OF others and the firm determination
TO permit no wrong on us or on any
one else. II we draw distinctions
other than those based upon the good
conduct of any man we are recreant
to the principles OF 1776 and Of 1851
and 1865. We can not be pardoned
IL we show either one of two traits;
either the trait of an arrogant look

those who are less well of; or, on
the other hand, the equally mean and
base trait of jealousy and rancorous
hate for those who are better on be-
cause they are better OF.

Feeding ereen-stuH to Poultry.

Feeding Green-stuff to Poultry.
From Farmers Review: This sub
ject is of vast Importance, that is, 1t
is very necessary that poultry should
have plenty Of green stuff OF one kind
or another, and the more and varied
the variety of such food. the better for
your poultry, as they like a change,
soon firing of one thing alone; so II
you can give them certain kind one
day, something different the next, ETC..
until you have given them the several
different kinds which will mention.
they will relish any and all OF them
much better than IL confined to one
kind. Now | shall mention several
different kinds of green food which
can be fed to advantage. also explain
ing how to give 1t to them most sue
cessfully--cabbage, turnips, potatoes,
beets (the mangel-wurZel Variety.
clover meal, lawn-clippings, etc. !
usually feed the cabbage, turnips, po'
tatoes and beets by just slicing them
into halves or quarters and placing
them where they can get at them and
pick at them at their own free will;
this gives them exercise which is very
essential and is one OF the best tonics
for your birds. OF all these which
have mentioned, like the large man.
gel beets the best; when sliced and
placed before them. they will devour
almost the whole OF them in a short
time.
The cured clover meal or cut clover
; and lawn clippings are best fed by
first steaming, which makes them
green, then mixing with the mash
feed, giving 1t to them in troughs; one
thing which must be guarded against
is feeding so much that it lies around
and becomes stale as well as soiled-
don't overfeed! Now, my reader, |
would not have you think 1t necessary
to feed all the kinds of green stun |
have mentioned, for It is not; but it Is
very important that you feed some of
them, and as said. the more varied.
the better. Poultry must have green
food of some kind II you will keep
them healthy. and especially in the
winter time II you wish to have plenty
Of eggs: and furthermore. remember
the green food II you wish your eggs
to be fertile, as It is great aid to
fertility.
Where 1t is possible to do so, |
would advise sowing the chicken yard
to either rye or oats. Oats win do well
In the spring. but l prefer the rye
sown In the early fall and allowed to
get good start before turning the
poultry in: In this way you viii al.
ways have more or less green food
for them to pick at all winter unless
covered with snow, and II you will
watch them, you will observe how
eager they are to get at 1t; this you
will find handy and easy way to feed
green food at times but not always.
In connection with your care of the
fowls in other ways, II you will use
good judgment in feeding their green
food, your efforts in poultry culture
will be crowned with success, this has
been my experience. With the edi.
tors permission, allow me to say in
closing that my choice Of poultry Is

sometimes gets mixed in his metaphors
when addressing the house. While
arguing against a bill In favor OF a
railroad. he once began In preacher
like tones as follows: THE railroads

tone. he concluded; "and. gentlemen,

In an article on Some Humors OF

Francis Il. Leupp says that Represen-

of an argument he quite forgot his sur

to struggle, but naturally he was much

At the close of the address the
president was hurried into his car
rage and driven to the depot A
stop was made at Oskaloosa and NJ
Ottumwa the party stopped over
night. Here he was greeted by a
crowd of 10000 people.
In his Ottumwa speech the presi-
dent said he was under peculiar obi
cations TO Iowa, rs he had onefourth
of his cabinet from that state; for
this some were inclined to criticize
him, but when another state attained
the standard set by Iowa, he would
select one-fourth of his cabinet from
there. He alluded to the fact that
Secretary Shaw had been with him
all day, and made acknowledgment
to him and then warmly commended
Secretary Wilson. He said that it
was fitting that the secretary of agri-
culture should be chosen from Iowa.

Heavy Rains on Unfinished Drains

Heavy Rains on Unfinished Drains.
Charles G.. Elliott, In Engineering
for Land Drainage" says; During the
construction of drainage system the
work is often hindered in the spring of
the year by heavy rains which fill to a
greater or less extent the trenches
which have been dug and submerge
the lines OF tile which have been laid.
In the case OF mains with light fall,
there is considerable risk from dirt
and silt which may be washed into the
drain and partially obstruct II. The
tile drain may be securely closed at
the upper end, but'if the water is per-
mitted to flow over the top of the tile,
the drain itself being nearly empty,
the weight Of the water passing down
through the joints until the drain II
full carries with 1t large quantity Of
earth which by reason of the lack Of
current may not pass on through the
drain. The better way is to permit
the water to enter direct through the
end OF the drain and MI the tile COM
pletely, letting the surplus pass on
over the top of the drain.
