American Money Lust.
It has become a common reproach
- that is thrown constantly in the
faces of the American people that
commercially and the desire to get
money exert more Influence over
them than can be said of any other
race nationality. From the point of
view occupied' by most outside ob
servers, this charge is true, and yet
when the fact is fully examined It
develops features that are not so
heinous and condemnable as would
seem at the first glance to be the
case. Certainly there Is among the
wealthy persons In the United States
no undue proportion of misers who
worship money for Its own sake. On
the contrary there is a) larger per
centage of spend-thriftsTj and as a
rule tho rich men of our country and
race are apt to be geneV-ous givers.
There is not at the botiom of the

lletler Poullry on tho Farm.
Now that poultry Is in such demand
and at double the former prices for
eggs and chicks, poultry ou tlie farm
has become a greater Interest than
ever before. It is just as easy to grow
good chickens as scrubs, and they eat
no more and bring much more money.
A lady who gives much attention to
growing chickens on tbe farm sends
the following letter on the subject to
the Farmers' Ileview. She snys:
I would like to see more nnd bettor
poultry on our farms, and I believe
there is no way in which we can more
readily and surely Increase the returns
from our farms. The point at which
we should stop increasing the size of
our flocks is that at which there Is
nothing more for the fowls to glean
from the fields in tbe way of bugs and
lost grain. The tender grass aud the
young clover that are to be found nil
over the farm lu late summer and fall
make good feed for fowls and we
should utilize them as much as possible
by having a large number of fowls to
use it.
We need more poultry on the farms,
as Is evidenced by the Increasing price
for poultry products. This means that
the demand is ahead of the' supply.
When the prices get high there is a
tendency for the people buy other
food lu the place of pou.try products;
therefore we are the losers. There Is
another reason why we should Increase
the amount of roultry on our farms
and that is that poultry meat Is not as
solid as other meat, nnd therefore In
selling It we get more for the same
food value parted with than from a
like weight of beef or pork.
The better tbe poultry the more we
will get for the food cousumcd, which
Is, of course, of great moment We
have in most of our flocks hens that
eat aud eatsand never lay an egg.
Some of them have passed beyond the
age for laying and the owner has lost
track of them In the flock. We can get
better flocks by weeding out these un
profitable layers. Indiana Farmer.
Wood Ashes on the Farm.
On all farms wood ashes are consid
ered valuable on grass crops. In fact,
wood ashes have always held a high
jjlace In the preference of farmers for
fertilizing purposes, nnd as long as
ashes can be had of standard quality
they will continue to be used. Hard
wood ashes are regarded as far su
perior to the ashes of soft woods, yet
the variation in tho amounts of potash
derived from the ashes of bard woods
Is so great aa to render it difficult to
draw the line of value between hard
and soft woods. Experiments made at
s?- 'twill
the Ontario Station with Canada ashes
show that hickory ashes contain 0.17
per cent, of potash; red oak, 0.75; but
ternut, 3.00; walnut, 4.02; cherry, 5.28;
pear, 0.7.1; plum, 4.81; peach, COS;
quince, C.32, nnd grap cuttings, 12.21
per cent. It will be noticed, therefore,
that the ashes of grape cuttings largely
exceed all others in percentage of
potash contained, while the pear wood
goes above hickory. These facts show
that 110 farmer can purchase wood
ashes with a knowledge of their cor
rect value unless be learns something
of the place nnd manner in which the
ashes are produced. If he procures
red oak ashes be will secure about
sixly per cent, of polash, compared
with hickory ashes, and their value
will further depend (In weight) upon
the exposure to which the ashes were
subjected before reaching the farms, as
potash Is easily leached out nnd the
weight of the ashes Is v increased by
absorption of moisture from the atmos
phere. Ashes should always be an
alyzed before purchasing in order that
Iheir correct proportion of potash may
be determined. If such Is not feasible,
then they should be sold under guar
antee, in all cases making an allowance
for tlie amount of moisture contained,
the purchaser procuring lils supply
from some relinble and wcllkuqwn
dealer.

No bee ever punctures fruit. Tho
bee but follows the punctures made
by the yellow Jackets or wasps.
A bee does not sting when working
and active, but only when loafing and
irritable. A mosquito bile is more
painful and h.'imiful than the sting of
a bee.
Smoke injected info a hive causes
tlie bees to feed upon honey,- makes

Dr. K. K. Phillips, of the Department
of Agriculture, at Washington, has
demonstrated that bees to an extent re
flect tlie temperament of the people of
the countries of which they are native.
Cainiolian and Italian bees, like the
Caucasian, are gentle. The Cyprians
offset their vindictiveiiess by the fact
that they are the henviest honey-pro-diuTrs.
A queen bee mates but once In n life
time and that at the age of five days.
The average life of a queen Is about
three years, so that marrying nt tlie
age of Ave dnys brings about a condi
tion in which tbe bee differs radically
from humans.
Bees swarm for various reasons,
sometimes biyause they want more
room, or the old queen wants to abdi
cate as sovereign nnd give place to a
younger one. When there Is a revolu
tion in the colony and the old queen
Is superseded In swarming time, two or
three queens go out with the colony
and one queen will sling tlie others to
death, for there must be but one queen
in a colony. Queens hnve been known
to reign four years, but arc generally
regarded as unfit and superseded when
three years old. .
Honey will always be one of the

The Epitomist
Good Horse Htall.
The matter of having tho proper Rort
of an accommodation for the horse Is a
very Important one. An Idea, with the
description of the same, for a good stall
is given by a correspondent In Success
ful Farming, which Is as follows:
"The features of the horse stall
shown in cut are the hay rack nnd
manger. The former is built outside
the stall, and may be connected with
second floor by a chute. It should be
made about three feet wide and eigh
teen inches deep, -nd the wood grat
ings be at least eight inches apart, so
that the horse may easily pass In his
head up to eyes. Bottom should slant
toward the manger, thus catching ell
litter. The horse grasping a mouthful
of hay will hold it over the manger
while eating, where all loose particles
will be caught The uneaten portions
remaining in the rack will not be
mussed over.
"Feed box should be placed at oppo
site end of manger. If the construction
of stable permits have door ot back, to
feed grain through without .entering
the stall. Every detail should be car
ried out as indicated in cut even to
floor boards run lengthwise, so sweep
ing can be more easily disposed of."

The National Aid Question.
Jtojc r is very gratifying to note
V Jf that but few of the papers
of O In the country oppose tho
X K movement for national aid
S0r to good roads. Such reJ
marknble unanimity ot sentiment in
(he press Is a clear showing of popular
feeling concerning the measure. We
all know, of course, that the $24,000,000
sought to be appropriated by the
Hrownlow-T.atimer bills, to be expend
ed at $8,000,000 a year, will not more
than start the work of road building.
The purpose is to stimulnte road im
provement by furnishing object lessons
to the States, nnd to old the Slates
where they are willing to aid them
selves. It Is an accomplished fact that
the building of railroads by Govern
ment aid stimulated tho building of
other railroads without Governisent
aid, and so It would be in the mattet,)of
the wagon roads. The building of l'nil
roads has mode it possible for the pro
ducts of labor of every sort to be
hauled to the points of consumption nt
the least cost und greatest profit. Tho
railroads have also opened up new sec
tions and made possible our marvelous
development, and thus the (lovcrnnient
hns benefited a thousnml fold for nil
the nld it extended. When we hnve
the same wise policy adopted aR to the
highways the result will be still more
wonderful, nnd tho country will go on
to the full fruilion of American hopes.
And this Is what is coming. The
statesman of to day must certainly
know that national aid to highway Im
provement is n fixed certainty of the
near future. Public sentiment in a re
public like ours does not sleep nor stand
Bill I. The world is progressing; It is a
progressive age we are living in. The
men who hew the wood and carry the
water to sustain national life will not
always bear burdens that nre unrea
sonable. There Is nothing more mon
strous in our social nnd economic sys
tem than the Imposition of nil the ex
pense of road building and mainten
ance on the funning classes wheu the
benefits to flow from good roads are to
go Into every household, workshop,
manufactory, banking house aud mer
cantile establishment In the United
States nnd our Territories. He will be
wise who notes these things and gets
on the car of progress. National aid
to highway improvement is 11 demand
of the people growing out of conditions
that are intolerable. No other civilized
country under the sun has failed In
building good roads. The people of
this country pay a penalty for bad
roads that is grievous in the extreme.
Tho way to relief is through the enact
ment into law of the good roads bills
now before Congress. It is not neces
sary to tell Senators nnd Representa
tives that the country needs this legis
lation; they every one know It, no mat
ter what States or districts they rep
resent. But we may tell them that the
demand for it is growing every day,
and that the day is close by when the
proposition must be a reeded to. It is
too stupendous in its 'mport.ince to be
flippantly treated by the lawmaking
body of the land; it rnunot be cried
down by jest or special pleading. Noth
ing less than its enactment into law
will be Justice to those who sustain the

The Nation's Koads.
The wagon roads of the country be
long to the nation not to tlie States,
eounties or townships. Every highway
in the land Is pre-empted by the Gen
eral Government for the carrying on
of nn essentlnl part of Its business, nny
interference with which, even though
It be by a highway commissioner or
road overseer,' is immediately resisted
with the tone of the Government, and
the offender sent to prison. The Gen
eral Government holds fast to the high
ways of the land for the transmission
of mails, and no authority, State or
county, may intervene. The Govern
ment does not pay one farthing as a
privilege in doing this. The Govern
ment does not pay one penny of the ex
neuse of improving or constructing a
single foot of road in the land, exeepC
In its reservations, parks anu cemeter
ies. The Government has the roadS
for Its own use, and under Federal
statutes, if necessary to the continu
ance of the mails, all other business1
could be stopped thereon without fur
ther ado about It. And yet, we havs
people who thiuk the Government
ought not to participate In the expense
of road building in the States. It Is a
fair and honest proposition to say that
the Government ought either to extend
its aid to the States in highway con
struction, as outlined In the Brownlow
Latimer bills now pending In Congress,
or It ought to construct a system of
roods at its own expense wherever its
business, of whatever character, ex
tends. Road building in the United
States Is a national obligation. The ob
ligation will never be discharged until
the country has a uniform system of
highways.

Ena Dislikes the Spanish Sport.
Princcsis Ena has extorted from
the King of Spain, a promise that
she will not be expected to appear at
the ni'tlonal sport, bull fighting.
Like all tho princesses of the Eng
lish royal family, she is interested
in animals, and anything in tho
shape of cruelty to them Is exceed
ingly revolting to her. When King
Alfonso was In England he admitted
to King Edward that he disliked
bull fighting, but explained that it
was impossible, for the present, at
all events, to abolish it; were ho to
attempt to do so it. would cause al
most a rebellion. He explained that
when he was a small boy, his moth
er, In order to please tho people,
used to take him to thei fights and
for day3 afterwards she used never
to sleep, while he was so weirdly
fascinated ho always dreamed he
was a toreador. Cleveland Leader.
Beware of Ointments For Calarrb That
Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely dernncethe whole sys
tem when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be used
exoept on prescriptions from reputable phy
sicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive from
them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manu'a-tured
by F. J. Chene? A Co., Toledo, O., contains
no mercury, and Is taken internally, acting
directly upon the b ood and mucous surfaces
of the system. In buying Hall's Cntar h Cure
be sure you get the genuine. It is taken in
