Lamps as Protectors of Plants.


A correspondent of Vick's Floral
Guide relates his experience with ordi-
nary kerosene lamps for keeping warm
the room in which plants were in cold
weather. No smoke was apparent, nor
any injury to the plants. AS precau-
ton the lamps were placed in pans OF
sand or dry ashes on the floor, and later
a length of wide pipe was put over each
lamp, to obscure the light. The cor
respondent says: 1.-THE great adj
vantages of such aids in severe weather
are the certainty Of their steady opera
tions all night at any degree to which
the wicks may be turned, up or down.
Towards spring have used lamps under
small propagating beds for supplying
bottom heat, using shallow, wide, tin
tank between the lamp and the soil,
with pipe for filling and short pipe
with gum tube slipped over it for
emptying, and for testing how much
water is in the tank. This is done by
lowering the end of the piece of tubing
till water begins to run from it. had
no tube to carry off the lamp fumes.
Some people allow lamp to burn all
night in their sleeping-rooms without
noticing any i'll effect. Those who
have plants in rooms where fire can not
be conveniently lept all night, may find
sufficient protection for their plants in
the heat from three or four lamps. The
temperature in cellars where fruit was
stored has been kept above the freezing
point in extremely cold weather by
keeping three or four lamps burning,

The Way in Which Some Colorado Ranch.
men Are Turning it Into Beef.
Wheat will be fed to stock this year
very much more generally than would
appear from ordinary observation. 1t
is healthy and productive of good re-
suits when fed, from cattle down to
poultry. When chopped and fed to beef
cattle, for instance, it will cause them to
put on flesh rapidly and thus return
two-fold in comparison with the ordi-
nary market price for wheat Occa-
sionally farmer will be found who
AYERS that he can raise wheat profitably
at ninety cents a hundred. 1t will be
seen, however, that such men have large
ranches, and raise, in most instances,
nothing else in any quantity. For an
ordinary farmer, then, it is much more
remunerative to feed wheat than sell it
at the price we have quoted. An ex-
change says regarding this: "a more
pressing point for farmers to consider
just now is. the utility of making use of
great deal of their wheat crop at home
for stock-feeding purposes, instead of
pressing it on the market under the dis
advantageous circumstances now exist
ing. Wheat meal may be made an adj
mirable substitute for oil cake in fatten-
ing cattle and sheep; hence those
farmers who have been accustomed to
make heavy OUTLAWS in the purchase of
oil cake for winter feeding of stock will
act imprudently if they do not abandon
the system this year and fall back on
their heavy stock of home-produced
wheat as substitute. Wheat meal is
reckoned even better than barley meal
for pig feeding, and it would be econo-
my to keep back nothing but tail barley
for pig consumption this season, mar
keting the whole of the head corn and
making use of wheat largely for the pro-
duction of pork. Prices of store pigs
have been low for some considerable
time and remain so at present. Farmers
of an enterprising turn will take advan-
tage of this circumstance by buying
largely store pigs and converting them
into pork, chiefly by the consumption of
wheat meal.
In some instances the ranchmen have
and purchased feed mill, as
in the case of the Platte Valley Grange,
with results beneficial to all concerned.
Wheat turned into beef is more protita-
BILE than when sold to the millers, and,
this being so, it requires no Solomon to
decide as to the best manner in which to
dispose of it.-CotOrdd0 Farmer.

On Thursday night, the 9th inst, a
man by the name of John Nicely,
while in attendance at a wedding and
ball at the residence of Mrs. Clara
Williams, in this parish, and about Is
miles north of this town, was shot and
instantly killed while standing on the
floor Of the ball room and in the ACT
of commencing dance, by some party
or parties as yet not positively known.
We are informed, however, that sus-
picion points strongly to certain par
ties who were participating in the fes-
tivities of the occasion, and from what
we can learn Of the affair it would not
surprise us to hear of the arrest of the
guilty ones at any moment.
We are informed that the trouble,
which resulted in the death of Nicely,
grew out Of a dispute about a dance,
and that the killing was unprovoked
and most foul and brutal murder,
the lights having been put out and
the deceased fred on and shot in the
back by the assassins, at moment
when he least expected trouble.
The above is given to the public
as related to us by responsible party,
but we do not vouch for its accuracy,
as our informant was not an eye wit
ness to the bloody and dark tragedy.
