An Unjust Burden.
One of the clearest statements of the
"tax on Intelligence" involved In the
duty on news print paper on wood pulp,
the mw material of which is the busis
of all the white paper on which news
papers are now printed, is by the New
York Times in the following editorial.
The Times Bays:
"Bleached wood pulp pays a tarill tax
ot one-quarter of aceut per pound. Un
bleached pulp pBya one-twelfth of a
cent per pound if mechanically made,
and one-sixth of a cent per pound if
chemically made. Tho white paper
upon which newspapers are printed is
taxed three-tenthB of a cent per pound.

Is to enable American manufacturers of
Tiaper to charg1 a higher price for tnair

to 15 cents ad valorem. But a one cent

Improvement of Pasture.
For the best results In farming where
stock IB kept, whether of cows or other
animals, there should be good pasture.
The better they aie the better will the
results be. It the farm consists largely
of arable land, there will be less difli
culty in keeping the pasture In good
condition by changing often as needed
from pasture to meadow or back again.
This frequent cultivation and reseeding
will have a tendency to keep up a suit
able variety and quality of grasses that
will be the most protltuble for stock
feeding.
Nothing will stimulate a larger and
better secretion of milk than a good
bite from nutritious grasses.
But comparatively few farms contain
land that is mostly susceptible of cul
tion.
There will be a pieces here and there
that can be plowed, devoted to other
crops, fertilized, reseeded and again de
voted to grazing In a greatly Improved
condition and although it ma besome
work to fence out these pieces and thus
renovate them, yet it will be a paying
investment of time and labor. A neigh
boring farmer has been successful In
plowing such pleceB in the fall and sow
to winter rye and grass, along with
some kind of fertilizer, without taking
the trouble to tence the land. The rye
would protect the young grass to some
extent and furnish quite an amount of
early spring feed.
All land that with reasonable effort
or expense can be plowed can in this
way be very lunch Improved. Kven if
quite rough and strong, not allowing
of the best work, yet much benefit will
be realized from such cultivation as
can be fairly given.
lSut there IB much pasture land that

not pay to undertake to improve in
this way, still eomeltung may be done
to itake it better.
If covered with bushes or brakes,
frequent cutting will tend to subdue
them, but the work must be persistent
ly followed up to be of lasting benefit.
There is some pasture land that it
would be better to allow to grow up
to wood again, not being of much value
for anything else.
It is possible in Bome cases to beneiit
pastures by putting on a sharp toothed
barrow, either in spring or fall, when
the soil ts sulliciently moist and tear
the sod to pieces as much as possible.
Grass seed and some kind of fertilizer
should be put on ana lightly covered.—
Dairy and Creamery.
Raise Early Feed.
There are animals on every farm that
must stay there, the farmer needs them
in bis busim-Bs and it necessarily follows
tiiat they must bn fed. There are years
that it costs more to do this per week or
month than it does others and tins is
one of those exceptional years. All
over the west corn, the principal crop, is
scarce and high compared with what It
usually is, and all other grains whether
because of the scarce conditions or in
sympathy with it, are high, too. While
wheat may not be considered unusally
high In price, yet it becomes more ex
pensive than other grains usually are
the moment use is made of it in feeding
farm animals. On the very day the
farmer begins feeding from tbe new
crop, which will in all probabilty be
considerably less in price per bushel, he
will be keeping

dustrles for this necessary raw mat or

there are immense forests of spruce

The tax npoa the raw material of
which white paper is made IB paid dii
rectly by the newspaper publisher x

raises the price and then It I« paid bj
the people and thus becomes a direct
tax npoa the dissemination of intellE
gence.
animals cheaper.
Under theBe conditions then it ought to
be the aim of every farmer to grow a
certain amount of some quick matur
ing crops, the grain of which he can
feed to his work horses, brood sows, etcj
Oats fit this case fairly well, especial
ly so in regard to feed for the hotse
family and a small field, If not all of
that variety is wanted, can profitably
be sowed to Bome early maturing Bort,
the earlier the better.
There are,however, in the west local
ities where it is not considered profitable I
or possible, on uccount of natural condi
tions and certain peBts, to grow oatB
aud lor these lociilities another crop
will have to be or, perhapB, had better
bo substituted. In this case the practi
cal mind turns instantly to corn and we
pret ume many will plant a small tleld
very early just for the purpose of get
ting the grain as soon as possible for
Immediate use in feeding ordinary farm
animals and perhaps to fatten a small
bunch of shoats for an early market.
We feel In this esse that a recommen
dation to plant a small held to corn of
an early maturing sort is both logical
aud practical and under present circum
stances we believe it just the thing to
do as soon as the season arrives for
planting. With this end in view and
In order to be sure ol getting that
which will be as early as any, we would
if living far enough south in the corn
belt to make it an object to do so, send
north for enough seed to plant from
live to ten acres.
Then, too, there is tbe hog pastuer
which ail modern hog ralBers have come
to look upon as a necessity. If already
in clover, alfalfa or some other plant
that has survived the winter it should
be allowed to grow as fact as possible

should be given It, so It will grow all

Light Without Sight.
We cau "perceive" light without tho
smallest aid from the retina. If the
optic nerve is sufficiently excited to
reach the sensorium and create a dis
turbance at that center of the brain
where the optic nerve terminates, wo
shall then see light and sparks. If,
moreover, the optic nerve Is cut or mu
tilated in any way, wo should see a
brilliant Hash of light, though without
any sensation of pain. And so it
ith the other nerves- The auditory
nerve has only to be excited, uot nec
essarily by sound, so as to reach its
center, the brain, and we shall hear a
sound. How many ghosts might not
be destroyed in this way?—Chambers'

IndastrioaB Old Clock.'-
At quaint old Castletown, the "me
tropolis" of the Isle of Man, there ex
ists a very interesting clock, which has
now performed its functions of time
telling in five centuries. It was pre
sented by Queen Ullzabetb In tbe year
150T to Castle ltuslien, the fortress
which stands tn the middle of Castle
town, from which the town takes Its
name. The worts are crude, being
driven by ropes nn.l pulleys, but never
theless they keep f:iIr line. The clock.
In fact, has run ever since It was built,
except lor rare stoppages for repairs.
