SaItiup the Hay,

Hay should be hauled in when free from dew; when hay rattles, it is fit to put into the barn. Clover and timothy hay should be cured in the cock; if left in the swath or windrow too long most all the juices are dried up, and the hay is little better than straw. When the hay is cured so that 1t feels light upon the fork and rattles in the handling, get it under cover as quick ly as possible. By adding one peck of salt to the ton, sprinkling it evenly over every layer of hay as it is put into the now, the hay will cure out very nicely, and when 1t is fed out, it will come out bright, green and fragrant. The salt not only helps to cure the hay, but it adds weight to it, so that whether the hay is sold or fed out on the farm, there is economy in salting it.
 Very weedy hay is much improved by salting it. Pings, rag-weed and weeds of like nature will make very good winter feed for mules, sheep and young stock, by cutting them before the stalk gets woody, curing quickly, and stacking at once, spreading one half bushel of coarse salt to the ton of hay.-The American.

One of the boasts made upon the ac- cession of the present cZar was that there would be greater religious free dom for the subjects of Russia. Ac- cording to information lately received, however, it would appear that, on the contrary, the established church IS go- ing to greater lengths than ever 1n It's prosecution of dissenters. With the aid of the government extreme meas ures are being resorted to to punish those who refuse to conform to the regulations of the State church. These are being carried on by the chief pro- curator of the holy synod, who has al- ready made himself notorious by his work against the diSsenterS. The lat ter are said to number from ten to twelve million, embracing many sectS and varieties of belief. The curious thing about the prosecutions is that they are being carried out against some persons who, owing to the absence of a formulated creed, try to strengthen the basis on which their faith is built by conforming themselves to the moral and practical demands nf ChriStin' 'n IUy. That Is certainly strange ground for prosecution, but the prOcurator finds it sufficient for the harassing of these people. It will only SOW deeper the seeds of the whirlwind which Rus sia is to reap.

The expected has happened and Kali ser William has written a play. The German Emperor was long overdue for something eccentric, and a survey of the field showed that when he finally l,roke out it would be in the histrionic line. There was nothing left. He had performed in music, made faces and ether unpleasant pictures, gone to catch whales (and caught Tartars), and done about everything else from failing to go in when 1t rained to bluff ing the other powers of Europe. Now it was time for him to rise up and shine again, and naturally he wrote a play. A description of the piece has been pub iished. but it is not material to the epi- sode beyond establishing the fact that the dramatic attack is acute. The play will be praised by the critics and possi- bly acted, and that will end the matter as far as the public is concerned. But William ought to sustain this latest freak longer than has been his custom with the others. He ought % inject a part for himself and go into the acting line for a season. He needs the train ing in detail. He has been appearing in various star parts in the European tAeaters of peace and war, but has failed to make a good impression chief iy because the audience has mistaken his heroics for farce-comedy. The play's s ihe thing. but William must be ill it.

The Hen House in Sum mer.

In hot weather lice breed very fast and unless they are killed off the hens and young chickens will be covered with lice and lice-eggs, which will pre- vent growth. A good method is to take 0n old iron pot, put few live coals in the bottom, and set the pot in the mid dle of the hen-house, close the doors and windows, and every large open ing; then pour one pound of sulphur over the coals; smoke the house for two hours; then ventilate it before al- lowing the hens to go in. It is best to smoke it in the morning. Strong to- bacco smoke will also kill the lice. Af- ter smoking, the house should be white washed; add one gill of carbolic acid to every two gallons of wash. If the wash is strained, it can be put on with the spray-pump. The chicken coOps are often filled with lice. Turn them upside down; give them good spray ing with crude petroleum, and then whitewash the GOODS inside and out The American.

A movement is on foot to secure par dOns for the notorious Younger broth CTS. who have been in prison for the last twenty-one years for cOmplicity in the robbery of the NOrthfield, Mjnn., bank and the murder of two men at that time. The Younger and James boys were the leaders of a desperate gang of bank robbers and murderers of that day at whose door many crimes have been laid, but to whom are at tributed by admirers many of those qualities which distinguish better men. Jesse James went to his bloody ac- count many years ago. His brother Frank is living life of comparative decency among a community where the James boys were regarded as deities. The YoungerS were captured and have since been in prison. The warden, who is said to favor their release, speaks of their having given twenty-one years of honest. manly and faithful service to the State" and a St. Paul newspaper professes to discover that there is ssomething fundamentally good and noble in men who preferred capture and probable death to deSerting wounded brother" It is asserted that during their incarceration they have been thoroughly reformed, and that no good can be had by their further inn prisonment. If this is really the case they might be liberated, but there is no use in becoming mawkish about the matter

Salary of Senators,

There is a common impression in this country that the salaries of the United States Senators are larger than those of the Representative. As a matter of fact the two classes are paid exact ly the same-$5,OC year each, with allowance for stationery and mileage. There was formerly a difference in the salaries, the Senators being paid a per diem for attendance, the amount being somewhat greater than that of the Representa- atives, but many years ago this difference was abolished. Cabinet Ministers receive $S,000 a year each. and this fact is probably responsible for the popular blunder, many persons supposing that a Senator is paid as much as a member of the Cabinet.

Machinery in Farm Work.

Farm work is now everywhere done with much less manual labor than used to be the fact before labor-Saving machinery was invented. One man will now do the labor of four or five. and will also generally do it better. Even if it were not so, the difficulty in securing sufficient help would make the machinery necessary. It is not certain either that the better care giv- en improved implements on small East ern farms does not make their use pay as we'll as it does on the large farms of the far West Almost all Eastern farmers house their farm implements when they are not in use. Even the grain is not put under shelter at the West, but is rushed from the field to elevators and stored there. The lack of buildings to shelter improved i'm plements at the West makes their working life much shorter than it ought to be.-Mirror and Farmer.

X genius in Rochester, N. Y, mas dis covered. or thinks he has. the cause of the hard times. He says it is bicycles. There are 30,000 bicycles in that city of 1S0,000 inhabitants. This wiseacre estimates their cost at S2,100,00U. and that the owners do not earn any more wages because they possess the wheels. and therefore concludes that the bulk of the owners economiZe in the matter of food, boots and shoes, clothing, slaves. drinks, street ear rides, liN err ies. and so on. That genius thinks that the wheel. which has afforded so much pleasure and brought rosy cheeks to heretofore pale faces in such large numbers. is destined to keep on main taining hard times. That genius will bring up in madhouse if he does not throw over that peculiar phase of the bicycle question. His friends should present him with q bicycle and set him to riding it. That will be the surest way to divert him from suicide or an insane asylum. What the world wants on the bicycle question is information that will lead to the extinction of the ScOrcher.

Reasons for Objectiug to Dehorning Catt1e-Care of the Henhouse in Sum- mer-Sa1ting the Hay-Use of Ma chinery in Farm Work.
A1aiust Dehorninp

c. A. M., in Breeders Gazette, gives, among seven very good reasons for ob- 1ection to dehorning, the following points: That dehorned cattle are more troublesome to keep, and wilder, and will gain from 100 to 15O pounds less under otherwise similar conditions than those with horns left on; all or which of the above points he can suD- stantiate by actual experiment.. The blood starts from the center (the hearO, branches out, similar to a tree, into little branches, surcharges every part of the body with nutriment, and carries the worn-out matter back, to be ex- pelled from the system through the lungs, pores, kidneys, liver and al1men- tary tract, the circulation merging so gradually through the capillaries as to be imperceptible where the arteries end and the veins begin. By mutilatng the circulating medium, the normal now of blood is interfered with, hampering the process of waste and repair. The forcible dehorning stops the ever com ing current of the blood to that mart UL Ine beast which has been severed, and keeps humping, humping, ever after, during the entire span of life. We may ask anyone that has had the misfortune of losing a limb, be 1t only Q toe or little finger, and they will tell that they are feeling the limb that has been taken off 'lo, these many years" that that feeling has entailed untold suffering, and for which there is but one end, and that is dissolution. To medical men it is well known that the seat of pain is in the brain, the main nerve center; to them it is known that pain lowers vitality, and lowered vital ity lessens the power to resist the in f1uence of the pathogenic bacilli. Be cause the dehorned COW eats, drinks and gives some milk, she appears to be in good health, to the superficial Ob- server; to him the imperceptible, grad ual deterioration is not noticed.

Good Corn Crops.

l think the corn crop one of the most profitable hoed crops on the farm, but it needs good cultivation. Our method of raising Is this: We blow our ground in the fall, green sward, and in the spring we cart on a good coat of barn yard manure. Then we spread, and give it thorough narrowing with a spring tooth harrow. Then we work it with q marker three and one-half feet one way and three feet the other, and use about three hundred pounds super phosphate to the acre in the hills. In this way we have never failed to make a good crop of corn, from 125 to 15O baskets to the acre. We follow the corn the next year with oats, and in this way we have not failed to get a good crop of grass.-Grange Visitor.
