TIE VALUE OF WATER FOR
COWS.

Cows should have access to water at all
times, especially cows that give milk.
They want to drink often and return to
their feed. The best stable, and one in
which stock do the best, is one where
water is always running in through
troughs before the cattle. Thus manag
ed cows may be kept up to full flow of
milk either winter or summer, and for
this reason, i the pasture fails from
drouth, it may be supplanted with other
feed, but q failure of water cannot be
remedied. SO in winter cows that are
only vatered once day, as many do who
consider themselves good farmers, the
COWS shrink in their milk and it can never
be regained. The same rule Will hold
good in the stable; abundant feed may
be supplied, but if the water supply fails,
the profit will be nil.
The necessity of plenty of pure water
for stock is one of the first importance to
breeders and feeders. 1t must not only
be in abundance, but it should be in such
supply that stock may either take it at
will, or if supplied at stated times it
should be offered at leasts twice day,
aud three times will be better. No ami
NAL canthrive properly that has access
to water but once day. Every good
feeder knows this, and hence in al, large
feeding establishments the greatest care
Is taken to keep the supply ample and
constant. Many farmers neglect this,
and always to their cost. If water can
not be had near in any other way, wells
should be dug. and the water raised by
wind or other power as the case may be.
Having plenty of wafer, see that the
stock get it as regularly as they feed. It
will pay. Remember that animals should
be treated well in order to thrive proper
ly. We are familiar with the troubles
incident to the neglect of regularity in
food and drink with the human body and
the consequences are somewhat analogous
for cur caftle.-Eh.

"ICEE WAGON COME NEXTEE." "

Some time ago the club of the Uni
verse" was visited by terrible thunder
storm, accompanied by well developed
sample of the Kansas tornado. Many
lives were lost amongst the shipping
along the Massachusetts, coast, and es-
pecially in Boston harbor. The damage
10 glass in the city was very heavy. The
next day after the storm, one firm on
Canal street reported the sale of two
thousand panes of glass. The whole
performance was without precedent in
the memory of the oldest inhabitant.
The startling appearance OF the sky
previous to the bursting OF the shower
warned travellers and pedestrians to seek
cover. Among the many careless ones
caught out in the storm was Geo. B,
young reporter. He was caught by
the shower on Hanover street, and step
ped into doorway to wait until the
heaviest was over
He had company in the doorway
There were two Chinese "washee-wash-
ees' from Howard street, and several
less queue-rious looking individuals, all
OF whom, it would be safe to say, had
not for long time back had any very
intimate relations with laundry.
The rain fell in torrents, and very soon
great hail stones struck the sidewalk and
rebounded few feet in the air. Rush
ing out in the storm, the enthusiastic
reporter got several specimens, drew
tapeline from his pocket, measured them
carefully, and recorded the figures in his
memorandum book.
Repeating this operation several times,
he attracted the attention of some young
clerks in the offices up stairs, who broke
off large chunks from the block in the
ice-cooler, and threw them out, when the
reporter measured them carefully, as be-
fore, and recorded the result.
Everybody in that doorway was awe
struck at the size of the hail stones, and
the Cinnamon were exhibiting eyes of an
unusual roundness and prominence
One of the chaps in the Office accidentally
dropped the balance of the block of ice
from which the monstrous hail stones
had been Clipped, and it came down and
landed on the sidewalk with great crash.
1t must have weighed over twenty
pounds, and scattered the water right and
left.
Just at this instant came that awful
crash of thunder that startled every one
who heard it, and of which the papers
spoke next day. This was too much for
John Chinaman. They both ran yelling
up the street In the driving storm, the
last one saying. as he cleared the door
way: "Whoopee up heIlee! Icee wagon
come nextee Good bye, Johnee!"

SUCH A RAILROAD!

The Callao, Lima, Oroya Railroad,
generally known as the Trans-Andine
Line Railroad, is probably the most won
derful railroad IN existence. 1t was con-
structed by Henry Meiggs in 1869 at a
cost of S21, $4,000, or S27,OOO,OOC ID
bonds. Work was begun in January,
1870. When commenced, the English
company had got the right of way from
Callao to Lima, and he could get no spe-
cial rates for his material. The enor-
nous cost OF freighting everything for
his road would make it ruinous to build.
One day there suddenly appeared hun
dreds of men evidently making railway
from Lima to Callao. The English COM
pany went to see about it, and then got
an injunction to stop the work. Mr.. M.
calmly asked them whose land the work
men were on, and then they found that
he had quietly bought up all that land,
and was building private road on his
own grounds for his own use. Leaving
Callao the road is In the finest condition.
Ballasted with cobble- stones, no dust
arises; trains every half hour, and the
fare is 40 cents; four separate depots to
accommodate different parts of the city.
No one who makes round trip on the
road ever repents it, and seldom desires
a second. The nights and distances are
so great that few heads are not affected.
From San Mateo to Ancbi the road
passes the Infermillos. Nearly perpen-
dicular walls from 1000 to 8, 1000 feet hem
in the river Rimac, having width of
from 200 to 400 feet. At first it was pro-
posed to make cut in the side of the
mountain, but, fearing the fall of rocks,
it was decided to tunnel. Miners were
let down with ropes one quarter and one
half mile long to certain indicated points
on the rocky wall every 500 feet OF less,
and after they had entered few feet be-
gan working to the right and left, using
the entrance from which to throw exca-
waited material. About midway bend
III the river made it necessary either to
make a dangerous curve or span the
chasm. The latter was chosen, and now
bridge unites the two tunnels about
400 feet from the bed of the river. Em
crying from the second of these tunnels
at Anchi, the river is recrossed and the
road follows up the river Blanco few
miles, which it crosses and then enters a
mountain, where it turns around in a
curved tunnel, and, emerging few hun
dred feet above, recrosses the river and
returns and passes Anchi and continues
up the river Rimac. At Chicla, few
miles further, the road passes the town,
returns, crosses its own track and the
Rimac, returns and again doubles on it
self, having passed Chicla more than five
times

WOULDN'T MARRY IN HASTE.

In one of Michigan's interior towns
live couple known as the "Siamese
Twins. They are always together. No
one in the village ever remembers seeing
one unaccompanied by the other. They
go to church together, they split wood
together, they walk the streets together
and they fight together. Not long ago,
after severe battle. gentleman said to
the feminine twin:
''Sarah Jane, why do you pummel
your unprotected husband so? Think
how bad You would feel if he would die. :"
"Oh," said Sarah Jane in tone that
showed that the matter was settled in her
mind, ''we will die together. We made
that arrangement when we were married.
You see John Henry was married before,
and seven days after his first wife died
he came to me and asked me to marry

REVENUE TARIFF.

In the Prairie Farmer of Oct. % the
attention of the farmers is called to the
tariff question, and 1 was glad to note at
the close of the article, More anon. -
Ii is to be hoped the campaign of 1880
will secure to every man free vote and

that are without vital issues; break up
the solid South anl consequently the op-
position of the North, and that hereafter
economic questions will be considered.

o. If manufacturers can compete with
foreigners in their own countries, why
cannot they compete with them in this
country, with what protection a revenue
tariff affords3 All talk of tariff to pro-
tect agriculturists seems to belittle us
and challenge our intelligence.
Our surplus and export of wheat in
1S79was about 900, 900, 900 bushels, near
ly two.ffths of the entire crop. Our
surplus of cotton is 4,00O, 900 bales, more
than double what we use at home, about
l, 500, 900 bales.
Co. Our total of exports for 1879 was
$3.50, 900; mostly agricultural pro-
ducts, and from the unprotected indus
tries of the country. The question is
not protection; neither how much can we
raise; but how much can we selll The
market for the farm products of the Uni
ted States is found in the markets of the
world. The price of wheat and cotton
on the Mississippi river to-day is the
price in Liverpool less the cost of trans
portation. ID Let us farmers remem-
ber that we must compete with 200, 000,-
900 inhabitants bordering on the Medi-
terranean Sea, and that they can place
cargo of wheat or any other farm product
in Liverpool or Paris at less cost for
transportation than the farmers of the
Mississippi Valley with our own present
facilities. As the agriculturists and other
unprotected laborers compose more than
one-half of the population of the United
States, and must use their brain and
muscle to compete with the pauper labor
of Europe, Asia, and Africa; and as their
interests are the same, East and West,
North and South, it will be well for them
to consider this tax question and see
whether a revenue tariff is not sufficient

Captain Kidd arrived at this point in
January, 1897. In the following year,
rumors reached England, that the dar-
ing commander himself had become a
pirate.
In April, 1899, Kidd landed in the
West Indies, in ship named Quidah
Merchant, which he anchored in lagoon
at the southeast end of Hayti, and then
sailed northward with but forty of his
crew. The sloop in which he sailed was
the San Antonio, of fifty five tons. He
made landing in Delaware bay, sailed
along the coast to Long Island Sound,
going into Oyste- Bay. Here he en-
ployed lawyer, James Emott, whom he
landed at Rhode Island, with instructions
to visit Earl Bellamont, now governor of
the colonies, who resided in Boston.
The object of the visit was to sound the
governor and see how he would receive
Kidd. During Emott's absence, Kidd
buried many bales of goods and consid-
erable treasure on Gardner's island.
The interview between the lawyer and
Bellamont was not very satisfactory to
Kidd, rs evasive answers were given to
Emott's questions. However, by an art
fully-worded letter, Bellamont induced
Kidd to come to Boston, where he land
ed July l, 1899. Here he underwent an
examination, and WAS sent to England
When brought to trial, he was most un-
fairly dealt with, not being allowed to
send for papers or witnesses, which might
have proved his innocence. He denied
the charges against him to the last; and,
in referring to the murder of William
Moore, he declared that the death was
not intentional. Moore was mutinous,
and Kidd, as his officer, attempted to
force obedience, when an alteration took
place, and the Captain caught up buck
ct to defend himself, when too well di.
rected blow caused the death of the sail
or. But in the case of the daring cap
tain, his able defense OF his course was
of no avail, and he and nine associates
were led to the scafold, May "a, 170l.
They were hanged at Execution dock,

The treasure and bales of goods buried
at Gardner's island were secured, and the
value of the whole was fourteen thousand
pounds.
Bellamont fitted out ship to go to the
West Indies to secure the vessel left in

came to him that the men left on board
