NO "JAnNING THROUGH"

Differences of opinion appear 10 exist at Al
bany as to the prospects for the passage or the
Greater New-York charter, the prevailing I'M
preston being that after reasonable discussion
of its provisions il will he acted upon favoraby
Meanwhile a question is likely 10 arise as TO
the reference Of the bill when II comes to the
Senate from the Commission on February 10
Senator Lexow, of the Greater New-lOrk III
vestigating Committee, being of the opinion that
the proper reference is TO his committee, while
Senator Ellsworths view Is that it should go
10 the Committee on Cities of which he Is chair
man. The difference of opinion would not be
material except as the views of the two Sen
ators according 10 reports. differ quite widely
as 10 the time that should be allowed for the
discussion. In Senator LexOw's Judgment, the
charter has already been sufficiently discussed
In the press and before the Commission. ana the
Legislature is so familiar with its provisions
that no public hearings are necessary. the
view Of Senator Ellsworth Is that public hear
ings should be granted and ample time and OPP
portunity allowed for thorough discussion and
examination of the instrument in all It's details.
The inference is that reference to the Lexow
Committee would mean determination to pass
the bill by the process known as tanning 1t
through" While the reference 10 the Cities Com
mittee would signify a disposition to proceed
with greater elaboration, giving more careful
consideration TO its details
II Is also said that many Republican memt
bers of the Legislature are beginning to think
with some seriousness upon the possible or prob
able consequences to the Republican party In
the State. the success of which they deem Of
considerable. If not of the highest importance,

not a cheering reflection that party success Is the
most important consideration operating upon
the minds of legislators in weighing the advan-
tages and disadvantages Of a measure Of this
sweeping and comprehensive character But 1t
is useless to blind our eyes to the actual facts.
If 1t shall appear to the majority Of the Legis-
lature that existing political conditions warrant
anything Ike a confident assurance that under
the terms Of the new charter Republican ascen.

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

A low. spreading tree is least affected
by the winds.
The kind of soil has much to do with
the quality of fruit.
Always remove dead or decaying wood
from growing trees.
1t is not too late yet to fiji vacant
places in the orchard.
A fast-growing tree is not apt to pro-
duce very much fruit.
All superf1uous branches are need
less drain upon the resources of the
tree.
Red clover is one of the best plants
for orchards, it keeps the ground loose
and enriches the soil.
Pruning is done for two reasons: To
make symmetrical, long-lived trees and
10 cause fruitfulness.
Got ice? Got ensilage? Why not ?
Ice is good all summer and ensilage sup
plements early spring pasture.
The most important thing in pear cul-
ture is good, well-drained soil. Train
the trees carefully while young.
If grape vines are expected to bear
well to good old age they must be in
diligently pruned from the first.
A fruit plant exposed to the sun and
wind will soon die. When received from
the nursery keep it cool and moist I'M
til set out again.
A well-grown, thrifty tree, well es-
tablished, may survive few years of
neglect, while younger tree would
soon die of such treatment.
When trees are badly infested with
bark lice, one of the best remedies is
to wash them with a strong solution of
tobacco, to which is added the same

FEEDING MILK COWS.
Liberal Rations Are Necessary to Sc
cure Satisfactory Results.

L1Oeral Nations Are necessary 10 Sc
cure Satisfactory Results.
The character of the feed determines
to a very considerable extent the guam
tity and quality of the milk and but
ter from good COW. An extra yield OF
butter will naturally follow the use
of richer ration, but this is not al
ways the case with common cow. So
there is something in the breed as well
as in the feed.
The dairyman who is seeking the best
results at the lowest cost should salts
fly himself as to what are the best kinds
of feed, considering the cost, that will
produce the most and the best milks.
Generally a combination of feeding
materials will give the best results, as
certain elements wanting in some food
will be supplied by others. SuccuIent
food increases the flow of milk, but does
not materially increase the proportion
of water in it. Still, feed often does
make a change in the dry substance OF
the milk.
make richer milk, and the relative
proportions of fat and casein are
changed to a very considerable extent
by a change in the ration. Another
point that is well settled is that GER
tain kinds of food viii produce changes
in the composition of milk not indi-
Gated by chemical analysis. Succulent
food is productive of the largest guam
tity of fat in the milk, and also has
the effect of causing the cream to sep
arate more readily from the milk and
the butter giobules from the cream
leaving less fat in the buttermilk.
For dry feed a combination of four
parts of wheat bran, two Of corHmeal
and one of linseed oil makes one OF
the best, especially during the winter
IF any change is made in summer il
would be from corn to ground oats
This. with good pasture. makes a com
plete ration for milch cow during the
summer. When the pasturage cannot
be supplied, some good soiling crop
that can be cut off and fed green may
take its place.
Liberal feeding is always necessary
with the dairy COW, as it is only the
surplus over and above what is reces-
sary to sustain life and thrift that is
used for milk. IF the cow is kept up to
her full capacity she must have all the
appetizing, milk-producing food she
will consume. 1t is only this kind OF
feeding that makes good profit in
dairying.-St- Louis Republic.

MUD. MONEY AND DUST.

people; they should speak and write
for the minds and the hearts of the peo-
pie. yea. and Tor their pockets as well;
they should write and speak distinctly,
braveiy. honestly, practically, in such
a way as to turn the attention of the
mEfions to the great question; in such
way as to set hundreds of thousands to
taking about good roads where thou
sands now are talking about them; in
such way as to- arouse enthusiasm,
bring about organization, lead to prac-
teal work, to the actual building o.
COCA roads.
That is what | am going to try TO do
Ia This article, not to shoot over the
heads of the people, but right into their
hearts. their minds, their pockets.
A gentleman who has had much expe-
rience in travelling over dusty as well as
muddy roads has figured on the cost OF
both dust and mud. Let him deal with
dust now. He estimates that the dam
ese to harness from dust is S. per
team, or S15.0O0,00O annually, and to
vehicles double that, or $50, 0O0, 900. His
estimate of damage to clothing is an
average of $40 to every man and woman
Obliged to encounter dust clouds and
storms, which means that the 1000. 900
OF people lose S70,000,000 each year
fIon flying dust. He expresses the be-
lief that thousands of people every year
receive injury to their eyes from the
same cause, requiring large outlay of
cash, not to mention suffering, incon-
yen;ence and loss of time.
These figures are well calculated to
cause thoughtful men and women to
stop and count the cost of bad roads in
other respects. A loss of s115,0O0.0OO
from one result of poor roads is worth
looking into.
For century the people have been
suffering from dusty roads certain
portions of the year. Probably not one
Ia $4,000 people from the birth of the
republic until now has ever stopped to
consider the question of damage from
dust, while all have groaned over its
Inconvenience and annoyance.
1t is easy to figure up the billions of
dollars that have been lost from that
one cause the past century. The aver
age good road affords but little dust.
Some one asks how shall we get good
roads? Begin by agitating. Agitate
in the home circle, in the everyday
walks of life, in public meetings. through
the press, in farm institutes, at county
and state fairs, in the debating societies,
anywhere, everywhere. and when p1b-
lie sentiment has reached the right
\
Agitate it practically; antagonize no
element; interest all elements; make
il plain that good roads are in the inter
est of ali from a money standpoint;
f,om the standpoint of comfort, con-
Tenience and economy.
Such agitation, on such a question, in
such an age ought to be easy. Go at it.
