SOUTH DAKOTA.
The Blizzard May Beat a United States
Senator.

PIERRE, S. d., Feb. 1O.-lSpecial.l- !
Last night was an anxious one here
among the members of the Legislature
present and the anxiety is but little re-
lieved this morning. There were a large
number of members of the Legislature
away over Sunday. A blizzard prevented
their return yesterday. A vote on Senator
will be taken at noon to-day. A special
train with the absent members on board
is showed in somewhere between here
and Huron, but the wires are all down
and its whereabouts is unknown. 1t is
hoped they get in by noon, otherwise the
result of the vote may be most unsatisfac-
tory to the Republicans.

are farther apart it would have to be

versed In using it we let the weeds get
large enough to pull nicely from in the
row, cultivate with a common horse or
hand cultivator, following with the tool
described and if the rows are not too
long it will clean them perfectly. If it
should be necessary to unload before
getting to the end of the row lift the tool
without stopping the horse; this leaves
it in a bunch, whel it can be carried
from the field if desired, though it will
nearly all die in the pile. For the teeth
use round iron one-half or fiye-eighths

A wo-d About Incubators.

II an incubator is to be used, and es-
pecially if very early broilers are to be
raised, says The Republic, arrangements
ought to be made as soon as posi-
BILE so as TO secure both the incubator
and brooder and have on hand ready fol-
use. While an incubator has one ad
vantage in being always ready for ser
vice, yet it requires more care than hens
and unless you are willing TO put in
some time every day in attending to il
the better plan is 10 stick to hens.

POULTRY POINTS.

Az objection made by many women to
the poultry business is their dislike to
selling their gentle pets alive. Whether
the market be local or distant, more or
less suffering is imposed on fowls, from
fright, bruises, hunger, thirst, confne-
ment in crowded quarters, and often
filthy surroundings. Certainly these are
not the most healthful or appetizing con
ditions to precede the dainty broil or
roast; does not "lnan's inhumanity to
man" deserve attention on this pont2
Again the demand for the laborious dry
picking is encouragement in the busy
farm home to sending out dressed poul-
try. The least labor that will produce
best result is Of prime Importance. Scald-
ing to remove the feathers is much more
easily and quickly done than dry picking.
1t is cleaner-for all fowls are more or
less infested with parasites. If carefully
done there need be little or no discolora-
tion of skin. Neither flavor nor keeping
qualities seem to be affected by the scald-
ing. The principal claim made for dry
picking is that the birds look better, and
as COOL looks are not to be desBised, let
bright women put their minds to the
matter and learn how to make their
scalded birds look as well as dry picked,
and thereby confer benefit on producer,
consumer and consumed .-Nclo York

Curious Facts About the Sea.

The oceans and seas are the great
reservoirs into which run all the rivers
of the world. 1t is the cistern which
finally catches all the ram that falls not
only upon its own surface, but upon the
surface Of the land as well. All of this
water is removed again by evaporation
as fast as it is supplied, it being esti-
mated that every year a layer of the en-.
tire water surface of the globe over four
teen feet thick is taken up into the cou Is
to fall again as rain. This varor is
fresh, of course, and if all the water of
the oceans could be removed in the same
way and none of it returned, it is calcu-
lated that there would be layer of pure
salt $50 feet thick left in the bottoms of
these great reservoirs. This is upon the
suppostion that each three feet of ocean
water contains one inch of salt, and that
the average depths of all oceans is three
miles.
At depth of $500 feet the tempera.
ture is uniform, varying but trihe be-
tween the poles and the equator In
many of the deep bays on the coast of
Norway AMI other Arctic countries the
water often begins to freeze at the bot
tom before it does at the surface. At
the same depth, $500 feet, waves are
not felt. Waves do not travel-that is,
the water does not move forward. al
though it seems to do SO; it remains sta.
tionary. 1t is the rising aud falling that
moves on.
The pressure of the water increases
rapidly with the depth AT distance
of one mile the pressure is reckonel as
about one ton TO the square inch, or
more than 1873 times the pressure of the
atmosphere.
10 get correct souadiugs in deep wa
ter is difficult. The best invention for
that purpose is shot weighing about
thirty pounds. which carries down
line. Through this shot or 'ssinker" A
hole is drilled, and through the hole is
passed rod of iron which moves easily
back and fourth. At the end of the bar
cupls dug out, the inside being coated
with lard The bar is made fast to the
line, sling holding the shot in position.
When the bar, which extends below the
shot, touches the bottom, the sling TN
hooks aud the shot slides downward and
drives the lard coated cup into the sand
at the bottom. In that way the cbarac-
ter OF the oceans floor is determined.
1t the surface Of the Atlantic was
lowered 656i feet it would be reduced
to exactly half its present width. If

THE Hay uNRNESr


The importance of the hay crop to the
whole country at large and the indiyid-
ual farmer as well can scarcely be over.
estimated, For hay Of the best quality
10 all respects, that made from timothy
glass stands highest in the public esti-
nation. Consequently this is the 9arie-
ty to cultivate when the highest price
that can be obtained from critical buyers
is the object aimed at. Other varieties
often do better on certain soils, and clo-
yer makes excellent hay when success
fully cured. Besides, clover has value
other than for hay, as renovator of ex-
hausted soils, that does not belong in an
equal degree to timothy Or other grasses
that may be preferred for the rack and
manager.
To get the most value from a timothy
meadow the ground should be well pre-
parcel before sowing the seed. In these
days of improved farm implements it
goes without saying that mellow should
be smooth and free from sticks, stones
and other obstacles of every kind that
would interfere with the running aud
operation of a machine. The seed sown
should be free from those OF weeds or of
other varieties, unless a mixture of
grasses is intended, as is sometimes the
case. For most purposes the value of
timothy hay is increased by deferring
the cutting until the seed is ripe enough
to grow.
Curing without exposure to rain is
important with all varieties if the hay is
to be of the best To secure this con
dition beyond any peradventure every
farmer should have a sufficient number
OF hay caps ready for an emergency.
Caps made from heavy uuoiIed muslin,
if smoothly drawn down over we'll
formed haycocks, will be sufficiently
protecting, and such are cheap and
easily handled.-Ne,o York World.

s.theted surgeons.

Some interesting observations relating
to the surgical treatment of wounds by
binds were recently brought by NJ.
Fatio before the Physical Society of
Geneva. He quotes the case Of the
snipe. which he has Of en- observed en-.
gagged in repairing damages. With its
beak and feathers it makes very cred-
table dressing, applying plasters to
bleeding wounds and even securing a
broken limb by means of stout liga-
ture. On one occasion he killed a
snipe which had on the chest large
dressing composed OF down taken from
other parts of the body and securely
fixed to the wound 10y the coagulated
blood Twice he had brought home
snipe with interviewer feathers strapped
on to the site of of fracture of one or
other limb. The most interesting ex-
ample was that of snipe both Of
whose legs he had unfortuna' eiy broken
by 1nisdlrected shot. He recovered
the animal only on the day following,
aud he then found that the poor bird
had contrived to apply dressings and
a sort of splint to both lambs. I'm carry
ing out this operation some feathers had
become entaBgled around the leak, and
not being able to use its claws TO get
rid of them. it WAS almost dead from
hunger when discovered. In case
recorded by NJ. Magnin, snilc which
was observed to fly away with broken
leg, was subsequently fouHd to have
forced the fragments into a parallel
position, the upper fragments reaching
to the knee, and secured them there by
means Of strong band of feathers and

were particularly struck by the appli-
cation of Iigature OF q kind

To Make The Hair Curl.

Coiffeurs have been rivaling With
each other in inventions which will
give the most natural wave and stay the
longest. One of the designers, Martel,
is now called the Koch of hair dressers
because he alone has discovered way
of waving the hair that looks so natural
and lasts so long that the society wom-

with curly hair. In vain do the mani
pulators of the brush and comb cudgel
their brains TO find out his way They
are all obliged to confess their inability
to discover it, This fortunate hair

women that they are obliged to wait
hours for their turn. The other morn

Curious Freaks Of Pazors.

The finest grades of razors are so
delicate that even the famous Damascus
sword blad cannot equal them in
texture. 1t is not generally known
that the grain of a Swedish razor is so
sensitive that its general direction is
so changed after short service. When
you buy fine razor the grain runs
from the upper end TO the outer point
in diagonal direction toward the
handle. Constant strapping will twist
the steel until the grain appears to be
straight up and down. Subsequent use
will drag the grain outward to the edge,
SO that after steady use for several
months the fibre of the steel occupies
a position exactly the reverse Of that
which it did on the day of purchase
The process also affects the temper of
the blade, and when the grain sets
from the lower outer point toward the
back, you have a razor which cannot
be kept in condition, even by the
most conscientious barber But here
another curioiis freak that will take
place in the same tool: Leave tile
razor alone for a month OF two, and
when you take it up you will find that
the grain has assumed its first position.
The operation can be repeated until the
steel is worn through to the back.

The farmer prepares his seed bed BY
furnishing fertilizers, by making the
ground mellow and bringing the plant
food within reach of the roots of the
growing grain. So-called hoed crops
need to have the ground made friable
and pulverized after every rain and ''be-
tween times, because frequently showers
are "hke angels visits-few and far be-
tween" as proved by last years expert
ence in many parts of Missouri and else
where.
But there never was a season so wet or
so dry that the weeds did not grow
apace. Indeed, they will cover all the
ground unless destroyed by the frequent
cultivation and hoeing.
Just here is where blessing comes in.
The destruction of the weeds cultivates
the growing maize, the cabbages, the
root crops, ETC., aud but for the weeds
many lazy farmer would use neither
hoe, cultivator nor pillow and thus suffer
the soil to bake and thus cut short his
crops often to more than fifty per cent.
"Ah, hal says the farmer; ''Oh. ho."
says the corn. An observant and sue
cessful farmer once made the remark
that "there was as much manure at the
tail end of pillow as in the barnyaui.
That is pretty strong statement and a
very large grain of truth. Every plant
or weed-dehned as plant out of place
with its leaves, blades and roots be-
comes fertilizer or green manure.
Wise farmers pillow under clover, rye
or buckwheat for improving the con.
dition or fertility of the soil, and the
roots of clover form no inconsiderable
portion of the plantas fertilizer. Glover
Is embraced in every rotation or system
OF farm crops, and is worthy of the place.
Some weeds are so tenacious of life
and will grow from ever SO small
portion of root or ever so minute seed
that Legislatures have enacted laws for
their destruction and imposed fines for
the careless and neglected. farmer. And
this is wise. The work in this direction
ought to be more thoroughly done than
than it is; aud, the laws, after having
been enacted, ought to be enforced
without fear or favor ST. Louis Republic. /

The natives of the New Hebrides, who
are still addicted to the practice of an
thropophagy, afford one of the most
curious subjects of contemporaneous
study to be made upon primitive and
savage populations. Nothing is more
curious than their musical instruments.
They consist Of hollow tree trunks
containing apertures connected by Il
vertical slit. These trunks are orna-
mented at the upper part with scup-
lures representing heads, feet, war clubs
and ships. BY striking each of them
with stick, the natives produce some
what cadenced sounds resembling those
of the tomtom, They perform their
dances to the sound of these instru-
ments, after having daubed their faces
red and black.
They have also three other musical
instruments; a sort of trumpet made Of
a shell perforated at the side or extrem-
ity; syrinx with six, seven or eight
pipes, from which they sometimes OBJ
tain harmonious sounds; and long
flute perforated at the lower extremity
and consisting of single piece of BAN
boo with three holes and mouthpiece
These instruments are used only within
doors in order to amuse children.
