House. In the house on the 23d forty-four new bills were introduced in the morning. Among them was one authorizing the governor to employ counsel to assist in recovering the money due the state from the defunct Capital National bank and appropri ating 53.000 to deiray all necessary ex penses. House roll No. 212. felter's bill, conferring full Linden- ! suffrage upon women, was considered. It brought on a spirited debate that was listened to with a keen relish and en joyment by the crowded lobby and gal lories. The motion to recommend the bill for passage was carried. The house then took up No. 100, Kessler's bill, conferring municipal suffrage on women, and it was recommended for Indefinite postponement by a vote of 37 to 30. No. 30. Berry's bill, amending the questions to be asked by assessors, was recomended for passage. No. 100, Stevens' bill, designating taxable prop erty, was next taken up. The bill was discussed for an hour and a half, and was then recommended for indefinite postponement by a vote of 30 to 35. Biggins' bill, providing for an addi tional judge in the Twelfth district, was recommended for passage after being so amended as to call upon the governor to fill the place immediately, pending the next general election. The report on the universal suffrage bill brought on a skirmish, and the motion to adopt the report resulted in the tie vote of 40 to 40. but it was announced that it had carried by a vote of 43 to 33. The members have no hopes of carrying it when it is put upon its passaged but they are hustling for votes, and offer ing trades where they cannot get them otherwise. There is little probability that it will pass the house, and none whatever that it will get through the senate. The report on the municipal suffrage bill was rejected and the bill ordered engrossed for passage. After the introduction of a large number of new bills the house adjourned.

Ifl olden time there was more winter manufac turing on tho farm than is now possi- ble. There are no more farmers who tan hides and make the leather Into boots and shoes or harnesses. All . these are put on tho market so much cheaper and with so much better polish by wholesalo manufacturers that if is impossible, for the homt? . manufacturer, working on a imail scale, to compete.

It is cheaper ' doubtless for a farmer who only wants ' 100 or 200. plants, to buy than to grow that number. lint here agairi the , neighborhood idea will apply.

There must be such employment, or the supply of summer help will con tinue to decrease both in amount and quality, as it has long dono. The ways of providing farm work will vary according to locality, but that cannot bo considered a properly bal anced system of farming that docs not give some employment in winter .at a rate that will something more j than pay expenses to the larger part ' of the help required by farm opera- j tions in summer. ... ,. ., r ... -r I' the Land of Ito.ast Ileef. , ,, .

" iias oeen tne creation oi a list ot lm proved, meat-producing breeds of British origin, such as no other na tion has ever evolved; and as skill in breeding necessarily implies skill in feeding, it is probably true that there are probably more real expert feed ers and fine "finishers" of butch ers" stock among the English and Scotch than amomg the farming population of any other ono country our own not ex cepted. The British farmer knows nat tne highest results in producing select beeves and muttons cannot be attained save oy a degree or watchful ness and care in the breeding and feeding which is seldom resorted to in American agriculture. While they appreciate to the utmost the neces sity of good sires, and have success ively and successfully invoked all tho powers of selection, heredity, in breeding and out-crossing, they un- j questionably have a deeper realiza tion of the true influence of good care and keep in the maintenance of form and type than exists among our West ern people. While we havo only just fairly began to study the problems involved in economical and profitable feeding, our old country cousins have, for at least a century, been forced by ' the exigencies of their situation and j the exactness of the connoisseurs to whom they were catering to make feeding for market almost one of tho learned professions. Breeders' Ga zette. Froper Management of Cream. Mr. John Oliver, late principal of a i dairy institute of England, has de- I livercd several lectures on the proper j management of cream and the churn- ' ing of butter. His ideas are sura- marized by the Dairy, of London, and thej are well worth considering by dairymen. It is. he says, generally necessary to mix the cream of two or three days together for churning1. These creams should be kept apart until brought together for ripening, because the casein in those which had been properly acidified would churn rapidly, the others would not. anu there would come a lo.s of fa iu the buttermilk. Therefore it is necessary to held the oldest cream back so as to bring each, day's oreain together at as equal . condition as p'ossible. After the main part of the cream has been separated it is useless to con tinue churning it with the hope ol obtaining the balance In ripening Cream it is necessary to give a lower temperature wh'ile coffs are feeding on grass and succulent fools- than when feeding on hay, grain and other dry foods. This was because of the differenfc of the relative proportions 6f th solid arid liquid fats- Tho suc cess and economy" of churning depends in a great degree oti sk'ill and judg ment in ripening the cream. Every butter maker must mako a special study of this point. Hard Wo He id Gardenia. Sotrid branches of gardellfilK are light, easy, and altogether pleasant, but more of the work in running' a markci garden successfully is heavy and often disagreeable'. As for hand ling manure, the market gardener applies li'air three to five times as much per acre as the farmer f would deem necessary, and much oi it is applied in the hill by hand. Not so many ways of dispensing with hand labor have been found for tho gard ener as for moderH ftfrmt'rs.- There aro scores of jobs that tho gardener must do bending low to tho ground and as hard on tho back a3 pulling beads. 'J'hpy rtro the kind of slow, puttering woric. stn'h as occur in the farmer's .bw.ri garden, and which most often put him ollt of patience.

Single stalls aro better for cows, as tho danger of ono stepping on an other's teats and Injuring or wholly destroying Hiem s avoided. Tho cows arc kept tilarier when in single stalls. The usual width of iho stall is four fee. One in.ch slope in tho floor from the head oi th' stall to the gutter is sufficient. The longtil of the stall depends on the size of tho cow, and as some are larger than others it Is common to make tho floor wider at. ono end than the other, and thtis hare rt regular gradation by which the small and Iar&'r. cows maj all be accommodated. The length of floor given is the clear space betwean tho manger and the gutter. If the floor is too long the cows will not be kept so clean as if it is of such a length that the hind feet eomo at tho edge of tho gutter. Mirror and Farmer. Stock Notes. Careless feeding and handling of cuttle cill give no profit. Corn and (fob meal, with bran, makes a good feed for cattle. The profit of feeding is not always confined to tho increaso in weight. Ono of tho first itoms in cattle rais ing is to breed them right at tho start. It does not pay to raise scrub cat tle, as a scrub costs as much to raise as a good one. Good feeders say to give tho corn to the steer calf and oats and bran to tho heifer calf. Good care goes a long way toward bringing out the good points of an unpromising animal. It does not pay to keep young, growing cattle without sufficient feed to keep them thrifty. A good feeder can readily tell by the appearance of a calf whether or not it will turn out well. Milk giving and beef forming are not analagous, and each needs its special breeding and feeding. With a large class of farmers profita ble cattle feeding is almost entirely a question of lessoning the cost of pro duction. There is one objection to feeding cattle without any exercise, and that is that they aro more liable to tire of their feed. Cattle will thrive better with plenty of good hay or corn fodder, without grain, than with plenty of grain and no roughness. Ono decided advantage in feeding by hand is that tho quantity of milk can bo better regulated, as also tho length of time it is fed. Southern farmers are ahead of their Northern neighbors in many respects. They think blood and bono fertilizers are as necessary as good seed tc secure a fair crop. Household Hlntt. The flavor of a young roasted chicken is improved by placing inside of it a bouquet of parsley, a small onion and butter the size of a walnut. If sheets or tablecloths are wrung by putting the selvage through tho wringer the edges will not curl up and they will iron much raoro easily. When the edge of a rose blanket becomes worn it may be very neatly button-holed with Scotch yarn or worsted to match the borders in color. If the wick of a lamp does not move easily in the holder draw out one or two threads from one side. The wick should be as large a one as the holder will receive. Half a dozen onions planted in the cellar where they can get a little light will do much toward absorbing aud correcting the atmospheric im purities that are so apt to lurk in such places. Old feather beds may be freshened and the feathers made lighter and more lively by laying them on a clean grass plot during a heavy shower. Let them be thoroughly wet through, then dried and beaten with rods. By immersing a lead pencil in a jar of linseed oil until it is thoroughly saturated, lead, wood and all, it will be found that the lead has been toughened and softened, and the pen cil will outwear two of the untreated. Buy bar soap by tho quantity if you want to Iks truly economical, stand the bars on edge, one above an other, with as much open space as possible between them. They will then dry out and last almost twice as long. Nothing is of more benefit to the hair than daily and vigorous brush ing, but this entails a sadly soiled hfr briiih. every few days. If the brush is dipped iu ammonia water and then dried in the sun it will come out as good as new. BUILDERS IN CONVENTION. ' lapertMt National Gatherlac la 8k , loafa Plane for the Vail ExpoirMon. St. Louis, Feb. 17. The c"criTention of builders, which has been in se'ss'on here this week, has been closely watched by architects all over the , country. The convention brought I something like a thousand people to the city who were interested in archi- . tecture and building All of tho delff ! gates spent an afternoon going through , the big business buildings of St. Louis, i and examining from carriages, as they rode' along tho boulevard?, the hand- , somest private residences of the city, j The convention took very strong i ground against the Hational policy of ' trusting important public work in the , hands of "political architects," as Charles Dudley Warner calls them iu ; hi article on the World's Fair build Ings in Harper's, protesting that it en- codraged extravagance, and gave the country ngly and unworthy govern ment buildings. For some time work has been stopped on the comprehensive system of boule vards planned for the city last year, and it has required legislation authorizing an additional taxation ot the property that would be benefitted to get IKc money to carry out the plans. The property owners affected were willing enough to pay ih small extra cost the boulevard building would have imposed on them, but the law would not allow the tax to be col lected, and so in this legislature the unlqds spectacle was presented of tho owners of Iirid begging for the imposition of a greater tiC on their ground in order that its value might be increased. Now. the money being secured, work on the now boulevards will be pushed vigorously as soon as spring fairly opens, and by the end of summer it will be" possible for a man to drive over smooth asphalt dud telford paving for twenty miles without get ting out of the city. Tho managers of the St Louis Expo sition have jllat made an arrangement with the World's Fair directors b f which the art gallery of the great ex- hibition here will ect the benefit of the finest f the pictures sent to ihe ' -Fair by painters in this country aud ethers. Paintings will be exchanged between St. Louis and the trailer? of ' the World's Fair. The arrangement is a very costly one to the exposition but it promises much better results than the did way of borrowing a few pict ures here and thsre from private gal leries in different cities, and then filling up the rest of the space with paintings that were for sale by the artists. By the r.ew plan visitors to the Exposition here will able to see the very best works of art froas the galleries of all the great cities of the United States as well as Europe. From this time till the end of the year, the Health Department of the city and the Citizens' Sanitary Com mittee will spend over half a million dollars in carrying out the sanitary plans that were made last year. It is intended to make the sjtrcets, alleys and vacant lots of the city so clean that not only will it be impossible for any epidemic disease to break out here during the summer and fall, but more , than that, the Intelligence of the wholesome condition of the city.going , abroad, will reassure timid people who have not yet recovered from the ! cholera scare of last season in New York, and will convince them that in St Louis they will be protected against ' any sort of danger to their health. The widest publicity is to be given to this sanitary campaign, and it will be sure to leave St Louis the best guarded city in the country, in the event that any t plague from foreign shores comes thb way. ! It Isn't New. ' Those who imagine that the care of the teeth and the replacement of the , natural grinders with false ones is "something new under the sun" may I be surprised to learn that artificial teeth were made of ivory, placed on ' plates of the same material and held . together and in place by gold wires and rivets 500 to 1.000 years before Christ. Herodotus, '-the father of history,' tells j us that the Egyptians of the fifth d' nasty understood the diseases of the i teeth and their treatment. There arc ' several passages in history to lead one : to the belief that both Ciesar and An- tony wore artificial teeth. The date of the introduction of false teeth into Europe is uncertain. They wyxc known ; In England as early at least as the U covery of America. ''The Mathemati- cal Jewel," published in l."S., contains an account of Sir John Balgrave, "who caused all of hys teethe to be drawne Out, and after had a sett of ivory teethe in agayne." The visitor at the centen- , nial of 1870 was given a chance to view ' the false ivory masticators which oncw served the immortal Washington. ' Care of Street Trees. Street trees sometimes need pruning. If, however, they have been originally well selected a small knife will be all that is necessary for a few years to re move an occasional branch that starts out in the wrong place. There is rarely any necessity of cutting off a large limb. If this necessitj ever does come the limb should be cut off close to the trunk and the place smoothed over and timately covered with healthy bark We have often explained that wherevep a stub is left this must inevitablj' d,'e and as the trunk grows about it there will be a plug of rotted wood whee the branch originally grew, and the dis ease will eat inward and downward ns the water soaks in from without. Aftev street trees have attained mature sizc pruning is rarely needed beyond the oc casional cutting away of a dead branch or the removal of one which interferes with another. Garden and Forest. An Instructive Fable. A swarm of flies had been feeding all summer on the blood of a thrifty cow. The feed was good early in the season, and the cow gave a large amountof milk and gained in flesh at the same time. But when the grass dried up and the weather was cold the flies were driven off. Then the leader of the swarm, named Benjamin, sat on a rok and made a speech, in which he srid: "Now let us see if the cow will d as well without us as she did whi w were sucking her blood."
