Bar Sinister.

n. Y. World.
One hundred and thirty-five years,
one month and fifteen days ago to-day
the British Parliament passed an act
for the taxation of the American COL
onies, the money thus raised to be ex-
pended in and upon the colonies
themselves.
The whole world knows what fol-
lowed. 1t glows upon the brightest
page of human history. 1t thrills
from every fold of the ireest flag that
floats.
At the bidding of William McKin-
ley a Congress of the Republic
Wednesday drew across the shield of
representative government the black
bar sinister of tyranny and spat upon
the graves of those who died on the
battle-fields of liberty from Lexington
to Yorktown.
Shall we wipe out that stain? Shall
we reconsecrate those graves?
The platform that should be adopt
ed at Kansas City was made at Wash
ington yesterday. There is no room
in that platform for minor issues, for
past issues, for issues that cannot be
affected by this campaign. There is
room for just the one great issue-the
Republic.
The Republic has been assailed. Its
principles have been abrogated. Its
institutions have been undermined.
And in this Porto Rican bill, Privilege,
Militarism and Imperialism throw
down the gauntlet. There is no Ion
ger any possibility OF deception or de-
fusion.
Rarely has heavier responsibility
been placed upon political leadership
than that now resting upon the lead
ers of the Democratic party. The
platform they adopt whl be the test.

Simmer Flannels.

According to the New York Sun
last summer the flannel suit became
for the first time in New York an
article for general city wear. 1t had
previously been confined to country
use, but English sailors, sending over
these garments in dark colors, made
them popular in town. In all proba-
bility many more of them will be seen
this summer. They have the advant-
age Of being somewhat cheaper than
serge or the cloths customarily used
and they possess the merit OF lightness.
Most of those seen last year in New
York were made of imported goods,
while this summers supply will, in all
probability, be home made. Ameri-
can manufacturers have turned out
this winter large supply of this fan
mel and, after their custom, have i'm
proved on the original in designs and
colors. They have made these cloths
more attractive, and the flannel suit
will probably be pervading feature
OF the coming summer.

The colt should be allowed to run
with ehs cam until it IS 6 months old.
The mare should have plenty Of grass
and such other food as may be neces-
sary to keep her in good condition and
keep up the flow OF milk. The colt
should be handled and fondled from
the time 1t is a week old, accustoming
it to the use of the halter. Thus it
becomes accustomed to the master and
if kindly treated viii soon come to seek
the fondling hand. AS soon as it will
eat, say at about 2 months Old 1t
should be accustomed to a little oats
daily the amount being gradually in
creased until it gets a full ration at 6
months old. When ready to wean it
will already be accustomed to lead by
the halter. Feed generously. Give It
plenty Of water. Horses should have
intelligent management, because they
are Intelligent animals. They have a
sense OF reason which may be i'm
proved by training. They are natu-
rally disposed to rely upon their mas
ter, and this disposition should be cul-
tivated and in no case overcome by
fear Of injury. They are courageous
and at the same time timid. Their
courage should be cultivated, since it
Increases their spirit and decreases
their timidity. They fear objects with
which they are not familiar, but If
their confidence in the master is
greater than their fear they can be
induced to approach objects to them
most fearful. Teaching the young
animals that while the master must
be obeyed promptly and implicitly, he
is yet an indulgent master, requiring
hothine but What is necessary to be
done. and that when the task is per-
formed the rewards of kind care and
rest will follow No horse broken by
main strength and brute force is ever
quite safe in unskilled hands. The
first lesson to be impaired is perfect
confidence in the will of the master,
which is given when the colt is first
haltered.-J. C. Ware.

Latest investigations strengthen the
opinion that sorghum as feed is most
valuable when young When it is two
feet high it contains three times as
much heterogeneous matter, twice as
much fats and only two-thirds as much
woody matter as it does when it has
attained its growth and formed seeds,
Mr.. K. W. Thatcher of the Nebraska
agricultural college says that sorghum
is, when young, an almost perfect food
for animals. 1t contains flesh-forming
materials and fat-forming materials in
the proportion Of about seven to one.
When nearly mature the fat-forming
materials increase greatly and the
ratio becomes about twenty-three 20
enc. AS we are after a ratio of about
six to one. it will be seen that the
young stage is the time when sorghum
most conforms to the requirements.
Therefore it should be used for green
soiling or pasturage before the seeds
form. Mr.. Thatcher advises to begin
pasturihg it when it is not more than
Two feet high, so that the stalks first
eaten on may produce a crop of green
cane. However sorghum, though a
perfect food, is no more a complete
food for animals than is milk, for the
reason that it contains too much
water. The animals simply cannot eat
enough of it. to give them the solids
they need. 1t is necessary to add to
the feed of sorghum grain or some
other condensed food Sorghum in its
young stage contains about IS per cent
OF water, which is not much different
from the percentage of water con-
tanned in milk. When sorghum is to
be cut for fodder. the cutting should
take place at as early a stage as the
sorghum will cure. In fact, sorghum
fodder is not regarded as valuable for
feed, as it contains too little of the
protein element.

there is a third thing which you have

And | replied, HE must know how to
obey" 1t is not enough to know how
to march, it is not enough to know
how to shoot; there must in addition be
fine discipline, and that fine discipline
comes Of the soldiers knowledge how
to obey-to obey not merely with
Blind obedience, but with an obedience
which comes from faith, faith in the
officers, faith in their skill and faith
