Large bowldQs are often allowed to
lie in the field for years Farm News
suggests some use for these powders,
Such boWldcrs form good foundations
for small outbuildings, being more per
manent than wooden blocks or pillars.
They are excellent also for placing at
the mouth Of tile drains, since they re-
tain the earth and prevent washing A
large bowlder drawn near the stable
door will be found very serviceable
when one mounts horse. The medium
sizes serve good purpose for paving.
There are many places on every farm
where a cobblestOne pavement will
serve an excellent purpose. Passways
for the stock, small yards and cutters
may be treated thus with great adyan-
tage The stones should be set on end
and fitted snugly together to prevent
displacement. The smallest sizes may
be used for foundations of walks and
drives.

Three kinds Of hay caps have been
tested at tie Hatch Mass. station. The
kinds tried were the Symmcs' paper
board cap, oiled cotton and cotton i'm
pregnated with tannin. The first was
not fastened in place, its weight and
construction rendering this less neces-
sary than for the other forms. 1t, how
ever, sometimes blew off in high winds.
The others were fastened ON by means Of
pins attached to cords at the corners.
Three trials We're made In every trial
the use Of the cap was very beneficial.
The paper cap excluded the rain most
perfectly, and the hay in each trial
came out i'll best condition. There was
not much difference in the condition Of
the hay under the other two kinds of
caps. AS the paper cap can be put on
fully twice as rapidly as the forms re-
quiring fastening, it appears to be most
useful Its weight is an objection, and
Of course we are not yet able to report
upon durability

There is nothing Ct greater impor-

himself gives an illustrated description
Of his final discovery Of the best posi-
bic way to brace a post. He writes
For an end to which it IS not meant
to hang a gate post the wires may well
pass through the post as at y and down
to the "deadman" A, which should be
a solid timber by and 3 feet long,
or round stick will answer as well.
This is an everlasting anchor and saves
all brace timber. There is no possible
improvement on this plan for anchoring

The chief use Of crimson clover in
New York, according to Country Gen
tleman, is as "catch crop"
''Sown before the last cultivation Of
the corn OF potatoes, it frequently pro-
duces Il growth Of two to six inches be-
fore winter, and il many places in the
state it withstands the rigors of the
winter. III other places it freezes out,
but this is not particularly objection
able, since, if it is sown early, it will
serve the purpose Of increasing the nj
trogen in the soil, and also serve as a
digoster Of mineral matter, as well as
to prevent degradation Of the soil dur
ing the winter Its roots improve the
physical condition Of the land, and the
plant food which the clover secures di-
rectly CT indirectly from the atmos-
phere, and all it digests, is so loosely
organized i'll the clover plants that the
fertility theg contain is quickly avail

IT may be true that enormous

Europe that would be sent to this coun-
try Tor investments if those capitalists
were assured of it's "resurn in ee good

very probable, however, when tie money

drawing on the United States for more
and more money that has for years been
invested here and are getting it back
in solid 2 Did. II looks as though there
we're as great scarcity of money in
Europe as elsewhere. But be that as it
may it is time thai the people of the
United States furnish sufficient money
for their own enterprises. The time
when this great people should cease to
be btor nation has about arrived;
great enterprises beyond our financial
power as q naticn have been wrought
out; great and long transoon tinentaI
lines of railroad have been buils and for
many years have been paying PROPOSE
sitions and the foreign capital in them
should be withdrawn; the future of
railroad building in the United States
can never be beyond two or three hun
dreds OF miles il line to close up some
gaps and make thus a great and new
line in conjunction with other roads; in
short railroad building in this country,
IS it has existed, b se come to an end

There are some great water wsyn to be

that remains for capital s the develop

come TO that business when once cap

money is rapidly; coming to close and

saFily baveito fnd new felds for its use
and in fsct9 has already found it in

ABOUT six men in the Senate will pre-
vent the adopting of Ssnator Morgan s
joint resolution inssructing the Preei-
dent to recognize Cuban belIigerenoy,
although ell the other senators, nine
tenths of the House, and an overwhel
ming mejority of the people of this
country favor its adoption. It is the
same old story. This handful of Sena-
tors have indicated their inteu sion to
talk all summer if necessary, to prevent
vote on Senator Morgan's resolution
and she other Senators know that the
Senate rules are such that it is only
question of physical endurance that will
stand in the way Of the threat being
carried cut. Consequently there is not
much probability that the resolution
will be seriously pushed. Some day the
Senate will probably have rules which
will enable the majority of it's members
and not determined obstinate minor
ity to, say what shall be done and to do
it. Untilithen, wise men will not expect
too much from the Senate.

BUCKY O'NEILL proposes to make
his way into Congress through some
sort of canal work. In the last issue OF
bis paper he informs the public thai
the Government has been building
canals for the ''shopkeepers," "eud thinks
IL might build canals for the farmers
Bucky has simply overlooked the pur-
pose of the canal building SO far done
under the auspices of the Federal Gov
eminent. Not foot of canal has been
| built by the Federal Government for
any private citizen or class OF private
citizens. Without exception the canals
built by the Fed eral Government are
measures of defense, or of water trans
portation in case of war. To be sure
these canals have been put to CONNER
cisl uses in times OF peace, but the
cause of their existence was not crigi
nally commercial proposition; no
class legislation was anticipated. How
ever it matters very little what interprs-
probation O'Neill puts on the construc-
tion of those waterways, OF what preju;
diees he may raise against the Federal
Government from his Interpretation of
their purpose, their use aud purposes is
for the benefit of the American people,
To be sure the Federal Government
might construct irrigation canals but
would it not be better that the states
within which lay the lands that need
irrigation constructs those canals? Cali
fornia and Colorado are two notable
examples of the state construction or
rather promotion of irrigation water
ways and both are successful because in
each case the people of the state are
interested in the development OF it's
territory; but how long Will it be before
the people Of the eastern hale of the |
Unibsd States, which needs no irriga-
tion, will agree to have the public funds |
for the development of Ari-
zona or New Mexico OF Utah OF Colo
rado or California? Never; SO long as
they have the power in Congress to pre-
vent it; and very naturally SO, unless it
can be made TO appear that the power
and wealth OF the east will be increased |
by the development of the west; and |
that is very difficult thing to do. 1t |
is very feiF to presume that before any I
important development of the irrigation
of the west is made by the
Federal Government several more gen
sratious viii! have gone by, and by that !
bime the states will have grown old in |
public irrigation enterprises. Ia snort |
the only practical development of irri-
cation must be by the states wherein
the arid lands lay; IL is by them only |
that the necessity, the advantages and /
she prosperity OF their citizens on ac-
,ount of such development is appreciate
