Alfalfa is great for feeding and fat

After winter rest working horses
should be put to their labors gently at
first. Put them at some light task to
begin. One farmer begins by making
his work team harrow down the corn
stubble. He keeps them busy all day,
but does not enter upon really heavy
work with them for three or four days.
By that time their muscles will COM
mence to be little hardened, and they
will not be apt to become CALLED from

erations of Kentuckians and Virginians
have developed peculiar race Of beau
tful saddle horses. They are easier rid
ers than the fashionable rough, jolting
English horse. Those who ape every
thing British affect at present the rough
trotting, hard jolting foreign saddle
horse, but they are simply foolish. The
Kentucky or Virginia gentleman does
more riding in a month than the aver
age Englishman does in year and
knows what is what in saddle horse
breeding and training for Americans
better than any foreigner can possibly
know. Give us, therefore, the Kentucky
or Virginia saddle horse every time in
preference to all others.
Both the horses in the illustrations
are from Kentucky. The first is gated
saddle mare Emily, owned in Louis

Emily is a prize saddle horse winner
from both the Worlds fair and the
New York Madison Square Garden horse
show. She is one of the most graceful
creatures ever shown in a ring. With
such saddle horses it is hard to under
stand the craze for clumsy, bob tailed
jolters. Emily is registered mare of

the National Saddle Horse Breeders as

Soiling Crops.

Peas and oats are probably as good as
anything for this purpose, and you will
probably need from two to four acres.
These should be sown at four or moro
different times, four to five days apart.
After thoroughly preparing the ground
SOW first peas, some small variety, at
the rate of q bushels to the acre and
cover them with not less than inches
of soil. After these have sprouted, but
before they are in reach of harrow teeth,
SOW same quantity of oats. Commence
as soon as you can work the ground. Do
not allow any of this crop to ripen, but
such as you cannot feed out green make
into hay.
Prepare some corn ground and plant
evergreen sweet corn at intervals, same
as directed for oats and peas above
Plant in drills to 3 % feet apart, drop
ping seed to s inches apart in drills.
Keep the ground well stirred, but Guilt
vate shallow. We should suppose two
acres of this corn would suffice until the
ordinary field corn would be fit for USE
Millet also may be sown and used to
rood advantage. -Hoard's Dairyman.
Fattening Steers on Alfalfa.
w. Fl. Peck & Co. of Phenix, A. T.,
have shipped four carloads of alfalfa fed
cattle to the Kansas City market. The
entire lot averaged ,660 pounds, while
one carload averaged over 2, 900 pounds.
This shows that there is no longer any
doubt about the practicability of finish
ing steers ON alfalfa hay. When they
can be made to average ton head in
this way, it begins to look as if this
great forage plant would become rival
of corn and must in time supersede that
great beef making material in the irri-
gated portions of the far west at least

Canadian Authorities Haul Down the Stars
and Stripes.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-United States
Consul Willis, at st. Thomas, a Cana
dian town on the north side of Lake
Erie, yesterday reported TO the state
department by telegraph, through
United States Consul-General Riley at
Toronto, that the United States flag
flying over his consulate was hauled
down by Canadian authorities. He
asked for instructions. The consul
added that the matter had been brought
to the attention of the Dominion gov
eminent, and it had ordered an inves-
tigation to locate the responsibility of
the guilty person
Several officers of the. Queens Own
regiment were seen last night in refer
ence to the outrage. They all denied
knowing anything of the affair. One
of them said: If it be true, it is a GER
tainly most regrettable circumstance,
and can only be excused on the ground
that the perpetrators must have been
intoxicated
A private of the regiment who was
not reticent, and who was an eye-wit-
ness to the affair, said: Yes it is true.
The American flag was pulled down.
After supper about forty of the regi-
ment marched up the street, when one
espied the flag floating out in front of
drug store. Several went in and re-
monstrated with the proprietor
for showing the American
flag on the queens birthday
and asked or rather ordered
him to take it in. He refused to COM
ply with the request, and Immediately
some of them made dash for it and
tore it from its fastenings and left it
lying in the street. They, 1 am sure,
had no idea that it was the American
consuIs office though
The incident has caused quite 4 SEN
sation in military and other circles in

New YORK, May 26.-Fierce rats have
taken possession of section of Van
derbilt avenue, Morrisania. Embold-
ened by the strength of their numbers,
they attack persons who venture to in
trude in their domain after nightfall.
Mrs. Hamilton, of East One Hundred
and Seventy-second street, had an eX-
citing adventure il passing their sec
ton of the avenue the other night that
she will not soon forget. She was
chased considerable distance by an
army of long-tailed Norwegian ro-
dents, and a dozen rents in her gar
ments bear witness to their ferocity
and the sharpness of their teeth.

Sixty-first and One Hundred and Sixty
fifth streets. The contractors had
dumped many tons of ashes and offal
into the roadbed to bring it up to the
required level. The recent heavy rains
soaked through the dirt and the vapors
have attracted the vermin. Rats have
left their holes for many blocks around
10 feast on the refuse. They have
gnawed their way deep down into the
mass of rubbish. built nests and raised
their young. They scamper daringly
around by day, and impudently stare
at passers-by without running away.
They seem to know that they are
feared, and they show their wicked
teeth menacingly and twitch their lips
angrily when a man approaches.

THE WEEKS TRADE.
pun's Review Shows That Prices Are Still
Tending Downward.

Dun's Review Shows That Prices Are Still
Tending Downward.
New YORK, May 26.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review says:
Storms and floods, prolonged strikes and
large exports of gold have done their utmos,
this week to give business a vacation. But the
wants unsatisfied during the past year. belated
and much lessened, and yet greater than those
of any other nation, have caused volume OF
trade quite large for the season.
Prices of products still tend downward. with
out much speculation 1t is not surprising that
farmers retain wheat at present prices where
they can. Corn has been stronger, notwith-
standing large receipts and insignif-
cant exports Cotton has recovered q
shade, to * cents, though receipts
for the week were nearly as large as last year,
and exports much smaller. Pork products all
declined with heavy receipts, and coffee is also
lower. The astonishing cheapneSs of wheat
and cotton will affect the rapidity of move
ment in the fail, and also will directly lessen
the amount of money required in moving the
crops.
Failures diminish in Importance, the amount
of liabilities for the third week in May being
only S2204, 139 and for three weeks, 81 1886 ,972
OF which s., 6i2 .S67 were of manufacturing and
S5,025 COZ of trading concerns. The numbeS OF
failures reported this week is 1873 in the United
States, against 259 last year, and in Canada 2S
against IA last year There are not noted any
of much Importance.

SMALL DUTIES.
Obligations of the Minor Order That Should
BE Performed.

Obligations of the Minor Order That Should
BE Performed.
A distinct mark of good breeding
which young girls are apt to treat
rather lightly is what we may call the
small social obligation.
Every girl who has been well
brought up will of course perform her
important duties, be they social or
otherwise. She will call to see her
friend who has been in trouble. She
could not fail to answer promptly in
writing any written invitation, or to
return a first visit in due time, whether
the acquaintance offered her be ac-
ceptable or not, but there are a thou
sand and one slight occasions constant
ly arising which one, unless she is
quite punctilious in such matters, as
she should be, is apt to fail to recog-
nize as obligations.
There is no courtesy that may with
good taste be either accepted or de-
clined without polite acknowledge
ment. The receipt through the mails
of a newspaper addressed by friend,
and containing marked paragraph of
interest to either or both. should be
answered promptly by note, unless,
for instance. the recipient should hap
pen to have another paper or maya
zine holding some further notice of the
same subject. In that case the send
ing of this, with article marked, would
be graceful and sufficient acknowl-
edgment of the first.
Ordinary notes of regrets sent in
answer to formal invitations need, O.
course, no reply. being themselves
final answers. But when a friend de-
clines an invitation, assigning as reason
for SO doing that her little brother has
fallen and broken his cOllar-bone, or
that she herself has met with an acct
dent, an early note expressing regret
and interest-or a visit. if the degree
of intimacy justifies it's absolutely

Work of the Silver Meeting at Washington
No More Bonds Wanted.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-The Bimetal-
lie league yesterday considered the re-
port of the committee on resolutions.
As finally adopted they declare the
league is unalterably opposed to the
further issue of interest bearing bonds,
that before casting their votes for
congressman the members of the
league viii require assurances of
adherence to the free coinage of
1 ratio, and pledge that if
bill providing for such coinage is passed
by congress and vetoed by the presi-
dent, they will work for and vote to
pass the bill over the presidents veto;
that if the election of president is
thrown into the house they will vote
only for the person in favor of free
coinage; denounce the present system
of national banks as the monumental
monopoly of the nineteenth century.
They recommend the enactment of d
system of currency that will insure a
per capita circulation of $50, to be
made up by the free coinage of silver
ana gold at 10 to 1, and the issue of
treasury notes; assert the discontinue
aEce of the issuance of the silver money
and the repletion of the treasury by
bond issues is burdensome on the
masses; declare that it is the duty of
the secretary of the treasury to coin
the bullion now in the treasury and to
pay interest on the public debt with
silver, and demand the issue of $780,
0OO, 900 of non-interest-bearing notes of
small denominations.
A resolution was passed arraigning
congress for legislation which it was
alleged had burdened the people by
'benefiting the creditor class at the ex-
pense of the producing class, the issue
of interest-bearing bonds and demone-
tization of silver being especially de-
nounced.
Speech making was the order of the
day. Col. Fiske, of Denver, advocated
the building by the government of
railroads from Pittsburgh to San Fran
cisco, and later one to the south as a
means of assisting the people.
The convention adjourned sine die
after d brief session last evening.

REVOLUTION IN coREA.

Three Thousand Men Rise and Massacre
FOrty-One Ohicials-Many Arrests.
VANCOUVER, b. c., May 24.-ThrOugh
advices received by the steamship EN-
press, of India, it is learned that the
trouble that had been brooding in
Corea had taken definite shape and
Chinese soldiers were being poured
into the country.
The first outbreak occurred at the
Sing-la-Too, but it was premature
through the misunderstanding of ar
rangements of insurgent plans by the
persons at the head of the movement
at that point. 1t had been the inten-
ton to have uprisings all over the
country simultaneously and so par
alyze the officials and get complete
control before help could be secured.
Three thousand fully armed men
suddenly mustered and before the
guards could recover from their sur
prise the governors palace was in
their possession. No mercy was shown
and the governor and his forty officials
were put to death, the more detested
of them being horribly mutilated.
Before the troops could be gathered
the insurgents were on the march to
Zeeoul- To this point 600 Chinese sol
diers have been dispatched, but at the
date of the dispatch it was feared that,
fred by success, the rebels would over
come all opposition.

NAL on the part of Charles w.

show the truth of Mr.. Buttz' state
ment to Senator Kyle and to Mr.. Eppa

ers and capitalists here raised a sum of
money to be used for the purpose
of defeating the pending tariff bill
or that there was an agent of such
a syndicate in Washington or that
any money was in Washington for
that purpose. Buttz denies that he
made any such statement or that he
had any knowledge of the existence of
such a syndicate or that he was the
agent or representative of any one. He
further denies that he has any money
