The gravity sewer men were correct
when they stated to the board of pub
lie works that the cash in the city
treasury is getting low. One more such
week as last will result in the revenue
getting below the $4,000 mark. And
when this happens, the contractors
will be left in the cold, chilling con-
somme Of deficit 1t was the com
bined payrools and the heavy appro-
priation list which caused this con-
dition of affairs, and if the gravity
sewer men should happen to be for
tunate in securing what they ask in
the way of compensation for short
measurements. they will be compelled
to wait for the taxes to come in ere
they are paid for the regular work on
the sewer and the retained percentage.
while the various officials will take
warrants for short time.
The statement of the city treasurer
for the week ending will show where
the cash has gone to:

Alfalfa or Lucern.

Alfalfa has been grown with more or
less success in every state and territory
in the Union, from Maine to Washing
ton, and from California to Florida.
There is not a state from which the re-
port has not gone out that alfalfa will,
when properly treated, become one Of
the best fodder plants. 1t is the best hay
soiling crop in the west. In the south it
has been widely recommended as a very
valuable addition to the list of forage
grasses and clovers. In the middle and
eastern states it promises to become a
rival of the better known and more
widely grown red clover. The foregoing
is from the pen of Jared G. Smith, as
sistant agrostologist to the department
of agriculture. He also tells that the
western alfalfa grows taller than the
eastern luoern, and it withstands drought
and freezing better.

HATS AND HEApcEAR,

Grass hats are common in China and the
south sea islands.
Bear head helmets were common among
the American Indians at the beginning Of
this century.
When the crest of the liberty cap was
pointed forward, IL was designated a
Phrygian bonnet.
Ten kinds of caps are found on Greek
coins and monuments. The variation Of
style, however, was not so great as might
be supposed.
The ottoman turban is made by wind
ing lengths of muslin around a oonioal
cap, securely stitching the muslin in place
Mt every point.
A French "gossamer" hat has but one
thickness of muslin at the top and sides
and two on the brim. 1t weighs between
two and three ounces.
Furs are now cut from the skin by ma
chinery, special devices of wonderful inge-
nuity clipping the fur so close to the skin
as practically to shave the exterior Of the
hide
The fez or red cap universally worn by
the Turks is SO called because Il was first
made at Fezzan in the Sahara. The fes is
wooden or felt cap, red and without a
visor.
In many parts of Germany an eoonom-
ical person will buy a silk hat, paying %,
wear it year, return 1t, pay 81 and re-
oeive new hat, this process being kept up
indefinitely.
The earliest cap was probably composed
Of the skin of the head of an animal, worn
with the hair outside, nose and ears pro-
truding. This form of cap has been de-
pioted on many ancient monuments.
The pileus, head covering In use among
both Greeks and Romans, was q close 1T
| ting woolen cap worn under the helmet,
and, on the march, kept on the head,
while the helmet was removed and slung
to the girdle.
When first prepared, the "bodies" Of felt
hats are much larger than they should be;
they are reduced by sizing them with glue
and a curious method Of manipulation by
which their Dimensions ore reduced over
one-third.-St. louis Globe Democrat.

Shredded corn fodder could be kept in
stock, or, better still, i'll barns or sheds,
without danger Of molding if the stalks
were fairly cured and dried. This is the
experience Of many who have used corn
shredders, as The American Agricultur-
list has ascertained by actual inquiry.
"These machines are certainly the best
means yet devised for working up corn
stalks and fodder. We shall look for tests
at the experiment stations this winter
to determine whether an acre Of field
corn, allowed to ripen its ears and then
cut, cured and shredded, will yield
more meat, milk or butter when fed
with the grain than an equal crop cut up
at the bottom just as the corn is glazed
and made into silage. Our Judgment is
that nv enough difference will appear
10 warrant the extra labor of handling
the grown crop for silage. -

Chean Heddlnr nnd rorngc.

A Long Island correspondent Of The
New England Homestead tells that the
storms and high tides Of winter throw
upon the shores large quantities of
marsh hay aud soawecd mixed together,
and when the ground is frozen and 9TH
er work not pressing enough could be
hauled home TO last through the sum
mer. 1t makes as good a bedding and
better manure than straw. He says:
"Here on the south side Of Long Island
one can hire lot on the salt marshes
from the town for about 25 cents and
obtain an abundant supply Of salt hay
for the cutting and hauling. The farmer
can utilize it prodtably for feeding pur-
poses, and the manure heap can be
largely increased in size by liberal use
of it as bedding. This salt hay sells for
40 cents per 100 pounds, and many
farmers make a business Of cutting and
selling it at that price. There are thou
sands Of acres Of it, yielding nearly as
much as English hay, that are not cut
year after year.
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1895-11-08

The supply Of apple cider and vinegar
promises to be a large one
1t will do any farmer goDd to follow
his produce to market and see where it
goes, who sells it and how it is sold A
week in New York among the markets
will be an education to any farmer, says
the Rural New Yorker.
There is complaint of potatoes rot
ting in many localities.
There is quite a boom in sheep feed
ing, especially in Texas.
American Agriculturist advises that
farmers in Ohio, New York and other
northern states should try winter oats
only on a small scale at first, as many
in the colder sections who SOW winter
oats ON large area will no doubt be
disappointed.
A Rural New Yorker correspondent
has discovered that the petunia, planted
among potatoes, is a remedy for the po-

lower ones six inches apart, strung
tightly upon good posts set II rod apart
which will keep the sheep in and the
dogs out A few acres of tillable and
moving land should also he fenced in
ON which TO raise some grain and cut
some hay A rotation of corn, oats and
clover will give the best results and be
fuund the most profitable. Two horses
will do all the work necessary on such
a farm, and two cows supply the family
with milk, butter and cream. One man
can plant what few crops arc put in and
take care of the sheep, with an extra
man at harvest and at lambing time,
when some one should be with the ewes
night and day to give any needed as
sistancc.
The barns or sheds should be made
tight and dry, and warm if early winter
lambs are to be raised. A sheep will
stand much cold il the air is still, but a
draft and dampness are injurious to
them. Incluse the sheds on all sides and
put several windows in the south side
for light and warmth. Sheep like the
sunshine, and enjoy summing themselves
as much as do fowls. If possible, the
water should be conveyed to them in the
stables, where you can have it before
them all the time. On clear, fair days
the sheep may be let ont in the yards,
but during high winds and storms they
should always be kept housed.
Cover tllickly as much land as possible
with the manure in the winter and
plant it to corn. Plow as much more
and sow it to peas and oats and cut
what grass you can ON the meadows. If
you can spare it, plow under the oats
and peas before they ripen, and SOW to
hucLwheat; plow this under and SOW to
rye. If YOU must have the oats and peas
to feed, cut them at the proper time and
put in crop Of rye. Harvest the corn
and put it in the silo, if you have one !;
if not, cure and husll it and feed the
whole corn shelled, cutting and steam
ing the stalks for the sheep and other
stock. The next spring sow crop Of
oats on the corn stubble and seed heavily
with clover; pl0w under rye when it is
well M and plant corn. The winters
manure may be used partly on the land
for corn and partly ON piece of old
land to be planted TO oats and peas as in
the year previous, and the same rotation
followed.
This rotation will be under full head
way The third year. One piece will be
in clover. which viii yield two cuts, and
be followed with corn. A second piece
will he in oats seeded with clover, and
q third piece will be in corn, to be fol
| lowed by oats. All the manure should
be placed on the ground for corn, unless
some is wanted for the pastures or "A
| piece Of natural meadow. By this sys-
tenn of rotation all the tillable land can
be brought up to a fair state of produc-
| tiveness in three years. The pastures

especially when grain is fed. The ex-
