HIS plan is known to O1asly- iew-
The idea excites universal comment.
1t is believed, as far as can be
judged at present, that it would have the
effect of eliminating the crimina! and Others
wise undesirable elements rom the army,
which, it is said, will herea ter be princi-
pally used ON the Northern and Southern
frontiers and in territory occupied by In-
dams. There are very large number o of,
ticers. some of whom have seen service. who
are beng SUI ported oIs the retired list

saving to the country OF several millions

be effected gradually. 50 as NOT to offend
the more than $50 generals and other off,
is carried into effect it is supposed many of
these officers would find employment in
the national guard and otherseryices in the
different states.

How often Shall / Feede

II
One important item in feeding all
kinds OF stock is regularity, and stock
will make better growth If care is
taken to feed at regular hours with
less feed than Ii no care is taken in
this respect. This brings up the
question OF how often it will pay the
best to feed either growing or laLten-
ing stock.
tattening poultry ought to be fed at
least five times day. giving the first
iced very early in the morning and
the last one just before tney 20 to
roost at night, and the otaer three
times at intervals during the day. Ii
hogs are well fed generally on the
farm twice a day will be sufficient
Tn the average farm there are so
many contingencies that m y arise to

regular hours and to give them all
that they will eat up clean at each
meal. The dinner feed is good meal
if it can be supplied regularly, but if
not the better plan will be TO
only feed twice a day My plan OF
feeding hogs. says Wisconsin CORE
spondent, is TO give swill feed, Stop.
first, made either with bran or snip
stuff, or both, and allowed to stand
twelve hours. give all of this kind
OF slop they will drink first and then
feed the grain. My experience is that
in a majority of cases it will pay to
purchase mill feed in this way. The
less grain required TO fatten will make
it profitable. never like to feed Stops
after feeding grain, there is much
larger per cent Of the food that will
remain undigested and pass through
the animal without benefit.
The same holds good with cattle as
with hogs. Feeding three times day
will be found the best, provided ii can
be done regularly, but if this is not
readily possible it will be better to feed
twice, taking care to see that they are
given all that they GIN eat. With cat
tie, however, have always found it au
advantage in fattening to give corn
fodder with hay to eat during the day.
Give them all TIE grain necessary
morning and evening. with a supply OF
roughness in addition. Make it a
point, however, to feed at regular
hours and not oblige the stock to wait
for their meals. If the work on the
farm is such that three meals can be
given regularly it will be better TO feed
the tree times, dividing this equally,
as u better gain on thes me amount of
feed can be secured than when only
two meals are supplied.

Mineral sIanures for Peaches.

One of the reasons why peaches do
not succeed on land long cultivated is
lack of mineral plant food. The
peach is usually planted on light or

without potash, and lacking this the
peaches fall of soon ;.fter setting. 1t

The Tramp Who Didn't Come Forth

The Tramp Who Didn't Come Forth
1t was in a Winconsin village, saws the
New York Sun, and among the men in the
Office of the inn after supper was over was
man who had just been elected constable.
lie was naturally anxious to display his
vigor as an officer, and SO when a how
came in and reported that he had seen q
tramp enter an old barn on one of the back
streets the constable invited us to go along
and see him Jerk thunder as he put it,
out of the wayfarer. Half a dozen of us
accompanied him, and when we reached
the barn it was to find the interior as black
as pitch ana no lantern in the crowd We
were for sending for one, but the constable
protested.
''There is no occasion for light. will
call upon him 10 come out and he will
come"
He stood in the open door, with the crowd
behind him, and called in loud voice:
"Hol there, you villain come out and
surrender to the law, aud don't be over
minute about it, eitherl"
There was no answer, although all of us
heard some one moving about inside.
I'm the name of the law l order you to
come outp shouted the constable, but the
unknown didn't come.
We again proposed to get a lantern and
then all go in to back the officer in collarjnp

Everybody stand back against the

and forbid any of you to foliow!'
He disappeared in the midnight darkness
Of the interior, and for some time we could
trace his progress as he moved about. By
and by we heard grunt, followed by stiff
fled yell and fall, and we uttered a bur
Tah under the supposition that he hal got
his man. We expected him to reappear at
once, but he didn't, and after waiting a
long i've minutes. and shouting to him
without receiving reply, we sent for a
lantern, and used 1T to light our way in.
We found the constable lying on his back

we bent over him he opened his eyes and
sat up. 1t was ten minutes later before he
could explain that the tramp had struck
him knock-down blow with his fist, and
another ten on top of that before he dis
covered that his watch, and wallet, and the
tramp had loft the barn by the unguarded
back door. When this fact was known it
seemed as if he ought to make speech or
something, and he hauled off and kicked
fence-board loose ana growled:

A NO MANS LAND ROMANCE.
Both Lovers Froze to Death in Spite
of the Mans Self Sacrifice.

Both Lovers Froze to Death in Spite
of the Mans Self Sacrifice.
The last blizzard that howled across the
plains of No Mans Land brought to light
very unexpectedly an interesting subject for
gossip among the people on the North Flats.
says Beaver City correspondent of the
New York Sun. About TWO years ago
William Dunnen moved to this country
from some place in Iowa, bringing with
him wife. Dunnell had some money, and
after looking over the country picked out a
claim not far from the sand hills on the
north side of Beaver river, and built a
comfortable sod and box frame house.
Then, it being fall, he turned over some
forty acres of sod ready TO receive the
SHOWS and rains and awaited spring and
seed time TO come.
Before the winter had half gone came
Mr.. and Mrs. James Bigelow, with one
child, TO the same neighb0rhood, and Sc
lected another claim and built a combina-
ton house on it much like Duuneli's, and he
too got ready for spring by blowing an
ample breadth of sod.
Meantime the two families got well ac-
quainted, for they lived but two miles
apart. The men, though unlike in appear
ance, Dunnen being tail and broad, while
Bigelow was short and slender, were of like
tastes in many respects. They shot prairie
chickens and quails, and deer and coyotes,
and wild cats together, and both being
good shots, the rivalry, such as it was,
rather strengthened than weakened their
friendship. They were very often to-
gether in Beaver, and there, as was com
monty remarked, drank out Of the same
bottle.
As for TIE wives they, too, became fast
friends. Mrs. Dunnell was short and fat
and jolly. Mrs. Bigelow was rather above
medium hight, slender, and vivacious, Mrs.
Dunnell could COOK like a Frenchman, and
was proud of 1t. Mrs. Bigelow could do
fancy work that any one had right to be
proud Of. Each frequently exercised her
skill in behalf OF the other and a path be-
tween the two claims was shortly plain to
be seen.
Here matters stood during all the time
the families have lived there. They were
model families so far as any one know.
Jan. 8 Mr.. Bigelow drove up the trail
past Dunnelps bound for Meade on a shop
ping expedition. 1t was early in the morn
ing. and as Bigelow has a well-kept team of
Texas ponies he was sure to arrive at Meade

About $50 Delegates Present st the

Implements at the state Expert
mental Farm Causes Lively
Debate.
HAwK1vsvuLE, GA, FEB 1.-THE
spring meeting Of ths Georgia State Agri-
cultural Society was called TO order here
this morning BY President Northen. About
$50 delegates from ali parts of the state
were present at the meeting, and many
more are expected on to-night's train.
After the convention was opened with
PRAYER by Rev. J. f. Eden, an address of
welcome was delivered by Col. George ".
Jordan. mayor Of Hawkiusville, on the part
of the city of Hawkinsville. The delegates
were then welcomed by Coils. NJ. 7. Hodges
and J. T. Waterman in behalf Of the
farmers of Pulaski county. Hon. Thomas
Hardeman responded in behalf of the con-
vention. He was very eloquent, and his
speech was received with applause. After
calling the roll of the delegates President
Northen delivered his seml-aunual address
to the society. When he had concluded the
convention adjourned for dinner.
THE FARMER GUBERN AToRIAL CANDIDATES.
The afternoon session was full of interest
and rather lively at times. Col. r. j. Red
ding's address, ''Work on the Experimental
Farm brought on some discussion, which
showed TO the looker-on the sentiment OF
the delegates in regard to the two farmer
candidates for governor. Col. Redding
gave an outline of what had been done on
the farm and a sketch Of the work contem-
plated.
TESTS on THE FARM.
Col. Livingston and Mr.. Hunnicut were
in favor of testing on the farm all the diff
ferent fertilizers actually used by the farm
ers of the state and reporting the results;
also that all kinds of agricultural imple-
ments be tried, and such as were suitable to
the needs of the farmer of the state be so
recommended. A motion was made that
the above be recommended to the board of
directors of the station.
Col. Redding opposed it, saying that
were this done the farm would not be large
enough to hold the instruments, and that
there would not be any room for expert
menting.
THE MOTION TABLED.
A motion was made to table the above
motion and was carried by a large ma
jority.
Col Livingston gave notice that he would
move to reconsider.
The report OF the delegates who attended
the Central railroads farmers excursion to
the northwest was then received. DR..
Slope, K. A Nesbit, J. o. Wadden, James
Barrett. and w. j. Northen, made reports
full of interest, and which ELECTED many
inquiries from the members of the conven-
ton.
Tonight DR.. L. B. Clifton delivered a
lecture on "Insects, injurious aud bene-
fetal, found on the cotton plant" It was
full of interest. and he received the close at
tention Of his hearers. After the lecture
the convention INDUCED in general inter-
change Of experience.
