The Driving Boom.

The vernal season is here. 1t has come with
out any special grand opening and brings with
1t an unusual impulse for riding and driving.
Day after day, particularly in the evening, the
residence streets of the city and the smooth
roadways of the suburbs are thronged with
back. W. o. Patterson, the well-known livery
man at No. 80 East Court street, who has been a
horseman all his life, has foreseen this equine
boom and prepared for it. He now has sixteen
good, reliable, fine driving horses in livery,
having recently received a number of first-class
Kentucky horses. He has also put In this week
six new buggies and phaetons, made to order by
Robbins Il Garrard, of the most modern styles
and under his direct supervision. These are in
addition to the ten new vehicles put in last year.
Mr.. Patterson has a couple of fine phaetons par
ticularly adapted to ladies' use with quiet, gen.
tie horses. This stable is equipped with forty
with experienced and careful grOoms. Tele-
phone connections.

DELAYED Appointments.

Neither the Supreme Court judge nor the Ev-
%ansville metropolitan police commissioner were
appointed yesterday, as had been authorita-
lively announced. Governor Porter is in a per
picked state of mind over which of two men to
choose for judge, and the State board were not
prepared to name their man for police commits
sioner. The Supreme judge, however, will be
either Judge Fraser or Judge Hammond, and it
is likely that the police commissioner will be
Edward E. Law. 1t may be announced for
positively the last time that the appointments
will both be made to-day.

SIS 600 900 is estimated as the damage done
to the wheat in Illinois in one season, and
nearly ten years ago the annual loss in the
United States from insect depredations alone
was estimated at nearly $500, 100000.
In favor of farming it may be said, with
truth, that more persons, who begin by work
ing on a farm rise in competence and mod
est wealth, than in any other pursuit, Farm
wages may be low, but they usually include
board, while the temptations to dissipation
in the rural districts are much less than in
the cities.
Dr. w. A. Pratt, of'Elgin, Ill, the owner of
one of the largest herds of fine cattle in the
country, states that the feed from his silo
comes out in excellent condition and pleases
his stock, and of course himself, immensely.
His silo is one of the cheapest of the cheap
kind. 1t is simply an excavation in q soil,
naturally we'll drained 1t cost but a few
dollars, yet answers him as well as though he
had expended Il thousand dollars in brick
and cement work.
A plan in use in South Australia for lead
ing cattle said to be very effective is as fol-
lows: Tie the end of the rope around the
base of the near horn; pass the line across the
forehead, back behind the horns and under
the back OF the near ear thence up between
the ropes and the animals forehead. When
hauled taut hitch is made which takes in
the ear, the least pressure upon which by

A good kitchen garden well stocked with
different vegetables means a bountiful
supply of healthful food for the table. If
the farmer lives near village, especially one
with large factories, he may dispose Of
cabbage, green corn, peas, roots, ETC., with
profit. 1t will pay to look closely to this
matter and see if small plot of ground IL
garden vegetables may not yield larger re-
turns than whole field in farm crops. There
is but little out-of-door work in the garden
in mid-wInter.
That Eastern methods" OF farming are
equally we'll adapted in the broad prairies of
the West is shown in theexperience of Mr. A.
Reser, who thirteen years ago moved from
the East to the high prairie land in Marshall
county, Kan. Mr.. Reser farms but eighty
acres, but he has been remarkably successful,
and his success has, observes the Topeka
Farmer, in spite of drouths verified the re-
peated statement that more grain can be
raised from a well-tilled field OF ten acres
than from forty acres poorly tended
