FARM NOTES.

Dodge County, Neb., boasts Of a cornfield
that yielded eighty bushels to the acre.
An ignorant farmer is inexcusable in
these days. He may have had little oppor-
tunity for school life, but he has the ad-
vantage Of farmers clubs, institutes, agri-
cultural papers, and, if he will, may profit
by the combined experience of many 9th
ers.
II wheat OF. corn be sown or planted for
successive years the land will become ex-
hausted and often deserted aud the region
depOpulated. Experience has shown that
land annually demands q change of crops
to yield to tue farmer full reward for his H.
dustry. ..
Prepare the onion plat If the grou nd is
not frozen. Use plenty Of manure and
spread it evenly on the ground. The OBJ
lect is to have the rains wash the solubl
matter into the soil, and to save labor in
the spring, when it will then be only neces-
sary to break the ground, harrow it down
fine and put in the onion Sets
The small things on the farm should new

1t is desirable to have a clean soil with

am more than ever satisfied that the
word contraction" should be written on tho
gatepost OF every farmer; he should draw
in tEe fences, pillow deeper, manure heavier,
have barns and cribs near the house, stay
at home and keep pure-bred stock
and poultry. This reminds me of u neigh
Dor who tried the experiment OF keeping
up one pig to see what he could do. The

Farmers and gardeners should gather up
all the bones scattered about the yards and
prepare themffsr use in fer. ilizing their
lands. There are various ways Of doing
this. One is to mash them with an old axe
or sled.,e hammer, the finer the better, and
place the broken pieces into barrel or
other vessel, interspersed with layers Of
good hard wood unslacked ashes. Keep tho
mass moist, not allowing the i've or potash
to escape. In few months the bones will
become j.lly.
AS q rule, the composts should be pre-
pared a length Of time before using in pro-
portion to the roughness and coarseness Of
the materiale. Not less than six weeks will
be required under favorable circumstances

ing to be broken down by ferme ltatioa

BLAZING. BLOCKS.

Nearly a Million Dollars Worth OF Prop.
erty Goes Out OF kxisteoce NJ indiana
apOiis.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. A.-Fire broke
out last night at eleven o'clock at South
Meridian and Maryland streets in the
wholesale district in the cellar in the rear
of D. P. Erwin &, Co.'S dry goods house
Other alarms brought more engines ano
hose companies, but their efforts were with,
out avail and the flames spread rapidly.
To the north of Erwin's was located
the wholesale grocery house Of George ".
Stout & Co., and by twelve o'clock both
buildings. handsome four-story structures,
stocked with valuable merchandise, were
destroyed. On the south a new four-story
building, belonging to Parsons q WetzeH,
just completed but not yet occupied, was
consumed. The extensive dry goods house
of Bryan, Cornelius Il Co., north OF Stout
& Co.'S, was in great danger for time.
The intense heat from the burning build
ings on the east side Of the street, in spite
OF the efforts Of the firemen, started a
blaze in the cornices Of buildings on the
west side, and the firms Of Tanner q Sui
Ivan, timers supplies, G. B. Coners' Sons,
Mckee d Branham, boots and shoes, and
Pearson & Wetzell, queensware, were
burned out. The mig ht was clear and frosty,
with but little wind, and the broad
smooth street was lighted for blocks
by the flames and thousands Of people were
viewing the costly illumin alton. ct ! 30
a. m. the fire was apparently under con-
troll, though tho new union passenger sta
ton was in soma danger. All the irms
carried heavy stocks, and estimates Of tho
loss vary from $50, 600 to s., 100000.

STOCK ITEMS.

1T has baen demonstrated that the quality
OF meat produced by sheep delivered to the
butcher at the age Of nine to fifteen months
costs exactly half the expense Of those fed
to double that age.
If anima Is be debilitated and should lose
appetite warm mess Of q mixture Of corn
meal and bran twice day will serve to in
ylgorate them The drinking water should
also be warmed for them.
Always select your horses for special
work required. The heavy draught ami
mails are the best for general farm pur-
poses. Trotters are intended for the road
more than for drawing heavy loads.
William Warfield, Of Kentucky, a noted
Short-horn breeder and writer, says that
he never tried any thing that compared
with sorghum as a flesh and milk produc-
ing food. The richness OF the milk Is very
marked and the cream very thick.
It is best to keep heifer as near as pos
sibls to her full productive power without
forcing, during the first year. Milk her il
possible up to within six or eight weeks Of
the time she is due to calve next as the
habit OF drying OF early once acquired can
not be changed.
Consider not the misfortunes which may
have befallen you during 1887, but press
onward with renewed energy to grasp the
favorable promises for 1883. Cattle-raisers
have had great deal to contend with the
past few years, but all branches of trade
have their ups and DOWNSTAIRS Stock L,ldi

1t Is claimed that when pigs show a great
desire Tor roofing they REQUIRE something
IN their stomachs that they are not getting.
One plan suggested for preventing roofing
is to place salt and wood ashes in cOnsidera-
bic quantity at certain places on the
ground SO that the earth will become sat
urated with the salt and I've. The hogs will
then root in thess spots and the sod Will be
left undisturbed.
The mistake of our Western horse-raisers
generally, is in allowing their colts to ma
ture without being handled. One days
work with sucking colt will familiarzs
it with ropes and handling more than a
weeks labor as q yearling or a two-year-
Old. Handle the colts ard then as year
lings and as twos, q little work will gentle
them and they will be no trouble when tho
time comes for service.-Eechange
Where the climate is cold five or six
mont hs in the year it is important that the
hog should reach the fattening point in
something less than year. Animals all
grow fastest when young, and not only
that, but they make much the most growth
for food consumed. Sows for breeding
may probably be kept three or four years
IL they should prove good mothers. But
all other hogs should be shielded from cold
by putting them in the barrel early.
Profit IN meat production means economy
in feeding. If We saould lose an ear Of
corn, either by having it trod under foot
and into the dirt, in consequence Of feeding
more than the hogs will eat, or if we should
vase 1t by overlooking the stomach, de-
stroying or impairlng digestion, and thus
preventing the system from utilizing what
is consumed, it would be so much off the
profit, and while one ear of corn may not
amount to much, good many ears will
to great deal.

Organization are too severe. He says tn at

property less able to meet its
obligations both to the Government
and the holders Of the bonds, and he thinks
the Government should abate it's claims
somewhat for time, 50 that the bond
holders may receive their interest, peudIng
the outcome Of proceedings against Messrs.
Gould and Sage. The proceedings, he says,
arc delayed by the fact that Mr.. Gould il
beyond the jurisdiction Of the cour Is, and,
in the absence ct extradi.,oa treaties, can
only be brought back for trial by executive
request through diplomatic channels, and
he informs the President that formal ap-

Tennyson, in his exquisite poem, dreams
Of long procession of lovely women Of
ages past This is all very well, but the
laureate would have done the world great
er service if he had only told the women Of

health and enhance their charms. This he
might easily have done by recommending
the use Of DIR. Pierce's Fsvorite Prescrip-
ton. Health is the best friend Of beauty,
and the innumerable ills to which women
are peculiarly subject, its worst enemies.
Long experience has proven that the health
of womankind and the ''Favorite Prescrip-
ton" walk hand in hand, and are insepara-
by druggists, under a positive gHarontee from
the manufacturers, that it will give salts

feebleness naturally follows. With physic-
al weakness also comes lack Of nerve. A
clear head and nrrye are essential requisites
to Wall street success; with the primary
organs out of gear, neither can be retained.
Derangement of the kidneys is common
result Of mental overwork. When they fail
to carry OFF the waste matter of the system,
uric acid, that deadly poison, accumulates,
and sneaks through all the blood channels.
The whole system becomes sort of cess
pool and every function is impaired Unless
help is found, the general breakup soon
follows.
Mr.. e. Evans, President of the Lumber
Exchange Bank, of Tonawanda, N. Y,
broke down in 1883, and ran down in weight
from 1S6 pounds to 126 pounds. He rallied
somewhat, but afterward became very low,
with terrible pain in the kidneys. Physi-
clans could not help him, but he finally pro-
cured Warmers safe cure, and he writes:
II was relieved of pain within twenty
minutes after had taken the first dose. I
began to improve rapidly, and am still i'm
