Professor Kedzie, of the Michigan
Agricultural college, says; The most
economical general manure for the farm
is yard and stable manure. 1t is u com
plete manure, containing all the ele-
ments necessary for plant growth and in
available form. Special and commercial
fertilizers may be used to supplement
the barnyard manure or for special
crops and conditions, but they must
hold a secondary position. do not de-
cry commercial fertilizers, for they are
OF great value when properly used, but
am very firm in my belief that for a
general purpose manure they cannot
economically replace barnyard manure.
Used judiciously to reinforce barnyard
manure they may well be used on GER
tain crops and on certain kinds of soils.
hut used unfortunately in general
farming the result has generally been
unsatisfactory 1t is for special farm
ing and for tue fruit grower and market
gardener that the commercial fertilizers
promise the best results at present.

Professor Gleason thus explains the
manner OF stopping a runaway horse by
using nothing but a straight bar bit and
lines; For instance, your horse attempts
to run away. Let him go for distance
Of fifty yards; then haul in your lines
perfectly tight When you get ready TO
give the command TO stop say whoa
at the same time you pull the right hand
rein giving powerful jerk and repeat
the word whoa. Don't move the left
hand, but do all the work with the
night. When You give the terrible jAr,
twist the horses jaw to the right, and if
you have the presence Of mind to repeat
the word whoa at the second jerk of the
lines you will be surprised to find your
horse standing still

Buy When Others Want to Sell.

Last fall at one of the fairs we con-
graduated a sheep breeder on his show
yard successes, and expressed the hope
that he had goodly flock just at that
time when sheep were high. Indeed [
have" said he. when wool was fifteen
cents pound, and no one would hear a
word about sheep, / told my wife then
was the time to buy sheep, l have them,
and a good many Of them. | have Just
sold forty rams to one man" This man
had faith enough TO believe that the
world had not yet got beyond needing
wool and mutton. Observation had
taught him that men, like sheep, go in
crowds. He found it more profitable to
use his own Judgment, invest his money
ard bide his time.-Breeders' Gazstte.

WHAT SOUTH DAKOTA WANTS.
Sound Sense ON Mixed Farming and
Stock Raising.


Henry T. Blackwell, of Boston, lect-
urel in South Dakota this fall and
wrote his views Of the country to his
own paper, The Woman's Journal. He
said the three things most needed by the
young state were water, wool and wom-
an suffrage He writes:
As a resident of Massachusetts,, raised
in Ohio and familiar with the west as
man and boy for fifty years. / desire to
say few plain words through these col

climate and the people They are not

con ..iol@ OF the country are peculiar
ana need different methods. In the
southeastern counties and in those Dor
deTin& Oh Minnesota farmers are pros
J riug. But wet and north of Huron
have found general Oppression and dis
trcss. For want of rain IN many locali-
ties there has not been good grain crop
since 1885 end for two years wheat
corn and fax have failed. as consc-
quence hurdIeds of the American popu-
latior have returned cast, and hundreds
more are going this fall, carrying with
them wherever they go a tale of di5cour-
Rgement.
IN some of the dry" counties | have
driven twenty miles without passing a
single Inhabited house. with deserted
claim shanties and old brealiings over
grown with weeds everywhere in sight
Yet all this disappointment and loss
might have been avoided if the climate
had been understood. If each settler
had brought twenty-five sheep, two
brood mares and five hcifcrs, and if ev-
cry four settlers had united in buying a
moving machine and horse rake all
would have prospered There is not d
county in the state where enough grass
will not go to waste this fall to support
twice the present population if only it
could be utilized.
But the craze for breaking land and
sowing grain has crippled hundreds Of
farmers. and the purchase of costly ma
chinerv for thrashing, on credit, has
sealed their fate It ia time for the press
Of South Dakota TO call II halt Even in
Iowa and Illinois. farmers who rely on
selling grain seldom grow rich, while
those who feed sheep, horses, cattle and
hogs always prosper. There is no better
country in the world than South Dakota,
even without irrigation, for sheep and
horses. Hay can be cut and stacked for
seventy-five cents a ton, which is worth
from $50 70 %2J q ton in Massachusetts.
And this means that twenty animals can
be raised in South Dakota at the cost Of
raising one in the east.

me that one-third the area east of the
Missouri river and extending indefinitely

wells. These viii cost time and money,
but both viii soon be supplied if the
present needless disbursement can be
checked, and if immigration and capital
at low interest can be had.

HOLLAND in MOURNING.

Tho Kings Death Regarded as the End
%@'] of the House, of Orange IT,. .~
LONDON, Nov. 25.-Amsterdam advices
state that the whole city is scene of
mourning for the death of the late King.
Such display of loyalty has not been
witnessed in Europe for many years.
The people seem to be mourning the
dynasty rather than the individual, as
they regard the Kings death as the end
of the House of Orange, to which Hol-
land has for centuries been deeply at
tached.
Queen Emma is at the castle of Loo
with her daughter Wilhelmine and the
remains of her husband. Her own health
is in a frail condition, owing to the
assiduity with which she has nursed the
King. Wilhelmine, who becomes Queen
under her mothers regency, is a delicate
child, but not sick at present.
Throughout Holland the evidence of
mourning is as striking as in the capital
city. Queen Victoria has sent dispatch
of coincidence to Queen Emma, and a
similar message has been received from
Queen Christina, of Spain.

! LONDON, Nov. 25.-The Ministerial
Legislative programme, as set forth in the
Queens speech to-day, comprise four
main items: The Irish Land Purchase
/ bill, the 1.-THE bill, Scottish private bills
and the Commission bill.
E After the customary reference to the
friendly relations. of England with
foreign nations, the Queen alludes to the
negotiations with Portugal in regard to
the latter's claims in Africa, and with
Italy in regard to East Africa, as not yet
brought to a successful conclusion.
She hopes that the negotiations which
are progressing with France concerning
the Newfoundland fisheries will soon
lead to a satisfactory settlement. The
papers connected with this matter will
soon be laid before Parliament.
Her Majesty regrets to announce that
a potato famine is threatened in the
West of Ireland, and trusts that meas
ures will be taken to mitigate distress.
Bills will be introduced in regard to
Irish land purchase, tithes, assisted edu-
cation in Scotland, extension of local
government in England, and, if the work
of the session permits, local government
in Ireland. ''-t5' - b.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The usual scenes
were witnessed to-day when Parliament
opened. There was an immense crowd
in the House of Commons, and Of course
all were anxious to see if Mr.. Parnen
would take his place with the Irish
members. -...
The Nationalists, however, came IN
without their leader, and the report
spread quickly that at a meeting of the
Home Rulers in the morning, Mr.. Parnell
announced his retirement from the
leadership of the Irish party. hereport,
however, is not confirmed at this hour,
but 1t is generally believed.
Mr.. Gladstone was enthusiastically
cheered by the Liberals and was kept
busy bowling to the congratulations of
his friends on his fine appearance
Mr.. Balfour received warm applause
from the Conservatives. Little comment
was made on the address from the
throne.
There is some danger of disorderly
scenes in the House of Commons if any
reference is made to Mr.. Parnell's posi-
ton. The Irish members are very much
excited and say they will keelly resent
any reference to their leader, and if any
illusions are made they will be taken
advantage of as occasion for retaliatory
charges against others.

POSTAL TELEGRAPHS

augurate Reforms.
AN IMPORTANT ANNUAL REPORT
He viii Treat the Subject of Postal
Banks at Length.

Mrs. Harrison Entertains Correspondents
in the Blue ROOm-Few COngreSSmen
Arrive-senatOr Pugh's Chances for Re-
slection-A Report that MT. Cleveland
Has Changed His Coinage Views.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-It is an inter-
esting report which Postmaster General
Wanamaker will soon lay before the
country touching the Post Office Depart
ment and its several ramifcations. The
more important of Mr.. Wanamaker's
recommendations are those which deal
with the subjects of postal telegraph,
postal savings banks, one cent postage,
and what, for want of a better term, is
known as fsea Offices" on shipboard.
Mr.. Wanamaher's position regarding a
postal telegraph is well known. It is q
deep rooted conviction with him that
such a system would be Of much greater
benefit to the American people than to
leave the control of the telegraph service
in the hands of a practical monopoly.
Many sided as this question is the Post
master General has, he says, studied it
from every point of view. His report
will show that he has fully considered
the arguments that have been made
against it and that he believes he has
successfully overthrown them all.
Upon the subject of postal savings
banks the Postmaster-General will also
treat at length. His report will show
the adoption Of such auxiliaries to be
useful in several ways. Their establish
ment in small outlying communities
where savings banks do not exist will be
in the first place an encouragement to
thrift and economy. Many millions of
dollars will thus be saved annually that
are now, in the absence of proper protec-
ton, needlessly wasted. In the next
place, vast sums of money in the aggre-
gate that are boarded from year to year
in cupboards, stockings and other impro-
vised storehouses, will be drawn from
their hiding places and added to the cir
culating medium of the country cir
cumstance not to be lightly regarded
when the scarcity of money per capita is
taken into consideration.

bitterly. "He told me he was innocent,

TESTING THE CURE.

A Doctor Practioing ON a Man Who Had
Given Up All Hope OF Life.
KANSAS CHY, No., Nov. 25.-Dr. Fritz
Baum, Of this city, received from Berlin
some of DR.. Koch's alleged life-giving
virus, and yesterday inocculated S. A.
Austin, of Kansas City, Kan, man in
an advanced stage of consumption who
had given up all hope of life. The case
is being watched with a great deal of in
terest by the medical fraternity here.
Dr.. Baum made the first injection of
the lymph under the shoulder blade of
Austin. The amount was half drachm.
The effects were almost Immediate. The
circulation was better, and in a few
minutes the cough decreased and the
expectoration Of the patient was much
easier. Later in the day he found Mr..
Austin much improved in health and
administered another half drachm. The
same good effects were noticed, and cir
culation was increased and breathing
became easier and the cough continued
diminishing. DIR. Baum had not seen
the patient to-day, but he has been re-
ported as improving. Another injection
will be administered this evening.
