The Food Supply Is Measureless.

The fundamental mistake out of which
grew the gloomy doctrines Of the older
theorists was in measuring the possibili-
ties of production by what they knew of
soil culture. Science had not revealed
to them that, aside from proper tempera-
ture and moisture, the essential factor
in vegetable production is plant food;
that this may be given to the plant with
out the aid of the soil; that what they
understood by soil fertility is compare
lively unessential factor of agricultural
production; that, in short, the possibili-
ties of the food supply in the future are

The farmers and grain dealers OF

subjected to a course Of systematic
robbery at the hands of the state grain
inspector. Inspector Haskell seems
to be a servant of Peavey & Co.. own

has been Juggling the grades on grain

perfectly satisfactory with the farm

ANOTHER dispatch flashed across
the country from Washington Tues
day telling of the conclusion of a
reciprocity treaty with Jamaica. By
the terms of this treaty, sugar
from that island is admitted to our
ports free, in return for which
they have made concessions which
reduce the tariff on our products fully
800, 900 annually. This is only one
of a number of treaties effected with
the sugar producing colonies of Great
Britain in the West Indies. Jamaica
was the last to hold out against the
demands of the state department for
a revision of the tariff. Her accep
lance of the Blaine policy will tend
to still further increase the balance
of trade in our favor. The general
effect will be to place more money in
cirulation among our people, and to
increase the demand for farm and
other products. In this case our
gain is a loss to Great Britain, as
these colonies have heretofore done
the greater part of their trading with
the mother country. The free list
embraces large list of farm and
other products which have heretofore
been excluded, while flour duties have
been decreased fifty per cent.

TO GROOM A HORSE PROPERLY.

How to groom a horse properly, max
ms him look well and feel well, is an
unknown art even to many good farmers.
A thorough-going farmer whom we en-
ployed when l was a boy taught me
many lessons l shall never forget, and
among them how to care for a horse. On
going into the stable in the morning
give him a little hay and at once remove
all the droppings and wet litter. None
OF the latter should be spread to dry
where the odors and gases from it will
in any way reach the horse. Besides
rendering offensive all the breathing
space of the barn, it frequently damages
the animals sight. Before feeding grain
to the horse he should be led to water,
and while out Of the stall tied and
groomed. To do this well one needs to
begin at the head and comb and brush
every inch OF the animals exterior, not
follow the example of many who cali
themselves farmers, scratch the spots of
dirt and rub them with the brush, begin
ing at the tail or middle without a
thought Of system, and ending as abrupt
" and inconsistently. \ good brush and
currycomb are requisites, as we'll as a
broomcorn brush for the horses head
and tail. Taking the brush in the right
hand, carefully brush the horses head,
and then with the comb in the left hand
curry the neck and entire right side, a
little at a time, following closely and
thoroughly with the brush. Each limb
and fetlock must in turn be brushed and
rubbed, and each hoof scraped out clean.
Follow this operation on the right side
by the same work on the left with the
brush in the left hand, and let the splint
brush 90 over all the surface again to
create friction, and take out the dust.
After this follow with a cloth-a wooden
one is pr4erable-rubbing the hair up,
then smoothing it. After this treatment
a healthy horse that is properly fed will
both look and feel well, and of course
will act as he feels. He may then have
his oats and begin reading or working.
Alter finishing his oats, if he is not
needed, he should 90 without food until
the next feeding time.-American Agri-
cutUit.

The Cars Interview With a NihilIst.

Stepniak, the famous Russian Nihilist
and novelist, now III the United States,
is one Of the most interesting personal
tiles in London, where he resides, and
has done much by his writings to show
us the seamy side of life in Russia. In
his career as a Nihilist he has had many
hair-breadth escapes, and when you
look at his pale, impassive, Slavonic
face, you can see that the risk of death
has had no terrors for him On recent
occasion he was asked his opinion of the
present Car, and replied: 81 believe
Alexander III. to be au honest and good
man, but" and he paused signif-
cantly. A few years ago, as many will
remember, the banquet hall of one of the
Imperial palaces was blown up by dyna-
mite. The ornamental work in the cell
ing required some slight repairs. the
workman who came to do these brought
with him a small internal machine which
was timed to explode shortly after the
commencement of a large family dinner
party to be held there that evening.
This he intended to place in a small
richie which he made for the purpose in
the ceiling. He was standing upon the
ladder with the bomb in his hand, when
in walked the Car himself. He began
to talk, ana asked the mechanic about
his life, whether he was married, if he
had children, and conversed with him
kindly for some time. 1t was a terrible
situation for the Nihilist, who was quite
charmed by the manner Of the terrible
White Car, whom he had come to IS
sassinate. His impulse was to confess
all, but his oath Of allegiance to his cause
deferred him, and when the Car de
parted, having given him some money,
he adjusted the bomb and left the palace
That night was one Of great anxiety to
all the Nihilists in the plot, and when
the explosion was heard at the right
time it was thought that all the guests
had persisted But 1t happened that the
Duke of Edinburgh arrived at the palace
half an hour late for dinner, and the
bomb exploding before dinner had COM
menced, chance unpunctuality pre-
vented a fearful tragedy Oace-a- Week.

Despite the proclamation of President
Woodruff, of the Mormon Church, po-
lygamy is still practiced in Utah. Peo-
Die returning from ranches in the south
western part of Utah have entered more
than one Mormon household containing
two wives and sixteen children. In
that section of country, dotted thickly
with cattle and sheep ranches, there
are Mormon elders who one week since
never heard of President Woodruf7s
manifesto against polygamy. A gentle
man engaged in mining, while on a
visit to Salt Lake City within the last
month, stated that not only was polyg.
amy practiced in that region, but that
several plural marriages were consum-
ated there within the last two months,
But one need not travel that far in
search of proof.

Mohammedans Are Not Savages.

India are poor because the population is

inadequate, partly due to the existence
of caste and because the taxes are so enor-

mass of the people find it relatively about
as easy to make a living as people in

How Electricity is STORED. y

The energy which current mag at any
instant be said to possess is Immediately
transformed into heat in the circuit,
which will under certain conditions pro-
duce light: into chemical energy; into
motion, which may or may not produce
sound; or into magnetic and clcctrotonlc
conditions. The last may either be per
manent or have the same evanescent ex-
istence as the original current.
When electricity is employed to charge
storage battery, only that part which is
transformed into chemical energy IS
used. The rest is dissipated. The bat
terry. then. instead of being aplacc where
electricity is laid away, is place where
chemicals are left by the current, with
the expectation that they will in turn
produce current when called upon.
This may seem fine distinction, but 1t
is only apparently so. For instance,
the current might be produced by a dy-
ramo turned by Niagara water power.
The chemical left by it might be zinc
denosited from solution Of zinc sui
phate. This might be transported, pre-
served. bought and sold, aud finally be
employed by some physicist to produce
another current. Were the electricity
itself stored in its original form, then
the imaginative reader can best tell what
would become Of it aud how it must be
handled. Il Popular Science Monthly.

Plenty of bedding should be supplied

A choleraic disease in chinch bugs is
said to have been discovered by Professor
Snow, chancellor of the Kansas State
University. Diseased insects were let
loose in an infested field and soon all the
parasites disappeared. The discovery
will be utilized for the protection of
crops.

as such in the register.
The food is the cause Of the poor
butter; wheat shorts is not good food
for making butter. If this food is
changed for four quarts of fine cornmeal
daily, with good clover hay, the butter
will no doubt improve in quality. 1t
Will be best every way to cut the hay,
moisten it, and mix the meal with it.
Bran Is rich in phOsphates, but it is a
food the hens do not like unless It is
scslded. Never feed it to them in raw
condition, as it is liable to cause bowel
disease. A mixture of equal parts OF
bran, cornmeal and ground oats, scalded
and allowed to remain until the mess IL
cool, is the hest grain food that can be
fed.

SALT AS A FERTILIZER.

All plants contain more or less chic
rine, and, as this clement is supplied by
the salt, it is most probable that this con-
tribution to the soil is the principal val
ne of this fertilizer. 1t may be that the
soda is also of value, for all plants con-
tain sodaas we'll a chlorine combined as
salt. Almost all crops are benefited by
an application of salt, but grass, clover,
oats, wheat, beets, cabbages and Gspar-
agus more than any others. The yield
of grass and clover has been doubled by
an application of 500 pounds per acre of
salt, and the same quantity is invariably
found to benefit mangels. About 200
pounds per acre is used for wheat, and
this quantity sown on young wheat has
preserved it from damage by the hessian
fly; the salt falling in the base of the
leaves where the insect hides kills the
worms.-New York Times.
