What to Do With Chaff.
farm and Fireside.

Chatf is a refuse, and on large wheat
farms it is used in horse-stalls, or dis
posed of in any possible manner.
There is nothing that will equal it on
the floor of the poultry house, as it
absorbs moisture from the droppings,
keeps the floor clean, and facilitates
the work of sweeping out the house.
1t should be used literally, however,
two or three inches deep being prefer
able to light supply. 1t is better
than sawdust, as the hens do not in
.jure themselves with it, as is often the
case with sawdust when they fill their
crops with it. Cut straw or leaves
may also be used with the chaff, the
combination Of the several materials
being better than any one of them
alone; but the chatf is better than any
other material, lift can be had, should
it be necessary to use only one sub
stance. A handful of millet seed, scat
tered in the chatf, will induce the hens
to begin work, and they will not care
to 60 outside if the floor i. kept con-
stantly Uttered.

look out for disease and lice. A foul

some member of the feathered family.
One that is draughty or open induces
roup, even in summer. To roost in

On a Walnut Hills electric car recently
there was a rather entertaining sight. The

a hairpin will stand up on end if you put
it on the floor of an electric car just over

The currency ques tion is not now and
has never been source of any danger
since the resumption of specie payments.
Under the very system which now exists
the country has enjoyed many years of
matchless prosperity. 1t cannot be said
by any man with reason that the possi-
bility of redeeming legal-tender notes in
gold is peril, when during all the years
after resumption of specie payments and
until the Democratic victory of 1892 there
was practically no redemption of notes
whatever. The danger sprang from the
threatened change of policy in other par
ticulars. The currency would have served
the country just as well for fifteen years
moreif no radical change had been threat
ened. What Congress ought to do is to
provide ample means for the redemption
Of notes without calling on syndicates of
bankers every three or four months to tap
the Treasury for their private benefit.

such an operation. Itis all the time with
in the power of Congress, by authorizing
popular loan at low rate of interest,
to provide aplple resources for the Treas
ury and for any redemption of notes
which the state of foreign exchanges may
bring about. The people of the country
believe in their national currency. 1t is
not too much to say that they infinitely
prefer it to any other. 1t is exceedingly
doubtful whether they can be induced
by any political device whatever, to per
NIT the retirement of that currency, OF
the substitution of any kind of money
which bankers may lend the people at d
rate Of interest determined by themselves
The green back, derided once by many
Republican fnanciers, has come to be tn,
one form of currency against which the
people have no prejudice. But there is nc
ecsssity for a change at this time by 4
Congress which the people have dismissed
to private life. Let it provide Tor popular
loan, and then stop all agitation Of the
money question.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 9.-Newspapers here
nounce that American cattle brought r
belgian ports will be subjected to prtN
hibition similar to that enforced againh-.
Canadian cattle. 1t is claimed that pleurt

This closes all the ports of continental
EUROPE against American cattle and beef
products and leaves to the American ex-
porter only the British market, which in
It's present condition is. not a desirable
one.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Officials of the
department Of agriculture said that they
were not surprised at the action of Bel
gium in excluding American cattle from
her ports. She is one of the countries
closely allied with Germany in her com
mercial interests and it was expected she
would follow the example of her more
powerful neighbor in this matter, as Den
mark has always done, and it is believed
Germany is bringing her influence to bear
upon adjoining nations to effect the COM
plete exclusion af American meats. While
this belief is not susceptible of proof it is
thought that its accuracy would be strill-

with which Europe would decide that our
meats are pure if congress should abolish
the sugar duties.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-The action by the
Belgian authorities not only shuts off all
access to the markets of that country, but
also to those of Switzerland and part of
Austria, to which meat was sent via Ant
werp. All of continental Europe is now
practically closed to live stock and dressed
beef from the United States. Three cities
in this country have been sending mill
ions of dollars worth of live stock and
dressed beef to Europe every year, and the
present embargo is a blow of almost in
calculable severity to the cattle raising in
dustry.
Inc three cities which have done the ex-
porting are Chicago, New York and Bal
timore. Trade has recently. grown to such
enormous proportions that IA Hamburg
firm recently completed five steamers for
the exclusive purpose of shipping live cat.
tie and dressed beef. Every week three or
four boats, each earring S25, 600 worth of
beef, has crossed the Atlantic for Antwerp
alone. The National Live Stock Exchange
has issued a letter to every stock exchange
in the west calling attention to the i'm
portance of prompt and vigorous action in
