‘ le is one
o£ t5w beat of ornamental leaved
whiob be grown jfrom seed
and bloom the first year. They grow
rapidly and make a fine hedge or
screen if planted in open rich soil in a
dry situation. As the young plants do
not bear transplanting well the seed
should be planted directly where the
plant is to remain,in the open ground,
when the weather becomes war m. The
richer the soil the more rapid the
growth of the plant and the more
brilliant the color of foliage and
stalk. According to variety the plants
grow from six to eight feet high, and
have foliage of shaded of green, red
and purple, Nicotine aflinis is also
readily grown from seed. The plant
grows to a height of three or four
feet, its broad green leaves and blos¬
soms of white being very attractive.
The soil should be rich and well
drained. A packet of seeds of each
variety, or rather class, costing ten
cents for the best variety, will furnish
a display equalling more costly palms
aud foliage plants. -
Heredity in Stock Breeding.
The attention of the stock breeder
who is striving for improvement in
the character and quality of his stock
must be directed to the study of the
individual characteristics of his breed¬
ing animals, with a view to ascertain¬
ing not only their merits and defects,
but the causes of such discernible in¬
dividual characteristics, whether they
are hereditary or acquired. Also he
must apply himself to the study of the
indications of invisible qualities, and
to testing for such characteristics to
learn if the invisible qualities are pres¬
ent as indicated or not. In producing
high-class stock to be used for further
purposes of improvement attention of
the breeder must be directed to a study
of ancestry to ascertain what latent
qualities his stock is likely to possess
•—that the undesirable latent qualities
may be overcome and the best may be
lirought into activity and usefulness.
A study of the formation of any
breed brings us to the conclusion that
the value of the breed is due to selec¬
tion, the breeding of blood lines and
feeding conditions. To maintain and
strengthen the present degree of ex¬
cellence it is necessary to bring to
bear equal method and system. This
can only be accomplished by working
along with nature and building on
strong foundations.-—C. H. Elmendorf,
in Nebraska Farmer.
Care of Young; Figs.
If young pigs have plenty of exer¬
cise and the right kind of food there
is no danger of over-feeding. A small
quantity of corn ground with wheat or
rye and middlings, and the whole
mixed with milk, is a first-class food
for young pigs. The common field
varieties of peas are also an excellent
food for pigs, young or old. Sow at
the rate of two bushels per acre and
cover four inches deep, sowing after
the peas are planted three pecks of
oats per acre, well harrowed in, to
serve as a support for the peas.
The food for pigs of all ages when
not being fatted should be that which
has bulk. Middlings, milk, ground
barley and swill for pigs, and for
skoats and breeding stock, fed in ad¬
dition beets or other roots cooked and
mixed with cut clover hay. For
young pigs, ground oats with the hulls
sifted out is an excellent food. Have
part of the feeding pen so arranged
that a portion of the grain food may
be scattered over it broadcast to give
the pigs exercises in feeding it. A
run of liberal dimensions should be
provided for young pigs if they are
kept in confinement, in order to get
the amount of growth from the feed
given to be profitable, otherwise lib¬
eral feeding will only result in an ex¬
cess of fat before the formation of the
desired amount of bone and muscle.
Colic in Iloi-ses.
It is stated on good authority that
seventy-five per cent, of the horses
that die each year are victims of colic.
During the spring the trouble is fre¬
quent among farm horses, although it
is usually wind colic, but this may
turn into the nervous colic so gener¬
ally fatal unless prompt and intelli¬
gent treatment is given. The stomach
of the horse is peculiarly susceptible
to the changes of food that are fre¬
quently made iu the spring, and that
invariably causes an attack of indi¬
gestion more or less violent. Any
change in food should be brought
about gradually, and so also should
radical changes in the work required
of the animal. It stands to reason
that a horse lightly fed for two or
three months of winter with but little
work to do Js not in fit condition to
put into the field for ten hours’ work
at heavy plowing. Give horses whole
home food regularly and according to
the work done by them. Keep them
from exposure to draughts of cold air,
especially when very warm; give only
pure water to drink, and they are
practically insured against colic.
Should the colic attack the horse,
the following treatment will give re¬
lief iti most cases. An injection of
clear water of the same temperature
of the stable should first be given,
followed by a pill made of five drams
of powered Barbadoes aloes, one dram
rnercurious chloride and enough lin¬
seed meal to make a stiff pill with the
addition of a little w-ater. Eub belly
- an( j flanks with coarse cloth or sack
iug j f the animal is chilled. After
this treatment the horse should not be
worked or violently exercised for at
least twenty-four hours. If the at¬
tack does not succumb to this treat¬
ment. it is sufficiently severe and dan¬
gerous to need the immediate services
of a skilled veterinarian.
In Mexico every thing and every¬
body pays a direct tax, from the street
porter to the largest mercantile estab¬
lishment, and the stamp tax for docu¬
ments is equally lucrative.
Tho South and the “Fourth.”
We propose, says the Mobile Regis¬
ter, that the people of the South re¬
vive the eoh'bration of the Fourth of
July. The animosities of the late war
have been buried, aud ought not any
longer to interfere with our obser¬
vance of the anniversary of the natal
day of the republic. We see once
again a united country, the North and
the South joined in a war against a
foreign foe. Southern men wearing
the uniform of blue and Southern men
boaring the flag of our republic. Why,
if there were nothing eise to rejoice
over, this spectacle itself should arouse
enthusiasm. But there is more than
this. This spectacle is the result of
the form of government bequeathed to<
us by our ancestors, and that govern¬
ment itself was the first great result
of the Declaration of Independence,
which was given to the world on the
Fourth of July, 1776.
Indeed, it is someting worth cele¬
brating, this anniversary of the begin¬
ning of a republic in which such a
thing can be accomplished. We appeal,
therefore, to our people to take advan¬
tage of this fortunate opportunity to
revive an ancient and honorable cus¬
tom. Let the Fourth of July be cele¬
brated; let public exercises take place;
let us have an oration, and a parade of
the civic and' military societies, and
wind up the day with a liberal com¬
bustion of gunpowder. It will do us
all a world of good.
War and Crime.
One of the peculiar effects of the
war is the reduction in the amount of
crime. This is especially noted in the
larger cities. In New York the change
is so marked as to excite comment on
the part of the police authorities.
There has been a reduction of nearly
fifty per oent. in the number of crimes
reported in that city since the opening
of hostilities. The same condition of
affairs is noted elsewhere. Even ar¬
rests for misdemeanors are unusually
small.
A Naval Hero’s Story,
From the Times-Her aid, Chicago, HI.
Late in 1861, when President Lincoln is¬
sued a call for volunteers, L. ,T. Clark, of
Warren, Trumbull Co., Ohio, was among
the first to respond. lie joined the mortar
fleet of Admiral Porter just before the me¬
morable operations on the Mississippi River
began. It was at the terrille bombardment
of the Vicksburg torts, that the hero of this
story fell with a shattered arm from a
charge of schrapnel.
After painful months in the hospital, he
recovered sufficiently to be sent to his home
at Warren, Ohio. Another call for troops
ilred his patriotic zeal and Clark soon en
listed in Company II, of the 7th Ohio Vol¬
unteers. In the army of the Potomac. lie
was skirmish in many engagements. Richmond, Bejng he wounded
iu a near was sent
to the hospital and thence home.

years ago Dr. Clark’s old Wounds
began to trouble him. He grew weak and
emaciated, and his friends despaired of his
life. He finally recovered sufficiently to be
out but was a mere shadow, weighing only
90 pounds. The best medical attendance
failed to restore his lost strength and vigor.
"A friend gave me a box of Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People,” said Dr. Clark,
“and they helped me so much that I bought
a half dozen boxes and took them. I soon
regained tny strength, now Weigh 190
pounds and, exoept for injuries that can
never be remedied, am as well as ever.
“I consider Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People the best remedy to build up a
run down system, and heartily recommend
them to everyone iu heed of such aid.”
A Fortune From a Scare.
An inventive genius who suffered
from attacks by stray dogs when riding
his wheel, set his wits to work to devise
something which would be an effica¬
cious, and yet comparatively harmless,
means of defense. As a result he has
brought out and patented a pocket
pistol which will shoot ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most vic¬
ious dog cannot withstand a few drops
of ammonia in his mouth or eyes, and
vet there is no danger of actually in¬
juring a valuable animal which might
playfully annoy a rider. The weapon
has • proved so much of a success as a
means of defense as well as fun-mak¬
ing, that the lucky inventor is realizing
much money from his device.

It is a Aveapon vrhich protects bicyclists against
vicious dogs and loot-pads; travelers against robbers
and toughs; homes against thieves and tramps, and is
adapted to many other situations.
It does not kill or injure; it is perfectly safe to
handle; makes no noise or smoke; breaks no laAV and
creates no lasting regrets, as does the bullet pistol. It
simply and amply protects, by compelling the foe to
give undivi ded attention to himself for awhile instead
of to'the intended Ahctim.
It is the only real Aveapon Avhich protects and also
makes fun, laughter and lots of it; it shoots, not once,
but many times Avithout reloading; and Avill protect
by its appearance in time of danger, although loaded
only Avith liquid. It does not get out of order; is dur¬

Southern Ports in War.
That neither war nor other influ¬
ence is affecting the progress of trade
at Southern ports to any material ex¬
tent is indicated by the figures of the
exports of breadstuff's. During May
the value of exports of breadstuff's
from all ports wus 838,280,997, an in¬
crease over May, 1897, of 825,186,597,
or 192 per cent.. The exports at
Southern ports were $11,763,732, an
increase of $8,663,555, or 279 per
cent., and at all other ports the value
w r as $26,517,265, an increase of $16,-
523,042, or 165 per cent. There was
a gain during the month at every
Southern port, and at only one port in
the country, Duluth, was there a falling
off. During the eleven months ended
May 31 the breadstuff exports were
$295,603,138, an increase of $116,536,-
465, or 65 per cent., in the whole
country. At Southern ports the values
were $113,549,700, an increase of $51,-
885,062, or 84 per cent. At all other
ports the value was $182,053,438, an
increase of $64,651,403, or 558.
