lumbus.
Among the exhibits at the World.
Fair will be two swords from Spain, "a,
OF which belonged to Isabella. Co;um bus
patron, and the other to Oortez, the con.
queror of Mexico.
Emperor William has at last consented
to let German military band visit Chi.
cago during the Worlds Fair. The beat
men will be selected for the purpose
from the bands of different regiments.
BY request OF the Worlds Fair Com
mission the Willapa Harbor Tannin Ex-
tract Works will prepare an exhibit OF
Washington hemlock or, IA it is now
called, Alaska pine. The exhibit will
consist OF a cird of bark, the hemlock
extract and leather tanned with it, hem.
lock lumber, flooring and cross sections
also photographs OF the works. showing
the process OF manufacture of the ex.
tract.
The Emperor of Germany has con-
sented to send to the Worlds Fair what
will be one OF the most remarkable and
attractive features TO be seen at Chicago
next AR. 1t will consist of collection
OF presents received by his grandfather,
the Emperor William; his father, the
Emperor Frederick, and himself from
their fellow sovereigns in Europe, as
well as from the people of Germany,
The collection will be intrustsd to the
care OF the Latin American department,
but the conditions under which it will be-
exhibited have not been announced. The
presents consist OF jewels and other per.
sonal ornaments, silver plate, decora-
tions and an infinite variety of other ar
ticles. The collection is worth millions
Of dollars.
There is great demand for space in ths
mining building at the Worlds Fair, and
most OF the States awarded space are
fast complet ng their arrangements ion
an exhibit. California, however, ia the
one State which is showing decidedly
tagging spirit, though it was ASST ned
one OF the most desrah p,rts OF the
mines and mining buili'ns, in the mair,
aisle and directly opposite the Mexican
display. The California Worlds Fair
Board has not yet accepted this space.
Moreover, in recent letter to the
Worlds Fair management the Secretary
OF the California Association said they
were not yet in a position to state
whether they desired the space allotted
them or not. Every inch of the space
in the mining building is wanted, and
several States. who do not know whether
they want to place an exhibit in the
building or not, are clamoring for in
creased allotment. The Worlds Fair
management is considerably wrought up
over the lassitude shown by the Califor-
MIA Commission, and is anxionsly await
ing reply one way or the other,

THE FARM And GARDEN
HOUSEKEEPING Experiments MAJ.
at the Utah Station
CONDUCTED BY THE DIRECTOR
No Disadvantages in Feeding the 4 /,
and Grain Separately, but al
Actual Gain-Htc,

Few persons realize the vast
OF valuable literature that is bejnc fun; s.st!!
annually from the numerous al rer s.suea
stations scattered over our coun,rv, o.
do not mean valuable in a literary ssn -
but from a purely utilitarian point !,
view. The various issues are not y =
course, OF equal value; but, taken :. y
whole, they are adding much to liz ~
Of practical knowledge in ali darn su.a
ments OF agriculture. fsss
One OF the recent station bullet;r. I.
sued by the Utah station has 4 - $780,. Y

OF feeding the hay whole or chi. -
The trial was conducted by the direct.
OF the station, and two lots Of hos s.u
were fed for nearly three months :.
lot with hay and grain rinssd, the othss
with hay and grain separate, Al II.

lots were exchanged and the trial I'M ~
tinued for three months longer. Ca
trary to the general impression II g.
found that not only was there no dissd
vantage in feeding the hay and ors;,
separately, but an actual gain. for ~
horses maintained their weight hettss
than when the two were rinsed. MI
result is ascr bed to the fact that IN IN
timothy hay when cut fine made ~
horses mouths sore with it's sharp end
and thus induced too rapid eating Of ia
grain.
The second experiment reported in tho
bu letin was with cut and uncut bav. Il
was made with two lots O. horses. a H..
fore, and the trial resulted decisiyelv 4
favor of the cut hay. The hay fed W.
clover, which, unlike cut timothy. docs
not present sharp points to irri'ate the
mouth. In the tour months and hall
during which the trial was continued
the feed being reserved as before 10 IN.
sure more accurate results, there was I
gain of l15 pounds in favor OF the cut
hay.
1t is desirable that more extended ~.
periments in this line should be made.
The idea has been very generally adopted
that the feeding Of hay and grain mixed
Is the most advantageous, and ii it d

William Camm in Beekeepers' Guide.
On account of the avidity with which
bees take salt suppose it is as neces-
sary to salt them as to salt my horses.
hogs and cattle. If one does not keep
salt trough for the bees, they are apt to
swarm about his stock as well as troughs,
and many are drowned; but go long as
salt water is given them they do not go
or bother anywhere else. But aside
from this question of mere convenience
have found it safest to be guided by
nature; and since bees show such love
for salt it would seem necessary Tor
them, and hence it should be our prac
tice to give it.
Where there are streams or ponds con-
venient bees, especially if not sailed,
will resort to these for water; but even
there are certain spots that seem to yield
mineral or brackish water, where they
go to suck. This shows their need o.
something more than ordinarily pure wa
ter, and since they leave all other water
ing places for salty one, we can fairy
conclude that it is best to give 1t.
