thus described by the st. Louis Post

learn what the New York bankers and
their Wall-street allies don't want,

What can be done is shown in the
case of John Bouck, of Chatham, New
York, who collided head-on with a loco
motive under fun speed and came out
of it uninjured. Bouck, confused while
standing between the tracks, stepped
directly in front of an approaching ex-
press train. BY the first impact he was
thrown into, the air higher than the
engine and was caught upon the cow
catcher when he came down and
thrown beside the track fifty feet from
where he stood when he was first
struck. He was somewhat dazed for a
time, but had no broken bones and save
for few cuts and bruises he was soon
all right again. Mr.. Bouck viii prob
ably die from turning over in bed, or
something equally safe.

preparation complete? 1t is said to be
complete when the works are finished
and an actual use of the water has be-
gun or could be commenced. If the work
has been prosecuted with reasonable dill
igence, the rights of the appropriation,
relate back and date from the time the
work was commenced or, perhaps, from
the time Of giving notice. However, it
does not seem TO have been definitely
settled whether. in such a case, the rights
of the appropriation date from the time
work is actually begun on the ditch or
canal. or from the time the notice was
posted. Most of the cases seem to hold
that the rights of the appropriation do
not date from the time the notice was
posted. but from the time of commencing
work. This, it seems to me, in unjust and
ineduitable. Reason is the soul of law
how then can it be said that the law
requires the giving of notice as an es-
Sential step in order to effect a valid
appropriation of water, but at the same
time will deny the appropriation the right
to date his appropriation from the time
of taking the essential step? If posting
notice is a necessary link in the chain
of acts by which an absolute title is
acquired. it certainly seems that the
right to such title should date from the
time the notice was posted
If. however, the work is not prose-
cuted with reasonable diligence, then
the rights of the appropriation date from
the time the works are actually COM
pleted. This seems to be just and in ac-
cord with the policy of the irrigation

FROM GARDEN AND FIELD.

Children's Money Crops.-Children are
often on the watch for some crop they
can grow on a small plot of ground, and
thus earn little pocket money. They
would be willing enough to spend some
time, and take a great deal of pains
with a crop when they see little money
in it. even if this crop would hardly pay
or be thought worthy of much atten-
ton, for grown people. A writer Qady)
in Rural New-Yorker points to sage as
most promising childrens crop, and
with good reason. 1t is an easy crop to
grow. and the children have the time
to pick and cure it. There is a ready
market for it. and it brings a fair price.

UTAH AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE RE-
PORT.

We have received from the Agricul-
tural college of Utah, the biennial report
of the board of trustees to the legisla-
tive assembly, and the sixth annual re-
port of the experiment station.
The report gives an explicit statement
of the financial resources of the college,
and the relations of the national gov
eminent of the state of Utah to the in
stitution. The function of the land-grant
colleges is plainly set forth together
with a summary of the courses offered
and the methods of instruction pursued
at the college.
The book is beautifully illustrated
with half-tone engravings of the differ
ent buildings and rooms, and contains
reproductions of the pen drawings of the
students, showing the regular work of
the classroom The pamphlet is an ex-

FEEDING OATS TO cows.

In recent number of Stockman, there
is an editorial upon the subject of feed
ing oats that deserves close attention
from every feeder, especially those who
feed milk COWS. Milk is composed. of GER
tain elements, and COW can no more
give milk without these elements fed to
her than threshing machine can give
out grains of wheat unless wheat is fed
to it. A COW will OF course give milk
when fed exclusively upon corn but
when she does so it is at a loss, for to
get out of the corn enough of those
elements that produce milk she aas to
consume far more corn IMAM is neces-
sary if she were fed a better balanced
ration. Suppose d man wished to buy
ten baskets Of certain grade of fruit,
and there were two lots offered to him;
one of ten baskets Of the grade he de
sired and one of fifteen of a mixed
grade. out of which he could Gull ten bas-
kets of the grade he desired; If
baskets there would be five baskets that
he did not want This is just the case
with the cow when she is fed on corn;
she has to digest an extra lot of corn
to get enough milk-making elements,
while if she were fed on the oats there
would be little or no waste.
1t is true that portion of the ele-
ments needed by a cow is to be found
in corn, but it is true at the same time
that a greater part of these same ele-
ments are to be found in fodder, and
where fodder or ensilage is fed corn
should certinly not make up the grain
end of the ration
This is a subject to which we must
give more attention. 1t will not do to
feed our COWS what feed we happen to
have without regard to what purpose we
have in view in feeding. The experiment
has been made again and again. not
only by the stations, but by farmers.

keep a memorandum book and put
down the dates when you either pay

leaves and stalk. all of which can be util-
lied. The seeds are specially good as
seed for fowls, and then mixed with grain
they are relished by all farm animals.
Fifty bushels of seed to the acre is a
fair yield, and this will produce fifty
gallons of oil worth 81 a gallon. In China
valuable fiber, used in silk weaving, is
obtained from the stalks, and they are of
service as fuel and source of potash.
The Orientals mix their tobacco with
cured sunfower leaves and make a yell

in honey and wax. The sunfiower grows
riotously in the United States and stands

good rule in the use of buttor color is
to use less than half the amount called

Summed up, the problem of good but

tails and cleanliness, and the housewife
who has established a reputation for
making good butter will find a ready
market for her butter at prices much
in advance of the general market price
With painstaking care first of the cow

THREE GOOD BUSINESS HINTS.

Lloyd's Commercial Guide gives the
following advice to its readers:
Never sign a paper without reading
it; and if, after reading, you do not
understand it, have it thoroughly ex-
planned before you put a signature to
it. 1t is best to get some third person
who is not interested in the matter at
all, to explain the meaning of what is
not clear, or point out words that may
have two meanings in the document.

conclusions are that in majority of cases
it would be much better in the end if the
trees were cut off close to the ground and
sprouts encouraged from the tap root. The
sprouts that grow from around the body of
the tree will of necessity be weak and
liable to be blown off as it is impossible for
the new wood to form a union with
the old. We hope that Prof. Hubbard
will give us a full account of his work with
the borers as it would be of great service
to the orange growers of Florida.
