HERE AND THERE.

Damp, wet locations for sheep are
promotive of foo rot and damp quarters
at night cause colds A sheep very
quickly succumbs to disease, and too
much care can not be given the flock in
providing dry quarters, shade and fresh
water.
1t is no easier to keep poultry than
to keep other stock, as labor and proper
management must be used to meet sue
cess. Less capital may be required in
poultry, but it must be judiciously ex-
pended, or loss can result as easily as
from any other source.
The farmer who makes his soil deep
and rich with high culture and manure,
and whose cattle are slick and gentle,
is tho one who complains least about
the depression in agriculture There is
depression, but it affects poor and un-
thinking farmers much more than the
opposite class
Veterinary surgeons state that the
milk is the first thing affected when
cow becomes ill, and that the milk will
show indications of coming milk-fever
and gargeta week before any outward
sign can be discovered. A sore, or any
thing that may be liable to poison the
blood, also poisons the milk at the same
time.
If farmers were as careful and sys.
tematic in the management of their
herds as the breeders of pure breeds are
with their cattle much better results
would be secured from ordinary stock.
Even the best breeds will fail If not
rightly managed, and all classes of stock
can be made more productive If extra
care be taken.
in young orchards weeds and grass
should not be allowed to grow. They
rob the ground of what should be there
for the fruit trees. 1t is different whore
trees are of large bearing size. Cultiva-
tion may cease then and grass be al
lowed, but even then manure OCCASION
ally applied about the trees Is great
help to them.
-Debilitated plants are the first to be
attacked by insects, whether in the
greenhouse or out of doors. There
fore endeavor by good food and good
treatment to keep the plants in vigor-
GUS health. Some persons contend that
it is the insects that weaken the plants
and not that the plants are first weak,
but little observation will show that
this Is not So
i 1t is perhaps cheaper to pasture the
cows where land is cheap, and on large
farms, but it will not pay on valuable
small farms, To use five acres instead
Of one is to lose the use Of four acres.
The selling system will at some future
time revolutionize the present methods,
the discovery of the preservation OF
green foods in the silo being the first
step in that direction.
Even when overproduction lowers
the price it does not pay any individual
farmer to allow the yield of his crops t.

The Speakers Gag Rule in Opposition to
His Former Views.


His Former Views.
O. O. Steady, the Washington cores
pondent of the Louisville Courier Jour.
nal, has unearthed copy OF the Chau-
tauquan of June, 1886, containing an
article by Thomas B. Reed, now Speak
err OF the House of Representatives, on
parliamentary discussion. 1t shows how
radically the Speaker has changed his
mind during the past four years. Here
are few extracts from Mr.. Reeds arti-
Gle that speak for themselves:
The aim of some statesmen has been not to- do
things good but topreyent the doing OF things
evil. 1t can not be denied that this aim Is quite
often righteous one But the prevention OF
evil legislation should never be by refusing
propositions hearing, but by hearing and re-.
futtns. This brings ME 70 remark that some
legislation consists not more in what ts done
than In what Ia refused 70 bs done, Wtosves

thinks that the junction OF aleglslatlve body Ia
o free country is fully performed by the mere
passage Of bills good or bad, has little compre-
hension of the scope and real usefulness Of such
a body. The reformation OF the
rules will remove great many obstacles to leg.
islation A great many remain to intelligent
legislation, using the word in the broad sense
in which it has been employed in this
article. Among these obstacles is the
tendency which now exists to deny dis.
cussion in many cases, and the ten.
dency to employ an unsuitable form of discus.
sion in others. A full, Free frank discussion is
the very life Of intelligent action. Nobody
knows every thing; most people know some.
thing. Men are circumscribed in their knowl.
edge by their various experiences II au
those who know something Of the subject rs.
semble their knowledge a sensible Judgment
can be formed by those who listen: But there
has been in this country for the past half cent
ury so many subjects Of bitter feeling, involv'
ing bitter words, that the tendency to suppress
discussion in Congress by those who have the
power has reached point where there ought
to be q reaction in favor Of freer debate. In
no other countries in the world is such power
Of shutting off debates lodged in the majority.
The previous question has been employed
without mercy. It is in the memory Of all
that until the last few years the House Of Conn
mons never had such a thing as the previous
| question: in our sense Of the term There was
no power in the House to close debate. The
Irish members, simply by talking, were able
to prevent the passage Of bills which had the
approval OF vast majority of the House. Even
since the strong provocation has caused the
introduction of the cloture, debate can not be
closed except by the presiding officer, under
such circumstances and under such require.
| ments Of support from the House as in that
body secures right of debate, which is much
greater than in our House of Representatives.
The hesitancy with which SO slight a measure
of suppression was adopted in England strikes
| with shade of surprise an American legis-
| lator accustomed in Congress to see discussion
| drowned with as little remorse as il it were a
sightless kitten. But the English are right.

discussion is tyranny, whether done by King

Chancellor Caprivi's Democratic Ways.

Won Caprivis everyday life, says that
the bell is rung at the Chancelor's door
as at any other mortal's, and it is pos.
sible, without being prevented by the
detectives who formerly were posted in
front of Palais Radziwell, to penetrate
as far as the threshold of his study

ing. He rises early and works much
in the morning hours. AS early as ten
o'clock he receives his colleagues,
After very simple dinner, at which
the new Chancellor seldom has company,
he rides for few hours. On returning
he receives official visitors, except on
the days when he goes to Potsdam tt
the Emperor. Then comes the reports
of the ministers. The remainder of his
evenings, when he now and then re
ceives some military visitors, and
when, as in Prince Bismarck's time, the
long pipe is invoked, he spends in his
study. The Chancellor uses only halt
of the rooms of the palace, the whole
right wing standing empty. The beau
