The colored population OF Lexington,
or some of tits in a state of unnecessary
Indignation, and all because the school
board has determined to repair the old
First ward school house and dedicate it to
the purpose of teaching the young color
ed idea how to shoot. The trouble seems
to be that the school building is located
too far away from the eastern portion OF
the town. and the complaint is that pupils
have to walk too far. Such complaint as
this is idle. The school board has doubt
less done the best it could and cannot now
change its well matured plan; and should

been suffering from necrosis of the small
bone of the right leg. An operation was
had before Col, Jones moved to Missouri,
but the disease continued. Last Thursday
DR.. HALEY, of Kansas City, came to Lex
ington to examine the case. He at once
determined upon another operation, and
assisted by Drs. Fulkerson, Cameron and
Chambers, severed about six inches of the
diseased bone. Young Jones stood the
operation like a hero, and is now doing

There is Il man i'm Lexington who is II
genuine queer. He is small OF statue,
though he looks to be past middle age.
He is dressed in an ld-fashioned silver
bronze suit, Nickerbocker coat, knee
brooches, etc, and wears a broad brimed
hat with n long feather in it. He carries
II long, metal staff, generally holding it
firmly with both hands. In n pocket he
seems to always have with him, is Il met
al brush. Now if you take this brush and
rub his hat with it while pressing your
fingers against one of his bare arms or
cheek you feel an electric shock tingling
through your nerves like the sensation
experienced when handling the poles of
an electric battery. This queer little old
man may be seen about the post Office at
almost any hour of the day, and is quite
harmless. The boys all seem to enjoy his
company, although he has a shocking
way of furnishing any little trick they try
to play on him. Sometimes one of them
will dip the old mans brush in a little
alcohol, and then while holding his hands
rub it against his nose. But no soone
does the rubbing begin thar the alcohol
is iguited, and the boys can light their
cigarettes in the flame.

Young Meat tho oheapest.

While pound of pork may bs
made with 2l5 pounds of dry food in n
pig weighing 100 to '17O pounds ut six
months old, four times as much food is
needed to produce pound of beef dur
ing the second year of steers life.
Some of the most successful feeders
in the country agree that no profit can
be made in beef after steer is ~
years old, because the cost of produc-
tion increases rapidly with the growth
of the animal The food OF support is
a heavier tax on feeder so months old
than on one only "a. Steers that have
been well cared for until years old
may weigh IL to Is bundredweight
and the beef carcass seven to nine
times the ,eight of the marketable
hog has to be supported Many farm-
ers feed steers to three years old or
over that 10 not attain to more than
IL to l6 nundI sdweight This shows
how great u the loss sustained from
the food of support during the third
year. The food required to make l
pound of beef makes TO pounds OF
pork if fed during the first sin months
during the life of the hog. --JaInes
Cheesman, IN Farra and Home.

Don't stuff the Hens.

The capacity of hen is limited. If
you clog the machinery it will not
work we'll If you fill her with food
that is unsuitable she will only store
up the surplus, waiting for the sub
stances that are necessary to complete
the product, and in SO doing she does
not lay. Food that is unbalanced will,
of course, be readily eaten, but nature
cannot be cheated. The excess will be
voided and wasted; or if it abounds in
the heat-producing element (the cheap
est and most easily procured), she has
the power to convert it into fat, which
is an obstruction to laying; but when
her ration is balanced, she is compeded
to lay eggs, because she cannot store
up supply in any manner over and
above the requisite amount required
for the eggs. Farm and Fircside.

BILL AGAINST BUGS.
An Experience Showing the Partially of
Ducks for Potato Beetles.

An Experience Showing the Partially of
Ducks for Potato Beetles.
Several seasons ago, writes a cor
respondent to Insect Life, my potato
field was almost ruined because l could
not use paris green, as my stock was in
danger from it. A large pond of water
attracted twenty of my neighbours
ducks to it's shore. | never did fancy
ducks very much and [ told him so.
He said he would give them to me if
could care for them, as he could not
keep them at home. The next morn
ing l went down to the pond at sunrise
to try and drive said ducks into pen.
| saw very curious sight. Headed by
an old drake, the twenty ducks were
waddling off in bee line for my po-
tato field. crawled into some bushes
and waited developments AS they
came to the end of the rows they
seemed to deploy right and left, and
such shoveling in of bugs l never be.
held. They meant business, and for
fully one-half hour did they continue,
until every duck was filled up to its bill
with bugs. Then Mey went for the
pond, and went for their owner and
paid him one dollar for the entire
bunch-this being all he would accept.
This expedition was repeated about
four p m, and kept up until every bug
went under. | have tried these ducks
and others since, and find they all like
them and get fat on potato bugs.
