Mn..mring Meadows.

In reference to fertilizers for
meadows, a correspondent of an
Illinois farm journal says he knows
nothing better than good barnyard
manure for meadows, either clover
or timothy. He says: 1T is my
practice to begin the application Of
manure just as soon as the hay
crop is secured / apply through
ont the Fall and Winter. / think
best results come from that applied
in the Fall before the ground is
frozen. would not manure a
meadow heavily. | believe better
results come from light and even
application. 1t should be thor
oughly narrowed in the early
Spring, and if there is much coarse,
strawy manure it should be raked
up and drawn off. If the meadow
consists of timothy, alsike and red
clover, it may be sown before har-
rowing, Much of the seed will
terminate and grow and add ma
terially to the value of the meadow,
especially if it is to be kept down
two or more wears.

FOR THE FARMER.


The Washington or government
whitewash is made as follows:
Take half bushel of unslaked
lime, stake it with boiling water,
cover during the process to keep in
steam, strain the liquid through a
fine sieve or strainer, and add to it
peck Of salt, previously dissolved
in warm water, 3 pounds of ground
rice boiled to thin paste and
stirred in while hot, halfoa pound
Of Spanish whiting and ! pound
clean glue, previously dissolved by
soaking in cold water and then
hung over slow fire in small pot
hung in a larger one filled with
water. Add five gallons hot water
in the mixture, stir well and let
stand few days, covered from dirt.
1t should be applied hot, for which
purpose it can be kept in kettle
or portable furnace. The east end
Of the Presidents house in Wash
ington is embellished by this brill
liant whitewash. 1t is used by the
government to whitewash light
houses.
A pint of this whitewash mix
ture, if properly applied will cover
square yafd, and will be almost
as serviceable as paint for wood,
brick or stone, and is much cheaper
than the cheapest paint.
Coloring matter may be added as
desired. For cream color, add yell
low ochre. pearl or lead and lamp
or ivory black; fawn, add proper
tionately 4 pounds Of lumber to Of
Indian red and | pound common
lampblack; CON mon stone color,

One Of the many persons in Colum bus,
Ohio, who have been benefited by the use OF
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People is
Miss Jerusha Mckinney, OF 30 South Centre

Don't Excite . Fattenlnw steer.

Any cause which disturbs or ex-
cites a fattening steer has a per.
nicious influence; do not even keep
near him a man who shouts or is
rough, and a blow from stick may
stop a days profit. Feed regularly
and in the same rotation in the
stable for then there will be no
disappointments to annoy.

Among the Poultry.

BuckWheat IS nrSt-class egg
producer.
Geese and ducks should be full
feathered before killing.
If eggs are stored in a damp
place they will soon taste mnsty.
A rapid growth of bone, flesh and
feathers demands frequent feeding.
One hen that eats eggs will soon
spoil whole flock if allowed to run
at large.
Keeping fowls on a hard floor
will frequently cause swollen feet
and legs.
Late Matched turkeys can be Civ
en- a free range earlier than the
early Matched.
Dampness and lice are the great
demoralizers among all kinds of
young poultry.
When the hens stop laying a
change of food will often start them
to laying again.
At night before they 60 to roost
is good time to give the fowls q
little extra food.
Minorcas, Leghorns and black
Spanish chickens are especially val
uable for laying.
When there is no check in growth
the chickens will get over their
feathering easily.
The laying of unusually large
eggs is pretty good indication that
the hens are too fat.
The best plan is to train the
young poultry to roost in the poul-
try-house from the start.
If there are any hens to be sold
this Fall good time to sell them
is when they quit laying.
A little f1axseed meal in their
food will help the old fowls to pass
through their moult quickly.
If the hens are too fat, change
the grain ration and give a small
quantity of whole oats daily,
If young ducks are allowed ac-
cess to a pond too early they are
apt to have cramp in the legs.
The flesh of the guinea is dark,
but it has delicacy of flavor that
approaches that of wild game.
One of the best times to COM
mence feeding the fowls to fatten is
just before they are fully matured.
Early, well-developed pullets
make good Winter layers. Select
them out before sending the fowls
to market.
Wheat boiled until soft makes
one of the best feeds to give young
poultry. 1t is easy to prepare,
clean and healthy.
Give the hens all possible free
dom and there will be less trouble
with soft-shell eggs, as they will
secure the lime they need.
Ducks will thrive best and fatten
fastest on soft feed-one part corn
meal, one part bran and little |
meat is good fattening ration.

The hot dry weather we have at
this time, with the work they are
expected to do, makes it rather hard
on the teams, and they require good
treatment if they are kept in thrifty
condition.
A safe rule is to feed horse in
proportion to his size and the labor
he is expected to perform. A horse
that is kept hard at work steadily
every day requires more feed daily
than one that is idle Some horses
seem naturally to require more feed
than others aud for this reason their
condition must, to some extent, at
least, determine the quantity of food
given.
But it should be rememb ered that
good condition is not fat. A horse
that IS kept at hard work in Sum-
mer should not be fat. Such con-
dition is detrimental to his capacity
for WORK. What is wanted is hard
tough, elastic muscle, which may be
actively worked without firing the
horse and without exhaustion of the
vital forces. A horse that is we'll
fed, not overfed, can be kept at
steady work nearly every day in the
year without detriment. He should
have what he will eat up clean of
sound, wholesome, nutritious,
muscle-forming and bone-making
material. He should have plenty
of cool fresh water. He should
have comfortable quarters and be
groomed regularly.
1t will help in making the horses
comfortable if the harness and col
lars fit properly, if care is taken to
pull the collars away from their
shoulders when they are given a
little rest in the field and to have
them washed at noon and at night.
After they are cooled off at night
thsy will enjoy their nights rest
much better if thsy are carefully
groomed. No matter how we'll fed
horse may be, if care is not taken
in grooming and in making him
comfortable he will not be kept in
the best condition when at hard
daily work.
Harvest work is usually hard on
the teams as well as on the men, and
it will be good plan to allow them
a few DAVIS rest as soon as the har-
vest work is finished. Turn them
into a pasture and let them rest,
giving light feed of grain night
and morning, as it is rarely good
plan to make too radical change
of feed. A horse kept in good con-
dition will do more and better work
at less cost to the owner than an
ill-conditioned animal.

Agrlcnltural Education.

In former times every boy was
expected to learn a trade unless he
intended to be a farmer. Now it is
known that there is more to learn
at the trade of farming than at any
other occupation, owing to the many
details entering into the cultivation
of the farm. There are now dairy
schools where pupils are given
scientific knowledge of cattle, the
handling of milk, butter, cheese
making and feeding, and every
year hundreds of students leave
the agricultural colleges after hav-
ing taken courses in agriculture.
More discoveries have been made
in behalf of agriculture than me-
chanics, and the systems of farm
ing are being rapidly revolution
lied. Are you keeping up with
the pace?

AS a rule, if the hens become
broody and begin to sit in little
time after they have been broken
up, il is good sign that they are
too fat.

RoLD cATrLE THIEVES.

Cattle thieves have been operating in this county along the Tennessee river, but to what extent is not known. It is known, however that several. head of cattle are missing. The first known of the stealing was last Monday, when Mr. Sam l.. Young rode upon two men, a few hundred yards below the railroad bridge, who were attempting to lasso a nice beef. When asked by MT. Yourg what they were doing. they replied that they were only playing with the COW. Mr. Young's suspicious were aroused, how ever, and the next day, in the same place, he rode up on the same men and caught them in the act of catching another COW. When asked about their conduct, one of the men picked up \ shotgun, pointed it at Mir Young and told him in plain terms what they thought of him.. MT. Young, of course, said very little. but got away as soon as possible. MT. Young got his shotgun and returned to where he had seen the men, but they were nowhere to be found, having gotten in their boat and skipped out. MT. Young did not know the men, but can identify them. The boat which MT. Young saw contained a complete set of butchers tools, and it was very evident that they killed and butchered the cattle wherever they caught them, and then took the meat off in the boat. If caught, these thieves should be severely dealt with.-Florenee Staudard-Herald.

A NEW ROLLING MILL.

Several days ago the State Herald re- produced from the Philadelphia En- qurer a telegram stating that MT. John ston and associates. of -Hollidaysburg, Pa. had purchased the Midvale Rolling mill at Roanoke, Va, and would remove it to Pennsylvania or to Birmingham. MT. Johnston seems very much inclined to move the mill to this city. He was here several days ago and looked over the field carefully. He found everything favorable except in one particular, name ly, that the new steel mill would not make enough steel to go round. Our steel will be like republican pie-there went be enough for all But since then the Birmingham Rolling mill has decided to begin work a once on the second steel furnace, so that the prospect for plenty of steel has improved. MT. Johnston evidently thinks the prospect improved, for he returned to this city yesterday and will remain until the matter is set tied

HAWAII,

The Mobile Register attempts to main- tain Cleveland's position on the Hawaii an affair It thinks Queen Ll should be re-enthroned. That is impossible. Rev. olutions never go backward The admin straton of the queen was so corrupt that the American residents of Hawaii ovs rthrew it and established a .repub- lican government. This government has maintained itself four years. It is the government that must be recognized by form and naturally appeals for sympa- thy to this great republic. The influence of the United States will one day make the western hemisphere a great repub- lie bound together in bonds of union that will defy the assaults of the monarchs of the old world. It is no argument to say that the natives of Hawaii outnum- Der the English speaking citizens, and therefore should rule. the islauds. It is right not might, that governs The In- dians oIItnum bered our forefathers, but did not govern them. The policy of ter ritorial aggrandizement has been advo- eated by southern statesmen since the Declaration of Independence Louisiana was annexed under Jefferson, and the MexicanA-territory under Polk-in fact, every acquisition of new territory, except Alaska. ,lhas been made under southern presidents.
