OF the first lesson given to the royal
children Mr. Hart says that when the
professor C5ir Richard Owen first ar
rived at Windsor castle he inquired
where he should hang up his diagrams,

white drawing room, the walls of which
were covered with white satin. The an
swer was that he was to do exactly as he
pleased. The gentleman in waiting was
therefore Of opinion that he should pin
the drawings upon the white satin hang
ings, but this the professor declined to
do. and thereupon requested to be led 10
the laundry Of the castle, TO the blank
amazement Of the official. When he ar
rived there he picked out the largest
clotheshorse he could find, and, having
procured some green baize, rigged up an
iTnpromptu stand. which showed off his
diagrams to the best advantage. Lon

known how many musty jokes about
"a Basket with a basket" had
been shot off at me, all wadded with
broad self-satisfied grin as though

of patience that was on your old

records that were legIbic us you

Agricultural Notes.


Nothing is better than a clover sod
for corn.
The better the drainage, every
thing else equal, the better the
crop.
It is just as important on the farm
to know when and how to do any
kind of work.
If a poor job is made plowing
the corn the first time the weeds are
nearly certain to get ahead.
Don't sign papers for strangers.
The country is full of sharpers, and
if they get your signature they will
give you trouble.
1t will pay farmers to confer with
each other in regard to farming.
Every farmer knows something that
would be of benefit to others.
Ashes are highly recommended
as a valuable top dressing for pas
lures. An exchange says that %
bushels of ashes per acre will pro-
duce good growth of feed for eight
or ten years.
At a recent Illinois farmers insti-
tute, several who spoke on the drain
age question agreed that $3.50 would
buy one car of tiling, that one car
would tile 40 acres of land that the
additional expense of crop raised
would pay the expense OF thing the
first year.

Sheen Notes.
From the American Sheep Breeder.


From the American Sheep Breeder.
Have plenty of help at lambing
time.
The loss on the great ranges are
from three to five per cent.
AS lambing time approaches keep
the ewes system loose and free;
feed clover hay, roots, wheat, bran,
etc.
An old sheep man advises plant
ing sugar beets for the sheep;
they are both warming and fatten-
ing.
Keep all dogs from the sheep
penned to fatten. Sheep never
cease to be disturbed even at the
approach of the shepherd dog.
A sheep likes to pick up portion
of their living in their own way ,snif-
fling about, in hooks and corners and
picking choice bits.
Constipation is the greatest bane
of a young lambs life; an effective
and safe remedy is an injection of
blood warm water given carefully
with bulb syringe.
The man who is s'ready to sell
out" every time he hears free wool
cry had better sell out his sheep
and stay out. He is disgrace to
the sheep breeding and wool grow
ing fraternities, and had better en-
gage in some other line Of business.
The talk we listen to from some
of these fellows, to use the par
lance of the day, makes US awfully
tired.

Because of many misrepresenta-
tions and misstatements relative to
Exposition management and affairs
being in circulation through the
press and otherwise. both in this
country and abroad, and in reply to
many letters of inquiry or complaint
touching the same matters, 1t seems
advisable that some official state
ment regarding them should be made
to the public. Therefore respect
fully ask that the widest publicity be
given to the following facts.
/. The Exposition will be opened
in readiness for visitors May /.
2. An abundance of drinking
water, the best supplied to any great
city in the world, will be provided
free to all. The report that charge
would be made for drinking water
probably arose from the fact that
hygeia water can also be had by
those who may desire it at one cent
a glass.
8. Ample provisions for seating
will be made without charge.
4. About 1900 toilet rooms and
closets will be located at convenient
points in the buildings and about
the grounds, and they will be abso-
lutely free to the public. This is as
large a number in proportion to the
estimated attendance as has ever
been provided in any exposition. In
addition to these there will also be
nearly an equal number oflavatories
and toilet rooms of a costly and
handsome character as exhibits, for
the use of which a charge of five
cents will be made.
5. The admission fee of 80 cents
will entitle the visitor to see and
enter all the Exposition buildings,
inspect the exhibits, and, in short,
to see anything within theExposition
grounds, except the Esqimau Vii
lage and the reproduction of the Col
orado cliff dwellings. For these as
well as for the special attractions on
Midway Plaisance a small fee will be
charged.
6. Imposition or extortion of any
description will not be tolerated.
Z. Free medical and emergency
hospital service is provided on the
grounds by the Exposition manage.

COLONEL DALTON CONFIDENT.
He Arrives at The capital With Papers
to Kefute His Enemies Charges.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April H.
Colonel Dalton of Rails county ar
rived here this afternoon and soon
after his arrival had a conference
with the Missouri Senators. He
brought with him full transcript of
the court proceedings in the Keokuk
and Northwestern Railroad case, his
connection with which his enemies
have raised up against him here.
Abstracts from this transcript have
been filed with the President and
Secretary of the Treasury heretofore
by some anonymous person. The
abstracts were misleading, and Co.
lionel Dalton's friends feel assured
that when the full transcript is re-
viewed by such good lawyers as
either MIR. Cleveland or Mr.. Carlisle
the prejudices now existing against
him will be removed. Colonel Dali
ton is now more anxious to find out
who his secret enemies are, who have
been filling the ears of the President
with malicious statements concern
ing him and filing anonymous doc
uments prejudieial to him, than to
capture the office that he covets.
Colonel Dalton, accompanied by the
Missouri Senators, will call upon the
President tomorrow and the Colo
mel himself will make q full statement
of the case. He has no fears as to
the result.
