grain is fed in trough consisting of
two boards joined together, as shown in
end view, one being six and the other
twelve inches in width and both of the
same length as the rack, The trough
is attached by hinges to the front of
the rack at point midway between A
and c and can be lowered for grain
feeding and fastened up out of the way
when the grain is eaten, as shown in
Fig. IL All lumber used should be
planed on one side at least and the
grain trough should be planed op both
sides. The hay rack of itself is good
one and gives good satisfaction used
alone, The grain-feeding attachment
is easily and cheaply made, occupies no
room when not in use and makes the
rack complete.-C +. Curtiss, Iowa

Green Ennd for EalI Feeding.

To have green food the entire season
though there must be something sown
for the late fall feeding that will en-
dure freezing. | have never grown a
more acceptable green crop for late
feeding than where winter rye and
spring barley were sown together the
last of August, bushel and half of
each to the acre, and the land well
mauured. The barley will attain a
height of two or more feet and be
headed out well, while the rye will
make a thick, leafy underground,
which, when mown late in October,
will make the very best of fodder and a
good deal of it. The rye, after cutting,
will make little more growth before
winter aud produce full crop of fod.

DURABLE SHEEP RACK.
Que That Has Been Successfully Used at
the Iowa Station.

Cue IDAt hhs Becn successfully USed AT
the Iowa Station.
The general appearance of the hoAk
and the market condition of the wool
is very largely controlled by the feed
rack. A sheep with "a torn or chaffy
fleece is always an unsightly object,
besides the loss resulting from a part
of the wool removed and the remainder
rendered more or less unstable. All
foreign matter in fleece must be hand
separated before it is fit for manufac-
turing, and no matter when or where
this is done it is always at the expense
of the producer.
herewith furnish description of a
rack that has been very satisfactorily
used at the Iowa experiment station
during the past winter The cut pre-
sented represents one of the racks in
use in the college barns. The sugges-
tion came from similar rack that the
writer saw in use on the farm of H. G.
Mcdowell, of Canton, O., last season.
The rack is eight feet long, eighteen
inches wide and thirty-eight inches
high. This size is found convenient
for small pens, but any size may be

Feed Plenty of Grit.

The feeding of oyster shells during
the laying season where they can be
cheaply obtained is recommended.
One pound will contain lime enough
for the shells of about seven dozens of
eggs. Fine gravel containing limestone
will probably as well supply the de-
ficiency of lime existing in most
foods, but the use of some sharper
grit with it may be of advantage. Long
or sharp spliuters of glass or dry bone
should be avoided. The size of particles
of grit had, for hens, better be i6rper
than that of a kernel of wheat and
should be smaller than that of kernel

A thrifty housekeeper, whose house
boasts of but few closets, has sur
mounted the difficulty by having sew
eral boxes made to slip under the beds.
These are made of the same size as the
bed ITSELF and are mounted on small
wheels sunk into the wood so that they
may run easily in and out. Although
necessarily shallow, they hold great
DEAL and their great advantage is that
garments may be laid in them at full
length. One of these boxes she has
lined with camphor wood so that
the winter furs are simply laid
in it and locked up. These
boxes should be carefully painted,
Imprinted or unvarnished wood should
never be left in bedroom, as the nat
ural wood harbors insects. White paint
looks the best, and the box should have
fresh coat once in awhile. There
should be some arrangements on both
sides OF the box to pull it in either di-
rection. A tin-lined box is also capi.
tai arrangement for the seashore. In
this may be stored away many delicate
garments; for this purpose there is
nothing nicer than box-sofa, ar
ranged as a window seat. Prettily
upholstered and with big cushions they
are very ornamental and most useful

HOT WEATHER STORIES. .
Som Champion Liars Relate Their Ex-
perlences.

There were several men on the train
coming eastward from the Salt Lake
region who told wonderful stories of
the heat.of the alkali plains. noticed
a contemptuous expression on the face
of an old settler who was listening as
if he didn't wholly believe all he had
heard, and finally he took turn in the
conversation. Said he:
Gentlemen, your talk is all child's
play Heat! | give you my word of
honor that when my wife wants to boil
eggs she just put them into pan of
cold water on the roof and in three
minutes by the clock, them eggs are
boiled"
There was silence for moment, then
a thin voice piped up,
where does she get the cold wnter?"
Before this sumner could be disposed
of, another man took hand in the con.
fab
"Me and my wife don't keer for billed
eggs-we prefer 'em baked. When my
wife sets the table for breakfast she
spreads out row of eggs on the win
der sill and in two jiffys they're baked
ready to eat. The only trouble is they're
likely to be done"
There was a spell of thinking; then a
long, lean man with caved-in chest
said, in whistling kind of voice:
That's why I'm leaving the coun-
try"
"On account of the heat?' I sug-
gested.

SENATOR cHiLT0HS SPEECH.

Our exchanges have GENE to US
with the unanimous and simultaneo GUS
acknowledgment Of the receipt of the
speech of Hon Horace Chiffon deliv.
cred at Cameron, Texas, July 4, 1891.
The News cannot acknowledge the
receipt of that speech for it didn't re.
ceive it, but THE NEWS read the
speech the day after it was delivered
and it was good article, full Of sound
Democratic doctrine. The late edi.
ton with which the state is flooded at
this time is intended for q campaign
document Of course, and is expected
to boost Mr.. Chiffon into the senate
for the next six years. While the
speech is a good speech,
1t is very poor cam.
paign document. If it had been
spoken in Iowa, Ohio, New York or
Massachusetts - campaign speeches
were needed at that time-its quality
as campaign document would have
been improved very materially. 1t
was in those states where the dem.
ocracy was engaged in life and
death struggle with the common enc.
my that the Hon. Roger Q, Mills
poured forth in speech after speech
that eloquence and logic chat stamps
him as the ablest, the bravest, and the
truest Democrat alive. Mr.. Chiffon at
that time was canvassing his own
state in the interest of his own candi-
dacy, and this speech that he is
now circulating, and which he has
had printed and bound in Washington
City, is one of the speeches made in
that canvas. That speech could not
have benefited anyone except Horace
Chiffon. If Mr.. Chiffon had even
made the speech in the senate in which
case he could have laid some claim to
public service it might have improved
it as campaign document. AS it is
nobody will get any benefit from that
speech except the Washinton printers
and binders.

THE REPUBLICAN, WAL.

Mr.. Mills upon his return to Wash
ington resigned the craftsmanship Of
the inter state and foreign commerce
committee, preferripg, he said, to act
simply as a member of that commit
tee The correspondents of Republi-
can papers at once began an assault
upon MIR. Mills for it, charging that
his course indicated that he is still in
dignant and resentful. His Demo
cratic enemies take up tho Republican
refrain and the onslaught is made
with loaded kilograms and
double loaded editorials and
if the solid front presented by the pro-
tectionists and spoilsmen did not
wear the Republican brand on their
rear, it might be expected to do the
Texan some injury. But Democrats
know who the Republican party breads
more than any other and they know
he is Texan and his name is Mills.
Mills will do his duty as member Of
congress and one of those duties is to
accept resignedly the position to
which Crisp's refusal to appoint him
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, relocated him: An ordinary
member on the floor of the house
This position Mr.. Mills will hold until
the people of Texas demand his ser.
vices in the senate. That will be
when the extra session convenes, if it
is called, if not, when the legislature
meets in January, 1898.

The Austin Evening News says:
The Gazette says the sentiments ex-
pressed by Mills in the Corsioana in
terview are not endorsed by ten per
cent of the people of Texas. Either
the Gazette is woefully ignorant of
public sentiment in Texas or wilfully
perverts the facts. Does the Gazette
remember the Waco meeting of Nc
Lehman county Democrats, which
unanimously endorsed Col, Mills?
This was pretty fair sample of
Texas opinion"

though whist and germans have occu.

pied the evening with pleasant party,
which, together with the meetings of
the various clubs and social organiza.
tions, completed the gay est week of
the season The week did not have
enough nights to supply the demand,
nor would the afternoons suffice, but
the sacred morning hours Lad to be
encroached upon-the hours dedicated
to household duties, and identifying
processes.
In point Of brilliancy, splendour,
elegance, njoyment, wit aud elo.
quence, the entertainment given to
Frederick Warde BY the Elks on last
Monday evening has never been
equalled in Waco. Through the pig.
gishness and obstinscy of the local
management, the Elks' theatre party
was abandoned, they being unable to
get seats in body, but this did not
mar the pleasure Of the re ,eption
which occurred at the Eiks' club room
after the performance that evening.
The Elks, with their wives and lady
friends went from the theatre to the
brilliantly lighted and decorated club
rooms IN Washinpton street where
Mr.. Warde and several member of his
company were soon escorted by com
mittee of Elks. The night was bitter
cold but the warm parlors filled with
beautiful! women made every one soon
forget that the mercury was hanging
around the edges of zero on the out
side. After short levee held in the
parlors, Mr. Warde, esoorting Mrs.
George Clark, was led iato the spacious
dining hall by Mr.. w. c. Watson and
seated at the centre of the long tables
arranged in the shape of an Z. The
other quests followed in couples aud
in few minutes and with no con-
fusion, every one was seated. The
completeness of the arrangement Of
the tables and their delicious loads of
light edibles and wines, fruits and
flowers, is due to the indefatigable
efforts and good taste of Mr.. and Mrs.
R NJ. Balm, Jr, and Mrs. George
Clark The arrangements made by
them were perfect in every detail.
