Bayard. He recognizes fully that the press

ers It is common to hear the remark that he
has reached the end Of his tether. Cleve-

The Prohibitionists

PITTsBURG, April 1G.-The Prohibitionists
are already outlining their campaign for the
next Presidential election. Secretary Swa-
ger, OF this city, in an interview to. day said !:
"The candidates will come, one from the
strongest Northern State and the other from
the strongest Southern State. Judge Hop
kips, Of New York, will most certainly head
the ticket, and Senator Colquitt, of Georgia,
will very likely be the candidate for the
second place. Judge Hopkins in 1882 polled
2S,0e0 votes at the gubsrnatorial elect ion.
Senator Colquitt is one of the most popular
men In the South, although still q member
of the Democratic party. We have the
assurance that in the next Presidential cleo
tisn he would sever his allegiance from the
old party and join with the tionists.
The two men named will in -. rrobability
be our ticket three years hence"

hind of farmer who spends rainy days in the
corner grocery. The pig-pen and the wood
pile are in the front yard, only our space is
not large enough to show them. He loses
half his lambs every year for want of proper
shelter. His chickens roost anywhere and
everywhere, and freeze their toes off in
winter because they never had hen house.
His harrows, plows and other farm imple-
ments stay out in the weather year after
year, and rot and rust. He loses by sheer
waste every year enough to dress himself
and his wife and children handsomely But
since he was married. With his long hair,
his old coat, dingy skin and tobacco drip
ping jaws, he himself looks for all the world
like the picture Of his house.

Cream Setting.

The following are the results of investiga-
tions male by Prof. Ford as to the effects OF
tie ordinary methods Of cream setting in
England as reported in the Agricultural
Gazctte:
l. Shaking of the milk before setting is
detrimental to n rapid separation Of the
cream. OF two samples of milk, one being
shaken before set aside, the latter required
eight hours to separate seven per cent. of
cream, the time required by the other to sep
arate the same quantity being only three
hours
:. Premature cooling of the mix before
sitting il more serious in its effec; upon a
thorough separation than the first mentioned
point. When milk conveyed to creamery
in n common vehicle by centrifugal separa-
ton gave 100 pounds of butter, a sample Of
milk of the same quantity and quality con-
veyed in the same manner, and set in ice
water, gave 00.S pounds, while another sam
pie that had been cooled, transported as
before, and then set in ice water, gave only
$40 pounds.
As a general rule, Prof Ford found that
the yield of butter grew less the over the
temperature Of the milk before setting.
When milk set IN ice water directly after
milking gave 100 pounds, milk that had been
previously cooled to 6S deg gave 95 Z pounds,
81 deg, gave 81 pounds, As deg. gave s63
pounds. A means Of restoring the original
qualities of such milk was found in warming
the milk to about 104 deg. before setting.

founl little difference IN the yield In conse-
quence. A yield Of Al Q bushels to the acre
was got from field where three pecks to the
acre were sown. The next yield, 80. s bushels,
came from sowing five pecks to the acre.
Prof. Lazenby also experimented In fer
tilizeTs. He obtained So bushels Of wh sat
from an acre of ground on which 800 pounds
OF sulphate of ammonia had been put. Seed
sown in the latter part of September and
first part of October gave the best yields.
Many interesting experiments with different
kinds Of fertilizers were made, with results
so contradictory and puzzling as to lead to
the w.se conclusion that nobody knows just
what is the best manure for wheat. A one
acre plot which was given five bushels OF
salt one year produced 3919 bushels Next
year 10 tons Of COW manure were plowed into
the same field, and it gave 81 bushels. The
varieties of wheat that weigh the heaviest TO
the bushel are as follows, with weight of
each: Bennett and Niger, G3 pounds each;
Rocky Mountain, Tasmanian, McGees' White,
62 pounds; Velvet Chaff, 625; Finley and
Egyptian, 61; Mediterranean. Tnea5well,

Experiments were made with lis varieties.
Among the hardest were found tho Clipper,

QUICK WITH HIS GUN,
Fred johnson Kills Neil Lane in Bozema,
Auant Courier, 3Oh.

Audnt Courier, 3Oth.
On Saturday evening last, at about seven
o'clock, in Sanborn & Ponsford's saloon,
Fred Johnson shot Neil Lane through the
mead. killing him almost instantly. The
shooting took place Immediately In front of
the BAR OF the saloon. 1t Is said that Iohn.
son hred three shots. The first, however did
the business, the ball entering at one side Of
Lanes face, and ranging upwards, passed
through the brain and made its exit on the
opposite side of the head, producing death
inside OF three seconds. The second shot
| hred hit Lane in the body and produced n
| deep flesh wound while the third shot missed
him entirely.
1t appears that the quarrel and bad blood
between the parties dates back nearly twelve

Johnson was a single man and Lane was
married. BY some means, however, 1t was
reported that johnson managed to ALLEVIATE
the affections of Lanes wife from her hus.
band, and so engrafted himself into her good
graces as to persuade her to go to the States,
after which johnson followed. This so in
censed Lane that he appears to have deter

shoot johnson on sight. Be this as 1t NAV,

States without the woman), and it soon be-
came known to most of the "sports" and to
several of our citizens that serious shoot

both were constantly armed and were clay

rious, and 1t is a matter of surprise that no
effort was made either by the peace officers
or others conversant with the facts to have
the parties arrested and heavily fined for
making threats and carrying concealed
weapons. 1t is hardly likely, however, that
such proceedings would have long delayed
the premeditated and deadly combat as Lane
appears to have been fully determined upon
revenge, while Johnson manifested no dis
position to avoid the conflict
On the same evening, and just preceding
the deadly affray, the two men met in the
saloon named, had some conversation and
took drink together, after which johnson
either started to go, or actually went out

fired the fatal shot, as stated.

A Lively Libel Suit.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. T'y., April H.
Some time since an attack was made upon
the editor of the Statesman by cne Read,
because it protested against Dan Stewart,
candidate for the postoffice here, appointing
Read, Republican, as deputy. The Union
here copied an article from a Territorial
paper based upon the fight, but which mixed
1t up very humorously, making out Stewart
was the attacking party and describing his
appearance after the editor of the Statesman
had got through with him. Stewart sues the
Union for $4,000 libel. Several lawyers
offer the Union their services free.

Law on Selling Live Stock.

The National Live Stock journal has some
observations ON the subject of the liability
of the seller in the purchase of horses, cattle,
etc. Among them are the following:
If one says his animal is sound, when it is
not, and knowing that it is subject to any Of
those diseases that are not. at all times, and,
to a careful observer, fully apparent, and
that it is balky, or breachy, or vicious, the
purchaser may likewise avoid the contract
ON the ground of fraud. Further than this,
If the animal possesses any defects that would
be matters material to the purchaser, which
he, with ordinary care and judgment, can
not perceive, these too must be disclosed, or
the contract Is null and void
If one is selling you an animal which he
knows to be unfit for the use intended, ac-
cording TO your avowed purposes, he cannot
enforce the contract unless the defects were
open to your observation, for the law binds
him TO disclose hidden defects which made
the animal unsuitable to your express pur-
