Bald Heads in tho Senate.

| Senator Edmunds, the presiding Off
Ger OF the Senate has fallen ntO the hab
it of wearing black silk skull cap. He
is very bald, and the air Of the Senate
chamber is uncOmfortably cool TO expos
cd cranial surfaces, causing colds and
the consequent Inconvenience. So he
wears this little black cap all the day,
in the committee rooms, in the Vice
Presidents chamber and in the chair of
the SeDate as its presiding officer. And
there are some other heads ia the cham
Der quite ag bald as his. The nearest
approach to the system which Senator
EdmuRds has inaugurated is the course
OF Senator Williams, the hero Of CerrO
Gordc. He wears a wig. 1t is very neat
and very we'll fitting, but he has way
when he has occasion to stroke one sido
of it of taking hold of the opposite side
to keep it in place. thus giving the illu-
sion away at once. Senator Coke Of
Texas. is one Of the bald, st mon in the
senate. There is vast expanse of fore
head, extending away ever the top OF his
head and down in the rear so far that
there is only fringe of gray hair run
ming round from one ear 10 the other.
Indeed, the fringe may be said to run
clear round, for it is heavier in front,
where there ia bunch of white beard.
Cameron, OF Wisconsin, is quite as des-
titute of capillary covering as those
mentioned. His rather small head and
retreating forehead fairly glisten in
their polished nakednass, while on his
face, in marked contrast, is full growth
OF snowy white beard. Senator Harris,
Of Tennessee, is another bald one, He
has n peculiarly shaped head, very wide
at the back and narrow in front. The
fringe Of hair running around the vast
expanso OF badness is white as the driv-
en- Snow. Lapham and Sawyer are also
baldheaas but tho other Senators are
fairly we'll supplied with head covering.

increase the demand for game and

The Safest Part of a Train.

The American railway conductor who,
when asked which was the safest part Of
a car, replied, THAT part which happens
to be in the shop at the time Of the ac-
cident, " was a wit. But leaving Joking
apart, it is not generally known-in fact,
popular prejudice rather points the other
way-that the last carriage in q railway
train is the safest, There IS no doubt
that, if you are in the last carriage Of
train, and especially at its rear, and an
other train runs into yours, you will
probably not survive to tell the tale Of
how the accident happened. But in all
other accidents you can conjure up as
liable to occur It Is the safest. II there
is a head collision there is nothing back
Of YOU to add force TO the blow. If the
carriage leaves the track and collides
with bridge or any obstruction on q
side track, It will not be in your end. If
the train is thrown down an embank-
ment there is nothing to land on the top
of YOU. Moreover, the rear part of
train is the most pleasant In travelling,
for from it you can best observe the
scenery, and this applies more particu-
larly to American and some continental,
especially Swiss, railway cars where, by
turning in your seat, or stepping to the
door. YOU can take it all in. Is viii,
therefore, be conceded that the safest
part of a train Is in the last seat Of the
asst carriage, although, speaking from
our own experience, it is not the most
owing to the great amount
IF oscillation.

roR TIE PARM AND HOWE.


The most durable and convenient
labels for trees Is a strip Of rough zinc.
If ordinary, smooth zinc has to be
used, It should be immersed in diluted
muriatic acid for a few minutes. to
roughen the surface. Ordinary pencil
writing viii last for many years on
such labels; they may be fastened with
copper wire. or If the strips are cut
long enough, their ends may be twist
ed around small limbs
There is nothing more dlscouraging,
after having planted a collection of
fruits, than to find when they come
into bearing that the labels have be-
come detached and every trace Of them
lost. The wise thing to do. therefore,
is to examine every newly planted tree
before winter storms have blown off
the labels, and fasten them securely.
And stu the wiser thing after that is
to make an accurate map Of the
orchard, no matter how rough, indicat-
ing the exact position and name Of
every tree, so that It may be identified
at glance. independent Of labels.

Value OF Hen Refuse.

The refuse from hen rOosts is a very
stimulating fertilizer when rotted suf-
flciently fine to go into fine powder.
This can, in small amounts, be applied in
contact with seed. and II Rne enough
may be drilled with It. A very good
practice is to mix hen refuse with the
commercial fertilizers, especially bone
dissolved in sulphuric acid. There IS
usually some free acid in the phosphate,
which readily combines with the nitro
gen. If ashes are used in this mixture,
It should be only when the seed is
about to be covered. We have put
dry wood ashes in the drill with hen
material aud phosphate, and believe it
a good practice. The ashes clean the
drill from sticky phosphate, and
though there is some smell Of am
monia indicating its loss. yet there IS
the satisfaction of knowing that the
ashes are in contact with the manure
under the soil, where no loss Of am
monia can occur. The very reasons
why ashes and manures should never
be cOmposted together above ground |
furnish arguments to placing them in !
contact with each other under the sur
lace.-CHlttUatOr.

Horse.PIesh for Fonh.

According to the Christians Dag
6lad, large business is now done by
an enterprising butcher at Barnsley,
Yorkshire, Eng, in getting dead horses
from Glasgow, Scotland, sailing
their flesh and exporting It in large
quantities to Stockholm. Sweden.
At the time his proceedings were in
vestigated, the butcher had forty tons
Of hOrsehesh ready for shipment to
Stockholm, whence It is distributed
through Sweden and sold as salt beef
The medical officer of health in Glas-
gov very sensibly remarks, that "To
eat flesh of horse slaughtered, under
special control. for human food Is one
thing; but it is quite a different mat
ter to eat flesh of horses killed on ac-
count Of great age. or disease, and
without control" There is no good
reason why the flesh Of horses should
not be eaten, just as well as that of
cows, sheep, goats, or pigs. If the ami
mails have been healthy and properly
killed for food. In France tits largely
used. But such meat as the Glasgow
doctor hints at is horrible. Yet, the
English authorities declare that the
Barnsley butchers busin, IS is lawful
and cannot be interfered with. That
is shameful. -Nsa0 York Cook.

Poor son Improvsmens.

The methods Of using clover for
the renovation Of exhausted lands are
simple. The crop is usually fortified
with plaster only. applied at the rate
of about 100 pounds to theacre on the
young crop in late spring or early
June It is commonly used partly for
fodder, at least one cutting being made
early In the second season after seed
ing; then the second crop may be
allowed to grow till quite ripe before
1t is plOughed in. If it's allowed to
grow still another year, a larger mass
of roots and stubble will be left to
decay in the soil. The manure made
with the aid Of this fodder may be put
anywhere on the farm, where It is
most needed. The clover may be
followed by corn and then by wheat
with a dressing of manure; or If the
land is in very low condition and
needs still more renovation, clover
may be Immediately sown again, to be
treated as above.
In thus using clover for the i'm
proYement of soils It must not be for
gotten that it can add no phOsphoric
acid, potash, lime or magnesia to the
soil-and that it needs quite as much
Of these important elements Of the
food Of all plants as the corn crop
does, and much more than the wheat
crop, although it, for the time. leaves
the soil in a better condition for wheat
than if it had not been grown there,
COnsequentlynog good clover crop can be
obtained on a soil that is worn out
and barren because these matters are
exhausted; they must be supplied In
phosphate and potash salts, or ashes.
Aud even If the soil is not so poor as
this, a dressing Of these commercial
nanures may often so much improve
the clover as to make their use profit

Use the Brush on the Cows.

But few farmers ever think it ne
cessary that a COW should be brushed.
We have seen neighbOrs laugh and
ridicule what they called our over
niceness and business, when the COWS
were eUrried and brushed twice a day,
with as much care as was given to the
horses. "Whatl curry a cow2 Never
heard tell of such a thingl7 But
COW needs It, even more than horse;
and for several reasons. A COW, whose
milk is used for food, unless she have
a perfectly clean skin, cannot give
clean milk, and then the butter will be
bad. The skin should be in a perfect
ly healthy condition, and the blood
pure or the milk VIII be impure and
unhealthful, and the butter or cheese
viii be tainted. Neither cleanliness
nor healthfulness can be secured with
out regular brushing of the skin and
the removal of all the filth which will
gather upon ill-kept COWS. This should
be done before the cows are MIXED,
both morning and evening. The
morning cleaning should be a thor
ough one; q simple brushing, to re-
move dust and loose hairs, will be
sufficient for the evening. It will help
very much, for both horses and COWS
