THE bane' of our state government is
the annual tinkering with the laws. Not
sensible and well informed man but
knows that if Legislatures could be dis
pensed with for five years the people
would be great gamers.
No temperance law that has been en-
acted in Ohio since the adoption of the
present Constitution has been SO benef-
cent and useful as the Dow law. 1t is
easily enforced, because upheld by pub
lie opinion, and because its requirements
are plain and not easily evaded. 1t is
the result of experience, and was obtain
ed amid great difficulties. Yet states
men in, abundance in the Legislature are
loaded with amendments.
The Constitution expressly provides
that Legislatures shall hold biennial ses-
sions only, and yet that provision has
been boldly violated by our law makers,
without exception, ever since its adop-
ton. .....

CHEAPER RAILROAD FARES.

CHEABER RAILROAD FARES.
Lima Gazette.
A bill is already before the Ohio Gen.
eral Assembly which fixes two cents a
mile as the limit for railway passenger
fares. 1t is enough, and the bill should
be passed, The railways. would lose no
thing, for the increased travel would more
than repay them.
Columbus Dispatch
The trouble with the bill now before
the Legislature to reduce railroad fares,
is that it provides for too much. 1t in
cludes a proposed reduction of both pas
senger and freight rates. Some members
of the Legislature may be unwilling to
vote for both. Both propositions are
worthy of adoption. To make adoption
more certain, let them be offered in sep
arate bills. In that event there can be no
ground for excuses Members will be
put in position to vote for or against
measures which harm nobody and do JUS
ticeto the people. The sleeping car mat
ter should be settled upon its own merits.

GEN: WILLIAM T. SHERMAN occupies
two bedrooms and a parlOr adjoining on
the second floor OF the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel, New York One of the bedrooms is
reserved for his own use The other is
occupied by one of his daughters Miss
Rachel or Miss Lizzie. Mrs. Sherman is
not in good health just now, and she finds
that the atmosphere of MOrristown, n.
j., is more agreeable to her than that of
New York. The daughters divide their
time between New Y ork and MorristOwn,
so as to be in turn with their father and
mother. Gen. Sherman finds that con-
slant dining-Out has effected his ostrich
like digestion, and he begins the new
year with a good resolution, namely, that
he will accept only three dining-out en-
gagements per week. He has resolved
to keep to this rule religiOusly. He is
very Scrupulous on the point of returning
calls, particularly those made by old COM
rades in arms.

Mr.. Jos. II. DENIIAN, live and pro-
gressive agriculturalist, of this vicinity,
who has been experimenting successful
ly recently with ensilage, showed us last
week what we judged to be a fine sam
pie of ensilage, taken from his silo, and
gave us some interesting figures con-
cerning the cost of silos and the value
of their product as food. Mr. d. says
that "a silo can be built where everything
that goes into it is bought, for less than
81 per ton of its capacity. Where the
lumber can be had on the farm, the ex-
pense need not exceed so cents per ton
is or 20 tons can be grown ON ordina-
~ good land, and on very rich land from
25 to 30 tons. One ton will keep cow
one month, with little hay at noon
each hay. The crop can be raised and
harvested for 81 per ton, including rent
of land The first silo was built in the
United States in 1880, and now there
are near 10000. 1t is as near perfect
feed as can be found except June grass" :"

THE BILLIARDS. FURY.

The mercury fell rapidly, and by .
o'clock it was 10 degrees below zero, and
the next morning it registered 30 degrees
below. All the while the wind increased
in fury-the snow fell thicker, and the
large amount of snow that was already on
the ground was blown into powder and
hurled along by the wind. On the prairie
an object forty feet distant could not be
seen. a mans voice could not be heard
six feet distant. The air was full of snow
rs fine as flour, and the roaring of the
wind and the darkness caused by so much
snow in the air, made the scene the most
dismal, dreary and fOrsaken that man
ever looked upon Every railroad in Da-
kota and Minnesota, and many Iowa, Ne
braska and Wisconsin railroads were
blocked.
Telegraph wires everywhere were down,
and it was not until yesterday that the full
extent and awful results of the storm be-
came apparent The telegraph hourly

Time to Cut Timothy and Clover.

Pennsylvania College Experimental Farm.
The main factors affecting the value of
the hay crop are quantity and quality,
and, as is well known, both these are in
fuenced materially by the age at which
the grass is cut. At present, practice
varies with different localities, though it
is probable that the maj ority of farmers
cut timothy when in bloom, or soon after.
A great deal of clover, however. stands
until the heads are partly or wholly dead.
1t seems to be quite generally held that
grass in the last stages of maturity fur
nishes the maximum quantity of hay, but
of poorer quality than If it had been
cut earlier. Doubtless no one rule should
be followed under all conditions of prac-
tice. The demands of other branches of
farm work, the use for which the hay is
intended, the kind of grass to be cut,
these and other considerations determine
what is wisest in each individual case.
TIE following facts concerning the cut
ting of grass, which have been obtained
by the experiments of two years, will be
made the basis of only such conclusions
as each reader sees fit to draw for his o Fn
practice. Positive statements here Will
be confined strictly to matters OF fact.
The figures given below were obtained in
the following way: From one to two
acres of grass, especially uniform in char
acter and growth, were selected each year
for each experiment. These carefully
measured areas were divided into two or
more equal plots being cut at each stage

Butter Washing.

Nevertheless, the Danes were wrong
in one particular-they washed their but
ter in the buttermiIk and not in cold
water, thus enclosing much casejn or curd,
and that it was which prevented their
butter preserving a fine flavor on arrival
here. 1t could not compare with our
butter for this reason, or even with the
French. We could beat either if we lik-
ed, and we we're gradually doing it. Pre-
serving butter depended entirely upon
the removal of the curd, and not upon the
presence of salt. This he had proved
most distinctly, for he would guarantee
that butter made in his dairy In May
should be sold in November, and no one
but an expert would know but that it was
fresh butter made the week before. In
fact he preserved butter in May last and
sold it in November at Is. 4d. per
pound, and the secret was in enterely re-
moving the curd or casein by washing
the butter granules in cold water till the
WAGER came out of the churn perfectly
clear, only a very slight sailing being
needed.
