The Kentucky State Defalcation.

The Kentucky State Defalcation.
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 2l.-Up to 10
O'Clock this morning there have been
no startling developments concerning
the defalcation in the state treasurer's
office. Conservative reports from the
state capitol place the amount of the
defect between $l25,0O0 and $4,000,
the former being the amount stated
by State Auditor Hewitt. However,
mere sensational dispatches place the
sum far above these figures, one placing
1t at $l97 900, and the crediting expert,
Ssmuels, with the department, says that
1t will probably reach half q million Of
dollars. Beyond the fact that Tate left
Louisville Friday night for Cincinnati,
nothing Is known of his whereabouts.
1t is believed he fled from that city to
Buffalo, and then to Canada. His friends
think that when his papers are over
hauled q statement from him will be
found.

want you to understand that Brownsville
is In Cameron county and on the east
bank OF the Rio Bravo, and We are about
six thousand souls strong. Matamoras
is just across the river, and about as
strong In population IS We are, but
times are not as they were in what Is
called cotton times, but every body 10

All we need to make this one OF the

railroad we must have. Not q week

from your city here buying stock. As
for farming lands, we can't be beat, I
defy the lands of the famous BRACES or
Colorado bottoms to beat them. We
can raise two crops Of corn, beans or
potatoes q year; cotton grows finely.
Garden truck groves abundantly. We
have Irish potatoes, lettuce, radishes,
carrots, beets, peas, celery and other
good things on our table every day for
dinner.
What we want more than anything
else, is immigrants. Good working men;
men that are willing to put their hands
to the plow handles aud stick to it; men
that don't want to 60 to town and spout
politics and look cunning. We have got
a surplus Of this kind Of stock on band
now.
We have got four political clubs: The
Blues, The Gruelle's, The Reds and
The CaZadore's. The two former clubs
are the democratic factions. The political
pot Is beginning to boil. About August
1t will be boiling over, and In November
somebody will be badly scalded. don't

Shocking Accident.

So read the headlines of many newspaper
column, and we peruse with palpitating inter
deeply impressed by the sacrifice of human
lives involved. Yet thousands of men and
women are falling victims every year to that
terrible disease, mption-scrofula of the
lungs-and they and their friends are satisfied
to believe the maady ipcurable. Now, there
could be no greater mistake. No earthly DOW
er, of course, can restore a lung that is entire
wasted, but Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery will rapidly and surely arrest the raw
ages of consumption, if taken in time. Do
not, therefore despair, until you have tried
this wonderful remedy.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.


A correspondent who is anxious to know
how to improve his orchard is answered as
follows by the american Cultiuator: The
orchard in question, as stated by our cores
pondent, is somewhet run down in Utility
and he wises to know the best manural
elements to use in reyiving it. He believes
with proper treatment that, although now
only fairly productive, it can be made
doubly so without injury to trees.
Our correspondent fails to state whether
the orchard in question is an apple, peach
or pear orchard, or wether the trees are far
enough apart to cultivate between the rows.
If an apple orchard, and the trees are
large, 1t will not be best to run plough
very near them; but If the trees are from
two to three rods apart, strip may be
ploughed between each row and planted to
some hoed crop, which should be heavily
dressed with compost, made largely of good
stable manure.
The space Immediately around the trees
not touched by the plough should be liber-
ally top dressed with well rotted manure
and unleached wood ashes. There is pro-
badly nothing better for orchards of any
Kind OF Of fruit than hard wood ashes.
They should be spread broadcast beneath
the trees over space extending several
feet from the trunk of the tree, instead of
placing them directly around the base, as is
sometimes done. 1t is not desirable or con-
venient to cultivate and portion Of the
orchard it can be renovated by liberal top
dressing of well rotted stable manure. A
mulch of resuse hay placed around the
bodies of tie trees will be found beneficial,
provided they are so large and the bark 50
thick that mice will not girde them. Pas
turing orchards with hogs is an excellent
method of improving their fertility. There
is another advantage in pasturing with
hogs, as in addition to enrlching the soil
they pick up the windfalls and destroy the
worms, which cause great loss of fruit
every year.

Poultry Notes.

For lice, dust Persian insect powder
freely in every crack and crevice, ard on
the bodies of the hens, in among The
feathers.
For digestion give the birds plenty OF
sharp gravel. and also a teaspoonful OF
fenugreek, In the soft food, for every ten
hens.
About one-third the weight OF an egg
is solid nutriment. This is more than can
be said of meat. There are no bones and
tough places that have TO be laid aside.
Turn eggs twice a week if they are to
be kept for future use. Eggs for Matching
will keep two or three weeks il turned hall
over daily. They should be In place OF
moderate temperature, where they will not
freeze or be too warm.
Those who live on land where there Is
no gravel or sand should haul load and
spread it about the poultry yards. The
fowls will enjoy it as much as though 1t
was something good to eat, and In most
cases il will do them more good Don't
forget this, as the chickens can't talk and
don't know how to ask for what they may
want.
do not place one roost higher than the
other. When so arranged the hens will all
crowd to the highest, leaving the lowest
ones unoccupied. The better plan Is TO
place them all on lsvsl Of the same
height and very low. If too high the
heavy fowls will be injured in getting on
or of, as many cases of "bumble foot" at
test. There Is no necessity for having the
roost higher than simply to allow a space
under them for the free circulation OF air,
which is most essential to the well doing of
the 1oek
