THE department rife competitions of our
army have been completed, and the re-
ports returned give cause for congratulation
that in craftsmanship al least our skeleton
army can lead the world. The competition
was for the selection of men to compete for
the championship at Fort Leavenworth, and
strangely enough the California team was left
far behind by the record of the Dakota regi
ments, while the latter, aud the team of the
division of the Atlantic, made records OF abou
equal excellence.

A Horses TOOthache.
from the Pittsburg Dispatch.]


''Do horses have the toothache ?"
asked a reporter yesterday of a we'll
known veterinary surgeon, as he saw
that gentleman examine an equine
molar.
eyes, indeed" said the doctor.
"They suffer far more from that COM
plant than people suppose. Many
horses have been doctored for the
CHAMBERS when nothing allied them but
an abscess from a decayed tooth. A
horse is subject to much the same all
ments as those which make life a. bur-
den to many men. Toothache is one
of them. A horse in the wild state,
suppose, would never have diseased
teeth, but in this highly artificial ex-
istence, with prepared feed, etc., it is
different. When horses tooth is
diseased and the nerve touched, he
suffers as much from the toothache
as q man would. The difference is,
that he can't make q complaint, but
has to stand it. After a time the
tooth ulcerates and forms an abscess,
and the horse is dosed by quacks for
catarrh and other nasal troubles.
"NOw this tooth was In the mot tn
of a highly bred trotter owned by
friend of mine. He drove the horse up
here one day and wanted me to look
at him. He said that the horse was
uneasy in his stall and kept falling
away all the time. He laughed at me
when [ told him the horse was suffer
ing from toothache. [ looked in the
animals mouth and the tooth could
be plainly seen. 1t was loose, 50 loose
that easily pulled it with an ordinary
pair Of forceps. Now the horseis doing
well, gaining every day, and gives no
more trouble in the stall. The only
trouble you see was that he had the
toothache.
cts a harder job to pull a horses
tooth than mans. In pulling one
of the front teeth, we take an ordinary
large pair of forceps, but in the ex-
treme back teeth we have to cut a hole
in the iaw-bone sometimes before we
can loosen it. Yes, horse, is very
near human in some things. Not more
than one person in ten who owns a.
horse is capable of taking care of and
driving him."

More Agricultural Implements.

We see it stated as an evidence OF
returning prosperity that the manu-
facturers of agricultural implements
are having larger orders from retailers
than usual for the spring trade. In
stead of this being a sign of prosperity,
it is danger threatening the financial
Independence of the farmers. Nearly
all of these implements are to be sold
on credit, and to Tom, Dick and Har-
ry, with but little regard to their
financial ability. The implements are
sold at such high prices that ifhalf are
paid for the manufacturers get well
paid. Then every allurememt and de-
vice is resorted to to induce farmers to
buy, and at least twice as many I'M
plements are purchased as should be.
We noticed this week that in one coun-
ty in the state, in court, In one day
over forty default cases we're taken by
one agricultural implement firm
against farmers for machinery. And
such suits and judgments are all over
the state, and farmers are compelled
to pay heavy costs with attorney fees,
besides really double price for the ma
chinery. And we know when retailers
are ordering farmers implements
largely that trouble is brewing instead
of it's being signs of returning prospect
ty. We beg with farmers to withhold
their hands this year. Use the old
machinery with suitablerepairs. Com
bine with your neighbors in the use of
machinery. In every way lessen the
debts, pay off mortgages, keep out Of
debt to grOcerymen or merchants, Or
the implement retailer. There is no
hope of better times next year than
this. In the meantime avoid debts, as
you would snakes and saloons.-Iowa

Bohemian Oats.

Probably there has been no swindle
practiced SO persistently and systemat-
ically, as that of Bohemian oats. In
Indiana they legally incorporated q
State Bohemian Oats Company. OF
course every name connected with the
charter is either fiction or worthless
With their state documents, they go
over the country, and from the Indiana
Farmer reports. it would seem as if
they were operating in nearly every
country, and they are ropingin alarge
number ofthe best farmers. They sell
from ten to twenty bushels to a man
at $40 per bushel, and either get the
money or a commercial note, which is
sold at once to some innocent broker.
They agree to take all the oats the
farmer may raise next year at the
same price. But there will be no per-
son found next year to pay such fabu
lous prices except themselves. But
the richest joke In this scheme of fraud,
is, that they graciously take the
farmer to whom they sell the oats, in
to the state institution as a real mem
Der, so, he will next year not only get
ten dollars per bushel for all his oats,
but he will be member of q legally
organized State Bohemian Company,
and get large dividends on his shares
Of stock. They will soon have the
hoosier state all done up, when they
will move West. We have a plenty in
Iowa waiting for their coming and will
be greedy to get oats at $1Oper bushel.
The Indiana Farmer reports several
cases of sales every week, in Wayne,
Cass, Miami, Howard, Marshall, etc.
The Cambridge City, Indiana, paper
has a sample paragraph as follows:
A few days ago four men, purport-
ing to be from Union City, appeared
at the residence of Ross Spencer, south
of Dublin, and sold him 20 bushels of
Bohemian oats, at $40 per bushel,
guaranteeing to take the entire prod
uce from this amount next season at
the same price. By reason of this
purchase Mr.. Spencer was allowed to
become a member of the Bohemian
Oats Association.

Leaves for FertiIizing.

Little attention is generally paid by
books on agriculture to the use of
leaves for fertilizing purposes. but
there is no doubt they are very useful,
and in sections where they can readily
be obtained they should be fully util-
lied. An article in a recent number
of the New England farmer gives a
very good exposition OF this subject,
as follows:
The special value of leaves for fertil-
izing purposes lies in thefact that they
combine in themselves all the mineral
constituents of plants in their proper
proportion. Through the laws OF
adaptation they nourish growing
plants without the disadvantages
arising from an excess or deficiency of
one or more ingredients. Every par
ticle that is found in leaf is capable,
when decayed, of entering into new
combinations and again arising into q
tree for the purpose of contributing
more leaves and flowers and fruit. 1t
is patent that the less we rob the soil
of the perishing members of vegeta-

"God bless youl how good you

In another moment or two she ran

ion she did not care.
Gerald was reclining in an EASY
chair; his face was ashy pale, and he
looked a shadow of his old self; but
still his face was beautiful in it's classi-
cal features and it's large, deep blue
eyes, over which q fond look always
crept when his wife came near.
She threw herself on her knees be-
fore him, and catching his thin white
hand she kissed it passionately.

Gerald, won't it be a labor of lover"
And she held before him letter from
one OF the best firms of publishers in
London.
He looked at it, then at her, as if
just awakening from a strange wild
dream. Before he could speak, how
ever, she dived into her pocket and
drew out a roll of bank notes and
thrust them into his hands.
'"This is yours. Gerald, all yours;
am all yours, am not? And I shall
have more-much more, I hope. Oh,
do speak to me, Gerald. Say one lit
tie word, pleased"
Gerald drew her to him with all the
little strength left to him and kissed
her fondly. Oh, the radiant Joy that
beamed over his poor wan face as he
murmured:
'Thank God-thank God, you are

Gerald is quite resigned to the will of
Heaven now. True, he cannot put
his thoughts on canvas, but he tells
them to Ste, and she, in her charming
manner, weaves them into romances
that give her fame, and gives us luxu-
ries in our home that we never had be-

NOdOmestic animal needs more care
at this season than poultry. There
can be no use in wintering poultry I'M

cannot be any profit in them unless
they are In a good healthy condition.
They cannot be kept in such condition
without good care and attention.
This consists in thorough cleanliness
in all things. II in confined place, it
should be cleaned out every day, or at
least every other day. This [ do my
self. The perches and floors and nest
boxes, and every particle of wood that
comes in direct contact, should be
sprinkled every time the house is
cleaned out with common kerosene.
Thefood must be of q varied nature,
not too much soft feed by any means
never above once day, and always
in the morning-never at night. They
must have old lime, gravel, sand, ETC.,
to keep the grinding mill in order.
The food should be wheat, oats, bar
ley and about one-ffth corn. This,
with table bits, q soft mixture of corn
meal, ETC., well sailed, will constitute
good feeding. The fowls, in addition
to this, must have good supply once
a week of onions and cabbage chopped
well. A little red pepper is good sea-
soning.
In addition to all this, poultry must
have fresh air and sunshine, to be

Leaves contain the carbon or humus,
together with the alkaline substances
essential to the support of growing
plants. When dry they are said to
contain ABOUT SIX pounds OF inorganic
matter, suitable for plant food. in
every 100 pounds. This is inclosed in
vegetable tissue, which rapidly de-

Gus gases are evolved which furthur
supply the want of growing plants.
All other manures are more expensive.
Leaves cost onl y the gathering, usual

They may be applied to plants, or
when decomposed may be brought

while by their slow decay they are con-
stantly supplying their fertilizing ele-
ments.
The greatest value in leaves is prob
ably found in their use and mechanical
influence when Incorporated with
tenacious, or stiff, clayey soils, in
rendering them porous, holding them
open to the air and showers, keeping
them in a more fitting state for the
free admission of moisture to theroots
of the plants, as well as to the general
promotion of various crops. In Scot
land leaves are allowed three or four
years to perfectly decompose, occa-
sionally being turned. Here this would
be regarded as impracticable. But
though bulky in proportion to their
weight, leaves should be utilized where
ever they are availablefor the reasons
indicated. Even their very bulk and
lightness, in certain cases and for some
purposes, give them a special value.

LAY Us DOWN TO SLEEP.
BY LOUISE CHANDLER MoULroN.


We lay us down to sleep,
And leave to God the rest,
Whether to wake and weep,
Or wake no more be best.
Why vex our souls with care?
The grave is cool and low;
Have we found life SO fair
That we should dread to goY
We've kissed Loves sweet red lips
And left them sweet and red;
The rose the wild bee sips
Blooms on when he is dead.
Some faithful friends we've found
But they who love us best
When we are underground
Will laugh on with the rest.
No task have we begun
But other hands can take;
No work beneath the sun
For which we need to wake.
Then hold us fast, sweet Death,
II SO it seemeth best
To Him who gave us breath
That we should go to rest.
We lay US down to sleep,
Our weary eyes to close,
Whether to wake and weep
Or wake no more, He knows.

The amount of business accomplished
and success achieved must depend in
great measure upon the skill and
judgment with which they now manage
matters.
The questions affecting street rail
road transportation in the District and
public school management, are those
upon which an interchange of views
and verdict by the House can do no
harm and might be of considerable
value. The construction of bridge
over the Eastern Branch Is subject of
very great Importance, the passage of
