The labor and intelligence of the farmer bava been poorly paid (or a number of years. The condition of this haa been more grevious to bear in iew of the fact that it has occurred at a time when the wealth of the country aa a whole haa in creased at an unusual Tale. Capital, la bor and intelligence have brought great rewards to their possessors in almost evn.l it ia not surprising that a spirit of uu rest has taken hold of those engaged in agriculture. It is not proposed that we enter into any investigation of the causes that have pro duced t harte condition. On thin point farmers differ, but whatever our viewi, all are agreed in a sincere and earnest desire for a greater measure ol prosperity. The future i? scanned for evidences of a return to a time oi fair prices and reasonable profits. The farmer is most unjustly called a natural grumbler. Ihe truth is that the severe economies of the past years, and in eorae cases the existence of debt, would not weigh upon their minds one moment if there could be nssuranea of future reward for their labor. There are now hopefu' sifrns of 6ome chango for the better. Tie chanz may not be so very great nor permanent, and it i confined to Ameri-a only, but tne present outlook is enc-uraa:ine. In the firpt place the limit of production at low prices has been noary reached, while population increases fast, borne have argued that the limit cs been reached in the production of grün in this country. This is not true, but ue limit at the average price has been uached. The cream oi weetern land has been turned into wheat and corn, anl the East haa been tilling all the fields that paid expent-ea. Plenty of other land wet or thin, or otherwise undesirable, cat be brought Up to a high Mate of cultivaion when th6 pricft of products is a payiiff one. but until that time they will lie inthe jjrass or be treated virtually as waste l:nd. Millions of acres produce only half Tops because there is no ready money Ur their improvement. Any great incrase in production must find its inceitive in higher prices. The increase in promotion incident to the opening up of vast lodies of land by new railroads was ereater than the increase of population. The ciilerence is fast disappearing. The 8tir;IUB of farm products has nearly ceased t exist as a depressing influence upon price?. In all this there is some ground for tope in the future. Then, too, the eftctaof the new interest now being manifes ed by farmers ia ad Questions at!ectinjrtheir welfare cannot do otherwise than tend to improve the situation. Many govenmeutal measures have harxed the farmei, and their adoption was due to the fact that he was not suthriently interested :.n his government to iratch the course oi events. Interested parties could secure vhatever they sought without regard to theetlecis on the farmtr. as he ma le no protests. The present addition will brine agriculture to the front in legislative halls, and herein is some hope for future. The prospect is not all brightness, but The Sentinel farmer does not believe it is now the time to dispose ol our larms or go into other business. Fmrviaw Frii I-aper No. 5. By DjtIJ.i I think I have learned how to fight weeds better than formerly. The tenderest time in the life of any plant is just before it rescues the surface of the ground. It then has very little root and is unhardened by the action of the air and pun. If the Beed from which it springs lies near the ground, a slight stirring up of the soil, when the sun is shining, will kill it. If the soil is loose a slant-tooth harrow is the best iinplemeat for the purpose. Most spring crops can be harrowed without injury before the crops are up, and both corn an 1 potatoes can be profitably harrowed until they are eeveral inches high. These repeated workings not only ttop weed growing, but break the crust alter rains and let the air into trie soil. While the slant-tooth harrows on the market are very desirable, yet fully as good implements can be made at little cost by the farmer. Mine is home-made and does good work. The timbers are 2 by i inches, and teeth are male of half-inch round iron. If I were making one now, I woold use 60-penny wire nails for teeth, driving them straight down and then bendiug the points back to the desired inifle. such a harrow should be weighted according to the firmness of the soil, but :t could not La ueod lon after the plant are up. When I first began harrowing potatoes snd corn after they were up, it seemed that damage was being done, but examination showed that rarely a plant was injured. Within twenty-four hours all are recc, and the stirring of the soil makes ;hem grow faster than before. Breed's weeder, which has a great sale, is nothing but a slant-tooth harrow with extra long teeth, havinz pome lateral motion, so that the harrowing can be continued until plants are a foot or two high. I find little ne for this, however, as cultivators do better work after plants are a few inches high. It took me several years to learn that half the battle is won if one watches to tee that no weed seeds are town with grain or grasses. Much cloverseeJ is foul with plantain or other pests. No seed not etrict y pure ahouli be gown. Fighting weeds is a continual warfare on Fairview farm, Dut they can bo controlled by perseverance and forethought. While one could wish that the day would come when no weeds would spriog up, yet this is nearly an impossibility. Lradication of the worst and control of common varieties are all we can hope to secure. If they cause us to stir the soil often in growing crops they may be a blessing after all. They are a bad master, but not so bad a servant. n ht. The department of agriculture reports the average condition of wheat for May at 84 per cent, an improvement of 3 per cent, since the April report was made. Last year the May condition was placed at 98. In lSf0, when w produced 3W,000,000 buhelü, the May condition of the winter wheat was 80. It is observable, however, that in 1-900 the May condition was lei's than the April, showing decline, while th year's conditions are growing better. It is further to be noted that a May condition of 84 per cent, nsually precedes a much larger yield than in 1S!0, when all influences teemed to combine to make a short crop. In Pennsylvania the condition is 8- per cent, and in Ohio 75. It is very high on the Pacific slope. Spring wheat sowing is being somewhat delayed by the backwardness of the eeaon. Last" year S4 per cent, of the crop was epring wheat, to thereadsr will bear

in mind th the present rather low condition apies only to two-thirds of the crop. It fa the power of the Northwest to r or lower the general average very maually, all depending upon the season tra now until Sept, 1. I llad Mna.f aniant. Two o.hree open winters have served

to call tl attention of the public to the conditioof the average public road. In parts cfhe South a blockade was reported, rraers beinz unable to market their crs, and merchants Buffering from a staznion in business. A news letter cm',1 l-i ..(iTiainoaa failnrAa rnnM he fT. pected icause of this serious condition of affairs. There are districts in our northera eta fully as bad as any we can conceive on the South. A seon of road typical of the greater part our country's mileage is within the dailv bservation of the writer. For thirtvears it has been the custom to eiectJme ono to control the road work who as no farm work to engross his time in th bus v season. These fellow, work ing femselves into position for the little pay iat ia in it, have faithfully followed in ts footsteps of their predecessors br ord'ing gravel to be hauled on the road witout first securing; a well-drained road bed Tne gravel is scattered so thinly thatwo consecutive wet winters can sink thcravel far below the eurface of the roi. is true that rnanv farmers could use th public funds much more economlcilv than is now the rule, but they are mally too much occupied in private wrk and do not profess to be experts in rad making any way. A student ot tne pience of road-making would understand t.e cheapest way of handling the water ad this is the first and chief thing. A pod law may be difficult to obtain, and fie writer is proposing none, but is 6tat- . ... ii it .1 ng mat wnicn an snouiu see, nameiy, that farmers interest demand that their road monev should be far more juliciouslv expended than is now the rule, and that road masters should have some scientific knowledge of road-making. Changes In Crop Aran. The May crop report eays that the past winter haa witnessed but little wmterälling of wheat, and there ia therefore little forced chance in the comparative distribution of the principal crops. The lute spring, accompanied in many districts by excess of rain, has prevented the seeding of the total acreage intended for oata in portions of the Ohio and Missouri valleys, the breadth thus prepared going largely to corn. The large crops of potatoes gathered last year resulted in quite gen erally low prices, discouraging the growers. As a result the acreage will be some what smaller this year in New England, where the breadth" will go to corn, both field and sweet, in the states of the central west, where soring crops will occupy the area given up, and in me mountain ous regions (Colorado and Wyoming), where grass and ahalfa will increase at the exr-ense of potatoes. The high prices resulting from the shut ting out of Sumatra tobacco by present custom laws has stimulated tobacco-grow ing in the seed-leaf districts, and the acreage will be materially increased in the Connecticut valley, Pennsylvania aad Wis consin. A strung tendency to increase the acreage in Kentucky, in case the Bea con is favorable for putting out, is also noted. Theory and Practica True theory is all right It ia safe be cause it is true. Practice proves its cor rectness. It is a fact, however, that the practice is usually needed to determine wliat theories are correct. J. he experience of our best fanners is always helpful, and much of it is given in our farmers' insti tutes. Manv topics of interest to all have been discussed in the various institutes the writer attended last winter, and the cream of the experiences of our best farmers will t3 given in this department during the year. In this way The Sentinel can be help ful to every practical man. While en gaged in the tillage oi our various crops we want to know what other men on similar soils are doing. We cannot afford to copv, but there aro few so advanced in agriculture that they will not find it profit able to compare their methods with others. and then to modify them as the best judg ment dictates. Let us use every means to make this year s work bring in good re turns. e must think while we work with our hands. Anna rann. Asparagus is a delicacy that no farmer's table nee 1 lack. The plants may be bought from a seedsman, but a cheaper way is to raise them from the seed. To do this it should be sown in rich soils in drills about one foot apart and thinned to about ono plant every three inchss in the row. Clean cultivation should be given in the summer. The next spring these plants are ready to set in the permanent bed. An asparagus bed should be rich, moist, deep and loose. If the soil is clay, ashes and sand should be mixed in it to a depth ot eighteen inches at least, and the drain age should be good. I so stable manure and a little salt. After the soil is spaded a foot and a half deep and well fined make furrows about eight inches deep and four feet apart in the bed and set the plants every two feet in the bottom of the fur rows. As they begin to grow pull the soil into the furrow until the surface is made level. Atter tne second year tne cutting can be done freely and a permanent supply of asparagus is secured. A heavy coat of stable manure should be applied every fall and spaded in the ground in the early spring. Crowding of the plants makes the stalks small aud is never advisable. After the bed is once made there is very littie labor in raising this delicious early vegetable. Lot the beginner remember. however, that this depth and looseness of soil and good drainage are essential to its successful culture. Farm Cnnvsalsncas, The farm usually provides a permanent house for the owner. His life is spent in the one place. How strange, then, that to few provide all the little conveniences that cost so little and Davsowe 1 in monev and in pleasure. They help to make life worth living. A cistern dug in the stock shed, a new passage way made, a perma nent ladder to the loft, a dry walk from the house to the barn, a gate instead of bars, a pair of hinges on a trap door a dozen things that would save time and temper. The reader says the advice to do these things is more easily given than the work is done. Not necessarily ao. The trouble with many farmers is a lack of good car pentering tools, and an inaptituie for such work. J hey disiike to undertake it T..rkivVTivrr (arm.

The carpenter does as much in two days as the farmer would in four. The three or four dollars spent in this way pay 100 per cent, profit in money, in time and labor saved, besides the comforts and pleasure of the added conveniences. Best of all the work gets done; it does not hang and draz. Then treat the house as well as the barnyour wife as well as yourself. A

A few dollars thus spent win never be regretted. Egg Fradocttan. A noted French breeder of poultry has published the results of a series of experi ments to determine the relative value ot the various breeds of chickens in their propuction of eggs. He places the spangled Hamburgs at the head of the list, they nroducio?. under most favorable conditions, 239 eggs per annum; the penciled ... Hamburgs he rates 2L,oe2f:s per annum, tha brown Lehhorns. 190: the white Leg horns are rated at only 140, but Mr. Beale, the Lnghah authority, criticises this, as he has found them equal to any breea; the silver gray Dorklns, i:tO; the Iloudons, 125; the Landshams, llo, and tne du j Cochins the same. Mr. Beale criticises this rating of the Cochin, having found it desirable breed for eees. He ?lso adds the folo win a-to tha list: Black Minocras. 1MJ eegs per annum ; Andaiueions, i.w; ndottes. 140: Plymouth Kocks. 120. The reader will bear in mind that these - . . .... figures represent the production of each breed under very favorable conditions, and their value to us is chiefly in giving the relative etandintr of each. Then, too. it will be found that different strains of the same breed vary, and there can be no absolute test. Some breeders strive after fine markings and showy points rather than the development of laying qualities, and the best marked coops are not always the mo.nt valuable. The best layers are not usually the most profitable market fowls, and the "general purpose chicken, like the horse and cow, does not excel in any one line. Foreign Cropa. The London agent of the department re ports the general crop prospects in Europe as fair. The season has been quite gener ally backward, and there is a general need of warmth and rain. In Oreat Britain the month just passed has been characterized bv great extremes ot temperature witn sudden changes, but no serious damage is reported. The prospect in Franco is gen erally satisfactory, though there is some complaint as to the appearance of wheat in the North. Low tempeiature and lack of moisture have characterized the month in Oermany, but no serious results are appre hended. Lack of moisture is causing some uneasinessin Austria, but the drouth was broken to some extent during the last davs of the month. There are indications of improvement in the situation inKuesia. The weather has been seasonable, and it is believed that the damage to the wheat crop heretofore has been exaggerated. Valnabl Health Il'.nta. To Soften and Beautify the Ekin Every person is more anxious to be of pleasing appearance man unattractive. The most beautiful features and charming exDression fail to attract when the skin is rough and homely. Pug nof-es, cross eyes. big mouths and other irregular or uncouth features never appear so conspicuous and are scarcely commented unon if a person has a beautiful complexion. One can almost alwava make her complexion. especially if nature has given her at birth a fatr skm. The feasibility of pcessssing a fine ekin is greatest for the blonde, but both blonde and brunette have no need to have rough, pimplv skins. A' etrict at tention to diet, rest and the bowels, with the utmost cleanliness of habits and plenty of tresh air, will make a perfect revolution in looks. Over and over again the doctor calls attention to and denounces the wav we all live. For brevity's salco wc condense and append some medical truths. 1. Fat but three meals a day and never between meals, unless it be between the evening meal and breakfast time. Then the food should be taken upon retiring for the night a simple meal at this hour (milk, bread and butter, a sandwich or oatmeal and milk) will often bring a good night's rest to many an otherwise sleep less person. :. jo to bed and stay there at least six hours eiirht to nine hours preferably, "Early to bed and early to rise" is beet of all, but in city lifo hardly practicable. It is not so much when as how long we rest. The saying is none the less true today a man reauires six hours eleep, a woman seven and a fool eight. 3. The bowels should be freely moved once each day. A regular habit of attend ing to the bowels will insure against con stipation more than all the drugs known. 4. Cleanliness Much of the effete ma terial in the svstem i9 thrown off in the perspiration (although the greatest amount of waste is carried oil' through the kidneys and boweis); consequent!)', if for no other reason, the skin all over the body should be frequently washed. The most humble dwelling has waste pipes no person would think of a. lowing them to have no outlet, no means of being emptied of things thrown into them yet hardly one person out ot uhj would combare himseit lor a moment to a filth-stopped waste-pipe bocause he neglected to wash himself and keep his bowels open, let there is no grosser and more damaging sewage stuff anvwhere than in the human system Stnn ii n the nntlota nature civa im. And what wonder we are eore and unsightly? So, wash ! Use plenty of soap and plenty of water. Rub the skin; ecrub it. Every day in the year is not more than enough 5. Fresh Air City air is never fresh. No matter, take exercise passive (car nage, even street car riding) or active (walking, horse-back riding, playing games, etc.) in the open air. The air within doors is never health-giving, nor health promoting, because it is not freelv and nuicklv changed. The exhalations are breathed in over and over again. That, with the furnace heat, the gas, the defective sanitary arrangements, most con spicuous and damaging of all. the oldfashioned wells and the offensive, lifo-de-stroving, disease-causing closets are really dangerous. External applica tions to the skin are worse than useless. They do positive harm. nnless the above rules are observed for promoting the health. To become beau tiful one must make a sacrifice, as it doubtlens would be a privation to live by rule as the phvsician prescribes. But in every way it is a profitable return and worth a long trial. Try for six months to live up to theso suggestions ; you will be dumfounded at the beneficial results. Baby's Meals The seasons of baby's meals should be household habits by the time he is allowed to partake of cooked food. Do not blunt the zest which he ought to bring to the cansumption of reg ular rations by intervening nibbles and lunches. He will learn to expert and de mand these and be discontented when they are withheld. The practice of appeasing him when restless, from whatever cause, by thrusting a cracker, a slice ot bread or, worse yet, a "hunk" of ginger bread or a "cookey" into his hand is discountenanced by wise mothers. He beTiears his face and clothes, drops crumbs on the carpet, and makes a continual want for himself. When the hour comes for feeding him give him his quantum of proper food. properly prepared. Let him eat it leis urely, and as soon as he is old enough to " . . a a sit at a table serve nis meal neatly in a plate, cup or saucer; set on a neat cloth, his own- spoon, china and finger napkin Children Cry for

More Americans would breakfast, dine and sup in healthful decorum and fewer teed if they were trained from infancy to consider a meal as a ceremonial observance, and the nee l "f popular essays on "Table Manners w ld be less urgent. Habyhooa. A Cheap Disinfectant A cheap porta ble disinfectant is perraaganateof potash; a bottle full of these crystals, bought at the store of any chemist, will last for years. It can be used when wanted by putting a pinch of the potahhover night in a jug of water. In the morning it will present a reddish appearance and can be used for drains, etc. A small quantity of this liquid kept in a basin and renewed daily keeps a room fresh and destroys the diseaee germs. The only drawback is that, if too strong, the liquid will stain linen; at the same time it has the great advant age of being easily carried about, while it can be prepared in the smallest quantity at a moment s notice. Boston Commercial. Croup and Bronchitis Croup comes on sudden!', generally in the night, without warning. Immediately give sufficient syrup of ipecac to produce vomiting. You must produce vomiting in some way. Put lard and turpentine on tne chest, a tablespoonful of lard to a half teaspoonlul of turpentine, thoroughly mixed. A hot bath is also good. With my baby a syrup made of pulverized alum and sugar seems as effective as anything in cutting the phlegm. The child may appear quite well in the day time, but wneu it comes night will fill up again until it gradually wears off. Bronchitis and pneumonia are treated in much the same wav. Bronchitis comes on with cold in the head for a day or two, with a long, loud, harsh cough. There is some fever, but the ekin is moist. The skin is very hot and dry if the child has pneumonia or inflammation of the lungs, and the cough is short and feeble. The latter is of course the most dangerous. As soon as the child is taken sick do not wait, but put lard and turpentine on its chest and back between the ehoulders. If he is very bad also put on poulticos made of flax seed meal and boiling water Spread on a cloth with another cloth over, on wnicn you can spread tne lard and turpentine. Make fresh poultices every two hours. In a case of pneumonia 1 would put on . - . ... the poultices immediately, making them plenty large enough to come down over the lungs. II much filled up with phlegm, give ipecac enough to produce vomiting, also a tew drops every lew hours. If the child is constipated give an lriection of warm water, but do not give tatar emetic, as it is very weakening and the child neods all its strength. Keep the child in one room and off the floor in bod if you can. Lo not mop floors while sick. Keep a tea kettle on the stove filled with water to keep the air moist and the room at an even temperature night and day about 75 degrees; use coal if possible, as it is almost impossible to keep a room at an even temperature with a wood lire. but keep those remedies in the house, and do not delay in nsing, as often the time spent in waiting for the doctor to come would be the means of saving a child s life, if the mother knew what to do.

Worth Knowing Half a teaspoonful of corn starch dissolved in u tablespoonful of cream and added to an omelet of five eggs will keep it light, and a bit of corn starch will aiso prevent scrambled eggs from be coming watery, as they often do "that last moment on the fire, but be careful not to use too much in either case. An egg well beaten and rubbed over the lower crust of pics will prevent the juice from soaking through, and the juice of fruit pies thickened with a little corn Staren win not doii over. 1 -f , !

Then beat to a cream two cups of sugar with one-half cup of butter, add the whites of four eggs well beater, one cup of milk, the rind of one lemon, and add the flour, etc., previously prepared. Bake in three large jelly tins. Have grated one large or three sma'l cocoanut. They nhould be grated with care and kept as light as possible, et aside in a co'.d place. Beat the whites of four eggs to a froth, with two cups of powdered sugar and the juice of one lemon. Spread this icing between each cake, with a generous sprinkling of the grated cocoanut, also on top and around the edges of the cake, and it will look like one large snowball. Chopped Pickle Sometimes the house wife neglects in summer to lay in sufficient store of pickles. Ihe following maybe made at any time, is good when fresh and improves with age. Take two large cabbases, ten largo onions, one And one-half pints of salt, two pounds of brown sugar and one gallon of vinegar. Put into a vesael a layer of cabbage, chopped line. and sprinkle with salt. Repeat till all is used. Proceed with the onions in the same manner. Let all stand over niuht. In the morning squeeze out the moisture. Put on the vinegar, having mixed in it the sugar and two ounces of white mustard seed, tT'O ounces of celery seed, two ounces of turmeric and half a pint of grated horseradish. When it comes to a boil add the cabbage and onions, and let all boil half an hour. Ginger .Pudding flight ounces pre served ginger, six ounces of flour, six I Pltcher'o Caotorjai

It is a large octavo volume of about three hundred pages printed on fine toned paper from new electrotpye plates; vcry profusely illustrated with scenes and portraits of prominent places and persons, and is handsomely bound in the best Englisa cloth. It embodies in its thirty chapters a full and authentic account of all the great events in Indiana Irom the earliest discoveriesdown to the present time. This great work ought to be in every home. It Is impar tially written, is a charming work to read, and will do more goocl, to the rising generation in our state than any other book ia existence. It is practically the only history of the state published which treats of all the leading events in the formation and growth of our great commonwealth up to and including the present year. These it admirably depicts and gives therewith faithful sketches of the lives of the great men who have made Indiana one of tho' greatest states in the American Union. -mm M 4 a
