o'clock, when it went over till tomor-

presented message of the president
stating the reasons why he had not
approved the bill passed by both
houses last session on the
question, "Shall the bill pass?"
The objection Of the president, not
withstanding the vote was about
being taken by yeas and nays when
Senator Sanders interposed with the
suggestion that some explanation be
made of why the bill should pass. He
entered into argument to show why
IT should not pass. Mr.. Teller made a

TRACING A CAR.

How Man Travelled Ten thousand Miles
In Search Of One.
One of the best Jobs In car tracing
ever done in this country was COM
pletcd about three weeks ago BY car
tracer of the New York Central The
road had lost . car, and sent out the
tracer to look It up He followed il
west to Pittsburgh, then to Cincinnati.
then to Chicago, and from there to
St. Louis Here he lost track Of it.
but after some search found it had
been In an accident and had been re-
painted. BY some oversight the num-
Der had been changed. but taking tho
new number, he chased the car to
Kansas City. where he found il had
been loadet, and sent on to Galveston.
To Galveston he went, and there found
that, after taking . fresh load. the car
had rone to San Francisco. He went
after'it, but on reaching San Francis
co found the car had gone back to Gal
weston
BY this time his blood was up and
he made up his mind to find that car II
il took the balance Of his natural life.
So he went back to Galveston. and. to
make long story short, followed that
car +, New Orleans. to Mobile. to At
lanta. to half dozen places In Florida,
then back to New Orleans. to Calves
ton again, and thence to Kansas City.
and from there to Chicago. He had
now been on the hunt for over three
months, but had got 90 close TO the
runaway that just - he came into Chi
cago by one road the car left over an
other on its way to Buffalo. Its load
was consigned to that point, and when
he ascertaired the fact he telegraphed
on to have the car held, and took the
next train for the east At Buffalo he
came up with the car and caught his
hrst sight Of it. He had travelled al-
most constantly for over thirteen
weeks. traversing distance Of ten
or twelve thousand milea-St Louis

THE FENCE QUESTION.


valuable Notes for Those WAo Coaslasl
Feoces . Nuisance.
It Is within the memory Of many
farmers when tAe fences ON . farm
were considered the most important
part Of its improvements That was
when stock was altogether kept by pas
turing in summer and mainly by feed.
ing hay in winter. In those times the
lack Of fencing that prevented pastur-
ing the young clover on green stubble
or the aftermath of = meadow was re-
garded rs . misfortune. Now it Is gen.
orally known, says the American Guilt
vator, that young clover should never
be pastured, and in most cases after
growth on meadows may better be left
to lie and rot on the ground than to
build even temporary fence for the
protection of adjoining crops while it
is pastured.
Many farmers. where fencing ma
terial is scarce, have learned to dis
pense entirely with inside fences, and
this tendency Is growing. Where it is
desirable to pasture cattle or horses .
few days they are tied to stakes moved
daily. 50 as to give change of food. But
most Of the feed is cut green and taken
to the stable, where the animals re-
main sheltered from the burning sun.
and In greater comfort than they
could be running At large. The
greater amount Of feed that land
produces In soiling crops makes this
cheaper than pasturing. It enables
more stock to be kept, more manure to
be made, and this is naturally followed
by more thorough cultivation Of the
soil We believe this plan can be fol-
lowed more generally than is often
supposed 1t is not merely adapted to
dear lands near cities, but is of equal
advantage ON cheaper land, with this
condition. that there be on the latter
the means for supplying plenty Of
labor. 1t Is the lack of these condi-
tions that make IL harder to bring up
poor land at . distance from cities or
large villages
The way to dispense with fences is
to begin selling or part soiling on q
small scale at first II needs rich land
70 grow selling crops profitably. and
the first year or two only . small piece
can be got in proper condition. II ma
nure or grain for feeding stock can be
bought, land may be brought up to the
soiling standard more rapidly. But in
either case il will be idle to expect
profitable returns except with good
stock. This will require good deal Of
attention, and the needed care will be
better given TO stock fed BY hand than
to that allowed to run in inclosed pas
ture and feed itself
