In a letter to Public Printer Stillings,
directing that changes; in spelling advo-
Gated by the simplidcl spelling board
be observed in all publications of the
Executive Department, President ROOse-
welt says that criticism of this step is
evidently made In ignorance of what
Is proposed. He asserts that there is
no intention of doing anything revolu-
%tiOnary, and that the purpose is for the
government, "inStrHd Of tagging behind
OF it, II ut the same time abreast Of
the views of the ahleSt and most prac-
teal educators of our time, as we'll as
of the profound scholars. men of the
Skeat." He explains, further, that If
these changes in the spelling of 300
words do not ultimately meet with pop
ula approval, they will be dropped. and
After quoting several examples in word
shortening in popular use, he declares
that this reform is not an attack on the
language of Shakespeare and Milton, Is
not an attempt to do anything far
reaching, sudden or violent, but is an
attempt ito cast what slight weight can
properly be cast on the side of the pop
ular forces which are cndcavOring to
make our spelling Il little less foolish
and fantastic."

It was found at the North Dakota
experiment station that seeding clover,
or clover and timothy, with a grain
drill, gives much greater assurance of
a stand than broadcasting. With one
exception during nine years, medium
red clover seeded with a nurse crop
passed through the first winter without
killing out. Allowing the second
growth to remain as a winter protec-
ton gave good results In preventing
Winterkilllng and reinforcing the stand
by means Of the new seed. 1t was OBJ
served that the average stubble field
was in most seasons efficient as a win
ter protection. Inspection after each
Of eleven winter seasons did not reveal
a case Of heaving by frost. Where an
ice sheet covered the plants, however,
the c%lovers, alfalfa, timothy, and red
top were killed out, while bronze grass
and the weed quack grass had with
stood this adverse condition. Satisfac-
tory results have been obtained from
using fifteen pounds Of clover seed per
acre, and a mixture Of five pounds Of
red clover seed and eight pounds of
timothy has given a mixture Of from
one-half to three-fourths of timothy
plants in the resulting stand. Ten
pounds of Mammoth clover with four
pounds of timothy seed have given an
average Of more han three-fourths clo-
yer in the hay. The results for four
years show a difference Of only ninety
one pounds in the yield of hay from
medium red clover and from n mixed
crop of clover and timothy. Red clover
also gave promise Of good seed produc-
ton while clover from Southern grown
seed or from most Of the foreign
sources was less satisfactory. Red
clover alone and grown with timothy
as q mixed hay crop gave in ten trials
an average yield Of 1876 pounds Of
hay yer acre. The average yield Of
hay from Mammoth clover for two
years was 1895 pounds.

Bully Food for Hogs.

The function Of bulk in the feed Is
more than the mere furnishing Of nu-
triment, for in a mechanical way 1t
aids digestion. Pigs require less bulky
feed than other domestic animals, but

We have stopped the Importation OF

recent years." says Commissioner Of
Immigration Sargent. "Iractically all
the large cities have scores Of boot
backing establishments filled with
bright eyed Greek lads of from 10 to IS
years. These were all brought over here
by a European syndicate. But we nave
broken up the business. We reject
these lads now Oh the ground that they
are under age, unacCompanieu by their
parents and liable to become public
charges through sickness or other all

boys We're coming here for the purpose
of opening bootblacking shops, and not

1t was not desirable to increase the
population with this class of material,
and we shut down on them. We were

When Horses Have Indigestion.

Horses are subject to attacks Of in
digestion and sometimes the trouble Is
almost wholly due to the bad condition
of b teeth. Every horse on the farm
should have its teeth examined at IN
tervals by a competent veterinarian,
and put In proper condition. II the
stomach trouble is not due to the teeth,
o closely to the diet Of the horse.
Change its food entirely, and see that
the bowels are in good condition. Add
frequent feeds OF root crops to the
daily ration. The r%oughage should be
Of the best quality, and If it is hay
it would be we'll to try m~oistening it
with warm water before feeding, divid-
ing it into two parts and feeding ne
half Of it chopped quite fine.
AS a tonic and digestive give the fol-
lowing: Take two parts Of powdered
wood charcoal, one part each Of
powdered hydrastlc canadensis and
ground ginger root, and one-half part
Of bicarbonate of soda. Mix these in
gradients thoroughly and put a table,
spoonful Of the mixture in the ground
food twice daily. See that the horse
has proper exercise, and that it Is not
worked too long or too steadily. The
stable should be comfortable and we'll
ventilated and the bedding abundant.

Eleven head Of Galloway cattle from
Missouri have been sent to Alaska by
the government to begin an experiment
in stock raising in that northern dis
trict. They will be kept near Cook In
let, to the northward Of which for W.
hundred miles lies the Susitna Valley.
The valley is nearly as broad as it Is
long, and is covered with rich grasses,
redtop and bluestem, which grow luxu-
riantly in summer Salt-grass and
bunch-grass, which is an excellent win
ter food, also are abundant. There
are already some Jersey cattle for dali
ry purposes at Kenai, but they require
too much care to be Of use for general
stock-raising. The Guiloways will be
crossed with famous butter-making
strains, in the hope Of producing a
hardy breed which can withstand the
Alaskan climate and develop q profit

Eight gallons Of water a day is the
average quantity required for a COW
and the milk given IS about 81 per
cent water. In some pastures there is
no water, the COWS being supplied night
and morning, which forces the COW to
drink four gallons at a time in order
to be supplied. AS the COW does not
know thai she must drink four gallons,
she may use less, and she will reduce
her milk supply accordingly.

The Supply Of Potash.

The supply Of Potash.
Most of the potash used In fertilizers
in all countries has come from the Ger
man mines, which, strange to say, seem
to have a monopoly on this mineral.
Lately. however, the attention of sci
entists has been called to this fact and
active search made for deposits else
where, in order to escape the prospect
Of the higher prices which the German
potash mine owners are trying to force
on the fertilizer makers Of the world.
1t appears that there are seven local.
ties in the United States which indl-
cate the presence Of potash mines.
Most of these places are in the far
west, but there is one in New Jersey
and one in Massachusetts. The actual
extent OF potash in these deposits can
be determined only by boring and rath-
er costly development work The prob
ability IS that potash salts are fairly
ommon but the location is hard to
determine on account Of their existence
below the ground with no prominent
signs appearing at the surface.
Avoiding Hog Cholera.
An Illinois stockman tells the follow
ing story anent his experience in rails
Ing hogs amid menacing conditions: Il
believe implicitly in the proposition
that an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure. Our neighbors' hogs
were dying Of cholera and Of course 1T
was only a question Of time, we
thought, when the disease would attack
and decimate our herd. But we took
a stitch in time and 1t saved the entire
herd. We gave the hogs calomel. 1t
acts as a physic, thoroughly purglng
the bowels, and this Is of the most vi
tai Importance. Place ten grains OF
calomel in a piece Of 'crackling' about
the size Of a walnut and see that each
animal gets his dose. One dose is suf-
icient In most cases, but no harm will
be done If another be given a few days
later"
1t is self evident that If proper meas
ures be resorted to prior to the intro
1uction Of the disease into the herd 1t
may be avoided. When once 1t has at
tackled the hogs there Is little or no
hope Of suppressing it. Hog cholera
may successfully be combated, how
ever, by buttressing, as it WERE, the
herd SO that the germs may not find
c%ongenial lodging places. Farmers
