A Famous indian, and Still More
Famous Indian Fighter.

We give below picture of KIT CAR
son, TIE famous scout and Indian
fighter, whose thrilling exploits sur
passed in interest and adventure those
of all other frontier heroes. KRIS
portrait shows that he was a very lion
in courage and stern determination.
and also a man of fine intellect He
was, in truth, the ideal American hero
of the wild Western border.

SWEET POTATOES.
How to Plant and Cultivate the Tender
Young Sprouts.

How to Plant and Cultivate the Tender
Young Sprouts.
The sweet potato can not be planted
out before what may be called good
corn weather, and as this will not occur
before June, the middle of April is time
enough to start the bed. Eighteen
inches of manure, or just enough to
give Il gentle bottom heat, is sufficient,
the sun under the glass doing most of
the work. After the bed is made and
heat started it is ready to plant Lay
over the manure six inches of sandy
soil; if all sand, just as well or better.
Halve the potatoes lengthwise and lay
fiat on the sand-they may nearly cover
the ground. Sprinkle over the top
just enough sand to barely cover the
potatoes. After the young sprouts
have started their roots into this sand
and the tops are about six inches high,
they are slipped off, and each shoot is
plant and really for the ground.
Only light, friable soil will grow
them probably. This is thrown up
by the plow into ridges four feet apart.
The plants are dibbled out on these
ridges one foot apart-the cut worm
often destroys quantitiessof the sets,
and must be watched for, destroyed
when found, and other sets put out
where needed At least couple of
crops of sprouts can be taken from one
set of tubers, and any time in June
will do to plant them, SO there is no
danger of not having plenty of plants.
1t takes from 5000 to 10000 sets per
acre. Stable manure is the best. st.

Panther and Locomotive.

A singular tragedy lately occurred in
Algeria, on the line of the railway be-
tween Bona und Constantine. At a
wild spot where the track passes
through the gorge of Nador q female
panther had installed herself with her
young ones right upon the track. The
train came up too swiftly to come to a
stop, but the panther might easily have
leaped from the track. She did not,
however propose to do any thing of the
sort She was playing with her young
ones at the time, and did not mean. to
have her sport disturbed, at least with
out protest. She sprang upon the
swiftly approaching locomotive with all
her force. The blow was instast death
to her. Her head and forelegs were were
cut off and her lifeless body thrown to
the side of the track. The young pan
theirs, who, less prcsumptuous than
their mother, had managed to get off
the track in time, ran up and down the
line after the train came to standstill.

How to Ell the Silo.

When the whole work is slapped right into the silo. all the work of husking, carting to mill, grinding, carting back to the farm and feeding out the meal is avoided, and it is not any more work to put up the ensilage in this way than it i- where only the stalks alone are onsiagod. Of course onsilagc made from field corn, with the cars on, will have d much higher feed ing value than if the grain were separated, If the crop is put in the silo before the kernels and cobs be- come har,, they will be softened up so that every bit will be eaten, especially if cut into half-iuch lruGths, more or less. Isn't this the haudiest way of utilizing the corn crop all things con- sidered? Nor do we sec why as good results should not be obtained as by he old plan of separating the ears and feeding the grain in the form of clear corn-meal OF cob-meal Western farm CTS who have practiced this method think they get fully as good results us where the dry meal i, fed separately, especially on fattcnng cattle Our readers who have had experience in this particular are invited to state at once and briefly the advantages and disadvantages of this system. --hdrm dRd Home.

 A horse that would balk and kick by simply binding him with cloth for half an hour. At quite long inter- vals this would have to be repeated. have very unruly fellow now that l can only keep inside an ordinary fence by fastening a hood over his eyes when turned out to pasture. l think almost any baking horse could be made to pull by simply covering his eyes for 2 short time.
 2. It may not be known to all that hogs. even sows with pigs, do very we'll on good pasture all summer long. Toward fall in an orchard when apples begin to drop they will do exceedingly well with no other food
 8. Many farmers cure hay entirely too much, thereby damaging il consid- erably. If moved away with discre- ton (any unusually damp loads put by themselves), it can be safely stored with half the curing often given.
 f. When you see the deep green leaves of fruit tree taking on lighter shade, look at once for grubs at the base of the trunk. By probing with a steel wire that will spring every way and will not stay bent, you can soon rout these dcstroyers,
 5. Probably not half of the farmers give lime in any form to their fowls. Of course the hens manage to lay tol erably without the direct supply of lime, but the egg-shells are often very thin and eggs much fewer than though the birds had full supply of oyster or clam shells, which they eat greedily. showing very plainly their necessity for the fowls to do their best.-,S.

 - Pecan, walnut. chestnut, butternut and hic!sorynul are the most desirable nut trees for planting. The hickory, difficult to transplant, but with care any of these can be transplanted at two years old.
 Land plaster is slightly soluble in water, and therefore gives immediate results on the crops that feed largely or lime, such i.s clover, beans, psas, and other lcgumes About 100 pounds of plaster per acre on young clover is sufficient. and if used in connection with wood ashes. it is one of the cheap est fertilizers known for grass crops.
 Buckwheat is the old fashioned farmers crop, and does not take kind ly to improved harvesting machinery. The self-bindcrs shell out too much grain to be profitable Probably the best way to cut bucIwheat is with the scythc. binding it by merely twisting a wisp of it's own straw about the head, as the bundle is sat squa"ely on its butt.
 Economy with the corn crop means | that the fodder should be stored under cover. and not left standing in the fields, as is often practiced. Good fodder is valuable and highly relished by all classes of stock. but it can be in- jured by exposure as easily as hay. No matter how much care is taken the shocks will blow over in winter, by which means large share of fodder is ruined by being on the ground If cat tie are turned in on it they will trample portion also. The barn is the proper place for it.
 Bad poultry management shows itself in making poultry-houses un- suited to the wants of the fowls; it shows in the buying of poor stock to save few paltry dollars; it shows in l keeping old stock beyond their use 1 fitness; it shows ill not raising early bullets to take the place of old hens; it shows in not selling off the surplus stock at the proper season; it shows in not culling out all faulty birds; it shows in improper mating of the breeding fowls, and it shows in not providing suitable food, etc, for the wants of this poultry stock
 Farmers don't begin feeding hogs so early as they should as a rule, says a correspondent of the Indiana Farmer. l The fall months are the best part of tho year to feed in The corn is in the best condition. More pounds of meat to the bushel, with less labor, can be made in the fall better than at any other season. The farmer does not get the very best of pork who puts of feeding until corn natures and then feeds on all dry corn diet. Green food should be provided as late in the season as possible. A late planting of ever- green corn comes in and lasts up till cold weather sets in. For later green food resort must be had to roots.

HARRlSON'S WORDS.

For many weeks back the Indian apolis Journal, John C. News pa per, has kept standing reward of g. ,00O for proof that Gen. Harrison ever said that Sl per day was enough for workingmen, and were he the governor of Indiana he would shoot down the strikers or force them back to work.'' The Journal evidently thought that the memory of man did
 not run back eleven years but 1t was mistaken. Edwin F. Gould, district
 recording secretary of district assem- blv l66. k. of L.. has made, in the name of that assembly. Il claim for S2 900. In support ot his demand he makes public extracts from the sworn testimony of more than score of witnesses. These are few spec imens of the laboring men, and there are more of the same purport.
 Thos. MclIugh testified that Ben Harrison theatened the strikers with the maitia to force the men back at the point of the bayonet; that the
 wages were sufficient. and all the railroad company could afford.
Nevada County picayune., 1888-10-31

Mir. Gould then goes on to state that he does not publish all the names nor all the testimony on account of the position it would place the wit nesses in with their employers. lie then goes on to say: This board de- sires the S2.OOO reward offered by your paper for the purpose of defray- ing the expenses of the street car drivers strike, conducted under the auspices of this board in 1877, and, furthermore, this board charges Ben iamin Harrison with having taken up arms against the strikers, and threat ening them with instant death at the point of the bayonet if they did not return to work that he gave a re- ceipt for s20 for four days wages, which is now on file in the adjutant- generals office that he received for five days service as attorney for one of the railroads S1 .000, and his sworn affidavit appears in the federal court room to the effect that his services for that period are worth SlOOO while he claims that q per day or g. for five days is enough for q working man; that he acted in the capacity of the prosecutor of the strikers, for which he received an additional fee ; that he prosecuted one man who was not in the city and knew nothing of the strike. and MT. Harrison was obliged to manufacture evidence up on which to crimlnate him,

Sites for Farm Buildings.

If you are in need of any new build ing on the farm, beiore selecting the sites for them first think well over the object to be attained A new ice e-house should be located in the shade of a tree. if possible. and in northern ex- posture, while the new cow-house or house should have just the opposite position Especially should the hen house be located oA a southern expos ure while tine cow-shed should be placed on the south side of the barn to save all the heat that can possibly be gotten out of the sun in winter. These are things to always consider in locat- ing houses on the farm, giving prefer ence to the most important, but neg lecting none. -iacrtcm DdrgmaH.
 lt has been a great mystery to many persons why the dark rich-colored wood so much uaed for furniture should be called rose wood" Its deep tinted, ,ruddy-strealiod surface certainly does not resemble the rose, so we must seek some other reason for the name. Here it is: When the tree is first cut, the fresh wood exhales a very strong, rose-like fragrance which soon passes away, leaving no trace of the peculiar odor. There are several varieties of rosewood trees the best. however. are those found in South America and the East Indies, and aeighboripG islands. -St. Nicholas.
