The market always seeks the best, and invites it, but inferior goods muat search for a market, and frequently such effort is fruitless. the price, and even when the market is well supplied, there is always more room for the best, THE RIGHT FOOD. To feed a variety of food does not require the farmer to make a com- plete change from certain kinds others, but to avoid not be discontinued, but cut be readily accepted, while bran or ground oats may be given regularly. mal, and when it refuses any particu- lar food tempt it to eat with some other kind. A PEST OF PLANTS. One of the greatest pests of plants in the greenhouse or in rooms is the red spider, a very little fellow, but full of mischief. Whenever the leaves begin to look unhealthy or to have a kind of grayish appearance, the presence of this tiny insect is indi cated. Water is his great enemy, and plentiful syringing conquers him. But care must be taken to apply the water not only the upper side of the leaves, but to the under side as well When the plants are not large, it is 8 good plan to place one or both hands on top of the pot in such a way that the soil will not fall when It is inverted, and then !mmerse the plant in water for a minute or two. to out SHADE FOR POULTRY While it is possible at this season to supply shade for the poultry yard by the use of boards set aslant against the building or by some lar makeshift, poultrymen able to se now, If they did not before, why shade should be supplied. Bear this necessity in mind this fall, and in October set a few trees in the poultry yard or, if they are not wanted in the yard, set them close together in rows just outside the fence. A few native trees from the woods will answer the purpose, although fruit will well in the poultry yards f one does not care to set trees try a few currant bushes; they make good shade, grow well and will be all the better for the late 3 should be f¢ trees do do. FEEDING AFTER FOALING Both mother and young housed at night in a roomy stall, and food must be given which stimulates the flow of milk, such as boiled roots and bran mashes; of being dropped off as the grass comes. The usual allowance of oats should be continued, for the mare's aystem re quires as much feeding to produce milk as to produce work. A mare and foal do best when they have a little fleld to themselves. A mare with a foal should, of course, do no work at all; great danger that the exertion and sweating of the mother will react on the milk and make it deleterious to the foal. In addition to this if the foal Is shut up while the mother is at work It goes hungry foo long. and may suffer in another way Many farmers, of course, manage work the mare part of the time-—sometimes even allowing the foal to run along side when the mother is at work— but it 13 unquestionably best to let them run wholly at grass, at least at first—P.

Several years ago a hard. HHA» AW apa td LLB working and economical man lived upon a very poor Kentucky farm: but he lacked the one accomplishment of looking to the welfare of his land By and by it would no longer produce sufficient for a living, and he sold out to a Pennsylvania Dutchman.

He made some stout wooden rakes and taking all the children large enough to help, raked the leaves in the a: joining woods, hauling them and piling in little piles thickly on the remainder of the field. the job was done and for plowing had arrived. Again children were called out and the bot- tom of every furrow in the portion where leaves were used for fertilizer, was filled with them.

HE government of the Moro province is, In general, called upon to promote the natural deve'opment of these people, and not to “Americanize” them, after the manner of the American Indians. The conditions are altogether different, and in this particular the problem Is simpler than was the Indian problem. The Indians ware an exceedingly sparse population, occupying a land which the white race needed for the purpose of establishing homes. For centuries hoats of homescekers have been crowding into the lands held by a few Indians too primitive to real'y use the land over which they and their ancestors had freely roamed. The manifest destiny of the red man has been and is either assimilation with the white race or with the ashes of his an- cestors. The fact that the changes he {a called upon to make are contrary to the laws of nature as reveal:d in the history ¢f human development, that at best he cannot be expected to become more than an inferior imitation white man, may add a touch of pathos to his destiny, but cannot alter it. On the other hand, the peoples of this province are ¢ ymparatively numerous, aad thelr lands are at present neither needed nor desired for homes by the white race, White men are here to make money, not to make homes. They are not likely to become predominant in numbers for some centuries to come They are sure to be an important, though transient, element in the population; but their interests must be bound up in those of the lower ps oples. The development of these peoples can be best promoted with due and full regard for the laws of nature as revealed In history, The Moro peoples have attained the of vivilization which fits them for feuda'ism, and not for any of the more advancsd forms government Cannot this and some of the historically succeeding stages of d veiopment be skipped?

It is widely believed, for example, that by devoting less weight to superstructure and guns, and more to strengthening the framing and bot tom plates, a hull can be made which will resist such attacks. This would probably involve elimination of the intermediate battery and the re striction of battleship guns to a few of the largest calibre—a result not im practicable in view of the great celerity we have recently attained in work: ing these huge cannon.

They call their houses homes oftener than the East, and these homes bespeak the finer taste of the woman. Her education is likely to be more virile than that of her Eastern sisters, because it is acquired at schools and colleges where co-education of the sexes Is the rule.
