lius increased the past year from 250,409
in 1880 to 270,083 In 1887. The amount
apportioned at this time is not so great

BKEKINQ DIVORCE.
Anna D. Criss has tiled her petition in
district court asking legal separation
from her husband , Joseph Criaa , on the
grounds of abuse and cruelty. Tlin
couple wore married iu November last
by the county judge , and the first duto
ascribed to bad treatment is in April of
the present year , when her lord , as is as
sorted , in the presence of numerous wit
nesses used the most violent , obscene and
abusive language , IDO scandalous for
publication. Again in Juno , the present
month , on the 8th day thereof , ho again
continued his abuse and threatened her
life with a knife , which he nourished
around her head promiscuously. Again
when she was sick ho refused to provide
a physician for fear of accumulating a
doctor bill , and for all those reasons she
asks legal divorcement.

The ItevUcd Version.
Dakota Bell : There was a llttlo oc
currence in Washington last spring ,
which so far has kepi out of the papers.
It happened like this :
There was a certain senator who sittoth
in the high places , led up of the spirit
into the wilderness to be tempted of the
devil : And the devil takoth him up into
an exceeding high mountain and showcth
him great wealtb and the fullness thereof
below. *
And ho pointed to many sacks filled
with pieces of silver and much stock ,
yea , railroad stock , and the steamship
stock , and Pan-Electric telephone stock ,
and likewise fat jobs for his family und
friends and all the glory of them all.
And said unto him : "All these thing ?
will I give theo if thou wilt vote aright
on my little measure. "
And the senator answered nnd said
unto him. "For heaven's sake do not
got behind mo , satan. And just watch
my vote to-morrow and see if it isn't all
right' ' "

OrorstooklBg the Market.
1 Philndolphl Recordt The hvo stock In
terests of this country nro In an unex
ampled condition. Fabulous sums nro
paid for preferred animals , horses selling
for $ 10,000 , cows for 120,000 , nnd even
trios of poultry have sold as high ns $200 ,
whllo rams of certain strains of merinos
fire scarce , with prices as high as $ 1,000
each , Yet , with the daily papers recordIng -
Ing the ealcs , nnd the prices at such a
scale as only to [ permit of the wealthy
owning the desired stock , there are scores
of people who fear that tlio market may
bo overstocked. The markets have been ,
overstocked long ago with inferior
stock ; hut merit is always salable , and
thcro is a demand for all the productions
of this country , nnd at high prices , if
they bo of a superior quality. There is
always a remedy for overproduction ,
especially with stock , and that Is to
breed something'hotter. Those who suc
ceed are over endeavoring to produce
somethinc bettor than others possess.
Capital docs not control the superior
stock. It is waiting , however , to
reward tlio skill and patience of the
producer. The fastest trotters , the
llcctest runners , the deepest milkers nnd
'ho heaviest steers were raised by exert -
> ert breeders and sold to their present
wealthy owners. And the market does
not have one superior animal offered for
a hundred ready customers. Nor is the
crowcr of fruit or vegetables an exccp-
'ion. When the blackberry was lirst
iiiltivnted an overstocked market was
ircdlctud , as such fruit grew in all the
iclds and by places , bnt the superior
Duality of the cultivated berries jiluceil
them at prices novcr before attained ,
ilthough car loads were arriving in the
inirkct daily ; and the past setibou has
lomohstratcd that the prediction of an
overstocked market of broilers , due to
use of a largo number of incubators , WMS
unfulfilled , as nriccs were nearly 00 par
cent higher , owing to the bettor qualitv
Ihan they were last season. The Intro-
luctioii of new and better vntiotiesof
) cuches calls for a rapid sale at good
, I Drices , oven whan the market seems
' loaded with the supply ; and the same may
bo said ( if garden crops. The solution of
Aho prevention of an overstocked market
s not by restricting production but by
producing something better. This has
been proved by practical experience , and
"he difficulty at the present day is not
low to dispose of inferior goo'iU , but
low to meet tlm demand and supply the
market with the best , for which pur
chasers tire willing to pay the highest
iinces.
Farms Growing Smaller.
Cleveland Leader : The cry has pone
.ip from sensational labor agitators that
; ho farm lands of this counlry are bocom-
, ng the properly of a few rich men , and
Mr. Powdcrly has so far yielded to the
icnsenso to proclaim a Knight of Labor
bull against an "incipient land-holdinjr
nristoeraey. " The absolute absurdity of
such assertions is evidenced by the fol-
owing statistics :

Thus it will bo seen that in all the
newer states , where settlers began by
pre-empting eighty acres , and later on
added another eighty , the acreage of
farms has steadily decreased. In the
country ns a whole the decrease is very
marked , trom thceo statistics there can
bo no doubt of the gratifying fact that
the land is being divided up into smaller
parcels , nnd that the agricultural class is
not likely to become a class of renters ,
but will continue to own as well as farm
the land. . It is a matter for congratula
tion that it is so , and that the growth and
prospority.of the country has not mili
tated , against this fundamental principle
of our hind doctrine.
In tliis , ns in most of their talks , these
agitators have taken n few individual in
stances instead of the grand average. If
they know more about the subjects they
discuss they would talk less. It is no
ticeable Unit it is not renters or little
farm owners who worry about the land.
They are not troubled in the least. It is
the idle , thriftless classes of city laborers
who could not be induced to live on nnd
work a farm ; it is from them that the cry
of land monopoly mainly arises. As
long as carefully prepared statistics show
the gratifying result exhibited above the
sensible people of the United Stales will
not bo greatly alarmed. If such dema
gogues would confine themselves strictly
to facts their profession would bo gone
Scaoonnbla Hints and SuRgostlottH.
If a rut get into a chicken coop It will
kill every chick if it can have time to
carry them oil * before being discovered.
To fatten poultry quickly con line the
birds for ton days and feed them on a
mixture of corn meal und potatoes four
times a day , wltti all the wheat and corn
they can eat at night.
No invariable rule can be lafd down for
the raising of calves on skim milk-ant
each feeder must make a rule for oaoh
calf.
calf.Small
Small chickens should never bo kept or
fed with old ones ; they are apt to bo in
jured. Have two or three yards , and
separate them according to size and
strength.
Dampness is Jad for young chicks. Ar
range their drink vessels so that they
cannot get into them , nnd do not allow
them to run in the wet grass or to be out
in a storm.
As sunflower seed is very liable to heat ,
the shfost wav of keeping it for fowls is
to cut on" the liowcr hond when the seed
is-ripo , nnd pile it loosely till thrown to
the fowls.
Steady application is what counts in
any business , especially in farming , for
in this employment a day or an hour
wasted is usually more than loss of time
for it is opportunity gone.
On the average farm a calf that will In
three years with the same feed and care
make us heavy and aa valuable a steer or
heifer as another calf will do in four
years , is worth at least $10 more when
dropped.
It is never good policy to divide a farm
in small fields , for it is waste of lands
waste of timo. and oppressing increase
of fencing that becomes a burdensome
tax in construction and maintenance.
Do not lot the strawberries mat too
Illicitly la the rows. It is bettor to have
the space between the rows cultivated
and manure worked in , so ns to boncfi
the crop for next season. Cut away the
runners if they become too numerous.
To those who may not be familiar with
collie dogs it may be stated that they
will not drlvo sheen or cattle unless first
trained to do so , though the supposition
on the part of some is that such dogs
perform the work by natural instinct.
They are more easily taught to drlvo
stock than any other brood of dogs , bu
tney will not do so unless taught.
A clover pasture is of most value for

crowing hess , though very cheap feeder
or a part ot the ration after the fatten-
ug process is begun. During the spring ,
when most rapid growth is taking place ,
an acre of green clover would furnish
; rccn food for a dozen or more hogs be-
ng fed corn to fattyn.
Every farmer has noticed thoaotorlora-
.ion of oats. The best varieties fall bacK
if tor a few years and are little better
.han the common oat. More attention
night bo profitably given to the seed.
i'wo suggestion shave been made : Thrash
the bundles lightly with a Hail and thus
get the best sued ; thu other , winnow out
all the light oats.
The oat is a splendid food for young
animals , because , compared with corn ,
straw , etc , it is rich in muscle and bone
forming elements ; and this also makes it
a splendid food for work animals. Corn
should be fed sparingly to work animals ,
during the .summer especially , us it is a.
lieating food. It will pay to make the
grain ration of oats iu thu morning und
at noon.
Hungarian grass and millet are two
grosft crops that are grown In summer ,
[ he seed being sometimes sown as late as
July , but June is better should a rain oc
cur. The HungarianllKrttss affords sev
eral cuttings during thu same season , and
is excellent for horses ; when cured. Mil
let grows very tall , makes a heavy crop ,
but is mowed only onct ) . ' Both crops need
rice soil , but can be gipwn on sandy soil
if it be properly manufcd.
The influence of tlio mure iu transmit
ting hereditary qualities is , as a rule ,
greatly underestimated. * The female pod-
fereo of a horse is almost entirely lost
sight of , while tlm male is given special
prominence. The bo/it / breeders agree

Many farmers neglect to clear their
mowing iiclds of stones , sticks and other
obstructions to the mowinK machlno un
til thu grass gets so hid ! that it is dlllicult
if not impossible to see them , and so the
knives of the mower are injured if not
broken ; this is very poor policv , for on
most mowing fields , if the work bo done
before the grass starts much , the labor of
removing all obstructions to the harvest
ing machines is comparatively liaht.
A writer in tlm Henderson Journal ,
who has cultivated broom corn for eleven
years , says that the same amount of labor
that will produce three acres of tobacco
will product ) twenty acres of broom corn.
Estimating both crops at 5 cents per
pound , the good , lugs and trash are worth
$150 , while twenty acres of broom-corn
at $25 per acre are worth $500. Besides ,
on every 600 pounds ot broom-corn you
will get 1,000 pounds of seed , which nra
worth more than the same number of
pounds of oats.
It is much better to watch for the white
butterlly.tho parent of the cabbage worm ,
and kill it than to have the annoyance of
the worm. It Is not so difficult to keep
the cabbages free of worms by killing
the buttcrilies as may bo supposed ,
though it requires constant watchfulness
for n while.
Lice will breed on all classes of
animals and fowls at this season unless
the quarters bo kept clean. Dry dirt is
ono of the best prevcntativcs of lice , es
pecially if used on the floors , but the
stock should bo examined occasionally.
If in good condition , however , lice do not
attack animals readily.
Keep up the use of paris green on the
potato vines. Every year the number of
bugs is being lesseneil , and witli the aid
of paris green and the parasites that prey
on the beetles , the time may come when
they will bo exterminated. The rule
should bo not to allow one to escape.
When grape vines fail to bear , and do
not thrive well under good cultivaion.
cut the old vine off close to the ground
and allow a uow cane to crow. Train it
on the trellis , do not allow too many
shoots , and the result will be a great im
provement over thu old cane.
Never feed all the cows by a certain
measure , giving each cow the same
amount as is given another , as cows
differ in their wants and preferences.
The cow that is m full llow of milk
should be given nil she may wish to eat ,
as she will thereby bo bettor enabled to
give a largo quantity of milk.
Young ducks should bo marketed when
they weigh about thr eipoiinds ; each , and
may bo sold cither alivu or dressed , the
best prices being obtained for the dressed
carcasses. The best lime lor selling
young ducks is in Jnile1 * and July ; they
should be plump nnd fnt.

Vienna's
There is a peculiarity which Vienna
shares in common with all Austrian
towns. At 10 o'clock ( | ip streets are do
sorted. Scarcely will you meet ono soli
tary soul. A law authorizes the portiere
or concierge to low a tftfof ten kreulzcrs ,
called the sporgold , on'Kny ' person leav
ing or entering the house after that hour.
Thus the snergeld obliges you , when you
are inviteu to a party , to pay ton kreut-
zorson leaving your own apartment , ten
more for yourself and your servant on
entering your host's 'house , the same
when your leave it , and the same on reentering -
entering your own. This sporgold gives
rise to some curious fashions. Thus the
theatre and opera begin early , and the
performance is timed to end at 0:45. : If
it lasts longer nearly the whole audience
rises and hastens away to be homo in
time to -o the spergold. Cafes are
cmptcd t .hat hour , and the trains arc
crowded as the last moment of grace ar
rives. and even tbo rubbers of whist at
the clubs are interrupted. It grows into
such a force of hnbit ; and is such an ac
cepted factthatexcept under exceptional
circumstances , you do not think of incur
ring the debt.

Perhaps tome faint Idea of her condition can be
cleaned from the fact that thrco pounds of Cosmo-
