Iloxlo Wns Not Shot.
The startling announcement gamed
currency on the streets shortly after 5
o'clock last evening that General Man
ager Hoxic and General Superintendent
Kerrigan of the Missouri 1'aoliic had been
killed by the mob at St. Louis. The news
spread like wild-lire , and soon there ap
peared in the corridors of the hotels and
in show windows of the various business
houses bulletins setting forth the slart-
ling intelligence. Inquiry of Iho bullclin
posters , however , failed lo elicit any ad
ditional particulars or the source from
which the information was obtained , and
the llKK ofllco was besieged by people
anxious to learn the facts. Nothing ,
however , had been received at this office
in reference to the alleged assassination ,
and inquirers were turned away with
their curiosity not satisfied. Later in the
evening the willotin boards announced
that the report that Hoxio was killed was
not verified , hut that ho had been
Bhot and was dangerously wounded.
Still later the same authorities set
forlh the fact that Hoxio was
not shot , but they still maintained that
the killing of Kerrigan was true. Shortly
after 0 o'clock , however , the bulletins bo-
can to disappear from public places , and
it began to t > o whispered around that a
mistake had been made. Crowds which
had gatliorr.d to discuss the situation be
gan to diminish in size as the latest
rumors grow in strength , and soon en
tirely dispersed upon the authoritalivo
Blatcmcnt that neither Hoxio nor Kerri
gan had been hurt in the least , and that
announcements to the contrary wcro en
tirely Incorrect.
Wlicro the rumors started from it was
impossible lo ascertain last evening. It
Is Said that a private dispatch was re
ceived by Superintendent Dorrunco , of
the Union Pacific , announcing tlio
tragedy , but the report was not verified.
When the news was supposed to bo re
liable the excitement in various quarters
was intense and was the general subject
of conversation. Knights of Labor wcro
terribly indignant and horrified tit the
supposed tragedy , while others denounced
Uic knights in the most vigorous terms.
"FIGHTING JOHN BUTLiEU. "
A Texas Murderer Captured In Ghcy-
cniie County Passes Through Omaha.
A large , finely built man , wearing n
' broad-brimmed sombrero , a rough suit of
corduroy , and n big leather belt full of
cartridgcSj.was silting in Sheriff Coburn's
office yesterday afternoon , taking it easy ,
preparatory to going on a long journey
last night. This individual was Sheriff
Beard , of Mason county , Texas , and he
was on his way homo with a prisoner ,
whom ho had captured in this state , after
long and patient tracking. On the 2d
day of November. 1884 , John Roberts
better known' as "Fighting John Butler , '
, f. entered a saloon in Mason , and
stopping np to Jim McNealy ,
who was playing pool , told him
ho had an old score to settle , and pulling
out a revolver shothim dead. Ho then
"covered" the crowd with his gun and
kept thorn back until ho could mount his
horfco and ride away. That was the last
heard of him until about n month ago ,
when Sheriff Hoard received word that he
had been seen by a friend in Nebraska.
The olliccr accordingly came north , and
after some dilliculty located his man in
Cho3'onno county , this stale. On Monday
last ho went to the house where Roberts
was stopping and oll'ecled his capture ,
although lie made a desperate resistance.
Yesterday the olllcer and prisoner arrived
in Omaha , and the latter was locked up
in the county jail until evening , when
they took the train for Kansas City.
"righting John Butler" is wolf known
throughout Texas as a "dead tough , "
having "killed his man" in several in
stances. MeXealy , for whoso murder ho
has just been arrested , was also a bad
man. and , although smaller than "Fight
ing John , " was considered the best man
of the two. Mason county , where the
murder was committed , has a hard popu
lation , and Sheriff Heard i.s at present on
the track of &ix escaped murderers.

of'u couple of shots the three made their

which is Ixiing celebrated at this season
in accordance with ancient tradition.
The elite of thu Hebrew society was pres

A reporter for the BKK walking down
rarnant streel last evening picked up an
old letter , soiled , iadcd and tattered. It
was dated Juno 0,1803 , and was written
by an old soldier in the Union army to n. .
friend. It was written on a kind of
papolcrio which was greatly admired by
Iho boys In blue , and much used by them ,
the head of the sheet containing a rough
wood cut engraving of General Tyler's
famous bnyouot charge nt the bnltlo of
Winchester. The letter is written from
"Camp at Lake Springs , near Rolla ,
Mo. " Among other lliliiffs , liio writer
says : "All the Infantry from our
division have been ordered away.
It is supposed that they will go to

One of the strange sighls which may bo
noticed almost tiny day on the streets of
Omaha , especially in the evening , is that
of a Chinaman , walking arm iu arm with
a pretty white girl. The Mongolian is
known among his brolhcrn and the pub
lic to whom ho is known by name or
sight , as "Tho Dude. " His dress is com
pletely American , from a handsome close-
fitting fur cap to a pair of neat , well
polished boots. His clothes are
of the finest cut and iit him
ns though made by the best
tailor in Omalia. Ho generally wears
a pair of _ black kiJ gloves , when out
promenading with his lady love , and
sports a gold-headed cane , which ho
swings from side lo side with the care
lessness of a man whose wealth is counted
by the millions. Ho is , altogether , the
dandy Chinaman of Omaha. Nobody
seems to know tlio nnmo of the young
lady who is so fortunate as to be blessed
with the Celestial's love. She is possessed
of more than average good looks , and is
really a very clever appearing young
lady. It is said that John is saving up
money and expects to buy a home , to
which ho may take his American bride ,
when the happy marriage climax shall
cap the courtship , ( as it probably will )
some few weeks or months hence.
There is a German in South Omaha
employed in some menial capacity b3 * the
stockyards company who rejoices in the
nickname of "John McShuno , " a soubri
quet which lie derived rather from some
caprice of his associates than from any
real or fancied resemblance to his distin
guished Omaha namesake. The Gentian
is said to bo very proud of this nickname
and would rather be called by it than by
his real numo. Ono day ho was
working' in the yards when an asso
ciate shouted to him , "Cojte here ,
John McShano. " The real John
A. happened , ns luck would have it , to be
passing along at the time , out paid no
attention to tlio call. Again the cry
came , loud and clear , "Come here , John
McShano , " followed closely by another
more emphatic , "If you don't came here ,
John McShano , I'll break your
neck for you ! " The real John A.
McShano , who was sheltered from view
by a high board fence , hurried past with
out waiting to find out why his name was
used thus roughly in vain. Probably to
this day lie is in ignorance of the true
state of affairs.
lie was talking about the largo number
of law suits growing out of petty neigh
borhood quarrels , when Judge btcnborg
interrupted him. "Lot me toll you , "
said his honor , "about a suit 1 had before
mo six or seven years ago. An old
woman came to mo and wanted replevin
papers for an old hen and thirteen chick
ens , which a neighbor had taken posses
sion of. 1 told nor it would cost more
than the chickens were worth , but she
was bound to have it just the same. So 1
issued the papers mid a constable went
and recovered the property. The chickens
were young ones , only two or three days
old , and the olliccr put them in his
pockets to bring them to my ollico.
When lie got there he found that" three of
the1 chickens wcro dead. But there were
still Ion of them left , and I told him to
put thorn in my coal box with the old hen
uulil tlio case could bo tried. Well , the
next morning when I went to the ollico I
found that seven of the chickens had been
killed by rats , and before afternoon ,
when the case came up , there was only
the old lien left. But the case was tried
iust tlio same , and the whole neighbor
hood appeared as witnesses on onosidoor
the other. The old woman lost her suit ,
but the jury agreed to waive their fees ,
and recommended Ihat the witnesses do
the same , They all agreed to do so , but
the woman wouldn't have it. She said
tilie'd 'pay or bust , ' and she did both , for
it took every cent she had saved for two
years. "
"I haven't any use for those people who
nro kicking because the city hasn't bet
tor coiincilmon , " remarked Councilman
Clmrlio Goodrich lat > t evening. "Whoso
fault is it ? Why , it's the fault of the
kickers. TJ.oy are tlio very ones thai
can't bo dragged to the primaries , and
then they complain because better men
are not selected. Why don't they coino
out and see lo it that good men are put
up ? I tell you if llioy are the ones tnat
have the most at stake they should give
some attention to the selection of candi
dates and not hold back until tlio others
have done the work anil then squeal be
cause it was not done to suit them. No ,
sir , I haven't a bit of use for that kind ol
men. " And Mr , Goodrich emphasized
his words by dropping suddenly into a
chair and folding his hands across his
abdominal regions.

Francis on Farmers.
The Mnrch report of the Department of
Agriculture has nn interesting chapter
on "Frauds upon Farmers. " Most of it
s devoted to liohcininn oats , eonccrninc
which the following is said :
In the March circular were Included In
quiries whether the Bohemian onts had been
ntroduced , whether sold hy accnts or seed
companies. at wliat rales sold , their quantity
ind productiveness , and also what other
frauds luivo been practiced by adventurers
claiming to bu agents for the sale of poods as
sumed to bo desirable. Correspondents re-
mrt the attempt in some form to sell this
train at exliorbltntit rates lit twenty-live
states and the presence or the aw i its of the
organized swindle In eighteen. Ohio is the
center of the Infection , reports have been ro"
cclveil from forty-llvo counties. Indiana
makes return of operations In twenty-four
counties. From Michigan comu reports from
sixteen counties , mostly In the .southern part
of the state , most of them among ttic richest
ind most popilous ; and from ton counties
n different parts of Illinois. In Wisconsin ,
'Minnesota and Iowa aircnts have appeared
at fewer points , and only an occasional foray
i.ts as yet been made Into Missouri , Kansas ,
Nebraska and Dakota on the west , and Into
\ontticky and Tennessee southward. Agents
iave appeared In several counties In western
New 1 ork ( ten arc reported ) and in Poiin-
lylvanla , and a few In West Virginia. One
s reported in Now London , Conn. , and one
n Waldo , Ma Altogether there an ; 1KO
counties where this train ! is reported and It Is
xisslblo , and indeed probable , that a com-
) leto report would reveal Its existence In 'MO
xmntles ,
The mode of operating the swindle is
: hcn described , the remark being made
that this scums necessary for the farmers
of the south , where the scheme is now
being extensively operated. Continuing ,
the report says :
The losses that have accrued are already
mmonso. These returns do not give them
except in a few Instances , Itwould require
further time and prove a dlfllcult umloitalc-
ng , yet it is claimed that In some counties
they would roach 810,030. 1'robably 3100,000
would not cover them in Ohio , and possibly
.ho aggregate lor all the states Would reacli
several hundred thousand dollars. A loss of
3100 by one man Is common , and sonic cases
are reported ot S1OCO. Ono of the early promoters
meters of the scheme in northern Ohio ,
Henry L. Bacon , was last year sentenced to
seven years' Imprisonment in the Ohio pen
itentiary by a court at Akron for forgeries In
connection with this traud. Others should
follow speedily.
The returns relating to quality repre
sent invariably that those Bohemian or
liullcss oats are of inferior quality , not
worth us much us ordinary oats. Ono of
the most competent judges in this conn-
Lry Mr. ierdiunud Schumacher , the
well-known oatmeal manufacturer of
Akron , O. in a letter to the commis
sioner of agriculture , makes the follow
ing statements in regard to them :
1 do not want them for oatmeal even at
[ lie same price with common oats. 1 do not
know oC a mill anywhere using them for
oatmeal , and 1 do not know of a fanner sowIng -
Ing them more than twice. 1 do not know of
any section in this county where the experi
ment with them has been n success. They
liavc no standing in any of our grain mar
kets.
kets.Mr. . W. T. Walker , chief clerk in the
ollico of the secretary of state of Ohio ,
replying to a question as to the responsi
ility of one of the Bohemian oat compa
nies of that state , said : "Those seed
men are a set of swindlers. There is not
a dollar of security hero for their bonds.
Don't deal with them. "
Our courts , " says H. Talcott , trcas-
surer of the state Grange of the Patrons
of "arc full of lawsuits "
Husbandry , , re
ferring to lawsuits growing out of con
tracts made in connection with Bohe
mian oats. In ono county , Wyundot ,
over n dozen cases are said to bu on tile
against Bohemian oats.
As the name Bohemian is becoming
somewhat notorious , we begin to hear ot
Austrailian and Russian oats ; and other
varieties , or the old variety under other
names , may bo expected to aupcar. Cases
nro also reported from a number of local
ities in Ohio. Indiana , ana other stales in
which "hulless barley" and pretended
new varieties of wheat , beam ) ' ' sucli
fancy names as "Gold Dust , " "Seneca
Chief , " "Hed Line , "etc. , are being of
fered for sale at high prices the wheat as
high as $15 per bushel and upon the
same plan as has been followed with Bo
hemian oats. It is not necessary to know
anything of the quality of the grain of
fered on that plan to understand that
tlieso schemes arc fraudulent , because n
plan which presupposes that the crop can
be sold year after year nt the same price
as the seed , when the latter is twenty or
thirty times tiiq ordinary market price of
the gram , manifests a palpable Jack of
common sense.
The correspondents of the department
send reports of various other frauds that
with more or less success _ are being prac
ticed on farmers in different parts ot the
country. Agents for I ho sale of fruit
trees , fertilizers , stoves , cooking ranges ,
and various other articles , succeed in
many instances in soiling these wnfas at
two or three times their value , or getting
the farmers' money lor tilings that prove
utterly worthless. The devices for get
ting n farmer's signature to some paper
which can bo changed into a negotiable
note and sold for casli nro too numerous
to mention. A favorite rule is to got him
to act as agent for the sale of some arti
cle of farm machinery , leave some of the
articles with him , and take his receipt for
thorn in such a form that , with or with
out change , it can be used as a note for
the amount at which they nro valued.
'
Another device is that'of taking orders
for some subscription book in some
cases the Revised Now Testament and
converting such orders into notes. Still
another is the ono operated by the pretended
tended agent of a Bible or tract society ,
who presents himself ut a farm house
about dinner-time ami accepts an in-
vit lion to dine on condition that ho may
bo allowed to pay for his meal. The so
ciety , lie says , requires that ho should pay
his way , and to prove that he has done
so ho links the farmer's sigimturoj to a
form of receipt which lie carries with
him. In course of time this receipt
comes back to the farmer in the form of
a note for some bum of money filled in
by the plausible swindler.
A lightning-rod agent agrees to put
up lightning rods about u house for $5 ,
and presents n bill for flOS , $100 for the
rods and $5 for putting them up. The
collection ot royalties on some patented
article found in the fanner's possession ,
the sale of worthless recipes for the man
ufacture of lertui/.erd , the sale of rights
for u worthless patent process for curing
tobacco , tlio collection of fees by pretended
tended ptlicinls , such as boiler inspectors ,
"tho drive-well fraud , " a variety of insurance -
suranco frauds , and the sale of worthless
receipts for the cure of "hog cholera" or
otiicr animal diseases , are among the
numerous swindling devices mentioned
by the correspondents of the depart
ment.
Horse and Mule Breeding.
The prospect for making money by
keeping cattle on tlio open range and
ranch is not as good as it was a few yours
ago. The bpst locations liavo been secured -
cured , and witli rare exceptions , the nat
ural ( supplies of water are controlled by
partial who use them as they Uo private
properly. In many of the territories
there are combinations among the ranch
men who have been on the ground for
several years that place all the dilliculties
they conveniently can in tlio way of new
comers. They liavo largo capital , and
uro able to exert a powerful political in-
llneiieo. They can obtain breeding stock
to bettor advantage than men who are
seeking to establish themselves , and can
secure inoro favorable terms for trans
portation. They have prospered as few
persons have who linvo been engaged in
any department of stock-raising. Many
of them will continue to make mbnev , as
they have experience , capital and facili
ties that are now dillicult to secure. Ac
cording to the reports of several ranch
and range companies made at the close
of last year the profits on the capital in
vested wore small. A comparatively
high price wns pnid for young caltlo ,
wlijlo beeves sold * at low figures. The
notion of the nati6nal government In re
lation to grazing lands In Indian Terri
tory and the ejection of wire fences on
public lands has boon unfavorable to the
interests of many ranchmen.
Hog raising is lees prolitnula than It has
been ntany litnufliiico the beginning of
the civil war. Tho"prico of pork products
Is very low. Our pork Is excluded from
several countries \yhoro it was once ex
tensively sold.j The periodical alarms
iibout trichina m this country ns well as
in foreign countries liavo caused many
people , especially in largo towns , to
abandon tlio use of pork. The swine
disease popularly known as the hot ?
cholera has made the business of produc
ing pork very hazardous. There is inoro
risk from disease in keeping hogs than in
keeping any other kind of domesticated
animals , feeders who keep hogs in con
nection with caltlo they nro butchering
for the market they derive Ihomost profit
from thorn. The pork they produce is a
clear gain. Very few extensive stock
raisers now feed corn or other grains di
rectly to hogs. The outlook for largo
gains in keening sheep is very poor.
Wool and ordinary mutton nro very low.
While many nro not inclined lo sacrifice
Ihoir Hocks of Hliecp , few desire lo In
crease thomi Some find llioro is a profit
in supplying Iho local market with mut
ton ; others wish mutton for their own ta
bles , mid n few keep sheep for Iho pur-
nose of keening up the fertility of their
land. All sheep raisers are hopeful of a
favorable turn In their business.
The prospects for making money in
breeding and raising horses and mules
wore never bettor titan they are now.
Horses of all descriptions command good
prices. As wertltn increases in huge
cities there is an increasing demand for
horses that will make fast time on the
race-course for line carriage horses , and
for riding horses. The demand for heavy
draft horses for use on drays and trans
fer wagons was never better. The de
mand for middle-weight horses is also
good. The increase of street-car lines in
all largo towns calls for n largo number
of horses suitable for drawing cars.
Street railways inako a demand for more
horses than ordinary railways ever dis
placed. The development of Dakota
and the western provinces of Canada has
created a great demand for horses in the
northwest. They are wanted not only
for ordinary farm work , but for drawing
stages and doing general teaming.
These parts of the continent will require
more horses than they can produce dur
ing the next twenty years. The lirst settlers
tlors of any now country cannot engage
in horsc-hrending very extensively. They
have not the capital to purchase breeding
stock , to erect stables , and to enable
them lo wait till animals grow to a size
that they can bo nut to work.
They find it to their advantage to raise
cattle and hogs for beyond years after
they have settled on their places.
Although thcidcrnand for mules in the
states north of.'Mls'squri is small , owing
to a foolish prejudice against them , the
demand for thorn in the south is us good
as over , and promises to continue. Rais
ing mules for the sduthorn market is a
profitable busii > esslorallvlio ; are so situ-
tiled that tbcy ban cfngago in it. Missou
ri , Kansas , l or'aska and Iowa are well
situated for breeding and raising mules.
The climate is favorable , whilograss , corn
and oats are leading crops. St. Louis is
the largest mule market in the world , and
it is easily rcaohod by railway or river
communication by parties living in any
of those states ; Extensive buildings for
protection aro' > not so essential for mules
as for horses. Shelters for mules can be
made of verychdarJ'niatoriuls. ' The nmlo
is a hardy creature and will stand expos
ure that _ will greatly injure ahorse. .
Marcs suitable for raising mule colts can
be obtained from Oregon or the western
territories at comparatively low prices ,
and good jacks can bo bought in Missou
ri and the states further south. Parties
proposing to engage in the business re
quire considerable capital , as there will
be no returns for at least two yeaiv. Af
ter that time a "crop" of mules can bo
sold each year , and the expenditure of
labor and money will bb small.
The raising of horses and mules can bo
carried on in connection with grain-
raising and general farming in most of
the western states and territories to ex
cellent advantage. Most of the plowing
is done in the fall , and the mures that
are expected to drop colts m the spring
can do this work. The mule or horse
eolts wijl bo of a size to bp separated
from their dams before it is time to com
mence cutting grass for hay or harvest
ing grain. The marcs thatjhavo dropped
colts in tlio spring can drawjtho { mower
and reaper in tlio siimm orand early fall ,
and can plow the land for another crop
later in the season. By judicious man
agement the marcs can bo made' Ip do
work enough to nay for their keep , so
that their colts will be n net gain. All
the food for the marcs and their progeny
can bo raised on tlio place , and there wijl
bo no money outlay , except for male ani
mals and buildings for shelter. At pres
ent prices there is more money in draft
animals than those raised in stipplyin"
meat. That such a state of things will
continue for a considerable time seems
likely. The demand for horses in all.
countries increases as wealth and civili
zation increase.
Soil for ( Grapevines.
Mr. Albert SutJi.ro , of California , who
is traveling in southern Europe in curch
of information pertaining to fruit culture ,
writes to the San Francisco Chronicle :
One of the chief essentials ot the bust
wine seems to bu the poorness of soil. It
is n fiiot that impresses the observer Who
examines the vineyards on the baio hill

those of Graves , St. Kmllion , and some

from the sca < i wlfoso tidal influence
is felt some twenty pr thirty miles further
inland. Most oi' tip | department is level ,
or composed of small hills such as the
1 < ranch cull ma'inblbns , which rise often
to a height of 'only forty or lifty feet.
Mcdoo lies on the south Hide of the river ,
between Dordcaiucand the sou , the space
occupied by vineyards beginning a few
miles uftor loaflngiho city , ami having
nn average lunsftn'of lifty miles by an
nvorago width of six or seven. The
imunclons in this region are gentle
swellings of tlio surface , sometimes at
their highest elevations no moro than
twenty or thirty feet above the general
level of Iho plain. The whole district
was evidently once covered with pines ,
of which a few of not very imposing pro
portions remain hero and them in small
graves , some of them coming from the
sowitijrof the seed. The sou is technic
ally described as ' 'silico-gravelous and
sometimes calnarcqu-s. " but tlio chance
observer sees little of it but the pebbles
which appear in successive- layers in the
the railroad cuttings , and so thoroughly
cover the ground that in tlio winter
they pivo tlio impression of snow.
Tlio soil would in California bo consid
ered the poorest of the poor. Nothing
can bo cultivated on it pxcopt vines , and if
tlieso were' found unprofitable it would
have to bo loft to return to its original
condition of pitta barrens or absolute
nakedness and fatortility , There were in
.the district marshes that have , been
( trained , but they do not produce the beat
of wines , and outside the limits named
some vineyards have been planted in
snnds like those of fhe Sahara , which
promise lo do well after a little time.
Tlio land absolutely filled with the round ,
smooth , while pebbles is considered Iho
best us regards quality of wine , and the
Bordolals merchants will point out to Iho
stranger and explain its capabilities with
pndo , Ihouuh il looks as if a potalo vine
planted in it would perish of inanition.
However , by the use of fertilizers , Iho
vine not only nourishes , but grass and
weeds come in , which requires constant
care to eradicate. The reclaimed marsh
lands and the low lying meadows are less
barren , but they nro also less beloved by
Iho vine , and the wines are not held iit
high esteem in Bordeaux.
Tonmto I'lnntg.
Prof. K. S. GolV , of the Now York Ex
periment Station , states that tomato
plants from self-grown iced ripen into
fruit nearly ns curly us those started early
in the hot-bed. In order to discover how
much time is gained in securing ripe
fruits by forcing the young plants wo
planted a few seeds of Iho Livingston's
Favorite tomato iu hills in Iho open
ground in the garden on April 8-1. placing
about ten scuds in eaclt lull. Tlieso had
vegetated on May 13. No especial cure
was given the young plants , and they
wore not covered at any time lo protect
thorn from frosts. As they grow largo
enough to crowd each other they were
thinned to ono plant in a hill , and afterward -
ward received exactly the same treatment -
mont as the plants that were transplant
ed from the hot-bed. The plants from
seeds planted in the open ground ,
ripened the lirst fruit August 81 ,
or 110 days from planting ,
while plants of the same variety
ronionod from tlio hot-bod planted Marcn
28 ripened their first fruit August 10 , or
114 days from planting. In oilier words ,
plants grown entirely in the open ground
matured fruit in twenty-live days shorter
time than those which were cared for i n
the hot-bed the first two months of Ihclr
existence , The result is certainly strik
ing , and suggests that the chock given to
the plants at the time of transplanting
may have been nearly sufficient to over
balance all the time gained by forcing.
Wo wcro careful to harden tlio plants m
the hot-bed botoro removing them to the
garden , and , in order that tlio shock of
transplanting might bo felt as litllo as
possible , we potted the plants several
days before replanting thorn in the gar
den , carelullv shading them until they
were rooted in tlio pots. Did tlio Irans-
planting cheek the growth so much , or
did Iho heat of the hot-bed enfeeble
them ? The subject merits further ex
periment.
Seasonable Hints find Suggestions.
Uowure of inferior seed at this season.
Time lost iu Iho use of such cannot bo re
gained.
Wood ashes and plaster make an excel
lent fertilizer for all kinds of grass crops
and should bo freely used.
Pigs farrowed now will make very rap
id growth , and will gain nearly ns fust
as those that wcro farrowed in the full
and wintered over.
Raspberries throw up a great many
suckers , and these should bo thinned
out , leaving not over four canes to the
hill , so as to afford plenty of room.
President McCann , of thoElmiraFarm
ers' club , suggests that cows subject to
garget or other diseases of the udder bo
sent to tlio shambles instead of being
used as breeders.
If you wish to grow a good crop of oats
do not delay getting the seeds in. Oats
delight in the plentiful rains of spring
and grow rapidly as soon as the ground
begins to become warm.
A correspondent of Tick's ' Magazine
thinks the white spruce superior to the
Norway in hardiness and beauty. The
Colorado blue spruce is suggested as ono
that will bo widely planted when it is bet
ter known.
The finest stalks of asparagus are raised
by giving the plants plenty of room. Sot
the roots four feet apart and three feet in
the rows. Keep the land free from weeds
and manure every vear on the surface.
The manure should be line and well-
rotted.
Regarding the economy of using ensil
age u Minnesota dairyman claims that lie
can winter a cow'on six tons of it , and
that the cost should not exceed 40 cents a
ton , or $2.40 for the winter. It cannot bo
produced in many other locations as
cheaply us ho stales.
To cure a cow of the habit of sucking
herself , says the Jersey Bulletin , make a
saturated tincture of powdered aloes and
alcohol , keep it in a mucilage bottle ,
tightly corked , and paint the end of each
teat with the mixture , and the cow will
soon become disgusted.
The sheep should bo well sheltered ul
night and should have plenty of room.
It i.s best at this season to separate alt
wethers from the owes , and if the latter
are not crowded they will produce
stronger lambs and bo in bettor condi
tion for nursing Ihem in the spring ,
owing to more steady access to food , as
well as receiving more euro and attention
Sheep require a variety of food to form
ilcsh and fat , and unless it is supplied it
is not stipposablo that they will grow
rapidly enough to prove profitable.
Sometimes there will ue two or tlirco
sheep in a Hock which will not eat well
or fatten. Such animals should be culled
out without delay , as it is only a waste of
grain and lime lo continue feeding them
longer.
The physical nature and complexion of
soils and their varied conditions have
much to do with the FUCCOBH or failure
of fruit culture. All varieties of fruit
prefer and as far as practicable , should
have soil congenial to their wants ,
where they ' flourish best and grow to per
fection wi'tli Jens maniiro mid cultivation ,
but if il is not possible for every farmer
lo liavo Iho soil best suited for fruits ho
should come us near it as possible.
Nearly all gardeners transplant cab
bage plants , but a successful grower
writes that ho sows the seed in rows
twonty-ono inches aparl in order lo allow
of cultivating the plants with a harrow.
After they reach tlio size at which trans
planting is done he transplants all of
those in every alternate rowlhinning , the
remaining rows until tlio plants stand
two feet apart. The rows uro three and
one-half feet apart. Ho claims that they
do as well as those transplanted from
seed sown in tlio ordinary way.

from the women.
In this destitute state the Americans were
permitted to depart. Fortunately , the nox <
morning they were picked up by a French
vessel. The captain immediately returned to

to find that nil his cargo had boon taken off
by thu natives , who Imd torn the bark's sails
to pieces , stripped oil her metal , ami finally
