An attorney of this city , F. W. Lewis ,
has filed u claim against the state of Ne
braska that is fairly historic In ace nnd
the facts it recalls. The chtim asks for
(1,000 and interest from 1871 , and is the
claim of E. H. 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.

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 ,

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

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

was unabln to secure any relief. I saw
Salvation Oil advertised , sent for a bottle
and ono application gave entire relief.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
