HOME AND FARM.
oversteoking.

As we ride over the country
we become more and more inn
pressed with a great evrl which
is prevalent among farmers.
We allude to overstocking.
The stock upon our farms at
this season is generally very
thin in flesh. More stock has
been kept over winter than
could be kept well. All the fat
that the animals possessed in
the fall has been used up byt he
starving process. Not only is
all the fat consumed, but all the
hay, corn, oats, etc, that have
been fed to the stock has been
consumed and no profit derived
for ALT he animals are much
lighter in weight than they were
last fall, and sold by weight
would command less in market.
How shall this great evil be
remediede There must be less
stock carried over winter, or
there must be more food raised
to winter stock. The hay sup
ply on most of our farms is too
scant. Millet should be sown
next month. If cut just after it
is in bloom, it makes an excel
lent substitute for hay for all
kinds OF domestic animals.
The thinning out Of stock in
the fall, by selling the least val
liable, shoaid be vigorously car
ried on. Sell out the inferior
stock Keep the choice ami
mails. Improve your fiocks and
herds yearly. Keep all animals
in fine condition. Keep no
more than you can keep in the
best manner.
These remarks are called out
by the fact that we see, as we
move about the country, so
many skeletons in the almost
naked fields, seeking to get
enough grass to keep them from
starving. Withan earlier spring
and warmer weather, perhaps
the picture would not be SO
bad but farmers should be pre-
pared for the late springs by
having well filed barns.

He Could Risk one.

The following incident is re-
lated of the battle of Franklin,
fought in the late war:
The sanguinary battle was at
its height, and now then a SOL
der who would not face the
music, and holding to the idea
that distance lends cnchant-
ment," on all such occasions
would exhibit his faith in the
idea by taking leg bail for the
rear. These cases were getting
too numerous toward the close
of the battle, and Col. B.--A.
A. G., of the brigade, was sent
back to the rear TO intercept
those seeking for safety and re-
turn them to their respective
posts of duty. Col. B. said he
halted one man who was max
ing tracks for some place of
safety with all the energy of
despair.
Halt! l say. and return to
your commando"
The flying son of Mars took
no notice of the command.
"Halt! | say, and go back to
your post !"
The soldier paid no attention
te-bim.
The colonel now became eX-
asperated and yelled out:
sIf you don't turn and go
back TO your command, | will
shoot you sir"
Shoot and be hang! What's
one bullet to a baskettul!"
Col. B. let him go, and after
the battle told the incident as d
good joke.

A strange disease has appear

southern Georgia, and is spread

symptoms are new, and no rem

disease. Great loss of COWS is
reported from several counties,

spread and grow more malig-

Of agriculture has begun inves-
legations, with the hope OF find
gag what the disease is and the
method of cure. Farmers are
alarmed. Only COWS and oxen
have been attacked.

In response to what has been said
about Hon. H. H. Gregg's inability to
ask for or accept the nomination for
State Treasurer, Hon W. D. Morgan, of
the Newark AdUOcrte, has this to say:
"Ohio has not within its borders an
hOneSter man than Henry II. Gregg, Of
Columbiana. He is also capable and
faithful to the Constitution" possessing
in a marked degree the three qualifca
tions which Mr.. Jefferson regarded as
Essential" in those who should be en-.
trusted with Office. In former years it
was our privilege to know Mr.. Gregg
with greater intimacy than any other
man in the community in which we liv.
ed In all those years we had occasion
frequently to seek his political counsel;
and in no instance that we followed it
was there reason to regret having done
50. AS a man of trustwOrthiness it is
enough to say that when the residence
Of the writer of this was changed from
New Lisbon, our account books, claims,
g., were left to his friendly supervision,
with this subsequent injunction to our
family. an case of my death at any
time, it is my wish that Mr.. G. shall
never be called on for a written state
ment OF my affairs in his hands; what
ever he says will be yerity" The opin
ion then entertained has never been
forfeited or modified With such a man
in the State Treasurer's Office, the public
interest would be eminently safe. But
ir is our belief that our much valued
friend would be happier without the of
fee than with it, and that if he should
consent to serve in such a position, the
S ate, and not he, would be the gamer"

OFFICIAL position in Russia just now
seems to be dangerous. The government
is a despotism, tempered by assassina-
tion. For some time past every week OF
two, some high funCtionary, especially
of the police, has been target for the
Nihiist pistol or dagger. A good many
have been taken eff in that way. On
Monday the climax was reached in st,
Petersburg, by an attempt to murder.the
Gar. While taking his early morning
walk he was shot at FIVE times but es-
capped unhurt. The would-be murderer
was arrested. This makes six attempts
on the lives of European rulers within a
yeai or 50. The Emperor'o of Germany
has been shot at twice, the Emperor of
Austria once, and the Kings of Spain
and Italy orce each. A "strong govern.
ment," after all, seems not to be so pleas
ant an arrangement as some people in
America would persuade US.
