Interstate Commerce.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-In the inter
state commerce investigation, George C.
sGault, general manager of the Queen
and Crescent system, explained briefly
what hed been done by his company to
make its tariffs conform with the inter
state commerce law. 1t complied strictly
with the law except where water compe-
tition compelled them to charge more
for short than for long hauls. He
thought country merchants everywhere
along their system were we'll satisfied
with The operations of the Law. Strict
compliance with the law had not, he
said, injured the revenues of the road.
IL had but n regular classification and
nine-tenths of the business of the road
was done under that classification. All
the railroads in the United States, he
thought, could well afford to use d uni
form classification for merchandise, but
there must necessarily be numerous
notifications to meet special cases in
localities.
j. w. Thomas, president and general
manager of the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis road said the local rates on
that road had been lowered considerably
In July, 1887, after the law went in OPP
GRAFTON, but since that~date there had
been no changes made. The rates on
local or state traffic conformed STRICTLY
to the long and short haul clauses of the
law, but on through traffic they did not.
These through rates on south and west
bound freight were fixed by the South.
ern Steamship and Railway association,
and his road accepted them just az they
were fixed by the association.

Ohio Election POrgerieS.
ALLEN MYERS ON THE STAND IN
HIS OWN DEFENSE.
MAKES GENERAL DENIAL,
He Relates His Experience on that E.teful
sunday Night--A Great Portion of
the Alleged Tally-sheet Crime
Gone Over.

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 20.-Iu the trial
at London of Hon. Allen o. Myers, late
editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, for
completely in the Columbus tally-sheet
forgeries of 1895, Mr.. Myers, the de-
PENDANT, was put upon the stand and
took up his story with the greatest cool
ness. One scene durfngsthis part of the
examination made Il deep impression on
all. Mr.. Powell asked him about his
family, and at the mention of his chill
dren defendant nearly broke down.
From this on the defendant told his ac-
tions during the days of the week fol-
lowing the election day of 1885. He
worked on his lecture when he found he
was defeated, and on Sunday night he
delivered his address at the Grand opera
house. His visit to Calendars saloon,
to II. j. Booths office, his hack ride
with Cogan, his visit to Crouch's saloon,
his drive home, and his subsequent ex-
cursion for the purpose of giving his
pursuers the slip, were then dilated upon
in sequence. He inpatiently denied
having been at the court house on Satur.
day evening, or on High lear Rich, at 2
O'Clock on Sunday night. Regarding
Doyle's testimony, that he had heard de-
PENDANT say John r. Mclean would be
0io hCAp ohAbCa SoatSS cSlltbOlr Shl. 1uy
ers said: 81 never made thet declara-
tion to any living being.n
The noon recess was then taken.
While the examination of the defendant
was in progress a celebrated individual
arrived under escort Of two Hamilton
county officials. This was DIR. Thomas
Melancthon Sinclair, or DOC Campbell,
of penitentiary fame. The defense sub
poned him. Campbell was placed in the
county Jail and is awaiting the summons
of court.
Mr.. Meyers continued his testimony,
relating his experience On that Sunday
night in the same manner as in the
former trial. The defendant denied hay
ing talked with either Montgomery or
Blackburn on that Sunday night. He
entered q general denial to all other
matters testified to by Douglas DOYLE;
also said he knew nothing about Edward
Young, or his movements. He said he
was decidedly III favor of Allen G. Thur
man for United States senator, and had
so expressed himself. Regarding his
allegiance to John r. Mclean, he made
the same statement as before. namely:
That Mr.. Mclean did not own him. Mr..
Myers said he did not know John Fran
els, the convict in the penitentiary, who
was on the witness stand Tuesday, until
he came into this court room, and of his
ACTIONS had not the remotest knowledge.
The witness also told his conversation
with Brietinger and Cogau regarding
their testimony before the grand Jury OF
January, 1886. During his examination,
the witness was exceedingly quiet and
cool, answering quickly and explaining
clear. In the eross-examination the Wit
ness began by tracing his whole copnec

stacked and preserved for winter use than
by the old method But the great point is
that the hard stalks are put in such condi-
ton as to make them available, almost en-
tirely, for stock food.
With this understanding of the import
ance of fodder corn, we reach the point
with which we begun this article, viz: the
Importance of setting aside now one acre,
or ten ACRES, as the needs of the farmer
may be, for the planting of fodder corn next
spring. 1t is best to make choice of this
plat now, that it may be properly MANFRED
before spring. Wisconsin experimenters,
and not few indeed in Minnesota, have
proved to their own satisfaction that the
best time, for many reasons, to get stable
manure upon the land where it is wanted,
is during the winter months.
The thing to do now is to decide to have
some fodder corn for use next fall, if the
grass and grain crops are again short, or for
winter if not needed before. The plat Sc
lected should be well manured-take that
for granted.

Mango in Horses.

A correspondent of the QueenSIander, of
Brisbane, Australia, writing from Mulgrove
river, says: In your last issue noticed two
letters on the above. l will now place be-
fore your readers the following cure which
have found successful: Wash the affected
part with soapy water, then apply powdered
bluestone diluted with water. Repeat three
or four times during the week; the scaly
skink will then come off in flakes, leaving
the part raw. To induce the hair to grow
apply a weak solution of carbolic and castor
oil. As Mr. Hobler says in his letter-avoid
working the horse. / know from expert
ence that dry weather will cure it; there
fore think that if the animal was stabbed
he would get well in shcrt time; but in

district have got it About the same num-
Der in this district are in similar condi-
ton. I have tried every remedy l could
possibly think of, but without avail, until |

How To Dehorn.

A Western farmer gives some practical
advice about dehorning cattle. The first
important move is to secure the animal
firmly, as the operator cannot saw eff a
horn with the head moving. To do this Sc
lect strong stanchion where there is a
good light ahead. Spike two pieces of
boards or planks twelve inches wide and
five or six inches long, to the back side of
the stanchion (the side the animal stands
ON, in horizontal position, one on either
side opposite the neck, allowing plenty of
room for the neck Leave the stanchion
free that opens. Put the bull or steer to be
dehorned in and close the stanchion as usual.
Now take half-inch rope twelve feet long,
with two-inch ring at one end, pass it
around his neck, double the rope, pass the
loop through the ring under the neck and
around the nose. Take up all slack, draw
the shoulders up to the stanchions, swing
the head around to one side firmly, the
straight end out Now, while one man
holds him there with another rope around
his horns, the ring rope is wound lightly
around the head and board till the head is
fast, taking care that the rope is not in the
way of the saw. Remove the rope from
the horns and, if necessary. further secure
him with it. Use small sharp carpenters
saw. From one-fourth to one-half an inch
of hair must come with the horn to get at
the bottom. A little experience will enable
an intellig mt man to find the right place
with his finger. When one horn is off turn
the head the other way and proceed as at
first. The beast will struggle some, of
course, but go ahead 1t is not necessary
to put anything on, as all bleeding will stop
in few minutes. Some wills not bleed
much, others will bleed considerable; never
mind that. We dehorn at any time except
in flYtlme.

About Fig Diseases.

From a correspondence in the London
Agricultural Gazette we extract the fol-
lowing: A way of getting disease among
pigs is breeding it; keeping them in filth
and not having the places properly cleaned
Any sty or building in which pigs are kept
should occasionally be scraped out clean,
whitewashed and allowed to lie empty awhile
to sweeten, and throwing some loose lime
about will help to sweeten it when it is oc-
cupied. Pigs are subject to many COM
plants They sometimes get a nasty cold
and husk through lying in damp place or
having bad litter. In this case they should
be shifted to a warm place, Uttered up well
and little sulphur given in the feed occa-
sionally. If the cough has a very tight
hold on them treat the pig generously and
Kill as soon as possible. 1t is a well-known
fact that many of the hogs that are killed
are unsound, either in liver or lungs. So
that if pig does very badly, some days
eating heartily and another day appearing
dull and with no appetite, the quicker that
the pig is dead the better. AS soon as it
has got any flesh on it should be killed, and
the cause will then be seen. The lungs are
sometimes very bad, this being frequently
SO in pig that has done well and appeared
to have no ailment. Cramp is another COM
plant that the pig is subject to. This is
caused through bad housing Where any
pigs are attacked with it they must be well
Uttered up and kept dry, and they should
have plenty of room to run about. Turn
ing them out in meadow will do them
good. If pig has got cramp very seri-
ously, if it has any flesh on it at all, the best
plan is to kill it, as it will be more trouble
to see after than it is worth The old adage,
Prevention is better than cure, holds good
in any of these cases.
