Hoar , of Concord , Mass. , for attorney's foes on behalf of tlio state of Nebraska In the United Suites suprunio court when the casu of the state and J. Sterling Morton over tlio saline lands at tills city were in that court on trial. The case , as all know , resulted in n. verdict for the state , but it would seem by the claim Illod that the attorney's foes have never been paid , Unit is in full. H. W. rtirnas was governor at the time , and claimant recites that ho was employed by the executive ; that n retainer of $5)0 ) was paid liy the state , but when the balance of the bill was re tutored llioro were no funds with which to pay. U will undoubt edly create some surprise that the bill has not been uald heretofore , and in its fu ture conrso before the legislature all such facts ) will undoubtedly bo ascertained.

The fund , however , for payment for bringing back fugitives to justice is exhausted. The railroad commission has been la boring for soreral days over the question of recommending a depot at Algernon , nnd while it doesn't make any difference so tar as the depot is concorncd whether it is recommended or not , it looks as though it would bo refused , in which case the attorney general will dissent. ALLIANCE nr.SOLUTIONS. Now Departure Alliance , Lancaster County , Nob. , Feb. 3 , 1837. To the Hon orable Delegation in Congress from Ne braska Gontlomeu : The following me morial was this day adopted by this alli- nnco mid ordered to bo forwarded to YOU through the public press. Wo ask , that ns measures are brought forward from time to time for your consideration , that you remember that numer ous class of your constituency' , the farmers. It is our opinion that at least three-fourths of all the agri cultural wealth of this state has bcou absorbed by monopolistic corporations brought into existence by J the direct inlUionco of congressional log- " isliUion and Is at this time n lieu upon the "P'uturo industries of the people. Wo are * jontributing our percentage of dividends Jon more than $3,000,000,000 of fictitious j'railroad stocks , Wu are paying a needless - loss L'tantf tax , averaging 40 per cent. Those are burdens that cannot bo borne. Agrioulturn and farm industries are not developing , but are rapidly declining. If llieso bunions are not lifted from oil'tho necks of thu people the agricultural pop ulation of this state will be swept oil'into financial rack and nun. Owing to this protective tariff , which in effect prohibits foreign countries selling to us , has caused them to Justly proscribe our ox- ports. A few years ago wo could market our wheat at | 1 per bushel. It has been EteadilT declining until it is now a drug in our local market aHO cents per bushel , nnd all other agricultural products have declined far below cost of production. Eastern manufacturers takintr advantage of our necessities and knowing that wo arc powerless to get goods from any source are Hooding us with their goods , which are sold at enormous profits. Those goods in many cases are so poor ii ) quality that they are not worth car rying home. We view with just indigna- tion nnd nlnrm the recent defeat of the ieople'8 ehoire for the United States senate , the lion C. H. Van \\yok , irought about , as wo bcliovo by the noncy power of jriant corporation * vornu-d into life by tlfti strong arm nnd ib'T.il hand of government ixiwer. We isk that you inn your vote and inlluenco o secure the submission of an amend ment to tlio constitution admitting ot the election of United States pnnator by n di rect veto of the people. We. further ask hat a department of agriculture nnd labor MJ provided for , to be presided over by a cabinet minister , \\oview with grave concern the effort now being made by members of congress to roual internal revenue , or so modify the law ns to re- luce surplus. This can have no other of- 'eet than to transfer the burden of pen sion payments from articles of luxury ind vice , and place them upon .ho articles of prime necessity Unit daily goto sustain the lives of tnc poor. We beg lo assure you that many if our members arc veteran soldiers of the late war ; that many of our comrades scattered throughout the union languish- ng in poor houses or hanging upon the ragged edge of poverty , are calling upon us for evidence upon which to base a pension claim. It appears from the Dlnitkq furnished that the pension depart ment requires that the party giving the evidence , after the lapse of twenty-live years , must describe , under oath , and name tlio spud lie character of di.scaso upon which applicant buses his claim for pension. This is either set up to admit of men to commit perjury in order to aid a comrade , ( for it is n fact that there was not one man in each 1,000 in the army , outside of tlio medical department , that could name the disease , though thu patient was dying in his arms , not being medical exports , ) or as an olfcctual bar against the just el-iims ot the nation's de fenders , who were true to their country during the limo of our country'a greatest : rial. In cither case it would have brought the bluish of shame to the faces of barbarians of lliu dark ages. In the future as in the past wo will bo true to those principles that belong to American citizenship. LUTIIKU UATTEN , President pro torn. I. N. LEONARD , Secretary. m POUCK COUHT. Yesterday the man Long.who has boon serving n , sentence in the city jail for his row of a few weeks ago , finished his sen tence but was immediately rearrested on a charge of felonious assault onOllicer Guntrim. The police judge lined him fiO ! and costs and at last reports Long was rustling for the wherewith to keep from laying tlio term of sentence in jail. A party who was ashamed to give his name was in police court yesterday charged with attending the policemen's ball the nigjit before and carrying to that entertainment a revolver on his per son , lie paid into court $5 and costs. AUOUT THE CITY. There is a good deal of severe criticism exercised by honest tax-payers in Lincoln against their money shark senator who voted to perpetuate the railroad commis sion fraud upon a burdened people. It appears that the impression was abroad with a number that this wretched repre sentative was going lo stand up to a little economy but they evidently did not know their man. A burdened public need not look that way for relief. The policeman's annual ball held at Temple hall Wednes day night was very largely attended , over 150 couple being among those present who danced the hours away. The police force cleared a hand some sum of money as tlio profit on the ball , and the pri/.e offered for tlio most popular lady was awarded to Mrs. Thomas Noonan. The BEE , in reporting the late clothing house tire , fell into error as to the firm that suffered the loss , the lire being in the store of Randall Bros , instead of the Baker clothing house as reported , the latter house being a block away from the scone. The West Lincoln hog market was bet tor yesterday than the day before , both in receipts and prices , the number of hogs received during the day being 000 against 400 the day before. Prices yes terday touched the highest notch yet siiico the ononing of the packing houses , $5 a hundred being paid for choice lots and the lowest price of the day being $1.80. The supply still continues to bo far below the actual demands for slaugh tering. An eminent Presbyterian divine an nounced to his congregation that ho must take u vacation on account of bronchitis ; tlio ciders raised his salary and gave him Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup , lie was cured. My daughter suffered greatly with neuralgia in the face and forehead and was unabln to secure any relief. I saw Salvation Oil advertised , sent for a bottle and ono application gave entire relief. J. S. McCAULLEY ( Policeman ) . Residence 201 N. Bond St. , Balto. , Md. C3A Smoking Car Incident. Chicago Herald : A little man with gray eyes rushed into tlio smoking room of a Pullman car on the Chicago & At lantic road the other day , and , taking a safety match from the safe on the wall , began scratching the percussion end on the woodwork. Two bald-headed men who wore sitting in the compartment smiled serenely as they watched the little fellow's vain efforts to strike a light. "you can't light ono of those matches unless you strike the emery paper on the side of the safe , " said ono of the specta tors , becoming annoyed nt the rasping noise. The "greeny" smiled complacently and said lie guessed ho could. Another match was rubbed along the panels of the room , then across thu solo of a big right foot , and finally broken in a diag onal sweep over a pantaloon leg. "You ' do it I tell " can't , you , re peated the same spectator , shifting bis position. "Botcher $5 I can , " replied the little man. "But you will light it in your cigar. " 'No , sir. Do you want to coyer that bet ? " "Certainly. " "And docs your friend want another ? 5 of it. " "Of course , " said tlio other spectator , speaking for himself. Four $5 bills wore piled upon ono an other in quick order , and tlum the little man took a match from the safe , walked up to the door and rubbed the percussion head along the ground , llinty glass. The little stick burst into tlamo and burned rapidly as tlio little man picked up the four bills and walked out upon thu plat form to enjoy the crisp air. Alter ho had gone the bald-headed men spoke to ono another in a strange tongue. Delicate diseases , as nervous dibility and pormature weakness , however , in duced , radically cured.

A Gnlvnnlrml Nlcliol. NEi.tnn , Jan. 20. To the Editor of the BEE : Heprcsentativo Nichol arrived at this place on Saturday evening and was not as well received ns ho might have I been. It was a pitiful sight to see lusile- | jeeted countenance when no ono would shake him by the hand. At this town there are several old veteran soldiers who sorely lament the defeat of General Van Wyck , and knowing nt the same time that they voted for a man who helped lo encompass his defeat. If it had been generally known when our repre sentative would arrive there would have been a large number of Indignant citi- HODS to meet him at tlio depot. As it was there were enough to show him , and the venal ctew who used every unholy means to defeat the people's choice , tli.it the hour is very near when an outraged people ple will so organize that the Hireling vampires of despotic power will not rule in our fair sl.Uo and nation. From all parts of this county wo hear nothing but deep chagrin over the Lincoln infamy. AJAX. Cntiilng County Hoard From. WIST ; POINT , Jan 30.'tto tlio Editor of the BEE : Tlio defeat of tlio people's champion , lion. Charles II. Van Wyck , has fallen upon us , regardless of party , as a great calamity. Wo have learned to our sorrow , in this defeat , that the railroad coopers gobbled the nincompoops at Lincoln. Wo have read with disgust tlio dirty Ilings of the Omaha Herald at the twenty-seven bravo democrats who stood up for the people's champion. With Dr. Miller at Omaha and Dr. Bear at Norfolk , God help the democrats. In Cmmiig county wo are free American citizens. Wo want the bone and sinew to be represented. Wo said so at the polls last November in voting for lion , Charles 11. Van Wyek. To Dr. Bear be longs wart of the honor in .sending that man Fuller to represent this senatorial district at Lincoln. While we mourn tlio defeat of Mr. Van Wyck , wo rejoice to know that our honored son from Cuminp county stood solid as the rock of Gibral tar. \ \ oil done J. H. Barrett. Wo watched your course at Lincoln. Your record is clearer than electric light. Wo feel proud of you. Your backbone was too stifl to associate with the traitors who will re turn to their nothingness when the legis lature adjourns. AMEUICAN CITIZEN. Strong Kesolut ionH. GitEEN"\vooi ) . Jan. 30. To the Editor of the BEE : At a meeting of the citixens of Greenwood and vicinity to consider the senatorial legislative situation the tallowing resolutions were adopted amid much enthusiasm : Whereas , We believe that tlio conduct ot eertaiu members of our state legislature In the matter ot tlio election of United Status senator merits the just indignation of every honorable man , therefore bo it lipsolved , That we do hereby denounce all those traitors to party anil piinciple who have so wiltullv set aside the wishes ot the voters of Jyebraska , and bo it fintlier Itesolved , That wo hereby reiterate our former declarations that wo will support no man for n legislative oltlco who will not Uo- clare himselt for the people and against all monopolies , rings and rinshtors. Unsolved , Furthermore , that a copy of tlieso resolutions ho hont to the Omaha Bii : : and also to the State Democrat for publica tion. Resolutions were also adopted justify ing Representatives Jeary and Satchell in the recent senatorial canvass , and ex pressing confidence in their honor and fidelity to the interests of tlio people. At the conclusion of the meeting Hon. Mr. lliggins was presented with a gold- headed c.ino in recognition of the worthy manner in which ho has so far served his constituents. M. Kutsell's Political Perjury. SciiYur.Eit , Jan 81. To the Editor of the BEE : Your expose of the Judases who betrayed tlio friend of the people , Chas. II. Van Wyck , has created some thing of a sensation in this community. That Russell has proved false to the trusts reposed in him by his constituency , has caused a deep feeling of indignation among the men who gave him their suf frages in tlio expectation of his giving un divided support to the senator of their choico. It is well known that Hiifsoll's predilections , as well as those of his most ardent supporters , were anti-Van Wyck , But professing a change of heart wo suc ceeded in getting Mr. Russell the nomi nation and election. These same men , when Senator Van yyck spoke hero , were loudest in their prai&cs of the "Grand Old Man. " Time rolled on and the news of Pad- doclc's election reached us. Who are those men throwing their hats UP and shouting , "We are glnd of itl Van Wyck was an old fraud anyway. " Look sharp and you will recognize thorn. Yes , those same faces that four months ago , were pressed so closely around our senior sen ator. The only difference is thai , the bland insinuating smile has given place to a grin of triumph. And again wo iind them championing the "much-abused Russoll. " But such stuff as that will not wash. The voters of this country have been two often fooled by these harpies to bo led astray by any such shouts as these. This political Judas may as well pur chase his potter's field , for the people of Colfax county have no more aso for him , and will dig his grave so deep that there will bo no resurrection. S , Knox County Republicans Disgusted. CitKiaiiTON , Jan. 20. To the Editor of the BEU : The defeat of Charles II. Van Wyck has aroused the just indignation of his friends in this part of tlio state , and it will not bo easy to overcome ; I have heard men say during the last four daysi " 1 have voted the straight republican ticket for the last twenty-live years , but I will never vote another. " If republican ism means the moneyed aristocracy , against the will of the people expressed by them at the ballot box , 1 am no longer a republican if straight republicans think they can control the party through monopoly henchmen against the will of tlio majority , 1 fear they will iind they have weakened the party , and ore long it will lose its power and prestige. Ono thousand anil seventy-six voters of Knox county out of 1,000 expressed their pref erence for Van Wyck and you can rest assured they fcol the insult of his defeat , by republican traitors , keenly , and they will resent , it at the ballot box. Nothing that has happened for the last ten years has so weakened tha republican party as Van Wyok's defeat.by . boss and ring rule , and the self-constituted loaders.who have no principle higher than money , must ne overcome , or the pcoplo will rise in their power and take the law in their own bauds to enforce. Are we a free people or are wo in the power of the giant monopoly , who has got his death grip on our throats. The principles of the party as advocated by Abraham Lincoln have lost their silver tone , and degenerated republicans must raise the war cry of bloody-shirt or fear of democratic ascendancy to keep the party in line and cover their own rotten ness , The defeat of Van Wyck simply shows what corporate monopoly and traitors will do to accomplish tiieir ends. It shows that Instead of n government of the people , for the people , and by the people , onrs Is a government of monopo lies , for monopolies , and by monopo lies , for the purpose of placing the toil ing masses in abject bondage worse than African slavery. What is the republican party doing to-day for the pcoplo ; the people ara not heard when calling loudly for much-needed laws for their protec tion , because their chosen representatives have become traitors to the pcoplo and sold themselves to the monopolies , I have worn the parly yoke of republican ism for twenty years ? but must say I am ashamed of the republican parly of Ne braska. . Van Wyck Is not defeated , but the pco plo are , nnd in my Opinion lie will prove the liveliest corpse that his enemies ever carried to a political grave yard during the next ton years , if ho livc.s and has his health. The people of these western states have become tired of their yoke of bondage , and have commenced the bat tle for justice , and if they cannot get it by the republican party , they will by some other , See how the republican majority in Iowa has been reduced from 85.000 to less than lO.OOO ; the state of Minnesota almost going democratic in 1880 , and other strong republican states becoming almost in doubt about their being clas cd as republican states longer. What is the cause of tlusf 1 answer : bossism , ringrule , monopoly , treachery , bribery , whisky , railroads , and such like. Men who now wear the collar labeled republican , who vote for party instead of principle , will find when top lute that they nave buried the republican party beyond icsiircctioii. EMMET BAUUEU. Thnt "Koll of Honor. " ILvuTiNaTos , Neb. , Jan. 31. To the Editor of the BEE : A democratic senator , H. E. Boiie.stcel , was elected from this , the Eleventh district , solely on account of his pledge to vote for Van Wyck , if there was no show ot electing a democrat. Our representative ; Dr. G. F. Kclper , of Pierce county , representing Pierce and Cedar counties , voted for Van Wyck. The Omaha Herald calls Bono- steel a traitor , etc. , for doing just what Koipcr did , but as tlio Herald did not place Mr. Kcipor's name in its roll of honor , it must have been an oversight , as it was not placed in its list of traitors. However , let the monopoly orpran go on with its "rat-killing ; " it hurts itsulf more than it does anyoue else. RAV. "Converted" liy Paul. ST. PAtrr , , Neb. , Jan. 31. To thn Editor of tiio BEE : Wilhelmsen , our rcpicsenta- tivc ( ? ) from this county ( Howard ) , lias been at homo for a few days during the recess of legislation at Lincoln. Ho is an extremely unpopular man at present among his constituents. There were nearly si\ hundred votes east in prefer ence for Van Wyck nnd ho promised us faithiully to vote for the "old man. " The first ballot bo east was for Weaver and after that for Paddock to the end , never varying. Jim Paul , of St. Paul , was at Lincoln during the caucus and doubtless instructed Wilhulmscii how to vote. Wil- helmsen's constituents are very indig nant about his conduct and refuse to take any explanation of it. AL Wants Kntr Piny. CuEifiirroN.Nob.Jan.31. To the Editor of the Ur.E : The following clipping from the editorial page of the Omaha 1 lei aid , attracted my attention on account of its utter falsity : Mr. John H. Markiev , the clover and bright you n ir leader of Knox county ilcmocracv. broiieht to Omaha and the Herald last niuht some very pr.itlfylnc information regarding the indignation at "Hunirstarter" llnnustecl'H treachery to Ills constituency. There Is al ways a ilav of leokoulnj ; for politicians who violate their promises. On their arrival here Senator Bono- fetccl and Representative Turner wore met at the depot by u large number of townsmen and farmers , accompanied bv a band. All present seemed to heartily anprove of thn course of those gentle man in voting for Van Wyck. 1 am afraid Mr. filarklcy discovered that "jn- dignation" by tho'aid of Schweuk's " ( ire water , " whilst on his \yay to Omaha. The. almost universal fesling here is ono of deep disappointment at the defeat of Van Wyck. Many of the farmers scorn to regard him as a personal friend. I am not a Van Wyck man , but I want to see fair play. F. J. F. Wliltmorc's Waterloo. ELKIIOUNNeb. . , Jan. 31. To the Edi tor of the BEE : Since the senatorial conlest wo have been receiving Omaha and Lincoln papers with marked para graphs , cxonoralmg Mr. Whitmans from tlio high-handed "schuldugory" to defeat General Van Wyck , and Iind that the majority of the citizens of the county have been treated to the same Kind of " " "A conscieiico needs "pap. guilty no accuser , " and if Mr.Vliitniore thinks for a moment that this kind of .soft solder will go down with his constituents ho is mightily mistaken. It is well known by the entire community that Mr. Whit- more went to Lincoln as the nc- Knowlcdgcd leader of the Doug las county delegation , nnd pledged to vote for Van Wyck first , last and al ways. How he has kept that pledge wo all know to our sorrow. There yet will bo a day of reckoning. Let those traitors look well to their laurels next election day. "By their deeds shall ye know them. " And wo are surprised at the Waterloo News and Elkhorn Leader tak ing up the gauntlet and lauding Mr. Whitmore to the seven heavens. What for ? Why , simply for turning traitor to his constituents , But it is not to bo won dered at , knowing both to bo good democrats and tlio ruse to defeat the "good old man" being tin old democratic dodge revived. And further , if both edi tors are not nearly millionaires , or at least on the high road to great wealth , they are ready to tumble in with tlio monopoly , and assist in making the rich richer and tlio poor poorer. A CONSTITUENT. Ffvo Pointed Questions. . GHAKTON , Neb. "Jan. 31. To the Editor of the BEE : As the smoke rises from the .senatorial battki-lielil , dti/eim all over the land who , duringlongunxiotis weeks , watched with an interne earnestness the marshalling of the opposing liostc. the tactics , tnq strategy nnd final hand to hand conflict , are now serutini/Jng the eonduct of iheir genonils and soldiers in order to discover , if ppisiblo , the cause of a disaster us unexpected as it was dire ful , Thu controversy , as is well known , was between confederated monopolies on the ono side , nnd hem < &f , legitimate capi tal and industry on tlio other. The claim in dispute is also well known. Iho former , the abnormal mitgrowth of a ptiblio creature , has grown to such vast dimensions as to dorryaccount."biity ! to its creator and to assert dominion not only over legitimate 'capital ' , honest in dustry -ind the individual citizen , but to assert dominion over'tho courts of jus tice and the halls of legislation , A largo number of citi/.ons question the legitimacy ot such a power and deny submission to its chums , Tlio history of the late election in Nebraska is evidence of tliis questioning and of this denial. The loud shout of 51,000 electors rolled like the thunders of nn electric storm over the mud , Many constituencies demanded - manded and received from candidates for thcjr trust pledges to perform some duties in one wav and other duties wore left to their discretion. All but four of those who gave pledges violated them for reasons which they now struggle to make appear good to themselves. Their constituents nevertheless gave them in o-no particular no discretionary power. Now. then , the following questions arise ; 1. What is the obligation for a repre sentative to observe his pledge given to. his constituents aud upon the strength of which ho was elected to fulfil that publio trust ! 2. Is it sufficient reason to violate pledges that the object for which pledges are given will bo defeated by n malorlty , no inattor how those pledged will cast their votes ? 3. Docs parly fealty exempt a represen tative from pledges given to his constitu ents of Iho same , or of a different polit ical party , upon the strength of which Pledges ho was oleoled to perform n duty the electors well knew the dominant power of lha party would oppose ? 4. In case the answer Is nfllrmatiro what then is the moaning of representa tive ? In case the answer is negative , what course ought the constituents to pursue towards n delinquent representa tive ? G. When a delegate exceeds or violates the instructions of his sovereign , is the sovereign bound by such action of his delegate ? If , us wo claim , the people arc sovereign , are they bound by the action of their dcleg-ites exceeding or violating clear and positive instructions ? In case the answer is negative , what is the status of the late senatorial election ? In case the answer is affirmative , what is the sovereignty of tlio people ? The answer to tlieso questions will en able us to know what wo have gained , beyond any of the down-trodden people of other lands , by our much bragged of form of government. C. J. RYAN. FlKljL ) AND FAKSI. How Mlllc IH iMnde. American Dairyman : The secret of how a cow secretes her milic is an inter esting matter of speculation. It is gen erally supposed that site makes it during the day , and has Hull ready to bo de livered at night when the milker calls for it , that is , she has the mili ; already made and stowed away in her udder. The surprise often occurs when a cow with a small udder gives a largo quantity , while the ono with u much larger bag gives much less milk. This is usually accounted for by alleging that ono has a lleshy bug , while the other lias an udder extending up into the body. Now wo have it said that the cow really secretes her milk at the time she is being milked. at least to a certain extent. Professor Ballalino says many animals have no milt ; reservoir , the lactiferous duets being - ing connected directly with the milk ves icles , so that no considerable amount of milk can bo carried ready formed. Suoh , lie says , is the case with the human female , and the largur portion of the milk must bo secreted while thu child is at the breast. This is why a cow , from fright or worry , or loss of her calf , or change of milkers , ' 'holds up" her milk , simply because she has not yet secreted it , and while that restless , uneasy con dition lasts it is actually impossible for her to give down her usual How , The FnrnuTH' Workshop , Every farmer should have a small building ; for keeping tools and the smaller implements used on the farm. Hero , with a comfortable lire in winter , much pleasant and profitable work may bo done making conveniences for barn or house , mending ami oiling harness , and doing many things that would cither bo undone or cost a considerable sum were a tradesman employed to do thorn. Ex cept near cities it is cheaper to buy Iho materials for bushel boxes or crates for fruit or potatoes and put them together. This will make a good job for many win- to , days , and muv bo just the thing to in- il.ice some boys who have a mechanical turn of mind to remain on the farm. Seasonable Hints nnd Give plenty of green food now while Iho ground is Iro/.en. Cabbages , onions and steamed chopped hay are very good for stimulating the fowls , nnd it will greatly increase tlio laying of eggs. Sawdust when used as bedding and then added to the manure heap , will decompose - compose if the heap heats sufficiently to becoiuo "rotted , " and it will not only servo as an absorbent but add a certain amount of fertilizer to the soil also. Mr. Pratt , of Brattloboro , Vt. , thinks there is danger of feeding too much cottonseed ton-seed to milch cows. Ho feeds one quart to each co\v , but mixes it with four times its bulk of ground grain , and al lows also a bushel of ensilage twice a day. There is no bettor food lor hogs and poultry at this season than finely-cut clover , moistened with boiling water , over which a small proportion of mid dlings have been sprinkled. The pigs will grow well on it , and the hens will lay more eggs on such a diet. We curry the liorso and kcop hi" skin clean , yet the cow is overlook Consid ering the importance of the strictest cleanliness in the dairy , it is n duty that should receive attention. Loose liairs , dirt in the milk , filthy skin and staolo odors will thus be partially prevented. For distemper in horses an experienced horseman has found a treatment of quin ine most efficacious. Fora light attack ho gives about fifteen or twenty grains daily ; where there is mueli fever ho gives the dose tvvico a day. Got the quinine from a reliable druggist who will sell only the best. One advantage in frozen ground is that tlio wood may bo hauled , and at this season a year's * supply can be laid up. After the spring sets in it will often bo impossible to do such work , us the heavy loads will not only cut up the road but also the fields where it becomes neces sary to cross thorn. The hedges can now bo trimmed while other work is not urgent. By tak ing advantage of favorable periods dur ing the winter season for arranging the shapes of the hedges , and cutting out tlio extra wood from trees and vines , much of the hurried work usual to spring may bo avoided. The cow should always bo milked until the udder in completely emptied. It should bo stripped thoroughly. If this bo well done slio will keep in How of milk longer , but if neglected she will gradually dry oil' . Many good cows are prematurely dried oil' from hurry in milking and not doing the work thoroughly. The Mirror pays that although n sin gle lion may lay ' 00 eggs in a year occa sionally , yet in a Hock ail tlio sick , over fed , immature and aged hens arc in cluded , the result being often less than 100 eggs per year from each hon , and the larger the Hock the greater thn risks , hence those who venture on keeping largo numbers of hens should not expect too much. It is Haul that the horse's stomach has a capacity of only sixteen quarts , while that of tl > 9 ox has a capacity of li'iO quarts , but in the intestines this is re versed somewhat , the liorso having a ca pacity for 1'JO quarts and the ox 100 , The liorso , therefore , feeds often and cats slowly , while the ox stores up a largo supply of load to bo masticated at leis ure. ure.In experiments made by the French government a minimum quantity of salt allowed daily to cows produced the greatest How of milk. Oxen fed the same amount presented slock coata , while others receiving no salt were mangy , rough and ill-conditioned. The amount allowed was For fattening stall oxen , two and one-half ounces each per day ; fattening pigs , ono to two ouncosaccord- ing to si/o , sheep , one-half ounce , and horses and mules , one ounce. .

Paris Dispatch in London Telegraph A painful incident which recalls Edgar Pope'a thrillihg sketch entitled "Prema ture Burial. " is reported from Saumur. A j-ounc man who was nflllcted witlin contagious disease suddenly died , ' at least to all appearances , und his burial was ordered to take place as soon as pos sible. The croquomorts , or undertaker's men , who carried the collin to the grave thought that they heard a noise like knocking under its lid , yet , being afraid of creating a panic among the funeral , they went on with their burden. The colhn was duly placed in the grave , but ns the earth was being thrown down upon it unmistakable sounds of knocking wore heard by everybody. The major , however , had to bo sent for before the collin could bo opened , and some delay occurred in the arrival of that official. When the lid was removed the horrible discovery was made that the unfortunate had only just died from nsplivxin. Tlio terrible French law requiring speedy interment ought to be modified without delay. MOST PEKF&67 Vrppored with strict rofrstd to Parity , StronKtli , nn& Ho uthfulncvB.
