These fats are older than Washington. Under
date OF May g. 1898, the Commissioners of the
city, in letter to Secretary Randolph. speak OF
'the banks in the Potomac" as making the
river an unsafe place for shipping. In book
published in 1894, Shafer speaks to the same
effect: he says the Washington channel was
ginia shore. Commerce sought Georgetown
and the Eastern Branch and left Washington
severely alone So much for history.
OF water in the Potomac has not increased since
1890 Measured In transverse section, the av-
erage volume Is about $4,000 cubic feet. We
ments in 1884, and repeatedly since that time,
including a very recent one; and the result is
always the same. Taking the Virginia channel
volume from $4,000 cubic feet, there is but a
small quantity for the Washington channel
and none at all for the space occupied by the

existed In 1900 substantially as they are now.
The first Long Bridge was built 10 1SOS-'9; 1t
was burnt In 1884, and the present Long Bridge
was built in 1S34-'5. It's piers and cauSeway
have added less to the flats than is generally
supposed. The transverse section OF the river
at that point, made In 1884, does not greatly
differ from the recent one. The natural
channel OF the river has always been where it
Is now. 1t never was west Of AnaloStan Island.
Before 1854 there was shallow, SwaSh char
rel there; but the eastern channel was ex-
clusively used for the shipping. In the spring
1Ieshet OF that year the water and ice tore out
the west channel, making 1t nearly 80 feet deep.
1t SO remained until 1905, when Georgetown, by
contract with General Mason, built the cause
way from AnalOstan Island to the Virginia
shore. That causeway was swept away In the
freshet Of 1852, but 1t was rebuilt by George
town, and has been often repaired by that city
and the District. (See JackSon'S History OF
GeOrgetOwn.)
shafer, in l7s4, says the Virginia channel was
the principal one. This must be taken for
granted In any reasoning about Improvements
OF the river. The engineer who advocates turn
ing the Potomac into the Washington channel
aid out Of the Virginia channel, where nature
has placed 1t, advocates what no engineer has
ever permanently accomplished, d,-diverttng
mighty river. from short course, into long
one. This project Is too visionary to deserve
discussion. II there is to be but one channel the
Virginia must be that one. B.

Care of Harness.

THERE are few people who know how
to take proper care of harness, and
who understand the extent of the dam
age that arises from carelessness in its
use. Harness that has been exposed to
a storm for hours if not rightly cleaned
and hung up when it is taken off will be
irreparably damaged. The Harness
Journal advises every harness manu-
facturer to give printed copy of rules
for the preservation of the article to
each purchaser. 1t also gives the fol-
lowing valuable suggestions, which, if
followed, will keep harness looking nice
for many years: The first point to be
observed is to keep the leather soft and
pliable; this can be done only by keep
ing it well charged with oil and grease;
water is destroyer of these, but mud
and the saline moisture from the ami
NAL are even more destructive. Mud
in drying absorbs the grease and opens
the pores of the leather, making it a
ready prey to water, while the salty
character of the perspiration from the
animal Injuries the leather, stitching
and mountings. 1t therefore follows
that to preserve a harness the straps
should be oiled whenever it has been
moistened by sweat or soiled by mud.
To do this effectually the straps should
all be unbuckled and detached, then
washed with a little water and good
soap, then coated with a mixture of
neatsfoot oil and tallow, and be allowed
to remain undisturbed until the water
has dried out; then thoroughly rubbed
with wooden rag; the rubbing is inn
portant, as it, in addition to removing
the surplus oil and grease, tends to
close the pores and gives finish to the
leather. In hanging harnesses care
should be taken to allow all straps to
hang their full length; brides, pads,
gig saddles and collars should be hung
upon forms of the shape of each. Light
is essential in the care of leather, and
when the harness closet is dark the door
should be left open at least half of the
time during each day. All closets
should be ventilated, and when possible
they should be well lighted. To clean
plated mountings use a chamois with .
tripoli or rotten stone, but they should
be secured as little as possible. Rub
Der covered goods are cleaned in the
same way. Leather covered needs to
be we'll brushed and rubbed with a
wooden rag. If a harness is thoroughly
cleaned twice a year. and when unduly
exposed treated as we have recon-
mended, the leather will retain its soft
ness and strength for many years.

How to Make a Meadow.

HAVING been absent from home for
some time, and having given attention
to other business, must confess negli-
gence in delaying writing for your val
liable paper so long. Mr.. w. j. Man.
ley asks for Information as to the best
mode to get a meadow for hay. Iwould
say, If it is not convenient for him to
run smoothing harrow over the rye
field in early spring, as the Rural ad-
vised, he can sow his timothy and
clover seed on the snow about the latter
part of winter. Select time when the
wind does not blow, and by sowing on
q soft snow he can sow very evenly,
and need no stakes. When the snow
melts and the spring rains fall, they
will cover the seed sufficiently, and
doubtless he will get good stand.
think no grass equal to timothy for
hay, and timothy meadows are valuable
for late fall and winter pasture. With
timothy seed at present prices ($1. .25 per
busheD it would be economy to seed
down more land and raise less grain.
The best piece of meadow ever had,
I prepared the ground the last OF July,
sowed eight quarts timothy and half or
one-third of pint of turnip seed to the
acre (one-fourth pint of turnip seed is
sufficient, if it all comes.) gathered
the turnips, and the ground was green
all winter. had quite little crop of
hay the following harvest. This think
the best way to seed, as the turnip
leaves protect the young shoots of grass
from the August sun, and all the small
turnips left on the ground over winter
aid in protecting the young grass
through winter, as the leaves winter
kill.
1 think every well improved farm
should have a clover field for pasture.
1 have never tried anything that made
so cheap food for young stock, and no
crop seemed to enliven the soil so
much as a crop of green clover. plow-
ed under in early autumn. l do not
advocate mixing clover and timothy as
some do, but for cows the clover would
furnish two crops the same season; but
mixing clover with timothy hay DAM
ages It for market, and for home use
Gn my estimation) clover hay should
be cut as soon as the seed is wholly
formed. If stacked out doors put in
round stacks with rail bottoms, with
three rails set in centre of stack. Set
flooring at bottom and tie together at
top, forming an air space through the
centre.-Rural World.
