farmers SONS They dislike ( plod.
ding work of the farm, and lony fcr the
larger life of the city, for the quicker re
turns and prospective wealth promised
in manufactures and commerce. But they
forget that there are always castles in
Spain," and that in business only the
few draw prizes. while the MANY draw
blanks. They overlook the fact tina, Il
large majority of business men fail,
while every farmer who uses his brains
as we'll as his hands earns IL comfortable
living.
A fact told by the late DIR. ~Chadbourne
president of the agricultural college ut
Amherst, Mass, is worth also of consid-
ering by the sons of farmers. He was
an enthusiast in advocating the value
of brain and knowledge to the far
mer, and insisting that farming comu ILL.,
mites were freer from vicioustendenciei.
than cities.
In one of his visits, as Il commissions.
of prisons, to the reform school at West.
boro, he asked the superintendent how
many of the boys came FIR IN farmers
families. 70 his great delight the am
swer correspondent to his own con-
victions. After q careful Investigation,
the superintendent found that not a
single hoy in the whole company had
come from Il farm, or was the son of q
farmer.
This is a good record for farmers, and
a good reason Why boys should hold to
the farm. Agricultural life is free fro !,
the temptations common to city
homes.

FARMERS COLUMN,
The Short Rows.

Go over the strawberry plants set this
spring and cut off every flower. The
fruit borne by such plants would not
terfere greatly With the vigorous growth
necessary to Il full crop next year.
1t is said that the increased American
demand for the popular polled cattle
is tempting foreign breeders of Aber-
deen-Anyus and Galloways to retain too
many OF the mae calves, q fact which
renders necessary extra care in selec-
ton on the part of importers.
An experienced butcher is quoted by
The Prairie Farmer as authority for the
statement that if the following "Secret
About Mutton" is strictly observed
even the meat of the merino" will be
"really good: Let the sheep have no
food for at least twenty-four hours be-
fore slauyhtering, and be careful to keep
the woolly 81 lie of the skin from contact
with the carcass.
1t is as great Il mistake for q farmer to
starve his steer for two years and make
beef Of him the third year, as it would
he FOR the manufacturer of leather to
keep his hides in weak liquor two wears,
and make it into leather the third. In
10Th cases there is two years of unpro-
ductlve capital. Better crowd the feed
and the tan into one year.
a hen may be calculated to consume
n bushel of corn yearly, and to lay
ten dozen or fifteen pounds OF eggs.
This is equivalent to saying that three
and one-tenth pounds of corn will pro-
duce when fed to 81 hen, five sixths of a
pouNd of eggs; but five sixtlls Of pound
OF pork requires about five pounds Of
corn for its production. Taking into ac-
count the nutriment in each and the
comparative prices of the two on an av-
erage, the pork is about three times as
! costly a food as the eggs, while it is GER
tainly less healthful.
The scientific American says that when
a tool gives out in using, or q machine
breaks down, the user and owner does
not console himself with the reflection
that he got it cheap" but he e~xtricates
the maker as heartily as though he l,ud
paid the highest market price; and he
goes no more to the low-priced manu-
factnrer, neither does he recommend
his productions. We are running
''cheapness" in to the ground, and the
day has come when high prices do not
repel provident people as first-class
workmanship attracts.

murder committed almost q year ago near
IWintcrset, Madison county. WAS first male
~ tpublic. A convict named Pugh, who was
ne wing out a sentence for horse stealing,
y finished the evidence which led to the dis
6very. The murdered mans name was
-. fewell, and he had mysteriously disap-
peared on the 18th day of last June. Pugh
stated that the missing man had b cen muir.
dered by a farmer named John Hammer
for the purpose of robbery, Newell having
but a short time previously received several
IRhfndsed dollars pension money, and that
he body of the dead
M2an was buried in the woods
1dar Hammers farm. Pugh was brought
company with the sheriff drove out near
the Hammer place and pointed out the spot.
A vigorous use of sbovels soon discovered n
human body in an advanced stage of de-
composition. There was a bullet hole in
the head, and the skull was fractured by Il
rock, and the throat Was cut. There was
indisputable evidence that the remains We're
those of Newell, and that he had been muir
dered. Pugh stated that Hammer had dis
closed the fact of the murder to him; that
he had assisted in the burial. There was
further corroborative evidence of an indis-
putable character, showing that Hammer
did the deed, and the ccrOner's jury so
found. Hammer was held in the Winterset
Jail, and his preliminary examination fixed
for che coming week.
On Wednesday night a mob gathered at
the fair grounds for the purpose of lynch

police, and were driven back and dispersed,
The attempt was repeated Thursday night,

of officers. Two successive failures caused
considerable sport among law abiding cit.

it was supposed bet er counsel had pre-
vailed, and the attempt would not be re
