IGNORANCE of law excuses no man
for wrong doing or for trivial offenses
which may be committed thoughtlessly,
and yet but comparatively few have
opportunity of knowing the nature of
the laws passed by the succeeding gen
eral assemblies. A great many people
are in favor of publishing the laws as
passed in county papers, thus giving
every man chance to read and know
just what the laws to which he is ex-
pected to conform his conduct are. 1t
is objected to by some because of the
expense it would incur, but really that
is comparatively small matter. 1t
costs great deal, to be sure, to make
laws, but having made them the ad-
ditional cost of circulating them should
not prove barrier to general intelli-
gence. AT least comprehensive syn
opsis of the laws of each general assem-
bly, should be published in one or more
papers in each county, and if the ex-
pense is considerable factor retrench-
ment inaugurated in other departments
can make good the difference.

ALLISON stood for and favored the
Hennepin canal; favored the inter state
commerce bill: favored and supported
in his speeches last year the Iowa rail
way law; favored its continuance with
out the slightest changes. That he has
not taken particular part in all local
Iowa controversies is to his credit. II
leaves him to stand for the entire party
and not for faction. ingalls, does the
same i'll Kansas That Allison is strong
in the nation ought not to injure him in
Iowa. That Larrabee is strong in Iowa
ought not to injure him in the nation
We regret that the governor has said
anything to give comfort to democracy
If he Uarrabee) were the republican
nominee for senator the democrats
would be abusing him just as they are
abusing Allison. They are always
against the particular republican who
is at the front, and in favor of some
other republican.-Ahanttc Telegraph

Making Straw Into Manure.

1t is always best to use enough straw
or other absorbent 10 prevent waste Of
sither the solid or liquid droppings of
stock. And it is very doubtful whether
1t ever pay, to use more than this. A
huge straw stack worked into the
manure pile makes big but deluslvs
show. 1t is, in fact so big pile that
IN Spring it cannot all be drawn on the
fields in time for blowing, and is there's
fore left to rot down in the barn yard
BY this the bulk is reduced, but
generally also with more loss of plant
food than the straw itself furnishes
Thus by trying to use all his straw the
farmer is obliged to wait year before
he can get the manure on his land, and
then apply less in value than II he had
used tho straw otherwise OF sold it for
what it would bring, Its market value.
where there Is q market. Is greater
than its manurial value. even could 1t
be hauled on the land for nothing.
These facts explain one of the reasons
why continued grain growing is so eE-
haustive to soil The farmer who
grows much grain seldom keeps much
stock, if he does he is apt to try to use
1t to eat up his superintendent supplies
Of straw, L Their of these plans tend TO
soil exhaustion. With no stock there
Is. of course. no manure, Feeding on
straw makes manure 80 poor that 1t
has to be diminished In bulk before II
is worth drawing away, The use Of
concentrated commercial furtilizers
has taught farmers some valuable
lessons with regard to tho relation bs.
tween bulk aud value In manure. It's
in places where grain has been sold
and the land fed with straw tor years
that these chemicals are most IN de-
mand. With this hint before them
ought not farmers TO make their barn
ward manure somewhat moro concentra-
ted than they have of late years been In
the habit Of doing'- Western Culsfcatoy.

weighed 2O45 pounds. or on an average
Of l45 pounds per head. aud fed them
for twenty-s;x days. each two ten-quart
pals, or forty pounds Of sour skim
milk and buttermilk mixed per day.
When sold on the Esd Of June they
weighed PTS pounds. showing a gain
Of a trife over fifty-two pounds per
head. or two pounds per day per hog.
They were fed nothing else than the
skim milk except one ear Of corn apiece

A Supreme Court decision was re.
Gently made which is of interest to
business men in general. 1t declares
that bank checks are not cash and do
not possess legal value as money un.
Ill cashed. In other words, the Civ.
ing of q check on abank is not Il bay
ment, when passed between deUtor
and crditor, hut only becomes 20
when the money is paid IN it. The
court holds that in accepting a check
from debtor there is no legal pre-.
sumption that the ere dit0r takes il in
absolute payment. but only condi.
tionally. or AS written ackn0wledy- =
ment of the debt. Where goods are
sold for cash on delivery, and tn-
purchaser tenders payment in Il check
or draft on his banker, such payment
is only conditional, and delivery OF
the goods, if made, is also conditional.
If the check il dishOnered on pre-
sentati0n the seller may retake the
goods for the purchase nancy, even
from the possession of ii third or in
nOcent party, unless it can he shown
that the seller has been guilty of such
negligence As would stop him from
recovering in equity. This dpci 10
is among the first rendered by higher
courts that is so far reaching, and il
supported by other higher tribunals

Near Clifford Station. on the Staten
Island IN. W Railroad. there is Il
speculiar piece of woodland, spot
where the roots of the trees will at
tach themselves to the trunks at
from four to six feet above the level
of the ground, giving to the stumps
an odd. spidery appearance. The
soil of the vicinity is very porous,
which lends weight to the opinion
that the banyan-Iike grove has been
formed by the action of frost aud

will tell you all about it," said
xfe young officer. --ssEhe United
States has in Government stables
throughout the country ut the pres
tnt time between ten and twelve
Thousand horses. That is the mum.
ber required for the cavalry, the Or
dance Department ani other branches
of the Army. They are carefully
selected animals, we'll cared for and
we'll gro0med, and the mortality
among them Is annually not more
than 5 per centum. This small per-
centage is remarkable, when it is
considered lhit In some of the far
Territories the work required from
the horse is very eXacting indeed.
"In Arizona, for example, more of
the Government horses die in pro.
portion to their number than in any
other section of the country, and it is
a curiOLs fact that many of the horses
there grow blind. and thus become
useless long before they die. That is
one of the effects Ol the alkali plains
on the animals. Beside the 5 per
centum which die, about 10 per CEN
tum of the remainder are annually
sold by the Government because of
their having become useless for the
service for which they are required.
"Fhis makes it necessary for the
authorities to purchase annually
about two thousand horses, and Con-
gress provides for this expenditure
by appropriating about 5000. 900 for
the purpose of paying for the horses
purchased. The amount is divided
among the various military depart
ments by the Secretary of War, and.
AS the Western divisions of the army
reed more horses than, we do here on
the Atlantic coast. the bulk of the
money goes out West, and most OF
the horses for the Government nre
purchased in st. Louis, st. Paul and
San Francisco.
mot every horse will do for Gov
ernment service" continued the
Lieutenant, "f0r the War Depart.
ment makes specific rules to govern
the purchase of the animal. They
I are required to he gelding, solid color
throughout, from 10 to II hands high,
between f0ur ana eight years OF age,
and must weigh for artillery horses,
between l 900 and 800 pounds, and
for cavalry horses, between 800 and
POO pounds. A Government horse
usually lasts about seven years and
at the end of that time Is sold at auc-
tiOn, if he lasts that long"
"D0 the horse dealers know that
you are purchasing animals tor the
Government ?"
"Indeed they do not" said the
Lieutenant. smiIingiy. "If they did
they would run the price up on me
