When the farmer throws down corn
and feeds his hens literally he may Sc
cure but few eggs, as he is then feed
Ing for the market and not for eggs.
A fat hen will not lay, and is as unprof-
table as fat SOW for breeding What
the hens mostly need is heterogeneous
matter, for they can, If fed any grain
at all, easily provide the yolll, lime,
phosphoric acid, etc, but the large
amount Of albumen in an egg calls for
more heterogeneous food than Is usually
allowed. Some, improperly, ascribe
the failure to secure eggs to a lack Of
green food, While some kind Of bulky
food (such as clover hay chopped fine
and scalded, as well as cooked potatoes
and turnips) is excellent, yet the de-
sideratum is animal food, and If less
grain be fed, and more meat, either
raw or cooked, there will be more eggs.
MIX and curds are also suitable, but
meat is better than anything else. AS
a pound of meat daily will be sufficient
for dozen hens, and almost any kind
Of meat will do, the expense Is small
NATTER compared to the high prices OBJ
tanned for eggs in winter. 1t is not
necessary to feed grain more than once
q day. A morning meal of scalded,
chopped hay, with some kind Of animal
food and wheat at night, will give more
eggs, If the hen house is kept warm,
than any other method, and it will be
cheaper than feeding three times a day
on grain. A pan Of warm water in the
morning should always be allowed

The Possibilities of Sorghum.

The POSSIBILITIES OF sorghum
The sorghum crop is one that ought
to be more generally grown than it is.
The crushed canes, after all the sweet
ness that can be got out of them is ex.
tracted, make a good feed for stock
Joshua Daniel, Kansas farmer, this
past year made 1873 gallons of syrup
from sorghum grown on six square
rods, less than an acre. The sorghum
also produced forty-four bushels of
seed, worth so cents Il bushel The fod-
der, syrup and seed from this plat Of
land sold for $73.75, which is more
than most Eastern farmers get from an
acre of land. There are comparatively
few localities in the Eastern States
where machinery can be found to work
the sorghum into syrup. Such machin-
cry requires that a good many farmers
grow sorghum, so as to keep it employ
ed during the season.-EXchange

.Grnominr for the Cows.

Horses have more often been made
pets than cows have been. So far as
grooming goes the average COW gets
very little of it, except what she can do
herself by rubbing her shoulders and
neck against the sides of the stable in
which she is confined. Try curry
comb and brush on the COW as well as
on the horse. Unless the COW is very

New Varieties Of Potatoes.


The tubers will sometimes, though
rarely, sport and produce a different
variety from the one planted, giving
the impression that they will ink in
the hill" The only way to be certain
Of producing new varieties is to plant
the real seeds, those found in the fruit
or "ball," that succeeds the flowers at
the top of the vine. Each seed in ball
may produce distinct variety. That
wonderful seed ball which contained
the seed from which came the early
rose also produced several other vari-
etles, some of which were good enough
to be propagated, People have been
deferred from trying to raise potatoes
from the seed by the statements in the
books, copied from English writers,
that the tubers first obtained were very
small, and required several years Of
cultivation before their quality could
be ascertained. Mr.. Breese, who was
tho fortunate originator Of the early
rose, and has had much experience in
raising seedlings, informed us that he
treated the potato seeds just as he
did those of the tomato, sowing the
seeds in the same manner, and setting
out the plants at the same time. If
seeding did not at the end of the first
season show some tubers of an eataSle
size, he did not bother with it any far
ther. Some seedsmen offer potato
seeds, but unless it is known what va
riety produced them we should prefer
to wait and secure seed next fall from
known varieties, and thus be sure of
the pedigree Of the seedlings.

LIKELY ABANDON CERTIFICATES
Populist Opposition Will Probabl, XIII
Two Amendments

Populist Opposition Will Probabl, XIII
Two Amendments.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The friends
OF the amendment to the sundry civil bill,
providing for an issue Of $lOO,OOO,OOO
certificates of Indebtedness, have about
concluded that they will be unable to
get the bill through as long as the
amendment remains part of it. The
Populist senators have announced their
determination to defeat the passage of
the bill rather than allow the adoption
of the amendment. This they could of
course, accomplish at this late
day of the session. The friends
OF the measure have been in
consultation more OF less, and, while
they have leached 10 conclusion, some
OF them concede that it will probably be
necessary to abandon the amendment.
AS a rule the senator's who oppose the
certificate amendment, favor the amend
ment offered by Senator Mills, for the
repeal of all laws authoriz ng the issue
OF bonds, but it will be opposed by those
who favor the certitic ltes just as stub
bornly as the certificate amendment
will be opposed by the nti-bond men.

Of the fact that the legislature is in ses-
sion, but also because there is now need
of some concerted effort on the part
of the veterans themselves towards
bringing the national encampment
to st. Paul and the Northwest
during 1896. The foundations of the
work have already been laid by the va
rious commercial bodies here, and it
now needs only the direct influence of
the veterans themselves, who must go
into the next national encampment
with the determination Of fulfilling the
pledge that was made at the last one.

CONCERNING FRED DOUGLAS.

The death of Fred Douglas, the cele-
brated colored orator, calls to mind an
eventful night in the limited experience
of this writer.
In the winter Of 1912, was enroute
from New York to Chicago, reaching
Rochester in the evening. I had tele-
graphed ahead for a sleeper and before
retiring decided to run through the
coaches, hoping that I might find
some familiar face. l was unrewarded
but on turning around at the front end
OF the smoker, met the friendly gaze
of colored man whom I recognized,
from pictures had seen, as Fred Doug
las. Introducing myself, he made
room for me. and there we sat and talk
ed until Cleveland, Ohio, was reached
in time for an early breakfast. The
two dollars and half had paid for
berth was gone, but in its stead l have
ever since had the pleasant recollection
of nj ght delightfully."- spent. The
Negro-his opportunities, future, political
and social status--was our theme. Mr..
Douglas was then deeply interested in
the advancement of his race and was on
a lecture tour in their behalf. From
choice he had selected the smoker, al
though not user OF tobacco, fearing
that his presence in the other coaches
would intensity the hatred of some one
TO be aroused against his people. He
also, when possible: dined in the pri-
vacy OF his chambers, instead of going
to the public dining halls, for the same
reason. He was most remarkable
man, and possessed of wonderful abili-
ties, and had his been the skin of q
Caucasian, would have been accorded a
position in society that the darker
shade seemed to prohibit. In his death
our nation as we'll as his especial people
witness the passing of great man.
And, with many thousands who have
learned to admire him through personal
contact, say in all candor, "Peace to
his ashes.'' A. L. O'KAD.

kENT'S LAST CHANGE.
North Dakota Murderer's Case Before thA
Supreme Court,

Supreme Court.
FARGO, N. T., Feb. 27.-The entire
time Of days session Of the supreme
court was taken up by the attorney for
the defense in the famous Kent murder
case. He presented four points which
were argued at great length. He held
that the judge had erred in not calling
another judge to try the case, as the de-
fendant had filed all affidavit that the
court was prejudiced that the judge had
erred in admitting Attorney Nye of
Minneapolis i'll the case he not being
practicing attorney i'll this state; that
defendant was convicted on the testi-
mony of his alleged accomplice, Swi-
denski, whose testimony was uncorrob-
grated and should be inadmissable; that
the information filed by States Attor-
ney Voss was incorrectly drawn and
was therefore invalid. After the prose-
cution is heard an early decision is
anticipated. Kent was sentenced to
hang last Saturday, but stay was
granted pending the hearing for new
trial

The New York Sun is not particularly
attached to the income tax and gives
space to this bit Of sarcasm:

is not required evenings, but my en-
ployer and | do some work in book
keeping and making out bills for some
other parties then, for which receive
few hundred dollars My whole in
come does not require me to pay an
income lax. | am paying attention to
young lady with a view to marriage.
This young lady receives an income of
So. 600 year from property left her by
her deceased father. She, therefore,
has no income tax to pay but if we mar
ry both incomes are required to be
united and tax paid on the amount
over 81, 900. This law then makes it a
punishment to US if we should marry"
On these grounds marriage will GER
tainly prove failure and many hearts
will be wrung with grief.
