THE A R AMI GARDEN.
MEASUREMENT OF HAY.

a NOV twenty-five feet long, eighteen
rect wide and twelve feet high, filled
with clear timothy hay which has been
pressed by the weight Of wheat piled on
the top of it will contain about fifteen
IONS OF hay, estimating $50 cubic feet
70 the ton. But if the hay is mixed with
clover, or with red top and other common
grasses, there will not be more than ten
tons In the NOW. 1t is difficult to esti-
mate the weight Of hay without seeing
1t, as there is SO much variation in quality
and kind as to greatly interfere with an

There are many different opinions
as to the cause of badness. Some of
the eminent medical authorities state
that it is caused by a form of dand-
ruff. This, it is claimed, has been
verified by taking the hair which
has fallen off in such cases,
rubbing it up with vaseline, and,
after applying the ointment
made to the fur of rabbits, baldnen
has rapidly made its appearance oe
the parts so treated. When vaselins
alone was used this result did not
follow. The same authority says that
the disease is spread by hair dress
ers, who employ combs and brushes
on their customers, one after another,
without regard to the cleanliness of
those articles. Woman are less
liable to be affected by this form of
badness, for the reason that their
hair is usually dressed at home.
On the other hand, some claim that
to frequent cutting of the hair is de-
trimental. The hair, in some respects,
resembles tree. Suppose the gar
dener were to clip all the limbs from
tree, regardless of the season of the
year as soon az they were two or
| three feet in length. How long could
the tree be expected to survive?
There is a fluid substance in each
hair, from which the hair gets its
nourishment, the same as the tree
get its life and growth from the saI
which is conducted from its roots
Break the bark of a tree, and you will
soon see the sap running down the
trunk. The same thing is believed
10 take place when hair is cut, only
it is not visible to the naked eye.
A number of the better class of bar
bers are endeavoring to overcome thi!
evil by smuggling the ends of the hal
after cutting. This Theoretically seal
the ends and prevents the escape o
any fluid. This operation is perform
ed with the aid OF q small wax taper
The hair is raised from the head will
a comb, and the lighted taper passed
rapidly across the ends. The opera
ton is neither tedious nor unpleas
ant. Those that practice this style 0
treating the hair state that Rucl
good has resulted from the process.

EXTRA Session.

ROoC01n0On VImeU.
Petitions are being circulated through
ont the state asking Governor Humphrey
to call special session of the legislature
for the passage of n stay law. The Pc
tifion emanates from the Farmers Alii-
ance and ia being circulated To nearly
every county in the state. 1t is receiv-
ing signatures of a very large number OF
farmers and it begins to look as though
the Alliance would make quite fOrmid-
able showing in demanding an extra ses-
sien. Already a large number of these
petitions have been received at the exec
utize Office and the gentlemen who are
engineering the movement say that by
the 18th of the present month the governor
via be convinced that the farmers are in
earnest when they ask that the law max
ers be convened. The petition Is In
printed form and reads Is follows:
WHEREAS, The shrinkage in values upon
both real estate and personal property In the
state of Kansas, In the past two years has
caused very great financial embarrassment
among the farmers Of our state, and In many
instances the farmers have become unable,
by reason of these shrinkages. to prevent
proceedings in foreclosure. which are increas-
ing to an alarming extent. We, the under.
signed electors of -- county, Kansas,
therefore respectfully petition your Excel
Iency to call a special session of the legisia-
ture of the state of Kansas for the purpose
of providing for the relief Of our farmers. by
the passage of a law giving the mortgagor OF
a homestead at least two years in which to
occupy, enjoy and redeem, If possible. after
sale of mortgaged premises, and to provide
also for a stay of execution on all judgments
on promissory notes and mortgage bonds for
a reasonable time after judgment, without
bond.
Another petition is being circulated
asking that special session be called to
amend the railroad laws and compel the
companies TO lower their transportation
rates.
