TEE SENATE,

WASHINGTON, D. c., January Ex-senator
Davis, from the committee on pensions, to-
day reported favorably the bill introduced
by Senator Henderson known as the Grand
Army billy to pension ex-soldiers and sailors
who are incapacited for manual labor and
provide pensions for dependent relatives of
deceased soldiers. The bill has the same
objects in view that were contemplated by
what was known as the dependent pension
bill vetoed by the president during the last
congress. 1t is believed, however, that the
new bill by the more explicit manner in
which its purpose is stated obviates the
principal objections raised in the presi-
diets veto. The bill has the unanimous en-
dorsement of the pension committee. SEN
ator Butler, in behalf of the minority of The
committee, on territories, to-day reported a
substitute for the bill reported by Senator
Plat for *he division of Dakota and the ad-
substitute reported by Senator Butler is in
the nature of an enabling act to allow the

kota as whole, and who was instruc ed to

OLD KENTUCKY STYLE.

State Aid Invoked to Suppress tho Mccoy
Hatfield Vendetta.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, January 28.-The
vendetta between the McCoys, of Pike coun-
ty, Kentucky, and the Hatfelds, of Logan
county, West Virginia, has grown to such
great proportions that it has been found ne
cessary for the officials of Logan county to
call upon Governor Wilson, of this state, for
aid to suppress the parties engaged in this
local warfare. The trouble originated just
after the close of the rebellion and has been
kept up at intervals ever since. It was be-
ieved at one time that peace had been de-
clared, but hostilities were renewed month
ago, since which time number Of persons
of each party have been killed and
there does not seem to be any pros
poets of peace. In order to protect the
good people of the county, and to stop this
feud two messengers reached here to-day
from Logan county to see Governor Wilson
and ask for aid to repel the invasion of the
Kentucky desperadoes into that county.

Green Food the Year Round.

There will be hundreds Of silos
built this year for saving green food
for stock. Ensilage has passed the
doubling period and now enters up
on assured success. Those who
still put it aside and refuse admit
lance to the new conner will find
themselves distanced by the most
enterprising. The National Stock
man has this to say on the general
subject:
The probationary period of the
ensilage movement has passed. In
view of the piled-up and piling-up
testimony of the thousands of prac
tical farmers who have thoroughly
tested it, there is no longer any use
in claiming on any theoretical
grounds that there is nothing in it.
There has been altogether too much
practical demonstration to leave
any ground so assumed at all tena-
BILE. Nor will it do to say that en-
silage is a failure because man
here and there has made failure OF
1t. In the light of current develop
ments there is no assumption in
saying that failure is unnecessary,
and that by starting right it can be
avoided. Those who have opposed
the innovation may as well concede
these points and fall in with the
procession. Indians Farmer.

Vitality of Seeds.

We are asked to state the period
for which the common garden seeds
retain their vitality. This informa.
ton may come handy to many
home gardeners who have a stock
of such seeds left over from previ-
Gus seasons. In the first place we
would say that a definite answer can
hardly be given in any case, as a
great deal depends on the way the
seeds were kept. But as stored in
paper bags and sacks, as they gen.
orally are, seeds will be reasonably
sure to terminate Tor the following
lumber of years, respectively:
Beats, from five to seven years !;
cabbages, caulifower, kale, etc.,
four years, carrot, two years; Gu
cumbers. ten years, and perhaps
more; egg plant, four or five years;
herbs, two years; lettuce, three
years; melons and squashes, ten
years and more; onion, from one to
two years, parsley, two years; pars.
nip, one year; peas, two years; pep
pers, two years; radishes, three
years, satisfy, two years, spinach.
two years; tomatoes, FIVE years, tur-
nips, four years.
All these seeds, however, should
be tested before they are planted
Sometimes onion seed will fail en-
tirely to terminate the second sea-
son. In some cases we have known
eighty per cent. of it to grow, when
two years old, and a small percent
age of 1t when three years old
Theoretically, all seeds from which
we expect fruit-such as melons
peppers, tomatoes, etc.-should give
us the best results when their vital
| ity is somewhat weakened by age
or otherwise; while it would bt
preferable to plant new seed of al
vegetables which we grow merely
for their foliage or root, like let
tuce, celery, cabbage, radishes, etc
Practically, however, we have no
been able to detect the least differ
ence between crops of the same va
rieties of cabbage grown from oil
and from new seed respectively; no
bet Seen plants of the same variet,
of melons, ETC., grown from seed 0
different ages. Hence we do no
care if the seed is new or old, s.
long as it terminates promptly
Farm and Garden.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1888-05-17

Until we learn to conduct our
government as a farmer manages
his farm, or shoemaker his shop,
or o storekeeper his store, we will
not get the best results out of gov
eminent. We have borrowed our
government ideas from foreign
countries and imagine that because
we have 800 third-class lawyers
bowling six months every year at
Washington that we are governing
ourselves grandly. Reforms aie
needed which will be felt in every
mans pocket. The hills are full of
good stone and the forests full of
good timber that could be used to
vastly improve the transportation
facilities. One hundred and thirty
thousand miles of railroad have in
creased the real estate value OF the
country ten times. City taxes are
imposed and justly, on the plea that
the resulting improvements en-
nance the value of city real estate.
So it does. A million or two of
good country roads in the United
States would vastly increase the
value of government trade.

Moving Southwark.

The tide of emigration is rapidly
setting from the north and west to
the south. People have grown tired
of. the billiards which cause such
great suffering, so many deaths and
such immense financial loss, aud
they are gradually awakening to the
fast that in the south there are adj
vantages scarcely dreamed of in
their own snow-coyered homes.
Farmers who can work only about
six months in the year, are learning
that in dozen southern states
their outdoor work can extend over
at least ten months; that live stock
needs but little shelter and food
dnring the winter as compared with
the north: that farming can be made
farmore profitable than in any 9th
er section OF our country, and that
everything needed to ensure a pros
porous and happy life is found in
the south. Manufacturers are be-
ginning to understand that the adj
vantages possessed by the south
for industrial enterprises of every
kind are not equaled elsewhere in
the world. Here the raw material is
found in unlimited supply and
whether the manufacturer is work
worker in iron, or wood OIL
cotton, he can secure these mater
ais at a lower cost than in the
north and west; the cost of manu-
featuring them is less, and all othel
advantages are on the Size of th'
south. The capitalist seeking prof
liable employment for his none,
finds in the south a rapidly deyel-
oping country, where the growth i
absolutely solid and permanent, ant
where money is in demand, yieldin:

banking, in manufactures, in rail

was young lady, nothing was pro-
