The SKATING RISK.--The latest ac-
counts furnish authentic evidence
that Mr.. n. ID. Adams received an
introduction to the rink floor a short
time since. 1t is said that the latter
was very much "struck" by its new
acquaintance. Perhaps the "mash"
was mutual. 1t is feared by some
that Mr.. Adams will soon start for
Pennsylvania
Adult r. Armstrong received a
fall on last Friday night and sprained
his wrist, but it proved to be not SER
ious.
Prof. Wilson was among the num-
Der that visited the rink last week.
He seemed to enjoy the exercise very
much.
Mr.. G. G. Heimer is numbered
among the persistent skaters.
1t is reported that Mr.. j. d. Swee-
ney's late increase in weight of ten
pounds is due to his exercising at
the rink. Whether this accounts for
the existing phenomenon is not pos
itively certain, but at any rate there
seems to be large Democratic
gains"
Mr.. Gray Latham engaged for a
short time in the game of foot ball
last Saturday night, but in the midst
of the game from some internal cause,
which made slight appearance ex
ternally, excused himself gracefully,
and in like manner evacuated the
rink.
The band is playing this week on
the usual nights.
At the game of foot ball at the
rink last Saturday night Mr.. Nate
Kiger thought to make a substitu-
ton of himself for the ball, but he
soon got tired of his position and re-
signed it as freely as he had accept
ed it.

THOSE Who ADvERffsE.-Ourfa
vorite and sprightly contemporary,
the Athens Journal, edited by Miss
Jennie Jones, who is we'll known
here, describes those who advertise
and those who do not, after this
style: at can be laid down as rule
that in these days of universal adj
vertising the man who don't adver-
tise either has nothing for sale which
will bear talking about, or he is so
old fogysh in his methods of bust
ness that he has gotten so far be-
hind the times that he will never
catch up. There is no surer evidence
of snap and energy in a business
man or firm than advertising. In
the store or ware-rooms of a large
advertiser the purchaser finds the
latest styles, the best material, and
the most approved patterns, the most
reliable goods, and the most adj
vanced business methods. Adver-
Using pays not only in the matter of
attracting customers, which is the
legitimate aim of all advertisements,
but it enables the reader to see who
are the really live and energetic men
in any line of business.
A RAILROAD CONTRACTOR ASSIGNS
Col. Fosters LOSING CONTRACT
A considerable ripple was caused in
railroad circles here last week by the
announcement that Col. Foster, the
railroad contractor, had made an as
signment for the benefit of his credi
tors. Numerous wild stories were
ahoat concerning the failure that
had no foundation. Investigation
shows the story to be about this:
During the past year he has been
grading q section of the B. u o.
railroad between this place and Uf
fington. The contract seems to have
been a hard one, and instead of max
ing handsome profit on the work
he has been steadily losing a little
money as the estimates seem to show.
At this time he finds his liabilities
to he about $4,000, and the assets
are estimated at something less than
$4,000 Two assignments were made,
one covering the plant used on the
railroad to Jno. w. Mason, for the
benefit of Grafton creditors; the
other to j. M. Hagans, of the funds
due from the railroad company, for
the benefit of creditors here. The
creditors are our merchants and
number of boarding house propri
etors. The final estimates of the en-
gineers on Col Fosters work are
not in yet, hence it can not be accu
rately ascertained what per cent. of
the liabilities will be paid. So far as
we have heard, people are generally
inclined to be charitable about the
matter, many of them attributing
the difficulty to the debtors misfor
tune. The losses, though generally
small, will fall heavily upon the
losers.

"Treating" and Law.

The failure which is announced OF
the '.anti-treating" law IN Nebraska
was a foregone conclusion. No law
could be framed for such purpose
which could not be evaded; and any
law attempting To achieve such
purpose was sure To be provocative OF
evasion. 1t was one of those invasions
of natural right which man instinc-
lively regards as "a challenge. 1t was
safe to predict when the law passed
that men who had never treated in
their lives would try it once, for the
mere purpose of showing their con-
tempt for the law or asserting their
independence. The result shows that
the prediction would have been abun-
dainty verified. The effort to find
methods of evading the law has given
very decided impetus to the drink
ing habit.
This is unquestionably misfortune.
The treating" habit is undoubtedly "A
great evil. 1t lies at the root OF a
vast amount of lntemperance. 1t is
responsible for fully fifty per cent. OF
the drinking that is done, and proba-
! bly, for much more. 1t is the cause
more than anything else of that "drink-
inc between drinks" which has been
described as the only drinking which
produces drunkenness. Detroit Free

Summer Seeding in Grass.

The most successful seeding to grass
may be done in July and August, after
the grain crops are taken OIL. The
present season has been bad one for
the seed sown last fall. The hard
winter destroyed the timothy, and the
late spring has interfered greatly with
the seeding of the clover. AS rule,
it may be said that summer seeding is
more successful than fall and spring
seeding, but the ground must be thor
oughly well prepared. The whole So
cret lies in this preparation. The
following plan has been found ex-
cellent The stubble is we'll plowed,
not more than four inches deep, and
Immediately narrowed, in thorough
manner. There are several new im-
plements which do this work in tho
best manner, pulverizing the soil,
leveling the surface and smoothing it,
so as to get the land in the most per-
feet condition for the seed. After ali
this has been done, and the furrow
marks obliterated, the seed is sown
and the surface Immediately rolled.
If thus is done in July, nothing more
is required. If 1t Is lett later, 1t will
be desirable to SOW turnip seed, at the
rate of one pound per acre, with the
grass seed. This affords protection
for the young grass and clover in the
! fall and winter. We have found it a
good plan to leave tho turnips on the
ground and not gather them. They
will be killed by the frost, and the
leaves falling down, furnish protection
to the grass during the winter, and in
the early spring, when so much dam
age is usually done by the alternate
thaws and frosts. The grass will
usual furnish one cutting the same
season, but it should not be pastured
AS the surface is not yet firm enough
nor the plants sufficiently we'll rooted
to stand such tax.

Parasitic Disease In Lambs.

Lambs are subject to parasitic dis
ease which is always fatal to them if
neglected. 1t is known among shep-
herds by the suggestive names OF
''pining" and 'paper-skin," and by
veterinarians as ''anHmia," or want
of blood 1t is caused by thread
worm, which exists in the lungs aud
air passages, and interferes so much
with the breathing as to prevent the
due aeration of the blood, and the
necessary supply of this vital fluid.
The consequence Is, that the red glob-
ules of the blood are lacking; the
blood is pale, and the growth OF the
animal is arrested. The skin appears
white and thin, like paper, and the
young creatures are weak, and pine
away gradually for want OF adequate
nutrition, and finally die. A similar
parasite produces the disease in calves,
known as "husk," or 'hoose,' and
another causes ''gapes" in young
chickens. 1t affects lambs that Craze
in pastures with old sheep; calves are
troubled which are fed with the COW,
or upon hay from fields where older
animals are pastured; and young
chicks which run upon the ground
fouled by the hens, are apt to get the
gapes. To prevent it, this chief cause
is to be avoided, while to cure 1t, the
usual and effective remedy is to give
small, repeated doses of turpentine.
The following mixture is recommend
ed: To one ounce of mOlasses, or I'm
seed oil, add one-fourth of an ounce
of spirits of turpentine; shake vel
Cheyenne transporter. [volume] (Darlington, Indian Terr.) 1879-1886, 1885-10-25

together, and give one teaspoonful to
each lamb, early in the morning For
a calf, one tablespoonful should be
given, an hour before feeding in the
morning; and one drop may be given
to small chicken. The remedy
should be repeated for week or ten
days as it is necessary that sufficient
quantity of the turpentine should be
given to secure its escape through the
lungs of the animal by exhalation.

Hints About Winter Pigs.

The farmer who is this year making
his first experiment in raising winter
pigs, would do well TO bear in mind,
that in his zeal to make his brood sow
pens snug and cosy, he is every whit
as likely to overrun the mark, as the
reverse. His anxiety to have every
thing as warm and comfortable as
possible, will be very apt to lead him
to close all means of ventilation to ex-
clude even proper amount of light,
or to give the little strangers no chance
whatever for exercise. Then he will
probably be astonshed to find that his
pigs, though seemingly healthy and
thriving, suddenly begin to die off. 1t
is not from being lain upon, evidently;
it surely can not be from starvation;
and cold is out of the question. There
is no apparent cause to his mind for
this startling mortality; and vet the
explanation is simple enough, viz,
vtiated atmosphere, and lack of ex-
ercise. Farm animals are not so wide
ly different from human beings in
their physical requirements, as many
are inclined to think. ''Its only for
the hogs" isan argument that appeals
only TO the unenlightened. Make your
pens as warm and tight as you please,
but, for pork and profits sake, give
them decent ventilation and plenty of
light. Give your young pigs chance
to run about, and stretch themselves,
too. If your pens are in piggery,
let there be small opening into an
other and larger pen, where the pigs
can scamper around. and pick up a
little extra feed, thrown in from time
to time; or if they are in your barn,
make an opening through which your
pigs can get out to the barn floor, and
root about among the grass seeds. In
either case, it is good plan to have
small, hinged doors, opening outward
(to the south, if possible), which you
can open on sunny days, and let your
pigs out for a run in the open. Keep
them in close confinement, and failure
is certain. You can no more expect to
raise winter pigs successfully, in a
small stutfy pen, than you can hope TO
grow Jacqueminot roses in your cellar.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
Gleanings from Advance Sheets of the Ameri-
can Agricuturist for July.
Millet or Hungarian Grass.

Millet or Hungarian Grass.
There are few farms where there is
not more or less land that cannot be or
is not occupied with the ordinary crops,
such as corn, corn fodder, potatoes,
oats, barley, wheat, peas, or beans.
1t is too late to plow early enough in
the season for the crops, Oh it may be
the land was planted to corn, or pota-
toes, or beans, and the frost destroys
them. After the first of July, the only
crops that can be sown TO advantage
are: winter wheat, or winter rye, for
next year; and for crop this year,
turnips. and millet or Hungarian
grass. There is not much difference
between millet and Hungarian grass.
Sow whichever is most convenient.
Perhaps the Hungarang garss makes
the best fodder. Any good land that
can be- brought into fine, mellow
condition, with moisture enough to
germinate the seed, will produce mil
let or Hungarian grass. On dry up
land it is not always easy, during dry,
hot weather, to secure the desired tilth.
1t requires a free use of the harrow
and roller, first one and then the other,
to reduce the hard clods. A good
roller is especially needed. You can
not roll dry land too much. On moist,
mucky, or alluvial soil, it is an easy
matter at this season to put in crop
of millet or Hungarian grass. If the
land is not too rough, or too heavily
covered with grass or weeds, a gang
plow that, with three horses, will turn
over four or five acres day, five or
six inches deep, is as good as an ordi-
nary plow and much more expedi-
tous. Then harrow until the ground
is smooth and mellow, and sow from
three pecks to one bushel of seed per
acre, broadcast, and 90 over it with
light harrow and finish with a roller,
and the work is done. The earlier the
seed can be sown after the first of
July, the better; but a fair crop can
be grown if not sown until the first OF
August. For fodder or hay, cut be-
fore the seed gets out of the milk, and
as much earlier as you like. If the
crop is very heavy, and likely to
lodge, cut as soon as the plants are in
blossom. We have cut it with u now
ing machine, and cured IL as we do
ordinary grass; and we sometimes cut
it with reaper that throws the crop
into punches. In the latter case, the
horses do not trample the grass into
the loose soil. The punches are turn
ed when necessary, and afterwards
thrown In good-sized and cOmpactly
made cocks which will shed the rain
1t can remain in these cocks for severa
days, or until there is prospect o.
settled weather. The crop will wei
repay all the labor of sowing anC
curing it, In fact, few crops in pro
portion to the time and labor required
will pay better. Horses, COWS an'
sheep eat it greedily, either in tn
green, half-cured or cured state. l
is a good crop to sow.

Law and Lawyers.

Law anu IhWycTSs
1t cannot be supposed that every one
who appears in court of justice pos
sesses that amount of familiarity with
his country's laws which would make
him fit or capable exponent of his
own cause, although there are some
chronic offenders who, by long exper-
perience, have become as expert in
cheating the gallows and the jail,
as a regularly ordained counsellor ut
law.
Almost every person WHO attains
years of maturity, sooner or later, has
some cause which can be settled only
at the bar of Justice, as, for instance,
when the matured person refuses to
comply with his promise TO commir
matrimony, and refuses to meet his
other obligations.
The duties of lawyer are not such
as can be discharged by one who is
unfamiliar with their requirements,
for the art of bullyragging witnesses
and throwing dust In the optics of the
jury is rot as easy rs might be sup
posed. 1t requires time to harden the
cheek OF the criminal lawyer to the
requisite degree of toughness.
At all times the harvest of lawyers
has been abundant, and there is no
immediate reason for fearing that the
supply will diminish, as the crop is
not affected by late frost or drouth, or
the seventeen year locusts.
Laws are formed 20 guide the good
and restrain the evil, but they do
neither the one nor the other, owing
to the skill with which the laws are
perverted by the lawyers. who get
themselves elected to the legislature,
where thay can mix up the laws so as
to promote litigation. Its apostles
and expounders should try above all
others to see it's majesty maintained.
The fact that man is a lawyer does
not argue that he is wholly abandoned
that he has nothing in common with
his fellow man. Their interests are
identical with those of other citizens.
They cannot harm others without
sooner or later harming themselves.
Let the lawyer vindicate truth and
elevate his profession from the lab
rynths of past darkness.
The first duty of every citizen is to
his county. Law Is the only profession
that reverses this maxim. The lawyer
claims that his first and highest duty
is to his client. He has no desire
to see justice vindicated; usually that
is precisely what he tries TO prevent
Since the days of Socrates this has
been legal maxim: 1.-The advocate
should keep probability in view, and
say farewell to the truth" This is 6
little trying to tender susceptbilitles,
but it is true. 1t is rather crue
statement of the case, but lawyers
throughout the worlds history have
justified the remark. Few lawyer:
ever make speech at the bar that il
not full of fallacies. The most brillian
advocate and the most contemptibl'
shyster make common cause t
subvert the laws of their country. =
