ground is dry enough or SOW 1t with
spring grain and cover the same as the
grain IS covered. We have all learned
how to cover grain In the spring In
such a way that 1t will make catch.
The thing to learn now Is that the
same practice will insure a catch with
timothy and clover; but there Is later
possibility of it's being killed In mid
summer If there is a heavy crop OF
oats and 1t is very hot and dry when
the oats are cut. On this account IL
is safer to SOW on fall grain, as that Is
cut earlier. There are plenty OF far
mers who follow this method and
have never failed Of securing a good
stand, even in our drouthiest seasons.
Averaging Iowa experience shows thai
we should SOW on fall grain very early
in the spring, or SOW with spring grain
and cultivate it in as deep as the grain
Is covered.

method. No other way can beat 1t when
the conditions are just right. There

! this method will be perfect success
II the seeding is done exactly at that
time. but k may come =. the night
and by morning the weather be so that
seeding can not be done and If de-
layed IL may be failure The fourth
way is to mix the grass seed with the
other grain and SOW both together,
putting IL IN all at the same time and
at the same depth. This is for spring
seeding. In loose soil such as Is com
mon to Iowa this is safer than TO seed
after the grain is sown and subsequent
ly covering the grass seed lightly. II
II Is not mixed with the grain, but

Is the same as TO SOW both together. !
One or the other modification OF this |
same method is by far the preferred |
way when stand is to be secured and |
the ground also sown TO a spring crop |
OF grain. Seed with the grain or i'm /
mediately after, and cover the whole in
the same way. The fifth way is to SOW
the grass on ground in fall wheat or
rye and to harrow the ground after
wards. This is the way to do if the
season is too far advanced for depend
ing upon the action of frcsts to cover
the grass seed. Sow the grass as ear

enough to work well. and follow with
a harrow and cover it well. 1t may

Treatment of Frosted Combs.

When bird becomes frosted on the
comb (frozen comb, the remedy is to
keep it in some place where the wind
cannot reach it, says Farm and Fire
side. Fanciers protect such talI-comb
breeds as Leghorns by placing choice
specimens in barrel at night. having
a block of wood in a barrel for a roost
The first thing to do is to swab the
injured comb with glycerine. Tho
next day the comb should be anointed
with an ointment composed of equal
parts of ichthyol and lanoline. which
should be repeated every day. Healing
is slow process, and only relief from
pain can be afforded, as the comb NAV
slough off entirely. 1t is an advantage
to keep a fowl which has been frosted
and healed. as it will be less liable to
be injured the succeeding winter.

Fed Too Much Corn.

Visiting a poultry farm lately, says
Maine Farmer, number of hens were
seen squatting on the ground, unable
to walk. Naturally the owner asked:
What is the cause of the trouble p"
In seeking a solution, the question of
feed was raised, and the man stated
frankly: II feed on corn, because it is
so handy to use and so cheap in the
market" Here was the cause of all
his troubles. He was feeding a grain
not adapted to bone and muscle build
ing, and the little body could not stand
the strain. Rational feeding would
save from these annoyances.
Keep an account with the hens, and
you will think more of them, for you

Chinaman and Mclean Woman.

Last evening at the laundry of the
groom, on Market street, Wah Lee and
Mary Oliver were united in the holy
bonds of wedlock. The ceremony was
impressively performed by Squire
Gump in his characteristic manner in
the presence of a large number of un-
invited citizens. Daddy" Hilton
acted as best man and the brides face
and red hair gave her away. The
groom wore the regulation every day
costume of the native Chinaman, con-
sisting of a pair of overalls and shirt,
and was busy ironing when the site
ing-up" officer and friends arrived.
The bride has been employed in the
laundry for some time and was on
hands. AS soon as she announced her
self ready for the ordeal Wah Lee laid
down his iron and the two approached
Squire Gump and the Chinaman gave
him the "queue" to proceed, and as
there was no one present that knew
any reason why the ceremony should
not be performed, the twain were duly
made one. The groom returned to his
ironing and the bride to the wash tub
not allowing little thing like mar
riage to interfere with their labors
Now that China and America are united
the outcome is awaited with som,
anxiety.

Free Show and Free Fight.

The last entertainment of the season
was given at the Lake last Saturday
night and closed, unfortunately, in a
free fight, in which Alb Hilton received
slight knife wound at the hands of
party named Rifle, from Cash Hollow.
Several parties were knocked down and
one young man was chased around a
tree by man with knife that kept
running out of the handle until it look
ed to the advance guard like streak
of lightning and he was going so rapid
ly that he finally failed to make the
curve and went of at a tangent and
never stopped running until he reached
the city and landing in the arms of

DR.. Broyles, and when it started on the
return trip an effort was made to have
it stopped by sounding the fire whistle

joined in the fight when they learned
why the fire alarm was sounded. 1t is
reported that the ground between the
car line and the Lake the next morning
resembled so much that at the battle Of
Bull Run that Maj. Cantwell has been

Bradley Searching.

"Con" Brady, a drunken Irish ped
dler, was given a warm reception Mon
day about noon. He had been placed
in the city's safety deposit vault for a
slight irregularity in his carriage, and
while there awaiting the pleasure of
the authorities, the building caught
fire, presumably from his efforts, and
before help reached him he was badly
smoked and scared. When the door
was opened, however, he came forth,
phoenix like, and made a bee line for
the mountains in search Of pure atmos-
phere. The city was not willing for its
special guest to depart thus, and de-
spatched couriers post haste with in
structions to return with his person.
This was duly done and Mr.. Brady is
again in the hands of his friends.
1t is the general opinion that Brady
believed he could catch some of the
water used in extinguishing the fire
and thus add to his supply of fire
water.
