COUNCIL BLUFFS CAVALRY.
A Move TO Organize a Company
Here.

There has often been expressed the de-
sire that Council Bluffs should have a
irst-class military company of some sort
as a means Of advertisement for the city
at large in time of peace, and a protec-
ton in time of war; a thing of beauty on
parade and a Joy forever to the young
men who join in the drill and discipline.
Major Richmond is now at the head of
such a movement, and as he is a thor
oughly experienced military man, an
organization as is proposed under such a
leadership ought to be a success every
way. 1t is proposed to organize a cav
airy company, and a number of young
men have already expressed their desire
to join, while there are doubtless a sutfi-
cient number of Others equally willing so
o as the move becomes known.

General Notes.

Remember the early pullets make the
hens that lay the fall and early winter
eggs. To get these set your hens early,
then feed and water often and regularly
tho little chicks when they put in an ap-
bodies warm and their fluffy down dry.
In Nebraska and Dakota, sod is found
to be an excellent substitute for wood in
building poultry houses, and much more
economical in these t~reeless lands. Like
wooded houses, they may be kept clean
and comfortable, or quite the reverse,
an | they are much easier to keep warm.
Now let the farmers housewife see to
it that the good man gets the garden
spot prepared for planting peas, lettuce,
radish and onion seeds and sets, as soon
as the ground is in good working condi-
ton. The earlier tho better. The
harder vegetables will stand "a right
smart frost" after they get a little start
and grow right along without injury.
Should they get killed, however, it is no
great trouble to replant, and thus secure
an average early crop. Gardening is one
of the things which should not be put
off for q more convenient season.
The Country Gentleman advises house.
holders who are puzzled to know how to
get rid of all sorts of rubbish, such as
broken glass, rusted stove pipe, brick
bats, broken crockery, ETC., to bury them.
On a farm they may be made to serve a
useful purpose as a part of the filling of
bitches, occupying a foot of space next
above the tile at the bottom. This will
facilitate the discharge of water, and at
the same time dispose of tho unsightly
refuse. The filling may be done in Sec
tions, year by year, so as to require no
accumulation of tho rubbish.
After all it seems that the gifted
veterinary surgeons who pronounced the
cattle disorder in Kansas foot.and-mouth
disease, were wholly wrong in their
diagnosis. 1t now turns out that the
complaint was caused by a superabund-
ance of a poisonous weed in the feed of
the affected herds. The sudden surgeons
ought to crawl off into some quiet place
and hide until their blunder is forgotten.
Casper Sockmiller, of Brown county,
who did most of the Observation-Disclosures
there, last season, says the average yield
of wheat was from % to 80 bushels per
acre, oats 30 to 10 bushels, barley As to
90 bushels, flax 10 to IL bushels, buck
wheat 10 to 20 bushels, millet 40 bushels,
rye 30 bushels. The grain was all sound
and plump and of the best quality. Un-
til last season there was but little prairie
broken in this section and of course the
total amount of grain does not show
heavy but the average shows what the
country can do for small grain. Corn
does well, but not much beside sod corn
has yet been raised. A number of farm
ers raised as much as forty to fifty bush
| els of good sound corn to the acre.

The Outlook for Fruit.

Replies to circulars sent out by q st.
Louis firm to ascertain the effect of the
severe weather of the past two months,
indicate that in Illinois the peach crop
has been entirely killed; cherries have
been badly injured; blackberries and
black raspberries have been killed to the
snow line; pears have been touched to
some extent; but red raspberries, straw
berries, apples, and other fruits are IN
good condition. In Kentucky the peach
crop is severely blighted. In Missis-
sippi the fruit buds are all right, but
rears are felt of wet frosts in the
spring. The prospects in Louisiana are
better than they have been for six years
The winter in Alabama was 30 severe as
to almost completely ruin the fruit crop,
and gardeners have turned their attention
to cultivating vegetables. In Texas the
peach and other fruit buds are in splen-
did condition, only, as in Mississippi,
fears are felt for frosrs in the spring.
The reports from Arkansas are to the ef-
feet that only a part of the peach r
was injured by the cold weather; straw
berries promise splendidly, and other
fruita are in good condition, with the ex-
ception of grapes.

John Banner and Miss Mary Krar

John Banner and Miss Mary Kramer
were married in the sherif7s office at
Sioux City a few days ago by Mayor
Swarts. About a month ago there was a
bad row at Michael's saloon, in which
Banter, the party of the first part, used
a knife, and Michael and four friends,
party of the second part, used a billiard
cue, fists and boots. The party of the
first part got badly pounded, and several
of the party of the second part got cut.
This row was about Mary Kramer, who
had loved the Banner not wisely but to a
considerable extent. The row came up
in various phases in the justices courts,
and finally came to the grand jury room.
That body decided that the law would
be satisfied if John Banner would marry
Mary Kramer. So he married her.

illustrate: My son of ten years of age

cured in twenty-four hours of his cough
by ALLcoCK's Porous PLATERs. Another
patient suffered from pain in the small of

was applied at night, and next morning
the pain had ceased. Again, a young

On the night of the 9th ult., about

Cutting Potatoes for Seed.

Some people object to cutting pota-
toes into small pieces for seed, and yet
it would be hard to persuade them to
put ten or twelve grains of corn in
each hill, although the effect is about the
same. When a potato is planted whole,
most, or many of the eyes, will grow
not all, but too many to do well.
The crop of potatoes under favorable
circumstance may measure out toler-
market them he finds he has too many
small ones good only to be fed to stock,
and often allowed to go to waste. The
experience of our best farmers and ex-
perimenters, among whom are DIR. Stur-
~tevant, of the Utica, New York, expert
mental station, and Prof. Sanborn, of
the Missouri agricultural college farm,
has shown that potatoess cut to one eye
to the piece and planted II to 10 inches
apart in the drill with rows 40 to A
inches apart give the greatest yield per
acre. Another point important in secur-
ing a good stand and early growth is
UllS Cutting VI tuo hCSu III tluiS w uiy
them off or coat them over before plant
ing. This retains the moisture in the piece
and directs it to the growth of the sprout
instead of rotting as they sometimes do
if planted Immediately after being cut.
The cutting may be done from four to
ten days before planting. A quick, COED
way to dry them is by rolling in land
plaster Immediately after cutting. With q
good kind and quality of potatoes for seed
there need be very little trouble in get
ting from two to three hundred bushels
to the acre on an average piece of west
ern sod land. We cover with seven inch
turning pillow and u the harrow over
just as the stalk is ready to break
through. After that the process is sim
pie. In st. Louis county, where large
quantities are grown for market, the
usual method is, at first blowing turn the
earth from the row.; second, use a double
shovel; and, third, turn the dirt up to
the row.-[St. Louis Agricultural.
