INDIANAPOLIS, December 2O.-General
Harrison's visitors to-day were not
nearly 30 numerous as yesterday. Quite
a number of western veterans who at
tended the Loyal Legion banquet re-
NAMED over to-day and were among the
callers. Ex-President Hayes, with his
son Rutherford B., drove out to General
Harrison's. When General Hayes
called with the members of the
Loyal Legion yesterday, General Harri-
son expressed desire to see him alone,
and an appointment was made for talk
this morning. 1t is supposed the main
purpose OF the conference was to obtain
from the ex-President some information
acquired in his experience as Chief
Magistrate. 1t is believed by some poll
ticians that General Hayes will be offered
q mission abroad by the new President.
During the conference the other day
with General Britain, Chairman of the
Inauguration Committee, it is learned
that the President-elect made the request
that the survivors of his old regiment,
the Seventieth Indiana, should constitute
his escort at Washington. Heretofore
Federal troops have been guard to the
President-elect on Inauguration day.

Pauper immigration are arranging pre-
liminaries for an investigation here to-
morrow. Congressman Ford said the
immigration laws were persistently vio-
lated. The Committee will recommend
the following remedies: That the work
of inspection be taken out of the hands
of the State and put under Federal con-
troll; that foreigners be examined on the
other side before they board ships either
by our consuls or inspectors appointed
for the purpose; that steamship COM
panies be furnished blanks on which
shall be printed certain questions which.
applicants for passage will be compelled
to answer. These blanks are to be ex-
amined on this side before the landing of
immigrants, and if it is found that per.
jury has been committed, the person to
be prosecuted. If the steamship COM
panies do not comply with these condi-
tions, and prohibited immigrants are
found on their vessels, then they will be
compelled to take them back free OF

Within the past five years many flock
masters have abandoned wool as source
OF profit from sheep and given more atten-
tion to mutton, the result being that sheep
have paid large profits. 1t is being demon
strated that farmers have placed too much
Importance on wool, which is mistaken
policy. The sheep will give larger profit
than any other animal on the farm, but
not only the wool, but the mutton, lamb
and manure must contribute.
Cultivated in groves, the average growth
In twelve years of several varieties OF hard
wood, has been ascertained to be about as
follows: White maple reaches | foot in
diameter, and 80 feet in hight; ash leaf
maple or box elder, foot in diameter and
20 feet in hight; white willow, Is inches
and 40 feet; yellow willow, IS inches and
30 feet; Lombardy poplar, 10 inches and
40 feet; blue and white ash, 10 inches and
25 feet; black walnut and butternut, 10
inches and 20 feet.
Baled silage must be the next product
In the powerful hay presses OF the present
day green grass could be pressed into such
compact mass that it would keep WELL
Chopped corn stalks can be pressed and
packed into cakes and shipped, much as
dates are now shipped. This green fodder
would find fine market in the cities
Something Of the kind is now done in
England. Edward Atkinson, some years
since, shipped two sacks of silage safely to
England. There is good chance here for
some enterprising man.

THE FARM.


When one is TO toll and sweat over an
acre, over each Of its IS, $50 square feet OF
soil, in the preparation, the seeding and
tillage, 10 or 20 per cent. more or less Tor
his work amounts TO considerable even on
one acre, TO say nothing of five, ten, twenty
or fifty acres. Yet to get dozen vigor-
GUS stalks and the consequent large,
plump, we'll filed out ears Of sound corn
instead OF ten, on the same ground, figures
up profit Of 20 per cent, or three times
as large gain as is made on the average
by the entire business Of the country, in
Guiding the vast railroad system.
And this profit depends very greatly
upon the kind OF seed and its condition
when planted. We have shown, time and
again, and proved beyond question, that
there is great difference in the kinds OF
corn; that good selected seed OF improved
and approved kinds, will yield 10 to so
per cent more for the same soil and work
We have also shown how and why damp
ness, with only the slight change in tenn

during early spring, Injuries the germs Of
seed corn. weakening them, il not killing
them outright Whether this injury has
been done or not, cannot be seen by the
eye. 1t can only be told by trial, by a
testing which will hardly take an hour for
one acre, or fly or 500 acres.
Planting time is close ut hand-is at
hand, and even past with some of our
readers. Two weeks or moro before plant
ing every one should test his seed. Five
or six days are needed for this, and ii il is
not satisfactory more time is needed TO
hunt up other seed.

kernels all through the lot TO be planted

between two sods, or two or three folds OF
wooden blankets or old carpets. A single
square foot will hold IA kernels, placed
an inch apart, and they may be laid
closer. Put the whole in the Kitchen, or
other warm place, keeping the seeds just
damp and warm enough TO cause ready
sprouting. The upper sod or blanket can
be raised now and then, TO watch the
progress. II only thrce.quarters Of the
kernels send out vigorous sprouts, do not
use that seed for planting; or, II II must
be done, put in enough more TO make up
all defects, and then cut or pull out any
excess appearing This can be done very
rapidly with hand or hoe. Such care and
work will pay grandly on one acre, and
just rs well on many acres.

An Original African.

To the Editor Of The Appeal
Sir-I was attracted by an article In
TnE APPEAL taken from the Kansas City
Times. Mr.. Wilson, many years a mis-
sionary TO Africa, wrote on his return an
account Of various African tribes, among
Others the Foolahs. There was negro
woman who belonged to my ancestors who
claimed TO be the daughter Of the king Of
the Foolahs. She said she was captured
by the Mandingocs, n neighboring tribe,
which tribe was mentioned by Mr.. viii
son. When Mr.. Wilson's book appeared
u connection Of oun read 30 her the char
acteristics of various tribes, not mention
ing the tribe. She invariably designated
the tribe by their characteristics as given
by Mr.. Wilson. But she was black, tall
in statue, and proverbial for her integrity,
aud informed the mother and mistress n
anything went wropg, and was feared and
hated 10y the other sIfvanis.
