1T is impossible for Bismarck to lose her
commanding position as a shipping point.
In the first place it is no object to the steam
boat companies to shorten the river distance,
for it is in the long hauls that we make our
money. Another point. Although it may
be nearer to Buford via Glendive, you see
we get q shorter haul, pay the railroad more
money and have a poorer river and more un-
certain stage of water. From Bismarck to
Buford is the best part of the river, and we
always want, if possible, to carry so tons
more of freight to Buford than TO points be-
yond. And them said the steamboat man,
s'suppose Bismarck does lose every pound of
the Yellowstone freight. The increase of
the Benton trade from year to year is exceed
ing all expectations, and will in a few months
increase to an extent that will exceed the to-
tai Yellowstone trade" With these brief
assurances from competent judges, the Irs-
6une lets the subject rest, fully satisfied that
there is no occasion for eyer losing faith in
Bismarck either as q river or railroad point.

THE STORY OF THE GATE.

Across the pathway myrtlefringed,,
Under the maple, it was hinged
The little wooden gate;
II was there, within the quiet gloam,
When I had strolled with Nellie home.
/ used to pause TO wait,
Before l said to her good night,
Yet loath to leave the winsome sprite
Within the garden pale:
And there the gate between us two.
Wed linger as al lovers do,
And lean upon the rail.
And face to face, and eyes close to eyes,
Hands meeting hands in feigned surprise
After q stealthy quest =
So close I'd bend, ere she'd retreat,
That I'd grow drunken from the sweet
Tuberose on her breast.
We'd akin ftful style I ween-
With many q meaning glance between
The tender words and low;
Wed whisper some dear, sweet conceit4
Some idle gossip we'd repeat;
And then I'd move to go,
'Good-night,nI I'd say; "good night-good bye"
I aoOd-ntght"-frOm her, with nan g. sigh
stGood-night! good-nightW and then
And then | do not go, but stand,
Again lean on the railing and
And begin it all again!
All! that was many a day ago
That pleasant summer time-although
The gate is standing yet;
And o little cranky, it may be,
A little weather Worl-like me
Who never can forget.
The happy-s.End?" MY cynic friend,
Pray save your sneers there was no tend"
Watch yonder chubby thing!
That is our youngest, hers and mine;
See how he climbs, his legs to twine
About the gate and swing.

AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
When to Feed Grain to Horses.

Horses are provided with an un-
usually large Development of the
salivary glands, and an enormous
quantity of saliva'is secreted during
the eating of feed of grain or hay.
This copious supply of saliva is
sufficient to moisten and dilute the
food, so that it can be digested per-
fectly without the help Of water.
Water is absorbed by the coats of
the stomach and enters the blood
with such rapidity that a thirsty
horse will drink more water than the
stomach will contain at one time,
and the water begins to pass off
through the kidneys in such case,
after the lapse of a very few min
utes. So that, knowing these facts,
one may naturally infer that horse
may be watered few minutes be-
fore feeding with more advantage
than soon afterward, because in the
former case the water has been alb
sorbed before the food is swallowed,
and digestion cannot be interfered
with by the presence of too much
water in the stomach, as might hap
pen in the latter case. The best
practice is that usually followed,
namely to give the horse very little
water on starting out to work
after feeding in the morning;
to water on coming in at noon, and
in the evening, before embarrassing
and feeding. This gives time for
the absorption of the water before
the food enters the stomach Ru-

Root-Callars.

The leading features of good
root cellar are, proof against frost,
neatness, dryness, ventilation, and
cheapness. If hillside is conven
iently near, it helps much to secure
these desired ends. An excavation
should be first made, in size de
pending upon the required capacity
of the cellar. and in this erect a
stout frame of timbers-posts with
plank, or a log pen, and on which
place stout roof. The earth that
has been eXcavated, is thrown over
the structure, until the whole is
covered to the depth of two feet. A
door should be made in the exposed
end of the cellar, through which the
roots may be put in and taken out.
The smaller the door, and still be
convenient, the better, as it allows
Of less exposure to the frost. A
quantity of straw pressed in the
door way, will aid greatly in keeping
out the frost. Every farmer, with
many roots to be stored, should
have a root. cellar, either by itself
or in the lower part of the barn. II
is not well to store a large quantity
of roots in the cellar of the house
as the gases rising from them during
winter may cause sickness to the

Poultry.

W. C. Baker, of Cresshill, n Y,
is the largest artificial poultry raiser
in the world, and after spending
$4,000 in experiments and getting
established, now has a gross income
of 100000 a year, and will raise
100000 young chickens during 1881.
He is charging his Accommodations
to keep $500 laying hens Of the best
varieties, but still has to buy eggs.
Both hens and chickens are housed
and fed in luxurious systematic
style, the Matching being done in
two incubating chambers capable of
holding 5000 eggs each in tiers of
shallow drawers where they are
warmed by gas made on the place,
and turned daily by women in at
tendence. The young chick is
taken to the brooding house, some
hours after it is Matched, where it is
kept till three weeks old, and creeps
under hen mother of hollow zinc,
filled with hot water and lined on
the under side with blanketing.
After three weeks the lusty young
fowl is put among the laying hens
or in the cramming-house where
each one is confined in a small box
and stuffed for two or three weeks
till ready for market. Mr.. Baker
can now fatten $4,000 a year.

We believe it was Mark Twain
who paid a compliment to we'll
behaved corpes; and, as usual
thing, corpses do behave in a quiet
and docile manner although recent
occurrences in Iowa and Wisconsin
have demonstrated the fallacy Of
placing too much faith upon their
good conduct. In the Iowa case a
man got out of his coffin during the
progress of the funeral, and said
further proceeding would be dis
pensed with. When it was pro-
posed to turn the meeting into
dance he objected. He said he
wasn't going to have his funeral
married by any such unseemly con-
duct, and if anybody showed disre-
pect for the remains the remains
would punch his head. That
stopped the dance. In the Wiscon-
sin case the clergyman had just fin
ished his sermon when the corpse
sat up and demanded glass of beer.
OF course that stopped the funeral,
and now there is a lawsuit, as the
corpse refuses to pay the clergyman
any fee, although he claims that
he preached the sermon in good
| faith.

A noticeable feature was the absence
of blood during the operation. The

No Fences,

Several counties in Georgia have,
by vote, abandoned the old plan of
fencing the farms, and will hereafter
fence their stock instead, as already
practiced in the northern states.-
As it is a new thing with the Geor
gians, it will probably take some
time to adjust matters to the new
order, but in the older portions OF
the state, where wild lands are
scarce and timber exhausted, it will
prove a great advantage. Some
difficulties may grow out of trespass
by animals along the lines of count
les that have not adopted the ''no
fence system, but this should not
discourage those who have. Time
and patience will cure the evils at
tending a really good measure.

to the lessees of the penitentiary at
Nashville to clothe the convicts.

goods are rapidly coming into great
demand, especially the wooden fab
RIGS. They cannot keep up with or

About Advertising.

If you can arouse curiosity by an
advertisement it is great point
gained. The fair sex don't hold all
the curiosity in the world.
A thing worth doing is worth do
ing well. A thing worth advertis
Ing is worth advertising well. A
newspaper worth advertising in once
is worth making a contract with.
Don't expect an advertisement to
bear fruit in one night.
1t is mistaken notion that a fine
store in an eligible location, sur
rounded by attractive signs, is SUI
perior advertisement; for the expe-
rience of the most enterprising mer-
chants is that it pays better to spend
less in rent and more in advertising.
Advertising is the pole that
knocks the persimmOns.
A large advertisement once, and
then discontinue, creates the impress
sion that the man has fizzled.
Large type is not necessary in ad
verting-blind folks don't read
newspapers.
Don't be afraid to invest in print
er's ink, lest your sands of life be
nearly run out.
You can't eat enough in a week
to last you year, and you can't ad
vestise on that plan either.
People that advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks
can't remember anything longer
than about seven days.
Quitting advertising in dull times
is like tearing out a dam because
the water is low. Either plan will
prevent good times from ever com
ing.
Trying to do business without
advertising is like winking at pref
" girl through a pair of green Cog
giles. You may know what you are
doing but nobody else does.
The enterprising advertiser proves
that he understands how to buy, be
cause in advertising he knows Low
to sell.
Bread is the staff of human life,
and advertising is the staff of bust
ness.
A simple card may proftably
stand years without changing, but a
sensation advertisement should be
changed as often as you can get the
printer to do it.
We don't recommend advertising
as the best way to get a good wife,
but we can recommend 1t as the best
way to get good trade.
a heavy advertisement once is
more than quadrupled in value by a
small card published for few
months after giving your address.
Beware of long prosy advertise
ments.
Now is the time to think about
advertising, and reflection should be
followed by judicious action.
To make a man realize an idea as
you realize it is what is necessary
to make him understand his needs,
Advertisements should aim TO place
matter so clearly before the public
that they see it as clearly as the adj
vertiser does.
Enterprising people are beginning
TO learn the vslue of advertising the
year round. The persistency o.
those who are not intimidated by the
cry of "dull times, but keep Their
names ever before the public, vii
surely place them on the right side
in the end.

One of the CITIZENS best friends
near Pulaski differed with us in our
estimate of the corn crop of Giles
county and he vas giving us the
benefit of the difference in caustic
criticism last Saturday, when 1T
leaked out of his own mouth that he
had a patch of corn that made TEN
BARRELS to the acre. Please do not
us. We have never
intended to say that Giles had a
surplus-though we have heard
many say so-but we have con
tended and do still that careful
economy will keep the people from
want. What we have said in this
matter has been in the interest of
the poorer people. We do not sup
pose any man in Giles county wishes
to speculate upon the wants and
miseries of his neighbors. There
was a good opening for a panic in
this county that would have closed
up the corn cribs and precipitated
a real famine, but good feeling has
been encouraged and this calamity
to the poor people avoided. We
have been very careful to base all
our remarks upon reliable informa-
ton and we made it point to learn
facts before we gave opinions. We
may have erred, but we are con-
scious of having erred on the right
side for once. 1t would be ridicu-
lous now to assert that people were
going to starve in this county after
seeing the unprecedented crowd here
at the circus, the very large crowds
at the theatre. The people could
not afford to patronize these things
like they did, but they did it never
theless, and we take it as a public
expression of confidence in their
ability to get safely through to an
other crop. If our friend above re-
ferred to will help US, the CITIZEN
will make heavy pull to keep up a
good feeling and get safely through
the winter.

broke, Christian county, Kentucky,
has a little girl six years of age
who is dangerously i'll. The third
day of her illness a pure white pig
con flew through the window into
the room of the sick child, flew on
her bed, and has been with her five
days. 1t roosts on the head of the
bed; during the day walks over the
bed and pillows, and watches the
child as closely as any of the atten-
dants. Whenever a man goes near
the bed it makes demonstrations of
anger and fight The child has
severe suffering spells, and when
such is the case the pigeon 1ops its
wings and makes a low moaning
noise peculiar to pigeons, and seems
much troubled. The strangest part
of the story is no one living in the
neighborhood has any pigeons.
