How Animals Eat Grass.

1t is a well-known fact that the diff.
ferent domestic animals Of the farm all
pull and eat their grass in different
ways This is partly due to several
causes, such as the prediction OF
each kind for particular grasses and
aversion to others, and also the ar
rangement of the incisor teeth in the
mouth, as well as the size OF the muz-
zle itself. The sheep is one Of the
closest feeders we have; in fact with the
exception of the rabbit and the kanga-
roo, it will eat pasture barer than
any other animal This is, OF course,
due to the small size of the mouth. to-
gether with its prediction fof the finer
grasses. Next to the sheep comes the
horse in this respect, for, although his
mouth is large, yet the fact that he has
teeth above and below, enables him to
bite close. 1t is very noticeable in
pasture where horses are alone that
they cat over the land very unequally.
Some OF the "sweeter" spots are not
touched, but left rough. Cattle, on the
other hand, have not only a large
muzzle, but also the absence of upper
teeth, so that, Of necessity, they can
not bite fine or close, and, therefore,
we find with them that their grass is
rougher and less bare in parts than
with the others. Western Rural.

hARRISON'S DISGRACE.
An Interview Disgraceful Both to til,
President and the People.

An Interview Disgraceful Both to the
President and the People.
The President has allowed himself
to be interviewed by d representative
of the Milwaukee Herald on the sub
ject of appointing German-Americans
to Office. Mr. Harrison defended him
self against the allegation that he was
not friendly to the German Americans,
and declared that that body of voters
would eventually be satisfied with
what he did for them. A further
statement is made, not as coming from
the President, but rather as deduc-
ton from what was said, that he had
done quite as we'll by the German
Americans as Cleveland had done in
the first few n onths of his term.
No more disgraceful episode than
this has ever occurred in American
politics. For a President of the
United States to stand and deliver on
demand his reasons or excuses for not
appointing a certain class of his sup
porters to Office is the most humiliat-
ing spectacle the American people
have yet seen. 1t shows, too, the re-
gard Mr.. Harrison has for his office.
He apparently looks upon himself as
an almOner of Offices, and that he was
elected for the purpose OF parceling
out 1.-The spoils" among those whose
votes elevated him to the place. He

per, for not recognizing this or that
nationality OF his party. Two or
three of the Presidents have, possibly,
been as moderate in intellectual ca
pacity as Mr.. Harrison. but they were
men of great self-respect and would
have no more responded to the imper-
tinent queries of a wandering news
paper reporter than they would have
thought of exhibiting themselves in
Barnum's Museum.
From any standpoint the interview
is disgraceful both to the President and
the people. II makes no difference to the
people whether the German -Ameri-
cans. the Irish-Americans or Ameri-
can Americans have each their due
share of offices or not Nor is it the
Presidents duty to see that an equilib-
rum of Office is maintained between

sinetion in party natlonalities should

HERE AND THERE.

Now is good time to pillow up
patch of ground for fall turnips and
rutabagas. and if it is intended to SOW
even small patch it will pay to do
this much now.
In setting out trees OF all kinds it
should be kept in mind that they will
grow; and allowance should be made
for the room they will occupy as they
get bigger.
When the Strawberries are done
bearing it will be found a good plan to
remove the mulch and give as thor
ough cultivation as possible; if plants
are not wanted keep down the runners.
When the earlier crops have ma
tured, remove and plant something
else in their place. Keep the soil oc-
cupied all during the growing season.
This plan will prove of material aid in
keeping down the weeds.
Trim back the wood of unprofta-
BILE pear trees, and apply a good dress
ing of wood ashes, taking pains to
work we'll into the soil. and then give
the trunk good washing with soap
suds.
1t would undoubtedly help materi-
ally in keeping down insect pests of all
kinds in the garden, the orchard and
grain crops if more concerted effort
could be made against them in each
neighborhOod.
So far as possible no fruit should
be allowed to go to waste. What is not

tages hould be dried, evaporated, canned
or put up in such shape that it can
be kept for use during the winter.
When there is good crop and
prices are low does not always in
dictate that no profit is realized, for
with a fair crop fruits OF nearly all
kinds can be raised for market at a
very small cost, and can be sold cheap
and yet be profitable.
Fall pigs. if given the run OF a
good clover field and then fed all the
corn they will eat. will fatten very
rapidly. and it will in many cases be
better to fatten and market now than
TO feed all summer and then fatten in
the fall.
If the pigs are allowed the run Of
the pastures it will be found good
plan to provide a covered trough with
salt and ashes arranged SO that they
can help themselves to what they want.
A little copperas will add to the value
as health preserver.
Properly managed a good brood
SOW can be made one of the most
profitable animals on the farm. says a
contemporary. Two good litters OF
pigs can easily be secured, aud with
good feed and care some increase at
least can be secured in short time.

ton-seed hulls and cotton-sced meal

ton-seed bulls and cottou-seed meal
alone.
Seven years ago Mr.. A. j. Wick. =
Texan, turned some cattle into n los
for the night On the ground were
some cotton-seed bulls, thrown there
to fertilize the land. as they were
thought to be fit for nothing else. The
cattle ate the bulls and seemed to en-
joy them. They were given more,
mixed with cottou-seed meal, and they
waxed fat. In few months they were
sold for 6 cents on foot, and Nc. Wick,
who had bought them poor, made a
profit Of $lS head.
He has been feeding cattle on cotton
seed meal and bulls ever since, and has
been making money every year. Last
year the firm of A. J. Wick & Co., in
Guiding the two divers and Mr.. Tomp-
kins, OF the Southern Cotton Oil Com
pany, fed ut Houston, New Orleans,
Memphis and Little Rock $500 cattle
and made about $40. 600 profit.
Cotton-seed meal and bulls are or
dinarily supposed to be better for fer
tilizers than for any other purpose;
but by feeding them to cattle the fer
tilizing qualities are not dimished, and
the steer puts on $50 to 200 pounds of
flesh during the operation.
Mr. Oliver remarked that from the
l, 400 cattle he had sold so twenty-ton
carloads OF fertilizer at 81. 25 a ton-a
small matter of 1900, which doubt
less paid all the expense OF labor in
handling and feeding. Mr.. Wick said
that he had been giving away the fer
tilizer of 1000 cattle at Little Rock.
but would sell it next year, and the
party who had been hauling it away
wanted to pay $1,000 for it next year
and haul it himself
A good many farmers, heretofore.
have been using cottonseed meal and
hulls as fertilizers. but the additional
profit gotten by feeding them first is n
new thing. The farmer is in better
position to realize it than any one else,
because he can realize the full value
of the fertilizer while this cattle firm
has to sell it for little or nothing, or
give it away, to get it out of the way.
The relation OF the new cattle-feed-
ing system to the dressed beef industry
is interesting.
Thny are naturally and almost in
evitably competitors. Dressed beef
has been unusually low this year, and
has about driven out the demand for
local beef. There were some who said
that they would do this and put up
prices when the local cattle interest
had died out.
By the new system Mr.. Oliver says
he can compete with the Western beef.
and furnish as good an article. They
fattened 400 cattle this past winter
and have sold off about 800. Some of
them were sold to Mr. Tye, and some
shipped to Savannah and other parts
of the State.
Mr. Oliver says the meat is the ideal
pale pink or white meat" that tho
butchers clamor for, and the flesh is
tender and juicy.
There is no telling what will come
out of the cotton plant. Edward At
kinson said that if the New England
people had it they would get rich out
of the stalk and the seed if they had to
throw away the lint. We seem just
beginning TO learn the value OF the
crop. Atlanta Constitution.
