The COW usually stands and chews her
cud until she gets tired, and then she
lies down and chews her cud. All cows
chew the cud, some more, some less, ac-

Jersey Bulletin, seems to chew harder
and faster, Rs if trying to squeeze the
last morsel Of nutriment out of the little
she has.
A POINT worthy of consideration is
presented by the Springfield RepWb-

to devote money to making road good,
or expend it on perishable horses that

If 4 H
In answer to the questions of sub
scriber to an English paper. What
should do to clean my horses legs of
mud when they come in from work on
clayey land? Should they be washed,
or would that be dangerous for cold?
Is it good plan to clip the hair off the
legs Of farm horses?' The answers are
given: The danger is not SO much in
risk Of cold as in causing an inhamed
condition of tile skin Of the legs, Civ
ing rise to cracked heels, and tendency
to grease. 1t is not q good plan to clip
the hair off the legs of farm horses for
the same reason. The hair acts as a
protection against actual contact be-
tween dirt and irritating material and
the skin; for although the long hair may
become muddy the wet alone penetrates
the skin, while although wet this hair
serves to keep the extremities warm.
Washing is rarely more than half done,
the dirt is washed in instead of off, or
the driver is content to throw q bucket
or two of water over the legs or to drive
horse into pond. This, however, is
by no means the worst feature of wash
ing; it is leaving the feet wet that causes
the mischief, for it is often that o man
has neither time nor inclination to rub
the heels dry when they are fully feath-
cred. Left wringing wet, chaps and
cracks result, or the skin secretion be-
comes perverted and grease occurs.
But if we may neither clip the legs nor
wash them how are the legs to be-
cleaned? When the horse comes in wet
and muddy, scrape Oft the thickest Of
the dirt, then put on an old set of band
ages and let the remainder dry. Even
If it remains until the next morning no
harm is doneless certainly than il the
leSs are half washed and left wet. Gem
orally the legs are quite dry while the
driver is engaged in other work, and

II any grain or plant is grown in local

Changing seed in such cases is advised
Where the summers are hot, says the
SoatherR CWltivator, dry seed oats from
a northerly climate will for two or three
years produce a crop that will be full
weight. After this it will need changing
again. Some farmers avoid the neces-
sity of changing seed oats and seed bar
ley by selecting the heaviest grain Of
their own growing. In almost any crop,
however poor, are some seeds that have
escaped injury, and these produce a
plump, heavy grain.

The Dust in Hay.

No farmer needs to be told that there
is more or less dust in all hay, and this
If breathed is injurious to horses fed on
it. Clover hay and that of timothy cut
in the bloom are especially liable to
be dusty, and often give horses the
heaves when fed on either of these.
Slightly wetting the hay will prevent
this injury. The better way is to cut
the hay, slightly moisten it aud throw
on it little corn and oats ground to-
gether, taking care not to give more
than will be eaten clean at each feed
Between meals the racks may be filed
with fresh straw, which the horses will
pick over, and which uay then be used
for bedding.

safely be applied at the rate of two or
three barrels per acre; some apply only
200 or 300 pounds withproft. Soft-coal
ashes contain little plant food, in
shape of phosphate or potash; hard coal
ashes contain none; on sandy land it is
difficult to see what good even the
former will be, unless supplied very
literally, and on some such crop as
clover or lupine, which appears to be
able to draw heavily on the air for some

The common practice in the interior,
and indeed one very general elsewhere,
has been to cut corn and shock it in its
grain dries out and hardens and the
stalks retain most of their leaves, SO
that after the corn has been husked q
crop of grain and crop of fodder is
realized from the same planting. From
experiences made by Prof. Shelton, at
the Kansas Agricultural Station, it was
found that in nearly every case where
adjacent rows of corn were cut at inter-
walls OF seven to twelve days, the largest
yield of the best quality of corn was
found in the rows cut latest. 1t was
plainly taught in the seventy odd cases
tried that corn continues to improve in
weight until the very last-after the
blades of the plant have been dried up
and quite likely blown away, and SEEM
ingly until the juices of the stalks have
been completely sucked up.
The figures shown in the careful cut
tings and weighings of corn at different
seems to point to real principle in the
growth of the crop which the farmer
cannot afford to ignore. It is perfectly
clear that we must raise corn for corn,
with no thought of fodder; and again,
corn which has no higher purpose than
fodder. We must, in short, have two
corn-felds on every farm, receiving radi-
cally different treatment to correspond
with the different purposes for which
they are cultivated.
In considering the above, says the
World, it must be remembered that
corn fodder in Kansas has smaller pro-
portion of leaves and blades than is
found on the varieties grown in the New
England and Middle States where pick
ing the ears from the standing stalks
and leaving the latter unharvested,
would be thought q wasteful process.

desert their organization for the new

scheme, which was first proposed about
three months ago, was made q reality
at the recent session of the representa-
tives of the Association and Brother
hood held in Philadelphia a short time
ago. Sunday games, twenty-five cent
ball and beer on the grounds will be
the order of things in the new organi-
cation.
The organization will comprise
twelve clubs-New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, Pittsburg, Baltimore and
Louisville, Cleveland, Columbus, Gin
cinnati and Chicago in the West.
Three disinterested and competent
judges of ball players will be selected
and the players will be assigned to the
different cities, the object being to
equalize the strength as nearly as pos
sible.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-The differ
snces between the Tariff bill conferees
on the part of the House and the Senate
have been narrowed down to the sugar
schedule and binding Irvine. just
before the second conference was held,
one of the conferees expressed the
opinion that a compromise would have
to be reached between the Senate and
the House propositions on both of the
disputed points. A number of pro-
posed compromises on sugar were dis
cussed, but none of them were agree
able to all of those present.
A new complication arose later. The
Senators from the Western and North
western States, to the number of ten,
met and agreed to protest against the
proposition to put q duty on binding
Irvine for the purpose of effeoting q
compromise with the House on sugar.
The statements of the Senators present
at this conference as to the effect of il
are slightly conflicting. Some of them
say that 1t was agreed that if the con-
fsrees reported in favor of putting .
duty on binding Irvine, the Senators
interested would vote against the con-
ference report and refuse to allow the
Tariff bill to go through the Senate
while the Questionable feature re-
NAMED in it. Others say that the ten
Senators merely entered an emphatic
protest against the proposition.
The conference report will not be
presented to the House to-day. twill
probably take at least twenty four
hours to prepare it for submission to
the House after it has been agreed to.
The general impression now is that
Congress cannot adjourn before the
latter part of next week, and that 1t
will probably not get away before

Canadian Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-Members of
the Tariff Conference Committee, after
their morning session, afforded an in
terview to Erastus Wiman, in relation
to Canadian reciprocity. A conclusion
was reached that nothing should be
attempted this session, but that in the
event of the dissolut of the Cana
dian Parliament the Sherman Hit
resolutions should have earliest oen-
sideration at the reassembling of
Congress in December. This Mr..
Wiman said would be satisfactory to
