American Economist.
Great Years,

The administration has started upon
the last year of it's present term. The
three years past have been the most
momentous to the republic of any since
the civil war closed. A successful war
which covered the country with glory,
niagnified immensely its prestige and
brought it immense new possessions of
territory, has been fought; the republic
has attained to the position of the
worlds foremost power. To-day the
world leans more upon our country,
and coyets more its good opinion than
any other. It comes to us for bread;
1t comes for meat; it comes for textiles;
It comes for locomotives and bridges,
for coal. for silver and for gold. The
mines Of the rand and Kimberley are
timbered with Oregon frs; the canned
fruit and fish which the miner buys
in South Africa are American; the
mules which haul the food and ammu-

The Value of Mules.


The cause of the large order for army
pack mules which the British Govern
ment has been buying in this country
and mostly in Texas, was the recogni-
ton by English officers present during
the brief campaign of Santiago de
Cuba Of the value of these wiry little
animals in the transportation of sup
plies. The officers of our own regular
army had long known and appreciated
their usefulness during an active cam
paign. With enough Of them an army
can be kept we'll supplied with every
thing the departments may have in
store during periods of bad weather
when wagon trains could not be moved
at nll, and over country too rough for
vehicles Their readiness at any time
for service and the ease with which
they can be kept together and moved
over any sort of country in order to be
kept within convenient reach of the
troops will recommend them to all Off
GERS who see them in active campaigns
Every government of Europe is quick
to appreciate anything that tends to
improve the efficiency of an army IN
the field, and it is not improbable that
other European governments will make
acquisitions upon this country for large
numbers of pack mules. Texas can
raise thousands of them on the range
at little cost.

Model Goat Dairy.

An attempt to improve the goat as a
milk giyer is being made by NJ. j.
Crepin, of Paris. He has established q
model goat dairy, and has obtained
very satisfactory stock by crossing the
best native goats with the Nubian
buck, the latter being vigorous, indif-
ferent TO cold and hornless. Goats milk
is richer i'm caseine and more digestible
than cows milk. In composition it is
more nearly like the milk of the human
mother than any other, and it has the
advantage Of being comparatively free
from risk of infection, the goat being
seldom affected with tuberculosis and
other dangerous maladies. The butter,
like the cheese, is found to be remark
ably good.

Keeping Chimneys Clean.
After winters supply Of wood or
coal has been burned, much Of it while
rain or snow is drifting down the
chimney. it is sure to be foul with SCOT,
and any extra hot fire, especially with
wood, will send sparks mp that will set
the SCOT afire and endanger the house.
1t is a good plan to poke broom or
brush with very long handle up and
down the chimney to clear away the
SCOT. IL this is done and the SCOT is
removed from below there will be little
danger of its doing any damage The
chimney ought to be made smooth in
side. SO that the SCOT will not be caught
by roughness as the smoke goes up. A
chimney afire is serious danger, es-
pecially when the hot fire that causes it
is made just before the family retire
for the night. Coal fires arc less dan
eerous than those from light wood,
which make bright flame and send mp
many sparks.
Feeding Sitting Hens.
One Of the reasons why it is hard to
make hens sit regularly in winter is
found in feeding them too often. a
hen called off from her nest three or
four times day is likely to make some
ventures of her own to get food or
drink. Until the hen is thoroughly set
on sitting, she should be fed only once
q day. and that early in the morning.
If it is in q close room. where she can
not get OUT. the hen will go back to the
nest again and sit contentedly. She
takes no exercise and needs only food
enough TO sustain life and heat.
