1t is not many years ago, says the Ne
braska Farmer, when mare had become
useless as a dam for fine colts she was
put to raising mules, though at this time
some of the best mares in the country are
used for this purpose, good mule being
worth more, coming into use sooner and
with less experience to raise. When,
however, we once breed mare to jack
her escutcheon is indelibly marked, and
she will never drop perfect colt again,
but, no matter how carefully bred, her
progeny will forever bear the impress Of
a brsying mule, and even the mule is
debarred from maternity and paternity,
it being very rare for mule to breed,
though the sexual instinct is very strong
in both sexes

Instead Of shutting up a sow and

simply keeping away from the sow all

A man who has tried this method says
that by it the milk gradually fails and
the pigs wean themselves before they

it goes on through thin wall and strikes

People in the east We're in the habit Of
seeing celery trimmed as shown at the
right of our illustration, and we have
learned to like the way, especially as the
center OF the root part is as good to eat
as any other part Of the plant. The
Kalamazoo people cut the root off square
and usually pretty close to the heart, as
shown at the left of illustration. This
to us looks like mutilation, and we think
the growers make mistake. 1t may
take little longer to trim the roots off
with four outs than with single stroke
Of the knife, but it will pay in the end
by making more sales and increasing
the demand for their products.

WASHINGTON, April 80 Secretary Of
State Blaine last night declined 70 talk
about Minister Blair being unacceptable
TO the Chinese government further than
TO say that the matter was a diplomatic
affair and he did not care 20 say anything
about il for publication, or to notice and
reply TO newspaper speculations about IT,
Minister Yen at the Chinese legation
would only say through an interpreter
that he had received dispatch from his
home government expressing the un.
willingness OF the emperor to receive Mr..
Blair, which he was instructed 20 lay be.
fore Secretary Blaine without delay. This.
he said, were the only instructions he had
received on the subject, but he declined
20 furnish a copy OF the dispatch or to
state the reasons given for this action
While the dispatch or the reasons for
not desiring Mr.. Blair IN China are kept q
profound secret, everybody understands
that It Is because he is opposed to Chinese
immigration to this country
The published report that Mr. Blair's
commission had been made out with his
location abroad left blank, SO that II ht
was not acceptable to China he could bt
sent 70 Japan, IS regarded as absurd every
where in diplomatic circles Mr.. Blair, It
is believed, has by this time been officially
notified Of the feeling o. the Chinese gov.

The Chemists Statement.
The statement Of the chemist in Denver
who is engaged on the analysis Of the con
tents Of the bottle sent to Mrs Barnaby
excites the greatest interest Ia Providence,
as it shows that the fluid must have been
prepared by some person thoroughly famil-

This has suggested the impossihility Of
an uneducated Adirondack guide, like
Bennett, of Blue Mountain lake, or his
wife, preparing such a cunningly disguised
concoction without the assistance OF an
educated and skillful chemist.
