As each variety was planted, the_name was placed on a small marker, as s the custom with gardeners. ’ : in aparticularly choice location the con“tents ot a packet were laboriously dropped, one by one, until the row was filled and _the earth nicely smoothed -over it.

NIVERSAL suffrage is right in theory, but suffrage for ' women property holders is practical and should be granty ed. That is no more than right and justice and has == worked to adv‘amage in other states. Men cannot say e that thev have made so great a success of municipal and - Ix state governments' that the women are not needed. The 1? intense ignorance regarding our local affairs can be eradQY (PP icated by the women. The study of civics in this con:- » B munity is needed. Its duty should commence in the kindL Rk ergarten, instead of in the eighth grade, when many of =2 [ the future voters have deserted the schoolhouses for R mxd shops and stores. : ' We have spent millions of dollars for school buildings and 'milliogs more for maintenance in order to. get good citizenship, yet we do not commence to teach citizenship directly in the school until a large per cent of the pupils have decided to go to work. Most men have some information regarding the progress of thie Japanese army in Carea and the probabilities of several international conflicts, but few know anything of what is happeriing around the corner from his home. He is too busy to ascertain. Every breakfast tabfe in the-large cities should be made a school of civics.

Mahy Breeds Are Employed in the Sport, But the Spaniel Is the Best. :

Whether the young sportsma’n elects to shoot over dogs or not, hd should most. certainly -be accompayied by some member of the canine race accomplished'in the art and craft of rescuing wounded or dead birds from - places inaccessible to his master, says ‘Blackwood’s. The varieties of idog that will do this are so-many that it is im- - possible to advise definitely wpon any particular species. It may, however, be said that the actual retriéver, the ‘big -black intelligent fellow| of the coverts, is perhaps the worst of all for the purposes of the snipe shooter. Besides, it offends ome’s sense of proportion to see an insignificant little bird _hanging" from the enormous jaws of Don, even if the brown eyes above aré ~absolutely the wisest and most beautiful of any that beam from the head " of created beast. S

Nothing can beat a spaniel for thix work, if (and it is an important if) one can be obtained that does not chase, that will keep to heel, that does .not whine or yelp with excitenfent, that does not maul the game about when retrieving it, or that will not devour it altogether when out of sight of his master! Given a good spaniel, with few or none of these deficiencies, you have a hardy, absolutely' untirable, little fellow who can go anywhere, who simply revels in cold and wet so long as the halts are not over long, and to whom rough sport with the gun is a perfect monpmania—who possesses, besides, th= most delightfully companionable qualities when both he and gun are off duty for awhile.

SHOOT AT OLD MONITORS. Possibilities of Modern Guns to Bé Tried Upon One-Time Great : W.arships. . , Following closely in the lead set by Great Britain, the United 3tates government hag decided to use some of the oldest vessels for targer practice; for the driiling and experience of the gunners and officers on our mcdern war vessels, says the Brooklyn Eagle. The first vessel to be put to this use is the clvil war monitor, thé Montauk. Her keel was laid “in 1862 by .John Ericsson, of Brooklyn. She is of 1,873 tons displacement, 200 feer long and 46 feet in beam. At present the is out of commission, in the League Island navy yard: It is propcsed to tow, her to the Brooklyn navy yard,® and put -her- through such repairs and changes as will better prepare her for the battering she is' to undergo. It is the same thing as the British goyernment has' been doing for some years, and which has occasioned no little comment. It will give the men-of-war practice in firing at shooting targets, and, further, and primarily, it will allow of 'ﬂbservations to be made regarding the effect of modern ordnance. ' v

Upbn reaching the Brooklyn navy yard, shé wiil be made to look as muych like a .cruiser~ as possible. Armor will be placed on her, as heavy as she will carry, and then she will be taken probably up in the sound and filled full of holes, both above and below. The light and rapid-fire guns will be used from above; the torpedo tubes will send their sneaking projectiles into her hull, and the whole .operation will be watched and recorded, for the betterment of the navy’s guns and gunnery. The shooting will be done in as shallow water as possible, and when she sinks: the holes will be patched, and she will be put through the same operation over and over again, until she falls to .pieces. - The old monitor is one of the first of this %lass of vessels. She has undergone many engagements. Torpedoes ‘have been fired at her and heavy ordnance has directed its missiles at her single turret, but she still floats. If the plan proves feasible, the other seven monitors now lying out of commission in the League Island navy vard will in. all probability be used for the same purpose. GLOVES N EARLY DAYS. Time Was When the Hand-Covering Was Made to Represent the Man. In the early days everything was not regulated for the people, as it is now, by the government and the law courts. Europe was still young then, and people had rough-and-ready ' means o¢f dealing - with one: another, of buying and selling or giving goods and property, and settling disputes. A glove. as it was very close indeed to a man's hand, came in:course of time to be looked upcn as taking the place of the hand itself, and, as I have said, writes Mary Dawson, in “The Story of the Glove,” in St. Nicholas, it sometimes ook the man’s place and was made to kgl)resent him. .

For example: 'To cpen a fair it was necessary then to-have thé ¢onsent and proiection of the great lord in whosc country it was going to be held. Thoze who wished to open the fair wonid come to the nobleman and petition him to be present. He might be very busy or, bored at the idea of having to go, yet he would know that it must be opened or his people would be discontented. So he would say to the leaders of the people: “No, my trusty fellows; I can’t ‘open the fdir in person, but I will send my glove to de it. You all know my g]ov3 ;Nobody has one like it in the country. It is the one my lady mother embroidered for me in colored silks and silver wire, and it Las a deep violet fringe. ,You can hang it above the entrance of your fair grounds as a sign that you are acting with my permission. If anyone diaputes your right or touches his maater’s glove, I will attend to him, that's all.” So the glove would travel in state to open the fair. : Means to an End. “Mad? 1 should say so! - [ expected a cup of hot coffee to warm me up, and when I got it'it was stone cold.” “Then it scemed to produce the desired effect, after all.

Among the men whose names will live as long as civilization exists is that of John L. Macadam, the road builder. Not only has lis name become a part of the English language, but the kind of road which he built has been adopted by all civilized nations. The ancient Romans built stone roads, but they were very different and vastly more expensive than the macadam roads of modern times. They built a substantial foundation of rock, sometimes ceveral feet in depth and then covered it with aspavement of large flat stones. 'This kind of road will outiast any other. . Indeed some parts of the Appian way, the building of which was begun three centuries before Christ, are still in use, and in good repair. It remained for John L. Macadam, a modern Englishman, to prove that the great expenditure of .time and money required in the building of the old Roman roads was largely wasted." He demonstrated that a «+mooth hard enduring road could be built of crushed sfone a few inches in depth properly spread ahnd comy,{ted on a foundation of earth. o

The main points in successfyl macadam road building are (1) Ahat the foundation be properly constructed and drained; (2) that the surface of thg road be slightly curved s¢/as to shed water; (3) that the syfface of the finished road be made hafrd and smooth and as nearly waterproof as possible. The last of these qualities is secured by spreading on the stone in layers, beginning with a layer of the largest fragments and finishing with a layer - . N . Ao Y (/?;45 - R I G .

Althiough the expense of building macadam roads is trifling compared with- that of constructing a stonepaved road like that of the Roman emperor, Appius Claudius, it is still so great as to form the principal obstacle to macadamizing modern highways. *The cost, of course, depends largely on the ease with which suitable stone may be secured. Where the material has to Ye transported by rail for a considerable distance the cost is greatly increased. Some of the' Massachussetts highways have cost $B,OOO to $lO,OOO a mile; while in some ;other states good macadam roads have been built for $1,500 to $3,000 rer mile. - Some friends of the good " roads movement hesitate to join in the de--mand for national aid because they are appalled by the.enormous expense involved in macadamizing the entire road mileage of the courftry. Such persons are laboring under a mistake. The, national aid bills now before congress do not propose to construct any particular kind of road. They simply propose to “improve the public roads,” and provide for “investigations and experiments to determine the best kinds of road material and the best methods of road building.” In a recent articie Representative Brownlow says:

“My own individual opinion is that some of the principal thoroughfares ought to be macadamized. Well informed road experts have estimated that if one-tenth of the road mileage of the country were macadamized and the. other nine-tenths were improved in other and cheaper ways, using the best local‘ﬁlaterials available, the cost of hauling the farm products of the United States to market would be reduced one-half.”

If this estimate is correct, the saving to the farmers would be enormous, and would. in a few years be sufficient to cover the entire expense of making the improvements. Besides lessening the cost of hauling, good roads will bring the people of the rural districts pleasures and benefits which can not be measured in money.Bacterial Content of Cheese. - In a report from the Ontario Experiment station on a study of the bacterial content of cheese are presented figures that indieate the amount of work these little organisms do in the predigesting of this food product. According tosthis report the number -of bacteria present are usually largest when the cheese is but a day or‘two old. The products de‘veloped by the germs, being detrimental to their own existence, cause them gradually to deminish in number. The number of germs found in one sample only two days old was 17,854,447,500 per ounce of cheese. : o % The Profitable Dairy Cow. ‘With all our wisdom and skill in breeding, no one has yet produced a cow that will make as much milk from discomfort as she will from comfort. An animal of extreme hardiness may be produced; but good, paying cows are not built on’ those lines. They are an elaboration,of the fittest; not specimens of animal hardihood.

SETTING THE FRUIT TREES. How an Orchard of Any Kind May Be ‘Made to Look Attractive as Well as Thrifty. > Young orchards should be set so the trees may be in exact rows. It requires little more work than the slipshod methods too often used; An. orchard in which-the trees are accurately set is a joy forever, while one in which they are set in a haphazard fashion is an eyesgre. :

The contention that sighting the trees themselves will not give perfectly straight rows is.also sound. I can scarcely conceive of the ordinary farm hand, or even an extraordinary one, getting under a “light tripod” and digo . 2 \“ l/ // 4 g / ; .

It might be possible if the tripod, were so large as to give ample room for the operation of digging. In such a case .it would be too unweildy to move easily. . " Lowering a weight down ‘b'y the side of the trunk to ascertain when the tree is in the right place is likely to prove somewhat tedious if' there are any branches on the tree to interfere. The accorypanying diagram shows what has proved to be a most satisfactory device for getting the tree exactly where the stalie originally stood. It consists of a- board perhaps six feet long with a hole in either end and a deep notch in the middle. i - The land in which the trees are to be planted is first laid off in rows with a small stake where each- tree is to stand. The board just described is placed on the ground so that the notch fits over the stake. A small stake is driven through each of the holes in the ends of the board. The board is removed an 4 the hole dug for tlﬂle/t«r‘ee. ‘While this is being done the measuring'boar(l may be used to set the guide stakes for other holes. When everything is ready to set the tree, put the board back in place agaipn, place the tree in the hole so that it fits in the notch, and fill in the soil. The result will be that the tree stands just where the original stake did. If planting is being done on a large scale, there may bße a half dozen or more of the measuring boards. If they are all of the same dimensions it will make no difference whether or not the same one is used in setting the tree that was used when the guide stakes were set.—F. C. Sears, in Grange Judd Farmer. ; ATTRACTIVE FARM LAWNS. There Is No Reason Why Every Door Yard in the Land Should Not Be Deautified.

Nothing ‘so beautifies a dwelling as to be set in the center of a well kept lawn. . There is no reason why the farmer and his family should not enjoy the possession of an attractive door yvard, ‘since every facility is at hand for grading, planting and keeping a pretty lawn. The dwelling should, if ‘possible, be located on a slightly elevated knoll, but often the site has already been selected and the building erected in which case it may be necessary to grade to the desired elevation. One can not endure a low sloppy door vard, hence the ground immediately around the house should be higher than at the outer edge of the yard. Early spring is the best time to sow the grass seed. Kentucky blue grass is a general favorite for lawns. This should be 1 very thickly sown to produce a mat tbe first - seagon. If, however, one succeeds in getting a fair,. even stand, he need have no concern regarding the lack of density as this grass thickens up from vear to year. In arranging the lawn, have very few shrubs, cr trees in the center. . There should be planted at the outer edge, preferably at the rear and sides of the building. Do not o‘a)scure the view from the roadway. 1f there are unsightly buildings a screen of vines run on a wire trellis ‘will be found effectual in hiding them from the occupants of the dwelling as well as from passers-by. A very pretty effect may be had by- planting a few beds of profuse blocmers of dif ferent colors very near the house, af the ends or side of the porch or around the bay window. Provision may be made to have these beds in bloom from early spring to late autumn, by using bulbs fer early spring blooming, annuals for summer, and chrysanthemums, cosmos and other .autumn blooming plants. Their beauty is enhanéed by the greenery about them.— C. B.:Barrett, in Epitomist. Best Mulch: for Grape Vines. Fof grape viffes the best mulch and manure I havé}ever tried is old chip manure, chips jand all. 1 pile them around my vﬁies before the ground is thawed out, making the pile three or four inches'deep and letting it lie there until it gets thoroughly worked away by rain and other causes. It enriches, the ground :and also holds moisture, in. addition to keeping the ground from thawing out early. T keep the vines well pruned and after the fruit is about half grown I cut part of the leaves and some of the young shoots off to keep them from mildewing. I raise nothing but Concord and by this .process I have obtained a good crop every season for the last fifteen years.—A. J. Wright, in Epitomist. b " Ditching the Country Road. In my travels, I notice that often when a side ditch is made, it is put on the lower side of the road instead of on the upper side, as it-should be, to catch the water and keep it off the roadbed. The best rule, however, i{s to have a gcoc ditch on each side the entire length oi the road.—J. H. Cain, in Farm and Home.

GOSSIP OF GOTHAM. The manager of a “health féod" restaurant in New York city gives conspicuous display to this sign: “Nothing that ever squealed is served here.” That is his novel way of announcing that pork is not served there in ary form. This reversion to the Mosaic law against eating the flesh of beasts that do not “split the hoof and chew the cud” is becoming quite popular in the eastern metropolis. Most of the department stores in New York now have in their regular employ a number of what are known as “shoppers.” The women engaged for this work must dress well, be of distinguished appearance and must be thoroughly familiar with nearly all the things sold in department stores. Her work'is to go from store to store and find out the prices of rivals. She must keep her eye alert for new wrinkles practiced to allure trade.

Almost any price could be obtained for an up-to-date photograph of Miss Helen Gould or of John D. Rockefeller. It is next to impossible to secure an interview froam either of them. It is declared that Mr. Rackefeller has not been interviewed, photographed or snapshoted in the last five years. A number of rather weird sketches of the king of all the magnates have been published, but most of them are caricatures. Nearly all the pictures labei: ed- “John D. Rockefeller” were taken vears ago, many of them being 25 years old. A+ dealer -in pictures of celebrities said the othier day that he would par $3OO for a zood photo taken within the last year. ‘ WAY STATIONS.

The government of Peru will’ guarantee the construction of a raiiway {rom the Pacific to a navizable branch ¢f the Amazon. . ) A Dbill has been introduced in the New York legislature looking toward the removal of all hedge fences along railway tracks, on the ground that such fences do a considerable angount of harm by banking up snow, while no practical good is derived from them. The Transsiberian railway has at no time since it was opencd been able to handle all the freight offered it. Not being standard gauge. rolling stock ready made cannot be bought in other countries. Its mileage is about the same as that of the Pennsylvania system. PRSPPI ¢ WESTERN CANADA HAS AN - EXCELLENT CLIMATEThe Saskatchewan Valley Very High-

ly Favored. @

An interesting, feature of Western Capada is its climate. Those who have made a study of.it speak highly of it. The Canadian Government Agents are sending out an Atlas, and at the same time giving valuable information concerning railway rates, etc., to those interested in the country. As has been said, the climate is excellent. The elevation of this part of Canada is :about 1,800 feet above ihe sea, about twice that of the average for Minnesota. It is a very desirable altitude. The country has a very equable climate, taking the seasons through. The winters are bright and the summers are pleasantly warm. R. F. Stupart, director of the meteorological service for Canadas says: ) “The salient features of the climate “of 'the Canadian northwest territories ‘‘are ‘a clear, bracing atmosphere dur“ing the greater part of the year, and “a medium rainfall and snowfall. The “mean temperature for July at Winni“peg is 66, and Prince Albert 62. The “former temperature is higher than.at “‘any part of England, and the latter “is very similar to that found in many “parts of the southern c%nntries.” At Prince Albert the average daily maximum in July is 76 and the minimum 48. Owing to this high day temperature with much sunshine, the crops come to maturity quickly. , Moisture is ample in ‘the Saskatchewan valley, bé¢ing about 18 inches annually. It is notable that about 75 per cent. of the moisture falls during the crop months. © Thus, Western Canada gets.as much moisture 'when it is needed and with several hours more sunshine daily than land further south gets during the growing season, it is not difficult to understand why crops mature quickli'a and yieid bountifully.

. «Winter ends quickly, sowing is done ‘during April and sometimes in March. Harvest comes in August, about the middle. Cyclones, blizzards, dust and sand storms are uynknown. Sl S e e Kangaroo farming is to become an established institution in Australia.
