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.

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

not give some employment in winter

j than pay expenses to the larger part

proved, meat-producing breeds of
British origin, such as no other na
tion has ever evolved; and as 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

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. Wo
believe more farmers ought io begin
market gardening; but- would bo
very sorry to mislead anyone into
doing so under the idea that the busi
ness is alt easy onp. If it were its

Single Stalls for Cow.
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

length that the hind feet eomo at tho

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." Manceste
