Cultivate Beauty.

Whatever there Is OF ugliness on
earth is provided by man. He makes
and allows accumulation OF filth and
pollutes the streams whose waters
should flow clear and pure. 1t is man
whose commercial instinct and indif-
ference and selfishness create those
things which offend the physical idea
of beauty and permit those things that
are detrimental to the health and NOR
ais of community. The importance
of the rapidly growing crusade against
ugliness in municipalities cannot be
overestimated. 1t does not deal with
architectural incongruities, though
they would be practically impossible
in a community properly educated
along the lines of the new movement
Chester Republican.

Increased Clgaret Smoking.

"Are we becoming a cigaret ma
tion?" asks the United States Tobacco
Journal This query Is prompted by
the statistics of the cigar and cigaret
industries for the first three months
of the year. The figures show, that
the output of cigarets in that period
exceeded by more than 5O,0OO,OOO the
output of cigars. The figures are, re-
spective!y, 1,S5G, G,369,22S and 1877 ,322,-
811. In March alone there was de-
crease OF more than 100000 in full
sized cigars throughout the United
States and an increase OF more than
09,000O0O In cigarets. 1t Is unex-
planned whether this condition is a
result of the high prices of food, com.
pelling the cigar smoker to take to
cigarets, or is burning protest
against the legislation in many states
against the paper rolls.

PLANTS AND THE SOIL.

There Is no soil so poor that 1t can
not be made to grow flowers, vege-
tables, shrubs and trees we'll, II prop
erly treated. Successful cultivation
demands two things-a good mechan-
ical condition of the soil and rich
ness. The first is equally as impor-
tant, even more important than the
second. Given soil in good mechan-
ical condition, it is simply necessary
to work in the proper amount of well
decayed manure at planting time.
Never dig fresh manure into the
ground just before planting. IL you
have none which is well rotted and
can not get any, then spread the
fresh manure thinly on top of the
ground between the plants and allow
the rain to wash it in gradually. II
the soil has been cultivated before
and has plenty of decayed vegetable
matter in 1t, excellent results may Re
had with artificial fertilizers bought
from the florist or scotsman.
Bone is good, but it is not a COM
plete fertilizer. Wood ashes should
be used with caution, as the large
amount of lime they contain may do
mischief. The best Is what is known
as a complete fertilizer. Ask when
you buy It how to use 1t and never
use more than directions permit. A
very light sprinkling over the soil
after spading or plowing and then
raked in is best. Chemical fertilizers
are very strong and will kill or in
jure plants il used to excess.-Indian-
apolis News.

The Weak and Helpless.

Those men who try experiments on
the eyes OF little orphan girls, some
times binding them for life, are eau.
tious persons. They are wise in Sc
lecting friendless children, for no an
cry parent viii call them into account.
The weak and help ess are the safest
victims. Hence orphans and dogs for
the vivisector's table. Is there to be
no punishment for these medical de-
generates who can deliberately and in
cold blood inflict blindness upon
friend.ess children?-Life.

MIXING CATTLE BREEDS.

There is a good deal of force in the
following, on the subject of crossing
breeds, by correspondent of the
Breeders Gazette. He says:
The tendency of the American
farmer in the past has been to hybrid
ize all his farm animals. Even his
hens all became a mixture after a
year or two. Especially has this
been the case with farmers in the
Eastern States. Those who had Jer-
sey cows have crossed and re-crossed
with Holstein-Fresian bulls until
they have got neither one nor the
other. and some of them come very
near to nothing. Some farmers
seemed to think they could outwit
the Almighty by crossing the Jersey
with the Holstein and so get the large
flow of the Holstein with the rich
milk of the Jersey. The difference
between the two breeds is too great.
Nature was shocked and dumbfound-
ed. The result has been in many
cases the small yield of the Jersey
coupled with Che poor quality OF the
Holstein.
There Is vast difference between
a good Holstein and a poor one, both
In quality and quantity of milk. Jer-
seys also differ very much In regard
to quantity Of milk. A herd of first
class Jersey cows Is as good as a
gold mine to farmer who knows
how to handle them for best results
and improve them by judicious Sc
lection. The same can be said of
the Holstein. The breeder of Hol-
stein cattle is quite apt to condemn
the Jersey cow, and the breeder of
the Jersey is apt to condemn the Hol-
stein. There are noble specimens in
each breed, and the breeders, the
men who handle the animals, are re-
sponsible for SO many poor ones. 1t
is the result Of carelessness, lack Of
Judgment, taste and discrimination.
The Shorthorns arc rapidly coming
to the front and the milking strain
Of this breed will doubtless supplart
many Of the mongrel Jerseys and
Y -Steins that nov occupy the land.

it is manifest that, in the long run,
human life becomes broader than 1t

FEEDING COWS FOR PROFIT.

A practical dairy farmer in Canada
referring to his experience, in the
Farm and Dairy, lays down the fol-
lowing rules for dairy feeding at the
greatest profit:
First, build a summer silo and
grow more corn, using ensilage to
supplement pastures in summer.
Second, take fifteen acres OF land
ION a hundred-acre farm near the
buildings. Divide into three fields.
Follow a three-year rotation thereon.
First year: Corn, an early variety.
Feed in August and September.
Second year: Mixed grain, oats,
peas and barley (four bushels per
acre. seed down ten pounds red
clover, four pounds timothy per acre.
Cut quite green in July. Do not al
low to lodge.
Third year: Glover cut in late
June and early August.
Do not hesitate to feed this fifteen
acres Of crop in the summer, even IL
things should look blue for the win
ter forage supply. Let no considera-
tion prevent its utilization at the
proper time, not even an abundance
of grass. 1t will always pay to feed
such forage in summer

sILAGE IN LIEU OF PASTURE.

piJhuiS itN 'i'Sc ~ 49, - iN'S'
Referring to feeding corn silage
the year round, Hoard's Dairyman
says that when land Is too expensive
to pasture, that Is, when silage from
an acre will feed three or four cows
while an acre of pasture will feed only
one or two cows, the silo becomes one
of the most economical as we'll as the
best methods Of preparing succulent
feed for cows the year round. We
believe that silo is one of the best
methods Of supplementing short pas
ture during the dry time In summer.
Silage is not equal to good June pas
ture, but we do not know OF better
substitute. There is no question but
that more milk can be produced per
acre by the use of the silo than from
an acre of grass.
This is just the thing good many
dairy farmers have yet to fully
realize, that corn silage can always
be relied on for producing milk, and
especially is the thing to carry milk
production through dry seasons when
there Is no grass pasturage.
