RULING OF CONTROLLER LAWRENCE wBIcl


MAY BE EMBARRASSING.
Controller Lawrence has suspended the re-
QUESTION Of the District Commissioners. for the
funds necessary to pay all employees and other
obligations accruing this month on the ground
that new Commissioner will probably be ap-
pointed and confirmed In time to make the Gus
tomary payments before the end of December.
Perhaps Judge Lawrence is technically right,
but it is a serious disappointment to the en-
ployes and others who were calculating on their
pay before the holidays. Necessarily also, un-
less the controller makes an exception from
this ruling, the interest on the water bonds due
LIST January next cannot be paid.

Once upon time, mot very long
ago. certain man got mad at the edl,
tor and stoppe his paper. The next
eek he sold his corn at four cents be-
low the market price; then his proper
ty was sold for taxes because he didn't
read the sherff's sales; he was arrested
and fined for hunting on Sunday, sim
ply because he didn't know it was
Sunday, and he paid $500 for lot of
forged notes that had been advertised
two weeks and the public cautioned not
to negotiate them. He then paid big
Irishman, with foot like a forge ham
mer, to kick him all the way to the
newspaper office, where he paid four
years subscription in advance, and
made the editor sign an agreement to
knock him down and rob him if he
ever ordered his paper stopped again.

farmers' Column.

There is quiet about the life OF far
mer, and the hope CT a serene old age,
that no other business or profession
can promise. A professional man is
doomed sometimes to feel that his pow
ers are wanting. He is doomed to see
younger and stronger men pass him in
the race of life. He will be last where
once be was first. But the farmer
goes, as it were, into partnership with
nature. There is no constant or fright
ful strain upon his mind. He watches
the flocks and herds as they feed up
Gu the green sunny slopes. He hears
the pleasant rain falling upon the
waving corn, and the trees he planted
in his young days rustic above him as
he plants others for the children yet
to be.

\ Mr.. Dodge, of Appleton city, Mo.
says that hog cholera may be cured
with but little trouble and expense, as
follows: AS soon as hog is known to
be sick with cholera, get long neck
bottle, in which put a gill or so of milk
and half a teaspoonful Of pure csrbol-
ic acid. Let one hold the hog by the
ears and set him up between bis knees,
while another man with a bottle in one
hand and a short stick about as thick
as his wrist in the other, places the
stick in the animals mouth to prevent
breaking the bottle in pouring the
contents down. If he is not perfectly
cured in few days thereafter repeat
the dose-he never having had to re-
sort to the second dose but once out
OF the many he has cured.

1t is estimated that in making 100
pounds of pork from corn we get $l,42
worth Of manure. This, added to the
price Of pork, as it should be, makes
pig feeding profitable business at pre-
sent prices of pork products. Much
of the feed of pig while growing may
be less expensive material than corn.
If fed on clover the cost is much less
and the manure is even more valuable.
