Maxims for Farmers.

St Louis RepubIc.
As well attempt to keep abreast with the
reading, progressive. and practical farmer
without a good weekly paper as to get to
heaven without a Bible or prayer-boOk.
No wise man will risk his success on a
single crop. or. in other words. put all his
eggs into one basket.
No wise man will neglect to repair the
floors of his cattle-stalls until after a valu-
able COW or horse has broken a leg.
1t is claimed that hogs will eat better
and fatten sooner while the owner is look
ing at them.
No good farmer will trust the care of his
stock to q hired man without his personal
supervision.
No wise man will allow his stock to seek
shelter behind a rail fence.
to stop growing for the want of sufficient
food. To make the rearing of young stock
profitable, they should be kept growing
right along, winter and summer.
No wise man viii! sell green barley; In
other words, he will not sell his yearlings
or two-year-olds of either cattle or horses.
No wise man will attempt to winter more
stock han he has feed for. unless he has
money to buy with, and knows where to
get his feed. Neither will he neglect to
fed out. .
No wise man will allow his reaper and
mower to rust and rot in the field where he
last used il. The man who has agricult-
uTdl machinery 10 Sell Will 10 sure tO unu
him out. Likewise the man who has money
to loan at 10 per cent. and on long time
provided the interest is paid promptly.
No wise man will neglect to repair his
fences until after his stock has strayed
away. The loss of one steer may be only
SIS, but even that will pay a hired mans
wages for half q month.
No wise man Will neglect to prepare his
seed until the day he wants to plant or
sow. Neither will he sow any but the best
and the purest seeds.
No wise man will neglect to have his tools
in proper repair and condition until he
wants to 90 to work in the field or garden.
No good farmer will neglect to prepare
MANURE and plant a good kitchen garden
until all his field crops ave been sown or
planted; for out of it he can obtain luxu-
ries which the richest man in the city might
covet, and which often his money cannot
buy. Neither will a wise and considerate
not to say loving-husband expect of or
allow his wife to do all the wedding and
hoeing the garden will require. A fruit
tree needs cultivation as much as a hill of
corn or q cabbage-patch.

No newspaper in the West is moro
widely or more ~favorably known than
the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL. By the
display of enterprise and strict attention
to the wants of the reading public, dur
ing the great campaign of 1888. it has
taken a leading position among the most
prominent journals of the country, and
is certainly among the best. Among the
newspapers of the State it is pre-emi-
nently the best, and Indiana readers can
nowhere else find what they want in the
way of State and local news. 1t circu-
lates largely in every county in Indiana,
and has correspondents in every town
and village of Importance. Its market
reports are prepared with the greatest
care possible, and no pains or expense
are spared to make them accurate aud
absolutely reliable. 1t is the only news
paper in the State owning and publish
ing all the news furnished by the two
great press associations (the Western
Associated Press and the United Press),
in addition to which it furnishes an
abundance of special service from all
the principal cities of the country. Il
has been, and will in future be, the aim
of the publishers to make the INDIANAp-
OILS JOURNAL a perfect and complete
newspaper, deficient in no department.
or particular. The paper challenges
comparison with any of its contempo-
raries.
No Indiana reader, certainly no In
diana Republican, should be without the
Journal. While it is thoroughly and
soundly Republican in politics, devoted
to the interests of the Republican party.
the Journal will not allow its news to
be colored by partisan bias, but will
give the news of the day without fear or
favor.
Owing to the prominence of Indiana
in the national administration, the Jour-
nal gives particular attention to WASH
ington news, which will be given far
more completely than ever before. For
this reason, if for no other, no Indiana
reader can afford to be without it for the
next four years.
In addition to its new features, the
Journal regales it's readers with the
productions of some of the best known
literary men and women of the day.
Many of the most celebrated magazine
writer's and authors are contributors to
its literary columns, making it a paper for
the household and home circle. Special
arrangements have been made for feat
ures of this character, which will appear
in the Journal during the coming year.
These appear most largely in the
SUNDAY JOURNAL, which is a special
edition, and can be subscribed for and
received exclusive of the DAILY
JOURNAL.

Sugars and Produce Generally Weaker In
Tone, with Trade Rather Slow.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 5.
Sugars are weak at the reduced quota
lions of to-day, and further breaks in prices
are indicated. Coffees, in sympathy, are
easy. but not quOtably lower. Teas, and. in
fact. all staple groceries, carry an easy tone;
whether it will develop into a general
break in prices is yet to be seen. The gro
Gerry market for eighteen months past has
been unusually free from fluctuations in
values, but prices on some staples have
been maintained only by the sharpest tao
tics of Eastern dealers. The dry goods
market. except in n few lines. is taking on
an easier feeling. the break in the wool
market East contributing To the unsettling
of matters. Some of the manufacturers are
reported to be carrying large stocks In lines
of woolens which it will be difficult TO dis
pose of to any advantage this season. In
the produce markets only q fair trade is in
progress, with prices ruling weak all along

The Art Amateur SAYS down pillows are
more popular than ever. Formerly one Of
moderate size, covered with plush or en-
broideried satin, and regarded entlrely in
the light of an ornament. was all one ever
saw in a room; butt now their name is
legion. and they are round. and square, and
oblong, and they are made of silk. and vel
vet, and cotton. and ven of grass cloth
over a color, and, what is best of all. they
are for actual use as a rest for the back or
head. or as a cushion to sit upon.
Blue denim embroidered with white
cord. is still popular for pillows, and
Turkey red, with a Melted covering of
heavy white cord, is very effective. These
are properly called yacht pillows, but they
are not confined so such quarters by any
means. and are suited to drawlng-room and
sitting-room alike. provided, of course,
they are in harmony with the general char
acter and color of the room. The large
melon-shaped pillows are made and stuffed
in sections, before being pnt together. and
have for that reason excellent wearing
qualities, it being claimed that they never
get out of shape.

We stand by the proposition
that efforts spent in obtaining the
best, healthiest and most desira-

themselves and sell on their own

CAUGHT IN A SNAKES COILS.
Thrilling Exprices of Il Young Man
I'm North Carolina.

William Hill, a young man who
lives with Mr.. Ransom, Mt Arant,
Union 90, N. g., had an expert,
eLce which he will be likely to
remember for some time. While
walking thrslgh an old field, Mr..
Hill was confronted by large
snake of the coach whip variety.
The snake was within few feet Of
Mr. Hill, with head erect three or
tour feet from the ground.
Giving vent to keen whistle,
it spmng at the young man, and
before Mr.. Hill could resist it en-.
twined itself around his body aud
arms.
Hill could not get his knife, hut
managing to get one hand partially
loose he graspeI the snake aud be-
gan tugging away tor dear lite.
fortunately, his dog was with
him and seeing the peril of his
master came to his reliet. Hill,
with the assistance OF the dog, manS

which then ran up cedar tree a
short distance away.
Hill gathered some stones, and,
going up to within ten feet of the
tree, was preparing to dislodge
the snake with the arguments used
by a certain old gentleman on the
snal boy in his apple tree, but
The snake did not wait Tor Mr..
Hill to renew the battle.
Springin5 from the tree, it made
a second attack upon him, but as
it came Mr.. Hill threw up his arm
and warded it Oft. Before it re,

in breaking the back OF the snake.
Mr., Hill then despatched it, and
measuring it found the snake to be
between Z and s feet long,
