Show BAD TRAITS OF AFRICANS.

They smear their bodies with mud to protect them from mosquitoes and are extremely dirty and evil smelling in consequence. They are very low down in the scale of humanity and have a bad reputation among tribes living on the high ground, which reputation they upheld during our visit. We engaged several Watwa natives as carriers, but they only came to see what they could steal. One day I shot a reed buck in sight of the camp and left two Watwa to carry it in while I went after a hartbeest, but 1 never saw either men or buck again. It was no use following them into the swamps, as they knew every inch of the ground and water. They had small canoes hidden everywhere, and immediately they crossed a stream they sunk the canoe again where they alone knew where to find it. Our boys were afraid to follow them, as they used poisoned arrows, and sometimes aet poisoned stakes in the tracks leading to their haunts.

Kttshequa, Pa., Aug. 1. (Special) In this section of Pennsylvania there is a growing belief that for such Kidand ney Diseases as Rheumatism Lame Back there is only one sure cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This belief grows from such cases as that of Mrs. M. L. Davison of this place. She tells the story herself as follows: "I have suffered from Rheumatism for thirty years and find that Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me more good than any medicine 1 have ever taken. 1 was also bothered with Lame Back and I can only say that my back hasnt bothered me since I took Dodds Kidney Pills. Considering that Mrs. Davison only look two boxes of Dodds Kidney Pills, the result would be- considered wonderful if it were not that others are reporting similar results daily. Kushe-quis .fast arrivingjat a verdict that Dodd's Kidney Piiki are the one sure cure for Rheumatism." Dairying In Holland. In an address to Indiana dairymen, Prof. G. L. McKay said: No country is more interesting to a traveler who is interested in dairying titan little Holland. The country Is peculiarly adapted for dairying, owing to its cool, moist climate. .The northern part of Holland presents a very unique picture to the traveler, with its small, green fields dotted here and there with numerous windmills and the large herds of Holsteln-Fresiacows quietly grazing. The monstrous windmills, resembling an old lighthouse above the sea, are used for various kinds of work. They grind grain, pulverize rock and manufacture paper, but their most important duty is to pump out the water from the marshes into canals so it may find an exit to the sea, otherwise the lowland would be submerged. Excepting Greece and Great Britain, no country has so many inlets as Holland. The be Hollanders, as a people, might termed a little slow, but the government is certainly not slow in appreciating the benefits that the country derives from dairying, as eight instructors are employed, largely aided by the government, whose duty it is to give free instruction wherever it is required. Everything pertaining to dairying is kept scrupulously clean, even the cows in many cases being washed before they are milked. I have never seen a place where the old adage, "Cleanliness Is next to Godliness, comes In better, and I believe that the fine flavor of the Holland cheese Is largely due to their cleanliness. The slow, quiet customs of the people seem also to have been transmitted to the cows. Good grass land or land in the dairy section brings a much higher price than that In any other part of the agricultural district. In the dairy belt of Holland, dairying Is the chief occupation of the farmer, hence every care is given to the production of milk and the care of milk. The farmer, as a rule, does not try to follow any scientific method In feeding. Roots, hay and oil meal are fed. The oil meal Is used only in the winter when cows are on dry feed. They have no set rule as regards the proportion of feed. This, they maintain, depends upon the Judgment of the feeder and the cows he is feeulng. long-arme- Improving the Milk Supply. To improve the milk supply It Is necessary to reach the producer, and Our he cannot be easily Influenced. city friends are continually demanding cleaner milk, but little is done by them to secure it. It Is certain that pure milk could be obtained in a very short time if the city people went to work In an energetic manner to get it. The producer cares little for public opinion so long as It does not touch him. But let an inspector come to his place and demand to see his cows and hiB sheds and say to him that If these are not satisfactory, hiB milk will not be received in such and such a place, he will begin to pay respectful heed to the desires of the inInThe most Influential spector. spector Is the one that stands between Japanese Deities Are Kindly. the milk producer and his customers.

The mere digging of a hole for a tree is a small matter, but often the question of the hole in which the tree is to be set determines whether the tree is to be a valuable producer of fruit or not. In this work it Is not safe to take the example of another man. On loamy prairie soils, where the subsoil is of such a texture that the water will readily drain away, the digging of a hole about 18 inches deep is the principal thing necessary in the correct setting of an appletree. But most of our orchards are planted on clay soil and frequently on hillsides, where the soil Is so retentive of moisture that the water does not dralir off readily after a storm. In such a case, to dig a deep hole in land that has not been plowed for a great many years, If ever. Is to make a puddle for the tree. If there Is a gentle slope toward this hole the adjacent land will pour its water into it, and the hole will become more of a pool than anything else. A tree set In such a place simply remains from year to year without making much growth, seeming to be engaged In a great struggle with nature for existence. In a clay soil the whole land Is so clayey that water does not seep through it Some orchardists run a subsoil plow the length of the rows that are to receive the trees, so that the water will seep from the soil around the tree into the adjacent soil. We know of orchards that are set on sandy hillsides. It Is evident that In such a location the preparation of the hole In which the tree is to be set is of no moment, as the subsoil is of such composition that the water cannot remain to drown out the trees. Forest Fires. Of all the foes which attack the woodlands of North America no other Is so terrible as fire. Forest fires spring from many different causes, says Gifford Pinchot. They are often kindled along railroads by sparks from the locomotives. Carelessness is responsible for many fires. Settlers and fanners clearing land or burning grass and brush often allow the fire to escape into the woods. Some one may match or the glowdrop a ing tobacco of a pipe or cigar, or a hunter or prospector may neglect to extinguish his camp fire, or may build It where it will burrow Into the thick duff far beyond his reach, to smolder for days or weeks, and perhaps to break out as a destructive fire long after he is gone. When the duff Is very deep or the soil peaty a fire may burn beneath the surface of the ground for weeks or even months, sometimes showing its presence by a little smoke, sometimes without giving any sign of life. Even a heavy rain may fail to quench a fire of this kind, which often breaks out again long after it Is believed to be entirely extinct.. - Fires which thus burn Into the ground can sometimes only be checked by digging a trench througn When Color Is Used. of decaying wood and other The use of color Is not a thing that the layer to the mineral soil can be done entirely by rule, as the vegetable matter Ground fires usually burn cow varies the amount of color she beneath. than surface fires, much more puts Into the cream.

Commercial orchards are being planted on a large scale in many sections of the apple regions. Large contiguous blocks reaching one to three thousand acres, are being handled successfully, yet e believe that the same number of trees planted in ten to twenty-aorplots would give better results. It has occurred to us in our observations covering a numuer of years that It would be better m planting forty or eighty acies. as the case may be, to plant in blocnfc. leaving avenues at least one hundted yards wide, winch could be cultivated in small frurts or other rrops. Our reasons for this is that in our experience in packing apples we have found that after the trees have become large the limbs almost if not reaching each other, that the fruit is not so perfect in the large orchards as it is in the smaller ones, and have come to the conclusion that it is easier to comoat the ravages of insects and fungi in the smaller plots than it is in very large As the extended and unplantations. frequented forest is the habitation of wild animals and birds, so may the extensive orchards after becoming thickly grown become to a greater extent the habitation and harbor for Insects and fungi, than the smaller and more frequented blocks. As a large percent of the growth in the development of trees, fruits and plants is supplied by light and air, we perhaps give too little consideration to this feature of fruit culture, and have suffered by doing so. We know of no vocation that requires the application of good judgment and common sense more, or one that pays any better on the capital invested, when applied, than commercial orcharding. The individual must take the best Information he can get as to soil, varieties, care and cul ture, and intelligently apply it to his needs, governed by local environments with which he is surrounded. Do this and he will succeed In growing an orchard. The time for gathering our commercial crops is also very Important. Fruit should always be gathered when at the proper stage of ripening, regardless of the time of season. Geo. T. Tippin, Before Wisconsin Hortieul tural Society. .ustomers The best way to warm milk Is said to he to place the can In warm water. The milk will need stirring to permit It to warm up evenly. ' . half-burne- Reducing the Grain Ration. There is no doubt that in the past a great desl of grain has been thrown in me feeding of all kinds of farm stoik. through the feeding of quantities in excess of what could be utilized hy the digestive apparatus of the animals fed. We have assumed mat the more feed used by the animal the better. We have taken u for granted that the animal that received twenty pounds of grain a day got from :t twice as much nourishment as the animal that received ten pounds per c'ay. We are now finding that this is not so. This fact is bound to greatly modify our systems of feeding farm animals. The problem is to get the amount of feed reduced or increased io the point where it will be expended with tie greatest possible profit to the owner of the animal. There is such a thing as producing flesh and lat at too great an expense. Experiments have been made that 6howed that a steer fed eight and nine pounds of corn per day made the Eame gams as the steers fed twelve aud thirteen pounds of corn per day, all other parts of the ration being the same in all cases. The results of feeding steers from twenty to thirty pounds of corn a day showed that it cost as high as ten pounds of grain to make one pound in gam and that at this cost the increase of weight was not profitable. The ..mount of grain to be ted will, of course, depend largely on the kind of grain being given and on the other things tha. go to make up the ration. We believe it doubtful If more than twelve to fifteen pounds of grain can be profitably fed to a finishing steer on the ordinary ration. aa IN THE MIKADOS CHIEF OF POLICE SAVED. Newberry, S. C. W. H. Harris, Chief of Police, of Newberry, sajs: "I suffered for a number of years with There was a dull kidney complaint. aching across the small of my back that was worse at night and made me feel miserable all the time. The kidney secretions were dark and full of sediment, and lack of control compelled me to rise a number of times during the night. Between this annoyance and the backache it was impossible for me to get much sleep and my health was being undermined. 1 tried a number of remedies, but nothing helped me until I got Doans Kidney Pills. The use of this remedy to directions promptly according brought about a change for the better.

Show Yard Standards. The show yard standards of cattle have not always been the same, and hence it is impossible for a breeder to breed toward the show yard standard from year to year. He may be breeding toward the show yard standard of and away from that of ten years to come. We remember that twenty years ago the animal that was fit to win in the show yard was the great heavy steer weighing sometimes a ton. We remember that men kept breeding toward that standard from year to year and for some time were successful In carrying off the greater number of premiums. But a change came in the market demands and lo, the steers and bulls and cows that had been bred for show purposes through generations of their ancestors were out of type. A recent winner at the International was asked how it was that his steer, weighing about 1.550, chanced to take the first prize. He replied that during many years he had been breeding only with the idea of putting good cattle on the market. He said that during all this time the demand had been changing, and with It the popular idea of what was the best kind of a steer. He had not followed the Ideal, but the ideal had chanced to get around to his kind of an animal, and he had thus taken a prize that had made him famous. It is probable that show yard stan dards will continue to change. The man that will win In the future, as in the past, must be to some extent able to look ahead and see what the demand is to be In a coming year. y Bedding for Swine. In winter it is common practice to bed hogs, and this Is to be commended. There are many kinds of material in use and various opinions held as to which is best. Some use oat straw, but this is not in good repute with a large number of our swine raisers. Oats r'ten have smut in them and this smut has been proved to be poisonous to tne hogs if it gets into the eyes or into wounds or even scratches on the bodies or limbs of the animalB. Probably no kind of straw affected with smut should be used. Rye straw seems not to have the same objections made to it as has oat straw. One of the best beddings for hogs is leaves. Where the country Is roll ing or cut with small ravines these may be gathered in large quantities in the Fall of the year, as they will blow Into the ravines and collect in them to a depth of several feet. Where the land Is level It is often too much work to collect sufficient leaves to serve as bedding for a number of hogs throughout the winter. The collection of leaves where It Is feasible is not a matter that should be neglected. They contain much material out of which humus can be made and will be a valuable addition to the stock of manure. They rot easily, and this Is a factor In their favor. No better bedding for any kind of animals can be secured.
