CONVICT LABOR.

For some time past there has
been growing feeling in this
State against convict labor. To
make the State Prison vast work
shop where criminals are daily en-
gagged In competing with honest
artisans on the outside. is simply a
scheme for paving the way to pow
erty and from thence to crime.
The shoemakers in this State who
are trying to make an honest lily
ing, find the road to good circum-
stances barred by the convict made
boots and shoes which are sold on
every side Of him.
The boot and shoe department Of
the State Prison has been run at q
loss to the State, and thousands OF
dollars worth of boots and shoes
which have gone out of the State
Prison have never been paid for
and never will be.
Under this state Of affairs a
shoemaker cannot afford an appren-
tice or helper, and for this reason,
idle boys roam the streets Of the
towns of Nevada, who otherwise
might be earning a living, and in
time many Of these idle boys will
become criminals, and if they ever
learn the shoe trade at all it will be
inside the walls of the Penitentiary.
Will advocates of convict labor
hold that with such expenses
the State has saved any money, or
the taxpayers have saved any?
The new Public Building which
is shortly to be erected in this city
ought to be built with honest Ia
Dor. No cenvict's hand should
ever be allowed to touch single
stone or piece Of timber.
There are enough free mechanics,
workmen and stone cutters in this
city to do the work Independent of
the Penitentiary. If prisoners
must be put at hard labor let them
continue the archaeological re-
searches in the interests Of science,
and 60 on uncovering the foot
prints of the mastodon, cave bear
and saber-tooth tiger.
There is growing feeling against
convict labor in this State, and
every delegation that goes to the
Legislature from both parties
should be pledged to its abolition.

HAINES CORRECTED.

Ex-senator Haines, of Genoa, is
conspicuous in opposing the anti
Chinese movement. Mr.. Haines
has the North American right to
do this. but he had better keep
posted and stick to the facts The
Courier, speaking of Haines, says:
He spoke disparagingly Of the
movement in Truckee. He did
not believe in mob law. He said
G.. F. McGlashen was the leader In
the movement there, and McGlash-
en- had nothing outside of a little
business as a pettifogger lawyer,
and he did not believe he had ever
paid dollars worth of taxes; still
he was the recognized leader of the
movement"
There was no mob law in Truckee,
Haines included, can thank the
same c. F, McGlashen that there
was not.
The writer of this was in Truckee
the Saturday evening when they
had the big demonstration, and
some excited men proposed to clean
out Chinatown. Mr.. McGlashen
said that he would go into China
town with arms and fight for the
Chinese if any mob dare go down
there. He went down there at
once, put the Chinese under arms,
and told them to open fire if over
five men dared cross the bridge. He
then went back TO the mob and
told it what he had done, and
warned them that the Truckee
bridge would be strewn with them
if they attempted to harm a single
Chinaman. We advise ex-senator
Haines to come down to this city
next Saturday night and here c. +
McGlashen talk, and he will be
ready at any tine during the even
ing to discuss the issue with Mr..
Haines.

have at weaving time in all future
filters, few pigs that are larger than
the rest, as the teats that were sucked
at first will be better developed and
give larger few of milk than those
that were not. Some breeders CLAIM
that these uneven itters come as a
result of poor breeding. While we
admit that poor breeding will cause a
breeder to have a great many poor
pigs, we know that a little lack Of
care at the proper time, by way of
attention al birth, comfortable quar-
tiers, proper food, sufficient air and
exercise, etc., will cause an unequal
number. A breeder that looks well
after his brood sows and is very care
full ia the selection OF boar at coup
ling time, and then cares for the
young pigs at birth aud as they grow
and mature, will very rarely have a
poor pig. Strive to breed out any
little faults Or defects you may notice
in your herd and bring them nearer
to your standard Of excellence from
year to year, then your labor will be-
come source Of pleasure as well as of
profit.

FARM NOTES +.

Among Observation-Disclosures theIfrm-
ing of the seed-bed has become quite
the standard precept, and most farm
ers who take to talking Of wheat cult
ure mention this as an.important fac
tor, some even giving this az the final
object to be obtained by six or seven
tiHles narrowing before sowing. Firm
ing the soil takes prominence now
where formerly the desired attainment
was claimed to be breaking up of tie
soil particles, so that the roots could
get out of the contained plant fold, or
the mellowing of the soil deeply for
the admission of air, that its ammonia
might be caught up and nitric acid
formed, and other desired chemical
actions promoted. Even the powder
Ing of the silica of the plant has been
given as sufficient end for extra till
age.
A plowman says there are several
easy ways to prevent rusting of plows
and cultivators and to keep tie teeth
bright. One is to give them coat of
thick imewash as soon as they are
brought in from the field. Another
is to dissolve an ounce of rosin in 4
ounces OF iinseed oil, and while hot
nix with quart of kerosene and
stir we'll. This is laid on the smooth
iron with a paint brush. Another
way is to dissolve all ounce of cam
phor in some turpentine and add to
to this four ounces of puiverized black
lead or stove polish and mix we'll.
This may be rubbed on with rag. To
remove rust from tools Or plows moth
ing is better than a mixture Of half a
pint of oil Of vitroil poured slowly in
to a quart Of water, and apply this to
the rusted metal. Wash off with
water.
Linseed meal is laxative, while cot

Of the former in the feed of horses, if
given in small quantities, three times
a week, viii loosen the skin and
greatly assist the animal in condition.
A mixture of the two substances, If
given to nilch COWS, greatly increases
the flow Of milk and adds to its quail
ity. For mothers and breeding ewes
it should be tried in moderate quaint
ties, and always IN connection with
plenty of hay Or straw. Linseed
meal should be used rather as con-
d1tion powder than as part of the
food, but cotton seed meal may be
fed more literally to mich COWS and
growing stock.

of the Dairy BUSINESS.
Washington Star.


Few are aware OF the magnitude OF
the dairy business and the damage to
that business caused by the sale and
consumption of counterfeit butter.
Statistics show that the value of the
butter, cheese and milk product In this
coun .ry last year was r$500, 900, 900.
This is $3.50, OO0,0 more than the
entire oat crop Of the country $40,
100000 more than the pig iron prod
uct, $257, 000, 600 more than the iron
and steel product, $4,000, 600 more
than the cotton crop that used to be
called king, and $500, 100000 more
than the entire wheat crop of the
country. The amount invested in
mich COWS alone is over 800. 600, 900,
which is more than the capital stock of
all the banking institutions in the
United States.
But this is not question simply OF
dollars and cents, but of the greater
one of health, and the right of the
people to have what they. sup
pose they are getting, and what
they pay for. Statistics show that
$4,000, 600 pounds of bogus butter was
made in this country last year, over
100000 pounds of which was
shipped from the city of Chicago

HOW to Fatten Turkeys.
By w. Cliff.

Nothing pays better to be sent to
market in prime condition than the
turkey crop. Many farmers do not
understand this. Their turkeys grow
on limited range, get little or no
food at home during the summer, and
if fed at all with regularity it is only
two Or three week before killing. I
see these lean, bony carcasses in the
local market every winter and feel
sorry for the owners loss. They have
received small price for their birds
and still poorer price for the food
fed out. The average life of a turkey
is only seven months and the true
economy of feeding is to give the
chicks all they can digest from the
shell to the slaughter. If they get all
they can eat On the range that is we'll.
Usually this should be supplemented
by regular rations when they come
from the roost in the morniug and
two or three hours before they go to
roost at night. The food may be
slack la the morning SO that they
will go to the range with good appe-
tites, and fuller at night. They should
be put upon regular course of fat
tening food as early as the middle OF
October when you propose to kill the
best birds at Thanksgiving. The
younger and lighter birds should be
reserved for the Christmas and New
Years markets. They continue grow
ing quite rapidly until midwinter
and you will be well repaid for the
longer feeding.
There is nothing better for fatten-
ing than old corn, fed partly in the
kernel and partly in cooked meal
mashed up with boiled potatoes. Feed
three times a day, giving the warm
meal in the morning, and feeding In
troughs with plenty Of room so that
all the flocks may have a chance.
Northern corn has more oil in it than
southern and is worth more for tur-
key food. Use milk In fattening if
you keep dairy farm, Feed only as
much as they will eat up clean. Guilt
waite the acquaintance of your tur-
keys as you feed them. No more
charming sight greets your vision In
the whole circle of the year than
large flock of bronze turkeys coming
at call from their roosts on a frosty
November morning. New corn is
very apt to make the bowels loose and
this should be guarded against. There
is usually green corn enough in the
fields to meet their wants in the fall,
and cabbage and turnips need not be
added until winter sets in. If the
bowels get loose give them scalded
milk, which will generally correct the
evil. Well fattened and well dressed
turkeys will bring tive or three cents
a pound more than the lean bird. It

but for your manhood, to send moth

rs Old Beef fought
DroVer's Journal.

A correspondent says: ST wish
here to protest against the prevalent
idea that old meat is tough. Never
was there greater .fallaey. The age
of the animal has nothing to do with
it; and the fact is, the toughest and
most tasteless meat is that of two
year-old steer, kept fat from birth
and then shipped to market, where he
will arrive In a shrinking condition,
on the contrary, the most tender,
juicy, highest Favored meat is that
of an old animal, cow, or even a work
steer-no matter how oId-if fattened
rapidly and killed when in thriving
condition. All meat is more or less
tough when the animal is losing flesh
and the opposite-tender and iuicy-if
the animal is gaining rapidly: and, as
your (Chicago) meat'is killed when
the animal is losing flesh, you never
get any really good meat. The change
can be noticed in the meat before the
eye detects it in the animals condi-

Farm erS as Garden ers.
From Vick'S MapaZina-

The remark is often made that far
nlers are poor gardeners, and it is too
true in most cases. Farmers families,
as rule, are far more poorly supplied
with vegetables than city residents.
Not more than aquarter Of the farms
of this region show anything better IN
the way Of garden produce than a
little sweet corn and some bush beans
and q few tomato plants, and possibly
even these last are wanting. The
field crop is depended upon to supply
the potatoes that are wanted. and,
perhaps, some turnips will be raised
IN the fall, some years as d second
crop. What miserable showing is
this for'those who are situated so that
the choicest vegetables Of the garden,
the various kinds IN their season,
might appear in abundance on their
tables, provided the necessary care
and labor should be given to produce
them. But this picture is not over
drawn; it is, unfortunately, too true,
and it is not less true that If we inquire
about the family fruit supply for
country tables we shall find this quite
as deficient, Or even more SO. There
is no necessity for this condition of
things, and it is opposed both to the
physical and financial interest of these
families.
No part of the farm can make great
er returns for the labor and other ex-
penditures than the vegetable and
the fruit garden. If we inquire into
the cause Of their neglect we shall
find, IN many cases. that their inn
portance is measurably comprehend
ed, and the want of them is felt, but
the labor and attention they require
are somewhat different from that of
the farm crops, and, also, the garden
lnterferes to some extent with the
farm work when it is not properley
planned and managed, as for the
most part it might be. so as to cause
little or no inconvenience in the per-
Torrance of the regular work. And
for this purpose we now ask our coun-
try and village readers who are direct
ly interested to give the necessary
thought for the preparation of a good
garden at this season of comparative
rest. What shall the garden consist
of How and when shall it be pre-
pared? Who shall have the direct
supervision of it, These and other
questions can be considered and de-
cided upon, and when the time of ac-
ton comes there need be no delay.

Care of Brood SOws.

From the Swine Breeders Journal
AS we look to our brood soWs for
profit in swine-breeding, we must
look after their health and comfort,
especially during the latter part of
winter. and early spring. A brood
SOW should be provided with good,
clean and warm pens, not too small, as
she needs considerable exercise. She
should be fed s variety of food, espe-
clally avoiding corn as the principal
part. See that for week or more be-
fore narrowing time, she is not costive,
as this is the principal cause of so
many sows eating their pigs. We
should get acquainted with our brood
sows, and in cold weather be with
them at narrowing time. See that
your narrowing pen is sufficiently
warm to prevent young pigs from
chilling. A little assistance at this
time by the way of wiping the young
pigs with dry flannel cloths, and help
ing them TO nurse at once, and If the
weather is too cold, flannel cloth
may be gently held over them while
nursing, when after little the fan
mel can be left on them and they will
rest comfortably. A SOW that has no
fear of her master will pay no atten-
ton to him at this time. Many whole
iltters have been lost in cold weather
for the want of little care as describ-
ed. For instance, litter of pigs COM
ing IN cold weather without proper
care and attention, some will get to
nurse while others will become chill
led and restless and wander around
the pen making a continuous noise,
which excites the SOW, sometimes
causing her to get up and perhaps
tread on some which will increase the
excitement, and as result we have a
sad sight to look on. In result of what
might have been fine litter, we have
perhaps one or two shivering pigs.

either chilled or trannpled to death,
which is great damage to a young
SOW, as she should, if possible, raise
pig to each teat Ia order to develop
her bag evenly. A sow that raises a
full litter the first time will most in
varlably have an even lot of pigs at
weaving time, while one that raises
only three or four at first litter, will

FARM, HOME AND GARDEN.

SOUTHERN BIvoUAC.


Reused by clear-voiced trumpeter of dawn,
In joy seek the golden courts OF day;
The dusky cohorts of the night have gone
Far down their western way.
A winding forest path invites my feet,
Low winds are calling from the dewy aisles;
Before me lies the heron's dim retreat
maze of leafy miles.
Some power occult so moves me that cross
The sleeping garden where bananas lean,
And win, through hoary oak groves draped with
The woodlands wide demesne.
A hooking bird salutes me as 20,
An oriole greets me as press along;
feel in all my veins quickening glow
Companioned thus by song.
Through iRterlacing boughs of pine and palm,
catch brief glimpses or turquoise sky;
Below as softly as an evening psalm,
The river ripples by.
gain ere long the royal forests heart
And pause, where proud magnolias lift in
state
Their wealth of blossoms, whose pale petals
part
Sweetly inviolate.
Here, in the early legrendry days.
Besides these mighty, time-defyfng boles,
Gathered around their camp-fires rudy blaze
The swarthy Seminoles.
And through the trembling shadows round me
cast
My startled fancy pictures, even now,
a stealthy chieftain gliding slyly past,
With bow of stought ash Dough.
Recalling memories of persisted time,
While thus / stray through changing glow and
gloom,
did not heed how trumpet creepers climb
Or golden jasmines bloom;
But taking leave of present thoughts and things,
voyage on years that swiftly backward flow
And dwell with those who reigned as forest
kings
Two centuries ago.
