Opening for an Argument.

Two members of scientific society
were discussing recent discoveries
while at an annual reunion of the or
ganization. One was an elderly bache-
lor and the other a maiden of equally
mature years.
Il dare say you have noticed re-
marked the lady, that in st. Joseph,
Mo-, a Chicago electrician not long ago
succeeded in restoring an Enthusiastically
dead cat to Iife?"
YES" he replied, 81 have noticed it
with sorrow and indignation. If he
wanted to prolong the life of some
creature, why in the name of all that
is righteous and of good report did he
select a cat?"
What she would have said in re-
joinder could only be conjectured from
her flashing eyes, for at this moment
they were summoned to refreshments.

Little Hay Goes a Long wax

Hay for work horses should not be
fed in excessive amounts w1an they
are upon the road or worked hard.
Stutfing with hay when required to ex-
ert their strength or speed is liable to
cause serious and lasting injury. 1t is
also without doubt a more frequent
cause of heaves and windbreak in
horses than in anything else. When
either of these troubles exists it so ag-
gravates the disease as TO endanger the
animals life. At morning and noon
only very little hay should be given.

strength and flesh Of the horse. but at
night liberal amount. of hay should
be fed.-Farm and Home.

but such as to produce muscle and

wn Grass.

While most of the seed stores sell
special lawn-grass mixtures. which.
perhaps, contain a half-dozen or more
varieties of grass seed, we doubt if any
of them will give better results than to
mix one bushel of Kentucky bluegrass,
a half bushel of clean redtop, or a
bushel in the chaff, one peck of sweet
vernal and one pound of white cloyer.
the above being amount for one acre.
The bluegrass is earlier than the red
top, and the redtop resists summer heat
better, while the fragrant, sweet vernal
is good both early and late. Have
the ground thoroughly pulverized and
made rich with about six hundred
pounds lawn dressing per acre, which
has more nitrogen and potash than the
usual superphosphates, and sow in
spring as early as the ground can be
well worked, or sow in August. We
prefer the artificial fertilizer to the
barnyard manure for lawn, as being
free from weed seeds. The above mix
ture is also a good one for permanent
paSture.-New England Farmer.

in a moment the President is informed
of the facts. But this great network
of nerves is employed in two different
ways. Not only does it tell the head of
the republic what is going on throughout
the earth, but these nerves also carry
back the orders that set the forces of
the nation to work. From the White
House the President issues orders to the

Liusesd Oil Cake.

1t is an English tradition that some
thing like 4 century ago a farmer used
the refuse from a linseed or fiaxseed
oil mill TO manure a field, and then
turned sheep on it. Going there a
while afterward he found that the
sheep had eaten the grass and the ma
nure as we'll. and had made a better
growth than those in other fields. This
is said TO have been the beginning of
feeding linseed cake to sheep. Posi-
