The water stands seven feet deen in places, and several lives have Wn lost. The United States makes a very dis couraging showing for this year's crop of cotton. It is already certain that the crop has Ki'ii badly damaged by unfa vorable weather during the pant six weeks; that it has got a poor start ; that it is being injured by insects and di sense and cannot amount to an average yield. More serious still is the pron)MVt that further adverse weather, which may fairly Ih expected at this season, catch ing the belated crop iu its present con dition, will reduce the yield still further. A few sections, as Florida and Louisiana, hviii to have lecn exempted to the me teorological fate that han overtaken the I he Hilton crop generally, but they are not extensive enough to make any ma terial ilil'.'creiiro in the crop a a whole.

G. F. Wheeler of Alabama said: "I see liu leanoii ttny luu country Riioinil oe biirdened by a long tiresome session, with attendant debates and set speeches. The President has called them together by reason of the gravity of the money question, and that alone. There are nu merous Congressmen who believe it would Ije wise for Congress as soon as it organizes to pans a resolution giving the President authority to suspend the pur chase act or deal with it as he may deem best. Congress could then adjourn at once. When convened in regular session iu December the financial condition could be dealt with intelligently and with delilH-ration and in the light of the result of four months' work under the policy the President might under the res olution inaugurate." While members of Congress and lead ers in financial matters are discussing various plans by which the present situ ation can be relieved, the ollicials of the Treasury Department are quietly prepar ing the statistics and histories of finan cial transactions for the benefit of the admiumtration to guide it in its own views of the vital suliject. Several plans have Ih'cii suggested to Secretary Car lisle. Among them in one which con templates an entire change in thu money system of the United States. In short, tlie plan is to pass a specie resumption act, redeeming the various forms of money now used in the country and is suing instead United States Treasury notes, w hose value shall ulwavs be fixed. There are at present nine dili'erent forms of money in circulation, and the fact of wide difference between the value of gold and silver coins, while they are the oretically of a parity, is one of the causes w hich lias suggested the plan proposed. The national banks during the past two luonthn have increased their circulation nearly 7. 000.

The President bus signed an order re organizing the military Department of Arizona under the name ot the Popart inent of Colorado, w ith headquarters at Deliver. The Department of Arizona consisted of the Territories of New Mex ieo and Arizona and that portion of Cal- norma south ot tlie .ioth parallel. I lie new order abolishes the Department of Arizona, and places Arizona, .New .Ylox ico, Utah and Colorado in the new din trict. California is restored to the De partment of Iwifornia. with headquar ters at San Kruncisco. This change has been urged bv the military authorities for a year past. The headquarters of the Department of Arizona were at I-os An geles, placing uencrai .mci ook, com manding the department, at thcextreme western part of his department. This caused great delay iu communicating with armv headquarters at Washington, as all matters iu his section were sent to bun and bv hi in to Washington. With headquarters at Denver he will be at the extreme east ot the department and in thu closest communication with Wash ington. Thin, it is believed, will ell'ect economv in time anil money and greatlv facilitate the disbursement of supplies and ammunition. General McCook will command the new department. UlllC.UiO EXPOSITION.

PRACTICAL BREEDING The Man Who Feeds Haphazard u Most Likely to Make Very Serious Mistakes. Careful observations made at tlie V;.. t souri experiment station have been fo",. muiaieu into a series 01 practical roles r for breeding, of which the following ars a brief synopsis : f 1. Animals should be led as much s f they can digest without injury to health. 2. Thev should be fed a " balanced n. ' tion "that is, one in which the various ingredients are adapted to their needs ' and the purpose in feeding. k 3. Food is required to maintain animal f heat; hence animals exposed lo cold re f quire more food than those provided f with warm but well-ventilated quarters. The man, therefore, who is kind to iik t cattle is kind to himself. ; 4. The digestive capacity of animals i may be stimulated by a variety of food i salt, etc ' i With regard to the substances which ! enter into the composition of foods fori' stock, usually arranged in six groups, i; the following definitions are given: ' f 1. Water The amount of this varies f with the kind of food supplied. While 1 pure water has no nutritive value in it-1 self, it plays no unimportant part in the ' animal economy, and should be freeh i supplied and o. the best attainable qual- :' ity. ; 2. Ash This is what remains after the ; combustible portions have been burned ' away. It supplies the mineral ingredi eron to tbp flnimnl body. 3. Protein (pronounced pro-tee-in)- i Is the nitrogenous portion of the food, ! and goes to form muscle and all other ; nitrogenous parts of the body, aiding al- ? most in the formation of fat. It is the most valuable of all the food ingredients. 4. Fat This substance produces ani- ( mal neat, or is stored up in tne Doily M 1 fat for future use. ' j' 5. Carbohydrates include the starches, f gums, sugars, etc., and produce fat and neat. 0. Fiber This substance has alxrat the same composition as the carbohv . drates, but is much less digestible, and ; has but little if anv nutritive value. i It is by a knowledge of these various S ingredients as combined in dili'erent i foods that scientific feeders are able to r secure the best results, w hether they are ' feeding for milk or muscle. A man who t feeds haphard, with w hatever he has on t hand, may happen to hit on the right r ration, but the chances are he will make ' very serious mistakes. The subject for rations for cattle is one of the deepest ' with which stock owners have to do. '( FACTS ABOUT FERTILIZERS, As the results of experiments at the Storrs Agricultural School it lias bnn j found that, while the addition of nun- J eral fertilizers increased the yield of f clover, it had no material eflect on the j yield of grasses. In general the yield of hay was increased with the quantity of I nitrogen supplied; but the mineral fer- tinkers when used alone were applied at a loss. Some of the facts obtained are well worth attention. For example, the ad dition of 100 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre (containing twenty-five pounds of nitrogen) in addition to the fixed min erals gave an average profit during a (io riod of three years of $1.40 per acre. Three hundred' and twenty pounds of nitrate of soda (fifty pounds of nitrogen) gave an average profit of $5.24 per acre, while 480 pounds of nitrate of soda (seventy-five pounds of nitrogen) yielded a proht of only $2.45 per acre. The re- turns of prolit from the use of 320 pounds of nitrate of soda were very uniform, be- - ing $5.10, $5.12 and $5.49 respectively for the three years. ' I The application of nitrogenous fertil- jj izers, it was found, increased the per- centages of protein in the crop, and the I increase was somewhat in proortion to I the amount of nitrogen supplied. The I increase in the amount of nitrogen in f the crop did not, however, equal the in- J creased amount of nitrogen supplied in I the fertilizers, which would appear to show that the plants were not able to I utilize all the nitrogen supplied. i It is plain, therefore, that it is not profitable to apply more of this cxpen- i- sive ingredient than the plants can read- ily assimilate. (. TO FATTEN DUCKS. An Knglish contemporary savs: First, select clean, shady yards; if' thev are j grassy, so much the better. Do not pat I more than 100 birds together, giving them about six or eight square feet of room per bird. Begin fattening when the birds are eight weeks old. The feed may consist of 70 per cent of cornineal. 10 per cent of irluten. 10 ner cent of Bowker's animal meal and 5 per cent of wheat bran. This should be carefully mixed and made quite moist, but not sloppy. The birds can eat it more read ily when it is a little stickv, and do not waste it so much. The feeding trough should be five to six feet two for each 100 birds. Feed regularly three times a day at sunrise, noon and sunset, water ing at the same time. In warm weather the ducks should be watered between meals in addition. Be sure and feed all they will eat clean. If there is anv food left in the troughs at the end of twenty minutes, take it up clean so that the birds may not be cloyed. Keep cracked oyster shells and coarse sand in small boxes within reach. Give preen clover or corn fodder once each dav say at 8 . m. what they will eat each "day. Pekin ducks, carefully grown and fatted in this wnv, should" at ten or eleven weeks old tip the scales at twelve pomi'ls per pair. That is about the average weight. NOTES. Pon't cool off the stables before milk ing. It makes the cows hold up their milk, and frequently thev become fret ful and kick. Sweet cream should le churned at lower temperature than sour, and it takes a longer time for it to separate; otherwise the same rules applv to lmth. The foals of 1H!3 need the In'-st of care. Hive them food adapted to their needs. Three hours a week can lie profitably spent in training each pair of colls dur ing their first six months.
