HICKS FOR APRIL.

April the 1st and 2nd are reactionary
storm days and decided rise in temper
ature with rain and thunder may be ex-
pected about that time.
Cloudy and unsettled weather will be
natural for several days about the 4th.
Near the 7th it will change tovery warm
in western sections, and storms of rain
with some active hail, thunder and wind,
will pass eastwardly over most parts OF
the country from the Sth to the llth in
elusive. Let it be remembered that
we are still under the influence of the
earth's vernal equinox, and that both
Vulcan and Mercury will blend their
powers, bringing a marked crisis from
Wednesday the Sth TO Sunday the llth.
Look for high temperature, rain, thun-
der and hail, followed by westerly gales
and very decided change to cooler.
After few chilly mornings more April
storms will centre about the 18th and
18th. Scattering "April showers" may
be expected at almost any time and es'
pecially as we pass into the reactionary
and regular storm period.
A regular storm period is central on
the 10Th. As we enter this period look
for change to much warmer to set in
from the west-say about the 18th.
From about Saturday the 18th to Tues
day the 2lst very decided storms will
run their regular course from west to
east across the country. As in the other
storm periods in April look for the coo,
nights to follow at the close of this
period.
The next period in which storm con-
ditions will develop and run their course
from west to east will be central on the
oath and 25th, and on and touching
those dates a series of electrical storms
are almost certain to develop.
April comes to its close in the OPEN
ing days of Vulcan storm period, hence
change to warmer will be in progress as
the month goes out.
Summing up the whole matter, we
believe that April will be an average
good month for all industries. The last
half especially will be fine and pleasant.
Showers must be expected with an
occasional hard storm, but we do not
predict an excess of general rains, but
rather the other extreme"

corps commanders, Gen. Sickles, who
commanded the Third corps; Gen. Gren-
vile M. Dodge, of the Sixteenth corps.
and Gen. James H. Wilson, of the West
ern cavalry corps.
All of these commanders were in Wash
ington, and they had with them many of
the officers who served under them.
OF all the number the sturdiest in phys
ical appearance is Gen. Grenville M.
Dodge, of Iowa, who is president of the
Society of the Army of the Tennessee,
and who, as chairman of the Sherman
statue committee, presided at the un-
yelling ceremonies Gen. Dodge, with
his great bushy head and stocky build,
looked younger by ten years than some of
the officers of the later day army who
grouped about him in uniform. He is as
fit physically to take command of an
army as scores of officers 20 years his
junior, and he is as active captain of
industry now as he was just after the
close of the war, when as chief engineer
ofthe Union Pacific railroad he supervised
the building of that road across the con-
tinent. Dodge bids fair to be the last
survivor of the old guard of civil war
chieftans, and when he goes he is pretty
sure to be commemorated by monument
here in Washington, where he has just
supervised the construction of mem
orial to his old commander.

a public office of any consequence prior
to 1861, and few men are left anywhere
either in public life or out of it. Sickles
was member Of the New York legisla-
ture away back in 1S47, and he was a
member of congress from 1857 to 1861.
That was before he became soldier.
1t was before he became soldier, too,
that the incident happend which gave
him national notoriety of a not very
enyiable kind. 1t was Sickles who shot
down Phillip Barton Key just before the
war for cause which justified the shoot
ing in the minds of those who understood
the circumstances and of the jury which
brought in verdict of acquittal. The
tragedy occurred just in front of the
house which was soon afterward oc-
cupied by William H. Seward, on Lafay-
cite square, in which James G. Blaine
died 80 years later, and which has since
been torn down to make way for the La
fayette opera house.
1t might have been thought that such
tragedy would bring to an end the
public career of the man who was respon-
sible for it; but not so with Sickles. He
made his military reputation in the civil
war, then he went to Spain as American
minister and since then has been mem
Der of congress and sheriff of New York.
He is IS years old now and as vigorous as
a man of 50-for all his wooden leg.

~ uOS has Deeu
member of the minority That was the
way with Holman, of Indiana, whose per-
sistent reiteration of the simple words,
II object" gained for him the title of
the Great Objector" Holman, during
the course of a long career in the house,
prevented the passage of more appropria-
lions than any other man before or since
and it is doubtful whether even an In
diana watch dog can hope to equal his
record; but Representative Hemenway-
that is the mans of the man selected by
Mr.. Cannon for the thankless job-will
have chance TO use the pruning knife on
far bigger bills in the aggregate than Hol-
man ever dreamed of.
Holman has been dead now nearly ten
years, after serving III the house of rep
resentatives for over 80 years. He lived
long enough to see the direful day on
which the appropriations of the govern
ment crossed the line that justified the
appeliation of the "billion dollar con-
gress"
That was crushing enough for him;
but his successor, Hemenway, is likely to
stay in congress long enough to see ap-
preparations run to the magnificent total
of billion dollars year, so rapid has
been the march of progress and so inces-
cant is the demand for money to keep the
machinery of the government in motion.

# the birth and death of Washington.

of the birth and death of Washington.
Strange as it may seem, ever since the
stamp was given to the public the depart
ment has been receiving inquiries as to
who was intended to be represented by
the portrait, although it is copy of the
most familiar of all the portraits Of
Washington; while protests came from
others against printing the name of the
first president beneath his portrait on
postage stamp, as though that were
needed. The most general complaint,
however, was that the lettering was too
small, to be read without a magnifying
glass, while the nose of the father of his
country displayed an unseemly red.
Altogether the complaints were so
many that the stamp was condemned and
a new one will take its place in few
days. The new stamp will represent
Stuart's Washington, with a shield for
background, and with the lines so deli
cately shaded as to dispel the impression
of inebriety.

CARE OF THE FoALs.

II the foal is worth raising at all,
1t is worth raising well. and il not
fed and cared for properly, will be
disgrace to its sire and q source of
loss to the owner, says the Live Stock
Journal. the mare should be fed well
enough to allow her to supply the
foal with abundant, rich, nutritious
milk. Her food should be rich in nj
trogenous ingredients, for these are
most required for frame building. She
should be allowed to suckle her foal
often, If she is worked, and never
when she is tired and sweaty. 1t does
not pay to allow the foal to run Wits
the mare at pillow or on way to town.
Milk is taken often in this way, but
not in suitable condition for the foal,
and, besides this, the foal is getting
too much fatiguing work in following
Its dam. Work the mare lightly, II
at all. Before it is too late put in 4
strip of fodder corn alongside Of tina
pasture. Let it be, say, ten rods wide
and plant the corn thickly with seeder,
having some of the sprouts shut off.

corn fodder for the mares to help out
the pastures and feed the mares in ad-
dition generously upon oats, bran and
cut hay. Wet this food with molasses
water, if you want lots of milk, and
can keep flies out of the stable Just
as early as possible let foals learn to
eat mixture of crushed oats, bran and
dried blood meal foods for frame build
Ing, and if there is any tendency to
weak bones add bone meal, which may
now be had in the market, and do
much to prevent such troubles as COS

must be lost, If best results are to DO
