Under authority given by law
just enacted by the Michigan Legisla.
ture, the Common Council of he city
of Detroit has appointed three com
missioners with power to buy the
street railways of that city and man,
age them on municipal account. The
voters of Detroit several years ago,
when the question was submitted to
them, decided in favor of municipal
ownership OF the street railways. The
new law goes farther by providing for
municipal management as well as
ownership.

New Process of Photography,

To be in the swim one must have
ones photograph taken by the new
process, which gives raised surface
like bas relief. For the lover who
yearns to carry his sweetheart's pict-
ure always with him these new photos
may be reduced to fit into small
locket. The newest fad III these
locket or watch photos is to have a
small magnifying glass set into the
cover, which when opened releases
the glass by means of spring and en-
larges the portrait to most lifelike
appearance.

The heroes of the Spanish-Ameri-
eau var whose bodies now rest in Ar
lington Cemetery, Washington, came
from every section of the Union, and
each newly made grave is a pledge
and assurance of an indissoluble bond
OF national unity under the Stars
and Stripes. Those brave men who
gave their lives for their country in
Cuba and Porto Rico did not die in
vain.

Extinction of the Prairie-Chickcn.

To day the reign of the old-time
'chicken dog" is done in America,
and the day of the great brown grouse
is also done. One can see no future
for this, one of the most noble, though
easily the most helpless, of all our
game birds. To-day the centre of the
chicken country is no longer al

some of the lower tiers of counties of

than most persons would imagine.
There are some prairie.chickens left

grouse, these birds yet furnish sport

A story comes from Cutler, Me-, to
the effect that William Davis, lob
ster fisherman, recently had brief
ride on the back of a whale. Mr..
Davis was in a small boat, fixing his
lobster traps, near Libby Island, when
q great whales back loomed out of
the water only a few feet away from
the boat. The giant creature began
to spout and the spray from the col
umn of water blinded the fisherman.
In few seconds the boat had drifted
on the whales back, and before Davis
could make motion toward escape
the whale tapped its tail, nearly fill
ing the boat with water, and disap-
peared in the deep sea. Davis re-
ported that the whale was from sixty
to ninety feet long. 1t was the first
seen in the locality for several years.

In the first four weeks after ths
opening Of the electric railroad at
Cairo, Egypt, it is said that no less
than eighty persons were killed, and
since that time the weekly average
has been seven or eight This very
high rate Of casualties is supposed TO
be due in part to the imperfect sight
Of many natives in consequence of the

Feeding Bran with Cornmeal.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Where cut feed is fed to horses. n
mixture of corn and oats ground to-
gether makes the best meal to put on
the cut and moistened hay. If the
oats are not to be had, grind the corn
and mix the meal with twice its bulk
OF wheat bran. Cornmeal alone is too
heavy feed to put on cut hay, but
mixed with bran and the whole chewed
as cut hay is sure to be, the saliva
from the horses mouth will be mixed
with it and enable 1t to digest without
fermenting in the stomach. When we
fed corn and oatmeal on cut hay to
horses, we usually put in some bran
also, and think the hols ses liked it bet
ter, as the combination of the three
feeds gave the whole very appetiz-
ing flavor, especially as hot water was
used to moisten the hay.

Harrows and Rakes in Corn Culture

ing naVor, especially as hot water was
used to moisten the hay.
Harrows and Ralxes in Corn Culture.
AS soon as the corn is three or four
inches high, put on large smooth
ing harrow which covers three rows,
letting the team walk astride the mid
die row. After the narrowing is COM
pleted let the boys go over it and un-
cover any plants that may have been
pulled'down or covered with the har-
row. This work can be done by means
OF small hand rakes made as follows:
For the head take piece of board
lx1} inches. On one edge drive four
inch wire nails one inch apart. For o
handle use an old broom handle or a
rake handle cut to the proper length.
Cross harrow in about eight days,
if the corn is not too large, and un-
cover with rake as before. After
this discard the harrows and use one
horse cultivators for the remainder of
the season, going over the ground at
intervals of from eight to ten days,
according to the weather, whether
weeds are present or not This mode
of culture may seem cruel to some, al
dehorning cattle or severely pruning
an orchard. However, it has been
my plan for the last two years, and
my neighbors all admit that I have
one of tia best cornfields in our part
of the county,. Scarcely hill is miss
ing and the field is perfectly clean.
Some may want to know how the
corn escaped the fate of the weeds in
its early treatment. The weeds at this
stage are on the surface and single
stroke Of the harrow turns them out
and if not completely destroyed, the
second stroke eight days later will kill
them entirely, while the corn on the
contrary has been planted two or three
inches deep. The roots strike down,
and are so thoroughly set by the time
the plant is from three to five inches
high that very few hills will be dis
turbed by the harrow. The ground is
thoroughly stirred around the roots,
which is a benefit to the crop after
ward. On light, loamy land, care must
be taken to use light harrow.
For corn ground all strawy manure
or stable should be well plowed un-
der. If this has not not been done
the harrow will be clogged and the
cultivator interfered with later. The
more frequent the rainfall the more
frequent must be the cultivator, for
the crust must be broken as soon as
possible after the rain. A light har-
row on corn sown broadcast for feed
will prove beneficial. This harrow
ing should always be followed by the
raking so as to uncover the hills that
may have been disturbed, j. w.
Mckenzie, in New England Home
stead.
