' Edison Is enthusiastic over his new
long distance electric motor. 1t will
displace steam because it is cheaper
than steam, he says, and the man with
the nerve to begin the displacement is
MIR. Henry Willard. Being an ex-
newspaper reporter, Mr.. Willard may
be expected to have nerve enough for
anything. The time when steam will
begin to go down before electricity on
long distance trains, will be during the
worlds fair; place, the railroad be-
tween Chicago and Milwaukee. The
electric current will pass from a sta
tionary engine to central rail, thence
to the motor. So Edison says.

way OF feeding. Observe COW or

greedily eaten by animals whose usual
diet is hay. People In cities who keep

thing they feed. are most apt to re-
strict animals and with least excuse.
by using IA little forethought they can
secure variety OF feed. and all will
then be eaten. with less waste than Is
the case where only one kind ut time
is given. Appetite fails from lack OF
variety in horses and COWS. us IL does

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


Nearly every farmer has his own
ideas In reference TO feeding horses.
and especially those who look after
their stock carefully and seek TO de-
rive from each the largest profit
Horses must be kept on tho farm all
OF the time. and 10 more or less ex-
tent ut least. they must nearly always
be ready for service. and this implies
keeping thcm in a good. thrifty condi-
ton. The small amount OF feed that
may be saved by stinting the feed
when the teams nro nc rest, Is usually
more than made up by the extra feed
requied TO get them In the proper con-
dition for work. Ia order To get the
most work at the least cost with the
teams 1t Is very essential that they
should be In thrifty. vigorous condi-
ton. and this is fully rs important
during the winter as in tho summer
Horses as well Is any other class OF
stock not only relish variety OF food.

will not keep them in the best condi-
ton ut the lowest cost This is "A
good ration. but when fed for any
length OF time. tho horses tire OF il
and need change. tJnthreshed oats
rua through cutting box and small
quantity OF bran added. is another
good ration, and oftentimes very
economical one; but IL should not be
used exclusively too long Straw,
clover hay and bran with n little oil
meal Is another good ration. Where
1t Is raised ration OF part oats and
barley with hay or fodder can be given.
On the average farm there ought not
TO be any difficulty in securing good
variety. and to make sufficient
changes to keep in good appetite If 1.
little pains are taken.

about giving 1t In winter Is not 10 al

Old corn Is worth more than new,
because IL contains the concentrated
nutriment OF the grain after its water
has evaporated. This moisture in
new corn is injurious. ms IL leads TO
fermentation rather than digestion in

II Is not the agricultural college that
weans the boy from tho farm. but the

stated that In Ontario. where they

TO agricultural schools. moro than
eighty-lve per cent OF them go back
TO the farm. Aud President Chamber
lain says he has often wished that he
could exchange two years study OF

instruction that Is usually given in a
real agricultural college.
One serious fault OF agriculture Is
the slight attention paid TO root crops

summer has available not only all tho
nitrates available to wheat or oats or.
barley or rye. but also the large sup
ply OF nitratos formed in the soil dur
Ing summer and early autumn. The
autumn and winter rains wash the
soil rather bare OF nitrates before tho
cereals begin growth in the spring. A

The bill of Senator Magee authorizing a
sort OF civil service examination Tor those
who may be applicants for positions in
the various institutions of the state was
very good one, and should not have re-
ceived the treatment it did in being voted
down. There always have been large
number of hungry hounds in the state
wanting Office, or some position where the
pay is prompt and the work light, and it
bids fair to continue The matter OF COM
potency in the selection of men seems
generally of minor consideration. Were
they good party workers? was the main
thing generally. Consequently almost
every year scandals, big and little, are re-
ported from many of the institutions of
the state. Magee's bill would have greatly
lessened the number of these and a much
better class Of officials would have been in
control. The civil service business is
never popular with-a hungry office-seeker
or the man who is too INDECENT to earn
his bread with his own hands in private
life, but decent people have generally a
high regard for it.
