 CABBAGE Sour. Take any piece a.of beef, veal or mutton you can afford; put 1t into some cold water and lot if boil, removing the scum as it rises; have ready some onions or leeks. pars- ley, turnfps and a carrot cut in thin slices; let it simmer one hour, then add pepper and salt, boil quickly, make two, three or more according to fam ily--small currant dumplings the size of an egg and the heart of q very close, tiny cabbage thoroughly picked, washed and divided into quarters. Af- ter having removed the stalk, put the dumplings and cabbage into the soup; let it boil sharp for half an hour, when it will be ready to serve. Put your meat and dumplings on separate dish and your soup in tureen or deep pie dish; do not strain, but serve as it is. This is considered in some countries a rare, good dinner, but to delicate appe- tites and children it is, in my opinion, far too strong. Potatoes should be boiled separate and can be either mashed or served whole according to discretion.

A PrAetieal Idea.

The Galveston Daily News publishes an interview with Mr. c. NJ. Cady of Atlanta, formerly of Chicago, who pro poses for river and harbor improve meDts new scheme, which seems to possess good deal of merit. Tho idea is that in every case where the federal government is called upon to furnish the money for improving rivers or har- bors, tue city or state to be immediately henefitted should undertake to pay one half the cost of the proposed undertak- ing. For instance, if it would cost SS,- 100000 to secure deep water in the mar Dor of Galveston, the state of Texas and the city of Galveston should under take to supply one-half of tho sum. Thus the federal treasury would be called upon to help only those who are willing to help themselves; and, besides, there would be much greater care and watchfulness in the expenditure of the money with the people of the locality directly interested in it's economical and effective application. Mir. Cady's views are certainly worthy of thorough consideration.

Tried by Court and Afterward
 Lynehed by Mob.

James Howard, fiendish brute, was taken from the jail at Texarkana by a mob of masked men early Thursday morning and lynched. His ofiense was an inhuman one and so aggravated that these will probably be very little exer- tion put forward by the citizens of Texarkana to identify the men who lynched him. He was q man about 3s years of age and carpenter by trade. Several months ago he married l3- year-old girl in Cass county, Texas, whose name was Winchew. The couple had not been together long before

| Howard grew weary of his married life. which he manifested in various
 ways towards the little woman. He
 would beat her upon< every occasion upon the slightest pretext, his punish ment being so severe at times as to en- danger her life. His wife bore all his f Iill-treatment with remarkable patience until a few days ago he branded her with a red-hot iron which imprinted upon her flesh the letter "Hn and then she made known his brutality, and he was arrested last Wednesday a.id had q hearing before Justice Cannon. The evidence showed that he placed the brand in the fire and while 1t was being heated he stripped the girl of her cloth ing. He branded her on each hip and on the stomach, and then relocating the iron burnt the initial of his name on one of her breasts. After concluding this operation he tied her by the toes to the ceiling and gave her severe beat ing. When this testimony was given in court Howard asked for postpone ment of the hearing in the case until .ae following day to allow him to ob- tain rebutting evidence, which was granted. Howard was then placed in jail and the feeling against him in and around Texarkana was so intense that the sheriff increased the number of guards at the jail as precaution against mob violence. Towards morning, everything in the city being apparently quiet, the extra guards were with drawn, and no sooner had they disap- peared when an armed force took pos session of the jail and led the prisoner to railroad trestle near by, to which they hanged him with rope which had previously been prepared for that purpose. While dangling from the
 structure number of shots were fired into the body after which the mob dis persed. The body was cut down by tt,le authorities shortly after daylight and an inquest held over the remains dur ing the morning, verdict in accord ance with the facts being rendered.

The ssSas for 1887.
lFrom the Pittsburgh Times ]


 Signs are gathering fast that 1887 will be all that 1886 would have been had the delays and lossess by strikes not occurred, plus all the progres in confi- dence and in wealth gained since the strikes came to an end. In the east the close of the year will find smaller stocks on hand, and stifler prices in the cotton goods manufacturing centers than have been found at the same period before for 9 number of years. In the south there will he large investments in mineral lands, in manufactures oi different kinds and railway develop ments, In the west liberal crops and large immigration have inspired cour- age in all classes. A complaint from that region has not been heard for this long time. If industrial peace be as- sured, the coming year will be one re. membered for the comfort and compe- tence it brought to multitudes.

why HoIsteins Are Preferred.

Holsteins combine more desirable qualities for the dairyman, general farmer and stock-raiser, than any other breed. The first and most valuable qualification is the production of milk; for this purpose they have been bred, and acknowledged to excel all other breeds for centuries in their native country, Holland. Their yield of milk ranges from 10000 to 1s,000 pounds per year. They mature early, coming into milk when about two years old, hold out evenly nearly the whole year, in- stead of going dry six months, as is the case with ordinary cows. The milk is
The Russellville Democrat., 1886-12-22

not only abundant in quantity, but rich In quality They are very hardy, not requirInG rich food or oxtra care to ob- tain good results--hence are very de- sirab1e for the average farmer. They arc large. hardy, rapid growers, ma turing oarly, faftening rapidly, and making an excellent quality of beef hence are profitable cattle for the stock raiser, particularly as his heifers win bc even more available than his steers. Our heifers at one year often weigh 800 pounds; at twoyears 1200 pounds; and cows at maturity 1400 to TOO. Their milk records are the highest, ranging from 5000 to Il, coo pounds per year by heifers with their first calf, and 12,000 to 1S,000 by mature COWS. During the milking season it is difficult to keep Holstein cattle in high flesh, but when dry they take on flesh rapidly--hence are the most desirable, as being large and valuable for beef when done milk ing. They have been thoroughly tested
 in different parts of the United States, from Maine to California, and as far south as Texas, and everywhere proven successful. No other breed has ever made such rapid progress in the favor of the practical American farmer as the Holstein has dope in the past fifteen yearsi and at the present rate of increase In 9 years more they will outnumber any other improved breed in America. The quality of Holstein beef is of the finest kind. the fat better distributed through the lean than most any breed, and the butcher, who was at first opposed to the Holstein, will now give more far Holstein than any other

The value of Unde derdrainage.

The farmer who cultivates land which Is thoroughly underdrained, can break 1t week or ten days earlier in the spring; the soil is loose and friable; and he can plant fully ten days earlier, with a positive certainty that the seed, if good, will germinate; he can cultivate sooner, and with third less labor to both man and beast, can be stirring the soil in twenty-four hours alter heavy rainfall. The soil is warmer, and pro- notes the more rapid growth Of the crop, and is less liable "a damage from late frQsts in spring or early frosts in autumn, practically length. ming the season for growth and maturity fully thirty days, or if the weather should be dry, the roots, descending deep into the earth, bring up moisture from below, producing an abundant yield, which enables him to mature his plans with out liability to failure. The experience of the past seasons of extrema drputh in some localities has fully demonstrated the fact that drainage protects against damage from this cause,

Fence Posts,

The following Is said to be a good method for preparing fence posts, which can be made of any kind of timber. It is from the German Gazette of Forestry. It says:
 1.-The soaking of the posts with blue vitriol is found to be the best test yet obtained. The mode of procedure Is, indeed, very simple and easily executed. The posts must be new-that is, green; now dissolve, in kerosene oil barrel, which Is we'll adapted to this, four pounds of blue vitriol in 100 quarts of rain water; in this solution place the posts in as sunny and warm place as possible. As early as the next day you will observe how the splint is turning green, q sign that the yitral has impreg- mated tho wood oeilsl in a few days the vitriol rises to the top of the posts, which thus become hardened against rot and weather. The posts should not be pointed before such soaking; square end draws the fluid much better. This is very simple, well-tried, and proven remedy, which can safely be recom- mended to every farmer. Posts so satu- rated have stood fifteen years an the first point, whereas those not so pre- pared but otherwise under like cir cumstances. lasted but four years"

Horse Manure for the Orchard.

-
 Orchards and fruit gardens need fer. tilizers as much as any portion of the farm. yet these are usually the last places to receive any. The winter is q good time to manure an orchard, and a good kind to use Is that made in the horse stable. Usually this is allowed to accumulate around the stable doors until it is sometimes difficult to get a horse in or out, and is. besides, Q sloven- ly way..of doing. If, as soon as a load oi manure was made 1t was hauled into the orchard, things would be kept more tidy about the barn, and the orchard would be manured in the course of the winter with but little trouble. For spreading upon the surface no part of the farm is better adapted for coarse, strawy manure, than is the orchard when itis not cultivated, When spread upon blow land such manure does not turn under well, and on grass land it would interfere in moving. In the orchard, too, it serves other purposes than as food for the trees. When ap- piled in the winter after the ground is frozen, it will prevent the freezing and thawing of the ground and retard the pushing of the fruit buds in the spring, until danger of injury is past
 4 mulch in an orchard will keep the surface of the ground mellow and obvi- ate the need of blowing. Rains can not beat the surface down hard and form crust, and during the summer the moisture will be retained in the ground and the fruit will not suffer from drouth. Weeds will be kept down and thus allow the trees the full posses sion of the land and all of the plant food. This material, which is composed largely of the straw used as bedding, will gradually decay and furnish plant food for the trees.
 Few farmers realize how much of manurial value there Is In any material used as mulch, and even strawy stable manure is rated very low by most men. We have often heard them speak of such as hardly worth the trouble of hauling upon the land. But they for get that the straw has in 1t all the sub stances which would be needed to grow another crop of the same, and these substances are largely what other plants need. When, therefore, we put this or any vegetable substance upon land, we apply materials which are easily avail able again as plant food. In New Eng land ton of clover hay is estimated as being worth $9 per ton to spread on the ground as manure. Timothy is worth $7 and wheat straw s when used for this purpose simply. 4f this be true, and there is no question about 1t, we can see that the strawy horse manure will be of considerable value in an or chard after the straw has served the purpose of bedding. That and the dung and urine carried by it, make food for the trees, protect their roots in winter and summer, and do away with the need of blowing the orchard.
