To be Ready by Spring.

The work on the bikes will be fin
ished by spring, it is hoped, and the
property of the owners interested,
which lies in bend of the Missouri
river, will then be surrounded by a
levee rising sixteen feet above the
normal level of the river and three
feet above high water mark. An in
land levee of the same height will
protect the tracts from the floods
and streams from the bluffs. Proper
ty owners who will be benefited will
include the Burlington railroad, which
owns 100 acres, the Wabash railroad
and the Union Depot Bridge and Ter
minal Company, which own right-of-
way across the property, about TWEEN
ty acres each. These three will bear
the largest proportion of the cot OF
the levees, about $S50,000, and the re-
mainder of the property benefited
will pay about 800 an acre.

New York. April 2s.-The storm of IL

some time past. Professional sentiment

them the advantage and carried prices
rapidly downward when they got start

The position in United States Steel was
accepted as typical of the whole mar

Evidence that liquidation was in progress
in United States Steel was considered
conclusive. That fact that so favorable a
development as the increase in the divi-
dend on that stock should be taken ad-
vantage Of to push the selling demon
strated the over-extended speculation in
it. This selling might be prompted by
the pressure of lenders of money to car
ry the stock or by fears over the trade
prospects on the part of holders. Signs
Of both motives were observable in the
calling Of loans by the banks and the rise
in the call loan rate and in the move
ment amongst iron producers to curtail
products and thus check the excessive
supplies which are forcing prices down

trade by the accepted authorities in the
trade centered attention ON this tendency
today and made a strong influence in the

Anxiety is felt, nevertheless, over the
conduct of this defation. The solicitude
expressed today over the situation in the
cotton market is an example of this feel
ing. Tomorrow being first notice day in
the cotton market, involves the obliga-
ton Of buyers of cotton to accept deliv-

HORSES.
CONTINUED from last Friday


Wheat and rye should be used SPAR
ingly as feed for horses. If fed alone,
look ont for founder or digestive ills.
They should always be ground and
fed mixed with ether grains. but then
only in small proportion.
Bran is useful as a mixture with
other feeds, not so much as a regular
feed, hut To constitute a change, by
being mixed with other grains. IL is
particularly valuable given as warm
mash. but always feed it in sweet
condition.
Corn and meal are not to he con-
sidered as a regular or exclusive feed
for horses Corn on the cob is fire.
onently fed to young horses with
lampas Old corn should be soaked in
clean, cold water for half a day. or it
should be cracked and fed With oats.
Oats and corn make good feed for
heavy, hard worked horses. Care
should be exercised in feeding corn
to a horse not accustomed to it, small
quantities only at first, or Indigestion
will follow.
LinSeed meal is often used with other
food, and where laxative condition
is desired, it is very desirable. A little
in the water makes an excellent drink
in infamed conditions of digestive and
urinary organs.
Potatoes. boiled, are a good root to
feed occasionally. Beets are not much
used for horses. while carrots make
the best ration. especially during sick
ness, they act on the appetite. and act
in q wonderful maner on the bowels,
kidneys and urinary organs.
Grass. Of course. is natures feed for
horses. but only when the horse is
idle will grass sustain his strength.
FIc must have grain when in harness.

when he can have access for II week
or more To a good rest and feed of
grass.
Referring to hay. Timothy gives the
best returns, and if cut when fed II
will pay Tor the trouble. Mnsty or
bad hay should never be used for feed.
Glover hay is TOO rich, often causes in

In selecting the horse feed il should

passes out of the stomach quicker than
oats. It is obvious the hay should
be fed first lest the oats be carried

minutes before feeding and never feed
too soon after hard work.

DIAMONDS IN ARKANSAS.
More Than 700 Diamonds Have Been
Found, Largest Weighing 6La carats.

For the first time in the geologic
history of North America. diamonds
have been found in the original
matrix-in Arkansas. Three COM
panies already are operating in the
field and more than 200 diamonds have
been found, the largest Of them
weighing six and one-half carats, says
the Nav Technical World Magazine
While, of course, many of the stones
are small and almost worthless, that
is a characteristic Of every diamond
field. The larger stones. however. are
of excellent quality and cut into fin
ished gems with no more than the
average loss in weight. They range in
color from the purest blue white to
canary yellow and brown.
Only the surface Of the diamond
field has been touched, and whether
untold riches lie beneath it only time
can tell. For the present the indica-
tons all favor the belief that the
mine will become an important factc:-
in the diamond supply Of the United
States.
That the Arkansas diamonds are
not the accidental relics Of a bygohe
glacial age and that the field is both
large and potentially immensely
profitable has been thoroughly estab-
lislIed The most widely known dia-
mond experts in the United States
have pronounced the Arkansas gems
fully the equal of the South African
product and equally eminent geolo-
gists have defined the area in which
they are found and pronounced II a
true diamond crater, similar to the
great diamond mines in South Africa,
the peridotite formation in each being
essentially similar.
