Carnegie's V.Ut to I'lttburj.
PrrrsBUKG, Dec 20. Several weeks
since the Pitts'burg Art society adopted
resolutions recommending the accept
ance of Mr. Carnegie's gift of a public
library to the city of Pittsburg.
In transmitting the resolution to Mr.
Carnegie the society deplored the
stand taken by the several labor or
rnniz9.tions against accenting Mr.
Carnegie's gift Today Mr. C. W.
Scotel received Mr. Carnegie's reply,
which says in part:
I am naturally much grieved at the
action of some of the industrial organ
izations to which the resolutions refer.
Whatever was of a personal character
I readily understand and passed over,
perhaps the more easily because I couid
not.quite see how I deserved it But
the ooposition expressed o the library,
music hall and art gallery was wholly
a different matter. It were indeed
pitiable if the wage earners for whom
these were chiefly intended should be
oermanently prejudiced against them
by any shortcoming of the donor, how
ever grevious. for sadly as be may fail
in his efforts to live worthily and do
his duty and no one. alas! knows as
well as himself how far he falls short
of his own ideals yet his gifts to
Pittsburg must ever remain stainless,
and working good continually, and
never evil I hope, therefore, that
your action may bring my fellow work
men (for I have a right to use this
title) to see that fair play requires
them to separate "the donor and his
many faults irom libraries and music
halls and art galleries, which have
none. Ji tney win oniy ao wis i wm

The Maaaaesaeat of Past ares.
This is a matter that is giving con
siderable concern to many farmers, for
in the present state of the markets
and of values, they are apt to over
stock the pastures and more than half
destroy them in an effort to keep down
expenses and save the grain crop.'
This kind oi work is of the penny wise
order and must eventuate in serious, if
not permanent loss to those who
practice it The Manchester, N. H.
Union, has a few suggcaiiye remarks
od the Subject Which, we pfesgnl'oei
fd: . ... ,...,
Now slop and think the matte'r all
over. Those steers that you have
turned into fall feed, that is, the mow
ing fields, are growing faster than
they have before this season, and the
cows are doing better in proportion to
other conditions. Just think where
you would have been if they could
have had such feed nil summer! Can
you afford to supply such feed or can
you afford to do withdufe it? Watch
the cattle feed where they carl get a
mouthful ill every bite and then go
intd the pasture where they have been
all sdmmer and calculate as nearly as
you can how many motions they must
make and how much ground they
must cover to fill their stomachs so
they will be ready to lie down and
chew their cuds. About half of this
difference is on you and coming
out of your pocket Pasture
grass need not be more than
two inches high if it is fine and
thick for stock to do well and if it is
kept down to about that length it is
better than field grass wuich grows
tall enough to shade itself. But in our
fifty-acre pastures on plains or hillsides
there are not more than five acres on
an average that would produce Such
feed if they were not overstocked, and
as our pastures are too often stocked
according to the acres they contain
rather than the feed they produce the
green spots are gnawed close to the
, ground, and cattle work hard all day
and come up lank at nignt xnere
should be some change in the system
and each man must decide for himself
how he will change it Every man
who conducts what is called mixed
farming needs all the manure he can
make on his fields, and as he needs to
spend the most of his labor there as
well, the pastures are left to take
their chances.
There are several systems of rotation
which may be adopted to advantage
under proper conditions. Where any
considerable part of the pasture land
can be plowed, plowing and re-seeding
with a light manuring will make a
great change for a few years, and one
field may be pastured while another is
being sultivated. Another plan of ro
tation is to make the pasture into
three parts and keep sheep in one of
them two years and let the cattle have
the others one or two weeks alternate
ly, depending on how fast the grass
grows. Then take the sheep pasture
for cattle and give the sheep one of
the others. The object of this is to
feed the pastures more closely with
sheep than could be done with profit
by cattle. Sheep want a greater va
riety of food and when grass fails will
eat other plants and kill out many
weeds that cattle would not touch.
For pasturing in this way six or
seven sheep may take the place of a
common cow, and more may be counted
on if there are more weeds and bushes
than grass. Horses are more particu
lar what they eat than cattle or sheep
and a pasture where colts have run
until the golden rod and blackberry
vines have almost taken possession,
can be cleaned out and brought into
clean grass in two years by stocking it
heavily with sheep.
Much may be done with pigs when
there are cows enough kept to feed a
godd herd of swine and it is not desira
ble nor convenient to keep sheep.
Pigs will work in wet places and dig
out every plant that has a succulent
root Their work will be more thor
ough and rapid than that of sheep, but
if they are fed with slop3 from the
dairy it is not so convenient to have
them in distant pastures.
The Poor Farmer Boy.
You may talk of the hardships and
torments of the army mule, but they
are trivial compared with those en
dured by the farmer boy. I have been
reminded of this by the disposition of
the hands about the threshing machine.
As you know, the hardest hottest po
sitions are upon the straw stack; and
if there are any boys about the machine
and there always are you may safe
ly bet your bottom dollar they are on
the straw stack. Yet the farmer won
ders why the straw is stacked so poor
ly, and gets mad about it. The boys
lack the strength to handle the straw;
give them the easy places and put the
men on the stack. I have said that
boys can always be found upon the
straw stack. I will make one excep
tion; if the wind blows the dirt out
from the cylinder, the boy is put to
cut bands.
In harvest the boy is expected to
keep out of the way of the reaper, do
his work well (if a bundle Ls found
open, it is always blamed on the boy)
fetch the water, go after the monkey
wrench, and hunt up the oil-can, and
he can sfop the pigs, fetch hay for the
horses, and pump water for the cattle,
while the men are cracking jokes in
the shade after dinner.
Whan a boy is sent out to plow, her
is eiven a plow that -a man will not
, se. and the oldest, meanest team on
"icpiace. mere sa uu.v no un
bay has it; if an axe has been broken
, J nd thick itisgiven to the
boy; if there is an old, rusty shovel, it
belongs to the boy. The boy is set to
mowing weeds in fence corners, with
the high-corn, to keep off the breeze,
but not the August sun; and if that
were not enough he is always given a
worn-out scythe. If it is broken and
loose on the snath, that is all the bet
ter. The" bay is expected to pitch as
much hay as any body, with astraigfat
tined, inflexible-handled fork, and
scolded if he doesn't. That boy is
sent out to cut fodder with a knife
that would do to split rails, were it
not so dull, and set to grubbing with
a 'mattock that would hi treasured by,
archaeologists.

Wheat there ia aothing else for him

Butter Without Workiax
In these days of progress in the
dairy room, much working of the
batter has come to be viewed as not
only unnecessary, but an absolute in
jury to the grain, and its finer quali
ties. The Indiana Farmer says: Many
advanced dairy people are of the
opinion that the butter worker" will in
the dear time become a feature of the
past, and its use altogether dispensed
with as it is well kndwn thit too
much working will spoil batter id its
finest form, destroying its solidity and
producing a salvy and unpalatable
condition. A correspondent in the
Ohio Farmer describes Kis plan" of
packing butter successfully without
working it at all. After thorough wash
ing in the churn, and the salt incorpo
rated, through the butter, with a
fork or butter paddle it is trans
ferred directly to the packages
in small Quantities, pressing- it
firmly down: tip the package
over to drain, as the Water accumu
lates on top of the batter, while pack
ing. Fill the crock or firkiris nlord
than even full, theri with a silk thread
cut the butter off td a level with the
edge of the package: This will leave
the granules exposed on the sdrface"
and the purchaser can see at a glance
that the package contains granular
butter instead of a salvy, worked-to-'death
compound of buttermilk rancid
cream, with a very little butter fat in
it If sure that the butter is such that
you can warrant it to be strictly gilt
edge, say so on a label fastened on the
package with your name and address.
This warrant is a wonderful stimulant
to urge one to do his best. The maker
stands out in fnll light, with nothing
to shield him from the consumer of his
batter. The consumer knows who
made the butter, and if as warranted,
more orders are sure to follow.
Two-Year01d Hens for Breeders.
There is no donbt that two-year-old
hens are preferable ta yearling pul
lets for breeding purposes, as the eggs
of the hens are larger. The chicks
coming from two-year-old hens' eggs
are likely to be stronger and more apt
to live. But hens two or three years
old will not lay so great a number of
eggs as will pullets in the first twelve
months they commence .to lay. If,
however, one has a choice lot of well
developed pullets and mated with a
vigorous two-year-old cock, do not
fear to set the cgs from them, but
do not use the earliest litters, as they
are not likely to give you as strong
chicks as the later ones.
The best laying hens, all things con
sidered, arc those one-year-old fowls
that are hatched the previous season
in March' or April consequently the
best plan for all fowl breeders is to
raise chickens every season to be the
layers of the next year and to kill the
old stock regularly every fall before
moulting or as soon as they cease to
lay.
Among our foremost breeders the
mating of vigorous twelve months'
old pullets to a good cock in his full
second year has given as good chicks
on the average as the mating of two-year-old
hens to a young cock. One
thing that may be depended on as a
rale, the most reliable breeding birds
that can be mated together as to the
age are those of one sex or the other
that are a year the oldest It is only
through repeated experiments that
the breeder can be able to select the
best pointed and finest specimens of
mating, and when this is accomplished
the most satisfactory results will fol

Household Helps.
Hot water is an excellent remedy for

Never use strong or rancid butter in
seasoning vegetables.
A correspondent asks what to do for
a fresh bunion. Try painting it with
iodine and wearing a loose shoe.
Headache, toothache, backache or
most any joint ache will be relieved by
heating the feet thoroughly with the
shoes on.
For a disagreeable breath, put a few
drops of tincture of myrrh in a tum

the mouth with it.

St. tbOfsj Dec. 15. The merchants
who have large holiday stocks of goods
to sell, pay handsomely for the ideas
their advertising agents give them.
The streets are crowded with people
ready to bny, and yet bewildered by
the allhring shows in the big windows
of every shop, and the tradesman who
holds the throng for a few minutes in
front of his plsee is sure to make
money by it This wee"fc onj merchant
got an idea that set his competitors at
their wits' tod to compete with him.
He had an enorinttas show window, ia
full view of the street, filled -with his
most attractive and expensive toys,
mechanical and otherwise, and put two
little boys in it All day long the
youngsters played with the figures,
winding them up and letting theul ran
out; shot at targets with guns and
bows and lay down and looked at
gorgeous picture-books. The street in
front was blockaded with people, and
inside the clerks were kept busy selling
the things with which the lads wero
playing. The idea has spread over the
town, and boys who like to play with
toys can easily get places in every one
of the shops no w.
Postmaster Harlow could have
ehosen ho better time than this, when
the mails are crowded with Christmas
presents, and the carriers worn out
with overwork, for the extension of
the street railway postal service he es
tablished some time ago.
St Louis is the only city in the coun
try that has such a thing, and the
Postmaster has no models to help
him. He started the system on a line
of electric cars, running twenty miles
east and west, and found that it saved
a score of carriers and several hours
in citv deliveries. He has now decided
to improve the system by adding a
cross-town line to it, so that the peo
ple living in the north and south will
get their mails quickly as well as
thns in the west and east The other
electric lines will be added to the sys
tem as fast as the government can be
induced to make the necessary appro
priations. The courts have just sustained the
boulevard law of the city, and the
effect is already seen in a great in
crease of the number of permits taken
out by builders for costly dwellings on
the broad avenues whieh'the law was
designed to protect from the intrusion
of business. No shop or structure in
intended for any commercial purpose
whatever can be built on the boule
vards. They are reserved entirely for
residences, churches and club-houses.
The tracks of the street railways
which have the right to run along the
boulevards pass along tho center, and
on each side, guarded from the tracks
bv a curb, is a driveway and a side
walk. Most of the boulevards have
besides; a double row of trees planted
along the middle. Vehicles and loot
passengers are protected additionally,
by the elevation of the car-tracks, the
whole railway roadbed being raised
about two feet from the level of the
