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.

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. When the sparrow hawk is swoopingdown on its prey, it cleaves space at the speed of 150 miles an hour. No-To-5lMi- for Fifty Conte.

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. mm Rest Cough Syrup.
