The White
Cotton Under

sale continues
That's all we
need to say.

Curtain Scrims used to come
only in linen goods; now there
are very good limitations of the
linen in cotton. Of course they
are cheaper. We have both.
The linen goods cost less now
than they did before their cotton
rivals came.
Why is there not more Twill
led Sheeting used in New Ha-
ven? 1t costs but little more
than the plain cotton, and makes
very much nicer sheets. You
can have it here in ga, 1914 and
ia widths.
We have got in another in
voice of those Damask Towels
with fancy borders thistle pat
terms and others. They will
soon be gone-wish we could
get more of these towels.
Another lot of Stamped Lin
en- for embroidering has come.
The designs are improving all
the time some of them are very
preety indeed. The linen is mo-
mie, damask, fine crash and pill

D'Oylies, Sideboards Scarfs,
Table Mats, and so on.
Let us name one or two
Housekeeping Articles which
people might not think of in
our store. Thick, double-width

We keep in our Flannel De-
partment line of cloths for
ladies upper garments and for
mems suits. The spring goods
are here now, and like every
thing else they are cheaper than
they used to be. You will be
astonished to see the very fine
and substantial quality of the
clothes in grey or brown mix
lures, hair lines and invisible"
checks, that we can now sell at
$2.25 a yard, 54 inches wide.
The black cloths, cork-screws,

Governor Martin, of Kansas, makes some
interesting statements in his proclamation
which designates April as Arbor day, when
old and young turn out to plant trees He
says that "the State which the pioneers
found treeless" and desert now bears upon
its fertile bosom 'Emors than twenty millions
of fruit trees, and more than two hundred
thousand acres of forest trees, all planted by
our own people," And the Governor also
says: 'That there has been an increase in
the rainfall in Kansas is fully proved by the
statistics of our oldest meteorologists !"
Every State ought to have an Arbor day

might say. True they are long in send

them in this way. Have box-a cigar

water upon this flannel and you will be
surprised to find how quickly The seeds
will put forth leaves. In ten days, if |

PHdNIx AND RECORD AND FARMER FRIDAY MARCH 1855


The nearer we follow their natural inclina-
tions in the treatment Of horses the better.
This is more forcibly brought 10 mind when
II is remembered that nature never makes mis-
takes. Robbed Of all the chances TO follow
natures laws, when under the control Of man,
is IL any wonder that there are many unsound
horses TO be found in city aud country It
is more to be wondered at that there are any
perfectly sound ones to be found. II might,
perhaps, in truth be said that in no other treat
ment are natures laws trampled upon in a
greater degree than in the feeding OF horses.
Their stomachs are small The stomach of
an average-sized horse will not hold more
than from ten to twelve quarts. The average
farmer, thinking he is doing the greatest kind
ness, feeds as il his horses had capacity enough

rect idea Of the size Of an average horses
stomach, look at three. gallon bucket. How
would you go about packing big manger full
Of hay, twelve or fifteen large ears of corn
and few sheaves of oats into vessel of this
size? II would be task you would fail 10
complete, yet you expect your horse to do il
three times n day. II it really requires that
much provender to run horse twenty. four
hours, the question arises; Which is the best
way to feed il ? Taking everything into con-
eideration the decision is easily arrived at
feed oftener and in less quantities. But the
mistake lies in assuming that such an amount
Of food is needed. They may eat it all and
do well, but very often they would do better
on less. 1t is safe to say that nine out OF ten
of the farmers throughout the country feed
more to their horses than is necessary. This
may not be as serious a charge to bring up
against them as that they do not feed enough,
but it is a mistake which needs rectifying

The horrible cruelty of the western method
OF cattle-raising is shown by letters from
Kansas Correspondents figure up the losses
there and in the Indian territory at 30 per

come from starvation and freezing, the work

paltry enough. The streams in Kansas have

All plants obtain their nourishment in a
liquid OF gaseous form, by inhibition through
the cells of the younger roots or fbrils. The
fluids and gases thus absorbed, probably ming
ling with other previously assimilated matter,
are carried upward from cell to cell through
the alburnum or sap-wood, until il reaches

is exposed to the air and light, and converted

sap of trees descended into the roots in the
fall, remaining there through the winter, is
an error with no foundation whatever As
the wood and leaves ripen in the autumn, the
roots almost cease to imbibe crude sap, and
for a while the entire structure appears to
part with moisture, and doubtless does so
