Dry and Cooked Feeds.

It Is said that uncooked grain Is, as
a rule, preferable for strong, healthy
horses in hard work, but 1t is not de-
slrable that the grain should be given
them by itself. Some chaff should al
ways be mixed with it, as otherwise
some of the feed is sure to pass into
the bowels unmasticated, and probab-
ly will. in due course, be voided in the
same condition exactly as when 1t was
placed in the manger. Therefore 1t
goes without saying that it has not
nourlshed the horse a bit. When
horses are not in hard or fast work
they may have their oats steamed,
and by this means not only will n
saving in expense be effected. as the
food goes further, but the animals en-
joy the change. In this case, as I'm
that of dry grain, chaff ought not to
be mixed with the corn. Grain that is
not perfectly sound ought never to be
given to the horses uncooked; and
cooked food must not be placed before
them after fermentation has set in.-

Low-Down Farm wagons.

Low-Down Farm wagons.
Any farmer who has struggled to lift
heavy loads to the box of the ordinary
farm wagon realizes the value of the
low wagon, but there is more in the
low wagon than its road use. While
the wagon designed for road use may
be too expensive for general hauling
on the farm, a wagon suited for the
purpose may be constructed at quite
small cost. Wheels from old mowers
are used, but If none such are obtaina-
bic, low wheels can be bought for
reasonable prices.
The wagon Led is made of heavy
planks and is in reality platform on
ly, as this wagon can be used for haul
ing bags of grain and cornstalks, so
that no sides are needed. Heavy posts
are used at the corners and arranged
so that they may be removed when de-
sired.

When King Victor Emanuel decreed
that his little daughter, Princess Yo-
lande, should wear sandals which are
now SO much worn by our little peo-
pie, his people were properly shocked.
Fancy a little princess having her
bare feet protected only by an arrange
ment of brown leather soles and straps,
and of actually going barefooted on
the seashore! Even the Queen disap-
proved and would like to have kept
her daughters little toes covered with
openwork silk socks and white kid
shoes, like those Of other little folks
of exalted rahk.
Princess Yolande's opinion on the
subject is not recorded. but doubtless
she approved Of her fathers choice %

Packing Apples For Market.

All fruit should be neatly and hon
estly packed, whether in the small box,
where deception is easily detected, or
In the barrel. where less liable. The
practice of facing at the ends of the
barrel is one calculated to do the
grower great harm, sooner or later
For best results the fruit should run
the same, all through the barrel. Do
not place large, fine colored specimens
at the end and fill in the middle with
windfalls, knotty or decayed fruit
these can best be marketed as cider
or vinegar stock. That barrel will be
opened eventually and the deception
come to light. Such man will not
get to run his fraud the second time
on that customer, so he will be con-
tinually on the hunt of new trade. Use
regulation size barrels. Bend the nails
down close. so that they will not cut
the contents. Place course of aver
age apples on the bottom, stems down
ward. Then gently put in the fruit,
reculllng as the barrel fills. Fill to
about two inches above the barrel so,
when the cover is forced in place, the
contents will not shake about. With q
screw or lever force the cover in place
and nail firmly. On the end neatly
stencil the name of the apple. A good
stencil outfit can be had for seventy
five cents or 81, and is useful in vari-

NO UNION DEPOT
The Time for That Railroad COnven-
 fence Has Not Yet Arrived

Secretary F. I. Kendall of the Mari copa. Phoenix and Salt River Valley railway left last night for his home in San Francisco after a stay of two days here on business connected Wsth the road. Just before leaving he was seen by q reporter for The Republican and asked regarding the prospect of a union depot MT. Kendall said he did not be Ieve there would be one very soon; he did not think that the time had come yet for that kind of a convenience. The new depot, he said, which his com pany would shortly build at the corner of Center and Jackson streets would be in such close proximity to the depot oi the s. F., r. & r. that the travelling public would practically have all the ,Daveniences of a union depot without entailing upon the companies the eX- pense of building one.
 No doubt. he said, the time would come when there would be d union depot, but at the present time the com panies could serve the public better by spending money in other improvements. The new depot of the M. & r. will occupy nearly all the northeast corner of the block south of Jackson. between Center street and First avenue, as the S. r.. r. & P. depot now occupies the greater part of the southwest corner of the block immediately north. That will bring the two structures within 200 feet of each other.
 Regarding the depot to be put up, MT. Kendall said that work would be begun on it at once. It will be a frame structure and will be a very handsome one. Frame would be better than brick. MT. Kendall said, unless en- ameled brick were used, and that would be rather expensive. The main thing is to secure convenience for passengers with a reasonable degree Of ornamen- tatiOn.

The second performance of the old play of Rip Van Wrinkle" passed off nicely to a large audience. and one and all were unanimous in their praise of the performance. The dance was also largely attended. On account of the large numbers that attend the dances the Mesa excursion has been changed to Wednesday night. They will be rendered dance tonight as usual. To- night will be the last of Rip, as the balance of the week will be given over to comedy. II was thought advisable by the management to save the great play of Where MagnClias Bloom as an opening play for the sixth week. Consequently the rest of this week will be given to Mr. Curtiss' own play of Jason Josklns." There will be no less than sixteen specialtics introduced. and as laughmaller the play has few equals.
