Farm Hints,


A paint brush is a handy implement
in oiling harness. If there is no
shade in the pasture put some there.
1t is not Ii good pasture without it.
The buggy and tool house should not
be built against the stable. Ceilings
that have been smoked by kerosene
lamp should be washed off with soda
water. Over-working butter makes
it whittier as we'll as softer-Don't
II we breed our colts in the autumn
we reduce their cost as the mare can
do team work all summer. Tan some
lamb skins to put in the bottom of the
carriage for warm feet. 1t takes the
best kind of brains to make good
farmer. If you have dull boy edu-
cate him for profession. 1t is Il good
time to dig a we'll when the waters are
low, for If found then the supply will
be likely to be permanent. The man
who grows into any special branch
OF farming is more likely to succeed
in it than the one who goes into
it. Many fence IS maintained to
protect crops from stock. the combined
value Of which would not equal the
cost of the fence. Teach the colt some
useful lesson every week this winter
| something that will have bearing
upon their life work. Never "break
them" Remember that colt is only
boy horse. fall the grain sacks ere
put into one and then suspended by a
wire from "a joist overhead. the mice
will not gnaw them. The surest way
to renew an old pasture is to scatter
manure over it in the autumn and SOW
the seed right afterward. Red top and
blue grass are the surest to grow and
to be permanent. Leather may be
blackcned with the following: Powder
| ed fine extract OF logwoodand bicromate
of potash. each one ounce. In half "a
gallon OF boiling rain water. In Il
corked bottle this mixture will keep
safely. Farm Journal

the Congress of Chill. which has just
closed the most remarkable and monentous
legislative session il the history of the
country. There has been long and de-
termined struggle between the executive
and legislative branches Of the government
which brought the republic to the verge of
revolution but has happily erded in Con-
gress pa, sing the new electoral Law, which
will secure to the people larger share of
electoral fres d ,m than they have hitherto
enjoyed, and will render possible the elcc-
ton of Congress and President r, Il citing
the will of the nation. Although the exec

ALBANY, n. Y, Ost Sl.--Govsynor Hill
has written letter TO Secretary Noble sec.
ola;ng Mayor Grants request for . re-
count Of the City OF New York's population
He says;
.Iazsmseh As you have based q Fefussi
under this authority, partly upon the
ground that you have received no satisfse-
tory evidence of the accuracy of the mu-
rieipai count, the Mayor Of New York has
am informed, furnished you with such

That conviction is undoubtedly based upon
your confidence in the thoroughness of the

the same confidence does not appear 10 be

Many were notofiously incompetent, ignor-

terest that the party from which they re.
ceived patronage should be beneficiary to
their labor. Under these conditions sus-
picion is hardly ju.tifsble that directly or

explain the effectiveness of the federal
count. Men and newspapers OF both par

1t is the outcome OF deep sense of the

Seems to Point Towards an Extra
Session.

Though the extra session idea has be-
come generally discrediied during the past
week or two. there are certain signs Oh.
servable in the departments which serve to
ladica'e that the idea is not al ogether dead
yet. They WAS a sudden scurrying about
of the various d,vi,ions this morning, and
a great show of activity in every branch
where the estimates are usually prepared.
In the Post Office Department Postmaster
General WanAmaker sent word to the
chiefs of every division that he wanted the
estimates for the appropriations for the
coming fiscal year by ) O'Clock this even
| ing, but it was 4 physical impossibiiity to
get the figures together at that hour and
| the consequence Is that the department is
lighted up tonight and nearly half the force
! of clerks is busy getting the estimates to
submit to the Treasury Department. The
Pos, Office Department. having the grestest
amount of work of this character TO do. is
pushed harder than any of the others The
Interior Department also shows signs of
greater activity than usual, and the various
chiefs of bureaus in the Treasury are all
at their posts tonight working upon their
| figures. II is the evident intention of the
Secretary of the Treasury to have the estl-
mates ready by the end of next week. and
many take this as indieatin, that the Presi-
dent intends to call Congress together be-
| fore its usual time tor meeting.
