CITY RAILWAY YIELDS.
GiUes Transfers Throughout Broad
zcay, Except at FOrty-SecOnd-st.

A partial capitulation. at least. has been made
by the New-York City Railway Company in the
fight over transfers. Transfers were given yes
terday at all points In Broadway. except at
Forty -second-st. This is considered a big vic
tory over the street railway. which stopped the
transfer privilege at Fourteenth-st and at
declaring that II was dangerous
to the travelling public TO issue transfers at
these points.
The decision of the Court OF Appeals, however.
left the street railway officials the option OF
giving transfers or again becoming the defend
ants in hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
of damage suits. So last night passengers were
able to obtain transfers at Broadway and Twen-
tythird-st.. Broadway and Fourteenth-st and
Broadway and Grand-st
1T is good that the street railway company is
showing a proper disposition in regard to these
transfers said James S. Lehmaier, chairman
of the executive committee OF the Citizens Tran
SIT Reform Committee of one Hundred. which
carried the fght for free transfers through the

quilted She was also worried because she
would be obliged again to undergo the ordeal OF
listening 10 what the prosecution had TO say
about her on the new trial, which would begin
this morning in the Supreme Court before Jus

thing that 'preyed upon her mind in addition

Beauty on the Farm.

A Kansas correspondent Is right In
calling attention to the contrast of pref
ty lawn3 and trim streets OF cities and
the slovsnly, unsightly, depressing sur
round.ngs Of most farms as one chief
explanation OF the reason why country
boys are attracted to the cities, beca use
farm life Is not made attractive and
because the severe unitarian attitude
Is always insisted on to the exclusion
OF everything that might brighten and
lend cfsesr and charm to the life ON thu
farm, says Breeders Gazette. And yet
under the right conditions, which one
may create for himself, and with meth
Cd intslN gently directed along the lines
not alens Of utility, but Of pleasure
and beauty. farm Life may become
what It should be-a source Of contin-
ual delight. contributing to mans Sc
ress happiness and cententmsnt as no
osAsr calling does.

HINTS FOR FARMERS


Many remedies have been tried With
varying satisfaction. bat nothing that
we know or has proved more effective
than seal or fish Oil and crude carb0hc
acid, in the proportion Of a tablespoon
full Of carbohc acid to a quart Of oil,
says American Cultivator. 1t Is
good deal OF trouble to apply 1t with q
brush. To be quite effective 1t should
be applied twice a week, but 1t will
be found great lelp II applied oncs
q week. Another preparation thst Is
highly recommended Is mixture OF
pine tar and lard, in the proportion OF
one part Of the former to ten parts Of
the lattax. 1t Ia put On with cloth
and rubbed down the neck, back, chest
and loins when the flies are most
troublesome T0r a spraying mixture
that may b made at home there is
perhaps nothing better than coal oil
emulSion--a mixture Of kerosene and
sospsuds shaken together. This has
TO be apphed almost every day when
the flies are bad, as it evaporates In
the course Of several hours.

How to Cure Alfalfa Hay.

pounds Of bran, says Professor Cottrell
Of the Kansas experiment station. Pro
tein Is the material in feed necessary
for the formation of blood, lean meat
and milk. Every effort. then, should be
made to cure the alfalfa in such way
as TO save all the leaves possible. This
method of curing will vary with the
condition of the crop, ground and
weather When alfalfa has made II
slow growth and nj the time of cutting
the ground and the weather are dry
there is no difficulty in curing. Otter
under these conditions il Is safe to rake
within few hours after moving and
stake few hours after the alfalfa has
been put In the windrows.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE


Dressmaking is done in every house
hold, and everywhere sewing is done
O. sewing rug will be found useful. For
q rug cut sixteen yards Of denim IN
four equal lengths. This will make a
four yard rug. Stitch around it two
inch hem, and to the back OF the hem
attach some lead weights, similar 10
those that are sometimes used in bicy-
Gle skirts. These will cause the rug
to lie fiat on the floor. Place this rug
under the sewing machine and cutting
table before beginning work. When
the work Is over, it may be picked up
and shaken out of doors. 1t will save
q great deal Of time and trouble and
the time necessary to pick 1t up and
bundle it out Of the way is much less
than would be required to pick up
Kaips and threads.

Use of Manure.

It IN the prevailing opinion OF chem
lists as well rs practical men that
where II is practicable 1t is best to ap'
ply manure and urine to the soil in the
freshest possible condition. The fertl-
Hing constituents Of well rotted ma
nure, as already explained. are more
quickly available to plants, and the
manure itself is less bulky and easier
to distribute. On the other hand fresh
manure mixed with the soil readily un.
dergoes fermentation which not only
increases the availability Of It's own
fertillzing constituents, but also assists
In rendering soluble the hitherto insol-
uble fertllizing constituents of the soil.
In fact, even with special precautions
to prevent injurious fermentation un.

heap the greater return is likely to be
got from manure applied in the fresh

The recent discovery of Mr.. Allen,
4 Dublin veterinary surgeon, that ordi-
nary turpentine is an antidote to car
bolic acid is one Of the many impor
tant discoveries which have resulted
more or less from accident. Mr.. Allen
had in his establishment some horses
which were suffering from carbofic
poisoning. and be asked for oil to be
given as an antidote. 1t was only the
unexpected success Of the treatment
which caused it to be discovered that
q happy mistake had been made and
that turpentine had been administered
instead of Oil. A few days later u
blacksmith who was unconscious from
carbolic poisoning was similarly treat
