Senator Vest Of Missouri was the au-
thor Of the free coinage bill that passed
the Senate. He sprung it on that body
at the opportune moment and succeeded
IN getting it through. Bland, also Of
Missouri, has been leading the battle in
the House for free coinage. Both men
are Of the minority party in their rA-
spective Houses. This is rather a rare
circumstance that the same State should
furnish leaders at both ends Of the CAPT
toll on a question Of such great magni-
tude to the whole country. And still
Missouri does not produce an ounce Of
silver bullion. but every member Of her
delegation in both Houses of Congress
stands solid for the Western interest.
The people Of Nevada and the other
mining States should gratefully touch
their hats to old Missouri.

The Breeder and Sportsman indorses
the following as the easiest, safest and
most sensible way to teach a colt to lead,
its degree of efficiency being dependent
upon previous training:
Put halter on the colt and halter
break it. Harness a gentle horse in
cart. Procure q slender stick like a
broom handle (the sprout of a willow,
locut or elm is as good about four and
One-half feet long; use it as jockey
stick. Fasten one end with a thong of
buckskin to the colts halter at the chin.
Make the other end fast to the centre of
the breastplate Of the harness. Then
fasten long strap or cord to the halter
at the chin, and tie the end back so that
it will hold the colt about abreast OF the
horse. The jockey stick will hold the
colt off from the horse about four feet
The strap will hold him from going in
front. Start the horse off in walk. If
the colt fails to come up to place touch
him with whip. In five minutes the
colt will trot alongside of the horse,
more or less agreeable 10 you as he is
we'll or otherwise broken to halter, or as
he likes the company of the horse. You
can turn either way without danger
You can fasten the jockey stick to the
shaft where it goes through the strap if
you prefer. Then your stick would
answer if four feet long"

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Tarred paper will drive away lice.

Tarred paper will drive away lice.
Leg weakness is often caused by too
rapid growth.
Straw is better than hay to put in the
nests of laying hens.
A hen likes to scratch and should be
given the opportunity.
Lime is cheaper than roup and fumi-
cation better than lice.
Sand is not substitute for gravel and
should not be made to take its place.
T. is never good economy to feed the
hens more than they will eat up clean.
Until the chickens are six weeks old
sweet milk can be used instead of water,
and the poultry will thrive better.
A dry dust bath is very essential tc
the health Of the fowls during the win
ter. Arrange it in the corner of the
house.
On the farm, where she can have
good range, sixty pounds of grain will
keep hen a year in good, thrifty con-
dition.
The goose, if properly managed, lays
about as many eggs as turkey, and can
be raised to maturity at about one-half
the cost.
Unless willing to pay attention to lit
tie things 1t will hardly be advisable to
go into the poultry business as q
speciality.
Ordinarily it is not good plan to try
to hatch ducks too early. They will
thrive better after the weather rets warm
and settled.
Young fowls when first Matched do
not require any kind Of food for twenty
four hours. Bread soaked in milk il
good for the first feed.
If the fowls are healthy to begin with,
and they are we'll fed and cared for, no
artificial preparations are necessary Il
maintain good health.
1t has been thoroughly settled that thu
hens will lays more eggs, and the egg
will keep longer and better, without
ROSTERS than with them.
During the winter every effort shout!
be taken to give the fowls all the sun
light possible. Let them out whenves
the weather will permit.
Young chicks need the best Of care
and the most nutritious food to give
them a vigorous start to grow. Ones
well started it is comparatively easy to
keep them growing.

CALVES IN WINTER.

At first thought, any boy who has
been brought up on the farm would be
able to tell, if questioned, what the
young animal needs the first winter OF its
life. So many poor, understood creatures
we see standing out-of doors on
sunny day, late in winter or early spring,
would seem to show that the farmer
himself did not put the knowledge in
practice. II the calf, when cold weather
comes on, is in a good, thriving condi-
ton, 1t is Of great Importance that it is
maintained until the animal is turned
away In the spring to seek its own living.
Warmth is the first essential, not only to
comfort, but to development. If there is
any difference in the stables, give the
calf the best and warmCst place. Water
it regularly, and keep it housed all the
day. What one farmer said in regard to
his dairy, "He never saw any good in
northwest wind for his herd" is equally
true of the calf. Calves are usually shy
in the fall, unless they have been fed and
handled through the summer. Win their
confidence, and keep it. Call them into
the stable, instead of forcing them with
rod or dog. When they are there, let
them expect something appetizing.
Apples, roots, or vegetables, of any kind
will be appreciated. OF course the daily
ration of grain will not be omitted. The
old way was to keep and feed young
stock together with the few sheep kept
on the farm. All were turned out in the
morning, and fed in the yard. 1t was
the "survival of the ittest," the strong
selecting the best and trampling the bal
ance. 1t is sad to say that this practice
is still continued, to some extent. An
thrax, or "blackleg," frequently breaks
out, always attacking the best and most
hearty of the herd. AS a proven
tive, give sulphur, mixed with salt, add
ing a small quantity of saltpeter. Lice
are the pest of the young animal, and
must be got rid of. If there are any
among the herd that show signs of
disease, take them out and isolate them.
Keep by themselves apart FROM the
others. -1mericoe Agricu1turist.

POINTS IN SHEEP BUYING.

There is doubtless more desire on the
part of farmers everywhere to purchase
sheep than there was two or three years
ago. Relatively to other stock they pay
better now than then. But those going
into the business without much expert.
ence can hardly be too careful in buying.
Old sheep, if thin in flesh, are worth
only what their pelts will fetch.
Younger sheep, strong and lively, are
good purchase where they are to be kept
on hay and straw, and turned out to
pasture next spring. But these thin
sheep of any age are not profitable for
winter fattening. Only sheep that are
in good condition, almost fat enough for
the butcher, will bear grain feeding,
and even they should be fed very lightly,

not over half pound per day. at first.
The fatter the sheep Or lamb the mora
flesh and wool it will put on from an
equal amount of grain feeding The fat.
ness of the animal indicates gsSd di-
gestion. A sheep thin in flesh mas al
ways had its digestion injured, and
sheep with poor stomach is as poor an
animal to keep as horse with poor feet.
When farmers sell their focks they often
sell the whole, good and poor, together.
They might as sensibly run the cuttings
in with good apples in selling them. At
the large sheep markets the dealer as
sorts the sheep, picking out the best for
a high price to those who fatten. The
farmer who goes to one of these markets
thinking that any sheep rightly handled
will pay is sure TO lose. He may buy
culls at a very low price, but these are
worth more to kill, just as they are, for
their pelts, and convert their carcases
into manure or soap-grease. 1t is GER
tain that such sheep on dry feed will not
live until spring, and the pelt would
not be worth more then than it
is earlier in the scason.-Bost0n Cult

SAVE THE POULTRY FEATHERS.

A Vermont woman who has made
poultry pay says: 81 save feathers not
only from ducks and geese, but from
chickens and turkeys 1 have two big
bags, one for the geese and duck and one
for chicken and turkey feathers. When
enough feathers have been collected to
make pillow Or cushion cut the shape
out of bed ticking and stitch closely all
around the edges, with the exception of
a small opening left at the top in which
to put the feathers. Before filling turn
the bag or case inside out and rub what
is now the right or outside of the bag
we'll with common bar soap, then put in
the feathers, tic up the whole in the bag
and place it with it's contents in a clothes
boiler and boil for few minutes, NOV
ing it about with stick and lifting it
up and down. Finally, I take it out,
drain and squeeze out the water as we'll
as can and hang up in a light, airy
place to dry. In a few days the feathers
will be light and fluffy and free from any
unpleasant odor. '-Farm, Fi3l1 md

SEVEN YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH sILos


Seven years experience with silos at
the Michigan Agricultural Station leads to
the following conclusions: The silo
should be built of lumber and located as
near the feeding-p place as possible, and
on the same level. A siio twenty-five
feet deep, ten feet wide and fourteen
feet long will be sufficient for six
months feeding Of ten COWS weighing
1000 pounds each, which will consume
600 pounds of ensilage daily. For the
silo the corn should not be harvested un-
til we'll matured. A great deaf of the
feeding value has been lost in the past by
cutting while too green and succulent.
Silage corn should never be fed alone to
obtain the best results, nor in too large
proportion when combined with other
fodder. Silage and clover hay COM
bined make most excellent mixture for
coarse fodder. These with bran, shorts,
corn-meal, etc., in proper proportions,
make the most economical food for young
cattle, and for making milk and beef
