Chicago Times e.,
The Yellowstone park will undoubt-
edly be preserved both from the
devastation of the vandal and the grip
of the monopolist. The bill reported
to the senate from the committee on
territories, extending the limits of the
park, providing for the preservation
of the game in its woods and waters,
allowing reasonable leases for sites
upon which to erect hotels, but guard
ing against anything like n monopoly,
will have no serious opposition in con-
gress. The rather fresh gentleman
from Illinois who is assistant secretary
of the interior contracted TO give to
Rufus Hatch and others, for a merely
nominal rental, practical control of
the whole vast region, which they were
authorized to devastate at their leisure
for THEN own profit, and in which they
had the grant of wers to levy toll,
and such toll as |, W pleased, upon
every owner of the * who visited
his property. They were to have all
the hotels, all the routes of transporta-
ton, all the pleasure boats, everything.
They were to be masters of the domain.
Fortunately, Mr.. Joslyn was not
clothed with full authority 10 bind the
government, which, now that publicity
has been given the scheme, will repudi-
ate his work. The attempt of the despoil-
ers of the park to cast ridicule upon
General Sheridan, upon whose report it
is that congressional action is now
being taken, is q dismal failure. The
thanks of the country are due to the
general for moving promptly for the
protection and preservation of the
National park. with the beauties and
advantages of which he was familiar.

London Telegraph.
We have had our annual visit from
the Fog Demon. London, for the
space OF two whole days, has been en-
velopcd in an atmosphere of impcne-
trablc gloom, As with the SNOW, so
with the fog in London; it is like no
other fog that can be mentioned above

taste and smell badly. There is Il Ger
tain freshness and life in their embrace.
They cling 10 you and wrap you round
and awe you,whctheron the mountains
or on the waves, but they stop short Of
poisoning you. A London fog is a
very different article. Ii binds and it
chokes. 1t isycllowish in color, grimy
in appearance, and is accompanied by
particles of irritating grit and coal dust.
Present everywhere, it gets into your
bedroom in the morning, and insinu-
atcs itself in the sitting room all day,
No system of double windows tightly
barred, arrests its impertincnt pro-

down another. We think we have
missed ii at one corner only to find it
more aggressive than ever at the next.
HandkGrchicfs drawn carefully oyer
the mouth and rcspirators tightly
casped round the jaws are but feeble
protectors against the invasion of this
wcll.abused enemy. The cough will
come, the throat will be tickled, the
suoty particles will work their way
down into the lungs.
Diplomatic houscholdcrs think in
their innocence to check the inSidiUuS
advances of the foe by pretending that
it is night, and that the day has been
postponed. They murmur piousy y and
pray that the universe may be put

The tire is pokcd up, the curtains drawn,
all the candles lighted, but the tactics
are useless. The fog comes down the
chimney, under the cracks Of the doors,
through some crcyicC or Granny, and u
haze Of disagrceablc yapOr seems to
weigh upon the room. Old gentlemen
make u desperate effort, and, wrapping
themselves up like mummics, haste

and comfortable. Not Il bit of it. The
hall porter is scarcely visible, the hall

NEWLY planted orchards should be culti-
vated Many fruit growers will not allow a
crop of any kind to be raised after the trees
are set, but this, think, is too radical. A
good plan is to let a crop of potatoes or
other vegetables occupy the space between
the rows, allowing each tree full possession
growing only such crops as require manure,
and will leave the soil in as good or better
condition than when the trees were first set
out. Year by year decrease the planted sur
face between the trees until they come into
full bearing, when the cropping should be
discontinued.

address to the American Dairymen will be
iats-esting to lovers Of statistics: 3, bl.Iag,
\ I'VE have. y he, says, NEARLY eleven mil
lion families that consume two dozen eggs
per week, and $40 worth of poultry in d
year, which, It the eggs are computed at
twenty five cents per dozen, gives us a grand
aggregate Of $3o6, 100000. @Nle8" tsoti
Added to this family consumption are to
be reckoned hstels at $6S0OO, 900. then res
taurants, saloons, chemical aud medicinal
consumption in the way of manufactures.
and he might have added confectioners and
bakers who consume vast quantities in the
manufacture of cakes, ices, ETC. These show
ings warrant him in stating that he fears no
denial when he asserts as fact that the eep
and poultry production and consumption
for the United States would amount to $780,
100000.

large element of truth, II NOT the most mi
mute exactness, should elevate the impor

OATs-WHOLE OR CRUSHED.

A series of experiments, were recently
conducted in Europe by MIR. Samson to de-
termine whether it was better to feed horses
with oats whole or crushed. A graduated
electrical apparatus was used to measure
the muscular and nervous excitability eaus-
ed by the feed, and the result led to the be-
lief that oats eaten whole produce more ex-
citing power per hour than crushed oats.
The exciting principle in oats sa brown
heterogeneous substance uncrystalizable, ap-
parently belonging to the family OF aka
loids, and which Lr. Samson calls avenne.
On many OF our breeding farms it is the
custom to bruise or crush oats fed to the old
mares and young colts. The stimulating
effect of the food is more immediate than if
the oats were fed whole, but it is not so
strong or durable. For race horses and
work horses uncrushed oats is the better
tood.--U. s. MitLer .a

may occasionally become necessary; or
mulching with some fine material will prove
equally effectual.
Small fruits of all kinds may be planted
at any time this month. Raspberries and
olackberries start very early, and should
therefore be planted as soon as possible
When planted cut off the canes to within a
few inches of the ground, and plant but
very little deeper than the plants stood in
the nursery. This rule applies to nearly all
plants, but especially to Blackcap raspber.

THE CARE OF FARM MACHINERY.

We have noticed that plows last on an
average about three years wagons, eight
to ten years reapers, five to eight; drills,
eight to ten. We think these figures are
fully as large as the truth warrants. We
know of many implements that have not
lasted so long, and of many that have lasted
much longer. We to-day can point to
wagons that have been in constant and hard
use for twenty years, reapers that have stood
the wear and tear of liberal use for more
than fifteen years, drills that have been in
use as long, and other agricultural imple-
ments that have stood the wear of fully
twice the average age of such Implements.
These implements were not made of unusu-
ally good material, nor were they suffered
to lie idle. They were put to constant use.
What, then, is the secret of their great en-
durance? 1t is simply this-they were taken
care of. When not in use they were put
away, and put away properly.
These implements not only lasted longer,
but while they were in use they very rarely
failed. They were always ready for work.
The reapers did rot break down in the aid-
die OF harvest and compel all hands to lie
