Ex-senator Villas follows public is
sues closely. He has been especially in
terestcd in the passage of the currency
act, for he made many notable speech
es ON the money question when i'm the
senate and was close to 1t as a cabinet
officer. I infer that he is pretty thor
Oughly in sympathy with the measure
in most of it's provisions.
He errs who considers the senator
political recluse, along with the 9TH
III gold Democrats because side
tracked by the Bryan movement In
view of his ability and strength in
the hey-dey of his physical aud mental
powers, il seems unfortunate for the
country that Mr.. Villas and his aSso-
ciates should be disassociated from
the arena of public life for which
they have been trained. One can bur
believe that some whirl of the politi-
cal top may land them again in posi-
tion for action. Ex-senator Villas is tax
ing an active interest in the affairs
of Madison ana never appeared in bet,

called on at local gatherings. and is
frequent CURE in the streets. Even
those who used to complain note a
more amiablc temper, and there is a
theory that his Affections have not
been without their modifying infiu-

Sleeping Oats for Horses.

Inc nutrltiye power OF oats, Herr
Kaln, German agricultur,st says,
may be considerably augmented by
sleeping the grain in water before Civ
ing 1t to horses. This is lis plan: He
has three troughs. each of which holds
as much oats as will be required for
one days feeding. The first day the
first trough is filled with oats AMI water
at temperature of s degrees G. poured
over 1t, and the whole mass is we'll
stirred. The water Is left in the trough
about six hours. after which it is
strained off through hole in the bot
tom of the trough. The next day the.
operation is repeated in tie second
trough. and again on the following day
the third trough. The oats thus steep
ed in hot water get up fermentation,
and at the expiration of forty-eight
hours are ready to be given to the
horses. and will then. according to
Herr kalff, produce the maximum
nutritive effect.
Framing in Winter.
Some successful fruit growers hold
that fruit trees should not be pruned
in winter. while others pay little atten-
ton to the season and 'prune when the
knife is sharp" About one point, how
ever there can be no doubt. and this is
that it is not advisable to prune when
the wood is frozen. Other conditions
being equal, winter pruning is.practic-
ed by many for the reason that more
time and care can be given TO the work
in winter than is practicable in the
hurry of the spring work. Grapes can
be pruned any time during winter. If
the wood is wanted for propag ton, it
should be cut just before the severe
frosts arrive.
Removing Small Stumps.
Attach a stout piece of timber to the
stump by chain and twist it around
In circle until the chain Is taut. Then
hitch pair of horses or yoke Of
vixen to the outer end of the timber
md twist the stump out OF the ground.
1t will be necessary to stand by with
an ak and chop off the roots as they
appear when the earth is disturbed IN
the twisting process. Enormous pow
er can thus be applied to stumps. and
