"a German correspondent at St. Pc
tersburg gives his opinion thus on the
probable movements Of Prince Moltke
against the Russian army in case Of q
continental war: The chief of the
Prussian staff would seize Russian Poland
according to the following tactics:
threatening wilma on his extreme left
and Kew on his right; at an unforeseen
moment he would force the attack vrcn
Brest Lilovski, and would shut up in
Warsaw all the Russian forces in Poland.
Meanwhile the Austro- Hungarian array,
already concentrated in Galicia and
Buckowina, having entered Lemberg,
would advance by the river Bug to at
tack Brest Lilovski on the south. ST.
multaneously, and still more rapidly,
would be advanced the torrents Of Ger
man troops from Konigsberg, Danzig and
Thorn, covering all northern Poland,
and crossing the now useless barriers OF
the Tistula and Bug. Thus the Russian
army corps would be completely sur
rounded in less than two weeks, and
driven towards Germany, where they
would meet fresh German troops, and
finally, far from their country and the
base OF their stores, would find them
selves either forced to surrender, or be
crushed and destroyed in detail at Ivan

Use for Peanut Vines.

Do you know if peanut vines can be
used proltably for hay? asks corre-
spondent. Personally we have had no
experience with them, but upon gen
eral principles they would commond
themselves for this purpose Mr. B.
W. Jones, of Virginia, peanut dis
trct, has said that if they are dug and
cnred before frost touches them, and
before the leaves fall 10 any great eX-
tent, peanut vines make a very good
provender for all stock Some say it
is better than blade fodder for horses
and mules, but we are not prepared
to advance this eXtravagant claim
for it. 1t is. however, certainly an cX-
celent article for fodder for cattle,
sheep, mules and horses, and if many
sap peanuts are left on the vines, stock
that is not worked much, will need no
other feed during the winter months
to keep them in good condition. H.
says that most planters, accordingly,
make it m object to try to have the
vines for hay, and aim to dig the
crop before they are injured by frost.
After Il killing frost touches them,
the vines are next to worthless as a
feed. In fact, fro5t-blliGn peanut vines
arc harmful, rather than beneficial,
TO stock, often causing coIic'. and
cndangering the ljfo of valuable
horse or mule. Peanut vines, even
the best of them, unframed by frost,
should not b. fed very largely to
horses. There is always a good deal
Of grit and dust upon them. and much
of this taken into the stomach, can
not but be more or less harmful to the
ANIMALS.
Bat Mr. Jones aflirms that despite
these few drawbacks, peanut hay has
proved to be a valuable forage, and
one that the peanut planter could not
we'll dispense with, inasmuch as so
many do not make enough of other
forage to serve them and must, there
lore, depend on the peamul crop TO
help them out Thus the planter is
benefited in several ways through
this crop. H. gets valuable staple
to sell, and one that always comma IDS
the ready cash, he fat.cns his hogs on
The pods left in the ground and
he secures a large amount of very
good hay in the vines. Thus he is
doubly benefited, and no matter how
low the price cf peanuts may be- the
farmer does not, and can not, ordi-
narlly, lose much on the cultivation of
This great crop. If he does not risk

CRIME IN GERMANY.
Statistics Showing the Criminal Tenden-
cies of the TWO Sexes.

Statistics just issued by the German
Imperial Statistical Office regarding
the prevalence of crime durin" the
wear 1885, show that the number OF f.
male criminals was in that year four
or five times smaller than that Ot
males. During 1885, 2Sl, 1888 males
were convicted of miscellaneous in
fractions of the law, while the number
of females convicted was only 81 359.
II is noteworthy that there were con-
victions among unmarried males TO l
among unmarried females; among
married persons the proportion was
35to /, while widows and widowers
were convicted in equal proportion.
Among unmarried persons the GRIM
inal tendencies of the sexes became
more and moro cqualized with incrcas-
inc ace Thus. while among persons
of IS to 40 years, the male criminals
arc TO the female rs s TO l. among per-
sons of 40 to so years the proportion
falls to to l, and among persons
above so years cd it is 8 TO l.
The reverse is the case with mar
ricd persons, for the difference in
criminalitv is here least between the
ages of 1S and % years. From the
% h to the g., year the proportion is
4 to 1, and then crime increases 10 the
disadvantage of the males.
Considering female crime alone, it
is found that the most criminal age is
from 50 to 40 wears, and the neXt to it
is that from 40 % 80 Statistics for the
years 1882 to 1885 show that female

Sheep manure contains from nine
ty to ninety-Gve per cent of the plant
food contained in the ratiOnS con-
sumed by the sheep 1t is, therefore,
very rich fertilizer. as experience
has shown. 1t is especially rich in
nitrogen in an available form, and for
that reason is excellent for use as a
starter in the bill for corn and pOta-
toes.
The garden needs more manure.
This fact should always be kept in
Mid, and every bit of waste that is
likely TO have any value, mechanical
or otherwise, as manure, should be
added TO the heap. 1t is wonderful
what q lot Of manure may be got to-
