Be Careful, Bows,

Between the acts at the opera house
last night we'll known dude in the
dress circle amused himself by read
ing love letters, which he evidently
enjoyed, and some bystanders by the
aid of strong opera glass, read them
too. 1t is doubtful which had the
most fun, Jimmie or his friends.

night the proud possessor of an over

house, on Crockett street. He had
supper, wrote some letters, and when

mail them, his overcoat was gone. II

A good pig should average about eight or ten pounds gain weekly from birth to slaughter until twelve months old.
 When you breed up your herd your neighbors will soon want to buy some of your stock. Breeding up pays in several ways.
 --Turnip tops, chopped and mixed with straw, have been used in the silos in Scotland, and good results are claimed therefrom.
 It would be just as sensible to en- ter a race with a plug horse as it is to conduct dairy with cows that do not give much milk or give poor milk.
 All weeds that have been moved down should be consumed by fire, and not left to decay, as is frequently done. Burning them destroys many seeds and lessens tho number of harboring places for insects.
 Do not pick the ducks and geese too late or they will suffer severely from the cold, especially after the fall rains set in. Let them have a good growth of feathers before severe wealth CT begins.
 -If manure is applied around young trees let it be done late in the fall, or when the winter Is well in. A disad- vantage of covering the ground around trees with manure. however, is that it harbors insects, airording them shell ter.
 Cooking the food is an advantage. but one reason why it is not in uni versaI practice is the cost of fuel and labor necessary to cook the food. A mess of cooked food two or three times week will, however, greatly promote health and aid digestion.
 Tho seed of sorghum makes good feed for chickens in winter. In some places where it is grown largely it is preferred for this use to corn Ripen- ing the seed sufficiently to save it rather increases the product Of sweet, thus making a crop Of seed and another Of sweetness from the same growth.

Landlord and Tenant.


 The following points of law will be beneficial to your many readers to refer to it if they keep them, as they are statutory and can be relied upon as such, and thereby save lawyers fees and much annoyance:
 The laws governing landlord and tenant are as follows: The relation of landlord and tenant exists by virt- ue of contract for the use or occu- patton of lands or tenements either for a definite period, for life, or at will; it is usually created by express contract, but it's existing will be im- piled by law whenever there is an ownership of land on the one hand and occupation of it by permission on the other; in every such case it will be presumed that the occupant intends to compensate the owner for such use.
 While the relation may be inferred from variety of circumstances, tho most obvious acknowledgement is the payment of rent If tenant, under an express contract, hold over after the termination of his term, the land lord may consider him as tenant, and indeed, is so understood. unless he takes some steps to eject him. If the landlord receives rent from him, or by any other act admits the tenancy, a new leasing begins and can only be terminated by a proper notice to quit, and in no other way can the land lord do any act to disturb the enjoyment of the tenant. And if the landlord makes his occupa- tion so uncomfortable as to justify his removal he will be discharged from the payment of rent, and if the tenant has paid his rent before taking possession, and is afterward refused possession, he may call upon his landlord to reim- purse him. The landlord has no right of possession during the continuance of the lease, nor, indeed, any substan- tial rights in the property further than such as may be necessary to protect his reversionary interests. The tenant is entitled to all the rights indicated in the possession. and to the use of all the privileges appendant to the land. -J. T. Prather, in Farmers Home Jour nal

Onion Culture at the South.


 When reading in the Southern agri- cultural papers the statements that onions could not be grown from the black seed, we have wondered if such were actually the case, and were there- fore particularly interested in the ar ticle on Onion CuIture,n by Mir. Stokes. of North Carolina It ap- pears by the article mentioned that there is no trouble in growing fine onions in that State from the black seed Mir. Stokes fertilized his soil well and secured a crop. Is it not possible that the trouble has rested quite largely upon this one point? The onion is a strong feeder and re- quires D good soil; that is. one that has a good degree of fertility, and if this is not natural condition, it must be made so by artificial application. Almost any good. mellow soil, possess ing requisite fertility. will grow onions at the South, if they are properly at tended to. In our climate it is best to plant the seed as soon us the soil is suitable after the departure of the frost
 At the South we should expect to be compeled to plant as much early as the changed conditions required. In Georgia, for instance, planting in Feb ruary ought to secure good crop, all other things being equal. The onion does best with culture and free stir ring of the soil. although it does not require the soil to be drawn up to the plants. unless speedy bottoming is re- quired, when we have thought that by throwing up the soil by the use of the Planet Jr. wheel, even this end was accomplished, at the expense of size of the bulb. Top draining is good. and we have employed ashes with good results; in fact, hardwood ashes are an excellent fertilizer for the onion crop under most conditions Successful onion culture requires some skill We have known the cul- tivation, by those accustomed to the same, to be complete failure with full average conditions. The onion is crop that can be grown year after year upon the same plat of ground with success. --Wm. H. Yoemans, in | Dixie Farmer.

An Ocean "Vesuvius.

The following details of this vessel were lately given by Captain F. L. Zalinski, United States army; She is equiped with three ffteen-inch pneu- matic dynamite guns, placed at q fixed angle of eighteen degrees, all parallel with the keel and abreast of each other, pointing forward. The guns are trained by steering the vessel, while ranges are altered by varying the air pressure. As the vessel is provided with twin screws. the former operation is rapidly performed. Three calibers of shell will be used, S-inch and To- inch sub-calibers and 15-inch full cali Der, The ranges will be two miles, one and one-haq miles, and 1,500 yards The rate of fire will be once per minute from each gun. or practi- cally, three rounds per minute. Thir- ty-three rounds can be so carried as to maintain the maximum rate of fire, until these are expended. Compari- sons of the "Yesuyius" with the "Il- gin, '" "Tripoli. .n"Destructor," " sharp shooter, :" 'Rattlesnake' and 'Bombe. show that she can discharge more than three times as much explosive than that carried by the largest of these vessels to more than five times the ef- iective range, and in about one-hall the time required when seven torpedo tubes are used. The "Vesuviusn has a speed Of more than twenty knots. -- N. r. Mail and Express.

Ventilation and Cleanliness in Stable.

When winter approaches the thoughtful man begins to think of the dangers of an unventilated house in which he is to live, and the vast ma jority of our houses have nothing that can be reasonably called ventilation.
 He knows that the house is to be shut up, and that all the impurities nwill he secures such ventilation as will make the house as safe to live in as it is in the summer when the windows and doors are open. But there are many who never think of the stables in which the animals are kept These are closed up in winter, too. They have no ventilation, and the horse is in them much larger proportion of the time than he is in summer. It re- quires little thought to guess the re- suit And it is not ma ter of wonder that horse that is kept in an ill., ventilated and imperfectly cared for stable gets sick. but it is q matter of wonder that he does not die. There is not universal agreement as to the best kind of floor to put into stable. But whatever the floor is, the stable should be kept clean. We all know the nature of horse manure. It is heat producing, and naturally q powerful source of gases. To one unaccustomed to 1t. the entrance into a stable in
 which the manure is permitted to lie is enough to take the breathi and yet the horse that is kept in such a stable is compeled to breathe this vitiated at mosphere all the time. Stalls should not only be cleaned every day, but they should be arranged so as to admit the sunshine. Nothing is so purifying as the rays of the sum- and if the stalls can be so arranged as to admit these rays, especially in the morning, a cheap disinfectant and cheap pre- ventive of disease will be secured.
 In regard to the kind of floor to be used in a stall. we suppose if ground
 floor could be kept in condition, it would, all things considered, be the best. An earth floor can be made, however, that with care will last a l long time Tho foundation should be well drained, and covered with clay that is free from stones; and packed as soIidly as it is possible to pack it, ii will last long time. It will require moro bedding than plank foor We are acquainted with an intelligent, en- terprising farmer who has a stable paved with cobble stones, such as city streets are often paved with. It has been down a dozen years, and has never needed repairing yet It is laid on foot of sand and ] gravel He is an enthusiastic ad
 mirer of the cobble stone floor But, as before said, whatever the floor is, keep it clean, The feet of the horse arc about tho most important thing about the animal. and they are much more often diseased than many think. We sometimes think that people look almost anywhere else for the cause ol lameness before they look at the feet. l Unless the location Of the lameness is ! evident at first eight, VIC always look
