What Congress Did for Mrs. LIN
cOlns

Washington Star, Sept. ~.
It is a matter of discussion at
this time what Congress will do
for Mrs. Garfield. In this con-
nection the acts passed in rela-
ton TO Mrs. Mary Lincoln are
of interest. There were three
acts of the kind passed by Con-
gress. The first act, passed
when Congress came together
after the assassination, was as
follows: THAT the Secretary.
of the Treasury pay, out of any
money in the Treasury not 9TH
erwise appropriated, TO Mrs.
Mary Lincoln, widow of Abra7
ham Lincoln, late President Of
the United States, or in the
event of her death before pay
ment, to the lawful heirs, the
sum of s25, ooo5 provided al
ways that any sum of money
which shall have been paid to
the personal representatives of
the said Abraham Lincoln since
his death, on account of his sal
airy as President of the United
States for the current year,
shall be deducted from the said
sum of s25, 600" The amount
thus granted to Mrs. Lincoln
was the salary of the President
for one year Now that salary
IS $4,000. In February, 1866,
Congress passed the following
act: THAT all letters and pack
ages carried by post to and
from Mary Lincoln, widow of
Abraham Lincoln, be carried
free of postage during her nat
ural life" In 1870 the follow
ing act was passed: THAT the
Secretary of the Interior be and
is hereby authorized to place
the name Of Mary Lincoln,
widow of Abraham Lincoln, de-
ceased, late President of the
United States, on the pension
roll and allow and pay her a
pension of $1,000 per annum
from and after the passage Of
this act" =

Stock Feed for Fan and Winter.


In view of the certainty Of
the scarcity of corn and of high
prices for all sorts of food for
live stock during the coming
fall and winter, farmers can not
be too careful of the supply on
hand. Straw and corn fodder
are sure to be much more
largely used as supplementary
feed than heretofore. During
the terrible drouth on the
Pacific coast a couple of years
ago, when thousands of stock
starved to death, loud regrets
were heard on all sides at the
foolish waste and destruction of
straw at thrashing time; for had
it been stacked SO as to keep
well, it would have been god
send to the cattle and their
owners in those days and
months of famine. Rather than
over-economize by reducing
the feed Of stock too much,
however, would il not be better
to weed out ones herds and
fiocks and dispose Of all inferior
animals early-before they have
diminished the feed supply Of
those it win pay to keep Wits
animals intended for market it
is more economicalt to give them
full feed so as to have them
ready for sale as soon as posi-
bic, rather than to reduce their
rations and be forced to keep
them longer. Now is a good
time to lay plans for economic
ing feed during the coming
winter, which nearly all the
weather prophets predict will
be a long and very severe one;
and in this connection it mast
be borne in mind that shelter
for stock from its severity IS
equivalent to a large saving in
their food.-Rurals New York

Keep out Of Debt.
Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage.


Under society's behest the
young man must dress as weil
as.his fellows, give suppersl as
others do, smoke as good cigars
as his companions. To do this
he must borrow, perhaps forge.
By this awful process hundreds
of thousands of men have been
slaughtered for time and eterni-
ty. People don't understand
the ethics of debt. If go into
debt knowing l can not pay for
what l buy, l steal. A sneak
Ithiei is not SO bad as a man
who contracts debts intending
not to pay them. Some people
move every May-day to escape
their creditors. If there are
any such here they ought to be
in the penitentiary instead of a
church. What did debt do for
Lord Bacon, towering above
the intellects of his age1 1t
made him take brides. What
did debt do for Sir Walter
Scotts 1t iorced him to write
till paralysis stayed his hand.
What did debt do for Robert
Burns7 1t sent him to the
maddenipg cup. What did
debt do for Lord Byron and his
mother7 That mother died IN
a fit of rage. on reading the upT
holsterer's bill at Newstead.
William Pitt, although paid
100000 annually by the govern
ment OF Great Britain, was
crushed under debt, and parlia-
ment had to vote s2oo.o 900 to
pay off his debts after his death

MAxiMs FOR FARMERs.-
Thinking about a piece of corn
adds FIVE bushels to the acre,
sometimes ten.
ia particular production is
all the rage sell out while prices
are high and buyers are plenty.
3 Fall and winter evenings are
the most profitable times for
mental culture, social happiness
and rest.

otherwise would gro hfeg
1t is important to get at the
bottom Of things, and equally
SO, whether done by tough
thinking or a subsoil pillow.
Some kinds of wood season
better put of doors than under
cover, but it is not so with the
beams and handles ola pillow.
Vegetables decay prepares
for subsequent life. An excep-
ton to the rule is rotton po-
tatoes and turnips in a cellar in
May.
1t is better for a farmer to
eat salt on his potatoes instead
of butter, if the latter is needed
to pay a debt at a village store.

Oats as a Crop Of Profit.

Our farmers are accustomed
to regard the raising OF oat
as a mere matter of convenience
the crop beng considered as a
supplement TO the forage supply
in the early summer months.
Mr.. Swanson's crop raised
upon four and half acres on
his lot here in town, is evidence
Of what may be done. He rails
ed this season and threshed $50
bushels. These at So cents
per pushed are worth sI44, the
straw, say So, making $50. He
hasnow growing on the same
land a fine crop of peas for
which lie could probably get in
the field $50. When gathered
perhaps, pea vines and hay will
be worth $50, being an aggre-
gate Of 500 gross.
The peas sowed broadcast
required no more cultivation
than did the oats.
Cotton seed was used as a
fertilizer and the ground is
matted with nut grass.
The crop was made simply
in the ordinary course of busi-
ness, no fancy farming about
it.
In addition to the intrinsic
value Of an oat crop, it is avail
able to the farmer at precisely
that period of the year when he,
has the greatest need of a little
ready money.-Tuskega Mail.
Texas farmers had better be
trying to make their own meat
now. A late report says:
The accounts from the west
ern hog crop are perhaps more
discouraging to the southern
man who expects to buy his
meat at a western smoke-house
than those of the corn crop.
The reports published by
papers represent the
number short IS per cent, and
these small in size and poor in
condition. Last winter was
severe on young hogs, and the
crop OF pigs now growing is
small.
