The Crematory Trust. The recent published announcement that a movement had been set on foot to consolidate all the crematories of the United States and Canada into one association for the purpose of fixing ? uniform price for incineration is not one that those sensitive on the subject of "trusts" need view with alarm. ~?X crematory trust ls impossible." said a person well informed on thia somewhat depressing subject, "for the cost of incineration depends entirely on the cost of coal. Coal may be $12. n ton in California and $4 a ton here. It may be almost nothing at all at a place like Fort Wayne, Ind., but they haven't any crematory there. But lt would be quite impossible to establish anything like a uniform price." At present the cost of incineration depends somewhat on the circum stance.1 of each case, although in New York the regular price is $35 for adults. There arc, however, in connection with most crematories, "relief funds" es tablished by societies or by individual donations, with which the expenses of incineration for those who have ex pressed a wish that their bodies be thus disposed of after death, but have Jeft no money to provide for it, may be met. The methods in these cases are somewhat similar to those used in hospitals, where a patient pays what he can afford to pay.-New York Sun. Brazil Invaded by Teutons. "Germany in Brazil" is a topic rare ly discussed in the press, and yet the German settlements in South America are the most flourishing of which the FatheAand can boast. Since the be ginning of the present century German emigrants have struggled against fear ful odds to establish themselves in Southern Brazil, with the result that to-day it is claimed that a quarter of a million inhabitants of German ex traction find a comfortable home there. Large German colonies exist in Rio de Janeiro. % Bahia and other purely Brazilian pl?ces, but the Ger mans almost call their own the Bra zilian provinces of Parana, Santa Cat erina and Rio Grande de Sui. The Germans in Brazil may not at present have either the intention or the wish to constitute themselves an indepen dent political body, but the increase of Germanism in that part of the world is a factor that will no doubt one day j be felt-Paris Messenger.

To Mothers of Urge Families. In this workaday world few women are so placed that physical exertion is not constantly demanded of them in their daily life.

Always feed plenty of corn to the hogs after they become used to it while the weather is warm and v:isture abundant, for then is the time that the most pork can bc made with the least corn. Keep salt aud ashes before the hogs cor.tlnually. Mix one-third salt and two-thlras i'shes, but .if the hogs atc not usH to it, feed sparingly for two or three times; then kt them have all they want all the time. Soft coal and char coal are excellent for swine. Fresh water, with clean.surrounding, i's also necessary.' Observe these things:'and cholera will not be apt to bother. .' Limiter Horne? Helter. Farmers who have watched th? ease with which larre draft horses handln heavy loads on good roads or city pavements have been led to thiiiR that a heavy horse uust be the better ani mal in all cases, and we see many farm teams that are far inferior in the. amount of work they ran do in plow ing or in drawing a load upon soft ground than a much lighter team would do easily. Then the h->avy horses are driven over our hilly roads, oft:n at a rate of speed that cauros them to pound the earth so that the legs give out and they are quickly lame. It certainly requires more food to sustain a 1600-pound nurse than one weighing from 1000 to "1200 pounds, and w"hen not .constantly employed drawing heavy loads the amount nf work done by the heavy horses does net compensate tor the extra cost of "maintaining them. As farmers will havo next spring to buy horses, or many will, we advise them to turn their attention to the smaller horses ircm Canada if they can be found rather than to the Percherons anl Shire horses that have been so popu lar lately. They will cost less prices, cost less to keep, do about as much work and endure much lcnger.-Amer ican Cultivator. American Flnx Fibre. The foremost countries for the growth of fine flax threads and fabrics are those which have long, moist, equable seasons. Tho most successful growth cf fiax for fine fabrics is in thc low countries of Europe. T"iere, tc obtain the best and finest quality of fabric, the seed is not allowed to ripen, but the flax ls pulled when it arrives at the highest state of perfec tion of fibre. i Puring the fifties I was engaged here in the manufacture of linen thread, and found that in order to pro duce a merchantable article of uni form quality no supply of American grown flax could be had. Occasional seasons gave us excellent fibre, but variations of seasons prevented the supply being reliable. Many hundred thousands of dollars have been wasted in this country in the attempt to make fabrics for which our growth of flax is unsuited. To have fibre of the most uniform and highest quality uniform ity of temperature and moisture is indispensable. Flax fibre grown in onr climate is inevitably of unequal strength, because part of the time it has a proper amount of moisture, and then comes drouth, and the quality and strength of the fibre grown after that aro weak and uneven, so that the flax is not fit for fine threads or Muons. In this country, as a whole, flax ls cultivated for seed, and the use o? the fibre is subordinate. It answers very well for coarse fabrics and twines, but for linens It is wholly unsuitable, i-Albert E. Powers, in Country Gen tleman. Houp in Its Various Form*. The malignant diphtheretic roup is its worst form., and as this type is higbiy .contagious. . the best remedy is a goqd sharp hatchet, for it saves tho bird fr'cm intense misery and the owner from much care and anxiety. Neither is it safe for the caretaker to breathe the foul stench which arises from the disease. Besides, a hird which seems- -to- recover from it is practically worthless. The next worse form is free from the canker in the throat, but both sides of the bead are usually ball) .sw'ollen, both eyes close and ofttimes maturate. If the bird recovers from this form it generally loses ono or both eyes, as the great inflammation shrivels the eye entirely away. In the mild type of this form, the eye* close, maturate slightly and stick to gether. Cold cream or vaseline rub bed on every morning and night will nearly always cure them. Houp sometimes assumes the pneu monia type. If taken in season a tea spoonful of Arabian balaam, two or three doses, will nearly always cure. When the roup first makes its appear ance in a flock of poultry the sick should be put in as warm a room as possible by themselves. Put carbolic acid in their drinking water, a table spoonful twi a pailful of water. Mix a little cay - ne pepper in their warm feed in tht morning. A little tiuctura of iron in their drinking water occa sionally, even when health is good, may be the means of saving from di sease in the future. As a rule, how ever lt is a discouraging task to doc tor poultry. An ounce of prevention is ofttimes worth a pound of cure in the poultry business, yet, in spite of all precautions roup sometimes will make sad havoc among a choice flock. Keep everything as free from damp ness as possible.-American Agricul- j turist. For the Cow Stable. "Line upon line" ls a precept as applicable to the dairy business and to farming in general as to morale. Here follow, for example, some rules for the cow stable which are far from novel, but none the less imposant. Hoard's Dairyman in arranging and enforcing them calls them "command ments." 1. Thoroughly clean the stable every day and sprinkle the gutters ?h? all wet spots on the floor wJth land plaster (gypsum) or road dust, 2. .Give each cow a liberal supply of dry bedding at all times. 3.

Tho analysis ot Fertiliser*, It has long and often been claimed by farmers that the chemist in his analysis of fertilizers does not tell them enough about their compoaUloni They say that the chemist gives '.hem commercial value only, arid that fre quently Incorrect, While the agricul tural val?e, which is the important thing to the farmer, is not shown or pretended to bel With regard to phosphoric acid and potash, the pre fent methods of chemical analysis are on the whole satisfactory, and furnish a basis for judgment as to the agricultural value cf these ingre dients. But in the case of nitrogen, the most valuable and costly eioraent ia fertilizers, tho complaint of the farmer is well founded. It is an unquestioned fact that a fertilizer can be manufactured which will analyze high in nitrogen and yee have very little value as a ferti lizer. The ordinary method of analy sis, as is commonly us-rd in this and many other states, gives the total amount of nitrogen in the fertilteor without showing whether or not the nitrogen is in form available for plants, but they "assume" that the or ganic nitrogen is from the hort sources, and consequently highest cost, and value it accordingly. The Connecticut station report for 1895, says: "These valuations it must be remembered are based on the as sumption that the nitrogen, phos phoric acid and potash arc available to farm crops. Chemical examinations can show pretty conclusively whether this it true in regard to potash. There is less certainty in regard to j phosphoric acid, while chemical ex- I amination as it is usually made gives | little or no clue to the availabil.ty of the organic nitrogen in mixed goods. The principal use of artificial fer tilizers is to give an early and vigoi ous start to hoed crops. It is very important, then, for farmers to know j how much of the nitrogen in tho fer tilizer to be used is in such form that it is available for this early rapid j growth. Nitrogen is used in fertilizers in three forms, as nitrogen of nitrate salts and nitrogen in combination w ith animal or vegetable matter, com monly called organic nitrogen. All ammonia and nitrato salts are soluble in water, and hence immedi ately available to the plants. With organic nitrogen the case ls quite different. The principal sour ces of organic nitrogen are fish scrap, dried blood, slaughter house refuse, ' horn and hoof meal and leather waste. These materials have a very different agricultural value; dried blood, for in stance, decays rapidly in the soil and sooner yields its nitrogen to thc cope than hoof and horn m:al and leather waste, which resist for a long time the process, of decay, and till then are practically worthless.-Andrew H. Ward, in New England Farmer. THE MANY-SIDED LLOYD'S. Special Features or the Grent .Ma ri no In- ! s ii run co A coney. "There is a philanthropic side of the corporation of Lloyd's. Whenever they hear through any of their vast army of agents of any deed of heroism on the deep tney immediately communi cate with thc hero or heroine and com memorate tho deed by striking off a medal which is presented to the one who has earned it. Thc committee of Lloyd's has a standing advertisement in Lloyd's Weekly Shipping Index, re- j questing all captains who may call at British ports to 'communicate any in formation concerning any wreck or vessel In distress, or making a long passage, to Lloyd's agent at the first port of call.

"At an office on thc ground floor of the Royal Exchange, Lloyd's answers, free of charge, all sorts of inquiries from the wives, or relatives, or the sweethearts of sailors anxious about the cruise of Jack, or desirous of find ing out where his ship may be.

One excuse, that we can not afford tho expensive roads of those countries, no ionger exists. The cycle path is not expensive. We can af ford it, and v;e cannct afford to dd Without it. Besides providing a healthful; plcah Urable means of recreation for our selves, it will tend to keep numbers of tourists and money at home, and off eet the stream of both which con tinually flows from the United States to Europe.
