A Novel Corn Tie.

A writer in the Ohio Practical
Farmer says: For several years we
have been using the blades of the
common cat tail (Typha latifolia) for
tying corn-fodder. The blades should
be cut before frost and in time that
they may cure partly before they
need to be used. If they are too dry
and brittle, dampen the bundle as
you would rye straw. A grass sickle
is very good for cutting them. We
think them better than straw, being
much stronger, nicer to handle, and if
cared for, will last for a number of
years. If this plant is growing near
you it might be we'll to try it. Or if it
is not handy it would, l think, be
profitable to start it. 1t will thrive
in a rich black soil if there is q
constant supply of water. 1t will
produce more bands on any area and
does not need to be cared for as rye.

The Lice Plague.

Lice are the greatest plague and
profit destroyer of the poultry raiser.
Unless the utmost care and cleanliness
are observed they are sure to appear
as soon as warm weather comes. 1t
is the best not to wait until they
come before applying the remedies,
but saturate the perches with kero-
sene now, burn up all old filthy nests,
and whitewash coops and fences with
hot lime wash. Do this thoroughly,
and it will save lots oftrouble later in
the season. The effectiveness of the
whitewash is much increased by ap-
plying it hot and getting we'll into the
cracks and corners.

Sheep Profitable,

Speaking about paying stock, the
American Live Stock Journal says
that sheep are undoubtedly the best
paying stock kept, and when their en-
riching and brush destroying procliv
tiles are considered, it is questionable
whether any farm can afford to
run without flock. The call from
good livers for fine lamb and mutton
is on the increase, and the time will
never come when wool, famous for it's
usefulness in all ages, will not be priced.

Cleanliness for Sheep.

Be careful about the sheep pens dur
ing warm weather. 1t is necessary to
have pens into which they may go for
shelter during storms, but they should
not be housed in these at night unless
they are dry and we'll Ventilated.
Nothing is worse for sheep, more
quickly inducing disease, than over
warm pens, which of necessity become
damp and foul. Cleanliness is perhaps
more essential for sheep than for any
other class of live stock.

THE RAILROAD AGREEMENT.
Huntington and Gould Seeking a Colossal
Consolidation.

Huntington and Gould Seeking a Colossal
Consolidation.
New YORK, Feb. S.-The Sun to-day
says: ''It is an open secret among
their immediate associates that al
though Mr.. Jay Gould and Mr.. c. P.
Huntington, representing respectively
the Missouri Pacific and the Southern
Pacific systems, gave their assent to the
agreement, which is the basis of the
new Western Railway Traffic Associa-
ton, that agreement did not win their
support
''It did not go far enough to suit
either of them, but they accepted it as
step in the right direction simply be-
cause it was a sort of compromise
measure upon which all the companies
represented at the conference at Mr.
Morgan's house could agree. 1t is to
the credit of Messrs. Gould and Hunt
ington that they not only yielded their
personal views. but that they have
since entered into the spirit of the
agreement with as much, if not more,
earnestneSS than certain of their COM
petitors.
MIR Huntington's remedy for the
evils of excessive competition is con-
solidation. His conviction is based on
experience. He has welded his inter
est into one great company-the South
ern Pacific-over 1000 miles of railway,
forming system extending from Port
land, Ore, to Galveston, with
monopoly of the rail transporta-
ton on the entire Pacific coast
Mr.. Gould's plan was the adoption of
joint agencies for the conduct of all
competitive traffic and the discharge of
the vast army of freight canvassers,
whose zeal is largely responsible for
the almost constant decentralization of
rates. Mr.. Huntington's views were
considered too radical for immediate
adoption. Mr.. Gould's plan was re-
ferred to the commissioners of the new
association.
''Since that association was formed,
neither of these railway m anagers have
been idle nor have they abandoned
hope of ultimately perfecting an alli-
ance between the railways west of the
Mississippi, which will reduce the evils
of competition to minimum. Counting
upon acquiescence of the managers and
stockholders of the Atchison company,
Messrs. Gould and Huntington have
had their lieutenants prepare ex-
haustive analysis of the capitalization,
the indie btedneSS, earnings and mileage
of the Missouri Pacific, the Southern
Pacific and the Atchison systems. with
the view of determining from them a
basis upon which the three systems
may be consolidated or brought under
the control of single operation A
great deal of progress has been made
and the work does not lag because
Mr.. Gould is absent from the CITY,
Executive officers Of the Southern Pa
cific system have been summoned from
San Francisco to take part in the work
and it is trustworthy stated that SEN
ator Stanford has given his support to
the scheme. As yet none of the three
interests is absolutely committed to the
proposition, but all have taken it up
with degree of earnestness that argues
strongly in favor of its adoption
