CUTTING rAssE1s FROM CORN.

A decided effect upon the proli6cacy
of corn is produced, AYERS DR.. B. D.
Halstead, by removing the tassels before
they develop far enough to bear the pol
len. This principal of adjustment in
vegetable physiology was well brought
out by experiment at the Ithaca station.
Alternate rows of forty-two hills each
were tasseled and the yields in good ears,
poor ears, abortive ears, merchantable
corn, poor corn, number of stalks and
weight of stalks carefully noted. On
the rows left with tassels the good ears
were 1851; on the same number of hills
with tassels removed the number was
2338, or as 100 to 151 in favor of tassel-
ing. In weight of merchantable corn
the comparative result was almost the
same as for good ears, namely, 100 to
152, and the poor corn was 100 to LA.
1t will therefore be seen that there was
a gain in corn of nearly fifty per cent.
This difference was uniform over all of
the twenty-four pairs of rows. This
outcome is striking and it now remains
to determine if it will pay farmers to
tassel their corn and also what per cent
age of the stalks (for some tassels must
remain) can be treated with profit. As
regards the above experiment, confidence
is expressed that from a commercial
standpoint it paid. Production of pollen
is an exhaustive process, and knowledge
of the ability of plant to turn its cur
rents of nutrition from one place to an
other is, to say the least, gratifying

THE srLo FOR POULTRY.

Hens will eat ensilage. That fact is
well known to those who have used it
for their poultry. If they will eat corn
ensilage they will also eat that made
from grass. In storing ensilage the
wants of the hens should not be over
looked. A large ,hogshead, with green
food pressed down with a pressure suf-
ficient to exclude the air, has been pro-
nounced an excellent method by those
who have tried it, but in using such ma
terials the best results are obtained by
cutting the green food when it is nearly
mature, instead of using that which is
young and watery.-F Farm and Garden.

TIL LOWEST PLACE.

1t is far better to have an humble estimate
of ourselves. The time may come, after
season of self-exultation, when we may be
required to take an humber place. How
much better to occupy the position of the
meek and lowly. for we shall surely some
"Come up higher.v True merit will surely
be recognized. The truly great are more
conscious of their own imperfections, be-
cause they know themselves better than the
world can ever know them. When French
ambassador paid visit to Lord Bacon on
his death bed, he said to the dying man !:
"You are like the angels, of whom we read
and hear much, but have not the pleasure of
seeing them" The curtains had been close
ly drawn around the bed SO that the visitor
could not see the dying philosopher. Bacon
replied, IF the complaisance of others COM
pares me to an angel, my infirmities tell me
1 am man."-[Central Baptist.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
TOMATOES AFTER A PEA CROP.

With care to choose moist time
stocky tomato plants may follow crop
of green peas. If the vines are dried it
is better to pull them than to plow them
under, as they might make the soil too
dry even for tomatoes. Few crops stand
drought better than tomatoes, and they
are less likely to produce dccayed fruit
when the weather is dry. Early tomatoes
cannot be grown after pea crop, but
quite often late tomatoes have as good
sale as any, except the very earliest, and
even green tomatoes are marketable
most years at fair price.-Boston Guilt

TO eEr RID OF RATS.

To Danish rats, take cayenne pepper,
ground to iLe powder, and sprinkle
plenty of it in their holes and runways.
It is an elegant article for keeping rats
out of place when you have once got
them out. It operates by creating vio-
lent disturbance in their breathing appa-
ratus. Bon't be afraid of putting too
much In their holes. Apply it literally,
and remember it nust be ground exceed

For Mounting Hens.

Many people have learned by experience
that Sheridan's Condition Powder given
once daily in the food, will supply the needed
material to strengthen and invigorate sick
chickens or moulting hens and get the
young pullets to laJin earlier than any
thing else on earth. Mrs. Edwin Brown,
East Greenwich. R. l., says: II could not
do without Sheridan's Condition Powder
when hens are moulting. / use it when
chickens are small as they often droop and
die young To pint of clabbered milk,
add teaspoonful of the Powder, mix well
and let the chicks eat all they will once
day; it does seem to be just what they need;
they soon become vigorous" l. S. johnson

The smallest is the best

The smallest is the best
in pills, other things being equal.
But, with DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
let's, nothing else is equal. They're
the best, not only because they're
the smallest, and the easiest to take
but because they do more good.
They cleanse and regulate the liver,
stomach and bowels in a way the
huge, old fashioned pill doesn't
dream of. Think of trying to regu-
late the system with the ordinary pill.
It's only good for upsetting it.
These are mild and gentle-but
thorough and effective, no pain-no
gripping. One little pellet for laxa-
tive-three for a cathartic. The
best Liver Pill known. Sick Head
ache, Bilious Headache, Constipa-
ton, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks
and all arrangements of the liver,
stomach and bowels are prevented,
relieved and cured.
Put up in sealed vials-a perfect
vest-pocket remedy, always conven-
lent, fresh and reliable.
They're the cheapest pill you can
buy for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-
turned. It's a plan peculiar to DR..
Pierce's medicines.
You pay only for the good you
get. Can you ask more?

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 1.-Reports wer e
current here yesterday of an attack by white
men at the Galloway mines on the negroes
who have been put to work during the recent
strike Efforts made by telegraph to Sc
cure confirmation of the reports proved
futile. The only answer obtainable was that
a negro had been killed by white man in
self defense and that the reports were in
correct. 1t seems possible from later de-
velopments that the correspondents were in
timidated. This morning Colonel Clark, Sec
ond regiment, received orders from Governor
Jones to put fifty men of local companies
under arms in readiness to proceed to Carbon
hill, near the Galloway mines.
In the absence of Clark Captain Randolph
Peyton, Birmingham rifles, assumed com
mand. Twenty-Five men from the rifles and
a like number from the volunteers were as
sembled. AT O'Clock this afternoon a tele-
gram was received from the governor order
ing them to proceed to Carbon Mill. Not a

mon, after an absence of a few weeks from
the city, returned last night, and upon en-
tering her door stumbled over the dead body
of her husband, John Timon, lying in the
hall in pool of blood. His death is mys-
terry, as there is no visible marks of vio-
lence on his body except a confusion on
the face. The bedroom up stairs
showed signs of struggle. A mar
bic slab was broken, as were the wash bowl
and pitcher. How he got down stairs from
his bed no one knows, as he was the only
occupant of his house at the time When
found he had on his night shirt and the bed
showed that he had been in 1t. The opinion
prevails that he was sandbagged and killed
by burglars while attempting to make his
escape through the front door, but a post
mortem may reveal otherwise. He is one of
the weathlest stock men of southwest Texas,
and enerally carried considerable money on
his person. He was last seen on Wednesday.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-William Brown, the
demented young son of Henry Eyre Brown,
the organist of the Rev. DR. r. Dewitt Tai
mages tabernacle, in Brooklyn, made de-
termined attempt to commit suicide on
Thursday afternoon by flinging himself
through the window OF q room on an upper
floor of his fathers residence, on Clinton
place, near Grand avenue, that city. He
was caught in time to prevent his falling to
the street, but was badly cut by the window
glass through which he crashed. Young
Browns mental trouble is said to be
due to the excessive use of cigarettes,
a statement borne out by his sickly appear
ance. So bad did ne become that it was
found necessary to confine him in the in
sane asylum at Flatbush Treatment at this
institution seemed to so far benefit him that
a short time ago he was discharged as cured.
He returned to his fathers house, but, al
though pronounced WE'LL was kept under
watch lest his mhlady should return. On
Thursday afternoon the result feared by the
family occurred The young man was
with his father on the ground floor
of the house, Suddenly he arose and dashed
from the room up the stairs TO the sitting
room, on the top floor, where his mother was
at the time, Without word he rushed TO
the window and plunged his head and
shoulders through the glass. His mother
seized him by the feet and struggled

whom informed Policeman Walker, who was
on duty some distance away, The latter

LINCOLN, Ncb, Feb Especial to THE
BEE. An extensive canvass among men,
bers of the house indicates that The bill re-
moving the state bounty of cent per pound
from beet sugar Will pass.
The law was enacted at the last session OF
the legislature. No appropriation, however,
was made for the payment of the bounty
The state now owes for over seventy thous-
and pounds and an appropriation for this pur-
pose, to avoid reputation, must be made this
year.
The Independents seem to be almost unan-
imous in opposition to the bounty Even tho
Hall county delegation opposes it. They say
the factory can only give permanent work
say to half dozen persons, while the Others
may work at most 100 days In year. Last
year the manufacturers only paid $3.50 a ton
for beets, when the latter can scarcely be
raised for s. If n ton of beets yields $40
pounds OF sugar the govern ment pays the
OXnards n bounty of 81. So the state pays o
bounty of 81 40, making a total of $40. The
sugar Is controlled by one firm Of wholesale
dealers, who sell IL to retailers in Ne
braSka at the same rate as II the sugar
were brought from the West Indies. The
Grand Island concern has an option on 900
acres of land. On this ground, 1t can raise
all the bcets needed IL will be cultivated
with improved machinery. II will be near
the factory. Farmers with wives and
chlldrens' hands and living miles away
cannot compete 1t is recognized that the
beet sugar factory is a thing the state ought
to have. If the bounty should be removed,
and the price of beets raised say to 81 or S3
per ton, living for family could be made
on 10 acres instead of $50 with corn as IL
now required. This would also tend TO make
this population compact. These alliance
people however, say that at present this
desiration cannot be reached. The projectors
got everything, the farmers nothing. They
knock out any takers who may get up
against them on this subject.
