FLOWING WITH DYNAMITE.

Subsoil blowing with dynamite is one
of the new methods in the South, aud it
is said to be equal to the process of
trenching used by the market gardeners
to loosen the earth to a depth of two or
three feet and allow the absorption of a
good deal of water for sustaining vegeta-
ton during a drought. The inventor
drills holes two or three feet deep and
five feet apart, making 1900 to the acre.
In each he puts an explosive, and after
,tamping it, discharges, the number be-
ing connected with a wire leading to a
battery. In recent experiment the ex-
plosive used was one-fourth of a small
sized dynamite cartridge, with about an
ounce of Judson powder. The surface
Of the ground appeared to be lifted two
or three feet, a few small clods being
thrown to the height of house. 1t was
broken to the depth of thirty inches at
the points Of the explosion and sideways
for a part OF the distance between the
holes.-St. Louis Republic.

TIE FEEDING VALUE Or COBMEAL.
The cob of corn is not digestible, and
Is not to be recommended for feeding to
horses. 1t is difficult to grind as fiue as
is safe for these animals, and is apt TO
produce irritation of the bowels by its
sharpness and roughuess. For cows and
sheep it is not so Objectionable, but its
small quantity of nutritive matter rem
ders it of little value Tor even these AMI
mails that have strong digestive organs.
AS it must be ground to be of any use,
the cost of grinding leaves no profit on
the feeding, and, therefore, considering
all things, it is more advisable to use
cornmeal instead of the cobmeal. As a
rule the best food is the most economi-
cal, and mere bulk is better made up
with hay, or even straw. which is more.
easily digested than the hard, woody
cobs of corn.-New York Times.

A Sailors Cnrs For seasickness.

The drinking OF salt water is said to
be perfect cure for seasc'Sness, though
it makes the drinker very miserable for
a few minutes after he takes the cure.
The sailor who recommended it to tho
sufferer in question accounted for it by
saying that the stomach on board ship
is in very sensitive state, and that the
salt water pickles it,so that 1t gets hard
ened to conditions which had previously
revolted it.-New York Telegram.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


In winter it is quite an item to have
the poultry nests as warm as possible.
Have the chicken nests reasonably
deep aud plentifully supplied with clean
straw.
On the farm We have 'life free from
conversational restraints, plenty of fresh
air, sunshine, butter, eggs, and cream,
glorious suusets-these are among the
charms that do not lose their attractive
ness in the vistas of memory"
II trees are heeled in the fall for
spring setting, care must be taken to
separate ana to see that the soil is we'll
filed in around the roots and that thor
ough drainage is provided. If this is
done this is the best plan to follow.
The beneficial effects of clover sod
are not confined to the nitrogen it COD
tains the mechanical effect in loosenIng
the soil, especially heavy soils, is an i'm
portant item, and it also serves as mulch
in retaining moisture in time of drought.
Ducks ere growing in popularity
among our farmers, some keeping fewer
chickens and increasing the number of
ducks. Rightly mar aged the duck is
wonderful fowl, one that makes for the
farmer a good deal more than he feeds
it.
Many a nice calf skin is sold for fifty
cents or less, an especially "green" one
often as low as twenty-five cents. Tanned
with the hair on, by the aid of alum
and salt, it would be excellent for nit
tens, vests to keep out wind, AMI for
caps.
Turn ram IN with a lot OF ewes and
never take him out to feed and water
the result is you have a lot of small,
weak, sickly lambs; besides you ruin
your ram for future use as lamb getter
and at lambing time you will have lots
Of trouble.
Axtell, when a colt, was fed during
the winter on corn stalks and oats. The
stalks do not seem to have injured his
wind or speed; still there are many who
claim that stalks are unfit tor horse feed
and should be thrown away rather than
used for that purpose.
When horses are going into the barn
it is well to give little food, slch as
roots or mashes. During the summer
horses are liable to take into the stomach
parasites which change into different
kinds Of worms. These must be expelled
or the horse will not thrive during the
winter, and il is necessary 10 keep young
horses growing all the time.
The Houdan and white Plymouth rocks
make good cross for excellent layers
and table poultry. Where there is de-
mand for cross-breeds this cross will be
found good one, and few pens of such
fowls will be useful and profitable.
Usually the demand for market chickens
exceeds the supply, and few farmers or
breeders care to place their surplus of
high-class stock in the market at market
rates.
Feeding like any other investment Of
money, should pay the proper interests
on the capital used. If the animal fed
cannot pay back fair interest on the
cost OF food, both should be applied to
more remuuerative uses--the capital

THE POLICY FOR AMERICA.

Major Mckinley, more than any
other man in America perhaps, enjoys
the confidence and admiration of the
people. He has risen from the ranks
of toilers by his industry, honesty and
ability. Heis an earnest, sincere man;
there is none of the demagogue i'm his
makeup. He is a thorough American
and devoted to all her institutions.
Hence, what he says has weight among
patriotic, thinking men. In his great
speech at Beatrice, Nebraska recently,
he closed with the following eloquent
words:
Tried by any test, measured by any
standard, we lead all the rest of the world.
Protection has vindicat-d itself. 1t can
not be helped by eulogy or hurt by defa-
nation. 1t has worked out it's own dem
o~nstration, and presents in the sight of the
whole world its matchless trophies. 1t
cannot be cried down by false names or in
iured by offensive epithets, nor can il any
longer suffer from falsehoods or the fore
bodings oil the prophet. IL has ~triumphed
over all it's traducers at home aud abroad.
IL has made the lives of the masses of our
countrymen sweeter and brighter, and has
entered the homes ofAmerica carrying com
Tort and cheer and courage. Ii gives a pre-
MUM to human energy and ~awakeng the
noblest aspirations in the brests OF men
Our own experience shows that IL is bes I
for our citizenship and our civilization. amt
opens up a higher an better destiny for
our people. The day of repentance will
come when we have made a change.
