FACTS FOR FARMERS.


THERE is more mineral water in
clover than in corn, but bran is rich in
minerals.
RYE will produce the first early
green food for the animals, but it must
be used with caution or it may cause
Scours.
Do NOT place your reliance on
one crop as it may meet an unfavora-
BILE season. A diversity of crops is the
surest method.
THE commercial ground meat is an
excellent food for laying hens. Hens
require. animal food when laying, and
they will also relish clover that has
been finely cut and scalded
THE poultry yard should have peach
trees planted in it this spring, not only
to afford shade to the fowls when the
trees are larger, but because the fowls
will greatly aid in protecting the young
trees from insects.
In warming the cream up to the
churning temperature it should be we'll
stirred before it is tested with the
thermometer, for cream conducts heat
very slowly, and while one part of it
might be just the right temperature
the rest might be too cold
If lime is to be supplied during the
spring the application should be made
as early as possible. 1t should be air
slaked, and in as fine condition as pos
sible. 1t benefits both light and heavy
soils, and from twenty to forty bushels
per acre may be used.
LINsEED meal or cotton seed meal,
added to the rations, may supply a de-
ficiency in the food. 1t is cheap and
may be safely used 1t is an old
maxim that all sums expended in lin
seed meal come back again in the
manure, and there is much truth in it.
THE Country Gentleman says an AL
bany county farmer placed on each
bale of hay shipped the information
that it was grown on gravelly loan and
was free from dust and chatf, with
name and address, and for this got one
dollar and fifty cents above the market
price.

The Baby Proves the Key That unlocks
Human Nature.


Human Nature.
There are some avocations in which
men succeed better than women, but
this does not hold true in the profess
sion of begging. Women make MORE
successful beggars than men because
they appeal more forcibly to the SYM
pathy of the public. What can be
more fetching than the sad, haggard
face of a supposed-to-be starving
woman holding in her arms a weak,
helpless, innocent baby!
Ay, the baby is the key that unlocks
the hearts and purses and SENDS the

beggar-man must, if he would become
a strong competitor for business, go to

or something equally as attractive.
Furthermore, he must placard himself

the public. The fact that he is blind or
crippled or deaf and dumb must be her.

printed efforts to awaken sympathy
would be almost amusing il the subjects
treated were not so painful. One OF
Chicago's hand-organ players displays
the following notice:

Touching Incident.

A horse be onging to grocer had
been severely injured. How severe and
how terrible his suffering must have
been was not fully known till devel-
oped by a post-mortem examination.
On the last morning OF the faithful
creatures life he heard the whistle
sound for seven o'clock. This was the
signal which usually brought his mas
ter to harness him into the delivery
wagon, to commence the work of the
day. Summoning all his remaining
strength he walked out, unbidden, and
placed himself between the shafts. In
a moment or two he dropped dead.

The Democratic National Convention
VIII BE Held There.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.--Chicago gets it.;
that Is the Democratic national conven
ton.
In this convention fight Chicago was a
dark horse. Everybody was afraid Of the
Windy City, and although everybody had
been assured that Chicago did not ask for
the prize, there was lurking suspicion
that she was not to be trusted, and might
spring small game ut some stage of the
proceedings. Outside of Chicago Milwau-
kee had the lead apparently up to the time
Of the committee meeting. How things
went later is given below. Promptly at
noon Chairman Brice called the committee
to order, and Commissioners Ross, Of the
District, made a short welcoming address,
to which Brice briefly replied.
At 2:40 p. m. the committee took recess
until 3:45. At that hour SullOway Of New
Hampshire, moved that June ~ be select
ell az the date of holding the next Demo
cratic convention. Wattcrson suggested
July 8. Gormsa supported June 81, and
Wattersou, stating that he was not par
ticularly welded TO any date, withdrew
his motion and June 81 was selected. Then
IN open session the hearing Of city boomers
was begun. The banquet hall was pla-
carded with the pictures of the principal
buildings in the various competing cities.
When on the fifteenth ballot ii was an
oounced that Chicago had twenty-seven
votes and the convention, the crowd in the
corridors were fairly struck dumb. That q
city v hich had not even asked for the con-
vention should he selected was ineXrlic-
able. The Milwaukee, St Paul and
Detroit delegations went OH the sidewalk
and cheered for Cleveland. Resolutions
thanking Hon. William Dickson, the resi-
lent member Of the committee and the
local reception committee for their excel
lent care and attention to the national
committee were adopted, aud at Has the
