itself to the dried, seedless stalks OF
winter, the luXuriant foliage of spring
or the highly nutritious seed pods of
summer The stalks preserve his
health, the green foliage fatteus him
and the seed pods invigorate and

alone. The ration should include grass

enough suitable quantity Of grain.
No horse that is lightly worked

Corrupt Police.

In the recent investigation of the
police Of New York City wltnes.
after witness gave evidence as To the
corruption that prevailed throughout
the force. Saloonkeepers, green
goods" men, the keepers of the vilest
resorts, all testified that they made
regular payments TO the police, and
in return were protected in carrying
on the most unlawful occupations.
Not only the patrolmen but the
Off ers also were implicated in these
offences. TO be sure the witnesses
were not men and women whose word
even whose oath, was good for much;
but when we remember the fact that
it would be their interest to deny
that they had been protected rather
than to peter false charges their
testimony becomes more credible.
Moreover so many persons told the
same story than it is almost impossi-
bic not to believe it.
No one needs TO be told how the
poli e force of New York is chosGn-
that the men are selected for politi-
cal reasons, by party bosses: and that
the object is not so much to secure
public order as to control the politics
Of the city.
But the purpose Of police force is
to see that the laws are oLcyed ana
respe ted. The force should be made
up OF good men. If any system Of
selecting them results in the choice
OF bad men, the system is bad. And
it is ten times as important tC keep
the force pure as it is TO secure the
financial right Of any person, or OF Il
hundred thousand persons TO a voice
in the election. You his Companion.

Of that State, ln other respects the

that lit pays quite as well, proper

the general farmer who does not real
izc that 'thoSe who carefully study
the source Of supply and make up
their orders early, and purchase con-
siderable quantities are able to get
better quotations than those who buy
at the busiest season of the year, IN

Inquiries as TO the advantages of
home mixing brought replies from
sixty farmers tifty-three Of whom
lind that it pays them well TO buy
raw materials and mix for themselves
But three farmers report any disad-

considerable loss from handling;
another that it is dlnicult to procure
the materials in small quantities at a
reasonable price, while third con-
siders it disadvantage to pay cash.

Sugar BeetL

The Nevada station has issued a
bulletin containing its final report ON
the suitability of the soil OF that
State for the growing of sugar beets.
This industry is exciting great attcn-
tion all over the world The Eng
fish farmers were the last in Europe
to interest themselves in the subject.
But they are now aroused, and say
that with proper government encour-
agement they could cultivate enough
beets to supply the country with
sugar, This would enable them to
give up raising grain to a considera-
BILE extent and would furnish work
10 the large number of laborerS now
out of employment 1t would also
enable them to retain the $40, 900, =
600 now sent out Of the country for
the purchase of sugar, mostly in
France and Germany.

The Eodder Shocks.

Corn cut off at the ground and

der will mold, and then the grain will
become heated and will quickly spoil.
This is little matter where only a
few shocks are lost but it is a great
loss when the shocks blown over are
many. Each large corn shock will
husk from half to a barrel of corn.
The fodder is also valuable. Corn,
owing to the shortage in the West,
will command better prices this win
ter, and clean, bright fodder is worth
SIS per ton; therefore, it is well
worth saving in the best possible
manner.
Feeding mouldy grain, or mouldy
fodder is dangerous; it is injurious
to the stock. If fed to mich COWS it
Injuries the quality of the milk. and
if the grain is fed to hogs it is apt
to produce disease. Horses Will not
eat mouldy corn. Fodder shocked

neither fodder nor grain will be dam

Polished MoIdboards.

A plOw that will not scour is a
veXation of spirit, and the fault
generally lies with the previous user,
who did not wipe off the moist soil,
or else left in the furrow, or with the
polished surface upwards TO catch the
rain. When stopping work, both at
noon and night, the pillow should be
taken out of the furrow, wiped bright
with a bunch OF grass and turned
over on the edge OF the share with
the Landslide up, to prevent injury to
stray stock and to keep the mold
Eoard dry When the pillow is to
stand unused for a time, it is well to
coat the polished surface with castor
oil to prevent rust.
