When Commissioner Sparks order
instructlng registers and receivers of
land offices to decline to receive prs
emption, timber culture and desert land
entries was given to the public there
was no establishment over the act OF
the notorious commissioner, but there
was a general expression of surprise
that Secretary Lamar should have APP
proved the unlawful order. The politi-
cal adherents of the secretary of the
interior went so for as to express
it as their belief that Mr.. Sparks had
attached Mr. Lamar's approval to tho
order without the knowledge or consent
of that gentleman. This was not rash
conclusion, in consideration of the past
lnexplIcRble acts of the commissioner
of the general land office. But it tran
spires that Secretary Lamar approved
the order with his eyes open, though he
repented OF the act as soon as publicity
began to attract discussion and adverse
criticism. In consultation with his sssi5-
ordinates MIR. Lamar has already
decided that the order must be with
drawn. There are few people in the
broad west who have reached
years of discretion who could not have
told Mr.. Lamar that the order was en-
tirely sunwarranted by law and that his
departm snt had exceeded its authority
in giving it currency. As this is the first
important official act of the interior de-
partment since the retirement of the
assistant secretary, Mr.. jerks, the con-
clusion will be jumped ut that that de-
partment parted with its brains when it
permitted MFR. Jenks to retire, 1t is well
enough known that he was its legal
head and that the reversal of Mr.. Sparks
numerous cranky orders have been insti.
gated by the reasoning faculties of Mr.
jerks. The interior department seems
to have lost itH steering apparatus and to
be adrift on the boundless sea OF uncer
tainty without it's jerks.
The humiliating part of the basinest
to the representatives of this alleged
improved government is now inflicted
by the senate in its resolution citing Mr.
Lamar and MIR. Sparks to show by wha'
authority they presume to annul q Law
passed by congress and duly approved
by the executive-s law which for year
has been upon the statute books of th'
nation and under which millions of acre
of land have passed from the possession
of the government into the possession
of private individuals. Mr.. Lamar sne
MIR. Sparks will encounter difficult.
in meeting this resolution. Thei
only way out of the dilemma Il
to admit that they issued tn
order without any authority and thel
throw themselves on the mercy of tn
court. Their plea must be ignorance
intensified by the departure OF MI
jerks,

The books Of the war department OF
the territory of Dakota show that its
militia establishment is on the verge OF
bankruptcy, The last Legislature ap-
propriated for the use of the militia
$4,000 for the ensuing two years. From
this sum expenditures have already
been made as follows:
For the Fargo sncampment. ..........S ST 6, SO. 666
For armo rent and inclde tails ........ 2ooo0
For uniforms and incident9ls. ......... 4,7SSOj
For adiutant generals salary. 10000
Total. 500, ,s246 66
This leaves in the treasury balance
of $175,34. Before new appropriation
can be made available the military treas
ursrwill be called upon to pay armory rent
for three quarters Of year and uniform
vouchers for an entire year. The armory
rent for this period will amount to over
$4,000. Uniform expenses cannot be
| figured, but are liable to amount to
another thousand or two. The expected
new appropriation for militia purposes
cannot be made available for the debts
of the organization and if snch debts are
created deficiency appropriation must
be relied upon for their liquidation.
| Under the circumstances it
is not probable that there
will be any annual encampment
| this year, unless the expenses ere paid
by private subscriptions, something not
liable to occur. I he total cost of the
last encanpment was SlS,SS6,66 of
which the citizens of Fargo paid $4,000,
] leaving to the territory the expenditure
indicated IN the foregoing table. This
expenditure on the part OF the territory
is accounted for in the following items:

there will be any warlike gathering

handle to hold the bud by. The piece
Of bark is then carefully placedin posi-
ton under the raised corners on the
stock, the straight edges being fitted
close together and the raised corners
being laid over the inserted bark. The
bandage is then fitted and tied secure
ly. The bandage may be made of any
soft flexible material which is tough
coarse, soft yarn, the soft, thin inner
husk of a corn ear, soft hickory or
Eastwood bark, or strips of cotton
cloth, but if necessary the bands
should be softened by soaking them in
water, by which they can be tied with.
out breaking.
The bark will unite in ten or four
teen DAYS and if the bud has taken or
the union has been made, the bark will
appear fresh and the bud plump and
the leaf stalk will have dropped. In
this case the knot of the band should
be loosened to prevent strangulation of
the stock and to permit it to grow
freely. If the bark is shriveled and
the iry stalk still adheres to it the
operation has failed and may be re-
peated by using bud which has been
reserved for this purpose by wrapping
the twigs in damp moss or cloth and
keeping them in cool dark place.
When the bud has taken successfully
nothing more is done until the follow
ing spring when the stock is cut of
above it and the shoot is permitted to
grow. To prevent the new shoot from
being injured by high winds it is well
to tie it to stake if the position is ex-
posed.
The new growth is, of course, the
same variety as that of the tree from
which the bud is taken, but OCCASION
ally some difference will occur in the
fruit from the bud by reason of the eff
feet of the stock. These pears budded
on ounce stocks will be dwarfed and
the fruit will differ in quality, some
pears being far better thus grown than
on pear stocks; but, rs rule. there is
no important variation. The opera
ton is mostly performed on peaches.
cherries and plums, the better kinds
being budded on Seeding stocks which
would bear inferior fruit. The finer
kinds of roses are also budded on
strong growing stocks and sometimes
on the wild brier to produce what are
known as standards, which have the
form otea small tree on tall, upright
stem.-Henry Stewart in N. Y. Times.

FEEDING THE HORSE.
A Little Variety Relished by Animals n
Well as by Men.

A Little Variety Reli.hed by Animals Is
Well as by Men.
It is about rs difficult, as we under
stand it. for a man to find out Just how
to feed horse to the best advantage,
all things considered, as it is to find out
how to feed himself. How many men
know just what to eat, and how much?
How many are as careful about their
food as they know how to be? Their
own feelings may be warning. some
times, or the appetite may indicate a
need. In feeding the horse we have no
such reminders. 1t is all judgment
and half of that is guess-work.
Oats are the natural grain food Of
the horse. This is the popular verdict.
But does the horse not want or need
something else? Yes, he wants a rea-
sonable allowance of good hay, clover
or timothy, or the two combined. Dat
straw is good. when the oats are cut
before the stalk has lost all of its green
hue. Wheat would be found nour-
ishing food for the horse, and not SO
dear as some would at first think. But
it is very concentrated food. and all
such must be fed with great care and
in connection with cOarser food OF
some kind.
If oats are crushed. or just coarsely
ground, they will prove more nourish-
ing. In England, they are passed be-
tween rollers. But if horses teeth
are good, it will generally grind its
oats pretty we'll. There is great
difference in horses, however, in this
respect, just as there is in men. Some
bolt their food much more rapidly and
less masticated than others. But what
ever grain you feed. do not let the
horse drink Immediately after. If you
