NEW YORK. July 24--The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says: The markets here are drifting aimessIy. so idle that dealers fill the time circulating vague and absurd rumors about a peace treaty being signed in South Africa this afternoon. all arising apparently from Lord Miners speech of yesterday. Americans opened enthusias- tic and dropped sharply In the absence of business. They fuctuated erratically, closing midway between the hest and the worst, but neglected. The bank bought G30OO0 gold in bars and sent G45,O00 to Egypt and E23,000 to Australia. Govern ment disbursements were slackening.

PUMPKINS FOR cows,
Ohio Dairywoman Consllers Them N
Excellent Ration in Conpeetton
with Corn. >,-

While we never went into pumpkins
for COW feed to the extent some cor
respondents report, we have .practiced
feeding them to-. our <milch cows and
calves, and our. pigs and horses too,
whenever we had them: to feed, for
years. Last year, to our sorrow, We
didn't have them for our cow. We
never gave the stock all they would
eat Of them at once, but We gave about
a candy pail of chopped pumpkin to a
milch COW at feed, and fed twice per
day. We never gave so much to the
horse nor to the pigs at one time. Fl:
We put the pumpkins in a trough
and chopped them with spade; the
seed was never removed. The reason
some COWS 60 dry on pumpkins is be
cause they are not fed enough of them.
In addition to. the above ration tof
pumpkins, our cow had good pasture
for the time Of year, all the good water
she wanted, and all the salt, and she
gained in her milk. They are excellent
to- feed in connection with corn to a
fattening animal, and are good for
poultry, but must be cooked for the
latter use.-Emma Clearwaters, in

PLOT FOR FL.OJVs1oT. WATER

outlet as indicated.i One: advantage
Of this plan is that r can irriRate on

strike . furrow along the north side
of the row, throwing the soil away.
from the plants, then turn on q GEN
tie streamsthat will just nicely soak
around the plants. After it is we'll
wet in, run the plow the reverse way,
throwing the soil back against the
plants. If the soil becomes too wet,
it is thrown back as soon as dry
enough. The main point is, to have
q gentle stream A fast one will over
flow the furrow and run. too fast.
and simply set the: surface. This
leaves the roots to grow near the sur.
face and the plants show! the effect
of hot sun. A slow stream soaks
down, and have often saturated the
ground under the plant while the sur
face is yet dry. $3.50
: Anothe her advantage of this: system
OF irrigation is the ease with which
it is done. I can start the water on
one side of the garden and go to
work on the other, only stopping oc-
casionally to change the water from
one row to another. I watered the
row of early cabbage more than the
othersvand had them mature and out
of the way in time for a crop Of eel
cry, while the last heads in, the ad-
joining rows were not matured un-
til q month after the; celery was set
out. The greatest advantage Of 1irri-
cation is that you can get the VIA
ter when It is needed, and do not have
to wait for .. rain. Moles caused q
great deal of annoyance, for. many
times I have found the water rum
ming down a mole hill instead of fol-
lowing along a row, Of plants. By
using blunt stick about ~ inches
in diameter to punch down the earth
the hole will soon be blocked up.-

Stories Of the silent Man.

In the war with Mexico Grant was
second lieutenant, but for the most
of the time he commanded one coih.
pany in the Fourth infantry. He was
quiet, gentle and mild-mannered. He.
said but little to anyone, but when
he did speak there was excuse for It.
In camp he was always busy doing
something. If a man was sick, OF sim,
ply ailing . bit, it was not the SURGEON
who first knew it, but Lieut.. Grant.
II rations were short and poor, and
the army was where full rations, and
good ones, could be had, Grant would
not. rest until his men were properly
supplied. There was no bluster, no
fuss and feathers, mo wild swinging
OF arms, no swearing on the part Of the
popular lieutenant in those battles.
He was as cool and collected as he was
on drill; yet he seemed TO fly from
onds end Of the company to the other,
giving orders IN that quiet but effec.
tive way which characterized him IL
later years.-Maj. j. a. Watrous, n

suitable handles, as shown in cut.
The scraper box should be four feet
wide, two feet from front to rear of
box, and one foot in depth. These
dimensions will move almost a half
yard of mud at each load, and team
will pull it easily. y
The top and bottom of scraper
