The RICHEST HAY.-Grass made into
hay in such manner US to retain the
most possible Of all its natural juices,
makes the richest and best hay. In
order to do this 1t should be exposed to
the sun as little as possible, as a bright,
clear sun Is very apt to burn, and thus
reduce quality. Hay made in the shade
comes the nearest to natural grass; but
this Is impracticable. The nearest ap-
proach is either to cure in the COCK,
with hay caps, or by constant, frequent
stirring with the tedder; thus curing
in the air more, and Stunning small por-
tiops only. One days curing is sntfi-
Client, provided the air is dry and dry
ing, where the grass is dry when cut,
and does not yield over two and one
half tons Of dry hay to the acre. If to
be- left out over night, it should be
rakcd and put into cocks while yet
warm: before any dew begins to fall In
the afternoon. The time when mois-
ture begins to collect in che att ternoon Is
earlier than most persons are aware Of ;
therefore 1T is best to be in season.

NEVER allow hen to sit in a nest
that has been used for months with
out overhauling. When she gets
broody, give her new, clean nest.
Examine the box to sec whether there
are any lice In the corners. Whether
any are found or not it is safe thing
to treat it as if they were discovered to-
be IN possession. Let a little coal-oil
run down the corners inside; then give
1t thorough whitewashing. e. A hen
set in nest prepared thus Is insured
against lice until the brood Is out, af-
ter which the whole nest and box Is TO
DO again overhauled and treated ex-
actly as If it were very lousy. TOO
many are careless in this matter.
They complain Of lice but do not ex-
ercise sufficient vigilance to keep them
away. 1t is much easier to keep them
or than to drive them away after they
have once got possession. Lousy hen
quarters are not profitable, nor are they
creditable. Clean out the lice!

FARM AND GARDEN.

DAMPNEss IN HOUSES. Many house,
holders are sOrely troubled by the
growth of fungi in damp rooms, to
which they communicates, in short
timo, an unpleasant smell and an un-
wholesome atmosphere. 1t is not only
our cellars that are apt to be affected by
fungoid growth, but the walls Of the
adjacent rooms, and many bed rooms on
the ground floor are similarly rendered
useless after a moist season. Many re.
medies have been proposed to destroy
this fungoid growth, or to prevent It's
occurrence; but hitherto these remedies
have been TOO expensive or totally
inefticacious. Recently an alcoholic
solution Of five grammes Of salicylic
acid per litre OF water for washing the
walls Of rooms has been recommended. -.
This Is exactly one-half per cent, or
one part salicylic acid Tor 200 parts
liquid. No doubt the mold may be de
stroyed temporarily by this as by many
other solutions, such, tor instance, as
corrosive sublimate or carbolic ncid.
The true remedy, however, Is not this
temporary expedient, nor attempting
to hide the dampness by enamel paints,
ete. 1t is to cut oil the source of moist
ure and to put the waterproof materials
outside and not inside the walls.

The Presidential campaign is fairly
opened in the Republican camp. The
first struggle is to be for the control OF
the State conventions, which appoint
the delegates to the National Nominat-
ing Convention at Chicago. In TACT the
State conventions may do the whole
business, leaving the Chicago Conven-
ton nothing but the duty Of ratifying
their action. 1t has got TO be consid-

favored by an early holding Of the State
conventions. and therefore Senator

from defendants pistol. He said if
there was no testimony toestablish which
of two conditions exist, the presump-
ton must always be in favor of defend
ant. He stated that the reason why
they did not measure more than thirty
feet from the bridge in the direction of
the brush where Moore and Asher tes-
tilted defendant told them Tuhy lay in
ambush, was that they never heard
until after the measurements had been
made that Tully had been more than
thirty feet from the bridge when he
attacked defendant. He said the de-
PENDANT did not pretend to give correct
description of the ARRAY, as it did not
last minute and he was very much ex-
cited at the time; he could not tell, and
did not pretend to know, how far he was
from the bridge when the attack was
made by Tully. He emphasized the
testimony of young Tully that there
were three loads in his fathers pistol,
and the prosecution account only for
one of them. He explained the testi-
mony of defendant relative to the man
ner in which his pistol was loaded, by
showing that one of the bullets, from the
chambers which had been loaded with
two charges Of powder, went crashing
through Tully's head and imbedded
itself in the timbers of the bridge,
while a conical shaped bullet, from a
chamber loaded with one charge of
powder only, went through Tully's arm,
and did not make a mark on his body.
Counsel argued, from testimony of de-
PENDANT and other circumstances, that
Tully was standing when shot, and
could not have been lying on the bridge,
as asserted by the prosecution. The
argument of counsel was ingenious in
many respects, but it requires consider
able ingenuity to explain away the evil
dence of three witnesses who saw de-
| PENDANT fire three or four shots, at least
two of which must have hit Tully.
