ohio's support of John sherman.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Ex- Congressman A. l..
Conger, of Akron. O.. who is in the city, said
yesterday: Sherman will have the Ohio dele
cation solid this year, and have it easily and
without contest. Blaine has always been very
strong in our State, very popular. and he has all
his old friends but at the State convention the
matter was thoroughly talked over, and the feel
ing, without exception is that Sherman should
have the delegation solid. There viii be
test for delegates in the dist rcts If there
Blaine would get some of the delegates, without
doubt, If he wanted them; but | have seen
indications of effort on his part in Ohio. At
the meeting of the national COMMITTEES the can
didates were talked of good deal, of course,
and Blaine's managers were on the ground and
dld work for him, but am pretty certain it Was
not by his instructions"

A SINGULAR CASE.
A Well Dressed Man Who Appears To Be in o
State Of Semi Mental Collapse.

=. SAN ANTONIO Tex, Jan. 13.--Tbere is q
mysterious case of mental af1ction at police
headquarters il this city, the victim being
k-nGscme, eentleman1y appearing man, be-
lieved to be from Chicago en- route to Caifor-
MIA. When the Southern Pacific train from
New Orleans reached this city, Monday, the
conductor pu: the man off at the station. He
had through ticket for San Francisco, and
telephoned the police that the man was sick it
was dangerous for him to travel further The
reported to Mayor Callaghan. who ad-
vised that the man be sent to the hospital,
which was dons. DR.. Braunagel decided that
the stranger was not In need OF med1-
cal attention, and he oneequently discharged
him from the hospital. He wandered into the
Central Hotel office, Tuesday afternoon, and
acted SO strangely that the clerk called on the
police to take him away, and accordingly officer
Brown conveyed him 70 headquarters, where he
now is. From papers on his person, it is learned
that his name is L. A. Furlong, of Illinois. He
is apparently about forty-fve years old, at least
black mustache, slightly tinged with gray, dark
brown eyes and high forehead He refuses to
talk to any one, though when certain questions
are propounded to him he will answer by nod
shake of the head. He insists on maintaining
a kneeing posture, as iftn the act of constantly
praying, and is occasionally heard TO mutter in
coherent sentences when he thinks one
hear him. He seems occasionally to be holding
an incoherent conversation with some Imaginary
person, and talks about New York and San
Francisco in senseless, rambling iareon. He
had but few dollars on his person when taken
to police headquarters. but he is splendidly
dressed, his linen being spotlessly clean. He is
either insane, and in that condition has wan
dered off from home, thereby furnishing another
case of mysterious disappearance of proni-
nent Citizen" or he was drueged and robbed
while the road between this city and New
Orleans. The police are inclined to believe that
the man has been robbed while in this unfortu-
nate condition. They are anxious to communi-
cate with his friends.

BAYARD, KANSAS.

Mr.. Editor:
You ask what Is the best mode Of
sowing timothy to be sure of good
stand. That is q hard question to
answer, as it depends on the necessary
rain to sustain 1t. have tried four OF
i've different plans, and have failed
with more than one.
The best plan I think is to SOW in
August or LIST Of September, In oats
or millet stubble without stirring the
ground. Sow t to ! bushel per acre
and brush or drag after sowing. and
turn cattle and horses on to the stub
bic. So they will tramp the land all
over, the more the better, the soldier
the ground is the better, and the grass
and stubble will protect 1t the next
winter. This IL what experience has
taught me with timothy.
Now az to clover which IL limited as
I have only sowed two seasons, Is to
put the ground IN good condition and
SOW on clean land in April or forepart
Of May If it is seasonable. I had good
luck the last two seasons as dry %
they were, while others that sowed
earlier failed.

CUTTING HEDGE.

Some parties want to know how I
lop hedge 90 that 1t will turn small
pigs. In the first place, do not cut
hedge that is less than from two to five
inches in diameter at the ground. I
trim the hedge up three or four feet
from the ground first; then cut the
tree nearly off just at the top of the
ground and on the opposite side from
the way am laying the hedge. Trim
the tree after it is down 30 that it will
lay close to the one previously cut and
close to the ground. A great many
times it will be necessary to cut the
tree 30 near of that nothing will be
left to connect the tree to the stump
but just little bark, but 1t will grow
II you do not take off too
much brush the hedge will turn any
kind Of stock.
Ifanybody does not understand this
or does not believe that hedge can be
made to turn small pigs, or any kind
Of stock, they can see q sample Of the
work on my place four miles northeast
of lola.

Of corn. uomely. Common Yellow"
Golden Beauty" Mammoth
White,'' '.Apeckled or Calico Corn"
aud "Linooln's early" Our entire
crop Of 60 acres made an average Of IS
bushels per acre.. Our entire crop was
plowed over 1 times. The "CommOn
Yellow, made . yield Of fifty bushels
per acre, but taking quality Of land
into consideration I think the "Lin-
coins Early" did the best. It was
planted on rather thin land and was
not good stand. The ears were not
extra large but almost invariably there
were two ears to the stalk. Its yield
was forty bushels.
I am not q particular friend to early
corn. I like the early part well enough
but don't like the tize. All early
corn that have ever been acquainted
with has been rather . small kind 0l
corn. If we could get an early corn
that has large ear 1t certainly would
be the best. We had not acreage
enough of the "Golden Beauty" ia
give 1t . fair trial. think It would
have made about forty bushels. The
mammoth White" averaged about
twenty EIGHT bushels. The "Calico'
corn twenty bushels. All Of these
varieties were planted on better land
than the "Lincoln's early" So taking
everything into consideration, think
the early did the best but Of m ordin-
airy good season I would rather risk
the common Yellow or the Mammoth
White for q crop.
