It says what Walker-ton lacks in-quantity is made up in quality. Democratic' leaders term this a of education.

THE WAGES OF FARM LABOR. Not Muoli Affected Prices. as Yet by I.ow Notwithstanding the general depres eion in agriculture and the low price ruling for farm products the wages farm employes eeern to be well main tained and not to have beenjnuch affect ed as yet by low prices. According tc the report of the government statistician covering investigations made during tin past two years there is everywhere i pressure of competition with farm labor withdrawing laborers from rural en gagements and thus leaving to the re mainder fair wages.

In New England farm wages are slightly higher than years ago. There is complaint of the scarcity of intelligent labor, and where foreign labor is abundant much of it i untrustworthy, besides requiring instruction and supervision. Farmers in New York and in many other states as wel are trying to do their own work to avoic the expense of skilled labor and the an noyance of unskilled. The demand for labor in other pursuits with better compensation and the desiri for living in cities and towns are thi chief causes of the scarcity of intelligen 1 farm labor wherever it exists. In the cotton states very few laborers are em ployed through the year at given rates In money, this class mostly preferring to work at shares of the produce.

The escesssive wages formerly demanded harvesters in the great wheat regions have been reduced along with the intro duction of improved machinery for do ing harvest work. There have been only slight fluctuations in the average rate; of wages since 1879, and the result of the whole investigation indicates a fair, il not full, employment of farm labor a 1 wages substantially the same as two years ago, when a similar inquiry was made. Care of the X.awn. To keep a lawn in good condition requires seasonable attention as much as a garden does. The gtass must be cut evenly and often, and in moist, growing weather this will "be required at intervals of not more than a week' or ten days.

The lawn mower is the implement for the pxu-pose and a scythe should not be used on a lawn if it is to present a sight- ly appearance. An essential condition for a lawn is a good grade, with a smooth surface. The former must necessarily conform a good deal to the natural lay of the land, and the latter is best produced by frequent rolling, in which the lawn mower will itself assist. There is no variety known by the name of lawn grass. What is put up by seedsmen and sold under that name is a mixture of varieties of which blue grass should constitute the largest proportion.

Where clean grass sward can be obtained a small lawn can be more quickly formed than from sowing the seed. The sward should be cut in squares that can be laid down so as to join each other nicely and completely covar the ground. When thus laid down the newly formed lawn will be settled down and greatly bene fited by passing a roller over it. Time in Milk. It appears that the same cow, on the same kind of food, will yield richer milk after ten months of milking than at the end of one month.

In some recent experiments a cow that gave milk containing 3.5 per cent, of fat in November and December, 1888, on the same kind of food, in May, 1889, gave milk with 8.9 per in August, on pasture feed, 4.10 per and in September, 4.23 per cent. Another cow averaged 8.6 per in December and November, 1888; J.9 per cent, in April, 1889; 4.4 per cent, May. These are only two instances, aut it is a fact well known that most cows do so increase. This being true, we must not too hastily conclude that a jive'n kind of food has caused increased in the milk, since it may be that a jart of the whole of the observed change due to a natural increase due to length of time in milk, and not to food at all. A Ilem'eily for Plant Lice.

It is easy to prevent cabbage worms rom iajuring- the All that, is necessary is to keep tho crowns filled with soil. One can walk along the rows md do it with a hoe.

THE OHIO STATE Official Investigation of Baking Powders, Made under the direction of the Legislature by the State Food and Dairy Commissioner, General S. H. Hurst, Shows the ROYAL to be the purest of all baking powders tested, a cream of tartar powder, containing no unwholesome ingredients, of great leavening power, its strength most perfectly preserved.

All the other baking powders contained impurities, ranging from 10.18 per cent, to 86.23 per cent, of their entire weight. As the best baking powder is that which gives the largest amount of gas and leaves the least impurity in the bread, the Royal is again officially stamped the best in all respects. aluslin Stack Covers.

If, on unfolding, parts do not have sufficient oil, add more and wring again. We estimate that three gallons of boiled oil will be sufficient for two cur- sis by seven yards.

The little chick wants his share of milk as well as the pigs. He does not require nearly so much as they do, and will be thankful for Hkim milk until a month old, with the provision that it be boiled should any looseness of the bowels ensue, and after a month or six weeks he is pretty sure that he can drink buttermilk or clabber with impunity that is, if the drinking pan is kept clean and neat, and no milk allowed to remain in it long enough to become sour or rancid. Hens that cannot drink whenever they require it will not lay regularly, no matter how well thej' are fed. There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the Ivory." They are not, but like all counterfeits, they lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for Ivory Soap and insist upon having it.
