while many Of the clerks of this department
were from civil life and had by political infu-
ence secured these places . very considerable

AS A MEASURE OF DEFENSE
against the sparrow it has been suggested that
there be employed in each town or village at
least one person who shall act as a professional
sparrow killer. Cities and towns are the nurss-
ries of sparrows and will serve to furnish the
surrounding country, no matter how industri-
ously the farmer may shoot them. For killing
made especially for bird collectors, since thew
make very little noise, and the small amount Of
powder and fine shot employed prevents dam
age. Recommendation has been made that
premiums shall be offered for the largest num-
Der of sparrows killed within given districts
within q specified time. The birds may be
easily driven from their roosting places by
disturbing them ON several successive
nights. An efacacious method ia to throw
winter upon them while at roost, with hose il
certs the old birds and kills the young, but ct
the same time does much good by washing the
filth out Of the vines. In many parts of Europe,
where constant warfare Is waged against the
bird. clubs are formed for the purpose of kill
ing sparrows. In some cases each member of
such club il bound to present the secretary
with the heads of a certain number Of sparrows
each year or pay fine, and the fines collected
are used - bounties or prizes for the members

Senator Hearst,s STABLES.

New YORK, March 4.-Since the death
of Senator Hearst there has been much
speculation as to the probable disposition
of his racing horses and valuable stud,
and the betting has been five to one that
his stable would be sold. Trustworthy
news was received here last night that
once again the talent has been wrong in
its conclusion, for it is asserted that
William r. Hearst, the senator's son,
will not only maintain the present sta
BILE and that the twenty head of stock at
Sheepshead bay will fulfill all engage
1nents which have been made, but he
will also establish a new stud ranch in
Baricoa, N. NJ, from which he will re-
coup from year to year his stock of racers
Joseph Clark, the well known horseman,
is now at the San Simeon ranch in CAL,
selecting for the principle races this year
rev blood and new surprises. Also the
pick of the stock is to be taken to Baricoa.
1t is said Mr.. Hearst simply consents to
continue the existence of his fathers
stable because to sell now would mean a
sacrifice, and with proper care it is sure
to prove good investment.

Early Matching is necessary to success
in the poultry yard. Now, as warmth
is requisite for rearing early chickens,
provident poultry keepers have made
provisions for securing the same. The
hens are provided with dry houses, well
sheltered from east winds, in which to
set, and are punctually fed and watered.
The chicks may be saved by farmers and
ordinary poultry keepers who do not use
incubators by the use of artificial brood
ers. These latter, unlike the incubat-
ors, may be employed by any one who
exercises average common sense in their
management. The newly Matched chicks
are taken from the nest as soon as out of
the shells and placed in the brooder,
where they are kept until the brood is
all out. The hen and chicks are then
placed in q warm glazed coop, and there
kept until strong enough to look out for
themselves
The principal conditions necessary to
success in brooders are plenty of fresh
air and sufficient heat to prevent the
chicks from crowding Some brooders
are warmed by tanks or pipes of hot
water. The hot water may DO supplied
by an ordinary stove water back" or
by coil of pipe in stove. A well sus-
tanned heat of about 80 degs. is essential
for the first week, as a chill is fatal.
After that time the temperature may be
lowered to about 20 degs, In severe
weather it is necessary to keep the chick
ems within doors until about three weeks
old. In ordinary weather they may be
allowed a run fenced in with small mesh
wire netting and connecting with
warm, dry and well protected coop.
Chickens Matched out of season ought to
be fed with great punctuallty. Corn
should also be given to them very early
in the morning and very late in the day.

Asr1-PARNELL1rEs GLOOMY.
The Success of the s.Uncrowned King
Seems Inevitable.

LONDON, March 3.-The inevitable
triumph of Parnell is causing much
searching of heart mong the liberals.
1t is beginning to be darkly whispered
that Gladstone's action was hasty and
his letter imprudent, and, in fact, if the
party could hark back to the eve of the
verdict in the divorce suit it would leave
the member for Cork alone. The sug-
gestion that home rule be dropped is re-
garded as impossible. Its effect would
be to drive the Irish vote in England
over to the conservatives and make the
liberals certain of losing the next general
election. 1t is not surprising that in the
circumstances suggestions are already
ahoat that terms must after all be made
with Parnell. If Gladstone becomes
convinced that Parnell is going to carry
the Irish people with him he will dis
cover some means of reforming an
alliance with the gentlemen whom two
months ago he ordered about his bust
ness. Anti-Parnellites are becoming
faint-hearted. They are finding out that
Ireland is going with Parnell and some
thing like a panic reigns in the party.
With one exception all the gentlemen
named for the American mission have
declined

A RACE WAR IMPENDING.

Danger That Negroes and Whites May
Have Serious Trouble in Oklahoma.
OKLAHOMA CRY, March 5.-The race
question is assuming serious phases in
Oklahoma Territory, and the continued
agitation, which the subject is raising is
more than likely to result in a collision
between the whites and blacks. Dur
ing the last six months, negroes have
been f1ocking into the territory by hun
dreds, in response to glittering induce
ments held out by unscrupulous real es-
tate dealers, who laid out mythical
town near Guthrie.
Negroes arriving are destitute and suf-
fering from severe cold, but the worst
feature of the case is the fact that new
arrivals have brought the smallpox
with them and the disease is spreading
and the newspapers have openly de-
clared a quarantine against the blacks.

How to subade weeds.

One important point in keeping farm
clear from weeds is to see that these
germs are not imported in purchased
seeds. Weeds are often introduced by
the farmers own animals. Horses that
have been fed at the town stables, and
cattle that have been allowed to forage
on the highways, may each be the means,
of bringing obnoxious weeds onto the
farm For the hoed crops clean cultiva
ton is the anridote. Cut the weeds off
at the surface of the ground at time
when they are at their best-that is, at th..
time of Towering aud before the seed has
grown sufficient to germanate. This Is
the best method of dealing with seeds
where they have become pest in mead
ows and pastures. In the latter sheen
are very efficient weed destroyers, as
they will browse closely many varieties
that cattle will not touch
Unless rich ground is closely covered
with useful plants it is quite certain to
produce weeds. Nothing surpasses clover
for smothering weeds. IF sown thickly,
and stock Is kept off from it after the
moving, SO that some of the seed from
the second crop will be scattered, it will
gain complete possession of the field, to
the exclusion of weeds.

Neither was hurt. The young men
