NEWMARKETS. % r'Vrltt«ii tor Tb* lodtAo^ta Kew*.I The Introduction of the telei^one Into the farm homo, and the deUvery of mail to the farmer'e dofflr will, In many inI stancee, open new avenues of trade to the ^man out of town. Already the mall car- ' rier is drumming trade. He can take the [farm produce to the coanty-eeat or railroad elation. iNnoe bis tripe are ret^ar I and can be depended upon, he can d^ver llhesh butter, fresh eff» mr garden pro- ■ dure within a few hours to the consumer’s table. The telephone ooonects the ■producer with the corisutoer, which peritfUs a clear understandlnc between them. - The farmer llvina several miles from a [ jnarket allows his surplus berries, tomabcaite, etc., to fo Ito wasta The futtor and «t(g» not ^nsumed In the family are usuaUy sent to the country ftoa*, where they command, but a very low price. Ail butter, regardless of quality, goes into one*TBarrel: no difference le made In the price of fresh and stala eggs. Thor# Is. Indeed, little Incentive for the farmer to produce a anperlor article, for n goes Into the market for the same price as one of low quality. The surplus food Lproducts ttpta the farm. Instead of being a v«pry insignificant sourcs of income may bo made to do 4 great daal toward increasing the cre^ *We of *be ledger. The farmer can study the market and direct We energies and attention along some spedal ,Une that he is now ftdlowlng without Introducing any mdlcal change In jiiis farm management The man away frfim town will tend to bqpome a speelallet. The only change ueoeeeary Is in I ths farmer himself. Ho must put mors fotelllgenoe In bis work. His surplus of berries, of butter, of garden vegoUblee, muat be of a fupinlor quality. The consumer will ask for them because they are of a better grade than those found in the general market and are IrSniu To take advantage of these new opportunities ths farmer must have a richer garden, better cultivated: a cow that will not only raise a good calf, but will yield a fair quantity of milk for the food consumed. The egtra expense Incurred in producing a marketable product Is more than repaid by giving a fine dish for the family table. The Inoonif from the surplus then iMWJOines clear again. A better MBdereUndlng of the buefiiese, together J profits, will gi a long way Ing the old dasher chum, so otmtihOn on almost every farm, wl^ a modern type, the badc-breaUng galden boe with new garden tools that do better work muck easier, Ths greatest bemflt obtained by trading direct to the city consumer is the influence it has upon the farmer himself. He realises that hie produce sells tor what it is worth. He leame from experience that a high-grade article, well presented to the uonsutner, will command a good price. The Fgmlly Cow. No animal upon the farm so readily responds to good or to bad traatment, to exposure and cold, or to protection and comfort as does the cow. The cold wave ' may make the steer lose slightly in j weight. It may prevent the herd of swine from showing a gain In pr^jiortion to the I amount of food' conaumed, but the cow I will not only show a Ntaadstill or a slight lofli» for the time being, but registers a loss in milk not to be regained when warm weather returns. ThS dairymen have learaud that a warm barn keeps up the' milk supply as well as eavwi feed; that |tho dolioate cow feels the effect of drinkling too cold water and regietem a loss in the milk she gives. They have learned, [too. that it le moiiSy to ineea to cater lo ithe COW'S wants, giving her elwtn, warm, [well ventilated Muarters and feeding her, jot corn excluslwly, but a variety of food to suit her taste and to meet the [demands made upon the system. Clover lhay, ensilage and shredded fodder are |\mvd,. and the corn ration is supplementwith bran and Nhorts, ground oats, fluten meal, etc. The cow upon the farm seldom meets [with etjt'h treatment. Too often her winter [proteotlon le the lot fenoe. or perchance, |itm etrawstack, wlnh the hole she has dug nto it. She is oovsred wttb frost on oold [mornings, and must take her share of chilly, sleet. . Com is her ohly diet In conjneotion with the straw. Is It any wonder jt^t her milk supfdy le cut short before lime? The farmer ft&df hU Ibmlly without lilk and butter In midwinter instead of tring an. ample supply until grass }mea. Should shelter be inven the oow— Its iisually stands on the op«i elds wltere the bracks allow the chilly wind to atrike r. The bedding is InsuflUclent and tha >rs that the cow must breathe are euch M will contaminate any milk exposed to them. An a nmiilt ehe gives little return »r her keep. The tault is not so much ith the oow as with her keeper. In fact, the scriib oow is the more profitable under ach management. The improved antmal tvee better returns only under favorable liondltloua When these cdndtttona are lacking, the pure bred beef tyM or the Host carefully selected dairy aitimal falte to do better, or even as good in many In■lanoee as does the haady, scrub animal. The oow that is to be fr«wh In the spring should have brun or oats added to her ration, especially If she does not get clover, \y. Any radical change ahouia be avoidoiipt^clally with a dairy fcow. The Work Horaea. Fqi'in horses. Idle through the winter, ^eed very Mttle grain. When forced to it liey wilt eat considerable quaniltieu of Itraw and com fodder and pass the win[er without losing fiesh. Before the work eason opens they will 'need a eoneboUed food to give them extra strength

and energy. It is now high time that the idle boree receive a few ears of com wr a small quantity of oats to strengthen him for tbs spring labor. It is a saving of time to have the tools ready for use. It Is even more Important that the extra team receive food and exercise that will fit them for work in the field when spring comes. The horse has a smaJi stomach compared to that of other animalA He therefore requires a larger amouiff of concentrated foods to keep up the body strength. Bulky food is of little valwrto the horse when fed m the morning or at noon, when little time is given for meals. Such foods will give more service when fed at night. Corn, brsn and oats In combination form an ex"cellent ration for the morning and noon m«il8. To prevent washing the food from the stomach Into the Intestinal tract the horse should always have access to water before hie meals are given him. Seed Potatoes. The early planted potatoes usually escape the ravages of the potato beetle and mature their crop of tubers before the summer drought can interfere with their gn»wth. It win take careful sorting to get tubers fit for planting. The potato scab la found on almost all potatoes and does gr&t Injury to the crop. It mokes the tubers unsalable and the necessity for paring off the scabby portions causes great waste in preparing the potatoes for cooking. The seed should be tmted for this disease before planting time! The eimplest and most convenient recipe for the farmer to use is the formalin treatment Commercial formalin may Ix^urchased at almost any drug store. The receipt for its use is to add eight fluid ounces (about one-hiiif pint) of formalin to fifteen gallons of water and soak the seed tubers In it for two hours before planting. This solution may be used more than once. It Is always wise to select new soil for planting potatoes, that Is, soil in which potatoes did not grow the previous year. If potato scab is In the soil, treating the seed will not free the crop of the disease. Heavy fertilising with stable manure the spring Just before planting tends to increase the disease. When the soil Is to be fertilised at planting time a better qusJtty of product Is secured by using some good commercial fertiliser. There are a number of good potato growers upon the market. In cutting the tuber into seed pieces, It has long bMn a question as to how many eyes should be 1(^t upon the piece. Careful tests by practical growers and by experiment station workers have demonstrated the fact that the .number of eyes per piece le immaterial; but that the weight of the piece le a very Important factor. The proper manner of cutting potatoes for planting, then. Is to divide them Into pieces of suitable else without regard to the distribution of the eyes. Instead of attempting to have one, two or three eyes to the piece, aim at a certain alse—aa large as possible—and cut -to that size without regard to the number of eyes. Of eoiirae, no piece will grow without at least one eye. The potato that sprouts in the cellar or in the pit will not produce so strong a plant as it would do were it not allowed to sprout before planting. Keep the sprouts off your seed potatoes. tv. B. AXPERaON. PRACTICAL FARM NOTES. Food for the Boar. Admitting the importance of prope:* feeding for the brood sows the welfare of the boar should not be overlooked. At this season of the year his food should consist of a mixture of grains—corn meal, oats ground without the hulls and bran is a good mixture—given him for breakfast with com on the ear or shelled at the noon feed scattering this corn in tho yard so that he~wlll have some trouble In getting It, and thus five him the needed exercise. More or less roughage like comstsJks may be given him with root crops at least three times a week to keep his bowels in good condition. Hava hhi pen and yard clean, bed. him well and feed only enough to keep him in good condition; should he begin to take on fat, reduce the ration. _

value. A dosen men who might have been successful poultrymen are thus driven from the business all because the first man would not spend the necessary 16 or HO for a cock to put with the pullets hatched from the lot of eggs bought at a hi^ price. If one has a fine lot of pullets to be bred the coming season, and the only males on the place of equally good blood are closely related to the pullets invest a sufficient sum to buy a highgrade cockerel.

The Early Puritan Potato. As a rule the early potato crop Is the profitable one, although the past season good money was made from late potatoes, and-especially if the best table varieties

were grown. The Early Puritan, one of the new varieties, has been tested In different potato sections sufficiently to prove Its merit. Tho skin Is nearly white, most early sorts of value having a pink akin. In flavor the variety is first-class aud.4:lie tuber cooks well, being dry and m^y. another point hard to find among early sorts. It is a good keeper alse.

Poultry Feeding. A veteran breeder of htgh-clase poultry Who has a laq^B tyado among farmers says that he rarely tells a pen of fowls to farmers, the demand from them being wholly for the emrs. In Itself this is not strange, for the average farmer with a number of mongrel hens that have good reputations as mother*, finds It much cheaper tn buy eggs anci get the desired start in this way than to pay |25 or even SIO for a pen of fowle. The fanner who starts in with the two doicn or more eggs for batching and has good results, concludes that he has a fine lot of blrdi.. quite good enough to enable him to pose as a breeder of high-class stock, and keeps on mating them until the strain is Bhortly nin out. The increase is frequently sold to farmers in the neighborhood, and In two or three years a dosen or more fanners are of the firm opinion that hlgbclaHS poultry is simply a term without

Temperature In Poultry Houeee. In cold sections the complaint Is that it is impossible to keep the houses warm enough during the winter to induce the fowls to lay steadily. In warmer localities the difficulty seems to be that the fowls are too warm by day and not warm enough by night and in both sections artificial heat is frequently resorted to. Where glass on the south side of the house Is used to any great extent It Is difficult to keep the bouse from cooling off at night to such an extent that the fowls frequently catch cold. In such cases a curtain of burlap, to let down over the glass at night or after aundown. would help keep up the temperature of the house. In cold sections the warmly constructed houses, well ventilated and free from drafts, will answer very well without artificial heat for any of the breeds with small combe and wattles; Indeed, the temperature would likely be more uniform than in localities where tha doja were much warmer than the nights. Uniformity of, temperature should be tained If possible and it will not be difficult if the glass Is covered as suggested and a supply of curtains is kept on hand for additional protection, to hang in front of the roosts when the nights promise to be unusually cold. This, coupled with whole com fed at night to give the fowls a good supfdy of heating fuel, will carry them safely through cold nights. Cutting Seed Potatoes. As long as different men grow different varieties of potatoes on different soils. Just so long will there be differences of opinion as to the size proper for cutting the seed tuber. With the prospect of seed potatoes being high In price the coming season, the claims of the growers who advocate the single eye seed should be considered. Success with the single eye for seed comes oftenest when the soil la in the best possible condition for jmtato growing and when the seed tubers that are cut are sound, of average size and of a strain that is not run down. By cutting the single eyes from the center of a potato of average size and cutting in Mock form we get first-class seed, but the pieces at either end of the tuber frequehtly have two -or three eyes. If the soil is not rich and In good tilth or if the seed can not be planted early, then one had best not depend upon the single eye plan.

friend as Bobbins limped into the drug store and sat at the defunct soda fountain ft wait

for a car. Bobbins looked mentally as well as physically hurt, but. finally said; “Gout? Say, .how the deuce do you think a man ccui afford gout'and a family on twenty dollars a week. Naw, 'taln’t gout. It’s too much mother-in-law,” And then, noticing the look of horror In his

friend’s eyes, he hastened to explain.

‘•Well, you see, she didn't really do it herself with an dx or a club or anything, but she was a sort of accessory before the act—or something like that. During the recent warm weather my wife had an idea that she wanted a new refrigerator—said ours leaked and the weather was so warm that the meat spoiled. Told her to use the furnace, but she said that 'ud be unhandy and she didn’t want to freeze the ineat anyway. Said .we could have her mother’s refrigerator, ’cause she was going to move into a flat and couldn’t keep anything but a folding bed. six chairs and a piano, so 1 telephoned for a moving wagon to meet me at her mother’s home. “Don't know where on earth they'got the driver of that wagon—smallest darky I ever saw. Asked him if he was that way naturally, or if It h&d been done trying to pare him down to reach white meat, but he Just grinned and said he used to be a safe mover—kitchen safes. I reckon. “Well, anyway, we started for that refrigerator, and it was Just as big as that darky was little. Kind of phased the little fellow when he saw it, and he asked if I would help him, Huh. Must

of thought I was a big brute.

“We took some butter and Jelly and stuff out of it and then started for ths door. Made some awful dents in the wall with the darky once or twice, but he said be didn’t care, and 1 guess he didn’t, ’cause I was doing most, of the work. We broke all the castors off the thing and

tore the steps off the back porch.

“Say, I never before dreamed of such a high wagon as that little darky bad succeeded in finding somewhere. He said he’d get in tho wagon If I’d sort of ease the thing up from the ground—said he was more used to the work than X was and could guide it into the wagon better. “Maybe he was guiding, but I believe he was pushing down on the thing. ^ lifted like a drunken derrick, and kept on lifting, jU^t an inch at a time—got the thing up to my knees, then up to my waist and finally got the bottom end into the wagon with the top toward me. And then. Just as tho darky was pulling the refrigerator a little further into the wagon the top lid of the blame thing fiew open and a hundred-pound cake of ice slid out and fell on that foot. Mother-in-law says she got an extra supply the day before, exacting to freeze some cream, but say, and his voice sunk to a

hiss. “X Awlieve It was a put up Job.”

Sketch of the Association. In May. 1883, a few art loving people, at the invitation of Mrs. May Wright Sewall, met and organized the Indianapolis Art Association with Mrs. Albert Fletcher as president. Many who were at that meeting are gone, retaining their interest to the last; many dropped from the membership In the struggles which followed; but one name, that of Mrs, Sewall, Is still on the list, and her interest and zeal has

never abated.

At first exhibitions were held in the homes of the members—tapestries, rogkwood potter}', etc., being among the things shown, and some of the exnibits have been very pretentious. . As the membership and Interest grew, the question constantly presented itself of a permanent home for the association. Tho ambition of the association was great, but tJie art spirit was dormant in the city. The association had to struggle,, work and beg for every step of progress that was made. The city was not ready for art, but the few faithful ones urged the faint hearted on. Private homes. Masonic hall, store rooms in various parts of the city, the Propylsedm and Lieber’s gallery, have all served as temporarjhomes for the exhibit. When the affairs of the association looked blackest a friend almost unknown to the citizens of Indianapolis who had accumulated a fortune, and was alone In the world, wishing to leave his wealth where It would do most good, selected the Art Association as the recipient of his benefaction. This was a red letter day.For four years, from April, 1895 to April, 1899, the money was in the hands of the court waiting for the distant relatives of Mr. Herron to decide their claims. The association was anxious to begin arrangements for the new hpme, and to-day it has the ground and a|temporary building In which to safely keflp its pictures and maintain an art school. The association has J^d but four presidents. Mrs. Albert Fktcher served only a few months, to be ['succeeded by the Rev. N. A. Hyde, whose long term of faithful service coverg the most tn'ing and critical i>eriod In the history of the

association.

His keen interest and faithful attendance at the meeting of the board of directors never abated. Mrs. May Wright Sewall was the next In succession, and her Interest, never flagged, whether as secretar}-, “vice-president, president or among the ranks as private. She is never absent from the meetings of the board. It was during her term of office that word cUme of the magnificent bequest from John Herron. She had known of this for some months, but had been sworn to secrecy. One afternoon in April she called her band of faithful workers to her house and told the news. Hugh H. Hanna, the present president, enters earnestly and zealously into every good W'ork he undertakes. His hand was felt In apportioning the estate into three parts—the first 1160,000 to be set aside and the interest used for the purchase of art treasures. $10,000 to be Tised in the same way for an art school, and $65,000 to be appropriated for grounds and building, the thought being that the association's friends would more readily assist In helping to erect a building than In purchasing treasures for It afterward. His policy was to make haste slowly. The purchase of the Talbott property was made after much deliberation, and after all available sites which had been offered had been thoroughly canvassed. The wisdom of the present location time

alone will decide. The Art School.

One cherished plan of the veterans In the ciuse has always been an art school. The story of the “McDonald Art School” (as known among the members of the board). In 1886-1886. is one of struggle and hope, but thq lack of funds finally compelled its clo:i|e. Its wfork was of a high grade and many of its pupils rank well among the artists of to-<lay. No sooner had the present place been purchase then the members began to urge the buildings and grounds committee to get the building in order so an art school

might be opened.

On January 13. teachers opened the doors with ten pupils and great hopes for success. To-day there are sixty-nine pupils enrolled and more coming; the present quarters are crowded, and plans are being made to enlarge the capacity

to accommodate more puptla

The history of . the art school would not be complete without a word about Miss Anna Terrell, the curator. She la a niece of John H^Ton, and had the care of him during the latter years of h'is life. She was the only relative be had who did not share In contesting the wUL Her love of art was great and she felt a pride in the noble work her uncle had dona Aa soon as the home was open, the board sent to Cuba (where she was at the time), for Miss Terrell to come and take charge of

the building &nd the school.

She Is In every way q^lfled for the posittoa. besides being neartliy in accord with ererythtng In connection with the

John Herron Art Institute.

On the walls of the bnlldtng are the portraits of Mr. and Mrs. John Herron, a clock which has been in the family slnoa USA and other things which belonged to Mr. Herron. In the permanent home

yet something to be said on the other side of this question. The calculation that over $3,600 is raised by 10-cent contributions for this purpose Is purely an assumption. Here is an actual experience: A few weeks ago, in a building having over 260 pupils, contributions of ID' cents each a-ere asked for from about half of the pupils. Of course, only such responded as felt like doing so. As a result. a little over $6 was secured. In order to keep the plaimi,ean entertainment bad to be given to qsdse funda But why have a piano? The teachers and pupils both appreciate the pleasure and benefit of having a musical Instrumwit. The teaching of music is made more effective, as the Instrument is a wonderful help in

ain^ng.

No society of thirty or forty adult singera would think of learning a new selection without an Instrument. Besides, many children have not the opportunity of hearing good music except through othar meims than ctroumstanoss at home can provide. Why deny them this? Thm. again, the disciplinary value of musto In marohlng in and out of the school buildings must not be overtooked. Pupils, when marching to the time of an Inspiriug Idece of mude, need not be told not to “talk in line." They are h^d by the unseen influence of scasethlng that la

more powerful than a command. Why Mr. Herron, in the pe;

do all lodge halls have an Instrument .* i room, known as the John Herron room. Why do military companies have their is to be set aside for these things, this bebandsT There is but one answer. Music ffig the only request made by the donor

is a power, and one that reaches the (in his will,

heart as almoct nothing else can. | A PRINCIPAL. I Bertie the Lu&K

The Man or Woman Who Falls to Got Befreehtng Sleep ia on Health’s Dowd Grade—Indianapolis People Know the Remedy. It Is a feature of the worry and hustle of present day living that wakefulness and restlessness begret headaches — lamguor— falling strength—people go at their work in a listleas, half-hearted way. Ordinary treatments have no effect because they have not the secret power of organizing nerve force, peculiar to Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerv’e Pills—the great success of which is attested by residents of Indianapolis. Mr. A. R. Grimes, of No. 49 Monument Sq., Indianapolis, Ind., says:—“Broken rest Is a bad thing for anyone-4t plays them out and makes them dull And nervous. This was my condition whTO I got Dr. 'A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills at Huder’s Drug Store. Since I have uaed the medicine 1 find the nerves quiet and steddy and my sleep peaceful and restful. They are without doubt a great medicine.” Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Pills are sold at 50o a^ box at dealers, or Dr. A, W. Chase Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. T. See that portrait and signature of A. W. Chase, M. D., are on every, packaga

One may sail the seas and visit every land and everywhere will find, that men of ailkirs, who are well Informed, have neither the time’ nor the inclination, whether on pleasure bent or business, to use those medicines which cause excessive purgation and then leave the internal organi in t constipated eondltloo. Synip of Figs lA not built on those lines. It acts naturally, acts effectively, cleanses, sweetens and strengthens the Internal organs and leaves them in a healthy condition. If In need of a laxative remedy the most excellent is Syrup of Figs, bnt when anrthlug more than a laxative is required the safe and scientific plan is to consult a competent physician and not to resort to those medicines which claim to cure aU manner of diseases. The California Fig Syrup Co. was the first to manufacture a laxative remedy which would give satisfaction to all; a laxative which physicians could sanction and one friend recommend to another; so that today its s^ probably exceed all other laxatives combined. In some places considerable qoantltles of old-time cathartics and modern Imitations are still sold, bnt with the general dlffhslou of knowledge, aa to thb b®** medicinal agents, Syrnp of Figs has come Into general use with the well-informed, becanse It Is a remedy of known valus and ever beneficial action. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excelleat combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants, known to act moat beneficially on tiie system, with agreeable and refreshing aromatic liquids, but also to tho orginal method of mannfheture. In order to get the genuine and its benefleial elfrcts one should always note the Ml name of the Company-California fig Syrnp Co.—printed on the front of erery paduge.
