Independently. By the time, however,
the procession had reached round to the
square upon the first turn the forces ofthe
King had assembled and Joined in. The
accession. in the way of vehicles and Pc
destrisns about the front Of Leubrie's
store and in the vicinity of Madison
street, were equal IN extent to the siZs Of
original procession. The greatest linear
display wss made passing the Peabody
hotel going down Main. Indeed, so long
and so various wSs the motley crowd
about that time that fully an hour was
spent in concentrating at Union street.
THE HEAD Of THE PROCESSION.
was composed OF borsemen, representing |
various orders of MsGi8val knights in
splendid costume and well mounted. |
Then came the band also In masks, prin-
elpslly as women. They kept making
A-TREMRNDoUs NOISE
the whole evening. They carried a small
forest of sticks, the end Of each bearing a
torch. They were scattered so as to take
MP and sweep the street as they passed, |
This crowd enjoyed a wild revel. Dancing
was made part Of their amusement. A
person Of classic taste was carried back to
the days of Scipio Africsnus when the
Legion was most perfect in the physic
dance. Those boys with their brszsn
trumpets and pssteboard swords and pill
ums and hefty battle axes danced alopg
the NicolsOn pavement with as much
gsiety and plsesure IS IL they were going
into 8 bloody bsttle within half an hour.
H-oRN-rooFERs,
Following these martial heroes came a
bard of horn. tooters. who appeared to
enjoy thsir amusement with huge gusto
and succeeded In making 9 noise, unlike
anything that wss ever heard on earth.
HEAD LIGHT.
The calcium light which was designed
for the head of the procession came in
this point. Il was situated on the pin
scle of a column twenty feet high and,
IKE Janus, faced both ways. The wagon
was hled with masked folks, dressed up
81 small devils, bull-frogs, storks, catfish
and ComaDche Indians.

Feeding Cattle.

In Orange county, New York, milk
commanding better prices, the cattle are
fed higher than elsewhere. Some mill feed
or corn meal is generally given in Sum
mer, always in Winter. Brewers grains
and sprouts are largely used; little drill
ed corn is fed in Summer, when pastures
are failing. In Winter fodder and hay
are fed everywhere. The use of drilled
corn for Winter fodder is general, but the
use of it for Summer food is not customa-
ry as yet, though increasing. Roots are
fed in Central New York considerably;
also in Massachusetts, and Connecticut
Preference is given to sugar beets as better
than turnips. Turnips should never be
fed to dairy cows, for they viii impart a
disagreeable favor to milk and butter.
The vast majority Of dairy farmers confne
their cattle to pasture on the native grass
in Summer, and hay and corn fodder in
Winter, with little grain or roots in early
Spring to ''bring them in, and put them
to grass in fair condition. No variety of
grasses is produced. | have seen only one
field Of lueerne; no Italian or rye grass or
millet or orchard grass, though no doubt
some little is grown; yet clover, timothy,
and the native grasses are the ''stand-bys"
On very few places some rye is grown
for early green food. 1t is not economy,
neither IS it good farming, to permit stock
Of any kind to become thin of flesh in the
Winter, for the want of sufficient food.

Ihf farmer.
To the Farmers Of Carroll. {


The subjoined communication from one
Of the most spirited and enterprising far
mers of Carroll county, is designed to
awaken a more lively interest among agri-
eulturists in this county in all that relates
to their common welfare, and to induce
them to unite in the formation Of Farmers
Clubs in every district.
We adopt the suggestion contained in
his article, and solicit contributions from
the pens of our farmers to this department
Of the ADVOCATE. Il shall be devoted to
their interests--the interests Of Agricul-
ture, Horticulture, Stock and Dairy farm
ing, and whatever subjects the farmers may
desire to treat of or write about. We ask
our farmers 70 send Us for Publication let
tiers upon al subjects relating to the in
terests Of Agriculture. We win take
pleasure in spreading them before our
readers. # 1915 tHHt
Our correspondent, below, touches upon
a subject Of great importance to farmers
the middle-men or eommission-men-who
receive and sell farm products, and reap a
large share Of the profits Of the farmers
industry. If farmers will combine they
can regulate this matter for themselves.
and prevent so large a share of their pro
fits from being diverted to the benefit Of
Others. We know what it is to suffer from
this cause. A few years ago, when prae-
tically engaged in agricultural pursuits, il
cost US just fourteen eeass per bslShel to get
our corn to market, in freight, weighing,
commissions, &c Other articles were sent
to market at proportional outlay. Every
farmer has had this kind Of experience, to
a greater or less extent If they would
combine they would be able to regulate
these charges for themselves, and suhserve
their own interests by so doing. Let the
farmers awake from their lethargy and
take their interests into their own hands.
Their commission agents for the sale Of
their grain, milk, butter, hay, and other
products, as well as for the purchase Of
their fertilizers and all other supplies, need
to be brought more in accord with them.
II is their own fault, if i, be not done, for
they have the power, by union among
themselves, TO control these matters more
to their own interests. Let us hear from
them upon these subjects

An Excellent varnish.

To make an excellent varnish for har-
ness, procure half pound or a pound Of
gumshellac, according to the quantity de-
sired; break the scales fine and put them
in a jug or bottle; add good alcohol sufFi-
Gent to cover the gum; cork tightly and
place where il will be kept warm. In two
days, If shaken frequently, the gum viii
be dissolved and ready for use If the Ii
quid appears as thick as thin molasses add
more alcohol. To one quart of yarnish
add one ounce Of gum eamphor. Such

Fall--let them iall around;
Fall on the reddening ground
Fail, a we fall away from life's sere tree
Into tbs ocean Of eternity
Lost, swallowed up and drowned.
Fail, though the sun Is high,
And bright and blue the sky,
Yet every soughing wind its myriads sends,
Falling, stiil falling, as false hearted friends
Incur adversely.
Yet while they tall, still fall,
A bonnier light than all,
A blaer sheen than yon autumnal sky.
Shines on me as feel thy lose.lit eye
Dispel my beings thrall.
We walk, these leaves above,
Thy soh voice, like the dove,
Low marmuring; or when the woods among,
On morn Of Valentine, the wild bird song
Whispers her mate Of love.
So let them fall away,
Friends Of the summer day,
False friends, who cannot bear affection sway;
know the love that liveth in thy breast
win never faIl away.
Neveri Not even when
Beyond earth's narrow ken,
Like dead leaves fluttering in the autumn tide
Wetwo have passed, our love shall still abide
Shall have grown perfect then.

How To Make PAGERS.

In Barbary, pacing horses are held in
such high estimation that the method Of
making spirited trotter shackle like a
boat in chop sea is reduced to science.
To make him rack easily ring of lead
covered with leather is put around each
hoof; e cord from each weight ascends
and is fastened TO the saddle, front and
rear; next, a strap runs horizontally from
the fore to hind foot on both sides Being
rather short, it is impossible to make a
long step. Restraint eompels the animal
