MORE RIOTS.

Barcelona, Feb. 20. THE industrial
and commercial life of this city is still
completely paralzyed. Troops patrol
the streets continuously and there
have been frequent charges of soldiers
to disperse the crowds. Two fresh
regiments of infantry arrived on We'd
nesday.
Meat and bread are already scarce
as no provisions have been brought
into the town since yesterday.
Madrid, Feb. 20. - The Captain
General of Catalonia reports that the
general strike continues. The strikers
yesterday attempted to stop tram
car in Barcelona. One striker was kill
ed and three injured. In an affray at
San Martin three provincials were
killed and three injured. AT Sabadell
the strikers burned the octroi office
and attempted to set the convent on
fire, but the police prevented them
from carrying out their project
Order was temporarily restored in
Barcelona at eight O'Clock last night
and the troops were sent to their
barracks. The Red Cross physicians
and nurses attended the wounded in
the streets. One of the wounded was
identified as French anarchist.
Paris, Feb. 90 Patrie publishes a
despatch saying bloody fight occurred
between troops and rioters near Barcelo-
na Five hundred we're killed and
wounded and large part of the town has
been RACED by strikers. Artillery head
quarters are burned.
Barcelona, Feb 21.-A fierce bat
tie was fought late Thursday after
noon between the troops and the riot
ers in the suburb of Barcelona known
as Sano. Before the engagement the
cavalry and infantry had been posted
in the most dangerous points, and a
field battery had been located on the
plaza from which vantage point the
guns could sweep the surrounding
streets. When the final clash with the
troops occurred, continues the des-
patch, the artillery was brought into
action and raked street after street.
The rioters engaged the batteries at
close range but were finally driven off.
1t is reported that 800 persons were
killed and wounded on both sides
The entire neighborhood was wrecked
by the shells. The ruins caught fire
and this completed the destruction.

has been issued ordering all private
individuals to surrender any weapons

horses we feed less bran, but like a
little all the time. l have never had
any bad results from it's use, but have
never fed over four quarts at feed to
a horse. l should think one might
feed enough to scour horse if the
horse was a glutton, and possibly to
any horse. l never tried to kill any
thing with it or even to see how much
they could stand.
We would as soon think of getting
along without any kind of feed as
without the bran to any young grow
ing animals. l think it is used ON all
stock farms l would not expect to
keep a work or driving horse ON bran
alone, for the reason that they do not
believe that there is enough fat and
muscle in it. 1t is too bulky feed
to be sustaining food for hard work.

some of the nitrogen quickly avail
able, as in nitrates or blood. For po-
tatoes I should select a mixture hav-
ing three to three and half per cent
nitrogen, mostly from nitrates or
blood, so as to act quickly; about six
to eight per cent available phosphoric
acid, and eight to ten per cent potash
in the form of sulphate. For cabbage l
should use about the same as for po-
tatoes, but would apply a supplemental
dressing of soda nitrate when the
crop is well started. l always grow
my cabbage by transplanting and use
a small quantity of fertilizer in the
drill when setting, but most of the
fertilizer is sown broadcast and well
worked in. The soda nitrate is best
sown between the rows and worked in
by cultivation 1900 pounds of fer
tilizer with 200 pounds of soda nitrate
is as little as will do ON my soil. For
potatoes / use l., 200 to 1,500 pounds of
fertilizer, all in the drill, and well
mixed with the soil. Potatoes, es-
pecially the earlier varieties, grow
quickly and need their food near by
and ready for use. For corn, if using
1900 pounds of fertilizer per acre,
should apply 1900 pounds broadcast
and work in well, and use 300 pounds
in the drill or hill. prefer to plant
in hills. The roots of corn and cab
bage will extend through the whole
soil, and wonld better be induced to do
so, but potatoes, think, do better
when fertilized in the drill. - M.

SKILL IN MILKING.

Milking is an operation that re-
quires skill, as it has an important
effect on the amount and quality of
milk given Dairymen know that
there are as great differences between
mixers as between COWS and that
COWS will do much better with good
mixers than with others. Indeed,
good COWS are often almost ruined by
poor mixers.
The mixer should avoid handling
the COW more than is necessary, and
he should make it q rule to do the
work quickly and thoroughly. He
should never go from a sick to we'll
COW without first cleansing his hands
The habit of wetting the hands with
milk is filthy in the extreme and
should never be practiced. Some peo-
pie think it is necessary, but this is a
mistake. The hands should be kept
dry. If they are not, it is impossible
to keep drops of milk from constantly
falling from them into the pail, says
the Farm. Field and Stockman.
The pail should be held close to the
udder so as to expose the milk to the
air as little as possible. The farther
the streams fall and the more they
spray, the more dirt and bacteria they
collect. Contamination from the fore
milk must be avoided by discarding
the first few streams drawn, or less
than a gill in all. This entails little
loss, as the first milk drawn is al
ways poor in butter fat, and if it
happens to be badly contaminated, as
is frequently the case, much injury
results.

KIDNEY DISEASE AVERTED.

How to Detect This Approaching Trouble and Nip

Wine" will do this and so marked is it's
action on the kidneys that you can act
ually feel it working on them within a
few minutes after taking dose.
It gives them just the kind of bath
they need and it heals up the sore. 1t
takes away the smarting, burning, pain
full, dragged-down, all-gone sensations, as
if by magic. 1t takes sediments of all
kinds out of the little hooks and corners
where they lodge and cause brick dust,
gravel, stone in bladder, Inflammation,
etc. If YOU have any of these troubles,
or even if you have any of the slightest
symptoms of kidney disease, you ought
to protect yourself. 1t is easier to pre-
vent than to cure any disease. A bottle
of "Blood Wine," costing fifty cents, will
often stave off serious trouble, and spare
the patients life, to say nothing of saving
great expense and long suffering.

TREATMENT OF THE COLT.

like to have the colt go some in
harness when a yearling, and then if
it is not wanted in harness again for a
couple of years when it is harnessed
again its past associations with the
harness all seem to come back to it
again. and it is ready to begin where
it left off. The summer the colt is a
yearling is the hardest to keep it in
good flesh, and even with an extra
chance it will get thin. When the
colt is q two-year- old it will do some
work or some driving, but | never in

is, they are tied with halter. l do
not like the way of letting them run
loose, for they will move about too
much of the time But if they are tied
up with some bedding under them
they will lie down most of the night

and rests their legs, and seems to me
Gne better way 1Or Unem.
Even if l intend the colt to get it's
living in the fields during the winter
it is put i'll the barn at night, given
little grain in the morning, curried

is empty it will go out into the fields
and eat most of the day. Toward
night it will come back for some
water and it's place in the barn. If l

horses work. This is good for them
and will go long way toward paying
for their keeping; and then, a colt
treated thus, will, if properly fed and
handled, make better growth and de-
velop into a more desirable horse
than if turned out in the best pasture
to care for itself as a four year old.
For the same reason that a boy eats
more from the time he is eight years
old until he is twenty than afterward,
the colt needs more feed than the ma
ture horse. If 1 kept horse until it
