A foppish French­ man, who knew no English, but never­ theless called himself a "gentleman," went so far in his Anglomania as to write "Esq.," after the names of . men to whom he wrote letters, on the backs of the envelopes. By and by'a friend asked him what this meant. "Why, the English do it," the other answered. "Yes, but what does 'esq.1 mean?" "Why, you see, the English are of a very cold temperament, and admire cold things, and 'esq.;' which means Esquimau, is a great compliment!"

On the farm the item of labor must be considered according to Its actual cost as an expenditure. Though the labor of the farmer himself is an item of cost, and must be paid for, yet he pays it to himself, and it really is profit because of tiie employment se­ cured by him on the farm. For that reason a small farm, or a small flock or herd, will ai .cays pay more, in rro- portion to expense incurred, than larger areas or an increase of stock.

The labor on the farm, therefore, is the heaviest of all "ex­ penses, and it is the principal stand­ point from which all profits must be estimated. But labor alone cannot .make a crop. The soil must be fitted to derive the largest possible- product .by the proper use of plant food, which per^ mits of the application of labor to the best advantage. Small farms can be made to largely increase their yields more easily and rapidly than large areas, because the manure or fertilizer can be concentrated instead of spread over a wide surface at an increased cost of labor for men and teams; hence," proportionately, as the yields increase the expense decreases. Expenses are reduced when the yields are increased because in many instances it requires but little more labor to secure a large yield than a small one, aud expenses are also lessened when fertilizers are used to increase the yield because; the cost of the fertilizers will be more than regained, as well as assist in securing ! greater' results from the labor. The best mode of reducing expenses is lo cultivate no more land than can be kept u$ to its highest limit of fertility so as to secure the largest yields possible.-- Epitomist.

T,,, It Was Before the Day of Small Farms the Beat. Farmers are beginning to so that a less acreage of land, free from the op­ pressive mortgage, is more to be de­ sired than a burden of debt. Intensive farming is the basis of argument upon which our learned and scientific Agri­ culturists build their estimates of rapid development and „future permanent rrealth. The increasing number of small l'arms, with better cultivation and bet­ ter improvements, is certain to be fol­ lowed by an increased production, an increased number of manufacturing in­ dustries, an increased population and greatly increased wealth of the State's resources. -- . ' Economy on the farm may be made to mean more than the saving of;the little things. The' reducing of the mortgage debt by reducing the acreage of the farm to the actual capacity to till and make productive,will be in the line of economy. The changing o. con­ ditions whereby 100 bushels p.f grain !s made to grow where formerly fifty grew Is economy; the building of be1> ter homes and the enjoyment of better home comforts by the family on' the farm is economy; the Independence of actual ownership in a business which recognizes no rival in its buslnefes-sus- tqining attributes is econody to mind arid body.--World-Herald. They Used to Say "Woman's Work Is Never Done." Mushroom Culture. Mnsliroom-growiug In summer re­ quires, as indispensable conditions, a cool, oist atmosphere, and a dark place from wbicb»flies may be. excluded. The breeding of maggots in the mush­ rooms, as soon as summer weather be­ gins, renders their culture unprofita­ ble under ordinary^ conditions. A cool, dark,underground cellar, however, may be used for mushrooms. The basket was well filled with prepared manure, firmly packed, mounded up in the cen­ ter. covered with loam, and then spawn­ ed like an ordinary bed. Amateurs growing mushrooms in small quantities would find baskets or boxes very con­ venient for handling, and an economy of space. The general treatment is the same as when grown In ordinary beds. About four years ago scientific at­ tention was given, for the first time, to a A'ery distinct variety ..of mushroom raised for'market by a Long Island j grower, who found it especially suited Lto summer culture. This mushroom J (Agaricus subrufescens Peck) was j rather coarser in appearance than the variety ordinarily grown (Agaricus L-ampestris) and different in color, the gills being of a rusty reddish tint. The new mushroom proved to be of an ex­ cellent quality, a heavy yielder, and very easily grown, flourishing in open frames outside. The only drawback to its culture was the fact that many pur- GroTrlng Hogs Cheaply. We still occasionally find writers on agriculture who believe that clover a3 the main feed is the best and cheapest way of growing hogs. We believe in clover as thoroughly as any one can, but it has its limitations. It Is not adapted as the principal article of diet for an animal which" has so small a stomach as a hog. It is in the fact of the hog's small stomach that its value as a producer of cheap meat lairgely consists. No other anihial has so small a proportion of waste as a purebred, fine-boned hog. If it could be obliged to live mainly on clover, the amount of food it must eat would enlarge its stomach, and also, perhaps, increase the proportion of bone in proportion to meat. A very small proportion of clo­ ver given to hogs fattened on corn will enable them to,dlgest it better, because the clover furnishes more of the mate­ rial for growth and muscle than the corn does. But this can quite as well be furnished by oats or wheat mid­ dlings, with milk if It can be had. As succulent food in connection with grain, any kind of beets are, we think; preferable to clover. More of them will be eaten than of clover, and the beets will keep the digestive organs in . good condition better than any other feed will do.--American Cultivator, No Horns on Cattle. Horns were unquestionably useful to cattle in their wild state; but since they have become domesticated they are only a nuisance and a danger. No ani­ mal except the horse is brought into so close association with man. In feed­ ing cattle or in tying them up in stalls they will often whlslc their heads iu play or to get rid of flies, and duless great care is taken, the person who cares for them is liable to severe in­ jury. We have known sight destroyed in one eye by the puncture of a sharp horn. The old plan was to put knobs on the tips of the horn, so as to make them less dangerous. Nowadays the practice is growing of dishorning cows and bulls, and better still, stopping the growth of horns with a little potash before they appear above the surface. If this is done once thoroughly no trou­ ble from horns need be feared. The operation Is only "slightly painful, uot nearly so rpucli so as the horns would inflict if allowed to grow.

At the same time there may be other changes in the cabinet. But the retirement of Justice Field, the appoint­ ment of Attorney General McKenna to the vacancy and the promotion of Judge Day to a seat in the cabinet are the only changes now decided upon. Justice Field has been eligible for re­ tirement ever since Nov. 4, 1886, when he reached the age of 70 years. Since that time there have been frequeut rumors that he was about: to leave the bench. There was no foun­ dation for any of them, however, amd it was not until a week ago that lie de­ cided to take the step. He then called upon the President and formally present­ ed his letter asking for retirement. Efforts were made during the Cleveland admin­ istration to induce him to retire, but he would not consent to do so.

Now a cabbage that does not head Is merely a bunch of loose leaves that eahuot be sold at all. It does not piatter what the cause of failure may be. Possibly the plant was originally a weakling, and with ordinary care and rich soil could uot amount to anything. Or it may be that lack of cultivation or natural poverty of the soil is the cause of the-failure to head. Either way the duty of the cabbage grower Is plain. He should thoroughly cultivate the soil around the cabbage, and then apply a very, weak solution of nitrogenous and min-j eral plant food, the latter' in the fotnlj of phosphate. If this l«s done'abiosibfcj the cabbages will sjtart into growth BO quickly and also so strongly that, be­ fore the growing season closes, the grower will probably be oblig^l to par­ tially uproot his cabbages to prevent them from splitting open w1t6 the eSc cess of plant food with which they are furnished. Pumpkins a Paying: Crop. There is no corp requiring so little labor that pays so well as pumpkins. There is always a market for them in city or village at prices much higher than pumpkins are worth for feeding to stock. Yet it is a bulky crop to han­ dle, and unless there is a near market it may pay better to cut them up and feed the crop to stock. Remove the seeds always, as they are a powerful diuretic, and when fed to cows will ex­ cite the urinary organs far too much. Boiled pumpkins, with a little corn-, meal or w-Wl^ corn boiled with them,, make a n^upli better feed for fattening hogs than wj^whole corn. Finally the old-fashio^edjjpumpkin pie, .which the sons of New England have made fam­ ous throughout the land, is an institu­ tion for which nothing can be success­ fully substituted. Some may say that squash pie Is richer; but it lacks the distinctive pumpkin flavor, aud cannot replace it to any one who was brought up to like pumpkin pie. , TITO oir cnc^siipitnuc vcutSrSS was on that day that he exceeded the term <k ser­ vice of thirty-four years five months and six dayp to the credit of Chief Justice Marshall, whose service had up to that ;time been the longest in the history of the court.

There is nothing in the exist- <ing treaties under which she can be ex itcadited. In an excess of friendliness for •a foreign nation the President, in the dis­ cretion vested in him as chief executive of,'&e republic, might turn her back into the hands of the Spanish authorities if on urgent demand were to be made upon him. For President McKinley to take such ac­ tion would be to arouse the American peo- 1 pie into a high state of excitement, and With a,knowledge that such would be the case it is extremely doubtful whether the Spanish Government would insist upon wich a course. The incident has caused great excitement in the State Department. The opinion there is, however, that noth­ ing serious will come of, the incident and that the Spanish Government will not at­ tempt any grand stand play looking to the return of the escaped prisoner. The notoriety which will attach to the young woman and the great ado which her es­ cape has caused will be more or less an­ noying to the Spanish Government, but it Is hardly probable that the Madrid officials will be betrayed thereby into making de­ mands which would almost certainly oc­ casion trouble and which could under no circumstances result in the return of the girl..
