CONCLUSION

We recognize that the foregoing
proposals will undoubtedly seem to
some to go too far and to others not
to go far enough: but we unanimous
ly recommend them to the careful
consideration of the next legislature
and of the people of the state. There
is ground for honest difference of
opinion as to some of the details of
the present plan of government There
are some incongruities which if the
constitution were being generally re-
vised it would probably be thought
best to remove; and there are other
safeguards than those we have recon-
mended being introduced into the
constitutions of other states which
might perhaps profitably be brought
into our own. We have not, how
ever, thought it best to propose too
much.
In the first place, although the
wording of the resolution is broad
enough to permit us to make any pro-
posals we choose, in fact its spirit
did not contemplate that we were to
attempt any general revision of the
constitution. A general revision
should be the work, If not of con-
stitutional convention, at least of a
commission of general and very repre-
sentative character and embody the
result of full, deliberate and open
public discussion.
In the next place, we are not per-
suaded that there is in fact at the
present time and under present con-
ditions a necessity for any such gem
eral revision. If the time lock clause
is eliminated (see Proposal One) and
the possibility exists of Initiating
amendments at any session OF the
legislature, the discussion of consti-
tutional questions will be encouraged :,
and whenever the people desire a gem
eral revision or radical change 1t will
be manifested in some plain way.

Farm Topics

GREEN MATURING ON CLAY SOIL,
BY the following method a certain
Duluth (Minn.) suburbanite has sue
cessfully worked the stir red clay Of
his garden plot into q rich loan pro-
ducing very satisfactory results. The
clay was of the stifrest rcd clay-the
kind that abounds in Northern Min
nesota and Wisconsin, He turned the
sod under in the spring and sowed 1t
to rye and cowpeas as soon as practi-
cable. Then in July, when the growth
was about eighteen inches high,
turned the green stuff under, sowing
the ground again to rye and cowpeas.
In the fan the second growth was
turned under and the ground ma
nured literally.
The next spring he planted the lot
TO potatoes, using the Burbank and
Rose varieties. From this plot, sixty
by sixty feet, he has this fall taken
out thirty-hve bushels of the finer
sort of potatoes. In fact, there have
never been any nicer looking potatoes
shown in Duluth or vicinity. The
tubers were OF good size, solid and the
quality sound. One of the specimens
OF Burbank weighed two pounds. The
crop will no doubt be even better the
second year, for when this soil con-
tanning compounds OF iron can be
MANFRED sufficiently TO produce grain
and vegetables, the iron in the mix
ture adds greatly TO the constitution
OF the plant.-H. Wilbur,

BREEDERS NOTES.

Never bleed a horse overcome with
heat nor allow any one else to do so,
If a horse has a tender mouth the
best bit to use is the easist, the one
that will induce him to offer least re-
sistance. The same kind cannot be
used on all horses; the bit must be
adapted to the mouth. The famous
trotter, Dexter, for instance, had a
very tender mouth, and only the soft
est kind of bit could be used on him.
Mr.. Bonner had one specially made
for him, a plain snafIle covered with
bacon-rind, that he always went well
in. With Sunol he used leather
covered bit. Other horses don't like
that sort of bit, and go better in a
bar bit, or plain steel bit
Mr.. Bonner was once asked; why
is it that the same horse will trot
steady with one driver and break with
another?" you've heard of the
painter who was questioned how he
mixed his colors and what his answer
was, with brains A horses head
and feet must be nicely balanced to
produce best results. and it lies to a
large extent with whoever does the
shoeing and the driving"
After long coaXing, with no little
use of the whip, we have seen 4 balky
horse started by putting a lump OF
earth in its mouth. The mind of the
animal seems to be set on not going
and the point to be gained is to divert
it from the idea entertained, and
this the earth in the mouth does ef'
fectually. So soon as the horse gives
his attention to the getting Of tho
earth out OF fits mouth, 1t forgets Its
balkiness and can be started.-Amer

CARE OF SINK.

In the best regulated families the
sink will occasionally get obstructed.
My remedy takes about five minutes,
saves many plumbers bill and incl
dentally a great deal of temper. At
tach the garden hose to faucet, re-
move sprinkler and insert that end
of hose in sink hole, pack a cloth
around It and hold down tight Turn
on faucet, run a few seconds, remove
hose and suction invariably removes
all obstruction. Once is generally
sufficient for most obstinate cases.

DO ANTS REASON?
ford Ayebury's Belief That They DO
Unshaken.

Although Mr.. Henry Hill at the
London Institution last week would
not allow ants any higher quality
than that OF instinct" Lord Ave-
bury sees no reason to alter the con-
illusions at which he arrived thirty
years ago. after many careful expert
ments. He still believes that these
insects have 1.-THE gift of reason

years." said Lord Avebury to a rep
resontative of this journal on Satur-
day, "but hope to renew my expert
ments before long, and still adhere
to the conclusions which you will find
in my book on Ants, Bees and
Wasps.' In that work l said. When
we see an ant-hill, tenanted by thou
sands of industrious inhabitants eX-
cavating chambers, forming tunnels,
making roads, guarding their home,
gathering food, feeding the young,
tending their domestic animals, each
one fulfilling its duties industriously
and without confusion, 1t is difficult
of reason; and the preceding observa-
lions tend to confirm the opinion that
their mental powers differ from those
OF men not so much in kind as in de-
gree
my principle experiment was one
in which I placed intoxicated ants
near o nest, thirty-eight being friends
and forty strangers TO the colony. OF
the friends, twenty-seven were taken
into the nest and carefully tended,
seven were dropped into the moat
surrounding it, and four were left
alone. OF the strangers thirty we're
dropped into the water, one was left
alone, and nine were taken into the
nest. OF the latter, seven we're again
removed from the nest and carried TO
the water. Could ANYTHING more
clearly show the reasoning power OF
the ants?"
Lord Avebury gives instances with
out number which seem to show that
ants have a higher power than that

honey they secreto,
"This means to me-" said Lord
Avebury, in his historic work, "a

for the winter; but they do more, fol

CTOPPAGE OF MILK.

DR.. David Roberts, the Wisconsin
State Veterinarian, says: The stop
page Of the milk in cow or a heller
is usually brought on by abnormal
conditions or infection. If a cow or
heifer has a sore at the point OF the
teat so that It is difficult to get the
milk from the teat, it is advisable to
wash the teat with an antiseptic solu-
ton, then by dipping a teat plug
into the antiseptic solution, then into
a little healing ointment and passing
it into the point of the teat, permit
ting same to be retained from one
milking to another. This should be
continued until the teat is entirely
healed up and in a normal condition.
Never use a milking tube il it can be
avoided.
II the milk is retained in the quar-
ter and does not come down into the
teat, this will indicate that there is
a closure in the milk duct at the
base of the teat. This can be over
come by washing the teat with the
antiseptic solution, then dipping a
teat sitter, or bistuory, in the same
kind of solution, and passing it up
into the teat through the contracted
sphincter or point Of stoppage, then
by manipulating a thumb screw on
the bistuory a blade is brought into
action. This sphincter is then cut
by drawing down on the teat bis
tuory, in this manner opening up the
closed sphincter, permitting the milk
to pass down into the teat. The blade
of the bistuory is then drawn into the
bistuory and the bistuory removed, in
this way without cutting the point Of
the teat.
This operation should be performed
within a few days after freshening
BY this method a valuable cows quar-
ter can be saved which otherwise
might be lost, but precaution must be
used in washing the teat and the bis
tuory in an antiseptic solution to pre-
vent infection.

Mellington,s Waving PInmes.

One OF the oldest hats that ever
surmounted the statue of hero was
that of the Duke Of Wellington, which
used to stand on the Triumphal Arch
at Hyde Park corner, but is now at
Aldershot. For Wyatt, the artist,
wishing to give the semblance Of life
to inanimate bronze, caused the
plumes of the dukes hat to be so
riveted that they huttered in the
breeze, which made people wonder
whether or not they we're the victims
of an optical illusion. And one re-

collected opposite old Northumber-
land House at Charing Cross on the
report that the stone lion on top had
wagged his tail, and how thousands
went away satisfied that they had

Visiting Cards.

While it. would be difficult to say
just when visiting cards were first
used, we are quite certain Of the fact
that they are not of very ancient date.
Apparently they were adopted in Eng
lish society before they were gener-
ally used on the continent, 1t was
probably about 1900 that they came
into fashion in Great Britain, and it
was as late as 1870 when they We're

THE ICE KEEPS WELL.

From mistaken notions many
hous,keepers wrap the ice in news
paper or a piece Of blanket before
putting it in the ice chamber and then
marvel that though the ice keeps SO
well the refrigerator is never cold.
When it is understood that the princi-
pal of the refrigerators rests upon the
melting and evaporating Of the ice,
the reason becomes plain TO anyone.

SKIRT HANGING WITHOUT HELP.

Finish the skirt all but the hem,
put 1t on and adjust It properly. Take
a yard stick, place one end on the
floor close to the feet and allow the
stick to rest against the front Of the
skirt. Mark where the top Of the
stick comes on the skirt with chalk
and move the stick along TO the side,
being careful to see that It Is always
vertical and not slanting, and mark
with chalk again. Proceed in this
way until a circle Of chalk Is COM
pleted around the skirt. The skirt IS
now marked an even thirty-siX inches
from the floor. Take 1t off and place
it on a table and with the yard stick
mark off the desired length below the
circle of chalk. For instance, # you
want your skirt two inches from the
floor, lay the yard stick on the skirt
with one end at the line of chalk
marks, and at tho other end chalk
two inches less than a yard. This
makes a perfect hanging skirt.-Mrs.
r. L. Zschiesche, in the Boston Post.
