taking action to liavo tho quarantine

meeting, Captain Hunter Hays, was
in progress when tho Dirigo sailed

pox scaro not only injures passenger
travel and business in general, but
that it has the effect of seriously dis
criminating ugainst American com
mercial interests for tho reason that
thcro is no quarantine nguinst Cana
dian ships from Victoria and Van

Trect Instead of Feel.
The Department of Agriculture next
year will vary the garden seed distri
bution with several packages of trees.
Authority for .this now departure was
secured at a recent session of Congress
and nu appropriation was made In the
budget for the coming year. The people
of this country have been cutting down
the natural forests with so much reck
lessness that It has become necessary
to start artificial ones. The division of
forestry of tho Agricultural Depart
ment has made a survey of the coua
try and has ascertained the particular
trees which thrive best and are most
useful In each locality. According to
the program for the distribution of
trees, next year a given number of
seedlings will be alotted to each mem
ber of the House of Ilcpresvntattves,
who will be asked to furnish a list of
constituents to whom he would like to
have them sent. The Agricultural De
partment will do the rest The seed
lings will be grown In the propagating
houses and forwarded to their destlna
Hon, with specific Instructions as to
bow they should be planted and cared
for. In this way Secretary Wilson ox
pects to start several million new trees
growing throughout this country every
year.
The Grance n Fchool.
No member of a grange should nccept

tend the meetings regularly and to fill
the position to the best of his ability.
Promptness Is nn essential to success
in grange work, as well as everything
else, and the meetings should be open
ed at the by-law hour. All business
matters which members Intend to In
troduce should be thought out In ad
vance and reduced to writing In order
to dispatch business quickly and effi
ciently. A grange will not prosper
that calls to order an hour behind time.
and then dawdles along waiting for
something to turn up.
Very few farmers know what any
particular crop costs them, or even
keep an account of receipts and expen
ditures. There Is probably no other
branch of business conducted In such
a slipshod manner. The grange should
be and to a large extent s a school

Orltclnn! Iden About Aapnrncna.
A consensus of opinion In regard to
putting asparagus, ns noted In Mee
han's Monthly, seems to ho that from
the first starting of tho plant In spring
the weaker shoots should not be cut,
hut left to produce the leafago so neces
sary for the production of strong roots.
Ono gardener makes the novel sugges
tion thnt tho very best success In get
ting tlrst-class asparagus Is to select
tho plants all of ono sex. Ills plan has
been to set l-ycar-old plants In n bed
rather closely together and mark tho
berry-bearing or female plants for tho
permanent bed. These, ho says, have
always borne strong shoots far superior
to tho beds of the usually mixed sexes.

Wo question If thero bo a greater
abomlnntlon about the hog yard than
tho average slop barrel, says the Farm
er's llovlow. Who Invented this nui
sance? Who can glvo n couimon-senso
reason for Its survival? It smells to
heaven! It renders tho digestive organs
of the hogs ns sour nnd unwholesome
as Itself! We are at a loss to explain
its presence, nor can wo seo what ben
efit Is derived from Its use. Is It any
wonder that ho Is filthy when food sup
plied to him Is filthy, sour, fermenting,
decomposing, dlnrrlicn-lnduelng? Such
food Is unnatural for the hog. He was
intended to root In the earth mid gruzn

A I'tihhlilw Pout.
It Is a great comfort for hogs and
may be made most useful to rid them
of lice and a scaly skin If put up ns
follows: Drive a stout stick three
Inches In diameter In a suitable place,
leaving twenty Inches above ground:
staple n rope four Inches from earth's
surface to the stake and coll It closely
till it reaches three Inches from the top
of the stake; staple It tightly. Pour
coal oil or crude petroleum on It until
It Is well saturated with It, and tho
hogs or shoats will fight for tho first
and last nib on It. Pour more oil on
occasionally us needed. This will kill
all lice nnd nits and remove scales that
are so unsightly upon the hogs. It has
been tried and works well. Twentieth
