Many papers have recommended test
ing garden and field seeds by placing
them between layers of damp cotton,
and putting them in a sunny place in a
room. This is not very severe test.
Seeds not entirely lacking ia vitality
would germinate under such favorable
circumstances. They might not sprout,
however, If they were placed in the
soil where they are ordinarily planted,
and it is possible that they would not
produce plants that would stand
ordinary exposure if they did.

LAMBS. Lambs may be weaned
when from to 8 months old. They
and their mothers should be separated
and placed in lots out of sight of each
other, and among with the young
things should be put three or four
wethers or dry ewes to keep them
tame. They should have good pasture
and little grain daily, whereas the
ewes should be temporarily stinted for
the purpose of drying up their milk.
When shearing time arrives the flock
should be passed in review and dirty
locks OF wool be cut off; then the
sheep should be washed, and in four or
i've days, or as soon as the wool is dry,
they may be sheared.

KILLING RATs.-One OF the best
articles known for killing rats is plaster
of Paris (calcined gypsuml. 1t should
be thoroughly mixed dry with an equal
part of flour and Indian meal, and
placed where they can get at it. The
rats will gorge themselves with the
mixture without distrust; it will set
and harden in their stomachs and death
will soon follow.

FARM NOTES

how To FEED HORSES Some ona
says that more horses are annually
Killed or injured by over-feeding and
by injudicious feeding than by starva'
tion or most other causes. In horses
we can detect as many different tenn.
iperaments and dispositions as In men,
though but few horse owners take this
fact into mature consideration in the
management of their horses, particular
1y in that part of it relating to food
and feeding. Some horses are natural
gluttons, and they must be seen to
carefully, or they will, at times, be apt
to seriously injure themselves by feed
ing too fast, while much OF the food
they consume will pass through them
undigested, for the simple reason that
IL is swallowed before it had been pro-
perly masticated. We like TO see what
is termed ''gCOd FEEDER" lone which
does not mince or pick carefully over
his feed but then we are not at all
partial to the Tavenous ones Such
horse as the latter named. will dive
into his feed with his mouth wide open,
and invariable takes more at mouth
full than lie can either hold i'll his
mouth or properly masticate. There

is usually tender, delicate animal, and
not at all desirable. The trouble with
most persons who keep horses, no
matter whether on the farm for farm
work, or for driving purposes, is they
feed too much hay; and to this cause
can be attributed the general sluggish
ness often manifested by the horses
until they have been working couple
of hours, while the wind is also much |
impaired. Night is the only time when
hay should be fed, especially to animals |
used for quick WORK. Even the slow |
plough team should have but little hay |
at the morning and noon feeds, but |
give them a generous supply at the
evening meal. BY doing this, your
horse will keep in better spirits and !
condition, and free from any tendency
to ''pOt belly" which horsemen so
much dislike to see.

HOW TO USE THE DAIRY.


"Without this phosphorized oil fur
nished by the blood for the use and
growth of the nervous system. it would
cease to grow and with it would de-
cline the energy of all the functions of
the body" Babies and women alike
need this, and it is most attainable in
cream which, diluted, is far easier of
digestion for the youngest child than
cows milk. Many of the worst dys-
peptics find themselves able to digest
pure, sweet butter and diluted cream
as well as soft boiled fresh eggs, an
our nervous, scrawny women want to
secure these articles of food in their
best quality and freshness.
When shall we have the admirably
contrived parcel post service of Eng
land and the Continent, which fur
nishes the London housekeeper with
fresh cans of cream and butter churned

There is n case on trial before the
United States court in Los Angeles of
peculiar significance, says the Ventura
Free Press.
The point raised is upon the following
facts. Several years ago man named
Stewart granted certain land in Ventura
county to Gandolfo, coupled with a COW
enant that the land should never be
leased to Chinese Gandolfo sold the
land to Hartman, and the same covenant
was in the conveyance Hartman, how
ever, broke the covenant and
when Gandolfo brought suit to
en- join him he raises a demurrer to such
n proceeding and denies that such "a
covenant could be made to run with the
land, as is the legal phrase He main
tains that the agreement between
Stewart ard Gandolfo was all right so
far as they were concerned, but that
that agreement did not attach to the
land and hold as against him when he
bought it. The property in question
is the property adjoining A. Gandolfo's
store in Ventura and the result of tho
case is looked upon with considerable in

BRO WNELL HALL.
Completion of the FIRST Term of the
School Ycar.


The first term of the school year at
Brownel hall was completed yesterday. Ex-
aminations were held and the young ladies
are ready to enter upon the second terms
work.
This has been the most successful term in
the history of BrOwnell hall. NOtwithsJand-
ing the hard times in western n ebraS ka,
which prevented number of young
ladies from attending school, the at
tendance at present from Nebraska
is greater than ever before. The grade of
work done during the term was exceptionally
good. The health of the young ladies in
school has been excellent, and the interest
taken in almost every department of study
has been constant and energetic.
DR.. Doherty has made proposition to tho
trustees which cOntemplates the ishiug up
of the south wing of the building. This is
made necessary by the crowded condition
of the hall. In the music depart
ment, particularly, there has oeen
has thirteen pianos in constant use. The en-
is required, and yet some of the resident pu-
pills have been turned away because the
teachers had not time to hear them.
Much new apparatus has been added to
the chemical ana physical departments. The
gymnasium is now one of the most complete
in the west, and the apparatus is of the best
and most approved inventions known among
physical directors
There are at present 132 young ladies' in
the school. They come from the states of
Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Dakota
and Wyoming. The senior or graduating &
class will have seven members this year.

time it is Chris Boyer, who has faithfully

"When the Dennis Investigation was going

was a case of the neatest whitewashing that

guilty of the misrepresentation of funds, but
there the matter dropped. If it had been

Cution.
II want to tell you that half of the major $

taken the records of his Office and conducted

Collector Alexander Agility.

Collector Alexander frequently encounters
difficulties but it isn't often that they bother
him much. When the news of Secretary
Windom's death appeared in THE BEE, the
ollector ordered both flags on the custom
house at half mast as tribute of respect to
the departments chief official. An examina-
tion of the flag pole revealed the fact that
the rope had broken loose and caught at the
of the staff. He called upon the
telephone company for a lineman, and ex-
pected to have the flags displayed before
night. No one came, however, and yesterday
morning he called again. Much to his sur
prise, the answer came back that none of the
linemen cared to risk themselves upon the
high pole, The Western Union had no man
at liberty, ana as the emergency demanded
prompt measures. the collector believed he
could do the act himself He remembered
his youthful agility in climbing masts of YES
sells being rigged at Yankee ports and re-
called the countless expeditions into tall
chestnuts after crows nests and squirrels
and having convinced himself that the trick
was an easy one, he borrowed a pair of
climbers, went up to the roof and on up the
pole He had gotten within six feet OF the
top when the long unused muscles began to
weaken. Winding the rope around an arm
he began to descend for a rest Landing safely
at last upon the roof, he held a council of war
with Major Lindsay, the ianitor, and decided
to take a lunch before making sec
ond attempt. In the meantime
Captain Dimmock of the Pacific
telegraph company offered the services of an
expert, who would be on hand at O'clock
If he does not come,' remarked the nervy
