The Honest Conductors Reward
From the Buffalo Express.

A new York Central conductor found
$500 on his train. Learning of its owner,
he wired him to be on hand on the re-
turn trip and get the money. Alter the
amount was handed over and found to
be intact, the loser took half dollar
from lis pocket and held 1t out to the
veteran of the punch. Without hesita-
ton the latter held up his hand-to the
engineer-and shouting Cali aboard
Sorry [ haven't any change for that, %
stepped aboard the train, leaving the
half dollar in the hand that had ten
dered such northumberland for the re-
turn of $500.

The Richest Manure.

One of the points in favor of feeding
linseed meal is that it makes d richer
manure than any of the grains. This
and cotton-seed meal make excellent
manure, and thus repay the farmer a
large part of the expense of feeding.
Of the other grains wheat and oats make
richer manure than corn. Beans make
excellent manure but can be fed only to
sheen.

or two before calving. His COWS ALWAYS
do we'll, drop their calves without diff
Guilty, and he regards this feed as one of
the causes of their easy parturition. The
corn is not enough in amount, or con-
tinued long enough to fatten, and prob
ably its beneficial effect is due to it's in
fuence in keeping the bowels open.
Corn is a laxative food, especially if fed
in the ear, and where roots cannot be
had, it may in such cases be substituted
for them.

Feed for Breeding Sows.

Breeding soWs should have no corn.
It does not furnish the bone material
for the pigs the SOW is carrying, and
therefore. only serves to make her too

ter from the house, given warm with
bran, will be the best feed both for the
SOW and for the pigs she is to farrow in

Early RIMS of Suyar.

Often during the January thaw sap
will run from the maple, and this early
make of syrup and sugar always brings
the highest price. 1t comes at time
when the buckwheat pancake has not
lost its freshness, and the two make a
combination that an epicure might envy,
but could scarcely hope to rival. How
may be, those from the maple will never
cease to be in demand.

Regularity in Feeding.

In short days and cold weather too
many farmers neglect the regular times
for teeding stock, and greatly to their
injury. When animals become accus-
toned to eating at regular hours they
are quiet between times, digesting their
food better, and having less temptation
to surfeit themselves by overeating
when their fast is broken.

Whole Grain for Fowls.

The digestion of owls is strong, es-
pecially if they have an out-of-door run
where they can get gravel or sand with
which to grind their food. Sometimes
screenings containing weed seed are
ground SO that they may not pass into
the manure heap. There is little dan
ger Of this if poultry eats them, though
if the fowl are fed as they should be,
they will refuse to eat many kinds of
weed seed. It does not pay to try to
force hens to eat what is distasteful.
Whole grain will give enough more eggs
to pay for it's extra cost.

Corn for Breeding Cows.

Most authorities say, and truly, that
grain, and especially corn meal, should
not be fed to C, VS. with calf. It is too
fsttening, and increases the danger from
milk fever or other diseases at tarrow-
ing time. But an old farmer tells us
that he has always practiced giving a
few ears of corn daily to COWS for week
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1888-02-08


It is true that cabbages are about as
good feed as COWS can have to make but
ter on, but it is also true that they must
be most carefully fed or the butter will
be ruined in flavor. Sound cabbages fed
at milking-time, either night or morning,
or both, will ordinarily give little flavor,
but an unsound leaf or head, or sound
ones fed at noon will surely give a bad
faint. The same is true OF turnips to a
certain degree, really to greater degree
in this way. The flavor of turnips is
stronger than that of cabbages, hence,
even fed at milking time only, and when
perfectly sound and sweet, the flavor
will not get out of the milk before the
next milking. and if any Of the turnips
are partly decayed the faint is fearful.
The volatile oil which gives to turnips
and cabbages their peculiar flavor, when
eaten, is evaporated or transpired
through the pores of the skin and
through the lungs.
The rapidity with which these volatile
oils pervade the system and are thrown
OF from 1T are surprising. Turpentine
applied TO any part Of the body will be
tasted In the mouth, and perceived by
another person in the breath. One per-
son, after eating onions, will have an of
fensive breath for two days, while an
other will throw it all off within eight or
ten hours. l believe the same, or rather
similar, differences may be observed in
cows. Some COWS may even eat turnips
twice day with very little effect on the
milk; and such could scarcely eat cab
bages, while with others a meal of even
the latter would be fatal to the high
quality Of the butter. Butter makers,
therefore. who feed either articles OF
food to mich COWS must know what
they are about The safest plan is not
to feed them. Nevertheless, I feed cab
bages, and don't think the butter is of
flavor, elther.-[M. c. w. in Practical

Pistol Carrying.

Under the above head the Nash
vile American of April 3, strikes
the keynote exactly as to it's pre-
vention. After commenting on
the instruction of the Judge, sit
ting in the Hamilton-Gambrell
murder trial, of Jackson, Miss, to
the sheriff to let no one come into
the Court House without search
ing him for arms, and speaking of
the homocides in Davidson cOun-
ty as the result Of carrying pistols,
says:
The civilization of the State, the
protection of the lives of those
who obey the law from the coward.
ly and deadly use of the pistol by
the lawless assassin who usually
shoots an unarmed man, demands
that pistol carrying in Tennessee
shall be stopped. And how can
it be dones Simply by the people
sending to the Legislature a few
men who have sense enough to
frame a bill and then sufficient
self.respect and fidelity to duty
not to be controlled by false sym.
patty nor bad advice.
That a law can be passed that
will effectually prevent carrying
pistols, there is no more doubt than
that civil governments better than
a military despOtism. Does any
one ask what the remedy is? Simp-
ly fix the penalty for carrying a
pistol at Imprisonment in the pen.
itentiary at not less than three
years, and then drawing pistol
at Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for double that time-that is,
not less than six years.
Give the judges and juries no
discretion so far as this limit is
concerned, and then cut off the
Attorney Generals right to CON-
promise or enter a nolle, with a
view of avoiding punishment.
This will stop it instantly, and
put the peaceful law-abiding man
on an equal footing in a personal
rencounter with a law-breaker
and murderer.

Owing to excessive cold and

cludes the possibility of me an
swering them all satisfactorily by

where all the lands for sale are
located or who owns them, and in
order that all those who have
lands for sale and who wish to
bring them t o the attention of
northern and western immigrants
who are seeking homes in this
state, have determined to issue
a bulletin descriptive of such prop
erty, lin accordance with Sec. 4.
of the law creating this Depart
ment), which | will send out to all
enquirers and distribute gener-
ally throughout the North and
West.
The section of the law referred
to says: "IIe, the commissioner,
shall keep in his own and assistant
commissioners Office, a record of
lands for sale, lease or colonial
ton, agricultural, mechanical Or
other requirements for labor, for
which said commissioner shall be
allowed a fee of two dollars for
making each entry, to be paid by
the owner of the land Offerd for
sale, &C."
l desire to say to the citizens
of your county, that l will pub
fish about the LIST of May a land
bulletin for general distribution
and all those who have lands for
sale and desire to advertise them
in this way, can have them enter
ed in this bulletin by sending a
description of the same, accom-
panied by two dollars to this
Office.
All notices o f lands for sale
should be sent in by the Goth of
April. b. NJ. HoRD,
