SHEEP, according to the Sheep-Breed-
CT and oot-GrOIcer, almost invariably
prefer southern hillside to northern,
because the grass is shorter. tenderer,
and sweeter ON the former. If they
have become accustomed to range freely
on both, and fence is then run across
the top of the hill, they will linger
along it many hours of the day, gaziGg
wistfully through toward their favorite,
sunny slope.

FARM NOTES.

FAIL FEEDING FOR Cows.-Time
is to be taken by the forelock, and TO
prepare early for the fall feeding OF COWS
is carrying out this wise principle.
When the season i about 10 end, feed
is usually scarce and poor, because pre-
partitions are not made for 1t III good
time, and the product of milk falls off
at the very time when it should be kept
up for winter profit. Once cow loses
milk il is very difficult, and in many
cases, impossible TO restore il. Hence,
fresh. succulent food must be provided
for. The best recourse Is a field of
aftermath, grass or clover or pasture
which has been reserved especially for
the purpose. 1t may be too late now to
remedy a failure for the present season,
but the warning should be needed i'll
time for another year. Still, something
may yet he done. y planting of early
kinds of sweet corn, Sown in rows
eighteen inches apart and three inches
apart in the rows, Will very soon afford
very acceptable feed. Millet may be
Sown for pasture; oats sown in August
or September will make the best of pas
ture for the early autumn, and rye will
serve TO follow after the early froSts. If
no other way can be found, some Cf the
best hay, with 4 liberal ration of corn
meal, should be given as soon as the
outdoor FORAGE has become scarce.
Later, the small po ;ItoeS may serve as
.succulent food along with the hay.
Malt sprouts STEPPED in water and
mixed with cut hay have increased the
miIk-yield more than pasture las done.
This food IS very pleasant and pllatable
TO the cows, and exceedingly nutritious
and productive of rich milk. 1t can be
purchased cheaply in summer and fall
when it is not much in demand. Bran
and shorts have great value both as
food products and for enriching the
manure, and cottOn-seed meal fed with
care and judgment is valuable. Apples
are worth more to feed to COWS than for
cider

STUFFED ToMAToES-Get them as
large and firm as possible; cut a round
piece in the top; scrape out all the soft
parts; mix with stale bread crumbs,

carefully; bake in a moderately hot
oven; put little butter in the pan and

MANY of the dairy authorities, :"
says the Rural Nelo Yorker, ''advise
the growing of parsnips as food for
butter cows. Many claim that this
root is better titan the carrot as a but
reproducing food. 1t is frequently
said that large quantities of parsnips
are grown on the Island of Jersey.
Have any of our American dairymen
ever grown the root on large scale?"

A MIsTAKEN MONsIGNOR.

Mgr Satolli on his return to Rome re-
ported, say the dispatches, to the Pope
that a good reception was accorded him in
America. He said "he found the civil
authorities willing to grant full liberty to
Catholics, and expressed his belief that
the United States Government is favorable
to accrediting a diplomatic representative
to the Vatican" Why the Monsignor
should have made any such report passes
comprehension. When he said to his
spiritual master that the United States
was willing to grant to Catholics full lib
erty, did he mean to imply that they are
not now in the enjoyment of the same lib
critics as any other and all other classes of
religionists? Certainly his language is
susceptible of that construction. 1t would
be interesting to learn from what officials
of the United States Government the
Pope's agent received the impression that
there viii be sent to the Vatican an ac-
credited representative of the United
States. If any official gave that gentle
man reason to believe that such will be
the policy of the United States, he counted
without his host To this Government
the Pope of Rome is not a civic ruler he
does not represent a Government any more
than do the heads of other great churches.
I he theory of the American Government
is that it can have no political relations
with church. 1t will not recognize any
church as a political power at any time. 1t
will no more send a Minister to the Vati-
can than it will accredit one to the Presi-
dent of the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat
ter Day Saints-otherwise known as the
Mormon Church. 1t is proposed to per-
petuate the policy that keeps church and
State wide apart in America, and whoever
undertakes to invade and destroy that
policy viii be crushed between the upper
and neither mill stones of a peoples wrath.
In this country the Catholic always has
had, and always will and should have, as
full enjoyment of civil liberty and relig-
ious freedom as the devotee of the Greek |
church, the deluded followers of Joe
Smith, or the membership of the Luth-
eran, the Presbyterian, Methodist and all
other churches-not more, and no less
and such privileges, liberties and freedom ;
are not more nor less than those enjoyed
by any citizen of the Republic, whether a |
member of a religious organization or of |
none

The condensation, in FIVE cases out of ten,
will not meet the approval of the officer,
and he takes the risk of the points he
wished most to be considered being either
omitted, or treated with such curtness
that the desired effect is lost.
If official reports must be long, and
there are some we concede must embrace
the proofs in support of the propositions
made, let the official accompany them with
syllabi. The Department of Mines and
Mining, and the Bureau of Engineering,
we believe, do this and send to the press
with their reports sheet of synopsis.
The result is that the official syllibus is at
once accepted by the newspaper man, and
in most cases is published in full. This
matter of lengthy reports is, as our con-
temporary suggests, largely one of pre-
cedent and tradition.
In the beginning an elaborate and roundabout
method was adopted, and il has been perpetu-
ated simply by force OF habit We have the
reputation of being the most practical people in
the wOrld-a distinction VIII eh is justified by
our prevailing business rules and customs-and
yet our public documents, which should be our
best witnesses in that behalf, are constant dis
arrangement. The need of reform grows more
clear and pressing every year. If these vol
luminous details must be printed, let them be
massed into a stupid volume by themselves, for
the erankS and experts to make the most of.
IL IS possible 10 present the facts and figures of
legitiT ate value in an agreeable and instruct
i've style, whereas they are now set forth with
such copiOus accompaniment of things trivial
and perplexing that the country finds II q task
and bore to fish them out.
But it is something more than a matter
of precedent and tradition; it is matter
of ambition. Each official tries to Guido
his predecessor in the elaborateness of his
report, under the mistaken idea that the
importance of his services will be estimated
by the length of the matter in which he
treats of the transactions of his depart
ment. The conciseness of the Colonel who
reported to his commanding officer the re-
suit of desperate charge, 81 have taken
the fort" is not cited as an example of de-
sired brevity, since that, in an official ac-
count of years transactions, would be
curtness that would be objectionable but
a concise, straightforward, clear statement
of facts and conclusions will find approval
among the people, and general reading,
which is what is most needed. Legislat-
ors and heads of departments needing de-
tails know how and where to procure them.

LONG REPORTS.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat echoes
Presidsnt Lincoln's exclamation to one of
his department officers who had submitted
a long and elaborate report, to which the
President had not the time to give for a
thorough reading, "Why don't you con-
dense?" The mistake of long reports is
more grievous to-day than it was in his
time. 1t is safe to say that not one-third
of the official reports are read, because of
their tiresome length. What the people
want in this day of bitter competition,
when moments are as valuable as hours
once were, is brevity. If the long editorial
is Objectionable, how much more so is the
long report. Officials should keep in full
view this important fact, that if their re-
ports are lengthy, thenewspaper man feels
it due to his clientage to condense them.

Z HE donation by Colonel Charles F.
Croker of $4,000 to the institution where
he received his educational training is a
graceful and generous acknowledgment on
his part. 1t testifes to the high estimate
he sets upon such an institution, and the
value of its system, which he has had
ample opportunity to test by application
in the affairs of busy life, and concern
ment with great monetary and industrial
enterprises. Nothing more emphatically
bears testimony to the excellence of Amer
lean educational institutions then the
voluntary contributions of their one time
pupils to their maintenance.

ate protection of the Federal Government,
through the agency of Commission.
The withdrawal of all such lands from
sale and entry. and their commitment to
the Commission which is to manage and
control them and advise the Government
concerning their preservation and the dis
posal of such as it may be deemed wise to
sell. Timber lands are to be divided into
three classes, those having timber of COM
mercial value and which are removed dis
tant from the headwaters of streams ;
those partly covered by timber but more
valuable for the purposes Of agriculture;
those which for climatic and economic
reasons should remain forest preserves.
The commission is to examine all the
lands OF each kind, report their classified
ton, and advise what part of them should
be retained in their native condition, and
which can be disposed of without disad-
vantage to the public interest. In the
meantime all timber lands are to be with
drawn from survey, and until the Govern
ment determines what portion of them
should be made permanent forest reserves.
The measure goes on to direct how the
lands shall be classified, and how those to
be sold shall be disposed of, and outlines
scheme that, if it becomes law, will effect
ually put stop to timber thieving and
the absorption of vast timber tracts by the
few. It likewise provides a system by
which the lands valuable for agricultural
purposes may be sold on the basis of two
values-the land and the timber value.
The occupancy of timber lands for saw
mills for manufacturing from timber is
prohibited, and severe penalties for the
violation of the law are imposed, while au-
thorization is given for the employment of
the army and navy, if need be, to put a
stop to unlawful timber cutting.
The fate of this important measure will
be awaited with keen interest. There are
forces that will combine for the defeat of
the bill, and We must not expect that
the interests antagonistic to it viii spare
either means or sophistry to throttle it.
Simply and plainly, and upon its face, the
bill is wise, just and of first interest TO the
people, the navigation of their rivers, the
equability of the climate, the promotion
of industries in wood, the conservation of
agriculture, and the just distribution of
the public lands with lair reward to the
Government for them.

LETTER FROM A CLERGYMAN.
Grateful Acknowledgment of Cures by

stinate skin diseases by the Cuticura
Remedies. Praises them everywhere
in the pulpit, home, and in the street.
For about thirteen years l have been troubled
with eczema or some other cutaneous disease
which all remedies failed to cure. Hearing of
the CUTICURA REMEDIES, resolved to give them
a trial and purchased one bottle OF CUTIcURA
REsoLvENT one box Of CUTICURA, and one cake
CUTICURA SOAP. followed the directions care
fully, and it affords me much pleasure TO say
that before using two boxes of the CUrcURA.
four cakes of CUTICURA SOAP, and one bottle of
CUTICURA REsoLvENT, was entirely cured.
In addition to my own case, my baby boy,
then about five months old, was suffering with
what I supposed to be the same disease as mine
to such an extent that his head was coated over
with a solid scab, from which there was a con-
slant flow of pus, which was sickening to look
upon, besides two large. tumor-like kernels on
the hack of his head. Thanks to you and your
wonderful CuTIcuRA REMEDIES, his scalp IS per-
fectly well, and the kernels have been scattered
so that there is only one little place by his left
ear, and that is healing nicely. Instead of
coating of scabs, he has fine coat of hair,
much better than that which was destroyed by
the disease. ! would that the whole world
of sufferers from skin and blood diseases knew
the value of your CUTICURA REMEDIES as do.
The CUTIcURA SOAP and CUTICURA REsoLvEST
are each worth ten times the price at which
they are sold. l have never used any other
toilet soap in my house since bought the first
cake of your CUTTCURA SOAP. l would be inhu-
man as well as ungrateful should fail to speak
well of and recommend your CUTICURA RENE
DIES to every sufferer who came in my reach.

of it, IRON the pulpit, in the homes and in the
