Farm Notes.
—Air-slaked lime may be used freely
on all land that is plowed. Its effect
will be noticed for several years after
its use.
--A calf well started on milk, and fed
judiciously with grain and skim milk
all summer, will be worth more at six
months than one not so well fed within
twelve.
—Tomato vines should be staked in
order to keep the fruit off the ground,
thus not only avoiding the liability of
rot, but also to allow the fruit to ripen
800Der.
—Turnips may be sown, and they
should be on rich land. The first prep-
aration of the soil saves much labor if
done thoroughly eo as to destroy all
weeds.
—It 18 predicted that the price of
corn will, in a few years,average higher
than that of wheat, and that as corn is
gradually coming into use in Europe,
the demand will be very large.
—Buckwheat seed may be sown this
month for a green, manurial crop. It
grows on very light soils, and kills out
weeds. The bees also work on the blos-
soms in collecting honey.
—Italian bees are said to be more
energetic in resisting the attacks of the
bee moth than are the common black
bees. As a rule, moth invasion means
a weak, queenless colony and neglect.
—A writer expresses the opinion that
it is often the case that theflavor in the
milk which is attributed to the eating
of some kind of weed in the pastures is
really due to uncleanliness in some
particular.
—The only sure method of eradicat-
ing purslane is to get it up by the roots
and allow no portion of the plant to re-
main in the ground. It is very difficult
to destroy, and half-way measures will
result simply in lost time.
—The most successful dairymen are
most careful as to the condition in
which the young animals are tc be
kept which are to be used in the dairy
when they become old enough for be-
ing thus used, says a Canadian dairy-
man.
---Sell your cows if you will not pro-
cure a good thermometer,a trustworthy
tester, and if you are not willing to
echool your intelligence to the utmost
within your power. There is no profit
2 unecientific work in this progressive
ay.
—-While the raising of the stock will
enrich our soil and ‘renew its produc-
tiveness, it will market the farm pro-
ducts better than to ship the feed
away. While grain growing is yearly
becoming more unprofitable, our hope
is in stock breeding.
—The dry weather has no doubt de-
stroyed the late peas in some localities,
but the rows may be utilized for late
cabbage. Where the rows have been
heavily manured for the peas it will
now be well rotted and force the cab-
bage to grow off rapidly.
---Do not count that man foolish who
harrows his 10 acre field 10 days be-
fore he sows his wheat. This fine,
pulyerization not only fits the soil for
the best work, but it brings up the
moisture in a dry time and gives a bar-
dened bed underneath, which will just
be the condition desired.
—Late cabbage should be set out by
the first of August, if possible. Unless
a rain comes soon the process of water
ing the plants when they are put out
must be resorted to, as it will not be ad-
visable to defer transplanting too late,
Early cabbage should be kept clean and
the ground loose.
—Coarse ground bone on the orchard
land will show good effects for many
years, as the particles of bone will be
given off gradually each year,and there
will be less liability of loss of phos-
phoric acid from leaching. Potash is
also excellent on orchards, ashes be-
ing very suitable.
---A young plant must have its pro-
per food and drink, the same as a
young animal. The fine, white roots
are the feeding mouths. They suck
and grow with good care ; they starve
and die with neglect. The more mel-
low the soil the more available the
food, and the better within reach.
Manure ie fertility ; that is, food.
—Farming should not be confined
to grass, grain and potatoes. Fruit
brings good prices when other crops
may be low. Apples havebeen very
high in price for three years past, and
the prospects are that the supply will
fall far short of the demand this year.
A plot of land devoted to an apple
orchard should prove a profitable in-
vestment for the future.
—During this season the weather
has been too dry for the lawns, and un-
less facilities for applying water to the
grass are withinreach the lawn will be
dried up. Rake it over, so as to re-
move all dead material, and when there
is a plentiful supply of rain apply 20
pounds of nitrate of soda to one-fourth
of an acre. Dissolve the nitrate in water
of sufficient quantity to give every por-
tion of the ground a sprinkling.
—Lack of knowledge of the char-
acteristics of the breeds has caused
many failures. The country is full of
farmers who have used the Jersey breed
to improve their herds with the view
of increasing the flow of milk, and this
mistake has occurred with those who
make a specialty of shipping milk to
the cities, As the Jersey is not noted
for large yields of milk many of those
who made the experiments became dis-
satiefied and refased to further improve.
Before using a breed the farmer should
determine for what purpose he intends
to use it, and should therefore aim to
secure the breed most suitable for his
object.
Hold Them Responsible.
There should be some way of com-
pelling the leaders in a strike—the
men who urge it and order it—to ans-
wer to public opinion, for their share
of responsibility for the deeds of vio-
lence done by their dupes. They
should not be permitted to let loose the
elements of disorder and carelessness
and take refuge from the consequences
behind the claim that they have ‘“‘nev-
er manifested any inclinination to en-
courage lawlessness,” That is the
phrase in which the Chicago Z%mes,
the organ of the strikers, echoes the
defence made by smooth Mr. Debs.
It cannot be said with truth that the
leaders do not encourage lawlessness.
They have the power to stop it any
moment. They did stop it at Ham-
mond, when threatened by Governor
Matthews by the state troops. They
give it their sanction, first by ordering
a strike which they knew could have
no chance of even temporary success
without it, and second by refusing to
exercise their power to prevent it. If
they have lost this power of control,
they are culpable for turning loose up-
on the community influences which
they well knew from experience wonld
lead inevitably to lawlessness. Their
followers understand what the leaders
expect of them—that they must know
their cue, aud when they get it must
proceed to tie up the railroads, and tie
them up tight, peaceably if possible,
but by lawless force if necessary, and
without requiring from their leaders
such definite instructions and open
sanction as would cause the removal
ot those high-salaried autocrats from
their comfortable hotels to close barred
prisons.
The dupe breaks the law, but the
leader encourages him, orders him, in
the way of doing it, and promises mon-
ey for his defence. The meshes of the
law should be close enough and strong
enough to catch the real criminal.
Debs is too smart a man not to know
that his talk of a peaceable strike is non-
sense, and that a peaceable strike, of the
magnitude and character of the one he
ordered, is an impossibility under
present labor conditions.
The men whose autocratic orders im-
pose such loss and suffering upon the
public are not responsible in the civil
Courts for the damage they inflict. A
judgment for damages against them
would be worthless. When they have
wrung enough out of their dupes to
make them pecuniarily responsible they
cease to be violent agitators and become
advccates of conservative methods.
Meantime, they should be made to ans-
wer to the criminal laws for the vio-
lence committed under their orders.
As the heads of an organization which
obeys orders implicitly, they issue com-
mands that practically usurp the right
of the Federal Government to regulate
commerce. Their irresponsible reign
should be brought to an end.
On To London.
That is Now the Cry of American Music Stus
dents.
As London is the Mecca of all Ameri-
can travellers in their journeyings
across the Continent, so it is also of ar-
tists of every kind from all parts of the
world, writes Norman Stuart to the
“Sunday Journal.” . This is the time of
the year when the hotels are full to
overflowing. Then the boarding house
mistress charges an extra price for her
rooms, and gives poorer food and service
in return therefor. The three promi-
nent hotels, the Grand, the Victoria
and the Metropole, all within a stone’s
throw of each other in Northumberland
Avenue, have not had a room vacant
for several weeks, and have been com-
pelled to turn people away daily.
These hotels, with the American news-
paper exchanges and Low’s exchange,
all in the vicinity of Charing Cross, are
the particular rendezvous of Americans.
This is also the harvest time of the
London music teachers. It is the vaca-
tion time in Amercia, and hither come
artists of all grades, professional and
amateur, to hear the operas, the various
concerts, take a few lessons with some
of the more noted instructors, and re-
turn home with what they are pleased
to call European’ training. Signor
Vanuncinni, of Florence, Italy, has al-
ready come to London, where each
summer he gathers in the ducats from
bis admirers. Henschel is through
with his orchestral labors in Scotland,
and has his share of pupils from Ameri-
ca and elsewhere. Randebegger,
Shakespeare, Walker, Holland and a
host of lesser lights are busy late into
the Summer, and the various schools
and academies do not close until late in
July.
Important to Contractors.
The Supreme Court Declares an Act of Assem-
bly Unconstitutional.
Prior to 1891 the supreme court held
that if a principal contractor agreed
with the owner that no mechanic’s lien
should be filed of record for any work
done or material furnished in and about
the construction of the building that
then, and in that case a sub-contractor,
or one furnishing material under an
independent contract with the principal
contractor was bound to take notice of
the terms of the contract between the
owner and original contractor, and was,
thereby , precluded from filling a lien
for any work done or material farnished
by him in the construction of the build-
ing.
To the legislature of 1891 this was
deemed by a hardship, and as a remedy
they provided by act of assembly, ap-
proved June 8, 1891, that the right of
sub-contractors to file liens should in no
way be effected by an agreement made
by the original contractor or the owner,
unless the same was agreed to in writing
by the sub-contractor.
The constitutionality of this act has
been frequently questioned in the lower
courts of this state, in many of which it
was denied. And now we have an au-
thoritative expression from the supreme
court, which in the case of John T.
Waters vs, Ann T. Wolfe, recently
handed down, sustained the prevailing
opinion of the lower courts by declaring
the act of assembly squarely unconstitu-
tional,
The Mosquito Coast.
The international complications at
Bluefields make of especial interest just
now a paper by Dr. R. N. Keely in the
Popular Science Monthly. Dr. Keely in
the beginning says it is quite possible
that on a little reflection we may con-
clude the fussy little republic of Nicara-
gua is as essentially an integral part of
the United States asif it lay between
Chicago and Denver. The proposition
will be startling to some minds until it
is remembered that through Nicaragua
the new American ship canal is to pass
which gives us a waterway to the Paci-
fic. Nicaragua is in a continual fer-
ment, The Mosquito coast along her
borders has long been watched with
covetous eye by the English. Once let
the English take possession of the Mos-
quito coast, the next step will be the
absorption of the Nicaragua and inter-
oceanic ship canal also. That is the
possibility to which Dr. Keely points.
A protectorate of the United States for
Nicaragua has already been suggested.
The Mosquito coast, or Indian reser-
vation, is a strip of land 200 miles long,
40 miles wide, running along the coast
of the Carribbean sea in the southeast
portion of Nicaragua. If you draws
line from Indianapolis due south, it will
touch the western boundary of the Mos-
quito Indian reservation. The capitol
of the Mosquito county is the town of
Bluefields, formerly written Blewfields.
It is the only seaport the reservation
has a little wooden village. It would
not have been even that if American
money and enterprise had not built it
up. It is incidental to the growth of
the great banana industry, at which
some of our fellow citizens are doing
well, bless them | The other industry
of Mosquitoland is the cutting and ship-
ping of mahogany timber, of which vast
quantities are tound.
The natives are Indians of various
tribes. Those in the interior are of
comparatively pure blood. Thosealong
the coast are a mixture of Indian and
negro, with a dash of white contributed
by traders and the jolly old pirates of
the Spanish main.
It rains nine months in‘ the year
in Mosquito land. Still ~~ white
people who are theredo well financially.
The soil is of extraordinary fertility
which is one reason why the Mosquitoes
are no further advanced in civilization.
Life is too easy. Nicaragua exercises a
protectorate over the Mosquitoes and
would like to exercise something more.

Various Materials for Road Building.
Funace slag has been used on com-
mon roads in Trumbull county, O., as
long ago as 1854. This material may
be used to some advantage if the supply
is not remote, but it lacks in wearing
quality, though doing fairly well while
it lasts. Probably any furnace man
can explain the great differences in this
cinder product, some being hard and du-
rable while much that is produced in re-
cent years crumbles merely from weath-
er action, so pulverizing as to form a
soil that invites the humbler forms of
vegetation. It is only a stone that does
not readily yield to wheel grinding or
frost action that is at all worthy to en-
ter into road construction. The ton-
nage to be handled is too immense to
make short-lived material practicable.
Common sandstone has no qualities
that render it fit for highway purposes.
Common river or drift gravel is good,
when hauling is not too far, and sand on
clay roads cuts the adhesiveness of the
sticky material and prevents the form-
ing of ruts. Roads on sand or gravel
are never in a channeled condition, but
wheeling is nevertheless heavy in dry
sand. A sand road is best when wet.
In the vicinity of Fort Wayne, Ind.,
considerable has been done in making
roads with gravel from the beds of the
St. Mary and St. Joseph rivers. But
the annual wear is about 20 per cent of
the material, so that a road is practical-
ly rebuilt about every five years. The
wheels soon grind up a dust on the sur-
face, which both wind and heavy rains
carry away. This action is repeated
many times through the summer season,
when the loss is much greater than dur-
iug the winter. It isa fact, however,
that the gravels of those rivers is of a
poor quality, as the soil tormations
they are not of a good character for
good road material from its pebbles.
It is not necessary to mention wood
as a road material, as neither the plank
roads nor the Nicholson, or, so far as the
writer is aware, any other wooden road
isa real success as a road. There are
counties in Western Ohio where lime-
stone roads are common, and they are
fine roads, but they occurin very exten-
give formations, much of the stone
forming road surface in a state of nature.
Use of Swearing.
Does it Supply the Wants of a Defective Vocabu-
lary ?
According to the headmaster of Den-
stone College, the so-called ‘‘use’” of
swearing is to ‘supply the wants of a
defective vocabulary.” At public
schools, he says, ‘swearing is only
found among the biggest louts,”” who
have no command of incisive language
without resorting to set phrases. This
is certainly not always the case. “Ifit
be urged,” he adds, ‘‘that sometimes
men of ordinary common sense do swear,
it is not from any difficulty to shake off
the habit, but prabably because they
consider that Beelzebub, in the sense
they mean tc invoke him, is as harm-
less as Sardanapalus would bo as a sub-
stitute.”
Swearing among boys, the headmas-
ter of Bradfield says, frequently takes
the form of mere garnish to conversa-
tion, and often disappears with years
and increased education—its use, in fact,
‘merely acting as stuffing in the chinks
of the mind.” Dr. Parker holds that
there is no substitute’ for swearing,
which he supposes, means the use of bad
language. “It is vulgar, indecent,
foolish and pestilent. It adds no
strength, no dignity, no true force to
speech. It is no use attacking ‘swear-
ing.” Attack the swearer ; make him a
clean-mouthed man ; and to make him
clean-mouthed he must be made clean-
hearted. Speech should be pure, beau-
tiful, musical, sympathetic. The swear-
er isakin toa mad dog.— Westminster
Gazette.

. Peanut Cultivation.
There is a new industry now being
introduced in the State of Washington
which might be successfully initiated
in our own State, viz : The cultivation
of the peanut. From experiments in
Germany it has been ascertained than
the peanut contains more nutritive ma-
terial than any other form of food, more
than milk butter, eggs, lard, or bacon,
beef etc. The American peanut con-
tains 42 per cent of oil. The Germans
express this and sell it at about sixty
cents a gallon. Itissweet and nutri-
tious and much better forsalads than
the cottonseed oil which we import from
Italy under the name of oliveoil. Af-
ter expressing the oil the Gerrans pre-

*Your MONEY or YOUR LIFE !"”—
Such a demand, at the mouth of a ‘‘six-

ly! With a little more thinking, there
would be less suffering.

be averted by the time use of Nature's
Great Specific, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med-
ical Discovery.

fourth for his guests.

with glass cases in which the harness can be
nicely displayed and still kept away from
