Revision Of the Laws of Whist.

At the Sixth Congress of the
American Whist League, recently
held at Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn,
the President of the League, Mr..
Walter H. Barney, in pursuance of
a resolution passed by the Congress,
appointed Standing Committee on
Laws to suggest such revisions of
the code (for both straight and
duplicate whist) as their judgement
may dictate. This is a matter of
very great Importance to every
whist player in this country and to
every club belonging to the Ameri-
can Whist League. The committee,
therefore, invites every whist club
andevery individual whist player
who has any suggestion or recon-
mendation to offer on the subject,
kindly to forward the same without
hesitation at earliest convenience to
the chairman or any other member
of this committee.
The report of this committee will
be published in Whist at least two
months before the Seventh Congress
meets, so that every whist player in
the league can consider the pro.
posed changes and be ready to act
thereon when the Seventh Congress
convenes.

ness, scaliness, harshness or other
wise unhealthy condition of the
outer skin. 1t is exactly the same
with cows. There is no surer index
to the condition of the general
health of the animal than her skin.
The farmer wants as few cows to
care for as possible, and these want
to be milch cows, every one of them.
1t does not pay to mix things.
These must be fed as mich cows,
and not as beef cattle. If farmers
would always discriminate as close
ly in these matters as they should it
would be far better for them in the
end.
If breeding young stock for the
sbambles, make a specially OF one
or the other of the good breeds, and
let their owners keep up their breed
ing to that kind, pure and unkroken.
If the breeding COWS are kept as
nearly true as possible, they will
breed a truer and better beef form.
If the beef grower can make his
yearling steers weigh 800 pounds
they will bring him $25 or $50, or
they are worth keeping to feed our
20 cent corn to. There is no reason
why there should not be good
money in beef cattle, properly
raised.
Cellars and Easements are damp
and moldy solely because of the
lack of light and sunshine, and our
cattle need the same light and sun
shine and air as do human creatures;
it is but playing the part of wisdom
to provide all these for the cows,
especially to the cows which are the
providers of such large part of hu-
manity's food. Fix the stables and
make them light and pleasant.
| Whatever there may prove to be
in the tuberculosis scare, it should
result in measures which will be for
the comfort and health of the cattle
in many ways. Bad air and rank
smells do have their effect where
there is low vitality among the
cows, and make them susceptible to
other diseases. Have the stables
tidy, the air pure and the sunlight
abundant. Through large, clean
windows let the light come, puri-
fer and microbe killer.
Almost any trait can be bred in or
out of cattle. One of the valuable
characteristics in COWS is that their
milk yields butter quickly and east
ly; any herd can be built up with
this characteristic in view. Some
COWS show a lamentable tendency
the other way.
The amount of butter per cow for
the year is said to be greatest for the
COW which calves in September or
October, and she brings the added
advantage of producing the greatest
milk flow at a time of the year when
it is worth the most money. AS a
rule the farmer then has more time
to give to the details of butter max
ing and properly stored food is just
as cheap as summer provender.
Nothing freshens up the cows in
spring like a green taste of some.
thing, and hardly anything is SC
good for this purpose as few acres
of fall sOwn rye. If it is warm
enough let the COWS out early to pas
ture upon the green shoots; il
stabbed, the tender rye can be cut
and carried to their stalls. Give its
trial. The COWS will thank you fol
it in an increased flow of milk.

provement of the roads and wagons.
1t is not too soon to look the situa-
ton squarely in the face for next
season, whether you own few acres
or many. and lay your plans, Look
ahead. Let there be systematic
management, and faith in the soil
which you cultivate.
Do not count it too much trouble
to attend to the little demands upon
your time. If the weeds come up
with the grass in the spring, and
outgrow it, set the bar of the mower
high and run over the field.
Long rooted plants, as a rule,
should be followed by those which
spread their roots nearer the surface !:
plants cultivated for their seeds
should be followed by those grown
for their foliage. These different
plants call for different soil ingredi-
ents, and make less drain upon the
soil in general.
1t is contended that pruning pota-
toes to two or three stalks in the hill
has resulted in larger tubers and a
greater yield. This is done for the
same reason that we prune vines and
trees and pinch back melons and
tomatoes.
1t stands to reason that he is most
prosperous who gets most from a
given area. Then expenses do not
increase in proportion to the yield.
The added outlay comes when we 90
to increasing the area to get the in
creased yield desired.
Sow a plat of rye wherever and
whenever you have the opportunity
for there are not many things Sc
easily had which will come in mucI
better. Keep in mind the many
purposes for which a rye crop cal
be utilized.

1t is not wise to pasture too closely
Tops are protection in summer as
well as in winter. The mulching
which will save the roots during the
season of frost is worth more than
the late food which the late pastures
will afford.
1t is not all nonsense to call snow

Nasturtium plants, taken from cut

If fresh soil be now given to the

The demand for mules is chiefly
from the South. Good teams Of
young animals can be made to do
considerable work when one and a
half or two years old, just when they
will bring the best prices in ordinary
circumstances.
With good care mules can be
broken and worked easier than
horses, aud farmers will find it to
pay to keep two or three good mares,
breed them to jacks, and constantly
have teams which they can work or
readily sell.
If the old ewes be weeded out
from the flock and put in a field by
themselves where the pasture i
fairly good, and fed little bran and
grain, they can be fattened and ,sold
for dollar or two a head. The
shepherd who keeps such ewes with
the common flock and sells them al
a quarter apiece, or allows them t.
die of old age, is not a wise one.
1t is just as necessary to cultivate
the little intelligence of the do
nestle animals as it is to train thu
