a good farmer in the Colusa Sun
of recent date, says: alfalfa
should never be pastured. In the
first place it will pay better to cut
it and feed it to stock. There is an
immense waste in having a lot of
stock in Oh a lot of rank growth of
alfalfa. The waste is more than
what iS.eaten. The great objection,
however, is that if pastured the
weeds are allowed to grow, while
the alfalfa is eaten down. 1t is
evident that in this way the weeds
soon take the field, but if it is cut
the whole is taken down together,
and when given Il fair chance alfal-
fa will not be rooted out by any
weed. If a person has even as
many as ten or twelve head of stock
to feed lie will find that it will pay
big wages to NOV it and haul it out
to them. A field will feed three
times as much stock, and save the
grass from being killed out.

Wild Dogs of the Mountains.

The wild dogs which infest the mountains of the upper Wind river arc not the common wolf of the western prairies and mountains. They are something far more powerful and dangerous. Several years since male Scotch staghound and female English bull- dog ran away ill company from Fort Washa- kie, made their home in the mountains, and these wild dogs of the upper Wind river are their savage offspring. With such ancestor ship, how can this wild offspring help being a canine terror?
 The latest exploits of those canine maraud- CTS of which we have any account is the destruction of a small herd of bears It ap- pears that some time ago about dozen bears of tho dreaded and large silver tip variety came down from the surrounding mountains to enjoy themselves on the sunny slopes of the Warm Spring basin. In the course of the day those bears all got together, and while thus massed were attacked by about 100 of the wild dogs.
 The conflict was terrible. The bears fought with all the courage and ferocity for which the silver tip is noted, but the mingled strain of staghound and bulldog supplied a courage and ferocity greater still. and at the end of half an hour every bear had died where he was brought to bay.
 The dogs suffered severely, twenty-five of their number perishing in the fight. The survivors wasted little time, however, in mourning over their dead companions, but began at once on the banquet their own pow srs had provided, and in an hour from the time the combat ceased, only the clean picked bones of the twelve bears remained to tell of the struggle to death which had taken place, and the savage feast which had followed.

The Danger of Drafts.

Few people when overloaded can sit in draft without paying the penalty for the in- discretion. Yet in spite of the accumulated experience of ages that method of cooling off is frequently adopted by people working in- doors. If the room gets too warm, or the occupants are overloaded by their work, up goes @ window and the cold air from the out side comes rushing in. This sudden cooling off where one is overloaded chills the skin and drives the blood to the center of the body. Frequently the lungs are congested as result and inflammation follows. Then pneumonia is ushered in with chill, followed by fever, pain in the side and coughing. So it goes on. getting worse each day until the crisis is reached, when the patient begins to get gradually be ter Orwell, there are plenty of graves to tell the other side of the story. If recovery follows it is usually full and com plete. No special tendency to contract the disease again remains The affected lung throws off all signs of the disease and per- forms it's function as we'll as it did before the attack. Once in a while, when there is a predisposition, hereditary or acquired, re- covery from pneumonia may be followed by that dreaded disease pulmonary phthisis, commonly called consumption, but by physi- clans tuberculosis York World.

Anna Dickinson.

To one who remembers how great figure Anna Dickinson cut a quarter of century ago, there is something not merely mourn full. but almost shocking, in the neglect with which the great public treats her. To the mass of the northern people she was for a time sort of inspired prophecies; they crowded to listen to her harangues with en- Jhusiasm, and took her most careless and petulent utterances for sublime truths; and 5he slightest gossip about her life, her dress, ner peculiarities, were almost as largely read as the news from armies in the field. And now she is poor and almost forgotten Rochester Post Express.

 But she little her wants understood Ball, Cartridg. S, morning and night,
 Is dose that will do her more good. It is a new and more effectual policy. He asked for bread and they gave him a stone was the old idea; but bullets ana bayonets are more effective agencies for reducing nation to subjection or annihll ating it. Ard this is Balfours patent process for the pacifcation of Ireland

This is the interpretation o1 the activity in the arsenals of Woolwich and Sheernes.

 And this is no new policy of England's $ minister in Ireland. Balfour had pre- decessor and precedent in the act ot robbing by subjugation, Lord Castlereagh another Chief Secretary of Ireland-at the close of the last century gave the bril- liant example to Balfour; he persecuted the mere Irish by all the hellish contrivances at the command of Dublin Castle. Irish Parliamentary independence won by Grat- tan and the Volunteers of 'S2 was too much for the curled darling of an alien aristocracy; he paved the way for the in famous measure the Legislative Union by crime and corruption; he provoked the abortive rebellion of '99 in a few counties but though abortive it was not without example of the courage and endurance o1 the patriots; priests headed the people o1 the field of fight; and the memory of Gen eral Father John Murphy and his defenc, of Boulaorgal chapel is cherished to-day in Wexford as the dual condition of pries and soldier What Castlereagh lacked in th, agencies of persecution and provocatiol he made up by secret emissaries and brib cry.

THAT DEMOCRATIC DISRUPTION A:
 NEW HAVEN.

Correspondents at New Haven, Bridge port, New Britain, Hartford and other places have put to us a variety of questions respecting the Troup troubles and the Irish section of our great Demo- cratic party. And one writer at Meriden says: I seek information from the DEMOCRAT, as your paper from the beginning entered with more earnestness in the fight than papers of New Haven whose particular province it was to see it out" There was no particular province in the matter. The question was, to be sure, of New Haven origin, but its significance extended over the whole State of Connecticut. A disin- tegration, or disruption of our Democratic success concerns every electoral division and district within our borders; in the Presidential vote we count not except as matter of pride, as localities; the saving of the State and taking it out of the list of estimated "doubtfuls" is the first concern, and that is why we, at this distance, entered so earnestly in the discussion with the superadded incentive, perhaps, that we were defending the race, religion and na- tionality of the element in our citizenship most dear to us.
 The questions we are asked to solve are: Has the matter dropped altogether? What is its position at the present and it's pros poets for the future? What are the steps to be taken, if any, for further ventilation of the subjects The only one of these questions we are at liberty to answer is the first. The matter has not dropped alto gether, but no formal steps have been taken yet, notwithstanding the veracious report from Washington of the veitable Yale professor. The fl r her proceeding is in good hands; we believe there will not be any surrender of the principle involved. Oui grounds of this belief we reserve acting on the philosophy of Robert Burns "Stil keep something to yourself you'll ne'el reveal to any" We will be prepared when the time comes to renew the stand we have taken-not from any feelings agains, MT Troup, for we have none, personal ol 'ofessional-not from any particular favor to MT Troup's accusers, for the ques tions of political union and integrity are just now to us of higher moment than in dividual friendship. On these broad lines we shall-forgive the slang-box oul course to the bitter end
 This much to-day in general reply to ou1 numerous correspondents.
