' ; ' A few moments before the expiration of the Sixth congress in 1801 an act was passed creating a number of new districts and circuit courts. Mr. Ad. ams selected the Judges from among i ineuus ana political supporters and had their commissions prepared before ; he approved the law. At that time it was tne practice for congress to ad Journ at midnight on the Bd of March and the term of the president expired ai;the 'sarue moment. Mr. Jefferson, being aware of the Intentions of Mr. Adams, gave his watch to Levi Lin coin, wno naa been selected for bis cabinet, and told him to take posses sion, of the office of secretary of state as the hands pointed to midnight Mr. Lincoln obeyed Instructions and inter rupted. Chief Justice Marshall, who 'fU acting as secretary of state, in the act Of attesting the commissions of the new Judges with the great seal of state. A Jew ..had been completed, but the greater part lacked the seal. Mr. Lin com entered Judge Marshall's office without warning and said: , '1 have been ordered by President Jefferson to take possession of this de partment and Its papers." '" 'Mr. Jefferson has not yet qualified as president" exclaimed the astonish ed chief Justice.. . "Nevertheless he considers himself an executor or trustee and Instructs me to take charge of the archives of this department until he is duly qualified.' "But It is not yet 12 o'clock." said Judge Marshall, taking out his watch. "This Is the president's watch and rules therhour," said Mr. Lincoln. ' Judge Marshall carried away the Commissions that were completed, and the men who received them were after ward known as "Adams' midnight judges." Mr. Jefferson considered this an In frlngement of his prerogatives and an Invasion of his authority as president and for many years he and Mr. Adams were bitterly hostile, although he con tinued to correspond with Mrs. Adams In a friendly manner. On the other hand, Mr. Adams was offended with Mr. Jefferson because of the removal -ef his son, John Qulncy Adams, who was registrar of bankruptcy at Boston. Mr. Jefferson afterward explained that he was not aware that the young Adams who held the office was a son of the ex-president or he would not have removed him. A reconciliation was brought about by Dr. Benjamin Rush, for.: which Mr. Jefferson was prepared by ' a -sympathetic letter from Mrs. Adams at the time of the death of his daughter, Mrs. Epps. - The letter of Dr. Rush to Mr. Adams urging the reconciliation is one of the most eloauent anneals that can be Imagined. - He says: "Fellow laborers in erecting the fab ric of American liberty and independ ence, fellow sufferers in the calumnies and falsehoods -of party rage, fellow heirs of the gratitude and affection of posterity and fellow passengers In the same stage which must soon convey both ' Into the presence of the Judge With whom forgiveness and the love of your enemies is the condition of your acceptance, embrace embrace eacn other, bedew your letters of reconcilia tion with tears of affection and Joy." Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Adams re sumed their correspondence and friend ly relations until their death, which oc curred on the same day, but some of Mr. Jefferson's partisans refused to ap prove the reconciliation.

While Professor Shaw says that from 10 to 20 sheep could very well be kept on every hundred acres oa the farm without costing the owner any thing for food In winter, we wilt go further than that and any that we think from two to six could be kept for every cow' that Is turned to pasture and that on most farms that we have seen the cows would find more feed as a result. They eat many plants which the cow does' not eat, and many of them are such weeds and bushes as en croach upon the pasture unless tbev are kept down by hand labor or other means than the grazing of the cow. That they enrich the land over which they roam Is too well known to require any argument. The proverb thnt "the hoof of the sheep is golden" Is centu ries old and is too evidently nu allu sion to their ability to improve the soil they travel over to need an ex planation. Cows have no objection to feeding over the droppings of the sneep. They are so fine and so scatter- ed and so quickly lose their odor thnt the growth which Is produced by this fertilizing element Is more liable to be eaten too closely than to be neglected. When they have been together a short time, they will be found to keep very closely together, the sheep learn ing to look to the cows as their natural protectors and the cows as ready to do battle for them as for their calves. We would not tnke a pasture suitable for 60 sheep and add 10 cows to It, for they would find short picking, but the pasture that would feed 10 cows must have been exceptionally well kept from weeds and bushes If there would not be feed enough left that the cows had rejected to feed from 30 to 60 sheep all the pasturage they would need. WASTE OF CORN FODDER. Valaable Food That Shaald Be Tnra- cd lata Proatablc Heat. Professor Shaw renews his plea for greater economy upon the western farm. Of that most palpable and use less extravagance witnessed In ninety nine out of every hundred cornfields he says: - The waste of corn fodder In the Mis sissippi valley Is a grievous waste. In the aggregate the uncut corn must amount to millions and millions of acres. And one acre In those states Where the season Is long grows so much food! In a recent ride from Omaha to Kansas City for more than half a day the train steamed along through cornfields nearly all of which were uncut. There was enough of uncut corn in this one part of the Missouri valley to feed hundreds of thousands of cattle through all the winter. All Mils valu able food will waste, and. It Is only fragmentary portion of the waste that will take place all up and down the MIssIbbIddI and many of its tributaries The day will come when all this will change. The day will come when It must change. At one time the greatest profit may thus have been obtained by large holders of land. It may be so still. But surely in those days of high priced meat and of shredders more money could be made by using more of this valuable food. The people In those areas where this practice prevails will be hard Indeed to persuade to change their ways, the force of habit Is so powerful, but It is a change that ought to be brought about CARE OF WEAK LAMBS. How Treat Thoae That Arc Daahla to Sack the Ewe, There are many times when lambs are dropped thnt are too weak to get uo and suck the ewe. If It chances to be one of twins. It may be that before It is found the other and stronger one will have taken all the milk from the ewe, or the lamb may be so chilled as nnt to have the nower to sues, we have saved such a lamb when It scarce ly bad life enough to swallow by giving warm milk a little warmer nan came from the cowl and Ifwe had It In the bouse we would add about a tea- snoonf ul of spirit or a little warm gin irer tea to the half cup of milk, says sn exoert arrower. It will take but one or two teaspooufuls of milk at a time no- til 2 or 3 days old. ' When fresh milk is not at nana, nse condensed milk, about a tesspoonrni or it fa tea snoonf nis of not water, oe nre to hare It at least blood warm. When It Is able to stand ajooe. tne lamb may sometimes be put back on th. wc If she will own It ana oas mua v.r hnth. If not. It can be hrotirht nn on a bottle and will usually outgrow the one on the ewe If given all It will drink of good milk. After the first feeding rub It dry and wrap K In a warm blanket, then place It where It will keep warm. With a flock large enough to keep a man to wati-h them at lambing time this msy not be necessary, but where they are visited two or three times In a night there msy some come In the Interval that will need attention. We are of opinion that mule breed ing has been too much neglected In the .th ami oerbans elsewhere. The u la reaiir the most useful draft ..im.i nn th farm and by far the most economical. For real rough faros rk moles are better than horses. They are not quite so speedy as borses. but there Is djbcd pwwaia . term that cannot be done both rapidly and well, and for steady palling at aiforss speed the mole has so equal.

" ; Johnson grass, however, Is only a straight forage crop with which to "rough" the animals through the win ter season. Sorghum has also a value as a forage plant and withstands dry seasons so well as to always produce enough feed to pay for Its production, Some grain feeding is needed In addi tion to roughage, and the two grains that seem to promise the best results are mllo maize and Kaffir corn. In the management of these crops. If the grain Is permitted to ripen, would be well to separate the seed by thrashing and prepare them for feed ing by soaking In water or by crush ing. Frequently the heads are cut off and fed without thrashing. In this case there is considerable waste. In tearing the heads to pieces while eat ing much of the feed Is thrown upon the ground and trampled. The grain Is so hard that a large proportion will pass through the animal without being digested. By keeping bogrMo follow the cattle very much of this waste can of course be obviated; as the feed that does not help to 'make beef will be con verted Into pork. Very much of the mllo maize crop of 1000 has had Its grain damaged badly by the unusual rainfall of tbe season at tbe time of Its, maturity. The heads bad the appearance of being moldy, and a 'dark, rusty scale was formed about tbe Junction of the seed with Its stem. It is said that some horses have been killed by eating heads of mllo maize while In this con dition. Whether any cattle have been injured by it I have not learned, but It Is reasonable to Infer that It would be Imprudent to feed tbe heads when In that condition. The seeds, however, when thrashed out are said to be clean ed so as to relieve them of this hurt ful attachment In saving the mllo maize and Kaffir, corn for winter. feeding most of the stockmen prefer to cut the stalk while the grain Is "in the dough" and stack It feeding the stalk and grain together as a hay crop is fed. Of the twol Kaffir corn seems to be tbe better feed. Not only Is tbe grain the more nutri tious of the two, but both the stalk and the blade of Kaffir corn are considered richer In nutriment and more easily digested than are those parts of mllo! maize. Both, however, are excellent feeds, and their production Is destined to increase greaTly" : A fairly good crop of-Kaffir corn pro duces from 60 to 75 bushels to one acre of land. Such a crop, cut while In the dough and fed whole, will enable the stockman to carry through the win tier In thriving condition five or sli bead of cows or steers, provided he has fairly good, pasturage of native grasses.'.-'' .;. ..."V '. ' . These cultivated feeds should not be come a substitute for winter pasturage. The best sheltered portions of the range must be reserved for the winter months, and Johnson grass, mllo anil Kaffir must be employed to supple ment tbe grasses. In s large part of the northern ranges of ; Texas there may be also winter wheat pasturage for a number of animals. .

Hie, The leading kinds of fertilisers are classified and described as follows by Professor Kedile of tbe Michigan sta tlon: . First. Complete manure, which con tains nitrogen In some combination, such as a salt of ammonia, nitrate of soda or organic nitrogen; potash, as muriate or sulphate (German stass- furth salts) or wood ashes; phosphoric . acid, as a sulphate of lime. It Is called a complete manure because It contains all of the three materials most essential for plant growth and moat likely to be deficient In a field after long cropping, Second. Plain phosphate, which may be In the form of superphosphate, solu ble In water or solution of citrate of ammonia, these being called available because they are readily taken up by the roots of plants, and ground phos phate rock, an Insoluble form. The bone phosphate and rock phosphate are changed Into superphosphate by the action of sulphuric acid, removing a part of the lime as sulphate. The soluble phosphate Is especially benefi cial to plants in tbe early state of tbelr growth, giving them a good start In later stages of growth, when tbe plant by Its roots can forage for food In tbe soil, tbe Insoluble phosphate may have nearly as beneficial an effect, Third. Phosphates promote the for mation of flowers and fruit and secure earlier ripening. They may be wisely used on vines and succulent fruits that are liable to be cut by early frosts In autumn, securing early crops with better prices and avoiding tbe loss of the entire crop by untimely frosts be fore most of tbe crop had ripened. Fruit trees sometimes blossom year after year .without producing fruit This Is often caused by storms at the flowering period, but It may be caused by constitutional weakness, In conse quence of which pollen of vital power Is not formed.' In such cases the use of active phosphates Is worthy of trial. Bonemeal contains phosphate of lime and animal matter rich In nitro gen and hence hi very valuable for manure where we desire a prolonged Influence. It I well adapted to grass lands and Is free from tbe bad odors often given off by mixed fertilizers. Moist meadows-are benefited by dressing of bonemeal. If the bones that now adorn tbe back yard and pas ture lot should be ground Into a pow der and scattered on a crop worn field, the results would surprise some farm era. Fourth. Potash manure. The best and cheapest Is that neglected home product wood ashes. These contain an average of 5 per cent of potash, be sides a sensible amount of pbospbste and a very targe amount of carbonate of lime and magnesia. They are an all around plant manure so far as mineral matter Is concerned, supplying each gas element ; - Unless the farmer can bring Into active form tbe great store of potash hi his soil be will then have to bny the German potash salts, the muriate or sulphate. These salts are yearly com ing Into greater prominence as potash fertilizers, but tbelr sale In Michigan In separate form has not been large. Tbe influence of potash on plant life Is masterful; no plant can grow with out It end Its Influence In developing the carbohydrates and maturing fruits hi marked and apparently controlling. . Fifth. Nitrogen compounds. Nitro gen Is the bottled wine of tbe vege table feast If tbe term stimulant can be applied to any organisation desti tute of a nervous system, then nitro gen Is tbe stimulant of plant life. la any of Its combined forms It gives depth of color and exuberance of growth to vegetable life, and when In abundant supply It causes tbe plant to break forth Into riotous growth. The great reservoir of nitrogen Is tbe air, but tbe leaves of plants, though con stantly bathed In nitrogen, cannot drink In a particle. It Is only nitrogen In combination that can be appropriat ed by the plant and this enters the plant by tbe roots and comes from the solL A small amount Is brought to the soil by tbe rain, washing Out tbe in monja and nitrates of the air. but tbe amount la not large and entirely In adequate to supply a crop. : -.' large amount of active nitrogen In tbe form of nitrates Is yearly form ed In every well cultivated field, and this Is tbe cheapest wsy of securing f supply of this costliest element of plant growth. The. raising of leguml nons crops, like the clovers, la tbe next cheapest way ef securing a seppiy. - Combined nitrogen Is purchased la three forms salts of ammonia, nitrate of soda and organic nitrogen la toe form of dried Mood, flsn scraps, cot tonsssd meat etc. . .

Every year, or at best within two or three years, tbe work has to be done over again.

As tbs result of sn Inquiry made in 1809 by tbe United Btatea department of agri culture replies were received from over 1,200 counties, giving tbe cost of haul ing crops In various parts of tbe United States. Tbe average load hauled was found to be 2,002 pounds, tbe average length of haul 12.1 miles, the average cost of hauling a ton of crops to mar ket $3.02. while tbe average cost of hauling a ton for a distance of one mile was 26 cents.. At tbe same time tbe average cost of hauling a ton mile on tbe roads of England, France, DIRT ROAD IX DKCEUOKII. Germany. Belgium, Italy and Switzer land was found to be only 8.0 cents, or about one-third of tbe cost on tbe dirt roads of tbe United States.

The proposed plan for road Improvement in this country content plates tbe macadamlzatlon of some 20 or 30 miles of the main tborougnrares, the crossroads to be laid with gravel and clay well rolled. With material close at nana sucn roads can be built for about 1900 I mile, but hi many cases where no grav el Is at band tbs cost might run to two or three times tbst sum. Tbe building of such roads Is just as much of an art and requires Just as mncb care In tbe preparation of tbe specifications macadam and even mora attention to maintenance. No one would seriously advocate tbe completion of this exten sive programme In any one year or even tbe raising of $80,000 or $100,000 by taxation for tbe building of the macadam sections, but It would be saeaper In tbe end. In all likelihood, to borrow the necessary sum of the state at 4 per cent creating a sinking fund for tbe retirement of the bonds when due. .
