SUNDAY THOUGHTS! JON MORALSks" MANNERS

IT A C LEB Q THIS, Thera is room for a difference of opinion regarding tha ethics of an open fair on fcunday. Men equally booJ and honest mar be found on the one side and on the other of that question. But we do not see how those f ho are good ana honest can do otherwise than reprobate the opening of the fair under the existing circumtances. First, it riolate" a solemn promiee. ThoBa who were authorized to do bo agreed to close the gates of the white city on Sunday in consideration of a gift made by the coternmont of the United feftatei to the fair of 2,500,000. On that condition the money was voted. It b3 been received in. whole or in part, and coined into eouvenlr Columbian halfdollars. And now tho local board of directors has the unparalleled impudence to repudiate its part of the agreement, and, while pocketm? tho money, to open tho fair on the prohibited day! Secondly, it is an act of practical nullification. Chicago acta as though tLe fair were a local enterprise and under local control. The fair is national in in its authority and international its exhibits. Chicago was simply chosen as the Bite by the nation. Hence the national wiil as expressed in the national law houid prevail in Jackson park. Well, consrresa hes directed tho closing of the doors on Sunday not once but twice over. Now, in the face of this legislation, the littio bundle of mercenary men who Bit on tho Chicago board of direction undertake to nullify these repeated acts of congress. Tis a matter of common comment that Chicago has the 'big-head," but nobody supposed it was eoswollen with conceit a to imagine that it was larger and Licro important than the whole cnion. It has bean caked with great pertinancy whether the people of Chicago, from a mere business point of view, coul 1 alford to attitudinize before tha worid as repudiators ci contracts and violators of law? Is this a good example which certain "gentlemen of property and fetandir.g" are nettin? to tho lawless elements in that city? If the dirtctora are at liberty to break the law why may not the anarchists do the pamethiii? 'hy dine &nd wine the one and hang the other?. The famous statue in lliiy arkut square comineaorative of the slaughtered nuardiaru of law and order should bo taken dow n and replaced by two lusts one cf Johan Most, the anarchist, and one of Mr. Hizinbotham, exchauMDi; enuH-boxea with a wink ot tie eye. The rerent action of the local boar 3, indoed by the press of the city, will confirm the country ia it3 belief that Chicago is a den of robbers. Apropc3 of the fair, we are reminded that ours is the c.e, par excellence, of propres. In all material directions Mr. Gladstone's statement will etand, viz., that the first fifty years of the present century eeliun all the centuries preceding Take it in astronomy, in tho perfecting of the tflescopp, end the invention of the spectroscope, and the doveloDment of eidereal photography, cr in microscopic acience, or in medicine and eurtrery, or in the ue of piant explosives, or in the recent appliances of electricity, or in the ever increasing eae and rapidity of world inter-communication. Ia not the advancement amazing? How ead it is that this improvement in materia! conditions should ao littio atfect the peace and happiness of the world! In this very century tho greatest contlicts in history have occurred the Crimean war, the East Indian mutinv, the war over the Sch'.frswL'-IIolet&in duchies, the repeated Ftrutr?le between Muscovite and Turky, the civil war in America, the Eranco-Prusfian war, the chronic outbreaks in Central and South America, and now the ominous armed peace of Europe. The truth is that peace and happiness are internal states rather than outward conditions. There is war without because then is war within. In order to pacify the world we must Gr?t pacify the individual. The best instruments of civilization aro not the "three li'e," and our va?t materialistic propaganda, as the facts show they sr to be found in the compel. Kegeoeration is better than education as a restraining power, better than law, and better than philanthropy ; these are imposed from without; that work froui within. Kecent events in Chic.igo ehow conclusively that the world's fair ia not likely to introduce the ruilleniunj. Whether hell in a place or not it ia certainly a täte. And men get hell into them before thayeet themselves into hell. It ia indeed true that, in popes if not in esse, "all law is in tho I'entateucb, and all history is in the prophet?, and all music is in the Prisma, and all the imaginative literature ia in the parables, and all the hope of the future is in the divine tumult of the unfolding Apocalypse." There r.ro many and excellent reasons for bringing children into church membership at an early age. Some folks are (hocked at tÜ3 and raiee a clamor of objection. 'Tis eaid children do not understand the meaning of it. If they know Jesus, if they love him, if they are trying to imitate him, and if they desire selfprompted to confess his name (and this is is what church membernhip implies) then they aro in a condition to be received. Suppose they do not understand the doc trinal facta of religion and can not explain the trinity and reconcile the di vine sovereignty and human free agency? Who con? All the di visive questions are questions of theory. All Christians agree In faith and practice. They go to war with one another about interpreta tions and mysteries. Probably the chil dren will come by and by to understand these at little and fight about them as much aa we do. What, exclaims some shocked old fogy, would you have children unite with the church when unconverted? No, we would DOt. Pat what is conversion? It means a turning around. Oej has been walking away from God ; be turns around and be gins to walk toward God. This is conver sion. What is the proof of conversion? "Why. the walking toward God. After children are doing this then they are proper candidates tor church membership. Why not let children wait until they are adults before inviting them into the church? We answer: 1. Baeauae statistics show that if they do not come in early life they will cot ?orr.eatall. More than fiö per cent of the total church membership was gained oefore the candidates were twenty-one rears of age. 2. Because it is easier to come in early than in later life. The nature Is pliant, Habit has not assumed its empire. There

Twenty years ago John Stuart Mill ruled with absolute deepotiäm a large portion of the educated men of great Britain. Hia agnostic conclusions were heralded as the end of all controversy. Today tha "modern Aristotle" is a mora harmless back number than hi trreat protolpye. Even his late worshipers have risen in insurrection, and one of them declares that he "will no longer consent to live sünntly under the incubus of bad logic ami false philosophy wnich Mr. Mill's works have laid upon the world." "The Three Essaya" are characterized by a marvellous combination of intricate PGDhistry and confuted apprehension. Now that Mill has passed of the stage, and hia personality no longer magnetizes men, his sophistry and confusion are eaily detected. In this realm of religious philo-ophy his influence is certain to dwindle, peak and pine. If man has ascended from tha monkey instead of descending from Adam; if he has come up from the lower animals and not come down from heaven, then how ia it that he should have deireneratod and not improved all around the circle of hia animal powers? A recent acute writer on this theme hss ehown that every animal power in man baa undergone srreat losp. even to the extent of a fuli half of its entire vaiuo in the course of evolution. Men are froia two to four times a large aa monkeys, and size for eize have half their strength and onetenth ot their agility.

It must be a desperate thing to be poor in Kngland. For as the "Darkest Kngland Focial Scheme" puts it, "In this curious country it is a crime to steal bread ; a crime pumsnanse by imprisonment to ask bread of the charitable; a crime punisha ble by longer and more degrading impris onment to ask for bread from the public otlicer wnois paid to decline 'ont-dooii re lief and a crime to kill one's self for want ot bread!" iiaa uoi made this world as a mere lodging for men, Bays one, a thing less lovely would have served his purpose; but He ceiled it with blue, curtained it with fttar, festooned it with clouds. cooled it with Hashing fountains, and ventilated its Kdenic bowers with the moving pinions of attendant angels put us not in barrack, but in a palace.

FROM THE FARMS TO TOWN.

THE DRIFT OF POPULATION 13 FROM COUNTRY "TO CITY. Olhfp Mntters DUrtia! for Our Agricul tural llnvtrr Oh.terver's Xotr Cooking 1'ood for ling An Inquiry About Graft li'H Ai!o Trr Tho Wife's SIi:ir CoOperation Again n Failure Tobacco IMi.t Mutter l'acknge I'oultry Tick t'l A ltmlfrct of Valuable Itecipcs. The census report.? have shown that the drift of population is from the country to the towns and cities. Many sections tdtow a big increase in population, but all the increase id found outside of rural commumtiiH. In not a few cases purely agricultural districts contain fewer people than they did years ago. At this time we do not propose to enter into a discussion of tho various causes that have led to this condition of allairs, but rather to make a few tHiggontioiia to thoga who contemplate n change, and aleo to note the fact that tliis exodus from the country is not a thing to be deplored in itself. The feeling of unrest that has seized upon fo many of the farmers as a result of .'Bsened incomes has bean severely criti cised by some wbo knew little of the true situation. No blame attaches to the man who does not willfully accept a life of rather severe economy when he be'ievcs that he is able to make money in city or town. This desire to improve one's circumstances is natural and everyone is inUuencod by it. Hut observation teaches that many make a mistake vhen they exchange the plain country life of tho farmer for that of the city worker. On the surface tho life of the latter appears preferable. Moro money is handled, better clothes may be worn and the outside show may be creater, but the average farmer has many comforts and conveniences, much leisure and a wholesome abundance that he leaves behind him when he ex changes country for town life. He usually learna that his lot was not bo bad as he msgined. The lesson of content has been learned by a very few in this world. If the drift city ward was a good thing for all in it, then would this department encourage it. As matters stand it can only caution. The change does not usually atlord all that it promises. I3ig salaries are eaten up in reota and other necessary expenses. Wages are nominally high but in truth are not able to alford a family tbe abundance that is found in farmers' homos. It is safe to Bay that nine farmers out of ten who leave their farms for town life find when too lato that they could not alford to exchange places with the men they have envied. Tho fact is that farmers are even yet much better off, so far as the comforts of life po, than tha great majority, however much we may object to the iUe.'lQctsof unjust legislation. Habits of industry and economy are pulling the farmers through this depression, and it is always a bad policy to swap horees when cronäiog a stream. However, thousands are going to the cities, and by so doing thev improve the condition of those that remain. They are swelling the ranks of the consumers and lessening the number of the producers of farm products. This seems to be a necessary adjustment of allairs. Farm machinery ha increased the productive capacity of farm labor to such a degreo that one man can do the work of three men of half a century ago. The consumption of food can be increased only to a certain point, and then comes overproduction. On the other hand there is apparently no limit to the demand for many of the products of city labor. The gratification of a taste for luxuries and other pleasures a fiords a boundless held of labor, provided enough persons are able to indulge in them. Only so much bread and meat can be consumed, and laborsaving inventions lessen the number of people needed on the farms, but just as the sewing-machine led to the "hundred tucks instead of one," eo in all branches of manufacture the number of laborers grows instead of decreases. rrom a farmer s standpoint the drift of people cityward ia a good thing. While it emphasizes the fact that farming is not as profitable as it once was, it al60 helps to bring the cure. It were far better if country lite could be the lot of millions who are cooped up in city tenements, but the growth of cities at the expense of the country is in favor of the farmer who re mains, lhe abundance of w it esomo food and air, the freedom from hating restraints and degree of leisure for mental and social improvement that evenings and rainy weather bring all these are iu favor of country life. Observer's Notes, There is more of an art in the transplanting of young plants than some imagine. Failures are blamed upon the weather or "luck" when they are due to negligence and carelessness. The first requisite is a good plant. In the ease of sweet potatoes, tomatoes, cabbago, etc., good plants are gotten by thin seeding and reasonably deep covering. Sweet potatoes in a hotbed should not be crowded, and should have at least threo inches of rich soil over them. Then fibrous roots form in abundance. Cabbage, tomato, and other plants for resetting should be sown in drills so that the sunlight can reach and harden the stems. When the plants are ready for drawing the bed should be soaked with water so that the tiny roots will not be broken oil by the soil. It is always safest to transplant after a rain rather than before one, and this work should not be done while tbe ground is full of water, as clods are formed around the plants in the setting. If plants are set before a rain a hard crust may form after it, stunting the growth of the plant. Unless one is sure that he will go over the ground breaking this crust eoon as formed he should wait until after a rain. Then, too, often the expected rain fails to come, and if the ground is dry the plants are badly stunted if not killed. Watering plants when transplanting is not advisable. A clod is formed where it will do the mont harm. I'uddling is far better. The puddle is made by mixing three parts of clay with one of cow manure and adding enough water to make this a thin mortar. As soon aa the plants are drawn immerse tha roots in the puddle aod then withdraw them. A coat of the puddle will adhere and keep the rootlets alive until the moisture in the ground begins to feed them. The manure keeps the ciay from becoming hard and also furnishes ready plant food. In setting the plant it is important that tbe earth be pressed firmly against the rootlets at the bottom of the plant. If this is well done then the soil may be loosely drawn to the plant, covering the stem to tbe first leaf. A good test of the thoroughness of the work is made by attomptinz to draw the plant out by a pull on a leaf. It the leaf break' before tbe plant starts the work is fairly done. Evening in, of course, tha best tirna for transplanting, but if loose earth be drawn up so that the bare stem is thoroughly protected, any time of the day will do. Until the plants begin to shade the ground it is ceceusary to stir

Feeders have always been divided UDon the question of cooking or not cooking food for hops. Many are eure that cooking or ateaminz pays, while others think otherwise. Numerous tests have been made at tho etate stations, and an Ohio feeder has collated tbe results of eocio of these aa follows: Wisconsin Cooked barley meal (four trials) was to uncooked as 03.7 to 100. CooLed corn meal (two triali)waa to nnoooked as ft to lvo. Cooked corn meal and shorts (tTO trials) was to uncooked aa t'G. 1 to ICO. Cooked whole corn aorl aborts (two trials) was to uncooked as M.S to 100. Ontario Cooked peas (two trials) to un- j oooKea as b-i.'j to iuu. Michigan Scalded corn and oatue&l was to wet meal as 101.7 to ICO. Kausas. Cooked ahellsd corn was to uncooked corn as 64 to 100. Iowa. Cooked shelled corn (two trials) was to uncooked shelled corn as c2.3 to 100. Cooked corn meal (two trials) was to uncooked as 7'J.3 to 100. Maine Cooked corn meal (nine trials) was to uueooked aa 82.0 to 100. A study of these station rraults will abow that iu every instance excepting Michigan, the evidence is in favor of raw food. Prof. Stewart, while he claims his experiment ahows a protit in cooking, says that cooking should not he practiced unless the food can bo fed warm, and the animals kept in a buildinc of even tetnpe r ature at about 60 degrees, in the face of these facti what is the use of the mass of farmers aud heavy hoar-producers to undertake the cooking of food for their hogs with any hope of obtain ins: a profit? There are other Hues of improve ment that lis can work atom; that will assured ly bring a protit auj oarry with them tha feel ing that Letter farming is being done. Moor About Jr.if ling. To the Agkicvltcral Editor Sir: Will you rlease tell us in The Sentinel the Lest time of year for crafting apple trees? I C. lt. M. Sprine is tho proper time. In your latitude (Delphi, Ind.) April is probably the beht month, although grafting ia successfully performed throughout the month of May. When the sap begins to flow frealy the conditions for grafting are at their beet. Let all those contemplating grafting bear ia mind that the chief point eouht U a perfect union between the inner bark of tbe tree-etock and the inner bark of the cion. Thon the pap can pass from etock to cion. Tho outer bark never unites, but makes a near. Uee only laat year's growth for cions. Wood two years old is sometimes uped, but tbe operation is not uniformly successful. Tho AVif;'a Share. To the Agrictltcke Kpitou Sir : In last week's Sentinel you ask, "What is the wife's share of the farm income?" I answer that if a wife manages a home well, doinz all the work she can, and trying to make and eavo money as well as her husband, she has a right to just as muc h of the profits of tbe partnership as he has. It is cot right that a wifo should have to ask for a half dollar and explain what she wants to use it for when her husband spends dollars without thinking of consulting: her? iSome wives do not get nearly as much as tho wages of a hired giri when they do all the kitohen work, take care of tbe home and children and ?lavo from morning tiil night. The wife's share! It is half of the income if 6he wants it when it is chiefly the result of the bard work of the husband and wife. I don't believe in woman's suifrage. but I do believe in woman's ritrhts. Tbe partnership should not be wholly onesided. Am I not rizht? DoiiOTilY M. This is a good thioz in the garden, ears T. Greiner, the well known authority on gardening. It can usually be had quite cheaply from the nearest cigar maker. - I use it very freely as a general ineect repeller, in greenhouse, hotbed and open ground. It is also a good fertilizer, beinj especially rich in potash. I advitse my friends to iooS about them for a generous supply. In hotbed, and cold frames you can mulch tbe ground a quarter or onehalf inch deep with if. It will eurely keep the green fly in' check. In starting cucumber and melon vines it is of especial service. When I see the lirt sign of life in the seed, i. e., when tho ground above the seed begins to rise, showing that the young plants try to break through, I put on a inch layer of tobacco dust or a mixture ef tobacco dust and bone meal ail over the bill, ana every few days I sprinkle a handful or two more of the same material over each hill, covering tbe plants and the ground around them. iSince I have adopted this practice, I have lost very few plants by the attacks of the yellow striped cucumber buz. Co.Operatlon Agtla a Failure. Tho National union is an anti-middle-man, anti-capitalistic organization which, in connection with the farmers' alliance, some time ago established a large number of retail stores in Kansas and pomo of the other western states in order to relieve their patrons ot the burden of the "middleman's share." The stores were supplied with stock purchased at wholesale, and solo! goods at prices only enough above coet to leave a margin juet eulheient to pay the expenses of handling. Then they ia&uod checks against deposits oi iaru

for it, but she did not improve, and finally the scab started to fall eff, and then she had boils. She had as many as forty on her heal at one time, and as many more on her body. After a boil would break the scab would foraa ajain. When she was six months old she did not weigh seven pounds, a pound and a half less than she did when she was torn, and her skin started to dry up and got so bad that she could net shut her eyes to sleep, but laid with them half open. About this time, at the earnest reqicst of friends, I started uinü the

CUTICURÄ Remedies, and in one month she teas contflcUly cured. lhc scab and boils were entirely gone and she slept and ate like another baby. The doctor and drug bill were over one hundred dollars, the Cuticura bill was not more than five dcllars. My child is now two years eld, and is as strong and healthy a3 any child of her age, and I can truthfully cay it is all produce, and these checks were received as money at the organization's stores. According to the Kanaaa papers, all the stores in the Sunflower state are now in the hands of re ceivera. In many cases tho stockholders have not only lost their original investment, but nave had to pay an afiseesment equal to twice the amount. It is charged that the stores made very little reduction in prices or improvement in goods as compared with thoso obtainable elsewhere. Some of the managers, it is claimed, were either dishonest or culpably careless, while the best of men were ignorant of the business, and incapable of competing with rivals who had years of experience. How is it that as a rule co-operative enterprises are rarely managed as cheaply or successfully as private undertakings? R. N. Y. In the case of these National union stores tbe trouble was that capitalists were trying to use the Alliance farmers. The scheine was brought into the farmers' organization for the accomplishment of the ebliieh ends of some schemers. The etores were not truly co-operative. llutter I'nckriKOs. Mr. II. S. Matteson contributes tho following article to the 1'ractical Dairyman: A short time atro, while on my way to the state convention, I stopped over a few days at Chicago. I took: a stroll through its butter commission houses and found just what will be fouud in the majority ot butter markets the world over, the worst looking lot of packages that can be imagined. ITow, it would seem to almost anyone a com mon sense thine to do to have the cleanest. tidiest packafrs possible for the purpose of puttin? up butter to go on the market, and yet while going through this tnicaio market i found in fish-dealers' places kits of mackerel and other hsu in paanaires far more tidy in ap ccarance thau were those containing butter, In conversation with a butter dealer. I said: "Don't you sometimes have trouble to get a buyer to try a package that looks so black and fib by." "Yes." he said, "that is one great mistake that tiairjmen in general make. Thev think anything that will stand up to be shipped is all that is necessary, and then complain because their butter harms on waiting for a buyer. Now here are poiuts from a soore of years' experience: Never use anything but the best of packages. and have then all well and thoroughly soaked with brine. lid sure and keep the outside dry and clean while soaking. Jfkept long before putting on the market, keep them iu a cool, clean, sweet p.' ace away from odors of any kind. If a cover gets soiled, get anew one; have them in euoh (rood shape that even an express man will notice how ti.lv they are, and will be careful as he handles them, and when they aland iu a acommiasioa house or some other place to be sold, their very looks will call a buyer s attention to them. Try this plan one season, brother dairymen, and see if it is all a matter of theory. Soma who may read this will say: "Well, 1 saw an article only last week on this package business, and lam trettioir tired of it." Weil, per haps you did. liut it you could only see the packuges of butter ia the different markets today, you would feel perhaps as many men who have aeen theni do, that every farm and dairy paper should have an article on this in the first column on the first paje of every week s issue. aud it would take a deal cf argument then to convince some dairymen of the:r great error. Toultry l'icU-Ups. The demand for pure bred poultry Is larger this year than ever before. Turkeys require care until they "shoot the red; attar that they are easy to raise to maturity, We find that we can afford to buv but ter-milk from the creamery to feed our hens at 5 cents a gallon. There are just aa eood reasons why pure bred poultry should be kept as there is for keeping any ciass ot pure bred Etoci. Capons eold tor L. cents a pound in the Chicago tuarkotd in January, iney rarely fall below HO cents and often go to 30 cents a pound. Pure water, wholesome food, clean quar ters and good care, theso are the four foundations upon which success with poultry depends. The liberal use of whitewash about the poultry house will be tound profitable. Do not look at artistic elfoct so much as gettin'1' plenty of whitewash on. Young poultry should not be allowed to tret hungry nor should they tie given much more than they will eat at onetime. Feed littio but often, very often, should be the rule. Dust is death to lice and the fowls should have free access to it. Sifted coal ashes are good for the purpose, but wood ashes bleach the legs of tbe yellow-legged breeds. Tbe red nltes do not etay on chickens during tbe day, but hide in cracks about tbe perches and sides of the house. Taint these with kerosene oil and they will ceaso from troubling. Do Women Knorr? That a tablespoonful of black pepper will prevent gray or buff linens from spotting if stirred into the vraterin which thev are to be washed.
