dresses the people of this valley have

Farm and Live Stock Notes.
Robins never eat grain.
Milk at the same hour every day.
Haying commences in April in CAL
ifornia.
Bee-hives should have summer
shade.
Fences made of sod are common in
Ireland.
Field beans should be planted before
the 20th if possible.
Yard or stable the cattle and col
lect the manure daily.
A Boston chemist claims to have
discovered that corn cobs are more
nutritious as fodder than clover OF
Timothy hay.
Corn planted on sod turned over,
where cut worms abound, will be apt
to come out all right especially if
planted thickly, as the worms would
preferably feed on the grass roots.
Condensing milk is not practicable
on a scale smaller than from 5000 to
10000 quarts per day, and machinery
for this costs not less than $4,000.
The bulk is reduced to one-fourth by
the operation.
No crop pays better for thorough
wedding than the potato crop, yet there
is none oftener sighted. Commence
tillage early by the use of harrow
cultivator, following later by cultiva-
tors and plows.
Castor-oil for axle grease. This is
one of the best lubricators known for
iron or steel axles of ordinary vehicles.
A small quantity-about teaspoon
ful-is enough for each wheel, and the
use of more is wasteful. Sometimes a
damaged article, which is none the less
valuable for this purpose, can be
bought at the druggists, very cheap.
Aim to prevent disease in Poultry.
Fowls may easily be kept free from all
diseases by attending to their common
needs. They should above all things
have clean apartments, and such as
will thoroughly shelter them from wet
and wind. The food should embrace
grain, green stuff and meat or scraps
from the table, and be ted only in
such quantity as will be eaten up
clean each time. Clean water and
no other should always be within their
reach.
Milk Milking is often en-
trusted to the hired help or young boys
and girls who are apt to be careless as
regards this point. 1t should be in
sisted upon that every drop be drawn
from the udder. The last drawn milk
is not only the richest, but if any is
allowed to remain back, one time after
another, it will surely lead to falling
off in the quantity. The safest plan
is 10 have the mixers 60 over the
COWS again as soon as they are through
milking, and "strip" them thoroughly.

The new government postal note,
soon to be issued, is of slate-black
color. The design is the result of the
determination of the government to
devise note which could not he
'raised" from the amount for which it
was issued. This point is secured by
the removal Of the vertical row of fg-
nres signifying dollars in the old note,
and the substitution of a set of cou-
pons at the left of the notes, each
representing dollar. For note of
S1.25 the dimes and cents will be
punched in the new note from rows of
figures situated as in the sid note,
and the dollars will be denoted by
tearing off three coupons and leaving
one attached to the note.

"A TELEGRAM from Mansfield

says that the entire jury in the
jenkins case has signed an appli-
cation to the Board of Pardons, re-
questing clemency in the release Of
B. f. jenkins, Jr., convicted of the
murder of the Rev. j. Lane Borden,
without capital punishment. 1t is
supposed that the recommendation
is made upon the possibility of the
insanity Of the condemned man at
the time of the killing.

THE CONVENTIONS THIS DAY.

ventions meet here to-day for the
purpose of nominating candidates.
The public at large seems to re-
gard the nomination of Hon. w. T.
Blackman and Thomas Overton for
the judgeships q foregone conclu-
sion. Judge Blackman is the I'M
doubted choice of this Parish and
of Grant. Mr.. Overton has been
successful in obtaining the delega-
ton from his own (Avoyelles) Par
ish. 1t has all along been under
stood that the candidate having
the support Of his own Parish, would
as a matter of right and courtesy be
supported by the other in Conven-
ton. We believe this still to be
the feeling, and we regret that the
report has been circulated to the
contrary. Such reports are calcu-
lated to estrange the Democracy of
the two Parishes, Avoyelles and
Rapides, and thus destroy that har-
mony and unity, that is so essential
for success.
No one Parish must assume the
right of dictation, and we are justly
proud of the position of the Rapides
Democracy on this question. I'm
solicited, the good sense and pa
triotism of our people has caused
them to respect the wishes of her
sister Parishes, in reference to the
judgeships, and no effort has been
or will be made to force on them a
candidate that is not the unmistak-
able CHOICE of the Democracy of
their Parish. Any other course
would result in confusion, and dis
astrous defeat-a disintegration of
the Democratic party at this cleo
ton, and the probable triumph Of a
Republican.
Fair play there mast be, and we
feel assured that individual aspira-
tons and preferences will not cause
dissensions in the ranks Of our
party.
AS to the Senatorial Convention
we think the resolution offered by
Robt. P. Hunter, and adopted by
our Parish Convention, ill-advised
and unsatisfactory. The delegates
should have been left untrammeled,
to act for the best interests of the
party and State.
There are grave and serious rea-
sons why Rapides should elect a
Senator. They are moro weighty
than the mere honoring of a true
Democrat of Vernon Parish. We
wish some one literally identified
with our State Seminary interest
who will labor to bring back this
institution to its proper and original
domicil.
An earnest effort will be made to
do this, and we need the earnest
labor of a representative man to
accomplish this result. Whatever
the conclusions of to-day's delibera-
tons, we will be found in the fore
most ranks battling for the success
f the ticket.

agraphs from the official report OF
the Democratic Convention, held at

THE JENK1Ns.B0RDEN TRIAL.

The public have bsen long in sus-
pense watching the eesult Of this
trial. The question that interests
us more than any other is--can the
law be impartially enforced in this
State9 Can murderers be punished
and the law indicated? The pub
lie will be gratified at least to learn
that one of the accused-Ben Jen-
kins-was found guilty without cap
ital punishment. The other broth
CT was acquitted. The verdict OF
the jury is partially satisfactory to
the public. It is worthy of note
that man occupying social station
with rich relations, whose hands are
dyed with human blood, has been
convicted and will receive the same
sentence and punishment that other
humber and ignorant criminals re-
ceive. The District Attorney who
prosecuted exhibited more than Or
binary courage in preventing a
packed jury. The judge presiding
was firm and did not yield to the
bull-dozing storm aroundhim. The
jury, it seems, were men Of IN
tegrity, whose moral courage was
not to be swayed by improper mo-
tives. It is gratifying to the moral
and peace-abiding citizens to know
that the majesty Of the law has
been indicated, and a guilty man
will be punished.
In this connection it is also graf
flying for us to say that the virtue,
purify and innocence of a young and
accomplished lady, whose good rep
utation was balancing in the scale,
has been vindicated. Her modesty
has, no doubt, been shocked, but
above all earthly considerations, her
good name has been saved. Let
Justice be done though the Heavens
fall.
The following was the verdict
Of the Jury in the Jenkins-Borden
trial:
owe, the jury, find Ned Jenkins
not guilty, in the manner and form
as charged. We, the jury, find Ben
jenkins guilty, in the manner and
form as charged, without capital
punishment" Signed,
II. G. PETERSON,
Foreman.
Judge Logan ordered the sheriff
not to adjourn court for some time,
when the friends of the prisoners
approached them to express their
feelings at the result. The aged
father clasped the young men to his
heart, expressing his feelings in a
manner better imagined than can be
told. The Judge told the jury that
they were relieved. That their du-
ties were ended, and if he were in
the Legislature he would pass an act
for their special benefit to exempt
them from jury service for eight
years.
