The Carpenter Case.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
PETERSBURG, March 18-The prosecution in
the Carpenter murder trial introduced three wit
nesses this morning, and rested their case. The
defense demanded that Frank Simmons be
called by the prosecution, as his name was on
the back of the Indictment. The court permit
ted this and the witness declared he was posi-
tive the man seen in the buggy near the scene of
the murder on the night of the tragedy was not

him fairly. In the afternoon the defense opened

The President expects to give one more state
dinner this season, and after lent one general
reception. The custom he has set of inviting
all the members of Congress to dinner once a
year, while very agreeable to members, has been
rather costly one The dinners thus far given
have cost over S, 900, OR more than one-tenth of
the yearly salary. Only two members have de-
clined to attend these dinners. One was Sena-
tor Riddleberger. He declined because he re-
ceived word that his brothers children were sick
and were probably dying with scarlet fever, and
he expected to go to his brothers at once. Con
gresham Frank Hurd declined on account of i'm
peratfve business on that day. The President
understands fully that no snub was intended, as
has been reported.

The Farming World.

The Farming W 0flu.
Farmers who attempt to carry any young cat
tie through the winter cannot get along very
well without some kind of green stuff for them.
Winter wheat is good for pasture when sown
early and has grown rapidly in the fall, but there
are many who believe it is a serious injury to
the wheat, and positive loss to the owner to
pasture it. Those who have once tried it agree
that there is nothing equal TO a small field of
rye. This may be grazed all winter and turned
under III the late spring as a manure. Cattle,
sheep and in fact all the animals on the farm,
are very greatly benefited by an occasional run
on this kind of pasture in the winter
months. Probably the most successful
mule breeder who ever operated in
Kentucky attributed his success i'll
producing, large, well-developed fancy work
mules, such as are always in active demand the
world over, to his rye. To be sure he purchased
none but good colts and sold the eulls from his
own breeding; and pastured them all on rye
fields during much of the winter as the
weather and other circumstances would allow.
The writer has otter heard him remark that
frst-class article in the mule line could not be
produced without some kind of green feed dur
ing the winter for the first two years. Much of
the corn and hay and oats fed to calves and
sheep during the even cold weather of the past
few weeks might have been saved if each one of
us had sOwn even a very small field of rye last
fall, and the stock would have come out of the
winter in better condition and healthier than
they can when they have been confined to dry
aai
