Removine Burs from Wool.

To remove burs from the wool in
sheep, the better way is to remove
the burs from the pasture lot before
they mature sufficiently to adhere to
the wool. Once they are in, hard
task is on to displace them. There
are three ways whereby they can be
removed. One is to pick them out
with the fingers, holding the wool in
such n manner not to pull it direct
from the roots, and pull the wool di-
rect from the bur and allow it to
drop from the fleece. Another way is
to take pair of sheep shears and clip
the wool directly underneath them;
this, however, is wasteful. Another
method would be to take pair of
long pointed tongs and introduce
them between the sleeps body anil
the bur, grasp firmly, then with a
cord or long toothed currycomb rake
them out.-R. Logan, in Farm and
Home.

THE HORSES STOMACH.
II Is Small and That Is Why Hay and
Other Bulky Foods should lie
Fed Sparingly.

Where hay is plentiful, as it is on
most farms, the fact that the horse has
n small stomach seems to be forgotten.
Where on the contrary hay is scarce
and high as in the large cities the feed
ing OF hay is much better understood.
To allow any working horse to eat hay
ad libitum is positive cruelty in that 1t
is injurious to the horse, as this animal
is not provided with large storage APP
away of fodder by the hundred pounds.
This being the case great quantity of
hay consumed by working horse, say
at the noon hour, merely becomes bur-
den and eventually leads to indigestion.
Hay is not digested in the stomach
(Which in the horse holds but three and
n half gallons) but in the large in
testines TO which also most of the water
goes when imbibed, passing through
the stomach and of course washing out
part of the solid contents present in
that receptacle. On farms where peo.
pie rise very early hay may be fed with
advantage in small quantity if given
say at five a. m. and the oats ration at
six a. m, as time has been given for the
hay to pass into the intestines. There
| can, however, be no advantage in feed
| ing hay at noon as the working horse
cannot digest it but carries it around
| at work until evening comes, when II
can be taken care of by the digestive
apparatus. The proper title to allow a
full feed of hay is at eight o'clock at
night. two hours after the horse has
eaten his oats, and so far as hard
worked horses are concerned, and more
especially in the heated term of mid
summer, this is the only time hay
should be allowed. 1t is absurd and det-
rimental TO allow any horse TO stand
and hog" hay all day long, and worse
still if dozens of ears of corn are added
to the ration. Even an idle horse needs
but little hay-not over II pounds per
day where other good foods are given.
The horses stomach is small, as has
been said. and he needs and should
have concentrated food in small guam
titles at short intervals. We seldom
| find case of "heaves" appear in n city
| barn where horses are properly man
aged. 1t is peculiarly disease of the
! farm fed horse and il is due to contin-
ued overburdening of the stomach and
intestines with bulky, dry, coarse fod-
der and hay which are also too often
moldy or full of dust. Many of the
other ailments of the horse are also due
to the same cause, together with lack
of exercise and too much corn. Feed
sound food to the horse in small guam
titles often, prefer oats 10 corn for
hard work, always water before feed
ing. exercise amply every day of the
year and give the main feed of hay at
night and the farm horse will be
healthy and Farmers Review

Hoor of neighbours summer kitchen,
and as the floor was not tight got into
the habit of coming into the room
above. The farmer captured them by
use of the trap shown in the illustra-
ton.
a small-sized dry goods box, not so
large but it can be easily carried. is
fixed with trap door, which is attached
to a lever connected with a trigger in
such a manner that when sprung the
door will drop. The box can be carried
with its captive to n safe distance,
where the odor will not be disturbing,
and the prisoner shot or dispatched by
trusty dog.
The illustration shows the trap ready
set. The trap door, a, is attached to Il
lever, b, which rests on n fulcrum al c.
The other end of the lever is fastened to
the trigger, d. The trigger passes
through the top of the box, the notch,
+. catching on the edge of the hole in
the box, which should be large enough
to give plenty of play. The trigger
stick should be long enough to reach
within an inch of the bottom of the box,
where the bait, e, is fastened. \

makes the last act easy-that of dis
patching the entrapped animal. If the
box is carried carefully, there is no dan

BEES AND GRAPES.
The HOney-Mnkcrs Suck the Juice of
the Ripe Fruit Only After Ii
Has burst Open.

The question whether bees pune
ture grapes has been discussed from
various stanGpoints for good many
wears, and the conclusions reached by
most thinkers and Investigators or the
subject are that bees do not puncturc
grapes, but suck the juice of grapes
only after they have been burst open or
been bitten by birds. Prof. Il. l.. lay
lor, of the Michigan experiment sta
ton, has conducted some experiments
that would seem to put the question
at rest. His observations were that
the bees worked only on the Delaware
and Lady grapes, varieties that burst
open badly in wet seasons. Prof. Iay-
lor placed 1000 sacks on clusters of
Is different varieties of grapes so that
the bees could not get at them. To-
ward the close of the experiment II
was found that the grapes inclosed in
sacks were suffering more than those
that were left uncovered, and many OF
the grapes had burst open. The eN-
perimenter concluded that the sucking
away of the juice of the grapes by the
bees is direct benefit rather than an
injury, in that these juices are pre-
vented from flowing upon sound
grapes, and thus increasing the amount
of the injury by the cracking of the
skin.-Farmers Voice.

A PARTY OF JOB LOTS.
The Democracy mt Present In .
Queer Mixture of Political
Odds and Ends.

Recently n member of the house in
debate referred TO Mr.. Cleveland as the
greatest democrat since Jackson, and
the report says the remark caused de-
risive laughter on the democratic side.
The incident serves to show the torn-up
condition of the party. Cleveland 10
the only man the democrats have re-
elected since Jackson's day. lie re-
ceived the nomination three times. He
is the only democrat who has reached
the presidency since 1856. His second
term expired less than three years ago,
and yet his name excites nothing but
sarcastic merriment among the demo-
Gratis in congress. The point seems to
be n confession that the one demo-
cratic president in half a century was
one too many. His own party, after re-
peatedly bestowing upon him their
highest h9nors through long term
of years, have nothing left for him but
a hooking laugh. If they are right now
they were wrong in 1854, 1883 and 1892,
and are~simply acknowledging an UNI
limited capacity for making mistakes.
No doubt Mr.. Cleveland has some
friends and admirers left in democratic
circles, but they can have little in COM
mon with the element now running the
organization. The party is split up in
so many ways that ii is next to impossi-
bic to describe them all. There are
gold democrats, silver democrats,
greenback democrats, expansion demo-
cats, anti-expansion democrats and 9TH
err subdivisions too numerous to men

mustered to support the pretensions of

independence for Filipinos RECON-
mended by Bryanite Repre-
sentatives.

The democrats in congress have not
been able TO agree on Philippine pol
icy as yet. A few days ago Representa-
tive Williams, of Mississippi, offered n
series of resolutions which, il is under
stood, express the views of Mr.. Bryan.
Those resolutions propose that the
United States shall recognize the right
Of the Filipinos to national independ-
ence, and shall withdraw its land and
sea forces upon "the Inauguration of a
constitutional government or govern
ments by the people of the islands or
any of them" Were the American
forces to stop fighting, Aguinaldo
would set upEin day what he and
Representative Williams would call a
constitutional government" because
there would be written constitution
which would be so much waste paper.
Then it would be the duty of the United
States TO move out. But under the res
oiutons it would have to protect for
ten years the constitutional govern
ment or governments" against the ag-
gressions of foreign powers.
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, has Of
fered resolutions regarding the Philip
pines which, though they differ from
those Of Representative Williams, are,
1t is understood, favored by many dem
ocrats. These Bacon resolutions de-
clare that it is not the purpose of the
United States to maintain permanent
dominion over the Philippines, but that
it contemplates the establishment of
an Independent government there ul-
timately, and that when stable gov

der American supervision, competent
and worthy in the judgment OF the
United States TO exercise the powers of
an independent government and pre-
serve peace and maintain order within
its jurisdiction then national inGc-
pendence shall be given the Filipinos
The difference between these two
sets of resolutions is considerable. One
set contemplates the abandonment Of
the islands by the United States when
ever the Filipinos set up what they will
call Il constitutional government, but
which will be a choice mixture of an
archism and despotism, cemcnted to-
gether with blood. The other set pro-
poses that the islands shall not be
given up until American authority has
been fully established and the Filipinos
have proved to the satisfaction of the
United States that they are competent
to govern themselves. They are not
now. Humanity speaking, they never
will be. They do not belong in the
category of self-governing races. The
adoption of constitution will not put
them there.
What is to be gained, then, by prom
ising the Fiiipinos national independ-
ence when they are fit for it, when it
is plain that they never will be fit for
it, at least not until generations have
come and gone? The only effect of
such a promise, impossible of fulfil
ment, will be to encourage malcontent
Filipinos like Aguinaldo TO keep on
insisting that they are fit for independ-
ence and shooting at American sol
diers to prove it. All these democratic
rsolutions-nonc of which will be adopt
ed-will contemplate recognizing on
possible or impossible conditions, the
national independence of the Filipinos,
serve only to confirm Aguinaldo in the
belief that lie has friends in this coun-
try, and thus encourage him to keep
on resisting the lawful authorities in
