For Farmer Readers.

Meat in some shape is always re-
commended us an important cle-
ment in the food of hens.
In feeding calves there should be
no guess work about the quantity
or temperature of the milk.
There is no use in handling tons
of water in green clover which
must be thrown off by heat in the
NOW.
Corn. when fed alone, has Il ten
dency to fattening rather than to
produce the most profitable egg
laying.
The average price of butter the
past year was two and II half cents
a pound higher than the year pre-
vious.
1t costs about as much to keep a
cow that makes five pounds of but
ter Il week as it does one that
makes ten.
The attendance on dairy schools
is increasing, and the capacity of
all of them will have to be enlarg-
ed before many years.
Wean the pigs when eight to
ten weeks old, and give the SOW
time to regain flesh and strength
before the next litter.
Place hardwood ashes where the
hogs can eat them. Ashes furnish
bone building material and aid in
digestion.
The well treated COW evinces the
disposition to put her owner and
her calf on the same footing. That
is the very best she can do by her
owner.
Don't let your blacksmith file
high up on your horses hoofs. 1t
makes the foot look fancy, but re-
moves the enamel surface and al
lows drying out.
The weak-kneed and discouraged
should take example by the mule.
a mule never allows anything to
kill him until he has made up his
mind to die.
Turkeys, both young and old,
are great buggers. Let them roam
and "gobble" up the bugs and
hoppers, so long as they do your
neighbOrs no harm.
If fowls must be prevented from
flying, open one of the wings and
pull out the first flight feathers,
usually ten in number. They will
be no detriment in appearance.
When twig of your tree APP
pears as if covered with ashes,
look sharp for San Jose scale; also
if when the bark of infected twigs
is scraped, an oily yellowish liquid
appears on the surface.
KEROSENE emulsion is a sovereign
remedy for raphides, or plant lice.
Not only does it kill the full grown
insect, but il also seems to DESTROY
the vitality of the eggs. 1t really
kills all insects that it touches.
The hens, rs well as other live
stock on the farm, partake largely
of the temper of their keeper. If
you are good to them they will not
run the other way. The flock that
comes pays better than the one
that runs.
In nearly all eases where the
fowls have the run of the farm
they can pick up IA good variety OF
food and grit they need. But when
kept in close confinement, they gel
only what is supplied them. Sc
more care is necessary with fowls
in confinement than if given fire,
range.

MlLLlNERs SURRENDER.

Audobon Society Clsins . Victory Over
Feather and Bird Dealers.
CHICAGO, June 2.-The Tribune says:
The milliners Of the United States, 1t is
reported, have surrendered to the Au-
dobon societies. Word has been re-
ceived in Chicago by Ruthven Dame,
president Of the Illinois Audubon go
ciety, that the Merchant Milliners' as
ISOLATION, which, he says, controls more
than 80 per cent of the millinery trade
of the country, has sent out q white
flag and is willing to surrender to the
aggressive bird protectors, providing a
few concessions were granted. If the
directors Of the Illinois society agree
with other societies to grant what the
manufacturers desire it will be impos:
sible after stipulated time has elapsed
for an American woman to buy any
American bird or aigrette to stick in
her hat. The Chicago directors Of the
Audubon society were jubilant over the
surrender of the feather and dead bird
dealers. Three years ago, the Audo-
bonites say, the mAliners laughed at
the protective society as fad which
would last but a season. The organiza-
ton has been actively at work in all
parts Of the country since it was
formed and the members say that the
milliners have now been compelled to
sue for mercy.

a degree that the other syrup makers
are unable to do satisfactory business.

KOOMASSIE RELIEVED,

Reported Captain Hall Entered That
Place May Sc.
LONDON, June 2.-The colonial Office
has received dispatch from Cape Coast
Castle, dated May 81, saying it is be-
ieved there that Captain Hall, with a
relief party, entered Koomassie May 20.
The governor, Sir Frederick Mitchell
Hodgson, with the sick, wounded and
refugees, was expected to arrive at
Fumsu May 80. Troops, it was added,
have been concentrated at Fumsu to
overcome any possible resistance by the
rebels, who are reported to be to the
north.
Notwithstanding the optimistic tone
of the dispatch from Cape Coast Castle
it reveals somewhat serious affair,
inasmuch as the party Of Governor
Hodgson being cut off by the enemy
north Of Fumsu. it practically oompels
the evacuation Of Koomassie, which
will be interpreted by the hostile tribes
as a British retreat and thus tend to
spread the rising.

VOTED ON PARTY LINES
But Five Democrats Favor and
Two Republicans Oppose
the Measure.
Senators Indulge in a Warm
Debate of a Political
Character.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The house Of
representatives. after q lively debate
extending over two days, defeated the
joint resolution proposing. q constitu-
tional amendment empowering con-
gress to regulate trusts. It requires q
two-thirds vote under the constitution
to adopt an amendment to the constitu-
ton. The vote stood, ayes 164, nays
18l. The affirmative vote, therefore,
was 80 short Of the requisite two-thirds,
1872. Five Democrats, Messrs. Camp
bell (Mon.), happen (Mass.), scudder
IN. ~, Sibley (Pa.) and Thay"r
(Mass.) and one Silverite, Mr.. New
lands (Nev.) voted with the Repub-
icans for the resolution, and two Re-
publicans, Messrs. Loud (Oal)
and Mccall (Mass.), with the
Democrats. These were the only
breaks from party lines. The Populists
voted soGdly against the resolution.
The debate preceding the vote had a
strong political flavor throughout and
was at times very personal. The fea-
lures were the closing speeches Of Mr..
De Almond (Mo.) and MI. Ittlefield
(Me.) for their respective sides, and the
short speech of Mr.. Mccall (Mass.)
against the resolution.
Mr.. Mccall has distinguished himself
before during this session In opposing
the action Of his colleagues on the Porto
Rican bill. His action was unheralded
and therefore attracted the more atten-
ton.
At the night session the bills to ratify
the treaties made by the Dawes COM
mission with the Cherokee and Creek
Indians were passed.
