The Proper Time for Flowing.

The matter of when to pillow depends
upon the kind of land, and the farmer
must judge for himself. On some farms
it is best to pillow only in the spring,
while on other farms the use of the
pillow during the fall and winter will be
of advantage. If the land is subject
to ''washings" by heavy rains it should
not be disturbed until well into the
spring. Sandy soils need not be plowed
in the fall, but late fall blowing OF
clay soils, and an application of lime
on the land after blowing, should i'm.
prove its quality by the chemical action
of the lime and the pulverizing influ-
ence of frost.

FEEDING IN WINTER.
The Kind of Economy Which Makes Stont
Raising u Success.

ANutHiuk ~ SocccNss
There is always an increase in the
cost of feeding stock as soon as the
weather gets cooler, and especially in
feeding to fatten. With all animals a
certain quantity of food is necessary to
sustain animal life. and heat, and this
will be taken up first. If growth or
gain is made it must be after this is
supplied, and much larger amount of
food is necessary to sustain animal heat
in winter than when the weather is
mild
If only sufficient food is given to
maintain life there will be no gain, and
the food given will be in great
measure wasted. 1t is with the gain
secured that the profit is realized from
the feed. If only life and heat are
maintained the food given is so much
added to the cost without correspond
ing gain. But by adding sufficient
quantity more to maintain good
growth there is at least an oppor-
tunity for profit. With nearly all
classes of stock a good growth can be
maintained not only with cheaper ra-
ton but with less food than is required
when fattening.
One Of the principal objections to
winter fattening is the increased cost
made necessary in maintaining ami
NAL heat, This can be decreased to
considerable extent by providing
warm, dry shelter; yet even then the
conditions are such that it costs more
to fatten stock in winter than at any
other season.
When it can be done all stock intend.
ed for market should be rushed now
and be marketed before severe cold
weather sets in. Stock b be wintered
over should have warm, dry quarters,
so as to decrease as much as possible
the quantity of food necessary to main
tain animal heat Shelter is cheaper
J than food, and when the margin be-
tween the value of the feed and the
value of the stock when ready to mar
ket is small every item must be consid-
cred that will lessen the cost of feeding
or add to the value of the animal when
ready to market
With good shelter roushness cai be
made the principal food, very little
grain being necessary to keep in good
condition. but without shelter consid-
cradle grain must be supplied if the
stock is kept thrifty, and the grain be.
ing much more expensive increases the
cost. Comfortable quarters, regular
feeding with good care and keeping
thrifty will lessen the cost of growth
as well as of fattening; and the less the
cost the greater the profit. More OF
less stock must be kept in many farms
to consume the ronghness to good ad
vantage; but at the same time care
must be taken to use all means To in
crease the profit by lessening the cost

"7Here's something behind It,"
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of a medi.
cine trying to prove that they be.
lieve in it. "There must be some.
thing back of it'll"
But it's a plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. It cures
Catarrh in the Head. TO its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. 1t has q record that
goes back for rs years. It doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cures. With a Rem
edy like this, the proprietols can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "nevcr heard of anything
like this offer ?" True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like DR.. Sage's Remedy.

WASHINGTON, March 20-The Indian
approximation tiil, which takes from
the treasury 590,001, 900 or more, has
stag ,ele,l even tie presideat and Secre-
tary Noble, and j. is said that they have
decided not to pay the money carried in
the bill for tie puspose of paying off
treaty obligatiouS until a complete in
yes,igation can be made. The largest
item in the bill is the $4,000, 600 appro
priation for what is known as the Chick
asaw and Choctaw claims, which have
been coming up for several years, Sec
retary Nob.e made written protest
against the payment of this claim, say
ing that after Il careful investigation he
had learned it was not well founded.
Chairman Cannon of the appropriation
committee made a fierce attack upon it,
and declared it TO be the rottenest claim
that had been made in congress for
many years. Senator Allison, chair
man of the senate committee also grew
red i'll the face deuouncing this veteran
claim, and Senator Dawes was so as
founded at the way the whole bill was
thrown toge her that he refused openly
in the senate 10 take charge of the bill,
although il was his duty to do so as
chairman of the committee on Indian
affairs. He finally yielded to pursuasion,
however, and fathereI the Lii in a half
hearted fashion.
Now the president and Secretary
Noble have decided to hold up the pay
ment Of the Cnicasaw and Choctaw
claim, net becauSa congress saw tit to
pas it, but be cause firm Of reputable
Washington lawyers has contract al
lowing Il fee of 10per cent. of the amount
Of the claim, or, i'll round numbers,
$500, 600. 1t does not appear that there
is any reason why these lawyers should
not receive this amount if those to whom
congress ha, given the 50, 900, ,010 care to
pay it. Jhe head Of lie firm which has
this pleasant contract is Gen. Halbert Z.
Pa ne, who formerly represented the
Milwaukee district in the house of repre-
sentatives, and was afterwards commits
sioner of paleats.
The iiil was strung together in such
careless fashion that it was almost inn
possible for the department officials or
anybody else 10 tell what ii meant. The
most expert statisticians at the capitol
nave given up the task Of attempting to
estimate the amount Of money it carries.
Some of them think they can get within
three or four million dollars of the total
amount, but this is the lest they can do.
