College Bulletin.

Bulletin No. As, issued by the farm
department of the State Experiment
station at the state agricultural college,
details the results Of the corn expert
ments conducted during 1898. These ex-
periments included tests of the results
of detasseling, trials of planting at va
rious distances, methods and frequency
of cultivation, tests of the comparative
value of butt, middle and tip kernels for
seed, and comparative tests of a long
list of varieties. Any one interested can
have copy of the bulletin by applying
to /. d. Graham, Manhattan.
Some of the experimental oats that
were sown before the cold wave in
March have had TO be reseeded, those
that we're sprouted having been killed
by the frost.
Twenty-four acres will be devoted to
an experiment with grasses this season.
A test will be made of mixture Of
twelve pounds Of orchard grass, ten
pounds of English bluegrass, and five
pounds of common red clover. These
will be put in with press drill, run
both ways over the field Seven acres
of alfalfa will be sown in the same man
ner using twenty pounds of seed to the
acre. Press drilling is considered the
proper method Of seeding now in this
region.
No corn will be planted on the college
farm for month possibly not SO
soon as that.
The experimental peach trees that
were laid down last fall and covered to
protect them from freezing are being
uncovered and promise fair crop, even
though not a live peach bud is to be

method Of laying down peach trees has
been tested by the horticultural depart
ment for several years with most graft
flying success, The trees are laid fiat on
the ground, secured by stakes and COW
cred with hay or straw.

SOME miscreants, who had gotten
into the Yellowstone Park, have
chased and exterminated the last of
the herd Of buffalo which had been
preserved within its precincts by the
United States Government at such
trouble and expense. Unless there
be some still left north Of our Cana
dian border, this interesting bovine
animal is now wholly extinct The
millions that populated our Western
prairies are gone. The white man
found the quadruped easier to kill
and eat than the Indian, and it has
disappeared even in advance of the
disappearance Of the red man. Here
and there some domesticated buffalo
are preserved, which may perpetuate

longer ina wild and natural condition,
but these are all of the bison Ameri-

To Destroy LIce on Cnttle.

A correspondent writes the Breed
ers Gazette that ordinary water limo
or cement busted over and rubbed
into the hair Of animals is a cheap,
cas- ly applied and safe remedy and
an absolutely sure preventive of lice.
This Is doubtless partly true. Lice
cannot thrive among hair that is
filled with lime dust but the dust
will not stay upon all parts of the
animal, particularly the sides Of the
neck and the under parts OF the body.
A bit of rubbing with kerosene or
other oil over these parts will be
needed to make thorough job of it.
And, by the way, ii is not necessary
to wait till water lime can be pro-
cured, which is not always readily
obtained, for any kind of fine dust,
sand or clay from the highway will
answer about as we'll. Lice cannot
live long in either dust or oily sur
roundings. But one application is
never enough. 1t should be repeated
frequently till the difficulty is re-
moved,

custom for the convention city to enter
tain the visiting Endeavorers, but last
year it was clearly shown that it was too
much to ask free entertainment for such
a crowd as yearly attended these con-
ventions. However the fact that the
young people will have to pay for their
keeping does not seem to lessen their
interest IN the coming gathering, for
the state committee reports that no less
than $500 delegates will be here to
listen to the excellent programme al

CURIoUsLY enough the first person
of consequence who expressed the
opinion that the Premier of England
ought to be a member of the House
Of Commons was the great Duke of
wellington. On the overthrow of
the Melbourne Ministry in lS41, act
ing on the advice Of the outgoing
Minister, the young Queen sent for
wellington and asked him to form a
Cabinet The Iron Duke declined
StR6 task, told the Queen that the
Premier should be member Of the
popular assembly, and advised her to
send for Sir Robert Peel. Peel was
then counted one of her enemies by
Victoria, She wept day over the
matter, then Peel was summoned and
became Premier. The precedent es-
tablished then of taking the Premier
from the House of Commons has been
frequently disregarded however, as
in the case of Lord John Russell,
Lord Aberdeen, Lord Derby, Lord
Salisbury, and also in the case of
Lord Beaconsaelds last administra-
tion.

PRESIDENT PEIXoTo is working
himself into an unnecessary perspira-
tion over the escape of Admiral da
Cana. He is acting loolishly. What
he should do is to grant the rebel
leader full pardon and invite him
back to Brazil, Nothing so destroys
the prestige Of a would-be revolu-
zionist as to strip him Of the halo of
martyrdom. Da CANA prescribed
and outlawed, proclaiming his woes
and the woes Of Brazil in Portugal
and throughout Europe generally, is
an object Of more or less interest,
and of more or less danger to the re.
public. Da Cana pardoned and pur-
suing the peaceful vocation of run
ming ferryboat at Rio de JanelrO,
for instance, is not a romantic sub
ject at all. He would be absolutely
innocuous. President Peixoto should
hunt up the case of the United States
and the late Jefferson Davis, and
when found make note of.

as hot as you can bear, This will
be more apt to cool them than any
cold application.
THERE is false economy which
costs more than it returns, such as

used prescriptions, the tacks taken
from the carpet or working days to
save or make that which can be
bought for few cents.
For pimples on the face battle it

warm water. At night use very warm
water on the face; then dry, and rub
in the pores an ointment made Of
flower of sulphur and lard.

sleeves on the wrong side and leave
them until the rest is DONE and then
turn and iron them.

ment as would ten years imprisou-

sort Of dollar-a-line slobber is not
likely, however, to cause Governor

and beat nearly to death feeble old

mixed up in similar affairs before,
and that his birth and early assOcla-

ing like brute and a BLACKBOARD
toward woman whom he professed
to love. No; "Biff" should remain in

with him. In that case 1t might be
well to electrocute him. But In any
event he ought not to be turned
loose on society again.

Early Plants.

However desirable it may be to Sc
cure early vegetables by setting out
those started in the hotbed or in the
living room of the house, the work Of
setting should not be attempted too
early in the season. 1t must be re-
membered that house or hotbcd-
grown plants are tender and not sus-
ceptible to such degree of cold as is
frequently experienced in the early
part Of the season 1t is therefore
safer to omit transplanting until the
weather is quite uniform in tempera-
ture. Potted plants may be hardened
by putting out Of doors and so sooner
prepared for transplantlng. Earli-
ness OF product is governed largely by
uninterrupted growth, the setting
should therefore be so attended to
as to prevent any shock to the
growth.

Grading Comb Honey.

yhe method of grading comb honey,
adopted by the last convention is,
perhaps, a good one, and may stand.
However, it amounts to nothing in
the transaction of business, and is of
no practical value, though, it gives
employment to theorists. l have no
use for the word "Fancy" in relation
to dark honey. The fact of comb
honey being dark excludes all
Clancy" l prefer to use its proper
names, such as White Clover, Alfalfa,
Eastwood, Mangrove, Sage, Golden
rod, Aster, Holly honey, etc These
and other distinct varieties sell &C
cording to their qualities. Others
are classed as dark honeys Buck
wheat belongs to the latter, Of course,
but being of distinct variety, it is
called "buckwheat honey" BY these
means it is possible to convince buyers
that the flavor and color of honey is
determined by it's source. Theresult
Of this is that customers do not doubt
the purity Of the article when a
strange flavor is discovered. Sugar
syrup tastes Enthusiastically like sugar
syrup honey for it has no other flavor.
Producers who ship honey extracted
or comb, should endeavor to prevent
leakage, for it is a loss to all con-
cerned and an injury to trade. Elk.

a descending stretch Of ground, or a
descending open ditch, from pasture
springs, which permits the Keeping
Of the water supply pure. The spring
should be completely enclosed and
rooted over, and the water conveyed
by pipe to tub or trough below, as
shown in the accompanying illpstra-

keep the water pure at all times, but
also to keep it cooler in sum mer and
warmer in winter if the spring is

The Brazilian revolution was one
Of the best conducted on sanitary

Surrender Is the outcome of Admiral
Benham's stand with regard to the
attempt Of Da Cana to institute a
blockade. Up to the time when the
American sailor denied the right OF
the insurgent to designate the UNI
loading place for two American mer-
chantmen there had been no inter-
ference with what was practically a
blockade. Hundreds of ships lay out
in the harbor unable to discharge
cargo. But when Benham notified
the rebel that he must not hinder
American ships all the merchant fleet
loosed and moved to the piers. The
episode marked the end of the re.
bellion, for Da Gama's only hope Of
success lay in his ability to destroy
commerce with Rio. His downfall
will be unregretted, for the opinion
is strong that lie was a disguised roy
alist working for the restoration of
the old empire.

Hints for SUGAR Makers.

AS a rule we believe sugar or.
chard inclining south and east will
produce the most sap, while those
with northwesterly slope produce
the best quality of sugar.
No sugar maker can afford to use
any but the best apparatus for boil
ing. The quicker the evaporation
the less the expense and the better
the quality DO not wait until your
buckets are full before gathering. /
think it good rule to gather often
and boil Immediately. Do not have
too much storage, for with a modern
evaporation and good dry wood man
should be able to boil nearly as fast
as team and two men can gather.
Always make your PLANS to have the
works well cleaned every Saturday,
even if it does require extra labor
Strain your sap through a flannel
strainer as it runs from the tub.
Skim often while boiling and reduce
to the required density before draw
ing from the evaporation Do moth
ing by guess. Test your syrup by an
accurate thermometer or hydrometer
2l9 degrees by the thermometer while
boiling and 80 degrees by hydrometer
will give you syrup Of II pounds net
to the gallon the standard syrup.
Strain through heavy flannel or felt
strainer and can at once while boil.

THE recent death Of John r. Ford
is a striking reminder that this coun-
try is not so far away, after all, from
the time when the curtain closed on
the great tragedies of the war. Ford
was a successful theatrical manager
at Baltimore and Washington pre-
vious to the war and while it was in
progress Since its close he has con-
tinued in the same business, and he
was a very wealthy man at the close
of his career, Many of the noted
actors Of the last forty or fifty years
acquired distinction under his man
agement, some beginning the prac-
tice of their profession under his d.
rection and tutorship. Among them
were John S. Clark, John T. Ray
mond, Stuart Robson, John w. AL
baugh, George @. Boniface, Robert
Emmett Graham, Oliver d. Byron,
G. B, Bishop, Mary Anderson, Mag
gle Mitchell, Minnie Palmer, and the
Chapman sisters. John Wilkes Booth
was member of his Baltimore com.
pany, and Edwin Forrest, w. j.
Florence, all the Booths, Joe Jeffer-
son, Macready, and other stars often
performed on his stage. He was the
owner of Ford's Theater in Washing
ton, where the assassination of Abra-
ham Lincoln occurred. The theater
never opened again as such. Ford
was arrested for completely in the
crime, but was soon discharged.

Aeeplng Pasture Springs Pure.

90 many of the sources of the
water supply of our pastures are con-
taminated by cattle wading in the
springs and dropping their excre-

spring is situated, into which all
loose material is washed by the rains
of summer Such contaminated
water supply is highly undesirable for
