GARDEN AND FARM

CABBAGE WORMS. As a remedy against cabbage worms mix a tablespoonful of red pepper, one of black pepper and one of ground yellow mustard with a pound of wheat flour. Once a week dust each cabbage with the prepared flour while the plants are moist with dew. A pound of flour will answer for dusting about 200 plants. LOSS OF WEIGHT IN STOCK. On the same diet an animal at rest will fatten more readily than one that takes exercise. No animal should be allowed to lose flesh, as the loss of a pound in weight is equivalent to a loss of two, for the reason that an animal should gain instead of losing. There is also a loss of time when thte animal ceases to make any gain in weight.

THE CAUSES OF GAPES. Gapes are caused by small worms which lodge In the windpipe. Feed of different kinds will not cause or cure it. The only sure cure Is to remove the worms with a horsehair, which requires skill and practice. Ground infected with gape worms should be spaded or plowed, and treated with a heavy application of lime. It Is safer to move the poultry to new ground.

CULTIVATING FOR MOISTURE. By plowing the soil and working it fine more water will be retained for use when the season is dry. To retain as much moisture as possible keep the soil loose between the rows. This can be done by cultivating about one or two Inches deep after each rain. The loose soil prevents loss of moisture by evaporation, and also destroys growing weeds, which will take up a large share of moisture if allowed to occupy the soil. /

FUNGOUS DISEASES. Bordeaux mixture Is a preventive and not a cure for fungous diseases. It should therefore be applied early, adding four ounces paris green to each forty or fifty gallons to kill insects. Bordeaux mixture will prevent apple rust and scab, fruit rot, blight of tomatoes, potatoes, rust of celery and in short all of the fungous diseases that begin on the surface of plants above ground. It should not be used on peach or plum, at strength indicated above, as it is liable to injure the foliage.

RENEWING A LAWN. A note from a friend in Connecticut thanks me for suggesting the dragging of lawns. This should be done just as early in the spring as possible, and just as the grass starts and the lawns look green put on your drag again. If there is much show of moss, as there will be under trees, tear it out freely. Sow grass seed or whatever you wish to put in, and drag once more. Your lawn will look rough, but no harm will follow. In large lawns, where you wish for clover, this is a good way to introduce it. I know beautiful yards which have gone entirely to moss. This can be partly remedied with severe raking. If you have a bit of a yard or a shrubbery cover it thoroughly with rich compost, and then rake it in; rake it often, and, let me add, don’t rake the leaves off in the autumns, especially to burn them. They are intended by nature as a winter mulch, to prevent the killing out of the grass. If they lie very thickly rake them in the spring, and put them in your compost piles. Save everything, every leaf, every bit of sod, what most people throw Into waste piles or roadways; put this into your compost piles, and with it let the liquid measures be also composed. Nature gives us all the manures we need. —E. P. P., in New York Tribune Farmer.

DAIRY BY-PRODUCTS. What are the by-products of the dairy, you ask? I answer, the manure, the calves, the skimmed milk, the butter milk, the pigs and the chickens. In a small dairy the by-pro-ducts amount to but little; with more cows they become a matter of much importance. But even with the ordinary farmer, whose cows are simply for family use, these extras amount to enough to merit his attention; yet the direct by-products, the manure, the skimmed milk and the butter milk are often cast away as refuse matter. This clear loss should make the larger part of the profits for the uptodate dairyman, since the butter yields but a limited profits above the actual cost of keeping the cows. If the manure be carefully gathered up every day and thrown in a heap through the tall and winter, the lit is kept clean, and in the spring some plot of poor ground can be made productive when the heap is scattered abroad. As to the skimmed milk, if before it begins to sour meal be stirred with it and it be fed to chickens, pigs, or calves, it will be found to yield a good per cent, of profit. Butter milk may be sold for ten cents a gallon in many places, otherwise it is excellent for pigs, chickens or calves. These suggestions apply about as well to one season of the year as to another. If observed they will greatly enhance the profits of all who milk cows.—-The Epitomist.

HORSE BREEDING. With the revival of horse breeding as a profitable industry the fact must be recognized that there has come a complete revolution in this business. The old methods will no longer prove profitable. We must raise for profit distinct types of horses for the market, and not generally all round useful horses. We must define In «ur minds

the different types of horses In demand, and then work toward the production of the best specimens of one or more of these types. These types, briefly stated, are the road, carriage and coach horse, the cah horse, the draft horse, and the American trotter or road horse One of these types should be selected jn breeding horses for market, and the peculiar characteristics of each one studied and carefully understood. Breeding for a specific class is the only kind that pays to-day. The man who oreeds on the old lines Is doomed to failures. His horses will bring so much less in the market that there will be no margin left for profits. One reason why horses became a drug in the market ten years ago was because farmers and breeders J produced a surplus of horses which had no particular characteristics. They were not specially good in any line. Then a demand slowly grew up for horses which would excel in one particular class, and this steaidly increased until to-day it has become universal. The evolution in breeding has thus made it necessary for the farmer and breeder to know his partictilar class of horses thoroughly. Promiscuous breeding does not pay, but special class or type breeding does. Every horse must be bred for a particular purpose, and if at the beginning the animal does not promise any good points for a particular purpose, the sooner you can dispose of him the better. The small horse, and the horse of mixed virtues, has passed forever, and his day will never return. Breed the large horse that is useful for particular lines on hauling, the road or coach horse which can travel well with a fair load, or the trotter which can make speed. In one of these classes every horse must excel or he cannot bring the high market prices offered. Premiums are daily offered for the best animals of any class. —C. L. Petters in American Cultivator.

PIGS AND COWS. The dairyman of today is of necessity a breeder of swine. The two go together so thoroughly that it would be a waste of good material and opportunity to neglect either. There can be no doubt that nature intended that the pigs should be the companion of the cows in the clover fields. But more than that, the swine should be fed on the skim milk that comes from the dairy. Pigs and shoats will thrive on this skim milk as on nothing else. The milk fed in this way will yield a larger profit than if sold in the ordinary market, w r here only a few cents a quart can be obtained, and often not that. The waste of time and material in trying to find a good market for skim milk is the most discouraging feature of the dairy business. Many a man has been induced to leave the business entirely on account of this. After settling up his accounts for the year he has found tnat he was actually no gainer for the year’s work. The only actual sure way of making money is to have a well organized dairy and pig farm. Enough of the latter should be kept at all times to consume the skim milk. By rapid growing and selling, turning the money over quickly, a good profit can be made for every quart of skim milk fed. Some keep their pigs too long. It is better to sell them as young pigs than to wait until they are so fat that few want them. A good healthy pig, with plenty of lean and fat on his sides, will usually sell better than the excessively fat hog. The clover and grass will always help to make the pig grow, and on a diet of good clover and plenty of skim milk there is no danger of hog cholera or other swine diseases in the hottest of weather. Corn and dry grain are the breeders of disease and illness in hogs during the summer. The hog cholera is undoubtedly the produce of overheated blood, superinduced by heavy corn and grain feeding. We cannot stamp out the disease until we change the diet. Let that be skim milk and green clover and grass from June 1 until the end of September, and any man can raise as fine a flock of clean, healthy swine as any marketman could ask for. And the market for such animals is always ready, with prices far more constant than for most farm products.—A. B. Barrett, in Indiana Farmer.

FARM HINTS. Keep all the dairy utensils spotlessly clean. Use common clover as a green soiling crop; it makes butter. The calf has a sensitive stomach. Beware of wrong feeding or overfeeding. The market demands the “long sided" pigs, not the short, “dumpy" kind. Do not permit man, boy or dog to hurry the cows to and from the pasture. Irregular feeding and milk at wrong temperature may cause scours in calves. Ewes that prove poor mothers, or refuse their own lambs, might as well go to the butcher. Make a free use of whitewash. It protects wood, and is a good disinfectant in all damp places. Keep the lambs growing from the start. If fat, sell them when they weigh thirty to fifty pounds. Give no sour and decayed vegetables even to hogs. Because they will eat such stuff is no sign that they will flourish on it. Feed the dairy calf to insure steady growth, Sour milk, sour palls, cold milk, Irregular feeding—these mean digestive troubles. Speak quietly to men and animals. Do not permit any loud or boisterous talking on your premises. Loud talk makes animals nervous and sanative as well as harsher treatment.—Now York Tribune Farmer.

POLITICS OF THE DAY

Roosevelt Kvades the laane. Mr. Roosevelt’s address at Arlington cemetery was an elaborate defense of the army, full of assumed indignation and wrath. Its fatal weakness lay in the assumption that the army needed defense—the assumption that anybody whose utterances are deserving of notice has attacked the army as such. Individual soldiers and their conduct have been denounced, and the President admits that they richly deserve denunciation; the army as a whole has not been denounced, nor even the army in the Philippines, as Mr. Roosevelt assumes that It has been. What has been denounced is the policy of the Republican administration which has made war necessary, with all the cruelty and misery which are the inevitable attendants of war. Criticism of Individual officers and men has been merely Incidental to the condemnation of the policy which forced them to wage war. This fact Mr. Roosevelt wholly ignores. He assumes that war was unavoidable, which is not true, as there is the best reason for believing. All the facts set forth in the earlier official reports show that the Filipinos were disposed to receive us with open arms as their deliverers from Spanish tyranny, just as we were the deliverers of the Cubans. Officers of our navy traveled extensively over the island when, outside of Manila, it was under no other control than that of the Filipinos, and everywhere they were received with the greatest hospitality and assisted In the accomplishment of their mission of observation.

There was no sign of hostility until the Filipino leaders found out that it was not the intention of the Republican administration to treat them as it had ehgaged to treat the Cubans, and when after putting forth every effort to that end they utterly failed to secure from the representatives of the administration in the islands any sort of assurance as to the political future of their archipelago. There is not the least reason in the world to doubt that if proper assurances had been given to the auGiorlzed representatives of the people, even though they had been less complete than those which had been given to Cuba, our representatives would have met with no more resistance in Luzon, or in any part of the archipelago under Tagalog influence, than was encountered in Cuba. The policy which made enemies of nil the Christians of the islands and left us only pagans and Mohammedans for friends (as Governor Taft testified before the Senate committee) plunged us into war. But for that we would never have needed a large army In the islands, and not a hostile gun would have been fired. It Is that belligerent and imperial policy, and not the army which has been compelled to carry It Into effect to the best of Its ability, that Is condemned by all the lovers of liberty and peace who understand the situation. The cruelty of which complaint has been made Is only a necessary incident of that wretched and wicked policy. That is the truth of the matter, and It is Idle for Mr. Roosevelt to attempt to dodge or conceal the Issue.—Chicago Chronicle.

Ohio Republicans on Trusts. The Republican politicians of Ohio must suppose that the people never think for themselves or that they have very short memories. The Republican convention of that State adopted the following resolution as a part of its platform; “All combinations that stifle competition, control prices, limit production or unduly Increase profits or values, and especially when they raise the prices of the necessaries of life, are opposed to public policy and should be repressed with a strong hand.” For the last five or six years the Republicans of Ohio hnve exercised almost controlling power In establishing national policies. They have had the President, the most influential member of the Senate, who is also chairman of the Republican National Committee, and the leading delegation In the lower house of Congress. What have they done toward repressing "with a strong hand” the “combinations that stifle competition, control prices, limit production, or unduly increase profits or values?” What have they done to repress combinations which especially “raise the price of tlie necessaries of life?” Absolutely, nothing! It Is all humbug and false pretense.

Hanna In Absolute Control. If outside Republicans have been in doubt as to whether Senator Hanna controls the Republican pnrty iu Ohio tfipy are respectfully referred to the doings of yesterday’s State convention for evidence to dissipate their doubts. The convention was “Hanna’s own." So is tile pnrty In the State. Now, If Ohio In November ratifies the work of the convention In May a good start will have been made for the 1004 race. "Hanna’s own” will go to the national convention with the order, “Teddy, go ’way back and sit down!” The rough rider may-buck and rear, but it is Senator Hanna’s pride that

he “gets what he goes for.” He has not said that he is going for the presidential nomination—yet. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our American Democracy. , Senator Bailey’s offered amendment to the army bill was beaten by a vote of 15 to 25. Nevertheless the amendment expressed the Democratic spirit of the people of this republic. Senator Bailey’s amendment provided that no part of the army appropriation should be expended In defraying the expenses of any one attending upon the coronation of a hereditary ruler. If we send a special embassy, military and civil, to the coronation of King Edward of England, Senator Bailey argued, as the American has been arguing ever since the kowtowing expedition to England has been proposed, we shall be bound to send a special embassy to the coronation of every monarch hereafter to be crowned, or else affront the nation from which we withhold the attention. The monarchies of Europe send no special embassies over to us to participate In the Inauguration of our Presidents. The right of Mr. Roosevelt to appoint any ambassador, special or other, without the consent of the Senate, was questioned by a number of Senators. Mr. Bailey, falling to amend the army bill, has offered a resolution declaring It contrary to the policy of the United States to accredit to any foreign government an ambassador specially to represent the United States at the coronation of any hereditary monarch. That is sound American doctrine. It Is good, plain, democratic common sense.

It is evident that we are not to bo spared the inconsistent absurdity of Mr.Whltelaw Reid in white satin kneebreeches making obeisance to the British throne, but at least the American Congress ought to Insist that the spectacle shall not be made a precedent.— Chicago American. Little Pith in the Platform. Any one who looked for light and leading to the Ohio Republican platform is likely to be disappointed. It in pre-eminently a platform that points with pride. It is proud of everything the Republican party has done, including prosperity, which is entirely its doing, or the doing of Ohio men In particular. It Is In favor of everything that everybody wants and Is opposed to all those evil things that nobody approves, but It Is very careful not to commit Itself to any definite opinion upon details. To the disinterested reader the platform appears a highly successful effort to say nothing in particular in a way to give no offense—Philadelphia Times.

Our Doty in the Philippines. What we did in Cuba was to announce formally by act of Congress that we would leave the government and control of the Island to Its people so soon ns a government should have been established under certain specified conditions. We ought to be equally definite and explicit in the case of the Philippines. The Cubans knew just what we wanted of them. The Filipinos do not yet know what we want, because Congress has never told them. Let us give our word to them as we gave It to the Cubans.—New York Evening Post.

Hoar's Plea for Humanity. Senator Hoar’s masterly appeal for humanity in the Philippines debate can only be answered by bis Republican associates with a plea for national selfishness and brutality. His speech rings with real patriotism ns Foraker’s rings with the false. And we believe that the sentiments expressed by the eloquent sage from Massachusetts are tl>7se of the great majority of the Amerienn people. The Republican men on horseback will do well to heed this warning from one who has devoted his life to that party.—Toledo Bee. Petty KKotiam of the President. The strenuous eommnuder-in-chief by bis repeated snubbing of General Miles, as well as by his attempted humiliation of Admiral Dewey and Admiral Schley, will not popularize himself with the country. His offensive and unjustifiable course toward the brave General and the distinguished Admirals is an evidence of a petty spirit of egotism and audacity which is not approved by the American people.—Syracuse Telegram.
