Ground Limestone as Il Fertil
iZCr.

A couple OF weeks since, our friend
Mr.. Harrison Beeler, showed us a bot
tie coptaininga sample Of limestone
ground as fine as coarse flour. The
grinding had been done at Rowland's
(the old Hager) mill, east of town on
the Antietam, A regular business of
grinding las been carried on there,
and the experiment Of testing this ap-
pliance as a new fertilizer is now be-
ing made with great thoroughn ess.
Mr.. Beeler has been studying up the
subject, and is satisfied the applica-
ton Of ground limestone (unburnt)
will be most beneficial to our soil.
His idea is that it will be quite as pro-
ductive fertilizer as most of those
now in use and at comparatively little
cost. On Tuesday We again met him,
and be informed US that some forty
different farmers hal gotten the
ground limestone from the mill and
mixed it with their wheat in drilling
this fall. They had sown it alongside
Of other fertilizers and already the

needing an occasional "let up from
the routine of work to which they are
accustomed, that class is the one to
which the farmer belongs. If there Is
auy class of laborers which INDUCES
less in recreation than the farming
class, we have yet to find it.
The farmer seels to have imbibed the
idea from his childhood, and it has
grown with his growth and strength
ened with his strength" that be ought
to work early and and late; that to
indulge in any recreation is weakness,
and that in some way, which be can
not explain to himself it he tries to,
his business makes him different from
other men. The clerk may rest, the
merchant may leave his store, the
lawyer and the doctor may get away
from their work; but the farmer is
like a machine that goes by being
wound up. AS long as the spring
furnishes motive power it goes on
when the spring gives out the ma
chine stops, and then he rests, not be-
cause he wants to, but because be
must.
Now there is no particular differ.
once between tue farmer and the min,
lister, or the merchant. 1t is in the oc'
equations, not the men. The mer'
chant and the minister do not labo,
90 much with muscle and frame, but
their field Of operation calls for brain
work. The farmer tolls in his chosen
way, and brings a steady drain tc
bear upon his muscular system. The
merchant and the minister get weary
and feel the need of rest; they take it
and SO back to work again refreshed
And 80, with occasional intervals Of
rest scattered through their lives
they continue their labors, and are
seldom worn out when they should be
IN their prime. The farmer labors
till he feels the need of rest, but be
will not allow himself to listen to the
warning. He makes a drudge, a
slave Of himself, and the only great
difference between him and the slave,
so far as labor is concerned, is that be
is his own master, and not often the
negroes Of the South find a more ty'
rannical, exacting master than many
OF our farmers have in themselves.

should get rid Of the idea that what
the minister and the merchant needs
when overworked be does not. If
rest does them good, it will do him
good. Why should he deny himself
the pleasant things Of life ? Why
should be make a slave Of himself "
Why should lie make bis life and The
lives Of the boys a sort of treadmlil
existence ?
Few have the means at hand of
life more pleasan. than the
farmer. Let him once get the idea
out Of his head that he is a machine
that be is different from the neighbor
who does not till the land, let him
realize the dignity Of his profession
and he will begin to treat himself
more respect and care. He will not
wake mp some morning, IN what

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 23.-Yesterday the
Pullman Palace Car company made ap-
plicatiOn to Judge McCreary of the
United States circuit court, sitting at
chambers in Keokuk, Iowa, for an in
junction to prevent the Iron Mountain
railroad from substituting the Wagner
sleeping cars for the Pullman cars, ar
rangements for which had been made to
go into effect January LIST. Judge
McCreary issued a restraining order
which reached the United States court
here this afternoon, and notice was at
once served on the officers of the Iron
Mountain company. The case will be
argued here, but so far as known the
day of hearing has not been set.
1t appears that the contract between
the Pullman and Iron Mountain COM
panies expired on November Goth, but
the Wagner cars to be used on the road
after that date not being ready at that
time, it was verbally agreed that the
Pullman cars should continue to run
until the Wagner cars were completed.
An arrangement to this effect, it is alleg-
ed, was made between Mr.. Pullman and
Col. A. w. Soper, GENT Manager of the
Wagner company, but now it appears
Mr.. Pullman has taken different view
of the case, and has invoked the aid of
Tue OnlIeu OIdIeS COuTI 10 compel t0e
railroad company TO continue the use of

company was to put Wagner cars not

upon the Texas Pacific and Information
al and Great Northern, and with this
view it was intended, commencing to-
night, to distribute ten cars, which have
been here for some days past, 10 the
proper points on the roads mentioned.
This, it is understood. will not now be
done, and no action taken in this d.
rectiOn except under direct instructions
from Jay Gould, who is in active cor
respondence with Vice President Hays
and General Manager Hoxie on the sub
ject. 1t is alleged that Mr.. Gould will
fight this case to the bitter end, and that
the Pullmans will press it with all the
vigOr possible. It is also the design of
Mr.. Gould to use the Wagner cars on
the Missouri Pacific system as soon as
the contracts expire. 1t will therefore
be seen that great interests are involved
in the suit.

er Cheney said to-day: 1.-The idea is

sence the interests of the expedi-

President of the Hannibal & St. Joseph

reported threat to sell the road, that the
Hannibal g st. Joseph railroad will not

the road will not be sold for that inter
est. The company paid into the state
treasury June last the full amount of

were issued The State received the
money and assumed the payment of the
interest and principal of the bonds. The
State paid its own bonds at the bank of
Commerce last July, and will continue

The company has plenty of money to
pay these coupons, but il has paid its

4 Paving Road.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23-The annual re-
port of the Lake Shore railroad shows
the gross earnings to be 81, 970, 600;
net earnings, $66S, 400; surplus after
paying dividend, interest, ETC., only &c.
$50, against 81 ,623, 662 in 1890. Had the
freight rates of last year been obtained
tor this year, there would have been a
gain of half million dollars in gross
earnings, instead of loss of over three
quarters of million dollars, as is now
shown, and the net result would have
been an increase.
BY the showing of these two amounts,
says the Post, the above report had the
effect of starting a fresh decline for the
reason that it shows to the public what
a havoc the railroad war has made with

1t is no less Il matter of surprise than
pleasure to learn that the advocates of
temperance reform have achieved de-
cided victory in the Bourbon stronghold
of Arkansas. The supreme court of the
state has just decided the law regulating
the sale of liquor constitutional, and as
the effect of this ruling will be to re-
strict the traffic in intoxicating drinks
in many of the principal towns of the
state, it is regarded in the light of a
great triumph for the prohibItionists.
The whiskyites, outraged by this in
fringement upon their so-called sacred
rights, will employ every agency within
their grasp to have the law which inter
feres with their traffic repealed by the
legislature which convenes next winter,
or so amended as to make it practically
imperative. The temperance element,
on the other hand, are equally deter
mined not only to hold their pres
ent vantage ground but are Ia
boring to stimulate public
sentiment against the evils of rum,
and the bill providing for an amend
ment to the constitution prohibiting the
sale and manufacture of liquor in Ar.
kansas, which passed the lower house of
the General Assembly last February by
vote OF 81 yeas to II nays, but failed
in the senate, will be a prominent issue
at the next session. The present outlook
indicates that the struggle for future su-
premacy between the liquor and anti
liquor clements In the state will beck
ceedingly bitter and it is difficultto pre-
dict what the outcome will be.
1t may be, as is claimed by the whis-
kyites, that all this agitation of the tenn
perance question is only passing show
er, but with the issue looming up in
such states as Indiana, Texas and Ar
kansas, it would seem to the reflective
observer that the time had come for the
whiskyites to at least don their rubber
coats if no; to take some judicious steps
toward the construction of an ark.
