HOME AND THE FARM, j A DEPARTMENT MADE UP FOR OUR RURAL FRIENDS. The Greatest Executive Ability Is Needed on the Farm-Manurial Value of Soot— j Use Common Sense in Dairying — Housekeeping Notes. Executive Ability on the Farm. We hear much about the necessity for executive ability, by which is meant the great good sense that en- ■ ables some men not only to do more elective work than others, but to get more or better work out of those ; they employ. It is not that these men are always or generally stronger : than others. It is because they have > the faculty of directing their blows so । 1 that every one teds. A poor work- | man in any business generally uses j : more muscle to do physical work, or i < if it be mental, he fags his train more I < over it than does the skilled work-'] man able to use muscle and brain to i» the best advantage. Probably the । < useof labor-saving ini; iements worked । by horse or steam power has lessened i the demand for i hysical strength on i the farm, as it has in other avoca- j tions, says the American Cults va- j tor. Fifty years ago expert mowers and cradiers led in the hay and harvest field. Now the farmer ■ hit lies his team to mower or liar- ' vester and apparently the skilled < workman has lost his job. But it is only apparently. More skill is re- i quired to manage this labor-saving s machinery. If the farmer thinks i that less executive ability is ne ded ' in farming he is very much mistaken. , < It is, indeed, a' much more compli- I i cated faculty than is often thought, . ■ and is far more largely m nt al than a physical qualification. Given a moderate degree of physical strength, and the. man with active, intelligent mind will do more manuel labor than one who is dull or stupid. He may not work harder. What he does do will count. On the farm the important points in executive ability arc not to attempt, too much, and to make cue allowances for rainy weather and other conditions when work is not i possible. Failing in these the farmer i gets farther and farther behind. He soon realizes that “a stern chase is a ; long chase. ■’ Once let weeds insects, fungus, blights, or other enemies get the start, and though the work be j done never so thorcfughly afterward, I the result is never quite the same it might have been, nor does it pay so well. The ability to calculate rightly : is therefore the very first point in true executive ability. The second is like unto it. and that is the realiza- j tion that much work on the farm j must be clone by employees, and : practically leaving all to them to do 1 can ; e c ] one Rs we u py the hired ; help as by e W [,'.cver himself We relieve thTTt , rcuu . than ten hours ^C&mcnta re not looked after as they should be Some of the most successful farmers we know have done very little manuel labor th mselves. ; Not at all because they were afraid ol work or too dainty to soil th ir hands, but because th ir time was bette occupied in seeing that everything was kept going as it should be. If the farmer be so occupied by other business that he cannot do it himself. he should employ a so eman to j do it tor him. AL this ges to show that the greatest executive ability ineeded on the fa; m. The man who succeeds ou the farm can with equal expenditure of thought ami muscle, succeed in almost anything else. Celery and Late Cabbage. It is easy for any farmer to grow l oth cabbage and celery for late crop in the open air. The early spring planting has to be started in a hotbed, but for late crop the only advantage the hot-bed gives is in furnishing a richer seed bed than can usually be obtained early in the spring. After making the seed bed as rich as possible with what rotted manure can be worked hit « the soil it will still pay to add nitrate of soda Both cabbage and celery are gross feeders, and success in planting either depends on getting the most vigorous early growth possible. Late in the season, when the larger part of their growth is made, all rich soils have a large supply of nitrogen in form avail- j able for the roots to use. How Milk Is Analyzed. The chemical analyses of milk is net complicated nor difficult. . A small dish is accuratolv weigh- <1 and the w Igliu n ted. Into it is now introduced a small portion of milk, and both are again weighed. By subtracting the weight of the dish from the weight of. both, the weight of the milk is found and carefullyrrecorded. ; The dish is placed over a.steam jet. ; and the water of the milk c iporated. leaving a residue. It is this residue ! which passes under thg name of “sol- ; id-.” A last weighing of the dish : with the milk residue, less the weight of the dish, gives the solids, and by a single calculation the percentage is found. The solids of milk have been found by innumerable analysis, says the Maine Farmer, to average about thirteen per cent., and while the fat varies jn th milk from different cows, the solids left are extracting the fat is a very constant quantity, hardly ever falling below nine per cent. This gives the chemist a pos-i itive basis for his calculations and enables him to state with great certainty whether or not the milk has been watered. The fat or oil in milk is determined by dissolving it by means outlier out of total solids, the residue remaining after the operation being termed “solids not fat.” The averag ■ fat or oil found in cow's milk . is three per cent., and any amount!

less than this is commonly taken as showing that the milk has been ; skimmed. If analysis shows a decrease of fat, it is inferred that the • milk has been watered, while if the tat only is low, that the milk has been skimmed. The Young Chicken's Food. As to what is the best food for the newly hatched chicken, we will not । claim to have found. There are so many articles of food suitable for a | chicken that no breeder or fancier : need feel alarmed if be fails to have at hand the exact food advised by writers on this subject. The following is a list of foods suitable for the youngest peepe s: Milk, rolled or pinched oatmeal, cracker crumbs, i stale bread, hominy, cracked wheat, ■ rice, or corn, millet, wheat bran, ; cornmeal. All the grain foods aie best fed dry. Sloppy food should । always be avoided, especially in very cold and very warm weather. Our j own method of feeding ebb ks for the ' past ten years, is to mix one-third cornmeal, one-third ground oats and one-third wheat bran by measure. Make this into a dough and bake it. Grind the bread into small granular lumps and fed dry. We dilute tresh milk with one-half its bulk of boiling I water and place in a self-feeding ] fountain. This makes the best drink i for young chickens we ever tried. As ! soon as chickens are one week old, ! cracked corn, wheat, and rice make - a good combination, and where ' chickens run at large nothing more n*d be added. When confined in small runs fresh cut beef I ones should , be fed two or three times a week. I The above are simple directions and can be modified to suit the conven- i ience of the poultryman. — Fancier’s Journal. French Terms I mm! in Cooking. Ragout—A rich, brown stew, with mushrooms, veget ables, etc. Piquante— a sauce of several flavors, acid predominating. Quenelles —Forcemeat with bread, 1 yolks of egg, highly seasoned, and formed with a spoon to an oval shape, then poached and-used cither as a dish by themselves or to garnish. Remoulade—A salad dressing dis- I ferine from mayonnaise in that the eggs arc hard and rubbed in a mortar with mustard, herbs, etc. Ilissolc — Rich mince of meat or tlsh ' rolled in thin pastry and fried. Roux—A cooking mixtureof butter ; । and flour for thickening soups. Salmi—A rich stew of game cut up and dressed when half roasted. Sauter—To toss meat, etc., over the fire in a little fat. Souffle—A very light. much- ' whipped-up pudding or omelet. >< ot For Use In Garden-. Soot has a considerable manur.al ; value, but it is worth more as manure for some vegetables because it repels i in-eefs and makes the ground warmer ter to use it in the form of a nitrate at once available than in coarse man- 1 ure, which must ferment, or nossibly j dry up just when the plant needs it: most. Soot and nitrate of soda or ! potash are an ideal fe.tilizer for the . garden. The soot, being <>ne of the j very b st absorbents. prevents loss of the nitrate which in (some soils is, easily washed away and lost. I Common Sen***. There is mu'h complaint, in England as well as in America that dairying doirt pay. The reason for this condition of affairs is a- patent there as here, and many so-called dairymen are guided by pred.uice more than reason. Just as soon as men select cows as they select other animals and machines, and then feed and handle them with half the discretion they feed and handle horses then, and not till then, will dairy become profitable.—Hoard’s Dairyman. John < hinamcn Oleite !. “I'nfortunately, I lost my laundry check,” said a woman the other day. “and tried very hard to compromise matters with John Chinaman, but he met my arguments with the curt amt business-like response, 'No tickee, no shirtee. ’ “1 came home and talked the matter over with that mother of mine. ‘Get a warrant and have the Chinee i arrested.’ was her pronunciamento. , “I didn’t quite enjoy the Jdea of ' appearing in court as complainant, with John Chinaman as defendant, so thought out a scheme. I ransacked the house for soiled linen, made up a huge bundle and again appeared before the alrucnd-eycd heathen. i “He frowned as he looked sideways at me, tail he looked again and his broad face grew broader as he took on a cargo of smiles. “ ‘More washec?’ he said I “ ‘Yes, John, more wash, i “ ‘You findee tickee?’ “ -No, John.’ “ ‘Me lookee; come alternoon.’ “I went again in the afternoon, and there was my laundry; John had hunted it up without the assistance of his wonderful red ‘tickee.’ i “Music may have charms to soothe I a savage breast; 1 recommend a dose of soiled linen for bringing out the good points of a Chinaman s character.” —New York Recorder. j The Saler Ct ay. i Some one enthusiastically advocated a certain method of raising i money for the French Government. Turgot, at that time minister, dis- | posed of the subject shortly and vigor- ; ously. His judgm nt was known to ; be good, and little more was heard of j the tax in question after he wrote on I the memorial, “It would be safter to 1 execute the author than the project.” So many people tight the wind

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. AN INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE LESSON. SieSectlons of an Elevating Character— Wholesome Food for Thought — Studying the Scriptural Eerson Intelligently and Profitably. — I The Creator liemembered. The lesson for Sunday, June 11, may be found in Eccl. 12; 1-7, 13, 14. INTRODtrCTOKY. In the pressure occasioned by anniversary intelligence all the regular departments of the Standard must, for a fortnight, at least, seek particular i brevity. We, therefore, present but a ; few notes on the current lesson. It is, I however, a scripture that speaks its I own plain precepts, and in most forceful form. Perhaps no more beautiful j or suggestiv* passage is to be found in all Ged's word than that at the close ■ of Ecclesiastes, wherein appears the ! ever pathetic story of the body’s inev- , liable surrender to life’s exactions. A ; word significant in the ears of the old, it has its major lessons for the yovng, and the adn onition is so plainly on tha surface that he who runs may read. A, POINTS IN THE LESSON. jj' Something has been said as to what ! the wise son ought not to do. Now ' something as towhat he certainly ougWl i to do ' J "liemember” is the first word, and a ' good first word for the young. It is K • peculiar term, the root of the name । Zachariah (whom Jehovah remembers) A I It means more than call to mind; It signifies aLo keep in mind; and refers to ' continuity of regard. Take God into ■ the account. | “Bi member now Iby Creator,” would seem, indeed, th most natuial thing to , do. Mho should be most readily called 'to mind? Who should more easily be kept in thought than the one who । ' framed the vehicle of thought? And j ; gratitude should speak. The man who : forgets his Creator is even werse than the one who despises his parents. How fearful in the lace of God ami angels earth's indifference and neglect must seem! ('ne or two minor literary points need to be noticed in this first verse of the lesson. The word “Creator” is in the Heb ew Creators; -oggesting to some . the Trinity, < onsidered by others the mer«- pluralis majesticus plural of ma- : Jesty or dignity), it, in any case. Inti- i mates the greatness and power of that I Godhead that h is launt hed t s forth cn life's ocean, and to whom at last we I must make reverent return. For our . Creator is also our Judge. He remem-| i bers, whether we do or not. I'oes some one speak of "sowing your \ wild oats " 1 o so. if it is wild oats ' you wish to reap, for in the harvest of t : this life we gather what we sow. And ■ the picture here is of an old man who, having scattered such seed, has nothing > better to pluck but w< n! ness and misery in his old uge. What a dismal scene. . Barkened skies, perpetual cloud, weak ? ■ sen ; e, enfeebled energies, totterlngji limbs, voice gone, sight gone, appetit^i gone, fear and despair only left, at last} the dreaded but indubitable dissolution —who would desire such an emptyX miserable old age as this? It is th^ , certain portion of those who sow thelrt J wIMt-ats insteadof good graui. higher kind of living. But as regards? what the mere flesh has to suffer, here* I is a w< mlerfuily true and vivb; p rtrayal. i j Shall the tiemblinz keepers of ihc house" re;resent the hands, the“strong men that bow themselves" the legs, ! the few grindirs” the teeth, the daughters of music, the vocal chords? Hew ignifieant of the decay <>f old age, <>r shall the almond tree' suggest the gray head, and the thin, jointed "grass* l.o; p> r.

It is the message of death and decay written ii. aa our members. HINTS AND ILLtSIKAIONS. A lesson for the young; a lessen, hovvi ver, wr eh the old <an best deI liver. The < hapte;- which precedes has been telling some cf the things which it is best fur youth to avoid; this chapI ter turns fro r. the negative to the positive, and enjoins ^ome thmgs which it would be wise for the young to cultivate. Suppose ihe class be turned mto . an experience meeting, and the older I people intimate what they would like i to do had they life to live over again. ; Or, let the teacher out of his own ex- ■ perience and observation suggest the j principles of a life well lived. It is a ! time for those beginning life to listen, , to listen and ponder. , There are no contrasts like those of , the extremes of life. The. contrast be- ; tween a Christian young- m. n and worldly young man is distinct. LuW^ is not more n arked than th' c uitr^t 1 , twe n an old man who ha ■ a iiop^ 'n Cod and the one who has not. 1 used to m e two m ighbors. l otii old and living adjacent to each other, they were as fur apart in spirit and temper |as the poles. One looking gloomily ! forward to nothing beyond this life; the other had a face shining with the glowing intimations of immortality. "Lord, let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his. ” "I wouldn’t be what you are,” said a wild young man to one who had recently given his heart to the Lord, “for 1 the world.' But how about two worlds? I Yes, and how about the present world i when the evil days come, and infirmity 1 | and old age? Have you considered the : end? Have you taken it all into consideration? Are you wise? Bemember God. Get Ged’s help for all of life’s demands. You will need It, ree l it all. ‘ Your hand, sire, first, that hand of conquest!” said the young officer to Wellington when the latter bade him to ride on a hazardous errand across the field of battle. Bemember God’s hand. Get the grip of it before ■ you start. Some time you will, like ' Joseph, want the arms (fingers) of your hands to be “made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob.” Be on , God’s side, the winning si le.

A Harvest Ci lebration. Tins is the great CoLimbian Year and it is peculiarly fit that in the commemoration of Columbus’ great discovery we pauss to pay due tribute to ! the great food product of the New World—the golden maize—of which there was never a kernel in the world ! until carried from these shores. In ages past it w as th i food < f the wandering tiibes of the North as well as of the ] Aztecs and Incas of the- South and the object of their thanksgivings and fesI < W A tivities. With us, as with these primitive people, it is the most important grain product, nearly e ,nailing in value that of all the other cereals. It is the , foundation of the marvelous prosperity j and growth of the West. Then It is so ’ graceful and lends itself so effectively to decorative purposes. its h4i\es, its tassels, its cars, with their varied i tints, make it unrivalled for artistic use.

FIVE MEN KILLED IN A WRECK. Walter Main’s Circus Train Ditched Near Tyrone, Fa. Walter Main’s circus was wrecked on the Tyrone and Clearfield branch of the Pennsylvania Eailway at Vail Station, about five miles north of Tyrone. Five ' persons were killed and ten injured. : The circus was en route to Lewistown from Houtsda’e. The engineer lost i control of the train when going down । the mountain, and it jumyed the track when going at a speed of forty miles an hour, throwing fourteen cars over a thirty-foot embankment. The most of j : the animals are badly hurt and a num- : ber escaped to the wco Is, but were re- ■ ] captured. Those killed are: William Fock, Newport, Ky.; William Henry, I brakeman, of Tyrone; Frank Train, of I ■ Annapolis; Win. Multainey, Geneva, : I Ohio; John S. Layer, of Houtsdale, Pa. j ! The cars rushed down the grade at a j frightful speed, which increased every moment, while above the rattle and rush of the runaway train arose the shrill cries and roars of the cage! animals that were as frantic with fear of the impending disaster as their human attendants. The Hying train struck a I sharp curve. The cars leaped clear of the roadbed and with one tremendous crash the wreck was complete. The ; screams of the wounded men. the hidei ous cries of the Injured and terror- ; crazed animals, and the unearthly shrieks of the mangled horses arose in chorus from the pile of death and disaster. From the menagerie section the lions, tigers, leopards, hyenas, wild I cats, wolves and other dangerous ani- ' mals were liberated, and soon scattered ! to the cover of the woods in all directions. There were 175 persons with the circus and 173 horses. When the news I of the wreck reached Tyrone a relief i party with physicians and surgeons was promptly organized and sent by i special train to the scene. As soon as | the injured and killed were cared for ' the living started out to capture the es- | caped animals. The elephants made little trouble, but the members of the big eat family were out for liberty or blood. In the capture of some ot the smaller brutes several of the employes bad their clothing nearly stripped off, and were so clawed ayd bitten and bloody tiiat they looked to have been hurt more than they were. Several of the larger feline animals refused to be taken alive and, having tasked the fruits of freedom and of some of the farmers’ live stock in that vicinity, had to be killed. Engineer Steven Cresswell has disappeared. The killed and injured, ex- I cept Brian and Haverly, were helpers j about the circus and cook tents. The loss to Proprietor Main is Sl'^,ooo. CONGRESSIONAL CONTESTS. Seats that Will lie the Bone of Contention in This Congress. Tho parties contesting for seats in the Fifty-third Congress have been notified by the clerk of the house to be i resent in person or by attorney the sth of June, when he will open the sealed packets containing the evidence in such cases. The contesting parties may then i select what portions of the record in i their respective cases they desire to have printed. The closest < ontest. according to a Washington dispatch, is that of Charles E. Belknap, Republican, against George F. Bichardson. Democrat, of Michigan. Richardson beat his opponent ten votes in a total of a little over DM 00 vob-s ho was teateu by over s,i;qt). P. IL , Thrasher, populist, of Tennessee, i claims to have been elected,"' but I according to the returns B. A. Enloe, Democrat, receiv. d 118 majority. In the case of Lewis Stewart, Democrat, of Illlnoi-, against Robert A. Childs, republican, and h -Ider of the certificate of election, the difference ; is oniy 37 votes. John J. O’Neill, Demo- : crat, of St. Louis, was beaten by Chas. 1 . Joy, Republican, by 67 votes. W. B. English, Democrat, of California, I claims the scat of S. G. Hilborn, Republican, who had 33 majority. The seat of Janies E. Cobb, Democrat, l of Alabama, is contested by a ; i opuli-t, Martin W. Whatley, who was defeated by 1,859 majority. J. T. Good. Populist, of Virginia, contests the election of J. F. lip; es, Democrat, who got nearly 3,000 n ajority. Kansas furnishes a contest with H. L. Moore, Democratic Populist, against E. 11. Funston, Republican, whose majority was S 3, and North Carolina the case of A. 11. Williams, Populist and Prohibition candidate, against Thomas Settle, Republican, whose majority was 614. PASSENGERS IN A PANIC. Collision of Steamers in the Chicago Kivei : Causes Much Fright. Passengers on the World’s Fair steamer'll. G. Stewart escaped an impromptu lake bath and were given a goo 1 fright. Cn the trip from JacksoL Park to the State street bridge, the Ste wart met in the Chicago river the large freight steamer Buffalo. The latter tried its steel against the former's side. The Buffalo was making its way without a tug out into the lake, and as the Stewart rounded the pier at the Hfe-savlno station its captain saw the Uulialo Coming- tr-wanl him. IFo blew one bias' on the whistle as a signal to the captain of the Buffalo that he was going to cross the river and go up along the north bank. The captain of the Buffalo blew two whistles' a signal to the Stewart to stay on the south side of the river and not attempt io cross his bow. The Stewart did not reply to this ! signal, and neither vessel checked its i speed. The Stewart shot out into the river, and the Buffalo struck her on the port side, a little aft of amidships. The j passenger steamer careened until her sides were at an angle of forty-five degrees to the water. A panic ensued among her passengers. The Stewart finally wriggled out from under the : sharp stem of the Buffalo and righted herself. In a short time the docks j were reached and the passengers walked thankfully ashore. Net Siyplus in tli - Trca-urv. At the treasury department Tuesday I it was stated that since Jan. 1 $60,000,l 000 in gold has been exported to EuI rope and the export movement, instead of having abated, seems to have received a fresh impetus. Most of this gold was taken from the United States treasury, and practically all that is now being exported comes from the same i source. In that time the treasury de- ' partment has sustained a net loss of $25,354,143. The net to‘al gold in the i treasury Jan. 1, 1893, was $121,266,662, while to-day it is only $95,912,419 Since i ! May 1 the gold has been nearly always ■ । below the limit of the so-called gold reserve of $100,000,000,

HUSTLING HOOSIERS ITEMS GATHERED FROM OVER TH x STATE. An Interesting Summary of the More Important Doings of Our Neighbors—Weddings and Deaths—Crimes, Casualties and General Nevs Notes. Minor Mention. Wayne Count" is overrun with counterfeit S 2 bills. Charles Hazei.kigg, a pioneer ot Henry County, is dead. L. E. McDonalh’s residence at Morristown was struck by lightning. Loss, 9700. Thieves entered the office of the SeerIng planing mill, at Crawtordsville, and took $lO4 from the safe. The Citizens’ Gao, Oil and Water Company, of Greenfield has struck its second well and it is a gusner. Farmers in the northern part o* V ayne County have organized a stock company to bore for oil. Mrs. Emily I’p.icket, aged S 3, Centerville, fell down a Ltrairwav and waa probably fatally injured. Henry Stein had h’s foot crushed at the cerealine mill in Columbus, and is threatened with lockjaw. Ri dolph Glier. a prominent farmer residing four milcsnorth of Fort WaytA was killed in a runaway. John Hancock, a farmer, residing west of Muncie, lost two valuable horsey which were killed by lightning. The Thompson hotel, at Kentland, was destroyed by fire. Origin of the fire unknown, as the building was unoccupied. No insurance. James Anderson, a young Republican from Delphi, has been given the West Point appointment from the Tenth District by Congressman Hammond. The City Council of Noblesville has passed an ordinance granting a charter to the Illinois Electric Railway Company for the construction of an electric street railway. An Italian named Francisco Bahona was standing against a bumping post in the railway yards at Bichmonu, when a box car was backed up against hum killing him instantly. Charles Gough, a voung man living at Shelbyville, and employed as brake man on freight No. 54, fell under his train in the Greensburg switchyards, and was ground to pieces. The action of tho Citizens' Gas Comi pany of Elwood in raising the price of gas ICO per cent, has caused a big kick on the part of the consumers and they will bore a new well unless the company comes down. Allen County has paid into the State Treasury $90,806.12, and drew out tor schools 845,605.95. This is about the same per cent, of the payment into the treasury that other counties showed, and does not indicate padding.
