Breeding Horses.

The various modes of handling
horse stock upon the average farm
are attended with wide range of re-
suits. 1t is wise to keep three brood
mares, good ones, breeding two of
these in the spring and one in the fall.
Three such mares, if the farm has the
amount of service in permanent grass
that should be kept devoted to this
crop, will do it easily. The mare
that brings a fall colt will. with suit
able winter, care and food. give the
colt a good growth by the time grass
comes, and at the age of three years,
it will hardly be noticed that the colts
of the spring before have any advan-
tage over it. This mare, kept for fall
breeding, will make a capital change
off during the spring work. doing du-
ty while the others require to be IA
vored. The gain in rearing horses of
value over those of the cheaper grades
is more pronounced than in the case
of most other products of the farm,
the difference being fully one-half,
whether the stock be 6rst-class draft
stock or the higher grades for other
purposes. When we consider the
comparative ease with which heavy
brood mare will DO spring work at the
pillow, as compared to the beast of
light weight. supposing both to be in
foal. it will show the advantage of
having this class. On account of be-
ing in foal, the light mare is only
able to move the pillow by putting
every muscle upon the highest tension,
the breathing and hearts action labor
ing unduly while this strain is going
On. The heavy beast leans forward
into the collar, and the weight is large
ly the motor, the real strain upon the
muscles, through contraction being
light.

Notes.

A small quantity of nitrate of soda
put into the water every time it is
changed will preserve cut flowers for
more than fortnight.
Bees should never be robbed so
closely in the fall as to have less than
fifteen to twenty pounds of honey to
60 through the winter with.
Bees, if properly and judiciously
managed will pay larger dividends
on capital invested than any other
stock on the farm, and yet they per.
form all the labor in feeding them.
This is why ladies should keep bees.
"A. NJ. Hicks, Battle Ground, Ind.
Mich COWS should always have at
least q small amount of some kind of
green food, such as roots or ensilsge,
when other green food is not in sea-
son. Such a ration will do much to
tone up their general health, as well as
to increase the flow of milk. So says
the National Stockman.
The Rural New Yorker warmly ad-
vocstes oats and peas as an excellent
green food for mich cows. For this
purpose one and one-half bushels of
oats are sown. As peas are not easily
covered by harrow. excepting the
Acme, which covers them perfectly the
seed should be sown on the borrowed
ground and covered by the cultivator
or plowed in.

Baby On The Cars.

There was a baby on car of til,
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail
/ road the other afternoon.
It-a baby in long clothes is Away
an twas loaded to the muzzle will
cry. 1t was little thing not more
than two feet long, but it had more
cry coiled up in it than you would sup
pose could be slowed away in baby
as big as town constable. What
would an auctioneer give for thai
baby's capacity?
Well the rain and the baby got 9
good even start. and for several miles
the passengers looked on with interest
in the race. Almost anybody would
bet off-hand that a baby's steam would
run down before an engines but if you
knew this particular baby you would
disdain all illegal propositions and
declare yourself not betting charact-
er; which, by the way, is a most
righteous declaration-when you have
no sure thing.
The poor young mother of this
portable noise factory was crimson
with embarrassment, for of course
every passenger looked at her and
seemed to her to say: Why don't
you shut up that squalling brat?
Presently man with a long flow
ing beard came up the aisle, chucked
the baby under the chin, made hor-
rid grimace, and simpered. Da, da,
da, tootle tie tooty.
The baby was crying as loud as it
could, but this made it cry louder.
Then woman reached over from
the next seat and whispered some
thing in the mothers ear. Of course,
nobody heard what she said, and the
mother only sat the little one on her
hand and shook her head.
A man across the way said perhaps
there was pin sticking into it; and
the baby was tipped and turned and
waspsey'd about until investigation
exploded this theory.
Probably got the collie, said digni-
fed woman with a double chin. A
man in long duster gave it pepper
mint lozenge, but the baby declined
it with kicks and yells.
The poor mother looked down at
the floor as if she wished TO find
nail-hole to slip through. A kind
looking woman came from the other
end of the car, took the baby and
pranced up and down the aisle bob.

4 storm of eight days duration is something unprecedented in the an

Ccmmenc- ing on Wednesday, January 30th, the storm reached It's height on Sunday and Monday when it rained contin- uo4siy for about 30 hours, and a good, steady, hard rain at that.

LOVELY LOOKING LADS,
Great Hit Made BY The Junior lsf-
ferson Club
At Their Dress Parade last Night---Triam-
phaI March through The City,
Manly Uniforms.

The Junior Jefferson Club gave dress
parade last evening and fairly took the city
by storm. Friday night was the time ohgi-
nally set for their parade, and there was
great disappointment when the rain msdeit
impossible. Last night was entirely I'M
promising, and it was in a slight drizzle
that the club formed, and, headed by the
Jefferson Drum Corps, took up the line of
march. A red FIRE blazed out at the start
and revealed the new uniforms for the first
time. IL is handsome and soldierly costume
and one the boys may well be proud of. 1t
is manly, and not popinjay and does not
subject the wearer to ridicule as being in
the 1 asst outlandish. Altogether it is very
much handsomer than that worn by the
Plumed Knights and much more suitable
foi the use to which it is put. The colors
are white and blue A white cap with blue
band white shirt6with white-starred blue
collar, blue pants and white leggins and the
uniform is told. There were about fifty in
line including line officers and file closers.
The club was preceded by the drum
corps, which is the nobbiest ever organized
here There are twenty-four drummers,
we'll drilled and uniformed nearly similar to
the club. The drum music was regular
and rhythmic and beaten in soldiery style.
The club marched over the route given
Yesterday morning, which was transformed
into triumphal march. Colored fires were
burned at intervals along the line, keeping
it in one broad glow, while fire works
spluttered, Kissed and coruscated in
every block. The foot move
ments of the club were executed
with wonderful precision and called repeat
ed applause from the crowds that lined the
rout and followed the club on its parade.
1t was a highly successful evening and the
boys are Justly entitled to all the pride
they doubtless feel. Most of them will be
votersEin the next campaign and the en-
,husasm aroused now will be renewed then
and will come with telling effect
A handsome fraternal compliment was
paid them by the Junior Plumed Knights,
whom the passed on Market street. which
was grateful considering the usual insults
the Republicans offer the Democratic clubs
and meetings The Knights drew in COM
pany front and presented canes as the JEFF
fersonians passed, which salute was grace
fully acknowledged.
