Uncle Sam’s Flower.
The following history of the move
ment to furnish the United States
with a national flower is clipped from
The Buffalo Express, and is of timely
interest, following as it does upon
recent meeting of the national flower
delegates in the south.
What shall be the national flower
of the United States? Most of the
states have selected their emblems;
but for the country at large there has
yet been no decision beyond the
roach of appeal.
There Is a national society of wo¬
men a; work on this very question
just now. Mrs. Norah Gridley is the
national secretary, and she tells
someithing about the history of the
agitation of the subject and what the
society proposes. Some years ago
some women undertook to create a
seutimeir; for the pansy, she says, but
the fancy soon died out. The pansy
is .r. importation, low in stature, and
of no historical gigudfusauee, and it
was not enthusiastically received,
toller on Miss Margaret Harvey un¬
dertook to immortalize the arbutus, a
fragrant, modest, clinging plant, and
it did receive considerable sympathy,
Bui the arbutus makes its home only
in the Eastern and Middle states, and.
therefore, does not represent the en¬
tire country; it is too dainty and
m-odest a flower, too. and not suf¬
ficiently effective either in color or
form.
Some years afterward the golden
rod came to the front. After an in¬
tonate acquaintance, however, the
golden rod agitation resolved itself
into a cry for deliverance from hay
fever, influensa, and epizooty.
At last a powerful and mighty can¬
didate arose, the sunflower, “the peo
pie’s choice.” It was sturdy of
growth, effective and startling in dec¬
oration; always turned its face to the
sun, and yielded large and rich eom
m-ercial product. If all the domestic
animals should become extinct, said
the Kansas people, still the sunflower
would produce a substance which
would illuminate the world, lubricate
machinery, fry every doughnut ami
grease the wheels of time. Suuflowei
clubs sprang up all over the land;
sofa pillows, tidies and bedspreads
were embellished with this aspiring
flower. Then the fickle people took
up something else.
The daisy ventured a campaign, but
it* claims were so slight and insignif¬
icant that its praises were soon hush
ed.
Then came Into the field another
candidate. the columbine, whose
qualifications were enthusiastically
set forth. In the first place its name
is suggestive of Columbia, the god
dess of liberty, then it has but three
color®, red, white and blue, Its five
horns of plenty represent the pros
perity of the nation, The horn turn
ed upside down is a perfect liberty
cab.
But about this time there seems to
have been a lull in the national flow¬
er movement. It was only lying dor¬
mant, however, and showed new life
during the World’s Columbian Expo¬
sition. Among all the manifold wo¬
men’s enterprises of 1893, there was
none more interesting than that of
the national floral emblem section.
L’nile- the auspices of the Board of
Board of Women Managers it was
hoped to make this a powerful organ¬
ization. It was put into the hands of
a manager from Kentucky. Booths
were erected, stalls opened, and the
desired emblem was fairly launched—
the Zea Mays, or Indian corn. All ob
jeetions bad been overruled. The new
national flower was graceful, decora
tive, and represented great commer¬
cial wealth, However, though this
brilliant campaign in behalf of the
corn flower seemed worthy a Napo
Icon, the interest in eorn began to
diminish. The more assertive women
began to discover that coercion or
"gag law" had been the order of the
day. 'Filially rhe effort to suppress a
tail- canvass gave rise to a well-defin¬
ed and independent movement which
resulted in the formation of "The Na
tional Floral Emblem Society of
America.”
It is this society that hopes to set¬
tle the question now once for all, and
of which Mrs. Grindiey, who is re
ponsible for the foregoing state
meats, is secretary. She says the so
cietv is “formed for the purpose ot
giving every man. woman and child
in this country a chance to vote for
the national flower. It has appoint
ed a chairman for nearly every state
in the union, who is working in com
with the main move
secured through the legislature
legislation. of
“It is the desire and ho{>e a num

af the people.” being
“Floral state fearival* are
conducted, a play has been written
for schools, floral games are
ed. and when the national election
calk ! the entire schools of the
try will be called upon to vote.
“The eooiety Is now in a flourishing
condition, and hopes to be able to
bring to a focus, next summer, the
national campaign, with the election
day on the Fourth of July.”
Broilers vs. Eggs.
A gentleman writes as follows from
Scott’s Station, Ala.:
"I am thinking seriously about
getting about one hundred common
hens and about ten cocks to raise
eggs and chicks for the market,
Chicks will bring an average price of
fifteen cents each, frying size, and
eggs eight to twelve cents per dozen,
The chicks will cost twenty cents
each, to start with; the house about
fifteen dollars. Now I will have a
good place for them to run out on
in the day time and a good place to
graze or pick grass and scratch. I
want to keep the hens laying every
day in the year if possible, and want
an incubator and brooder. There is
a man here who has an incubator
and brooder, one that he gave $75
and freight added about one year ago.
lie ha-s tired of the business and
quit. He offers me the incubator and
brooder at $50. It is O. K. Now what
l want to ask you is this: Do you
think itwould be wise for me to get
the incubator and brooder and keep
the hens laying and not let them sit?
Or would it be profitable for me to
go along with only- the hens and let
them lay and sit and depend on them
altogether?
“1 want to keep the pure breeds al¬
so, hut separated, and hatch all of
their eggs and cross them for prac¬
tical purposes to keep up my stock.
Now, with inexperience, ami with the
stock 1 propose to carry, and with
the odds against me, what would you
think my income ought to be? Do
you think 1 can make money at the
business? 1 am in the business for
-■ash and not pleasure; prefer both, of
course, but cash is the cardinal idea
uppermost in my mind. I would like
to get a setting of white guinea eggs.
Will you be so kind as to tell me what
is the best and cheapest to feed on
for egg production and also for little
chicks.”
We do not feel capable of
the advice sought and of directing
our friend in the right course to suc¬
cess. However, we will say what we
think about it, and if our ideas ap¬
pear wrong to others, we hope they
will take tip their pens and give us
the benefit of -their ideas and expe¬
rience.
In the first place, no one can make
i success of raising chickens for the
market without an incubator and
brooder. We mean by this that it
will not do to depend on the hens for
incubation when the plan in view is
to raise chickens up to the eatable
size only and then sell them and raise
more, and so repeat the operation as
long as profitable, because the best
paying season for such work is very
early in the spring, and the hens are
too uncertain and cannot be depend¬
ed upon for the purpose. But we
question if there is any profit in rais¬
ing chickens at the price named (fif¬
teen cents each) under any condi¬
tions. The profit would certainly be
very small on each chick, and it
would take a long time to get the
money back invested in incubator,
brooder, house, etc., or even to pay a
small interest on the investment.
As to hens laying every day in the
year, they do not lay that way. An
average of one egg to every three
days in the year is pretty good lay¬
ing; and yet there is more profit in
hens for their egg* at that rate than
there is in raising chickens at fifteen
cents each. 1’articularly so when we
can provide range and grass, gravel,
insects, ete. The eggs would not cost
much under such conditions, and the
price named (eight to tw'elve cents a
dozen) would leave a good
margin.
'ihe idea of keeping a few pure
bred fowls, so as to raise cocks for
crossing with common hens, so as
io keep up the vigor of the flock, is
i good one, and one that would make
she venture much more
than if the common hens alone should
be depended upon without any effort
being made to improve their progeny
Another point in flavor of raising
•ggs in plat-e of chickens, so to -peak,
js the fact that in the former case
the hens may ia- used as sitters and
mothers, and the incubator and
brooder dispensed with, because the
liens will take naturally to the nest
String the hatching season, which is
P^nty early enough to get out cluck
that are to be kept for
purposes, instead of being sold for

We find oats, boiled up with the
scraps and vegetables cut up and mix
ed with coarse cornmeal, or
>rau when cooked, the best food to
grain where the hens will have
» cratch to g*et it.
No one can make a specialty of the
ou ltry business and make it pay at

DINGLEY DECEINES.
The Daily Telegraph, of Kalamazoo,
Mich., which is published by N. Ding
ley-, a son of Congressman Dingley of
Maine, publishes the following au¬
thoritative dispatch from Washing¬
ton:
It can be stated definitely that Con¬
gressman Dingley-, chairman of the
ways and means committee, has de¬
cided not to accept a cabinet position.
He was offered the place of secretary
of the treasury by President-elect
McKinley, and given time to consider
it. Great pressure has been brought
to have him accept it, but he has def
initely decided not to take the place.
Ilis present duties are much more
congenial to him; furthermore, he
fears the arduous duties of the treas¬
ury portfolio would seriously impair
tiis health.
INDIA SAVED.
\t a meeting of the supreme conn
eil in Calcutta, Sir John Woodburn
stated that India had been saved from
the greatest calamity of the century
by I be rains which had opportunely
fallen in November and December,
which had checked the widespread
drouth, further rains last week, he
said, had greatly benefited the large
area of wheat sown. Nevertheless
the situation was still grave. Nearly
750,000 persons were receiving relief,
and the government was freely con
tributing money and men to distrib¬
ute it.
the of
India, endorsed Sir John Woodburn’s
statement, and added it Was wliat the
government was awaiting in order to
give better effect to proposals for re¬
lief. The government, however, could
have nothing to do with appeals to
private charity. The relief funds were
ample and it could never be suid that
the full resources of the empire had
not been used iu relieving the dis
tress.
AMERICAN SEAMEN.
That American warships cun at last
be manned by American seamen, is
demonstrated in the case of the new
cruiser Brooklyn, which has just been
made ready for sea at Philadelphia
Secretary Herbert announced that n
report from Commander Cooke, com¬
manding that vessel, shows that in
the complement of that vessel 101
sailors were enlisted, of which but l.i
were aliens. This propostion is insig¬
nificant compared with that of other
warships heretofore commissioned,
and it is believed that in a short time
it will be possible in the navy to “put
none tint Americans on guard.”
HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
The Coptic brought advices from
Honolulu to the effect that Mr. Henry
E. Cooper has presented to the presi¬

waiian matters. The minister stutcil
that his conviction was that there
would be a determination of the Ila
waiian question within a year, and he
regarded the prospect of annexation
as excellent. No effort will be made
on the part of Hawaii to bring up the
question at the present congress, but

the cuttle men prefer the “old man”
to any other kind of salt bush for

being more easily reached by them.
Another variety of salt, bush that is
finding its way into California is the
A triplex lieptocarpa. I t is said to
withstand much drouth, and to suc¬

Hurry.
Isn't, (Ids true? The bane of many
ft home is hurry. The father is in
sneli a hurry to get to his %vork that
if breakfast is not ready at the ex
uct minute he is emt of sorts and
frowns, and fretful speeches are the
result. Then to prevent (Ids, mother
must, hurry to get breakfast ready,
and all hurry to eat It, so there is no
time for pleasant good-morning
greetings itlul cheerful chat. After
breakfast father lakes his hat and
hurries away. Mother is in such a
hurry with her work that she has
time to sympathize with, advise, en¬
courage or mother the children In
any way, but hurries them off tr
school. So it goes all day long, and at
night, they all hurry off to bed, so
they may hurry up the next morning
and begin the hurry nil over again.
'I Ids constant hurry wears on the
nerves, brings wrinkles to the face
and fretful words to the lips, mid robs
life of half its comfort and enjoy¬
ment.
W* ask why is It?
