Eastern Views of Western Matters. Dakota Bell Man: The New England Farm Monitor and Daily Guide thinks that it has found a new source of wool supply. Itsays: ‘It would seem asifa rival of the sheep as a wool-producer has arisen. The heretofore worthless western jack-rabbit is being sheared in some quarters, and is said to produce an article of wool equal to lamb’s wool and even finer.” Our eastern friend should not get too sanguine. There is no need to get frightencd and go to selling off your sheep for mutton. If the editor of the Farm Monitor should ever goout on the prairie and see a jack-rabbit whilo it is walking slow, but nevertheless presenting the optical illusion of a gray streak two miles and a half long, we would paobably think that it was all right and that the doom of the sheep was sealed. And it would be if he could shear the streak. The y he walked along down one side of a streak of jack- rabbit for two miles and a half shearing an article of wool equal to lamb’s wool and oven finer, and thon mowed his way back the other side, would be very cool for the sheep. But he can’t do it, you see. He can’t even catch the rabbit and shear that. If our dignitied and schola 'f"Nuw Eng- land cditor could get astride of a quick and active piece of chuin lightning and spur it up lively he might possibly over- take a jack rabbit and shear it as he rode.alongside of it for a couple of hun- dred miles. This seems hardly prac- ticable, however, and it looks as if we would have to worry along with ordi- wool for a while yet. re is another point this able grow- ops and blooded cow journalist i at mixed up on, and that is somew subject of hay five used in many pa ions of the west makes an ex; and a very fair substitute for coul or wood.” He didn’t write thisin the winter by the warmth of a hay fire, though; other- wise when he got through the ink on both pen and paper would have been frozen, and when he liftea ap the pen the parageaph would have peeled off the paper and come up, too, an unrecogniz- able tangle,like molasses poured around on & buckwheat cake.

Some Items of Interest to the Tiller B of the Soil. THE FARMER'S INSTITUTE. Feeding for Lean Meat—Forest Tree Seeds—General Stock Notes— Kints and Suggese tions. Feeding For Lean Meat. Philadelphia Record; Custom has long prompted the farmer to feed his carbo-hydrates (fat-forming foods), corn being the principal® substance used, it being supposed that heavy weights could not be obtained without excessive fat, but now light has been thrown on the system in the recent experiments by Prof. Henry, of the Wisconsin ex- periment station, given in the Farm and Home, which is very valuable to every farmer in the country. He found that by foeding to obtain the largest pro- portion of lean meat not only the health of the animals was promoted but greater weight obtained. He selocted six pigs. and began with thom when they were one hundred days old. Up to the beginning of the trial the pigs had all been fed alike, from the same trough, with a mixture composed of shorts, corn meal, buttermilk and skim milk, the pigs having been cross-bred Jorsoy reds and Poland-Chinas. The pigs were divided into lots, of three each. The first (lot A) was fed a ration composed of six parts dried blood, six parts of shorts and fourteen parts of skim milk, by weight, while the second lot (B) were fed all the corn meal they could consume. They had small back yards for exercise, and wero fed for 136 days. Lot A consumed in the 136 da; )2 pounds of skim milk, 1415 pounds of shorts and 236 pounds of dried blood, while lot B consumed 1690 pounds of corn meal, Of the actual digestible matter of the food that of lot A con- tained 428 pounds of musclemaking food (protein( and $33 pounds of fat-produc- ing food (carbo-hydrates), and that of lot B contained 153. pounds of muscle- roducing food and 1193 pounds of fut- orming food. The weights and rela- tive proportions of lenn and fat on the o sos of each lot were: Live weight of lot A, 669 pounds; dressed weight, 542% pounds; external fat, 150 pounds; lean ment, 244 pounds; live weight of lot B, idst drossed weight, 451 pound al fat, 156 pounds, and lean meat, 1784 pounds. The hogs fed for lean meats were 19 per cent heavier when alive, the carcasses when dressed were 21 per cent heavier, the hones 28 per cent heavier, the tenderloin muscles 88 por cent heavier and the blood 58 per cent heavier. Of all the meat that could be cut from the carcasses of lot A only 38 per cent was fat, while the fat from’ lot B was 86 per cent. The professor has demonstrated that by a judicious system of feeding hogs can be maee to contain alarger proportion of lean meat and weigh more in the same period of time than hogs fed exclusively for fat, but he fails to give the proportionate cost of the food, which is the most important item. The question with farmers is whether a lean meated hog can be pro- duced with as little cost as one contain- ing more fat and of the same weight. Dried blood cannot be easily obtained on.some farmsat a low cost, beinga staple product, will bo given the pref- erence, The experiments, howeverare some of the most valuable ever conduct- ed, and will at some future time work a revolution in the present system of swane feeding. Forest Tree Seeds. ‘Western Farmer: Many of those who attempt to raise forest trees from the sced meat with disappointment from not preserving the seeds properly, or from not knowing that some trees ripen their seed in spring or early in summer, and that these must be sown as soon as ripe. Success in raising forest trees from seeds depends upon having the seeds properly preserved durfng the winter. hey must not be allowed to get to dry, nor must the moisture and temperature be such that germunation will be com- menced beforo they are sown, nor should they bo exposed to sucly i low tempora: ture that the vitality of the embryo will be impaired. When in doubt how to best preserve n treo seed mix it with about twice its bulk of damp sand—not wet sand, but good sharp sand, just as it is dug out of a bank. The seed thus mixed with sand should be placed where it will be vt an even temperature of a fow degrees above freezing, and where mice or other vermin may not get at it. Nuts of the hard-shelled kind especially should not be allowed to get br,v: the hickories, walnuts and butternuts should be placed in heaps of a few bushels, and carefully covered with sods from an old pusture, and the turf covered with severai inches of earth. If turf is not readily procured, cover the heap with straw, and place on this several inches of soil. These heaps must be in a dry place, where water will not accumulate. and in one where vermin will not di turb them. Chestnuts, which are ver: apt to get too dry, may be preserved in sand, us mentioned above. Farmer's Institute, Rural World: The scason rapidly ap- proaches in which the agriculturists of the country will meet together to con- sult with each other and talk over and discuss questions appertaihing to their general business. Of these the Grange and kindred associations will take a leading part, and will do more to add to their numbers, develop their own in- perpetuate the existence of i they be- terests o the seve bodies to wh long, than wnything else. institute is another and very thing. Generally speaking it is under the management of the state board of agriculture, and affords the professors of the agricultural college an opportun- S Tt a2 TP LAy e ll|f’ to them face to face about their the- ories and practices, their experiments and results, and generally bring the class-room, the labratory and the expe- riment to the farmer, and within speak- ing uistance, that all who wish may ask questions, question results, make points of of home experience and discuss mat- ters generally. The Farmers' institute is o thing of recent birth, but the most effective means to an end yet reached. Itaffords all, high and low, learned in the college and on the farm, an opportunity to meet on a level and discuss, not only their experiences, but their ideas and impressions, and herein is the value of the institute idea, for ‘“‘as iron sharpen- eth iron, so the Countenance of man his friend,” and after the same fashion is eloped the wit und wisdom of practi- cal and experimental farming at such meetings as these. En Hints and Suggestions, Every farmer will find it to his advan- age to lay in alarge supply of dry warth for winter use, It .,h..uH l}3 kept under cover, and may be used in the stalls or wherever an absorbent will be required. he Hubbard squash is a good winter ot IRIDAY. NOVEMBER 4, 1887, keeper, and may bo stored in the barn or cellar, where the tomperature does not fluctuate. - It is excellent, both for stock and for the table. Geese lay from fifteen to forty eggs in a sonson, the best breed for laying be- ing the White China, while for market and feathers the Embden is considered superior. All perches and nests in the hen- house should be so arranged as to be easily taken out and saturated with ker- geene oil, which is u sure remedy for ice. Clean up all the dead vines of pota- toes, pumpkins. ete., and if they be dry enough burn them. 1f partially green throw them on the manure heap. Sows that have farrowed can easily wean off the pigs and get in good condi- tion to be fatted for slaughter by Christ- mas. It is too late in the scason to use them as breeders, as no more litlers should come in_before spring, and it will not pay to keep the sows over &0 long. Where a sow is an exceptionally good mother, however, ehe should bo retained. In saving the pumpkins store ml}ly those that are ripe and fully maturcd. Should any be imperfect or partially ripe only, cook them and add ground grain to the mess. By thus disposing of the inferior ones now only the best will be kept over for winter. The seeds of pumpkins should be removed before feeding, as they are injurious. A sick horso is as unfit to work as is a gick man, and animals that are kept housed most of the time are easily in- jured by exposure tostorms. It is not advisable to blanket horses in stables, except for a little while when brought in after working and when wet cither from sweat or rain. The change to a horse blanketed in the stable when taken out in cold or stormy weather makes the animal espegially liable to take cold. In a barn the natural cover- ing of hair over a horse is suflicient. Animals oxposed to the storms and changes of weather incident to farm work should not be clipped. Seed corn for noxt year should be se- lected from the best stalks, and only the choicest ears and grains should be chosen. The ears should he kept thoroughly dry and hung where they will not froeze, and a damp place must be avoided. The late sweet_corn should be dried for winter use. If preferred, however, it may be cooked and sealed in glass air- tight jars, Lima beans will also keep in a green condition if tresied in the same manner. Pigs must be cared for in bad weather, or else you can’t expect much of them. They should have warm, dry beds. to sleep inj if you cannot fiet any- thing better good dry straw will do to make their beds of, but leaves are much boetter. Sleeping in straw, especially if the straw be wet, will give them tho mange. Farmers not crowded by their neces- sities should slack up on” market crops when it don't pay to grow them, seed with clover and plow it in to make the land more productive when it does pay. Many farmers would profit in_the long run by plowing and cultivating their foul fields several;times during the scason without raising a crop. The prac- tice of sowing ‘‘wheat after wheat, grain crop after grain crop,” without secding to grass, has helped materially overload the market, impoverishing farmers and their land, too. Give the hens a variety of food. Throw them a lock of early cut hay oc- casionally. ‘They seem to prefor June grass or red-top. ‘When the comb of afowl is large and bright colored, showing it to be full of blood and shaking with every activity of the bird, she is in a healthy laying condition. Clover hay is one of the best of foods for sheep. Sheep that are old and out of condition will improve surprisingly on clover hay, and sometimes become quite fleshy. Unclean eggs should be washed or wiped when gathered. The shells are porous, and pungent filth may penetrate and spoil the meat. Eggs forlong keep- ing should not be washed, only wipvh‘ SStripping” the cow of the last milk in the udder is better than to allow her to retain a portion. She remains in service longer, while the last milk is said to bo the richest. It frequently happens that a coww..dries off sooner when not completely milked than would have been the case had it been stripped. The milking should be done at regu- ar periods. The cows would soon be- come accustomed to the regularity. They could in that manner be taught to come up from the pasture at certain hours. All young animals need room for ey ere Calves should not be too clos confined when being fed by hand. Col require: even more room, as they fond of galloping around an inclosure. A mixture of eight pounds of corn meal, three pounds linseed meal and six pounds wheat bran, with as much hay as o steer can cat, is excellent ration for fattening ———— At Peace.

After a course of the national tonic and al- terative, the liver and bowels, always more or less disordered during a pro- longed attack of indigestion, re their functions and become regular.

Mr. Dean snys: Some ten, days ago I was taken with a very violent pain in the small of my back. It was so severe that I could hardly breathe; every movement caused great agony. 1 finally found out it was lumbago. ‘Being entirely helpless, a friend sent to a druggist” and got two Allcock’s Porous Plasters; the ' med and applied to m one above the other. * In half an hour, tomy great delight and surprise, 1 found the pain began to abate.

A Conservative Review of the Field in the Empire State. COOL CALCULATION OF RESULTS New York Ordinarily Democratic, But the Labor Vote This Year Prob- ably Insures Republican V tory—The National Outcome. NEW YORK, Oct. 81.—[Correspondence of the Ber.]—The political situation in this state this fall is perhaps the most remarkablo ever presented to the voters. and the most important in its bearing on the future of the two great parties who will again struggle for national supremacy next year, Shrewd observers sce very clearly now that the result of the next presidential election will be clearly foreshadowed in the returns of the election that will be decided here on the 8th of next Novem- ber. “As New York state goes, so goes the nation” is an ophorism well sustained in the experienco of every presidential election of recent times. And every indication tends to show that as New York state goes in 1887 so will it go in 1888, But how will New York go in 18879 The man who a%t this writing can an- swor this question promptly, success- fully and without qualification may be said to be a prophet wiso in his day and tion. For, never was there a al contest involving so many and uncertain conditions as the straggle for votes that is now waging hotly from end to ond of the great com- monwealth, Ordinavily the _state might be, set down as demo- tic, and® this year the democrats ave placed in nomination what is gen- erally regarded as an excoptionally strong democratic tickot, The republi- can ticket, headed by Colongl Fred Grant, tho not particularly distin- guished son of a distinguished father, is acklowledged to be not over strong, but it has enlisted the sympathy and services of Senators Evarts and Hiscock and the best republican orators of the state, who are whooping it up to the voters of the interior n the most burly fashion. But the democratio campain managers are not benind them in energy or oratory, and are also mak- ing the liveliest kind of a lively cam- paign through the stato. Keeping in mind_then tho fact that the state is ordinarily democratic, were there no directing influences, it would be safe to gambie on the proposition that Frederick Cook, the democrat, and or not Frederick Grant, the frepub- lican, would bo the mnext sec- retary of state. But there are diverting influences. Influences novel and peculiar, which are tending to make this the most interesting cam- paign of recent years and the most im- portant in this bearing on the national campalgn of next year. The hoad and chief of these influences is Henry @ecorge and the united labor party. Mr. George, in his candidacy for secre- tary of state, is making a fight that is only comparable in its marvelous vigor and headway with. the astound- ing six weeks' campaign for the mayoralty he made in New York lust year when he polled 68,000 vote without organization against a united press and the well managed machinery of both of the old parties. That vote was generally regarded as a protest against corrupt methods in local politics rather than an endorsement of the land taxation reform which is the chief item of Mr. George's political creed. But since then the united labor party has been thoroughly organized in every ward of the big cities of New York and Breoklyn. In the interior the move- ment is yet, to a large extent, in em- bryo, although in large industrial centres like Rochester, Troy and Al- Vany, it appears to have made much headway. At least one million votes will be polled in the state this fall, and of this number conservative ealculators are disposed to give Mr. Geoy His partisans claim 200,000." Two-thirds of the total labor vote will probably be polled in the cities of New York and 3rooklyn, and two-thirds of the total vote may be set down as coming from democratic_ sources. This defection from the democrat ranks would be eusily sufficed to insure the cicetion of ublican state ticket beyond pos- sibility of doubt were it not for another uncertain element in the contest. That uncertainty is the prohibition vote. The prohibitionists polled 85,000 votes in the state last year. This year they are unquestionably stronger than ever before, and they hive been making a warm and enthusiastic canvass of the state. A safe estimate of the prohibi- tion strength is to place it at 50,000 Thirty-five thousand of ' these votes at least will come from republican sources. But as the nominal democratic majority in the state cannot be put at higher than 25,000, and as the democratic de- sertion to the George ticket appears to be at least twice what the republican defection to the prohibitionists is, it may be set down as a_reasonable cer- tainty that New York will go republican this year. And how about next year? ivery sign of the times is that the labor vote is growing steadily. The principle of taxation that Mr. George and Dr. MeGlynn and the other effect- ive orators of the party are preaching vidently a thing that has come to stay and grow. Their campaign in the interior this year is already being made the basis for a great educational move- ment by which every new convert is learning to be a partisan and a pra cal politician at the same time. This educational movement will be shed during the year to come so that the new party may make an effective fight for the governorship next year. And it is a perfeetly conservative assertion to make, in view of the marvelous growth of the new idea, that the possibilities of the george people getting the gover- norship are not slim. The editor of the BEE knows that the writer of this prog- nostication is not a reckless calculator, ashe knows thatthe writre facilities for figuring as closely #s anybody in the state of New York. What will a great Inbor vote in New York mean next year? In view of the strong probability that there will be no labor candidate for the presidency, it will mean that the thirty- five electorial votes in the Empire stute will be given to the republicans. And as New York state goes, so gocs the nation. C. O'C. HENNESSY, e Ringing Noises.

A WONDERFUL RIVER. Animal Remains Dipped in it Become Like Marble. A Pine City special to the St. Paul Globe sn; There are two gentlemen temperarily stopping here who have been spending the summer in the north- wost territory. They report a river of small volume, tributary to the Saskat- chewan, whose waters are sothoroughly impregnated with carbonate of limo that ssy substance immersed therein imine |ulvl{ turns tosteno. They have many specimens of petrified ~ wood, leaves, ete., showing the exact toxturo of the original article. A sirloin steak of beef immersed in the water for a few momonts comes out rugged and solid and suitablo to take rank with the best quality of building stone. Animals accidentally killed are found in its wators hardened and preserved. The body of an officor in the regular army, killed in an Indian skirmish and loft beneath the immortalizing waters of this placid stream, was found months after, petrified with such complotenoss that it resembled the finest grade of Parian marble, and the features re- tained such distinctness that ho was readily recognized by even casual ac- quainfances. These discoveries have led to the idea of forming a syndicate to utilize this stream and do away with tho repulsive idea of cremation and also the attendant horrors of the tomb. The company can be called the Great North- westoan Petrifaction association (lim- ited), and its business might consist in providing a cheap rate of transportation, or perhaps running a regular cadavor train transcontinentally, damming the | waters of the river and anchoring the inanimote freight until satura- tion does its complete work, and roturning them to their surviving friends, with texture and symmotry far surpassing any known work of art. This would do away with all the ‘‘base uses,” and prepare future imperial Jwsars to hcn.ulih' and adorn their an- cestral homes, instead of becoming a mere lump of plastic matevial, which would ouly serve to “‘stop a hole to keep the wind away.” Our friends can como back from tho hands of this syndicate with a durability that will rival any of the sedimentary rocks, and be conspicu- ously set up to watch with their agate oyes the manuer in which their hoirs and assigns manage the pavental estates. ‘Wo who live to be great-grandfathers may do service at the front gates of our worthy descendants as hitching posts, and the line fences of future gonera- tions may be composed of the serried columns of their ndamantine ancestors. The art possossed by the ancient Bgyp- tinns pales intoa misorable insigniti- cance when compared with this new process.

New York Sun: Getting rid of the surplus flosh that keeps him from rid- ing is not the pleasantest task for a jockey. especially if he has been in the saddle several years, like Fitzpatrick, who is the heavy-weight among the riders in the east. It isnotonly difti- cult, but extremely dangerous, and it is the more 80 when it is done over night to get down to the minimum weight for a next day mount. Two_or three years ago McLaughlin reduced his flesh nine pounds in one day in order to ride Ford- lmm in his great match race. That was when he was young, though, and will- ing to make any sacrifice to win such an event. He could not stand such phys- ical exhaustion to-day. Bobby Swim, who was the greatest jockey on the American turf ten or n dozen years ago, reduced his weight eleven pounds in one nightwhen he was riding on the Mobile, Ala., course. Swim was riding for Price McGrath, who was known as the Irish Prince from the fact that ho always ap- at the Lexington track on a suit of green broad- opening cloth. beeame dissipated, and when the great race between Mujor Thomas’ Himyar and Cammie F. was was refused the mount on Himyar, He thercupon went to the owners of Cammie I'. and offered to ride that horse for nothing if he lost and $500 if he won. This was the day before the race, and the jockey would have toreduce his weight cleven pounds to ride Cammie F., but nothing daunted the ‘“jock” set about the work, his offer being gladly accepted. Thut might Swim was rolled in three heavy blank- ats, after having taken a Turkish bath. Then he was laid out for the greater part of the night before a blazing wood fire, and sweated until the blankets had to be chadged. TIn the morning he was given another Turkish bath. When he entered the paddock in the morning he was 0 weak ho had to be supported to the saddle. He won on Cammie I, finishing a length before Himyar, who had been a heavy favorite. ——— At a ball at Oldtown, Me., recently given by the governor of the Maine lni- dians, one handsome young squaw was ly dazzling in & very bocoming cos- tume of blue satin and old gold plush, with an elaborately embroidered front to the skirt, and another wore a dress of combined bright scarlet and bright bright blue. run, Swim TOLL WEIGHT PURE is used dorsed s the Strongest, Dr, Price’s tho only Baking Pow 4 R0t ontain Ammonta, Limeor A um. 8old only 1 oA, .

SNEEZING CATARRH. ‘What It Means, How It Whar It Is, Yon gneeze when yon gotup in the morning you try to sneeze your nose off_every time you are exposed to the least drats of air. You have a fullness over the front of the forehead, and tho nose feels as if there was a plig in each nos- tril, which you cannot dislodge. Y5u blow your nose until your ears crack, but it_don't do’any good, and the only result is that you succeed in ietting up & very red nose, and you go irritate the lining membrane of that orgin that you are unuble to breathe through it at wll.
