Some Wretch Attempts to Destroy K. @. Stabsck's
Beautiful Forest Trees.
1t was discovered yesterday by the
friends and neighbors of X. c.. Stabeck,
that some insignificant whc!f has at
tempted to destroy the beautiful ash,
maple and evergreen trees which adorn
the residence of X. G. Stabeck and make
it one of the most pleasant and attractive
in the city. The damage seems to have
been inflicted by means of an ak or other
sharp instrument. The bark of most of
the trees has been entirely cut through
the entire circumference of the trunk of
the tree and SO close to the ground that
the cut is hid from sight by the tall grass
and would not be noticed except on close
examination The mischief was first no.

weather had so far effected some of the
trees as to completely dry the foliage.
There is no doubt but that most of the

may survive Some of the smaller trees,
among them several cvergreens. were en-

Chairman Hotter. Of the Independent County Cen.

EDITOR FARMERS ADVOCATE - The
article in your last weeks issue from 'sIn-
dependent" on the subject of reduction in
the compensations of public officers, is a
timely one. The independent convention
should give this matter proper consider
alton.
The chief points that may be advanced
against this measure are: 1st, apparant
illegality; 2nd, the accusation of bait
thrown out by independent candidates to
fish for office; 3rd, the fact that it would
be local consideration confined to this
county as there is thus far no such step
taken in any other portion Of the state.
The proper bearing of these several
points should be considered. AS to the
first one, illegality it is well to remember
that legislation grows out of public senti-
ment when this measure has become a
thoroughly public sentiment which has

EDEN. August 11.-Speciaz Coarespoaat-

farmers Of this section and the Milwau-

ting into an interesting squabble The
fracas has been brewing for month or
more. The first inllings of it arose several
weeks ago when the farmers concerned in
the warehouse project at this place made
application for location on the side

int &f the road instructed the farm

build their warehouse on the site, but the
coal dealer objected and, true to the say
ing that possession is nine points
in law, he has thus far effectually sue
ceeded in keeping the Alliance warehouse
folks at a distance. AS soon as the coal
dealer registered his objection to the pro-
position of the farmers to remove his coal
bin, the latter Immediately notified SUI
perintendent Beardsley of the status of
the matter and requested his immediate
action. Contrary to promises and the
most sauguine hopes and expectations of
thewarehouse people, the superintendent
has thus farneglected them in the most
shameless and cowardly manner Several
times he has passed through town with
out giving the farmers the slightest
attention although he had promised
to stop and point outa suitable location

as2hfag to think this action of the road

merchants who are manifestly opposed to
permitting the farmers to get foothold
in the town. Great Indignation prevails
among the farmers who are interested in
the warehouse and there is room to expect
a lively time in which the town and the
railroad company will be the loosers, un-

satisfaction of the wrathy grangers. They

SOMETHING Better F0R FARMERS

Wn. Partoaa and Others, organize tie Can
ton Dairy association.
Mr. VIM. Paxton, the enterprising
gentleman who has been at the head of
the Canton creamery for many years,
dropped into the editorial rooms Of the
FARMERS ADVOCATE Wednesday morn
ing and relieved himself quite freely up
on the subject of dairying in this part of
the country. He was evidently in the
best of spirits, talked freely and as he is
good conversationalist and is well
posted on the subject, he disposed of a
great deal of information of value and
interest to farmers in this vicinity.
Mr.. Paxton, associated with G. Skart-
vedt and Frank Huetson of this city,
have secured a charter for the organiZa-
ton of stock company with capital of
five thousand dollars, for the purpose Of
entering the creamery business. The OBJ
ject in view is to sell most of the capital
stock among the farmers who make it a
part Of their business to raise cream for
the market instead Of butter. Mr.. Pax
tons hope, is by this means to bring the
producers into closer contact with the
business and as this is done, and the mem
bers of the association become better
acquainted with the requirements of the
butter business, they will feel the import
ance OF taking better care Of their cream
and thereby producing an article that
will bring more money with little if any
more labor, and make the business much
more profitable to themselves ''The
greatest trouble with our present patrons
is" said Mr.. Paxton, ''that they do not
take sufficient care of their product to
make it an object for us to pay them
to pay producer third more for cream
that is worth it than could to pay them
the exceedingly low prices that we do
now. The point is just this. with good
cream, well taken care of and properly
handled, creamery can much easier
turn out l 800 pounds of good butter per
day, than it can turn out 500 pounds of
poor stuff from such cream as we are get
ting. Thus you can easily see why we
can afford to pay more, even in proper
ton, for good cream than we can for the
inferior article; we not only get better
price for our product but find a reader
market and can handle three times as
much with the same help. By means of
this association it will be possible to
eventually educate our cream producers
up to the requirements that I have mem
toned, and make the business much
more profitable for them than it is now. :"
Mr.. Paxton is now soliciting subscrip-
tions for stock and seems to be meeting
with good encouragement in the enter
prise and this paper will Go all in it's
power to aid the undertaking. 1t is
doubtless a step in a good direction.

BREAKING a COLT.

When the colt has been taught to let
you mount him without any nervous
ness or impatience, take him out into the
yard or shed where you have been lead
ing him and mount him there, letting
him stands still with you or walk as he
pleases. If he stand still five minutes
after you have mounted him so much the
better, but very few, if any, colts will do
that. If at any time you want to start
him, don't touch him with your heel, or
anything to send him off with rush,
but pull him gently to one side with a
horizontal rein. If he is restive and does
not guide to the rein, you have mounted
him to soon; get off as soon as you can,
without any fighting, and give him more
discipline where he must submit.
If he walks about quietly with you,
take a few turns around the yard or shed,
and then get off his back and lead him,
or drive him with reins mile away from
home and there get on him and ride him
home at a walking pace. Be sure that
you do not at first attempt to ride him
from his home, his stable, his company,
or any strong attraction, as it may lead
to fight in which you may not be mas
ter. If such a fight is carefully avoided
at first it will not take place after he has
learned to thoroughly understand all your
signals and acquire, as soon as he will,
the impression that he must obey them.

At the Michigan agricultural station
some useful experiments have been made
with different breeds Of pigs, with a view
to testing which kind laid on the most
meatsin given time.
Two barrows Of each breed were chosen,
the families being the Duroc, Berkshire
and Poland China.
The pigs were placed in comfortable
pens with adjoining yards and were fed
regularly three times a day, the expert
ment beginning July 16, 1889, and ending
January 81, 1890 Their food was COM
posed Of equal parts of corn and oats
ground together and mixed with twice its
weightof fine middlings; excepting dur
ing the periods from August to IS, and
from October to 7, when they were fed
on fine middlings alone. All the pigs fed
better on mixed feed. The grain was
stirred into cold water and left standing
for six hours, or from one feeding till the
next, except on a few cold nights when
there was danger of it's freezing.

THREATENING REDS.

In iians In Dakota Becoming FESTIVE and
Defisnt-The War department Taking
Measures to Prevent an Outbreak.
WASHINGTON, Nov 15.-Advices re-
ceived by the War Department from
General Miles indicate that the Indians
in Dakota are threatening an outbreak
and that the whites in the vicinity of
the Cheyenne, Rosebud and White
Earth agencies are very much alarmed
at the hostile attitude of the Indians
The Indians seem TO have been stirred
up over the coming of the Messiah, re-
ports of which have been heretofore
made by the agents and military officers
and the medicine men have succeeded
in producing a state of feeling that is
likely to produce trouble unless the
Government sends large body of troops
into the field The Interior Depart
ment has become alarmed and has
turned the matter over to the War De
partment
The Indians at the Cheyenne agency
have defied the agents and the Indian
police, and the reports from the Brule
and Ogallalla bands OF Sioux are also of
a threatening character.
Upon the recommendation of General
Miles the War Department yesterday
issued orders for the Eighthca valry at
Fort Meade to take the field, and the
troops at Forts Niobrara, Robipson,
Laramie and other posts in the vicinity
of the threatened outbreak may also be
ordered out
1t is evidently the intention of the
War Department. to- make similar demon
straton against the Northern Indians
should the exigencies require.

Talking of patent medicine

Talking of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors-some of
them are between you and US.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
e0crykhtng and so, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
"stuff, you lose faith in e0'ery-
thing.
And, YOU can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll do-you
get your money back.

AppReHENpEp DEFICIENCY.
Pension Payments Cutting DEEPLY Into this
Public Funds.

Public Funds.
WASHINGTON, Nov. i5.-Secreta.y
Window is preparing his estimates for
the coming session OF Congress. Though
the Mckinley tariff law went into effect
on the 9th of October, goods imported
before that date may be withdrawn any
time prior to the first of February at
the old rate of duty. These duties
coming in with those collected under
the new law it is difficult to estimate
what the revenues under the new law
will be at present The daily revenues
exceed the daily ordinary expenses bat
there is no means Of estimating what
she custom revenues will be after
February L 1t is not improbable
that the largely increased rates OF
duty in many instances will reduce i'm
portations, and therefore reduce the
revenues The indications are that
there will be some very large deficien-
cies in the appropriations for this year
to be provided for at the next session
The deficiency on account of pensions
will be enormous Up to date there has
been s6i, 600. 900 drawn out of the
Treasury for pensions since the 1st of
July. About s19. 600. 900 of this sum was
drawn this month, and it is hoped at
the department that there will be no
more persion drafts before January.
Upon this basis it is estimated that the
expenditures for pensions during the
whole year will be $40, 600, 900 or $50, =
COO 00O
But it seems quite probable that the
Sl9. COO 600 just drawn will not last I'M
til January, and that the expenditure
for the whole year will be much more
than est mated Deducting the Sl9,-
900, 900 not yet expended. the expendi-
lures for the first quarter of the year
have amounted to about s44, O9O, 900.
This carried out for the four quarters
would make the expenditures for the
year siT6, 600 600. to meet which less
than slO0, 0Oo 900 has be en- appropriated.
Meanwhile the number of pensions is
steadily increasing and the deficiency
NAV be greater than SO, 900 600
