The charges lately made through the
papers to the effect that Governor Hubs
bard, and Burnett and Fitzpatrick were
having some crooked dealings over the
penitentiary lease, takes the country
by surprise. The Neios has an expose
of the matter which comes from both
the parties to the alleged charge. The
note protested seems to be part of a cot
ton consideration of some kind, What
that is doesn't appear very clearly but
is doubtless susceptible of explanation

GENERAL ORD and other officers of tn e
army, while before the committee upon
Mexican affairs spoke in very unfavora-
bic terms of the negro soldiery. They
are incapable of receiving military
training, and cannot be disciplined as
well as the white. For service, they are
of little avail, while their habits are
licentious in the extreme. This is by
no means the first complaint urged
against this class of soldiers, and why
the government persists in keeping such
an Intellectual force as this upon the
Rio Grande, is beyond conception.

The Largest Majority Ever Given for
1oyaruOr

The official vote of Mississippi on
state officers is at last announced. Ii
shows majority for all the democratic
candidates of nearly 100000. Mr.. I.
Catchings, candidate for attorney gen.
eral, received the highest majority OF
any of the state candidates, getting
1868 votes to l0-cast for scattering,
and Mr.. w. ii. Sims, for lieutenant
governor the smallest. g4977. 1,l6s
votes were cast for A. g. Brown, indie
pendent, for governor, and 1885 cast
against the democratic nominee for Au-
ditor. The other democratic candi-
dates had really no opposition at all.
Kinds is tho banner county in the state,
and Warren second. The maiorities are
probably the largest ever given for any
candidate for governor in this country.

Boys Wanted.

Men are wanted-so they are; but
boys are wanted-honest, manly, noble,
boys. Such boys will make the desired
men. Some have declared, and truly, that
these boys should possess ten points,
which are thus given:
Honest 2.-Intelligent. s.
Active 4.-Industrious. 5.-Obedien Il.
6.-Steady. 7.-Obliging. 8.-Polite.
9.-Neat. 10.-Truthful
One thousand frst-rate places are
open for one thousand boys who come
up to the standard. Each boy can suit
his taste as to the kind of business he
would prefer. The places are ready in
every kind of occupation, Many of them
are already filled by boys who lack some
most important points, but they will
soon be vacant Some situations will
soon be vacant, because the boys will
soon be poisoned by reading bad books,
such as they would not dare to show
their fathers, and would be ashamed to
have their mothers see The impure
thoughts suggested by these books will
lead to vicious acts, the boys will be
ruined, and their places must be filled
Who will be ready for one of these
vacancies? Distinguished lawyers, use
full ministers, skillful physicians, sue.
cessful merchants, must all soon leave
their places for some one else to fill
One by one they are removed by death
Mind your ten points, boys. They will
prepare you to step into vacancies
in the front rank. Every man who is
worthy to employ a boy is looking for
you if you have the points. Do not fear
that you will be overlooked. A young
person having these qualities will shine
as plainly as star at night.

Swedes and Turnips for Cattle and Sheep.

The Ru,ul Ncw Yorker says that the
practice common in most of our dairy
districts, of killing calves when only a
few hours old, in order to save the milk
which they would require in rearing, is
in our opinion, carried to a far greater
extent than is either necessary or prof
fitable. 1t certainly seems to be need
less species of cruelty to both mother
and offspring, and while we have no dis
position to interfere with the personal
rights of dairymen, or force our opin-
ions upon their notice, we are inclin-
ed to think there are better ways of dis
posing of surplus calves than deacon
ing" The truth is we have not too
many cows, or beef cattle. and it is a
shame to destroy tens of thousands of
calves annually which bring nothing to
the owner except the few shillings re-
ceived for the skin. 1t is certainly pos
sible to raise these calves without Civ
ing fresh new milk, for with little
skinned milk and hay tea they will
thrive almost if not quite as we'll as up
on the pure tactical fluid. Fifty years
ago, Sir James Stewart Denham, of
Scotland, instituted experiments in rails
ing calves with hay tea, taking them
from their mothers when three days
old, and those experiments were emf
nently. successful. Two pounds of hay
were STEPPED in twenty quarts of water,
and then boiled down one-half, and to
do this was added one quart of skinned
milk: In some instances molasses was
added also to give sweetness, and the
calves not only thrived upon this diet,
but preferred it to fresh milk.

Test for Quality Of Milk.

A member of the American Farmer
Club thought it quite as important in
butter making to know the quality as
well as the quantity of milk yielded by
each COW, One needs to know the per-
centage of cream to determine the value
of the COW, for butter, and as the price
of butter is influenced by it's color
(some believe the color determines the
favor), the test should give both quality
and quantity of cream, This is easily
and cheaply done by filling glass tum-
bier with the milk of each cow, and set
ting these tumblers in cool place for
the milk to rise. The transparent glass
will show the thickness of the cream
and it's color. In this manner one has
the milk of the several cows under in.
spection at the same time, and can
therefore make an accurate comparison.
Both nights and mornings milk should
be thus tested. This testing often
proves that the COW giving the smallest
quanty of milk makes the most butter.
A few hours time will show the COM
parative quality of the milk given by
each COW in the herd, and enable the
farmer to select but those that give
cream of a rich golden color. and make
away with the remainder, supplying
their places with others it will pay bet
ter to keep.

Thinning Fruit.

Country Gentleuan,
We have frequently pointed out the
great advantage of thinning fruit on the
trees while yet small. Many of our
readers know that for marketing, well
grown specimens that have had plenty
of room to develop size and quality, will
sell at much higher prices than poor
and crowded fruit. In one instance
thinned peaches sold for dollar and a
half per basket; the unthinned crops at
the same time brought only fifty cents.
Two-thirds of the young peaches had
been removed in the first mentioned
case, but the remainder grew so much
larger that they gave as many bushels
as the thickly loaded trees, The same
result has been obtained with pears
In one experiment, after two-thirds of
the fruit on the trees of Louise Bonnie,
of Jersey, had been taken off, the crop
was not diminished in quantity; it would
have been better if three ourths had
been removed The objection that ad-
ditional labor is required for thinning is
not valid, as it is SO much easier to pick
off the young fruit rapidly when no care
is necessary to prevent brulsing
IMAM 10 llanu ploh ttlb sallb SFcVllHellS
after they are fully grown, and then to
assert them carefully by rejecting all
the poor ones, Well thinned crops
need little asserting In thinning APP
pies and pears, throw off the small, i'm
perfect, and wormy specimens, and
leave the largest and smoothest. In
this way the insects are early destroyed,
and the trees will not be exhausted by
bearing surplus of worthless fruit
The earlier the work is done in summer
the better for both tree and crop. 1t is
worth experimenting definitely to ascer-
tain what distances are most profitable
for the remaining fruit after thinning:
probably six or eight inches for pears,
and nearly as much for peaches; large
kinds, OF course; require more room
than small ones.

A Thrilling Event.
AnamOSa Eureka


Last Monday evening five elephants
in Forepaugh's show were performing
the grand pyramid act" represented on
their large bills. The largest one stood
on tho ground, On either side were
stationed his two companions of nearly
as huge proportions as himself and ele-
waited on the pedestal six feet high, with
their fore feet on his back and their
heads high in the air. Next to these
were the two smaller ones, with their
fore feet resting on pedestals of smaller
dimensions. Just as the manager had
announced that the audience was wit
Messing pyramid of elephants worth
$4,000, the central elephant swayed
his body slightly, causing his companion
on the right side to lose his balance In
a moment the massive form, like a
mighty forest tree, began slowly to
swing around the poor beast, realizing
his peril, gave piercing shrek, of
helplessness and terror, the high pedestal
upon which his hind feet rested was
overturned, and down he went upon his
hip and side with ponderous thud that
thrilled the audience with apprehension
and sympathy. The keepers rushed for
ward, fearful that serious and perhaps
fatal injury had resulted from this fear
full fall, but the huge beast slowly arose
and, after moments delay, the perfor-
nance went on precisely as If nothing
had happened, everybody feeling a
keen sense of relief that the accident
was followed by no bad results.
