rREsEayING PASTURES.

PRESERVING PASTURES.
 Among many propositions to renoyate the pasture, one has been overlooked management It is the cheapest and most practical manure on the farm. The common plan is to have but one pasture, upon which the cattle must graze at all times. If it comes to the bare sod dur ing the seasons of extreme drought the stock must continue to grub at the sod for want of better. This exposes the roots of the grass to the sun and iniures or destroys the plant. Suppose we use our trees and shrubs in that way, the detriment to growth would at once be apparent. A good top on grass for growth is necessary as upon trees.
 That 100 acres of land in two pastures will keep one-third more stock than the same number of acres in one pasture has long been known to the practical farmer The reason is that the stock can be re- moved before it has grazed the pasture too closely, before the roots of the grass are uncovered. i plan that will reno yate hundreds of pastures in Iowa is this: Let the grass have good start in the spring, say four inches, before turning on the stock and change pastures as often as the pasture appears to be closely grazed.-Prof. Knapp iia HomeSiead.
 HENS AND EGGS.
 Light Brahmas, says a writer in the KdaSdS Farmer, as rule, lay 150 eggs in one year. They will lay 100 of that number between the first day of Decem- Der and the first of June. My bullets, as a general rule commenced laying at six months old-that is, if they are hatched March, they will commence laying in Augustand continue to lay all winter with proper care. Now, do not state this as mere guess work, but from actual experi- ence with this breed of fowls for several years. The Leghorn fowl will lay the largest number of eggs in a year of any fowl l know of but if they lay in the winter season you must have very warm place for them They will lay ITO eggs in year, or 20 more than the aver age Brahma, but they will lay the largest share of this number in the summer sea- son, while the Brahma is attending to other duties, either sitting on her nest or bring up her numerous family. The Legl,Orus, being non-sitters. can put in their spare time laying the extra 20 eggs, which usually are worth , or 6 cents per dozen this season of the year. One other point I wish to make is that Brahma eggs will weigh seven to pound, while it will take eight of the Leghorns. This of course does not make any difference in their market value so long as they are sold by the dozen, but for home use it certaily does. am well aware there are those who think it is all in the feed. and not in the breed. I know that feed of the proper kind and served up in good shape has a good deal to do with it, but not so much as some believe. You may have the best of breeds, and leave them to get their feed the best they can and roost in the trees, and l am very certain they would not shell out many eggs if the weather was any thing like it has been this winter.

Every farmer should be able to make repairs on his wagons, gates. and buildings.

Pennsylvania Prohibitionists.

day. Delegates to the number of forty five,
representing twenty-five counties, were in at
tendance. James M. Wilson was nominated
for State treasurer. The platform recognizes
the providence of God in the establishment and
maintenance of government; sets forth that all
citizens who render obedience to the proper
demands of the State are entitled to protection
of personal rights, denounces the refusal of
the State Senate to allow the people to decide
upon the question of prohibition, affirms that
the only effective means of prohibiting the
liquor traffic is by separate party
organization; that all Christian features Of
government should be sacredly maintained;
condemns the policy of raising revenue by the
crimes of the people and price of blood; that
in no case will a candidate affiiliatlng with
license systems be supporters: favors civil
service reform and protective tariff; opposes
selling convict labor, polygamy and monopo-
les, and closes by favoring com pulsory edu-

not only direct source of danger from pain

portance that the patients constitutional Wig

any cause for immediate alarm. But until

DIR. Boynton says the patient is getting bet
ter every day, and Will be out of bed in ten
days. The regular physicians are more guard
ed, and are content with saying the President
is doing nicely.
NEW DRAINAGE TUBES.
DR.. Hamilton brought with him new drain
age tubes, made specially for the Presidents
wound. Heretofore the drainage tubes have
had several perforations for the purpose of
drawing off the pus along the whole track of
the bullet, so far as the tube can reach, but
the course of the missile has been such that
the flexible tube could not be sent to the ex-
treme depth. Now, It is not consid-
cred necessary to have more than
two perforations at the sides, near
the inner oriice, which is also open.
This will enable the surgeons to inject dis
infectants far down into the wound, without
wasting any force by the liquid escaping by
the other holes nearer the mouth of the
wound. A flexible metal rod is to be made to
fit the interior of this tube, so as to cause If to
turn at an angle in the wound, and when the
metal rod is withdrawn to leave the rubber
tube at the desired angle. By this instrument
it is expected more clearly to drain away the
pus from the deeper portions of the track and
prevent the formation of pus cavities. Other
instruments have also been ordered, the
nature of which it is not deemed advisable yet
to state, but which are said TO be for the deter
minatlon of the exact position of the bullet.

he felt decidedly better, and expressed desire
for more solid food. He also felt stronger,
and asked to be propped up in bed awhile,
which was granted by the surgeons, and for
half an hour or so, supported by pillows, he
sat up nearly erect in bed This change of
position gave him considerable relief, and on
lying down again he fell asleep. All three
bulletins today showed satisfactory progress,
and feeling of confidence in his recovery

Herman 8. SarOni's Furnace-A Great Fuel
Saver.
Those who have known Professor II. e..
Saroni at all intimately are aware that for
years he has been devoting great deal of
time and money TO certain improvements cor
nected with plans to utilize petroleum and its
products for fuel. His contract to furnish
lights for the outlying portions of the city,
where the gas company has no mains, and his
steam traction wagon, have only
been by-plays in the great invention
that he has been working out to practical
consummatlon. His grand idea of utilizing
naptha, combined with steam and air, as fuel,
seems about to be realized. Several of the
most astute railroad and mechanical engin-
eers in st. Paul and Chicago have examined
his patent ''Hydro-Carbon Furnace I'm
provement," and have expressed, first aston
ishment, then confidence that he has "struck

chanics. Prof. Saroni has been so confident
that he bought from the st. Paul foundry a
twelve horse power boiler and portable engine
this week, and had it removed TO his "den"
on Cedar steeet, between Sixth and Seventh,
and every day now from 1Oa. m. to p. M,
and from 2 to 6p. m. he has on a full head of
steam and makes the machine "hum.'
Railroad and steamboat men and practical
engineers crowd into the shop to see the won-
der working invention.
1t gets up steam quicker, makes hotter
hell in the fire box, and can be the most
quickly shut off or turned to an intense white
heat, of any fire ever seen in these parts.
We understand that Professor Saroni, after
giving all the critics full opportunity TO ex-
anime, expose, explore and condemn his in.
vention, will go to Chicago and subject it to
the most rigid tests as to economy, safety, etc.
Several of the largest railroad corporations
in the country have placed locomotives at his
disposal to make practical demonstration of
the economy of his new patent in operating
locomotives in actual transportation.
He claims it to be cheaper and safer, and it
is absolutely free from any dust or smoke, the
combustion being perfect. We are told
that he wants any practical engineer
who desires to expose any weak points in his
invention to come to the shops, see the engine
run, and test the heat, and he proposes to
operate the portable engine at his shop
from 10 a. N. to p. M, except during
dinner hour, from to Q p. IN. We would
not be surprised if his invention goes into all
steam threshing machines, stationary boilers,
and steamboat and railroad boilers, within
twelve months. Practical tests will prove il
great or q very worthless invention,
speedily.

previous trips, the Gem came in full of people
and good freight, inclu ding some fifty head
of horses, purchased by Mr.. D. w. Wood
mansee for the United States cavalry service.
The change.in the hour of departure above
mentioned, is due to the fact that Commodore
Davidsan had decided to put the War Eagle,
heretofore in the KeOkuk trade, to alternate
with the Gem City in weekly trips
between st. Paul and st. Louis, the
Gem leaving here at 8 a. m.
Saturday, and the War Eagle at the same hour
Monday morning. Abiding to this new de-

He is sparing no expense to make her beauty,
and the Gem City and War Eagle will swing

The Trunk Line War

NEW YORK, July 29.-An armistice has ap-
parently been established to-day in the war on
passenger rates between the railroad COM
panies leading out of the city. It's purpose is
not yet clear, but certainly it is an armed
truce, fo- each of the companies have scouts
watching the operations of others, and at the
first evidence of any attack on the lines will
make flank movement. The brokers
or scalpers have not abandoned their contract,
but at present are not able to give much
trouble to the regular contesting forces who
have entrenched themselves strongly by their
system of rebate tickets. The attacks of the
brokers were made principally upon the
Pennsylvania Central road and 1t is
claimed by that company that in their war
the brokers have received aid and as
sistance from some of the other contestants.
It was rumored this morning that the trunk
lines leading out of this city would to-day
begin cutting rates on westward bound freight.
This report was denied by the agents of every
road in the city. Commissioner Fink, when
questioned on the subject, said: "It is my
belief that this story was started for the pur-
pose of affecting business in Wall street. L
have not been officially informed of any reduc-
ton of rates on westward bound freight. The
Grand Trunk road is carrying freight at
lower rates than Others, but this they were
privileged to do, as their road is much longer
than others. On east bound freight there is
good deal of cutting, but that have nothing
to do with. The war in freight rates from
Boston to the West still continues, but have
not heard of any new movement to-day"
