fore more palatable. Hungarian and
other millets are ordinarily regarded as

fore more palatable. Hungarian and
other millets are ordinarily regarded as
hard to cure into hay. This, think.
Is more due to the season than the plant.
At the time OF cutting and curing millet
the days are shorter, the sun has less
force. and the ground Is usually more
dewy than In midsummer. when other
hay is made. In addition to these. millet
Is cut when greener than other crops
intended for hay, and II good, produces
more tons per acre, and for this reason
lies thicker on the ground. which only
adds to the complication of causes Tor us
being harder to cure than other grasses.
After cutting, If the weather is fair,
1t should be allawed to wilt for rev
hours, then use the tedder two or three
times. after which the partly cured hay
should be thrown into cock and allowed
to stand two or three days, then opened
out and well aired, after which 1t may
be hauled in and stored in the NOW.
Should the millet be allowed to dry on
the ground the leaves become hard and
more brittle than when 1t is sweat
cured. When we'll cured and housed,
millet makes a most excellent substitute
for hay, especially for cattle. Our cat
tie when fed on 1t for two months con-
tinuously, with no other rough feed ex-
cept silage, did as well, apparently. as II
they had been eating timothy nay or
corn fodder. For horses it makes good
feed and they are fond of IL, but II 1t
is allowed to ripen its seed, or even
mature 1t sufficiently so that 1t would
grow, horses as rule will not do so
well on it as they will on timothy hay,
TIVE indications are that the matured
millet contains diuretic principle that
causes too free action of the kidneys.
It does not act as quickly on some horses
as on others; In fact, we have horses
that seemingly subsist on millet from
month to month without being In the
least affected, but others in the same
stable, after eating millet two weeks
continuously, are frequently seen stand
ing in position attempting. to urinate for
five ar ten minutes at time.-Ohio Ex-

UNDERTAKINGS SERVICES.
A Custom Among the Poor That Has
Grown Constantly in Favor.

Chicago Record.)
From a rear room came the sound of
a woman's voice singing the words of
a hymn, tender and sweet, that has by
common consent been dedicated almost
exclusively to children.
There by his love o'ershadowed,
Sweetly my soul shall rest,
she sung for the last time. There was
few moments Of silence, then through
the halfsclosed doors low-spoken words,
evidently a prayer, were heard distinct
ly. Then some ones heart broke with
pitiful, tear-drowned wall.
In few seconds the door opened wide
and they came through into the main
office. The undertaker's assistant car
ried the coffin. 1t was small and white
and roughly made, and the pale-eyed
young man juggled 1t as though the baby
1t held was toy that was about to be-
knocked off at auction to the highest
bidder. A woman in cheap black followed
close behind, and another woman and a
tall. STOPPING man brought UP the rear.
The three mourners entered the carriage
waiting at the curbstone, the young man
pushed the coffin in after them, the driv-
err fourished his whip and the funeral
rites that marked the giving back Of the
little child to earth was ended.
The undertaken sat at his desk writing
serenely. The reporter who had lin
gered thoughtfully near the brass rail-
ing for the last ten minutes turned to-
ward him and asked:
do you have many such ceremonies
here?"
The undertaken looked up in a dazed,
wondering way.
MANY such-what?" he repeated.
MANY funerals" said the reporter.
"Oh, yes; lots of EN-" was the cheer
full response. 1.-THE fact Of the matter is."
he went on, showing an unwonted will
ingness to enter into conversation, "the
custom of holding some simple services
for the dead in an undertaker's estab-
lishment is constantly growing in favor
Up to five years ago such request from
the friends of departed person was a
rare thing. 1 hardly knew what to
make of it. had no place to accommo-

around and making room for them put
me to no end Of trouble. But at last the
demands for me to furnish not only the
burial paraphernalia but the ceremony
as well came so frequently that 1t became
necessary for me to make preparations
for such contingencies, and had q small
back room there fitted up and set apart
for special use on such occasions"

Charles D. Lane, of California, owner of one of the richest gold mines in the world, is an ardent supporter of Bryan and Sewall. Mir. Lane, in conversation with the editor of the MINER, the other day. predicted that Bryan will receive the largest popular vote ever given a presidential candidate in the his tory of the United States. He says the farmers throughout Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois are a unit for the great silver lead CT. In relating an incident that occurred in Kansas City a short time ago he shows how thoroughly the farmer is disgusted with the protection bugaboo. A farmer was unloading potatoes before a grocery store and he approached him and asked the price he was receiving for them. The farmer informed him that he had twenty-five bush els of potatoes on the wagon Tor which he was to receive two dol lars. He had planted the potatoes, plowed them twice, hood them once, and he and his two sons had, the day before, dug the twenty-five bushels and, with the aid of his daughter, they had been washed clean and made ready for market. He had that day driven from his farm, sixteen miles distant, with his cargo and was now to receive enough money for the lot to pur- chase pair of shoes for his young est child. And" said the long suffering farmer, they are talking of increasing the duty on leather so we will have to pay higher prices for the shoes" And this is the way it should strike every IT an who has think tank in his upper story.

The San Francisco Examiner is roasting the Call and Chronicle on their change of base from silver to gold and intimates in rather strong terms that Mark Hanna's poodle was the powerful influence that caused them to change their views in single night. Extracts from both papers are used to show how remarkable and complete the change has been. Before the meet ing of the national republican con vention no stronger supporters of the independent coinage Of silver could be found than the Call and Chronicle. Now the English lan- guage contains no invective suffi- ciently strong with which to de nounce it.

Mark Smith, the democratic nominee for congress, is now and always has been an earnest and consistent advocate of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. When in congress he secured the passage of an enabling act for Arizona through the lower house, despite a determined opposition. The bill was killed in the senate committee, although MT. Smith fought hard to have it passed by that body. The assertion made by the opposition press that Mark Smith has done nothing for the territory has been refuted so often that it is a waste of space to deny specifically these same old charges.

 The strike among the Leadville mines, which has been on for many months past was intensified by a terrific riot Sunday night, in which five men were killed and several wounded The Coronado mine was fired, together with the hoisting works and shaft house. Dynamite was used to complete the work of destruction. Two of the leaders of the riot were killed. The work was that of a few men who were goaded to desperation by the action of mine owners and is deeply re- gretted by the miners. The strike was inaugurated June 19.
