generally an indication Of indigestion.
This is most prevalent in winter,
when cows are heavily grained. Should

is well to remove the latter ration for
a few days. After day or two give

Flowers ns Food.

An interesting development of the
use of flowers for food is recorded in

ALL-BLACK BALLROOM.
London's Latest Novelty in House Fur
niShing.

The latest London craze in furnishing
is the all-black ballroom. The fashion
was set by Mrs. Wordsworth, one of the
richest women in England. who inherited
most of the money left by the late Mr..
Assheton-Smith. The walls of her draw
ing room are of solid black ebony, with
n deep frieze of gold flowers.
Above the frieze is a line of mirrors
and in these are reflected electric lamps
each enclosed in golden lily, which
stands out in high relief from the ebony
panel. The effect is to throw up the
bright colors of the women's dresses and
the long line of mirrors prevents any
touch of somberness.
Lady Drogheda, who only recently re-
turned from a very up-to-date honey
moon, which was taken in installments
by visits to friends, was so Fascinated
by Mrs Houdsworth's ballroom that she
is following suit with an all-black draw
ing room. relieved with silver and count
less small electric lamps ingeniously hid

WASTE In NllnurP.

a big waste. The Cornell Experiment
Station piled two tons of fresh horse
manure in an exposed place. In five
months it lost per cent in gross
weight, GO per cent of its nitrogen, AZ
per cent of its phosphoric acid and
76 per cent of its potash. Here was
an average loss of 81 per cent in plant
food more than the weight loss. In
other words, the rotted, concentrated
manure. ton for ton, was worth less
than the fresh manure.

Dynamite for Tree Plant ng.

Holes for tree planting, according
to the Engineering Record, have been
excavated by the Long Island Rail
way by blasting with dynamite. A
hole about two feet deep was first dug
with a posthole augur at an angle Of
about 80 degrees with the surface and
loaded with half a stick of 40 per cent
dynamite This shot makes a hole
about two feet deep and three feet in
diameter, leaving the earth IN the
bottom pulyerized suitably for plant
ing. It is stated that two men can
thus eXcavate 250 holes per ten-hour
day at a cost of about ~ cents per

War on bad Seed.

Good work in detecting adulterated
seeds is being carried on by the De

the results of the test, together with
the names of the firms that sold the

The Farm Cream Separator.

Inc STCA"
Butter making in the home dairy
and creamery has been almost revo-
lutionized by the introduction of the
farm separator which separates
cream from milk by centrifugal
process. The shallow pan or crock
system and the deep-setting system
have been largely eliminated, and
with their exit considerable part Of
the drudgery of the household disap-
peared The farmer is now no longer
required to make the daily trip to the
creamery; he can retain the skim milk
to feed his calves and pigs and de-
liver the cream, sweet, every other
day, when properly cared for, and
this substitution of cream delivery for
milk delivery by creamery patrons
saves them labor and millions of dol
lars yearly in expense.-Report Secre-

SAYSJUSTICET TO NEGRO
WOULDSOLVE PROBLEM
REYNOLD E. BLIGHT TALKS ON
RACE QUESTION
Declares African People Have Right
to Education and a Chance
to Work and Make
Good

Justice to the Negro" was the sub
ject of the address of Reynold E.
Blight minister of the Fellowship, yes
terday morning before large congre-
cation, including many negroes, at
Blanchard hall He said:
"Mushy sentimentality and quiXotism
never will solve the race problem. 1t
is not a matter of intermarriage or So
cial equality. 1t is question of JUS
tice. We shall have riots, lynchings,
turmoil and conflict just so long as we
refuse the negro his rights.
"The negro has right to be treated
as a man, not as a beast, an alien or a
child The rights guaranteed by the
constitution as inherent in citizenship
are properly his The first step toward
freedom is the recognition of manhood.
Say what you will against the negro,
a race that can produce such charac-
ters as Toussaint L'Overture, Freder-
icl1 Douglas, Professor Du Bois and
Booker 4. Washington is worthy of the
largest consideration from the proudest
race on earth.
Justice demands that the negro
shall not be Disseminated against be-
cause of color. The test may be char
acter, efficiency, intellect, but the
right thinking man is never pre1udlced
against color He must be given the
advantages of education, that his mind

oped and his hand made skillful. He
must be equipped for the battle of life,
and he is we'll within his rights when
he demands a chance to work and
make good. Before the law he must
stand on an equal footing with the
white man, and may the time soon
come when a decision such as was re-
Gently handed down by New York
judge giving a negro smaller damages
than he would have accorded white
man shall be condemned and eXecrated
as unfair, illegal and un-American.
Justice demands that the negro's
political privileges shall not be
abridged. If the franchise must be linn
tied, let it be on educational or prop
erty grounds, and apply to black and
white alike, but disfranchisement for
reasons of color is repugnant to the
spirit of American institutions. De-
mocracy drawing the color line is
farce and a humbug.
I'm the highest sense justice means
the development of sympathy and CO.
operation between the races. In the
upbuilding of the mighty American
commonwealth each race has a duty to
perform, and they must work together
for the elimination of all causes of
contention and suspicion and the cul-
tivation of all things that promote
harmony, prosperity and the happiness
of all"
