The President or Venezuela.

It seems rather discrepancy that the
presi lent of the republic of Venezuela
should receive $3.50. 600 year while the
President of the United States has only
$50, 900 and the premier Of England $50,
600. The present president, Guzman
Blanco, is said to possess a private for
tune of 81, 600, 600. Three DeMNiful
country houses are maintained for him
by the state, beside his residence at
Caracas and villa by the sea for the
bathing season; and altogetner he lives
in the greatest luxury and rules as q most
absolute despot Although nominalIy
only president of republic, he is in re-
atty an absolute dictator, ruling the
Venezuelans with rod of iron. One or
two examples of the arbitrary mode of
government of President Blanco may be
given. Soon after the railway between
Caracas and La Guayra Tin which he
holds great number of shares) was
opened he issued decree that all vehicles
on the excellent coach road, which had
always been hitherto used, should be en-
tirely stopped-thefeby, Of course, bring
ing grist to the railway mill, but throw
ing hundreds of people with their mules
and carts. out of employment. A few
days ago the resident engineer reported
10 the President that fish. plate had
been placed on the rails with the evident
object of upsetting the train on its pas
sage over narrow viaduct built by the
American contractor who commenced
but did not finish the line. General
Blanco Immediately without instituting
any inquiry with the object of discov-
ering the offenders, and without making
any distinction between rich and poor,
ordered every one living within radius
Of half mile of the scsne of the at
temped outrage-in all sixteen persons
TO be locked up for one month. -YSGa

Eggs.

Southern Planter.
Success inthe poultry yard very
much depends on the ability to get
the largest number eggs in the short
est possible time. A hen can produce
about so many eggs, and she may be
fed SO as to part with them in two
years, in producing the same num-
Der. Quick work means greater
profit, not only in production of eggs,
but in the market value of the hen
when eggs cease. We must learn the
art of feeding so that we can realize
all that is possible before the hen is
two years old, and then send her to
the chopping block fat and ready for
market.
The production of eggs is a con-
slant drain upon the hen. From one
and a half to two ounces of highly
concentrated food is secreted through
the tissues daily in order that the
eggs be formed, and this drain must
be met. The hopper will not carry,
or the stones grind unless the grain
be supplied. Now this quantity Of
food, necessary to form the eggs, con.
Estitutes about One-half of what is Ia
ken into the system daily, the re.
mainder going to form flesh and sus.
tain the fowl. This demand for yolk
albumen and shell forming material
goes on constantly and must be met
so that we may run this egg machine
at full blast until the vital forces are
exhausted.
Here is the secret underlying all
success and anyone who runs may
learn. Out of the grains, bones and
shells in their variety comes the sup
ply which will meet the demands o.
nature, and these with proper exer
else to sustain vitality, are what is
needed to keep up the flow Of eggs

the purest bred hogs, and the gain
would more than compensate for the
effort. They would be enabled to
command niger prices for farm stock,
the cost of transportation would be
lessened from the ability to market
in bulk, the most costly agricultural
implements could be produced, and
the advantages of schools, churches
and libraries be available to all. In
other words, if capital can stud the
ocean with thousands of sails, cross
the mountains with lightning speed,
and build up hundreds of mammoth
enterprises, it teaches farmers that by
following the same course they can
do many things for themselves that
would be impossible for the single
individual to perform. United effort
overcomes all difficulties and sur
mounts every obstacle, great or
small"

The School for Crime.
Clarksville Chronicle

GAINESVILLE Chronicle
EX-Warden Tom Waters didn't
shoot wide of the mark when he said
the penitentiary was a school for
crime. 1t has been proved at least in
one instance that this characterization
of the State prison is true.
Witnesses for the defense in the
Banner libel suit testified that the con-
victs were frequently worked on Sun
day, and the prosecution answered by
way of confession and avoidance that
they were paid extra for this work.
Convicts are sent to the penitentiary
to be punished for crimes committed,
with the hope of reforming them and
turning them out better men than
they were when they went in. This
cannot be very easily accomplished
while the lessees not only permit but
induce them to further violations OF
the law while they are serving out
their terms of imprisonment.
This practice of itself shows the
greed of the lessees and their utter
disregard of the convict's welfare. II
demonstrates the looseness with
which the State officials supervise the
branch prisons, (for it is to those in.
situations that this accusation is con.
fined, and it brings discredit on the
State that such thing should be
allowed.

f. ID. Curtis, editor of the Farmer

with but little expense to each, they
could produce the finest blooded
horses, the most snowy and graceful
cattle, the heaviest fieeced sheep or

Rural Record: The farmers in the
General Assembly of Tennessee met
in council recently, and declared, with
but two exceptions, that the protection
for the sheep of the State demands
that dog law should be passed at
this session. This is "ticklish" mat.
ter to deal with and the average can
didate fears to meet it, The dog is
the favorite brute companion of man,
and has strong hold on his affections.
But the sheep,killing dog always has
been the synonym of meanness and de.
serves not TO live in the land. Some
encouragement ought to be afforded
the sheep>raisers, that their focks will
not be destroyed by dogs. If law
could be passed allowing only one dog
to family, and hold the head of the
family responsible for its good conduct,
that would be something gained.

Tennessee has almost all the varieties
Of iron ores on exhibition, among which
are specular, magnetic, hard and soft

hematites, brown and red hematites,
