Notes.

Within the past five years many large
poultry establishments have sprung inUO
existence, due to improved incubators.
Without the aid of the incubator such
establishments were not possible, as
they enable the poultry men to hatch by
wholesale. s.
1t is more profitable 10 feed the fod
der, hay and grain than to sell it. Where
few cattle are kept it will pay better &c
buy steers and fatten them rather than
sell the hay at low price. BY so doing
the manure is left on the farm.
A Massachusetts man found in his
bean field stalk which bore 7a6 beans.
Evergreens add much to the adorn-
ment of the front yard. They are cheap,
thrive in nearly all soils, need but little
care, are hardy and can be put out by
any one. They make a beautiful and
lasting hedge. --aE.
In selecting shrubs get hardy varieties
and purchase young plants, they will
give more satisfactory results than
larger plants.
Novelties are SO much over-praised
that investments should be made on a
small scale until their value is more
definitely ascertained.
No wise man will allow his stock to
seek shelter behind Fail fence.

STOCK ITEMS.

Fatten all sows that are not just what
you know you ought to keep for breed
ers and let the butchers have them.
Excessive growth or fattening is at
great expense of food. Better contin-
uous good growth and no examining
stages.
The preparations for the care of the
early lambs shotld be made, as it will
be but short time before the ewes
come in.
The man who buys good animals and
gives them scrub feed ought, to be con-
sistent, not to hoist his umbrella in a
rainstorm.
Too much of the winter care of stock
is trusted to chore boy, who has no in
terest for his employers property, and
who does not possess the Judgment of
man.
Look out that the cattle do not get
lousy A little lard and sulphur, thor
oughly mixed, rubbed along the back
bone from horns to tail once week for
a few weeks, is good.
1t is often profitable to grind grain for
own and can do it at odd times. But to
haul it to mill and back and pay toll
takes most of the profit out.
The presence of two or three inferior
cows in a herd affects the average profit
of the whole. If dairying is to be con-
Quoted as paying business, the most
important requisite is a good COW in
place of an inferior one.
A pedigree will not render the animal
superior. Pedigree alone shows to
which family it belongs. 1t is safer,
however, to rely on an animal with
pedigree than to expect merit in an ami
NAL of unknown breeding.
Every farmer should raise pigs and
cure his bacon. There is no meat equal
to that produced at home. You will at
least ''know what YOU are eating"
which is valuable point in favor of
home-raised meat, as only healthy,
thrifty stock will be used for the home
supply.
A Western dairyman says that warm
water not only increases the quantity OF
the milk in winter but also improves the
quality. Cows, when water is not amply
provided will drink from stagnant pools,
but when the dairyman determines to
give his cows warm water he is sure to
have it clean, as he goes to the pump for
his supply.
To cover horses bit take strip of
strong cotton cloth about twelve or
fourteen inches long by an inch and
half wide. Commencing near the mid
die wind the strip back and forth over
the bit and fasten the end of the cloth
with strong thread near the center of
the bit. This is as durable as leather
covering, and is much more quickly
done

EXPRESS RoseeRy.

A Pacific Express Clerk ut Dallas, TeH.,
Steals q Package Containing oS5 900 and
skips.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 8.-Yesterday L. A.
Fuller, superintendent of the Pacific
Express Company, was notified by the
Commercial Bank Of this city that q
package containing SS5,OOO in green
backs consigned to that bank by the
City National Bank, of Dallas, Tex, and
for which the Commercial Bank held
the receipt of the Pacific Express Com
pany, was missing.
February 1 the City National Bank Of
Dallas RENTED TO the Commercial
National Bank Of st, Louis the sum Of
$50, 900, of which SIS, 200 was gold in a
bag and S35, 900 in bills enclosed in q
regular express package. The gold was
duly received two days ago and deliv-
cred to the bank, which reported to Su-
perintendent Fuller that the gold was
only part of the remittance from the
City National Bank and that the bank
held two receipts-one for $4,000 and
one for $3.50
On receipt of this information Super
intendent Fuller telegraphed Assistant
Superintendent Aiken at Dallas notify
ing him Of the shortage, and asking him
to investigate and forward information
as soon as possible. -.
Mr.. kiken's reply that there was no
trace of the missing package there fully
confirmed Superintendent Fuller's fears,
and with it came the additional inform
alton that the money clerk of the Dallas
office, a young man named +. A. Wal
ton, had been missing since last Sunday
night
Walton's fight led to the belief at
Dallas that he must be defaulter, and
an investigation was at once instituted,
but without result, as the cash of the
Dallas Office was found to be intact.
When Assistant Superintendent Aiken
received Superintendent Fuller's mes
sage it opened up new avenue for in
vestigation and the cunning scheme Of
Walton to secure delay in the discovery
of his shortage was unfolded. He had
made out two receipts--one for $4,000
and one for 81, oSG on one bank. On the
duplicate forwarded to st. Louis, how
ever, no mention was made of the $780,
900 and it was not until the Commercial
Bank of this city had notified the Dallas
Bank of the receipt Of but $4,000 OF the
$685. that there was the least suspic-
ion of any thing wrong.
After pursuing this line Of inquiry to
the Assistant Superintendent Aiken tel
egraphed as follows to Superintendent
Fuller: walton, our money clerk, has
taken S35. ZOO. He was with the Amer
lean Express Company at Iowa, Mich,
for five years. He came to US from
Wells, Fargo & Co. His father resides
at st. Joseph, Mo. Have traced him to
the Indian Territory and have detect
i've on his trail. Agent Garrison leaves
for St. Louis tonight"
Walton is about twenty-five years old
and has generally led an exemplary life
heretofore.

children of Jacob Slater were skating
on the lake at Binnewater, about six

who lived near by, and the father and
mother rushed to the rescue, but
by the time they had reached
the lake the four children had disap-
peared beneath the ice. The mother,
frantic with the thought of her drown
ing children, rushed upon the ice, which
gave way with her weight and she sank
below the surface. Slater then attempt
ed to reach his wife and he too was
drowned. The entire family is wiped
out of existence. Last night hundreds
