Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers
YEARLY COST OF A cows Ped.


"What is the cost Of feeding cow q year with
a light grain ration" Was the question asked
at a recent meeting Of the AIIegany Farmers
Club. One well-informed farmer estimated it
at $50. His feed was made as follows: Two
tons OF hay at So; pasture for The Summer,
50; and Sc worth OF grain. The value of the
manure pays for the cost of taking care of the
cows and all other expenses. He said that a
COW ought to give profit of $50 year. His
cows paid him S53.45 last year. which included
small allowance for the value of the calves
and for feed for pigs about four months. All
these accounts should be credited to the COW,
but without them his COWS paid him nearly $50
apiece
Another farmer believed in feeding cattle
well, and knew that it paid. He had cow
that since Dec. 5 last had brought in over S5l,
and, besides, he had calf which weighed
about 400 pounds. He fed her hay and grain.
His cows are eight years old and none of them
show any signs Of playing out, his herd look
ing rs we'll As any he ever saw. Ever since he
has been in the business he has fed his cows
we'll, and if that breaks them down he would
like to have his broken down in that way.
The COW in question has given between Eve
and six hundred pounds of milk, and he feeds
her five or six pounds of grain day. He has
another cow which has given over II 900 pounds
Of milk since last May, and she is giving q fair
mess Of milk now. He did not think that there
was anything that injured the cows in feeding
at least, he had not found it so with the Hol-
stems.
There is a good deal Of practical thought in
the above. 1t is practical way of feeding
cows, and we think that it will do no harm for
some of our readers to ponder over il. We are
of the opinion that if cow is stinted in her
feed she will not give the full amount of milk
she Is capable of giving On the other hand,
We do not think that it is good TO overfecd the
cow. The farmer in the above who gave his
cattle full feed gave them enough to allow
them to give all the milk they were capable of
giving but he did not overfeed them. The fine
point is to give them enough to fully develop
their milk organs, but still not to overfeed
them.

THE CABBAGE-WoRM.

VIII you please tell me how many parts Of
-four will mix with Paris green for externi-
mating the cabbage worm?-A SUBSCRIBER,
Kemp. Kaufman Co., Tex.
We would not recommend tho mixture Of
-four and Paris green under any circumstances
for the determination of the cabbage worm.
If we used Paris green at all we would make a
very weak solution, say, half pound Of the
poison to 100 gallons Of water. There are many
other remedies which are as effective as Paris
green, and not poisonous. Persian insect pow
der will kill them, and hot water judiciously
applied has been found to be an effective REM
edy. Another remedy is to take two gallons of
gas tar and mix it with barrel Of water. Give
the worms dose Of this, and they will leave
the cabbage alone. We would advise our cor
respondent to use some of the above remedies
and leave Paris green alone.

HILLS vs. DRILLS IN POTATO CULTURE.
It is usually admitted that the largest yields
are obtained from potatoes planted in drills,
but it is claimed that On account of the cheap
ness Of lands, as compared with the high price
of hand labor, it is more economical to plant in
hills, since this method admits of cultivation
both ways by horse implements, and conse-
quently saves much in hoeing and wedding.
The average of our last years tests gave from
hill planting yield of Sc bushels per acre |;
from drills, 145 bushels per acre. OF the former,
So bushels, and of the latter, 124 were market
able. Previous experiments have resulted
more decidedly in favor of the drill planting
For cultivation, by either method, one careful
hoeing and wedding at least is necessary.
One object of potato culture should be to
clean the soil of all foul stuff thus thor
oughly fitting it for succeeding crop of small
grain. BY the use of a two-horse planter, the
saving of labor will more than compensate for
the extra hsndwork required by the drill me-
thod. BY the use of the modern planters and
diggers potato growing is made much less ex-
pensive than formerly.

Gladstone's selection of some OF
the minor members of the Rad
icals for some of the minor posts in the
government has not menGed the radicai
mistake made in the exclusion of Radical
representatives from the cabinet. The
fact is now universally recognized that
Gladstone carefully avoided admitting to

dependent Radicalism. Gladstone's plans
ems TO overthrow the government are al
ready seen in the formation of the cabinet
committees.
During the two hours sitting today the
council devoted to preparing measures en-
bodying part of the Newcastle programme

in addition to the home rule committee
formed. One is charged with the labor
question, another to draft bills for rural
reform and local option and the third is
charged with reforming the electoral regis
traton.
The Associated Press has high authority
to state that the new government will not
interfere with the completed arrangements

any proposals relating to an alteration of
the monetary system of England. They

Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch
New YORK, Aug. 19.-Charley Johnson
was asked today: Are you not little
anxious over the condition of Suilivan's
feet.n
"Why, no." was the reply. Barring q
couple of blisteas on his heels, his feet are
as sound as any body's. That is common
complaint with men placed in his position
As long as he is doing his regular work it
will take seine time TO effect q cure,
but days let-up, SO to speak, will make
HIM as sound on his underplnnings as he
ever was"
In contrasting his present condition with
that Of the same period when he was train
ing for his fight with Kllrain, johnson
said: "Why, l tell you, honestly, Sulli-
van is a hundred per cent. better man now.
His health is gooo; he is strong, and he is
training faithfully. When John fought
Kilrain there was no one who knew
scales where we stopped, but he did not
go over 2l7 pounds. This time, however,
we can gauge bis weight more accurately.
He Will leave here for the battle ground

pounds 1t will be six days from the time
he enters the train until he makes
his appearance in the ring. Sulli-
van and his party viii leave by special
train over the Delaware, Lackawanna 81

noon OF Sept. /. They are expected to ar
rive in New Orleans on the Saturday
morning following about II o'clock. A
special baggage car will be attached to the
train SO that Sullivan can GO through some
or his gymnasium work that he practiced
at Canoe Place inn"
Ii Suliivan's wishes are considered,
Johnson and Casey will be his main nan-
dlers in the ring Sept. Z. The big fellow,
1t is said, has put this matter very point
edly to johnson. When spoken to upon
the subject today, Johnson said that John
was very anxious that he aud Casey should
be behind him in the ring, and, while he
was undecided about the matter as yet
he could not see why Casey ana himself
should not give him the ssme attention as
any other two men. "ln case OF man ike

there is no man in the world who can do
that. Furthermore, he would not tolerate

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The secretary OF
state today received csblegram from the
United States consul in charge at Constan-
tinople informing him that the house of
DR.. Bartlett, American missionary at
Bourdour. Province of Nonia, Asia Minor,
had been burned and the lives of the mis-
sionaries there are in danger. He believes
that if prompt action is not taken the
houses and lives of the missionaries will be
in serious danger in other places. The
building of DR.. Bartletts residence was
originally stopped by the local authorities,
and permission to complete the same re-
fused unless DR.. Bartlett would furnish
bond or guarantee neither to hold religious
worship nor entrust children on the prem
ises. The legation applied to the sublime
porte for such permission, claiming. the
treaty RICH of Americans extending not
only to the purchase of land but TO the en-
joyment of the same The permit was
finally granted by the sultan and It appears
that Immediately after the receipt of the
permit by the local authorities the house
was burned. Secretary Foster promptly
cabled those in charge to make an urgent
demand for effective protection, indemnity

tainty no longer marks the condition of
things at the seat of war. Fort Anderson
has been relieved and is nc longer in state
OF siege. The tables are turned, and the
miners instead of being hunters are hunted.
General Carnes' forces reached the neigh
borhood of the beleaguered camps at day
break in the rear of the miners rabble On
his arrival
WILD SCENES OF CONFUSION
ensued. Scouts failed to do duty or were
captured, and the position of the miners
was unknown. A forward movement was
cautiously made
General Carnes and his heterogeneous
army of citizens and about three hundred
militia lett the train al Of1its station and
pushed forward across the country from
Oftits to Coal Creek. BY the route taken
it is laborious climbing and as laborious a
descent. AS the column came down the
side of the mountain young man mounted
rock to get view. A
SHOT RANG THROUGH THE Stiffness
and he fell headlong among his comrades,
dead. A body OF miners had chosen a
sheltered rock which formed natural de-
Tense and from it fired the volley which
caused the casualty. Curionsiy enough
the miners had taken no other provision to
prevent a rear attack.
General Carnes' advanced guard at once
formed into charging line and after re-
ceiving q scattering volley from the few
who failed to take the first opportunity Of
escaping, advanced rapidly.
EIGHTEEN MINERS WERE CAPTURED.
Another of the sheriff's posse, besides
young Walthan, was killed, namely, Bosh
Owens of Knoxville Two bodies of dead
miners were found after the skirmish, and
several wounded were taken in and cared
for. With these exceptions the casualties
among the miners are unknown.
General Carnes arrested 200 citizens Of
Coal Creek, and told the miners he would
hold them until Captain Anderson was re-
turned to him. They delivered him to
Carnes alive. Csrnes is in possession and
has plenty of men and ammunition.
