IN regard I'D rti ing colts. have them
battered when few weeks old. 30 they can
be handled. rubbed, and led about their
stalls. In that way they soon become ac-

them one 10 four quarts of oats day after
they are Weaned. They first learn TO eat
oats with their dam before they are
wcancl. have them rubbed down once q

operation. By such means l hnd when az
three years old there IS no trouble IN
breaking them 20 either harness or saddle.

PErrB@URG, Va, July 20, 1889.
Telegram was received here to-day
rom Colonel James d. Brady. AZ Wash
ington, announcing that his appointment
rs collector OF internal Revenue for this
district was made this morning. While
ihe announcement was not unexpected by
The personal and political friends of Colo

cove the appointment 10 mas time aud
again been iutlmotcd that IN The event Of
the appointment Of the latter the names
81 the deputies had nll been agreed upon.
The same may probably be true with Colo
mel Brady.
IL rs stated authoritativelv that the ap-
p0lutmcnt of Colonel Brady was agreed
upon as long ago as the 9th of juno last
and that % was n no wise consequent upon
tnc compromise brought about bv the re-
cent conference ia Washington. This pro-
badly only fastened the announcement Of
Tho fppo .ufmcrt.
Colonel Brady was formerly the collector
of tins district. and it Is said mode q good
record as such. Tho Influences In high
Republican quarters Chat urged his mp
Ioiutwrrt now were such that the Adj
mlnstgation could not ignore and that
General Malone could not successfully
combat.

Tuckahoe Farmers Club Monthly Meeting.
lFOr the Dispatch

The monthly gatherings Of the well
known TuckahOe Farmers Club are gene
rally attended, and the attendance at the
handsome suburban farm of Mr.. Milton
Cayce. on the Grove road, proved no eX-
ceptiOn to this rule, for large number OF
Iuckahoes were present, as well as other
invited guests, TO tell what they knew Of
farming and what their prospects are for
the future.
Among the guests were b. G. Watkins,
d. G.. Watkins, and j. b. Watkins, of Ches-
terfield, and Mayor j. L. Ellyson.
Mr. Milton Cayce has one Of the most
beautiful suburban farms on the Grove
road. The handsome dwelling Is sur
rounded with large shade-trees, and his
grounds are nicely laid of.
A crop of Sofa beans drew forth many
comments from the club, and promised a
very large yield. They are one OF the best
grow, being especially relished by stock
generally. His crop of German mlllet
was very fine, and his hay had
given him large yield. but there
was nothing which attracted more
attention than his splendid herd of re-
gistered Jerseys which IN point OF butter
qualities and fine appearance speak well
for HenricO county. Among the COWS are
Claudine, Of St. Heller, No. 2S56S, }. Q.
c.; Lady Lilly Langtry, NO. ll5Jo, a J'
c. c.; Virginia Beauty, No. 1915, a j. G..
c., sired by Black Prince, OF Linden.
Winning Princess, No. 564S5, a J. G. c.,
sired by Brunnett's Prince, Is very
handsome heifer, finely marked. and will
no doubt make a splendid butter COW.
At the head of the herd stands Bull Stoke
Pogis Moring, No. 2222O a j. O. O., sired
by Albert Stake Pogis, well-bred animal.
All of these animals are in good condi-
ton. and show that they are well cared for.
President b. Puryear presided at the
meeting of the club.
A report on the farm Of Captain Frank
Guy was read by Mr.. IL. Theodore Ellyson,
as follows:
