The policy of the Wabash people since they
took control of the indianapolis, Peru & Chicago
road has been much of surprise to the friends
of the road While the unwise management has
told severely the passenger traffic of the road,
it has been the most serious on its freight bust
ness, as shown from the following statement In
the year 1880, the last year which V. 7. Malott
was general manager and H. B. Smith general
freight agent, the train records show that there
We're received and forwarded from Indian
apolis 6l,776 cars. Of that number AS
APO were loaded cars, or an average
movement of 931 loaded cars per week.
In the year 1883, most of which this division
was operated without division freight agent,
and little attention paid to their business com
paratively speaking there were but 3S, sos cars
handled at this point 80, 043 of which were
loaded cars, or an average movement of GIG
loaded cars per week. While portion of this
heavy falling off in business is due to a gen
orally lighter movement over all indianapolis
lines, had there been a wide-awake division
freight agent on this division there would not
have been decrease in movement of 1857
cars.

Our attention was called to the growing
and feeding of sorghum to mich cows
this season, and the results were highly
satisfactory. The ground was light sandy
soil and in every respect prepared the
same as for corn, with the exception that
fertilizers were scattered in the rows that
had been laid off for the seed. The seed
was sown somewhat thickly and came up
uniformly, growing we'll until just about
to head, when it was cut, cured and car
ried to the barn. AS soon as the crop was
cut off a second growth sprang up which,
though injured by the drought, produced
nearly as we'll as the first crop.
Growing sorghum for syrup and for
feeding is two different objects, and the
methods of cultivation are not alike. The
object in sowing it thickIy in the rows is
to make the plants as numerous as the
condition of the soil will allow, as the finer
the stalks the more acceptable to the stock !;
but 1t is best, however, to allow the crop
to approach maturity, even sending out
the shoots for the seed heads, but the crop
should be cut before the seeds leave the
milky state. Thus grown and harvested
there can be no part of it refused or re-
jected.
AS to its value as feed it was given en-
tire and also when cut. The cattle in both
cases seemed to prefer it to fodder corn
when fed IN connection with it. The sac
charine matter in sorghum being proper
tionately greater than in fodder corn it
was consequently more nutritious, and
must necessarily, therefore, be more pro-
ductive Of fat. No test was made as to
the proportions of milk given by the COWS
as compared with fodder corn, but the
flow was increased.
AS this crop seems specially adapted to
light soils, and is easily grown, there is
no reason why it should not be extern
sively cultivated and made an annual
crop on all farms. 1t can certainly be
produced at a low cost. considering its
many advantages. Next season more ex-
periments will be made, which we have
no doubt will be in favor Of the sorghum,
as valuable crop.-Fdrm and Garden.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

FIG SAUCE.-Wash the figs; chop them
coarse and stew in water enough to make
the sauce of the requisite cOnsistence.
BAKED APPLE PUDDING.-Boil good
apples, with dates enough to sweeten
them, in about one-fifth their bulk of
water. Put all through n cOlander; stir
in some grated bread crumbs and few
drops of lemon juice; bake about forty
minutes.
OATMEAL BREAD. Take oatmeal
mush and knead in dry oatmeal; roll out
to the thickness of one-quarter Of an inch
and cut with a cake cutter, or roll thin as
knife blade; bake as crisps. Boiling
water may be poured on the uncOOked Oat-
meal instead of using the mush.
RICE CAKEs.-Take two parts of boiled
rice, one part of corn meal and one part
of stoned or seedless raisins chopped fine;
mix with water to soft dough, roll into
small cakes and bake in pan busted
with meal to prevent sticking. 1t should
remain in the oven until a crust is formed.
GRAHAM PIE CRUsT.-POur boiling
water into wheat-meaI and stir to a soft
dough; roll out as thin as possible; sprin-
kle little meal over the pie plate and
spread this as the bottom crust. Make
the top crust by mixing wheat-meal with
ice-cold water; add grated cocOanut if
desired; knead as quickly as possible to
a stiff hard dough; roll very thin; cover
and bake Immediately.
INVITATIONS to dinner party are al
ways given in the name of both host and
hostess, but to ball or evening party
only the name of the lady is given. We'd
ding invitations are like dinner invita-
tions, and the father and mother invite
| the guests. If the lady of the house is
deceased the fathers name only is given
upon the cards; but for receptions and
dinners, If there is a daughter in society,
her name can also be added.
IT'S NOT considered good style to send
out notes of invitation by the pOstman or
through the mails. but a man must be
hired for the purpose and the notes sent
around in a basket to their destination.
Yet our sisters across the ocean do not
disdain 20 call in the penny-pOst to their
aid to distribute dinner and dancing in

supply the growing demand. Not only
that, he went so far as TO repudiate the
old and well-established maxim OF supply
and demand governing the price. Who
ever heard Of such unfOunded, ungrOund-
ed and fallacious theory? Supply and de-
mand are emphatically the ruling agen-
cies in fixing the prices or governing the
market in any and all communities. AS
to appearances indicative of the ruinOus
plan Of all-cOttOn, they are many and
glaring, and it is unnecessary to enume-
rate them.
Farmers, for your children's sake stop this
hazardous business before you put your
selves and them beyond redemption. You
will grow worse pecuniarily, wear your
lives away and not only leave them in alb
Ject poverty, but the most degraded Slave
ry that was ever entailed upon any people.
This spring open every alternate bed of
half your cotton land, plant in corn and
peas, and next fall and winter you will
have fatter stock, a pleasanter face, a more
cheerful heart, plenty to do until next
crop comes and, consequently, a purer
soul than you have had for years; you
will enjoy your wife and children's society
and they will be happy. II. g., in

New Vegetables.

New varieties of vegetables should not
be planted for profit in a small way as an
experiment, for my experience has been
that about two-thirds of the novelties in
troduced each year are no better than the
old varieties. For instance, of all the
vegetables offered during the last five
years there has been found no winter
squash better than the Hubbard, no sweet
corn better than the Minnesota for early
or StowelPs Evergreen for late. The true
jersey Wakefield is still the standard
early cabbage for market gardeners. Yet
some of the newer vegetables are worthy
of special mention. Among these is the
new Golden Dawn mango pepper. This
l have raised the past season, and found
it far ahead of all other manages l have
tried. The Danvers carrot is evidently a
cross between the Long Orange and Short
Horn, and is easier to harvest than the
Long Orange, while it will yield nearly or
quite as well. The. White Egg turnip is
the best of the rough-leaYed varieties. 1t
is good-sized, smooth, of pearly white
color and egg-shaped, while it is of good
table and keeping qualities. The Savoy
spinach is an improvement on the older
kinds. It's merits are the thick curly
leaves, which are very tender and heavier
than other varieties. The Perpetual Mar
ket or Dayton winter radish is an extra
nice radish for fall and winter use. Those
who have only raised the old, hard, indi-
gestible bitter varieties should try this
variety. For a strong bean, the Golden
Wax is the best of any that l have tried.
l can see nothing wonderful in the Anne
rican Wonder pea; l prefer the Little
Gem for my use. have tried several
new kinds of potatoes the past year, but
find none better than Clark's No. and the
Beauty of Hebron. Both of these do bet
ter with me than that old standard of ex-
cellence, the Early Rose. No doubt there
are other good varieties that l have not
tried, yet have tried good many.-COr-

And my desire come true!

Lincoln's cash" Stockings


Abraham Lincoln, while a resident of
New Salem, H., followed various avoca-
tiOns. With all the rest he was ''stOre-
keeper" and Postmaster. On a certain
occasion one of his friends, having learn
ed that an agent of the Post Office De-
partment and drummer were in the
village-the former to COLLEGE what was
due the government from Lincoln as Post
master, the latter to receive from him as
trader what he was owing the firm repre-
scented by himself-and knowing Lincoln
was never overburdened with spare
funds, went to the store and offered to
lend him a sum sufficient to meet the
claims he was soon to be called upon to
settle. ''YOu are very kind" said Lincoln.
''but do not think 1 shall require your
assistance" Within a few minutes the
agent entered their presence, and Lincoln
took an old stocking from a drawer, out
of which he poured lot of copper and
silver cOin-the latter mostly in pieces of
a small denomination. ''There is the very
money l have taken on account of the
post office" he remarked to the agent,
'Eand l think you will find it the exact
amount due you" 1t was, to a cent.
This business had hardly been concluded
when in came the drummer" Lincoln
had recourse to another old stocking, with
a similar result. So soon as the two were
again by themselves the friend said: 81

himself a third stocking would enable
YOU to settle with him." smiling.
''Yes," returned the future President.
"Look here" and he held up three other
stockings. ''ln each of these is the sum
l severally owe to three parties, the only
persons in the world to whom l am pecu-
niarily indebted. L see you are amused
at my method of transacting business. l

be, and intend to be prepared to pay my

itor and p lacing in it the money, to be
passed to the creditor himself at some flu
ture day-renders the former unneces-
