The runners are preferably made of
hard wood sawed 2 by 10 inches; the
outside ones 2H feet long on top and
the two middle ones feet long. For
my use they are fixed 3H feet apart.
The transverse strips which secure
them may be of w by pinch stuff. eN-

that for the neck-yoke spud. A deep
slot should be cut in rear end of tongue
where attached and u shallow one in

height for neck-yoke on team, so that
the runners may stand level, thereby
preventing unnatural wear on rear end
of runners by being tilted up in front.
The bonrds marked are by and

NATIVE PASTURES.
After Having Been Grnxed Cl0sely
They should BE Manure

After Having Been Grnxed Closely
They should BE Manared.
There is quite a diversity of opinion
among farmers and stock raisers on the
question of manuring native pasture
lands. Some have obtained excellent
results by manuring, while others
seem to have had quite the opposite ex.
perience.
The soil OF the western prairies is
very rich and under ordinary circum-
stances will give fair returns without
the application Of fertilizers of any
kind. Nevertheless, 1t is certain that
better returns may be had II more nvhiI-
able food is placed within reach of the
grasses. Anyone who has observed a
piece of grass land SO situated as to re-
ceive the wash from barnyard, will
have found that near the yard where the
supply of fertilizer has been great the
grasses have become thinned out to a
few species. while where the supply has
been moderate the grasses are much
more evenly developed and the yield
decidedly plain. A too plenteous ap-
plication of fertilizer will thin out the
grasses and reduce the yield of forage
ut least for the first season or two, since
many species will not stand such treat
ment. On the other hand. a proper
amount of fertilizer viii increase the
yield. 1t is quite possible to use too
much fertilizer for any crop, and the
native grasses seem TO be more sensi-
tive in this respect than the ordinary
cultivated species.
Any pasture which has been grnzed
closely for some time will be benefited
by an application OF n thin top-dress-
ing of wcll-rotted stable manure, fol-
lowed by a. thorough narrowing. 1t
is doubtful If much is gained by putting
coarse unrotted manure on the pasture;
it can be used to better advantage on
cultivated land. ASHES usually have
beneficial effect upon grasses on soils
not too plentifully supplied with nlkaii.

SAVED FROM DROWNING.
The Heroism of Miller in Rescuing q
Little Girl.

Little Girl.
The brave work of miller in saving q
little girl from drowning is described
by the indianapolis Journal. The mill
owner and his wife, itappears, had gone
to the city, leaving an eight-year-old
girl at home. With other children she
went down to the mill to play, and by
some accident fell into the sluce which
feeds the turbine wheel.
The head miller heard n scream, and
not knowing what had happened, ap-
piled brake and stopped the machin-
cry. Then he ran out, found the little
girl just disappearing under the water
and in he went after her.
Then he found himself in hard
place. The water was eight feet deep,
and he was four feet below the top of
the sluice, the sides Of which were as
smooth as q polished floor. The girl
was unconscious. How was he to get
her out?
above water, and the other to keep him
self from sinking. He must try to
throw her out, and this, by great
effort, he did. But the rebound drove
him under water and against the wheel.
where he was i'll great danger of be-
ing caught and held. He came up
again, however, and now new diff
Guilty confronted him. How was he to
get out himself? He sank to the bot
tom, gave an upward spring, and as
he came up half-blinded, succeeded in
catching the top of the sluice Then,
by the greatest eXertions, he drew him
self out.
The girl was still unconscious, but by
vigorous measures was at last revived.

The state assembly made manifest
early an indisposltion to do anything to-
ward abolishing the railway pass as
gift to members and state officers. The
practical killing OF Halls bill thus early
10 the session was to be expected. The
legislature will not lop off a perqulsite
OF it's members so valuable as passes are
until satisfied public sentiment demands
it. And public sentiment is wholly IN
different. Whatever demand there is
against the continuance of the pass sys-
tenn is more qderulous than sincere and
In many cases is more the prompting of
envy than the suggestions of honesty.
The motive back of these demands must
be good one before the legislature is to
be condemned for failure to institute a
reform which is remuneration of what
has come 20 be regarded as valued priv
llege. There is not one man in thous-

refuse to accept railway pass, A de-
mand made by one tenth of one per cent.
of the voters of the state-and only those
who are honest in their re guest are de-
serving of heed-ls very feeble one and
does not impress the legislature with q
sense of duty from a sense Of fear.
IA attempt at abollshing passes which
has its incentive ID desire to pose as a
reformer, has too strong an odor of mere
professional ardor to interest the people.
Ostentation seldom has the momentum
of popular impulse and resolutions nice
ly worded never have the force of the
blunt candor Of honesty. The pass is
described as bride. 1t cannot fairly be
called such. In attacking it, railway
! companies are made to appear inImical
to the public good and the abolition of
the pass is urged because it may be a
means of hurting the enemy. As be-
tween the pass system aud the encour-
agement of that spirit constantly urging
retaliation for fancied wrongs. the pass
should be welcomed
But passes should be abolished by the
legislature from sense of duty to tie
people. No one will deny that sessions
of the Legislature are unnecessarily pro-
longed. because it is inexpensive for mem
bers to absent themselves from sessions.
More diligence would be shown If 1t was
not so easy to reach ones home. The
desire to visit ones family is natural and
commendable and when opportunity Of
ters sense of duty is not strong enough
to prevent improving it. The pass
Is an element of large expense to the
state. This is true with reference to
passes issued to state officers and other
officials. When expense is eliminated
from travel, journeys of pleasure will
be taken and duties will be neglected or
additional employees will be engaged to
do what otherwise would be neglected.
The pass system is tax on every person
who travels and who pays for his trans
portatEon. He pays more because others
pay none. There is loss to the railway
company IN carrying dead lead and the
loss must be made good from the pockets
OF some one.
