Some Trains Running.

New YORK, Aug. 1O.-The strikers
have not succeeded in suspending all
traffic on the Central railroad, and it is
evident that a general feeling of disap-
pointment prevails among the strikers,
though they will not admit this. They
placed strong reliance upon the assist
ance of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, who, according to many of
the Knights, were to have taken a hand
in the fight last night. A prominent
member of the Brotherhood said to-day
that the Locomotive Engineers were
not to be in this strike. 1t was not
their fight, but of course, he added,
should they be ordered out, they would
60. He did not think such an order
, would be given. The Brotherhood,
said several others, remembers the c.,
b. & O.. strike, in which their places
were taken by Knights of Labor, and
are netover-anxious to help the Knights
now. To-day the regular schedule pas
senger service of the Hudson River &
New York Central and the Harlem
roads was resumed, the only change be-
ing the consolidation of outgoing Wes-
tern trains.

has become so extensive that the Gov
ernment has concluded to put stop to
it. large expedition, headed by four
agents, left Duluth recently in a north
westerly direction, it's destination being
the western portion of Rainy lake. The
four officers of the law and the Interior
Department were instructed to continue
their work as far as in their own judg-
ment seemed best and no time was fixed
for their return. The expedition was
decided by the heads of the In
terror and Land departments after
an examination Of the report by a
special agent who made a trip along the
northern boundary of the State. He
reported that ON the Big and Little
Rainy rivers thousands of logs we're be-
ing run into the lake and across the
Canadian border. The special agent
estimated that in these rivers there
we're $4,000, 900 feet of logs, and perhaps
as much more we're being gotten away
with at other points along the boundary
line. An effort would be made to secure
this in the name of the Government,
and as soon as the logs had been found
by the agents and branded with the
Government stamp, which the agents
took with them, they would be held at
all hazards.

occasionally. The work nc gtts should be just enough to keep the horse vigor- ous and healthy. His lung and heart action can only be kept right by work His muscles can not be kept firm by being confined in a stall. Any number of cases testify that the stallion that gets abundant exercise, that is tough, hardy, vigorous, gets hardier and better colts than the one that lacks the proper exercise, whose muscles are flabby, who is fat and plethoric, who would tire at @ little exertion.
 It is all nonsense to believe that stall ions should be pampered. Put them to work Drive them before your buggies or carriages Make them useful, even if you have to use them before the farm wagon, of course with careful drivers. All during the winter it would be bet ter to work them in some useful way, than to lot them stand idle in their stalls.
 Stallions should be fed well and groomed well. Good oats and hay is good to mix with the oats, and three or four cars of corn each day is desir- able.
 The treatment of stallions is general ly harsh and cruel which is entirely wrong It almost invariably makes them vicious. Many handlers of stall lions think they must never go about them without big whip in hand which should be applied every few minutes. We know a breeding farm where eight or ten stall lions are kept all the year, and asy stallion can be led out to mare with a halter, and whip is never allowed to be used in or about the stable. The stallions are treated as kindly as mares, and respond to it as kindly, and there is not horse about the stable that will bite or kick or be the least vicious.
 With harsh, brutal treatment half, if not all of them, would be vicious. It is natural for horses to fight back, to re- sent cruelty, to protect themselves from harm. Most vicious horses are made SC by cruel men. A man who can not un. der all circumstances control his tem. per has no business about horses, and the sooner owners get rid of such men the better it will be for them. Rural World

SPRING -SOWN OATS.
No Seed Safo Without a suitable Cover
 ing of Soil.


 Science is valuable to the practical man because it teaches him the princi. pies of things, explains causes and effects and shows him how to produce desired results In regard to the SOW. ing of seed, for instance, the best man ncr of doing this is learned by knowing how plants grow and feed, and the rela. tion of their parts to each other; the functions of thc roots, and their man. ncr of gathering food from the soil and supporting tho plant in it. And when this is known. we find that the proper place for the seed i, in the soil, and not on the surface of it, So that when any person. although he may he able to write very readable article upon tho subject of sowing oats upon the frozen ground and leaving the seed to take care of itself. advise farmers tc follow this practice, reader who knows how roots grow and gather the food for tho plant, will not he miSled into the following very bad advice, to SOW any seed whatever without giving it suih- cicnt aud safe covering of soil.
 1t is acommon assumption-it can not be said a belief or opinion-t that oats do not need covering and will grow any how if only sown on the ground. They will grow to some extent. and the seed will gcrminatc if the weathT is moist and keeps sO, but if a frost or dry wind should happnn, the tender rootlets are killed at once and the seed perishes. This also occurs whrn the seed has not covciWg enough to keep it moist, and protect the young spire and roots from frost. and although the seed, that is sown in frozen ground, may fall into the cracks, or if s0Wn upon mud may sink in it, thc covering thus secured is not sufficient and will not protect the seed.
 Oats are one of the best useful crops, and deserve, tho best treatment 1t should be sown early, on land prepared in tho best manner and well manured. The seed should be thoroughly har- rowed in and well covered; three inches is the best depth to secure abundant root, firmly so. ,n the soil, and protec- ton from late frO,ts. And with this treatment yield Of fifty Co seventy-hvc bushels per acre may be reasonably looked for and exemption from rust and smut, which mostly attack the weak plants But these may be entirely es. capcd if tho seed is tccpcd in solu- ton of four ounces of sUiphate of copper to the gallon of water, as is usual with wheat.

WHY THEY FAIL.
Reasons for Son-Succcss In the Business
 of Poultry Raising.

y
 Men fail in the poultry business for many reasons, and reasons that would make them fail in any other business. Let us enumerate q few;
 l. They think. after a years expert ence, they know all. The writer has been, as it were, raised with fowls, yet every year he learns more, and is sur prised to know what little knowledge he has on the subject. Yet these mo- vices have learned all in three hundred and sixty-ive days. We have in our mind a man who in a year became so proficient @ that he is actually offer ing advice to breeders. Talk to him on ventilation, moisture, sci ence, etc, in poultry matters why, he knows all about them. He thinks he does. We think he doesn't for the man whose fowls he has in charge is disGustcd. He doesn't seem to know when fowl is ovcr-fat, nor whom it has cold, nor how to prevent sickness. He doesn't seem to know any thing practical; but as a man to do chores, he is a success. Could you OK pect such men to succeed? Would they succeed in any business?
 9. They think that from a thousand dollar investment thousand-dOllar in come should come. Is there a business in the whole world that will do it? Is not ten per cent. q good dividend in any business? The poultry business gives as high as fifty per cont An clcc- tric railway was started in a city in which we are acquainted, and the first year, after paying expenses, it declared a dividend of eight per cent. The stockholders got wild. It was a grand investment, Fifty thousand dol . lars were invested. In a neigh hboring town a poultry farm was established, one thousand dollars invested, and at the end of the first year all expenses were paid, and a profit of ten per cent was given. Yet the poultry farm was declared a fzzle. and the railway a grand success. Men start in the manu- featuring business and don't expect to make cent for the first two or threc years, but few hundred hens are called on to heap up fortune. How consistent some people are,
 3. They think that experience docsn't cost any thing that all a man needs i- a start, and experience comes and goes on it's own account. We know the case of a man who left a paying job to go into tho bu5i- ness on a small amount both of capital and experience. He is all out. If he is at it next year he will do better than this, for the experience he got this time has cost him money that he will save next year. He had gradually secured that experience before he left the job he might have done better. Air castles have no foundations.
 We could go further, but these three reasons tell the most of it. When men learn that it requires money, experience and timo to build up hen farm success fully, on the same principal that it would any other business, then we shall have more well-paid poultcrers, but not be- re.-Iowa Ilomcstead.
