The District government has fined . local
Ga company eloo for poor gas furnished to the
city on . recent evening. But what redress
has the individual consumer against the impo-
sition OF gas which fails to illuminate, meas
ursd with . lively meter, and charged for at an
extravagant price, payment of which is secured
by an enforced loan to the gas company An
early solution Of this problem is asked from
Senator Spooner, upon whom the down-trodden
Sas-consumers place their hopes Of relief.

Representative Cummings furnishes the fun
this year at the expense Of the creeks, which
are the henehciaries Of the river and harbor
bm But every creek has at least one vote,
and IN union thsre is strength. The creeks are
invisible, and can bear philosophically the
customary joking at their expense, since they
are sure Of Improvement appropriations at the
expense Of the government. The river and
harhor bill Of this session as submitted to the
House has . feature Of unusual merit in the
proposed appropriation for the improvement Of
the Potomac. This is large river and there
r. hsrbor at Washington to be improved, an
the House, recognizing some inconsistency in
placing it among the harborless creeks in the
river and harbor bill, has in the past omitted
it altogether, leaving the appropriation for the
river Of the capital to be proposed by the
Senate. This year wiser and juster counsels
have prevailed.

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

In reply to an inquiry as to how to
keep sweet potatoes for family use. we
would say dry for three or four days in
bright sunshine. Do not let the
nights dews come upon them. Put in
barrels, after thus being dried, with
dry sawdust. In good cellar they
will keep first rate in this way. The
correspondent who makes this inquiry
says: 81 live in Michigan in a sec
ton that has never grown any
sweet potatoes. But this year
l have tried it, and succeeded.
and l believe that sweet pota-
toes can be grown further north than is
generally supposed" There is no great
difficulty in growing sweet potatoes in
many sections where they are not
grown, tor family use. But for COM
plete success the extreme North does
not present the conditions. In grow
ing fruit or vegetables for the family
we believe in growing what will dc
even moderately well. Michigan has
a good deal of soil and good deal OF
climate that are favorable to sweet DO
tato growing. Western Rural

hatched early in the season are kept

Matched early in the season are kept
over to replace the hens. This is all
wrong. A pullet is not matured until
she is at least one year old, and al
though she may lay, yet the eggs are
not always the best for Matching pur-
poses. 1t is an annual sacrifice-the
slaughter of the hens--that should
cease. If not discontinued the poultry
of this country will gradually lose vigor
and the average number of eggs laid
will fall of. In fact, every year we
can point to new difficulties. such as
diseases and failure to lay, the weak
ness of chicks and the lack of ability to
Withstand severe winters. Pullets
may, indeed, be kept for laying,
but for reproducing the stock the hens
alone should be used. There is mis-
take made by selling of the molting
hens. If they are permitted to remain
and shed their feathers they can be re-
lied upon as the best of winter layers,
especially if they begin to molt SO as
to finish the process before winter be-
gins. The molting hen requires food
rich in nitrogen. The best food is a
teaspoonful Of linseed meal mixed with
bran, meal and ground oats, made into
crumbly (not sticky dough, in the
morning, with meat three times a week
(at noon) with wheat at night. If fed
in this manner she will in ten weeks
shed her feathers, and be in prime con-
dition for work, her eggs will hatch
strong. vigorous chicks, and she will
be able to 60 through the winter with
out difficulty.-Nor' West Farmer.

Food For Bees.

James Heddon, of Dowagiac, Mich,
gives formula for preparing food
for bees, which is highly recommend
ed. 1t is as follows: '1nto a boiling
pan put three pounds Of water, heat it
until it boils, and with wooden pad
die stir this boiling water as you sift
into it ten pounds of granulated sugar.
When it is all dissolved, and
the sirup is boiling, pour into
it half a teacupful OF water,
in which has previously been dissolved
large teaspoon level full of tartaric
acid. Stir it a moment longer, and
then remove it from the fire. This
sirup will not crystalize if the acid is
used in proportion mentioned, and is
of full strength, and the sirup is boil
ed as directed. Such sirup, when cool, ,
is the consistency of honey, and the
bees store and seal itas readily as they
receive it.-Dctroit Free Press.

HERE AND THERE.

1t requires firmness and self denial
to buy only what you can pay for, but
without it you are in danger of getting
into the habit of buying on time and
being always in debt
The farmer is more tempted to run
in debt than any other man, because
dealers are so willing to trust him; his
farm is a good basis for security, and
it is property which can not be hidden
or carried away.
I'm the strawberry patch the work
of keeping down the weeds and grass
can be kept up until we have hard
frost. If discontinued too early some
will mature seed and add to the work
of keeping clean next year.
1t is an easy matter to have small,
steady income to meet the little out
goes. The most prosperous farmers
are those who rarely go to town with
out a package of butter. a basket OF
eggs, some poultry. fruit or vegetables
to help pay the bills.
1t is unwise to put colts to hard
work very young. Not only the phys
ical system, but the disposition is
liable to be injured. The best judges
agree that no colt intended for agri-
cultural labor ought TO be hard-worked
before it is three years old.
-Thirty-three pounds of Swede tur:
nips per day il fed whole and sepa-
rately will taste milk, but when sliced
and mixed with an equal quantity OF
mangels, or when pulped and mixed
with hay. will not give a bad flavor,
says Prof. Brown, of Ontario.
DO not try to force your puilets to
early laying. Those that begin to lay
at four and five months old become
dwarfed in size. The growth IL
checked, as can easily be understood
Then, early layers never attain to the
size of the birds that begin to lay late
in the season.
1T should be remembered thai
young trees and plants require gooe
care and attention, at least until goot
start to grow has been secured Neg
lect is the principal cause of trees fail

POINTS ON THE COW.

THE shoulder and lateral distance in tho
heart and lung region bctokens the consti-
tuition of an animal; a cow that is narrow in
the brisket is not robust and win require
extra care.
THE texture of the skin--feel or handling
Ia quality which can only be learned by OBJ
servation in mellow-slrnned and hard
hided animals, is of much Importance in Sc
lectlng cattle for any purpose.
A CLEAN-cUT, bony head, with prominent
eye, Is desirable in the dairy cow, but many
good cow has motherly look about the
rather coarse face, supplemented by such a
mild, full eye, which one unhesitatingly in
sists must belong to good COW.
In selecting a cow fenHnine appearance
is leading characteristic, and this point is
clearly shown in the head, neck and shouI-
ders. The horn also indicates that fine
qualify so desirable in the female in contra
distinction to the masculine effect of o
heavier horn on the male.
The paunch of a COW is what the boiler is
to the steam engine. Without capacious
stomach she can not digest and assimiiate
the food necessary to produce great flow
of milk, and the more horizontally the ribs
project from the spine the greater is that
autIldiS CdptCity W trduSullt lOuutE lutO u
more valuable product.
A COW to be a liberal performer at the
pail must have a capacious udder. The
most approved form of which is long, from
front to rear, and extending well upward
Teats should be Of fair size and set well
apart; the skin should be covered with fine
short hair. A fiesby, penduious udder is
not wanted, as it interferes with the cows
locomotion.
As ONE of the tenets in our cowology we
like to call attention to the escutcheon, and
if accompanied by a pair of rudimentary
