One variety of corn cannot ' be recommended generally, for near ly every locality requires a different , kind. Geucrally one can seleot the L largest variety that grows in his sec \ tion, for the silo requires corn that V will make a heavy growth, and gives ' n great yield of ears and fodder. • Suoh corn is the ideal one for this i work. Tho biggest crop to the acre -is the best for generally suoh oorn . will keep as well as the small crops. After the proper selection of the - variety the corn should be drillod ip the field in rows front three to four S. feet apart according to Its also and i yield, some of the smaller varieties oan be planted as close - as tho mini mum distance^ while the very large stalked kinds wilt need the maximum distance between the rows In drill - lag it one kernel should he dropped from seven to nine Inches apart in rows according to the kind. The cultivation of the silage corn will always produce better- results when it is attended to quite fre quently during the growing season. It should be surface cultivation how L ever, rarely extending down more than an ineh or two. The weeder .. should also be put to work, and after this has torn up the weeds a crop of clover oan be spread between the * rows This will save a year in the rotation, and not Injure the growth of the corn. The clover will not grow much during the growth of the corn, but when it is harvested for tho sila - the clover will Bpring up rapidly, covering the whole ground in a short time. ' In this way there is no ios in grow ing.the silage on the fieit, for: the land would have to be cultivated for tho clover crop If not for tho corn. Tlio corn 1* authored early in tho sea ron, long boforo tho Hold crop1' are, mid this still loaves a considerable period for the clover crop to grow be fore cold woather.

Kour Unities of Huy. A correspondent of tho O. J. Farmer says thoro aro four grados of Hay: First that which is poa greon in color, out boforo tho grass ripens nnd aftor tho dew has gono o(t In tho morning, allowed to wait, cocked and covered with caps let stand two or thi'oo days, thon sprond out so tho-air may olroulato freoly. aftor that h/uilod to tho barn boforo ulght. that no dow should touch it. Such hay will romnin green nnd will bo most roaally eaten by all kinds of stock. It Is curod ns nearly as possible in shndo. bunco Its great feeding value nnd good color. Second, that cut like above but nllowod to cure In tho sun. It is good hay but not so good us tho first described. Third, that out as above but which has been ex posed to dews, rains! eta This is much roducod in both feeding value and appoaranco. Fourth, the hay which was allowed to get well ripened boforo the cutting. The vitality, or that which gives It value as a forage plant. Is concentrated In the seed, thus making tho Btalks or little valuo as fodder. Tho host time in my opinion, to cut hay, Is when it has oomplotod Its growth but before it begins to chango color. If cured like that first described and kept from light and rath, It will remain bright groen. Poultry l'loklngs. I’uro bred fowts will produce more flesh and more eggs than mongrels. Tho food of young pullets should be flesh rather than of fat forming. If necessary to feed oorn meal to a slok fowl always scald It thoroughly. One of the chief merits of tho Langshans Is that It Is a good table fowl. I.earn bow to breed before under taking to sell fowls for breeding pur poses. Never allow ducklings free access to water until they are six weoks old at least A dose of raw chopped onions giv en night and morning will usually cure a cold. Feed little chickens a little at a time but feed them several times dur ing tho day. Fumigating the poultry house is one of tho cosiest ways of killing .out tho red mites. Another advantage with fowls on the farm ts that they got plenty of exercise hunting food. Boards a foot wide sot on edge i at to form a square make a good pi for duoks and goslings. Young' poultry for market must 1 kept growing from tho time they a .hatched until ready to soil.

Greasy cooking utensils, after b ing rubbod off with paper, should 1 allowed to stand with a little wat and ammonia in them, and they w be, easier to oleau. A plain but qulok and delicious soup may bo made by using a can of corn j with a small piece of pork. This warmed up quickly, with a little milk added. Is very good. Fried eels should be slightly salted before cooking. Do not cover-them with batter, but dredge thorn’ with just flour enough to absorb all moist ura then cover them with boiling lard. * An excellent salad of cold boiled potatoes cut into slices about an inch thick may be made with thin slices of fresh beet roqt, and onions cut very thin, and very littlo of them, with dressing. Potatoes should be boiled In their jackets in salt water. After they are cooked through, the cover of the ket tle should be drawn half way otf and the potatoes allowed to dry. Aftor this thoy can be fixed In any of the many ways, or can bo served that way. When putting the clothes to soak over night it is well to rub the most soiled places and the wrist and collar bands with soap and to rub out or take out all spota.

A rise of two more Inches will flood a number of basements containing valua ble goods, and merchants arc busy re moving tlicir merchandise to higher ground. The waves of the river now lap the track of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern lino on Front street The Diamond Jo boat frelght qouse is entirely surrounded and the water is flvo feet deep oil the office floor. The Carthage and Quincy branch of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy road has four more inches to spare, but the embankment being a sand-flll is fast crumbling away and the traffic maybe suspended at any time. No trains have been running on tlio (lalva branch of[ the Burlington system since Sat urday on account of high wator and washouts botweeu (lladstone and Keithsburg.

All low lying factories hero and Across the river are closed. Tlio Milwaukee road got a trnin in and out hero yesterday, the first since last Wednesday. The Rock Island & Peoria road in Illi nois is cut off and covered for several milos. The southwest line of the Itock Island out of here is aban doned from hero to Muscatine, thirty live miles. The Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern is four feet uod^r water in tills city and lands passengera by tlio Rock Island. The gas works here wure overflowed last night and the ' tights cut off. Hundreds of men are 1 working on levees iji Rock Island and on Muscatine island and will probably succeed in keeping tlio water out. Thousands of cords of wood are swept away along tho river and there are other losses. A violent storm swept across here last night, but no rise fol lowed it. ' There is now a fuel famine here. The supply of coal is almost gone and little is in sight. The min ing roads are overflowed. Quincy, III., June 20.—Since Satur day the river has risen fourteen inches, compelling the St. Louis, Keokuk S; Northwestern to abandon its tracks be-' tween hero and Keokuk. Rock Island, 111., June 29.—A new high water mark has been established in the Mississippi here. The river at-; tatned a maximum height of 194-10, which is one-fifth of a foot Of being A foot higher than it bas ever been be fore. The wafer is gradually receding, though much of the city Is inundated and the town of Milun, south of here, is completely engnlfcd. Jumes Post, a citizen of that pluce, while attempting to ford a street near the river was oar ried by the swift enrront in Rock river and drowned. St. Louis, Mo., June 29.—Owing to the heavy rains in the upper Mississippi valley the Missouri and Mississippi rivers are once more on a rampage. The lower Missouri river is rising rapidly, which means a rise of two feet at this point by Thursday morning.

The Russians have had tome reason of late to believe i\"yt the motive for this courtesy is ' case of vessels from Finland, witch Is part of the Russian Empire, was not always merely one of compliment and that the Finns wished the Germans to understand that they preferred Ger many to Russia. Yesterday, therefore, the Russian consul at Lubcck boarded the Finnish steamer Hebe as it was en tering the port with the German flog Hying and demanded that the captain lower the German colors and run up the Russian colors in thoir place. The Finnish captain of the Hebe demurred, saying it would look like an insult on his part to the Oerman authorities. The Russian consul thereupon threat ened that unless the captain complied he would bo punished on his return to Russian jurisdiction. The captain con cluded to obey, and the German flag came down and the Russian flag went up in its place. All Finnish vessels now entering German ports are treated n a similar manner.

Letters were read from Fielden and Schwab in which the admission that their manner of agita tion was wrong is made and sugges tions are given about working for the pardons. __ OPPOSE ANTI-OPTION. Delegation or New York Brokers Leave for Washington to. Fight It. New York, Juno 38.—The principal event in the minds of the produce and cotton exclmuge members to-day was the departure of the New York brokers who are to appear be fore the senate judiciary commit tee in Washlpgton in opposition to the Hatch anti-option bill. President Evan Thomas of the produce exchange said that the delegation of business men would endeavor to convince the Judiciary committee that the proposed law is unconstitutional. He .does not think the hill will ever pass. In fact, he and his associates have entertained strong hopes all along that the legal questions involved were such that an adverse .report would be made to the Senate. HAD CRUSHED HIS SKULL. 'A Lnnstle Tarrarliei the FtHtngen on • Train end Dies In Jail. Albuquerque, N. M.. June S3.—On yesterday’s passenger train from the south a crazy man giving his name as : Turner A. Vaughn was taken off and placed in the city jail. He got on the train at El Paso, Tex., and for over one hundred miles he terrorized the passen gers and broke many glasses out of the windows. During the night the other inmateB of the jail were aroused by Vaughn fighting the walls of his cell, At the same time remarking that they were after him. He would dodge his head as if some person had struck him and finally fell, striking his head against the hard cement floor. This morning when Jailer Thier went to his cell he wafc surprised to find Vaughn dead. The fall had crushed his skulL Vaughn was from Grand Pass, Mo. To Try the Stockmen. Cheyenne, Wyo., June 2a—It is nine weeks since the stockmen were brought to Fort Russell as prisoners. Complaints charging the murder of Rae and Champion and the burning of Nolan’s ranch have finally been lodged and Gov. Barber has wired the John son county people that he is ready to deliver to them the prisoners under conditions. The reply was that a deputy would start for this city at once. The restrictions of change of custody are that the men shall not be taken into the northern country until law and order are c upletcly restored. It now seems likely that the men will be arraigned before Judge Blake at Laramine within a week. An appli cation for a chang^of venue will be ! made at once. Mexican Electors Chosen* City or Mexico, June 28.—The gen eral election for electors who will in July vote for candidates for president occurred in this city yesterday. There was no excitement or demonstration of auy kind. No one doubts that the choice of the great majority of electors will fall on Gen. Diaz. Even the op position newspapers declare that the government will permit entire freedom of expression of popular sentiment. Dual Between Toughs. !

PmST-CLASS HORSES ALWAYS t IN DEMAND. qonimoii Stock Will Probably Depreciate r —Money for the Children— llortl- ' cnltnral Hint* and Boom ; \ £ '. L^-V,.’5' Helps. ProOtable Breeding of Bone*. It is reported that oommon, under sized. poorly br«d horses are soiling in Australia at |5 to #0 en.-h. Aust-alia is overrun with unsalable horses They are sold to factories for boiling down into glue and other products. The question is raised, will it pay Australia to ship their horses to the United States? It must not bo inferred, however. • that first-class horses are of no value even in that country, says the Amer ican Horse Breeder. It Is only the common stock that is a nuisance. The article may set some American breeders to thinking. There Is noth ing in it however, that need alarm those who are raising sound, well shaped, good-shod, handsome, stylish roadsters and carriage horses, or trotters that can go out and win money, or, even please some city gentleman who likes to drive a fast trotting roadster. There will always be a market at good prices for the best of such animals as these. Whether thoro is immediate danger of an over-production in this country of the common class of horses suitable only for horse cars and general farm work Is a question that breeders should weigh carefully. It certainly looks now us though tho country should bo so over-stocked with, thio class in loss than 10 years that they will not sell at maturity for nearly as much as the actual cost of raising thorn here in Now England. Many think and argue differently, however. Thoy base' their conclusions upon the fact that when the old stage coach was supplanted by the railroad car It was predicted that horses could hardly be given away In a fow years. On the contrary, thoy were in better demand, and prioes have constantly advanced. • The conditions have changed ma terially, however, since that time. Then the oountry was comparatively new. As rich grain-producing sec tions traversed oy railroads wore opened up for cultivation and the re- ' sources of the country wero developed, horses were needed to transport the products of the interior to the various railroad stations. Cities multiplied rapidly all over the land, and horse ears were brought into use. These gave employment to a vast army of a common grade of horses, so that the supply was not in excess of the demand. A four years’ war also helped materially to pre vent a surplus. There is little probability that so large a tract of grain and corn rais ing country will be opened up during tho next half contury as has been in tho past fifty years. Narrow gauge railroads are being pushed into the heart of the lumber regions, so that tho numbor of horses required to car ry on this industry will not bo so great relatively In the future as it has been in the past Electricity is fast taking the place of horses for propelling street cars in all the large cities and many of tho small ones. Nearly all manufactur ing industries are being located right on the lines of railroads, and most of thorn have sidetracks extending to their very doors. So that while the population of tho country is increas ing rapidly, yet the. conditions have changed so that the demand for the common grades of horses for trans portation purposes will not be so great relatively in proportion to popu lation in the future as it has in the past. " ' There has never been a time when so large a proportion of tho farmers from Maine to California were engaged in raising horse stock as at present. The low prices of cattle and sheep, and the high prices of horses during the past few years, have caused many Northern farmers to give up the rais ing of beef and mutton, and go to breeding horses. There has beon a groat change in this direction during the past two or three years, tho effect of which will not be felt, howeveir for three or four years to come, as it takes about six years from tho time the mare is mated before the produce is sufficiently matured to be put to constant labor. Present indications are that a few years hence the price of horses suita ble only for street cars and ordinary light work are liable to be’consid erably lower than now. Tho outlook for' small-sized, unsound. Inferior stock Is still more gloomy, though we earnestly hope that sueh a state of af fairs as exists in Australia may never be seen here. Those who have been and are now breeding either first-olass carriag^ horses or roadsters have little cause for alarm. Those who are so fortun ate as to raise first-olass trotters that can go out and win races will always find a demand for the best of that class at good paying prices. There is no more healthy recreation than riding on the road. There is nothing so sure to banish vexatious care from the minds of business or professional men as a drive behind a cheerful, lively stepping roadster, that can pull »buggy a 2:40 gait or better. This sort of recreation is be coming more popular with thaf class of gentlemen every year. aDd the de mand for horses suitable for this pur pose will undoubtedly be relatively greater in future as the population of oities and manufacturing towns in crease. and men become more wealthy, than it ever has been in the most j prosperous times in the past. Those who have the right kind at stock to produce this class of hofftes. and understand the business, will find U profitable to keep right on I raising them. Country farmer* in ‘ the East, however, will be likely to moke more money by raining the mut ton grades of sheepi than by raising an inferior > class of horsea If the sheep market ever becomes glutted ■ breeders can kill and eat their surplus stock. A good flock of sheep will yield a sure dividend twice a ye*r. We would not advise farmers to throw their common horse stock overboard, but they will find it to their interest to sell whenever they get a fair offer. Good young horses suitable or < farm work can be bought now at from.. $125 upwarda Heavy draught horses are plenty, and much lower than they were a few years ago These two classes of horses can be raised so i-, cheaply on the Western prairiea that New England farmers cun buy them when four years old for much ' loss than the cost of raising them here. With good coach horses it In different. There is money in raising the best of that kind in the East and . will be for many yeara—American M Horse Breeder. Money for the Clilldron.
