Farm and Stock Nntas-

AT this season the farmer should haul to
the barn or some suitable place a large
supply OF dry earth to be used during the
winter. 1t is excellent as an absorbent of
liquid manures, and largely assists in disin-
fecting the stalls.
Feed the poultry all they will eat few
days before they are marketed. This is
applicable to all kinds. Much of the poul-
try sent to market is not in condition to
De OF the best quality. They need fatten-
ing.
Quick growth and early maturity can
only lie secured by having good breeding
stock as a foundation, and then giving
good feed and care to build upon. And
when mating the breeding stoc for spring
pigs 1t Is important to see that good stock
is selected.
If you have fruit tree that is not bear
ing as it should, stir the soil well and apply
a dressing of rotten manure. II, in a few
days after, dressing of wood ashes can be
put on 1t will make it all the better. Prune
well, especially when cutting out all the
old, diseased wood.
The horticultural should always be fami-
lar with the more common insects that
attack the particular fruits that he grows.
The attack may be upon root, stalk, branch
or leaf. In fact the injury is often done
by insects that are submerged from view in
bark or wood, and the plant or tree sickens
and dies before the owner becomes aware
of the Cause of the mi chief.
If corn fodder is cut and steamed. or

A Michigan man who has 200 hiclory-nut
trees and about 300 walnut and butternut
trees says that his lcome from them, year
by year, is larger than that of any farmer
cultivating 300 acres of land. He sells his
crop on the trees for cash in hand, and the
only expense out is for taxes.
In a majority of cases it rarely pays to
attempt to cure hen that has fallen into
the habit of eating eggs, and for the reason
that she is almost certain to learn others
the same trick often almost before you are
aware of it, the best plan is to kill as soon as
the trick is discovered. 1t hardly pays to
run the risk

Halstead's famous letter to Secretary Chase,
concerning Lincoln and Grant. Mr.. Payne
said ii the nomination had been to Russia,
with promise that the nominee should go
to Siberia and never return, he would gladly
vote for the confirmation. Mr.. Evarts's
speech was long one, and said to have been
emphatic in opposition. Mr.. Spooner said
that if newspaper men were for all time to
be held to account for opinions expressed in
the heat of campaigns. few could hope to
office-holding.. Mr.. Sherman, desiring to
respond to the remarks made against Mr..
Halstead, the Senate. adjourned until II
o'clock tomorrow, leaving the question still
pending, on the motion to reconsider yester-
days vote of rejection. During the after

TOPEKA, Kan, March 29.-President Har- :
rison's proclamation throwing open to set
tlement on April % a portion of the Indian
Territory lands has caused the Oklahoma
fever to break out afresh. Reports from a
number of Kansas points indicate that a
monster exodus to ''the promised land" will
begin next month, unless the thousands now
preparing to go can be induced to examine
the situation carefully, under the provisions
of the proclamation. But 1SS,700 acres of
land will be opened to homsteaders on the
date mentioned, which would afford claim
of 160 acres to each of 11,79S settlers, but
there win be any number of town sites and
plenty of waste land, so that not more than
10000 homesteads will be available
The smallest estimate of the number of
people now encamped on the borders of Ok
lahoma or en- route is 10000, and people
who have examined the situation thor

Captain Couch came to Topeka this after
noon to consult with Gen. Weaver, who ar
rived on an early train from the Southwest.
He said:
81 have been all through the Territory and
along the border counselling the intending
settlers to wait patiently until the opening
day and then go in peacefully. You can
hardly imagine the state of affairs existing
on the border. Many of the boomers are
almost penniless, and they will have a hard
time to hold on until the time set in the
Presidents proclamation. On April %
there will be grand rush for homesteads,
and, as the supply will in no wise meet the
demand, am afraid there will be serious
trouble. One might as well try to stop an
avalanche as to attempt to restrain these
people now. They have seen the beauties
of Oklahoma, and will fight, if necessary, to
obtain foothold. Many of the early
boomers are still hiding in the Oklahoma
timber and the troops will have difficulty in
dislodging them. Unless something can be
done to prevent wholesale pilgrimage next
month there will surely be trouble, not to say
bloodshed."

Tho Eastman Case.

The mystery surrounding the arrest Of
John Field for the murder of Charles East
man continues impenetrable and all kinds of
unfonnded speculatious are rife, as TO why
the new arrest was made. The Dover Dem
ocrat claims 10 have received the information
from correspondent at Brunswick, that
Field has written a letter declaring that
Wells Is innocent of the murder. This letter
was not written from Brunswick, but from
town in Massachusetts and to friend OF
Fields in Great Falls. 1t stated that to his
knowledge, Wells was innocent and that the
writer knew whereof he spoke.
This letter found its way into Solicitor
Kivels hands and ne gave the clue to a COM
petent detective, who soon traced Field to
Brunswick. Last week he reported at Great
Falls and Sunday he and the solicitor were
closeted together. The result Of their COM
munion was the arrest Of Field by the de-
tectiye, the next day. The detective and
Field arrived in Dover upon an evening train
and the latter was taken to the new county

DEMONSTRATING IN LEWISTON.
The Removal OF State Liquor Conn
missioner Howard.
Especial to the Press.l

LEWISTON, March 29- Numerous petitions
were In circulation here today, and were be-
ing signed by the leading Republicans of
Lewiston and Auburn, demonstrating against
the summary removal by the governor, of
Col. Nelson Howard as State Liquor Com
missioner. The petitions are directed to the
Honorable Governor and Council, and set
forth the undersigned Republican voters Of
Lewiston respectfully, but earnestly. remon-
strate against the removal of Col. Nelson
Howard from the office of State Liquor Com
missioner. Col. Howard was brave SOL
dier, and is man of unimpeachable moral
character and business integrity. We regard
his removal in the midst of his term both as
most unjust TO him, and such departure
from wise and just political action as com
pels the belief that it was made under an
entire misapprehension of the facts in the
case; we therefore respectfully request re-
consideration Of this case"
Col. Howard was appointed State Liquor
Commissioner by the late Gov. Bodwell, and
has served only one year and ten months.
he enlisted as private soldier in the 18th
Maine Regiment, and carried musket three
years; he then re-enlisted in the field. Dur
Ing the latter part of his term he was trans
ferred to the Both Maine Regiment, of which
zen. Francis Fessenden Of Portland was
colonel. He was a faithful soldier, and
earned his promotion in the field
