AN ABLE, MANLY LETTER.
HOlmes County and the Levee District.


Hclmes County and the Levee District.
We herewith publish extract of
a letter from the Hon. w. ID.
Gibbs, candidate for Floater from
Holmes and Yazoo counties, in re.
ply TO Eulogy precinct, Holmes
county:
"While | have great respect for
the opinions of the good people
who live in the vicinity of "Eulo.
gy Precinct and desire greatly
their good will and support pro
vided they can be honorable oh
tanned, | must do exactly what
you and they, If they knew me
as you do, expected me to do when
the resolutions were passed and
the letter written, viz: decline to
repudiate the action of the repre-.
sentatives from Yazoo in the Leg.
islature of 1884. With due re.
spect, | must decline to forswear
allegiance to my own county in
the style required by the letter
and resolutions.
am a native of YazOo county
as you know, and have often been
honored by her people far beyond
my deserts, and could not afford
to put myself in the attitude of re.
pudiating the views and interests
of the county for any position in
the State. | would rather incur
certain defeat and stay with my
people than achieve any success
at the expense of their interest
and wishes. In this instance there
are insuperable objections to max.
ing the pledge demanded.
First. 1t would, as a question
purely of mathematics, be poor
policy to sacrific the support of
Yazoo county, to secure "Eulogy
Precinct" especially since Yazoo
claims the right to name the Float.
er and Holmes comedies the
claim.
Second. 1t would be poor poll
tics to comply with your demand
and forfeit the good opinion OF
those who dwell in the bills of
Holmes and are unaffected by the
question, (since they pay no levee
taxes under any circumstances
who would take very little stock
in one who would appear to be
willing in his anxiety to get an of.
fee to repudiate his own county.
They would view with great sus.
picion pledges made under such
circumstances. / am afraid that
you and those that composed the
mass meeting which you represent
would not put much faith in them
if | were to make them.
Third. 1t would be against the
plainest dictates of common sense
to make such a pledge, before
had obtained some certain infor
nation, as to what the majority Of
those people in Holmes county
who live on the river and Tchula
Lake, really want. | know some
prominent planters there who are
reported to favor putting theil
lands into the Levee District.
Fourth. | would not be right.
Fifth. Your demand is coupled
with a threat.
If my views concurred with
your own and those of the mass
meeting which you represent, that
tact would prelude the possibility
of my making the pledge demand
ed by you. You say that If | don't
announce myself on this point,

Changing the Nose.

1.-THE nose is simply piece of carti'
lage," said surgeon, "and its SHAPE
can be changed with ease. A clever
.Frenchman, some years ago, invented
machine tor that purpose, and has
made fortune by it, so many people
are troubled with noses whose shapes
do not please their owners or their
owners friends. The machine con.
sisted of small shell in two. parts
hinged together. 1t is in shape inside
that Of a perfectly nodded nose, &C
cording to the type OF the features of
the wearer. Thus you can obtain a
Roman, Grecian, retrousse, aquiline, OF
any other shape you desire. To apply
the instrument the nose is first bathed
in warm water at bedtime, anG
thoroughly heated and softened. Then
it is well creased with olive oil, gly.
cerine, vaseline, or other oily sub.
stances. Finally the nose improver is
fixed on and the sides clasped together
and the wearer keeps it on all night
taking care in the morning to wasf
with cold water only. 1t is a rather
painful process at first, but after the
first two or three applications of. the
improver there is no more trouble. II
about month the nose begins to TAX
its new shape and at the end, of from
j eight to ten weeks the alterations ar
said to be perfect and permanent
that is, until the patient becomes tire
fthat particular shape and is desir
Gus of having another, when the sam
operation with another instrument
necessitated. l have known people t
,hange their noses four or five time
in as many years. In that way ma
could change the style of his nose a
ne changed the cut of his trousers.

The American Grit.

Commander Schely's book has one
6ne touch. Lieut. Greedy was the first
man in the desolate camp at Cape Sa-
Dine to hear the steam whistle of the
Thetis. He told his companions that
he had heard steamers whistle. but
they thought it was only tho roaring
of the wind. Serg Long went out Of
the tent, but speedy returned with the
remark that there was nothing in
sight. Lieut.. Greedy settled himself in
his sleeping bag, but was aroused not
long afterward when Lieut.. Colwell
cut down the tent. "Greely IS this
you?" the gallant rescuer asked,
YES" said Greedy in faint. broken
voice, hesitating and shutting with
bis words. 'Yes-seven of us left
here we are dying-like men. Did
what came to do-beat the best rec
ord" Then he fell back exhausted.
Lieut. Greedy, dying like a man, but
proud of his exploit and conscious
that he had beaten the best record, is q
noble type of American grit.-Neu

To prevent door-hinges ereaking,
rub them with soap.
Cream of tartar rubbed upon soiled
white kid gloves cleanses them well.
A shovelful of hot Goals held over
vanished furniture will take out
spots and stains. Rub the place while
warm with flannel.
Plaster of Paris ornaments can be
cleansed by covering them with thick
layer of starch, letting it dry thor
oughly, and then brushing with stiff
brush. All the dust will adhere to the
starch and come off with it.
Spots caused by common black ink
on mahogany tables usually affect the
polish of the same. 1t will therefore
be necessary to polish the stained
places after removing the spots, which
can be done in the following manner
dissolve little oxalic acid, and rub
with small sponge wet with this So
luton; then wash well with clear wa.
ter and polish with little sweet oil
and soft flannel cloth; but if the ink
should be colored use a mixture Of
strong alcohol and sharp vinegar.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman gives an account OF storing
fodder In the silo on new plan. He
grew his corn planted as usual, and
when it was ripe pulled off the ears
with the husks on and spread them ON
a grass field to cure. The stalks were
then cut up short and put in the silo.
This made good feed and the corn
hardened nearly as well as when left
on the stalk. .-........
Mr.. Edwin Phelps Of Pontiac tried
the same method last season, except
that the corn stalks were put into the
silo without cutting, but just as they
came from the field To some extent
the fodder was spoiled on the sides OF
the silo, but the most of it came out
in good order. Mr.. Phelps thinks he
should prefer cutting them.
This method gives a crop of grain
and with little trouble puts the
stalks where they will keep, beyond
danger of spelling and ready to feed,
without further preparation.

FOR THE FARMLAND HOME.
Feeding Calves.

The easiest way to feed a young
calf is to let it suck the cow and run
with her all the time, But 1t is not
best for the cow to do this. The next
easiest and better way is to let the
calf suck the cow twice a day and
keep them separate. This is not good
for the calf, which learns the habit or
sucking, and it is difficult to wean it
from this afterward. 1t is not good
for the cow either, for sometimes she
will hold up her milk and get the gar
get and be ruined. The best way
and really the easiest, because it saves
trouble with the cows and calves from
the beginning to the ends to take
away the calf before it has sucked,
milk the COW and feed the calf, and to
have each calf kept by itself. 1t costs
little more to provide the pens, but
it is great convenience in dairy
when it is fully carried out.-Ne'1

He Got the Pass.

A good story is told of certain
prominent railway director. who il
equally renowned for his ability to
take or make joke. A railway EN-

Buttermilk for Calves and Pigs.

We are asked the value of butter
milk for swine and calves, and why it
is not considered as safe to feed with
any additional food, as skinned milk.
Buttermilk, if in good condition, has a
value very similar to skinned milk.
1t is slightly richer in fat, having one
per cent. and slightly less albuminoid
matter. 1t is figured at twenty-five
cents per one hundred pounds. 1t will
produce rapid growth on calves or
pigs if it does not derange the stomach.
But buttermilk is apt to be in strong
condition of fermentation. This very
soon produces a bad form of scours,
which, unless taken quickly, may end
fatally. 1t is hardly safe to feed but
termilk without mixing one-half
pound of finished middlings (what
farmers call "canet") per gallon OF
buttermilk. If it is quite. sour it
should be boiled with the middlings.
The heat will neutralize the acidity,
but it will not be as valuable as be-
fore fermentation has eaten up some
of the food elements. We often re-
commend keeping little flaxseed on
hand for use in checking scours. and

Omen Air For Animals.


Many estimates have been made OF
loss by exposure of farm stock, COWS
especially, in barnyard or field for even
an hour or so in the middle of fair
late-f fall, winter and spring days
The argument is that animal heat"
Is thus dissipated which must be made
good by extra feed. But is it not worth
while to take into the account the in
crease of vital force occasioned by
this exercise in open air and the intlu-
ence of direct rays of the life-sustain-
ing sun? Cleanliness in stables, per-
feet facilities for ventilation and many
windows to admit light, offset to some
extent, never fully, the need and ad-
vantage Of the outdoor intervals; but
such pleasant conditions are unfortu-
nately foreign to most barns. Mean
while domestic animals must be in the
highest vigor to give best results in
milk, beef, mutton or pork, hence the
saving of fodder by constant confne-
ment may be more than neutralized by
the decline in thrift. This is a mat
ter for present and summer considera-
ton of those who practice the soiling
system, which with its economy OF
feed, has, besides the increased labor
involved, the added disadvantage of be-
ing contrary to nature" which com
pels stock to travel for their rations

An Orchard Fertilizer.

The best fertilizer l have used for
fruit trees is made of chip-dirt from
the wood-pile, and old ashes. l mix
in the proportion of one bushel of the
ashes to three OF the chip-dirt, stirring
well with the shovel. About two
bushels of this mixture is to be spread
around each young tree. giving large
we'll grown trees more. The manure
is applied at any season. Do not pile
around the trees any litter or rubbish
that would harbor mice. In summer
keep the weeds from around the trees,
Experience has taught me that this
fertilizer serves very important pur
pose, not only in supplying the trees
with suitable food, but in mellowlng
the soil, and helping on such crops as
/ may choose to plant in my orchard
1t is an excellent fertilizer for any
crop, annual or perennial, and the
ashes (from hard woody supply the
trees with the element they most need,
and the soil lacks, namely, potash.
1t is a pleasure to see how young
orchard will thrive after an applica.
ton of this fertilizer. Sometimes ]
burn logs to get ashes for this purpose,
and if I have no chip-dirt, l 60 to a
dead oak or hickory, and scrape to-
gether the fallen bits of bark, and the
rich earth around the tree. 1t is a
very good substitute for the chip-dirt
