A prolonged discussion. IN which. nearly

claim of the Panhandle machinery and imple

Not that the claim was disputed, but how
to pay it was the questio,. The company,
represented by MIR. Marshall, wanted 90-day

finally it was agreed TO issue two notes

stood discussing the action of the council

We recommend, as directed by the council,
that, in view Of the hard times, no tax be
levied for said purposes. but that the said
improvements be made by bonds to be
issued for said purposes at some future
time
From communication received from the
city assessor and collector, we learn that
the total taxable values for the year 1891 On
the rolls amount to S23, 926 667. The amount
to be raised by taxation, as stated at the
foot OF the fourth page hereof, is $3.50, 500.

total valuation will produce-without max

as above set out. We therefore recommend
that the rate levied be fixed by ordinance at
said figure of 81. Is per 500; that the city
attorney be instructed to prepare proper
ordinance in accordance herewith.
These recommendations, we believe. fully
carry out the resolutions adopted at the late
executive meetings of your body, ard. as
far as possible, meet the views OF the citi-
zenS of our city in retrenching wherever it
could be done without absolute detriment
to tn public welfare.
We recommend that the chances in en-

Potash for Wheat.

In the experiments made by Sir John
B. Lawes and DR.. Gilbert at Rotham-
stead for more than forty years, potash
seems to have had no effect as a ferti-
lizer for wheat, except when combined
with both phosphoric acid and nitrogen.
In the experiments now in progress at
the Ohio Experiment station potash seems
to have no effect on wheat, whether
used alone or in any combination. At
the experiment station of Kentucky pot
ash has produced very marked increase
of crop when used on corn, hemp, tobac-
co and potatoes; but here again it fails
to increase the yield of wheat, whether
used alone or in combination. The Ohio
and Kentucky experiments are as yet in
their infancy, and it is probable that as
the soil becomes more Worn even wheat
will show some benefit from applications
of potash; but the present indications
are that this substance is seldom needed
in fertilizers intended for tins crop. 1t
may be that the clover following the
wheat will make good use Of the potash,
but this is point which has still to be
determined by experiment

venting a few of the stronger sheep
crowding after you, punching and COB
bling the grain, as they will do when
poured into an old fashioned V shaped
trough. After the grain is placed in the
troughs the wings which are hung upon
pivots are then turned down, and the
sheep all pass to their grain at once, each
one getting an equal portion; the wings
which then slope together form the hay
rack, the sheep drawing the hay from an
opening at the bottom.
There are no stanchion Stats to wear
the wool from the neck and shoulders,
no chance for chaff to work into the
wool, nor for them to waste their hay.
A small door hinged at one end of the
rack makes it handy to sweep the dirt
out of the troughs. This feeding rack
was formerly held by patent, and farm
rights sold at s. to SO: but the patent
expired some years ago, and it is now
free to be made and used by any one.

Great care should be taken to select

A MIRACLE.
How sometimes we lie still. too spent to weer

How sometimes we lie still, too spent to weep,
Longing for rest AZ deserts long for rain;
Wondering what spirit stirs the tired brain,
Why the poor heart should weary vigil keep;
Denied the peaceful, tickling touch of sleep
On our pale eyeids; murmustng, Life is pain;
Oh for a rest that does not wake AGAIN.
Then comes a sound of rushing through the air,
And the baked sands drink up the FLASHING
rain;
Sleep soaks our souls in answer to our prayer;
And, marvellous! the next day life is plain,
Easy and simple, profitable and fairl
