CLEANSE THE HANGERS.

The managers of horses, COWS and
oxen, when supplied with cut fodder
and meal, frequently become Often
sively sour, in consequence Of the de-
composition of the wet meal that ad-
heres to the corners of the feed-boxes.
This is apt to be the case especially
when animals do not lick the corners
entirely clean. If a small portion Of
feed is allowed to remain in the man
ger only portion of a warm day it
will become sour, and the offensive
efluvia will faint the entire manger,
so that an animal will often refuse to
eat his accustomed allowance, unless
compelled by keen hunger. The true
way to manage managers is, to scrape
the corners clean at least twice per
day, removing every particle of re-
jected food. Then, if the manger
does not smell as sweet as butter
bowl, let the corners be washed out
with hot water, wiped clean, and
handful of caustic Stacked lime be
sprinkled in the manger. If man
gers are kept clean they will seldom
become Extensively sour. If an ami
NAL leaves portion of his feed a new
mess should never be given on the re-
iected feed.-Neav York Herald.

Fishermen in some parts of En-
rope and of this country kill fish with
a knife or bludgeon as soon as they
are taken from the water, because
fish thus killed are found to be better
than those which have long gasped
and struggled before dying. The
Dutch, for example, destroy life by
making slight longitudinal incision
under. the tail with sharp instru-
ment. On the Rhine they kill sal
mon by thrusting steel needle into
their heads. Fish may be easily
killed by striking them a quick, sharp
blow with small stick on the back
of the head just behind the eyes, or
by taking them by the tail and strik-
the head quickly against any hard
substance.

AMERICAN WOODLANDS.

In discussing the distribution of
American woodlands, Professor Brow
er said that though Maine is the great
source Of pine and spruce lumber, the
hard wood species predominant IN that
State. The wooded area of New
England is not diminishing, but the
amount of sawed lumber is lessening
an indication that the trees are cut
younger. In the Middle States the
wooded area is sensibly and rapidly
becoming smaller. The New England
and Middle States furnish hard wood
trees: in the Southeastern States, from
Virginia to Florida, is belt of TIM
Der which supplies the hard and yel :
low pine; andt northwestern region
contains immense areas of common
pine. From the Gulf of Mexico to the
Arctic Ocean stretches a treeless area
three hundred and fifty miles wide in
it's narrowest part, and eight hundred
and fifty miles wide on our northern
boundary. West of this region is the
narrow wooded Rocky Mountain re-
gion, and west of this is the barren re-
gion Of the Great Basin. On the Pacific
coast are some Of the noblest forest
regions Of the world; and official Gov
eminent reports say that the forests
in some parts Of Washington Terri
tory are heavy enough to ''cover the
entire surface with cord-wood ten feet
in height" THE GALAXY for Novem-

TRANSMITTING EVERGREENs.

The operation Of transplanting is
very simple one, and there are none
Of the mysteries about it in which
many ignorant people believe. It's
success consists in preserving rs many
roots as possible on the three; never
allowing them to become dried ; max
ing the fresh soil in which they are
planted as nearly firm as can be to
that in which they were previously
growing, and preserving a sufficient
moisture in the new soil to insure
rapid root making. Mutilated roots,
like cuttings, will not make new roots
unless they have proper supply of
moisture, and not when in contact
with decomposlng manure of similar
materials. In reporting greenhouse
plants the case is different, as then
the roots are all intact (or should be-,
and they Immediately begin to absorb
the stronger plant food. But it is
impossible to remove a tree of any
usual size for transplanting without
in some degree depriving it of roots.
The more carefully, therefore, these
are retained and preserved the more
likely is the operation of transplant
ing to prove successful.-The Amerii-
can Garden.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.


AUOPGou ~ NA1nAoHPOASs SOpts AOCnS Ao5&s
We, misrepresentation of the Republican
party Of Minnesota, in State Convention as
sembled, do hereby adopt and declare the
following:
Resolred, That while reaf6rming the prin-
eiples and renewing the pledges enunciated
and given by the Republicano party in its
last State and National Conventions, and
recognizing the ability and general fidelity
which have mnrked both State and nation
al administrations in the discharge of the
public trusts respectively committed to
them, we can point with especial pride to
the firm maintenance of our foreign rela-
tons upon the basis of justice and right,
and such as has secured respect and friend
ship abroad and peace and confidence at
home; the judicious enforcement of all
laws having for their object the protection
Of all classes of our citizens both North and
South in their just, civil and political
rights, and the whole country against the
perils of instruction and new rebellion,
the preservation of the public faith and the
constant improvement of the public credit;
the reduction of the public debt and the
consequent removal of the burdens of tax
alton; the preservation of a sound currency
against any ruinous initiation inspired by
speculative interests, which may be hailed
as a sure guarantee of the earliest possible
return to specie payment consistent with
the just rig hts of both the debtor and credi-
tor classes of our people; and above all
the constant vigilance manifested in hunt
ing out and exposing to public condemna-
ton delinquent officials and corruption in
Office wherever and whenever found, re-
gardless of supposed party interests and
party relations, and the correction of all
abuses as fast as discovered its prompt re-
spouse to the popular demand by the repeal
Of the Congressional salary bill and other
obnoxious legislation, and its readiness to
grapple with new issues growing out of the
relations of corporate power, and produc-
tive industry by the Inauguration of meas
ures looking to the protection of the latter
against all unjust encroachments of the for
mer, and by the opening up of new and
cheaper channels of communication by wa
ter between the granaries of the West and
the markets of the East, as sure guarantees
that the grand old party that saved the
country is still true to the principles that
gave it birth, in hearty sympathy with the
popular will; able and willing to admins
ter the government in the interests of an
enlightened economy and a just regard to
the public welfare, and is worthy the conf
dence and support of the people. ~
RESOLVED, That we heartily approve of the
action of Governor Davis in relation to the
prosecution Of the persons charged by the,
report of the Senate committee With de-.
fauding the school fund. sS

Maid was foaled in Deckertown, NJ,
from a Messenger mare bought out of
a drove from Ohio, by Peter D. Deck
er. Sire a',kno,on. The Maid ran at
large until fiveyears old, without har-
ness or bride. She was then sold to
a lawyer named White, in Trenton,
N. j., for $3.50. He broke her, could
get no speed, and then sold her to
John 'McCarter, Newton, N. j., for
$500. McCarter had her less than a

took her to Orange county. She is

DARK STABLES,

There can be no doubt that light is
as important to the health of animals
as to man. We all know the exhil-
arating effect of sun light upon our
selves. We know that plants cannot
grow in healthy way without light,
and that in cellar where a
ray of light comes through crevice,
plants will stretch toward this light.
We should endeavor to render stables
pleasant for our animals, not only out
of motives Of kindness but from mo-
tives of interest. An animal will
thrive better on the same food in a
light cheerful stable than in dark
one. In building new barns, care
should be taken to arrange the stables
on the south or east side, so that direct
sunlight may be admitted. A stable
should be made as light as the living
room of house when this is done
cattle will not be anxious to get out
of the stable in winter. So little at
tention is paid to light that we often
find it painful to the eyes to go into
such stables. Many horses have un-
doubtedly lost their eyesight by being
taken from dark stables to the light.
The horse SHES at objects simply be-
cause Of the food of light thrown upon
its eyes. These sudden changes from
darkness to light soon produce blind
ness. We shall find it for our true
interests to study all the wants of our
animals.-Bu6alo Live Stock Jour-
nal.

For the benefit of those who are
obliged to use salt pork, the follow
ing plan improves it wonderfully: Cut
as many slices as will be required for
breakfast, the evening previous and
soak till morning in sweet milk and
water. Then rinse till the water is
clear, and fry. It is very nearly as
good as fresh pork. For change,
rolling it in corn meal is good imi-
tation of fresh fish.
