NEGRO LYNCHED.
seay j. Miller. believed to Have Out
ragged and KILLED Two White
Girls Hanged In Ken

At Bardswell, Kentucky, Seay J. Miller,
the negro charged with the outrage and muir
der Of Mary and Ruby Ray, was hanged Fri
day afternoon and the body burned after be-
ing horribly mutIiated. The negro made a
speech proclaimIng his innocence, but it is
said he afterwards made a partial confession.
The crime with which Seay was charged
was a terrible one. The girls, IL and l6 years
old, went out in the woods near their home
to pick berries. Their mother hearn a scream
and went out to what was the matter.
Both girls had been outraged and their
throats had been cut. A blue coat was the
chief clue to the murderer He was trailed
across the river into Illinois. There Seay
was captured as the man and brought back
by an excited throng OF men. II was at first
the intention of the mob to burn him at the
stake, but the father of the girls opposed it,
and he was hanged. His body was afterward
mutilated and burned. The evidence that he
was the right man was quite strong.

WILL THE ANTI-OPTION BILL
PASS?

The Capltall5tlC press, IN the interests
OF option dealing. is COngratulaJing
Itself by the statement that the Anti
Option bill Will not pass. 1t is claimed
that the opponents OF the bill, meaning
the gamblers, we suppose, have been
extremely busy since the adjournment
Of Congress, and are now III position
to scOEch It's progress when the measure
comes up at the next session of Con
gress. How true this ma prove we
do not know, but we do know that the
people, and especially the farmers,
have not been sleeping during the ap-
parent quietuda of summer, says the
Western RUruL and StOckm0n.
The Farmers Alliance and other
farm societies have been marshalling
their forces, and unless our Senators
retreat from their favorable position,
which was quite manifest, at the close
Of the late session, and prove them
solves TO be a lot Of imbeciles and
towards, the bill will pass by a large
majority. Congress Is again in session
and the time for prompt action is at
hand. Every farmers organization
should petition their Senators, urging
the passage OF the measure and do it
promptly. We have been energetic in
the work from the beginning. Several
editions Of The RuraLcontalning strong
editorials marked, were sent to each
member Of both houses during the past
session. About fifty kilograms and
hundreds Of letters went from this
office addressed to the doubtful mem
bers asking that the wishes Of the great
mass of the producers might be granted,
and their interests protected. The
Rural will continue to prosecute the
just cause of the farmers as embodied
In the reforms which 50 materially
affect their present and future welfare.
Will the wide awake tillers OF the soil
do their duty by granting their support
to the wise measures which will be
presented for enactment into laws in
Congress, and the State legislatures
during the present winter?

WHEAT CULTURE.
Causes of Poor Crops-Suggestions
About Marketing.

Sowing foul seed is one prime cause
of sorry crops, according to a writer
in Ohio Farmer, who expresses the fol
lowing opinions: eff all the foul seeds
with our wheat were harvested to shem-
selves and measured it would surprise
most farmers Yet this Is not all, for
1t costs as much to SOW and reap this
foul growth, bushel for bushel, as 1t
does the wheat, and robbed the soil of
as much fertility. and, moreover, 1t
must be got out from among the wheat
or made inferior -four, which will add
another cost TO the crop.
"A proper preparation Of the soil is
too much neglected by most farmers,
and this adds another cause for poor
crops. The thorough preparation Of
the soil before sowing Is more neCes
sary for whe t than most any other
crop. All we can do to insure q good
crop eHGs with the sowing Of the seed.
Cultivated crops may be planted on a
poorly prepared soil and by after cult
walton the soil put in order. But this
cannot be done with a wheat crop.
Moreover, the greatest enemy of the
wheat crop is the freezing and thawing
Of winter, and a we'll prepared, com
pact seed bed enables the wheat to root
down in the solid earth and be less
liable to be thrown out Of the ground,
and the very fine, mellow surface
pushes a quick growth, enabling the
plant to grow sufficient blade to fur
nish protection to the root, But an
Improvement in the seed bed would
| not only 90 all this, which would in
crea e the yield in the end, but would
require less seed, which would go into
the thousands of bushels saved, and
counting up profits it will DO found
| more in what we save than in what we
make.
Another reason for poor crops is
the farmers lands are growing thin
from excessive cropping and they 90
| not manure their land in any way. If
| the farmers would manure their land
literally with good stable manure or
SOW clover they would greatly increase
their yield.
Another point [ wish to suggest to
the reader is the marketing of their
wheat. [ believe many Of our farmers
sell their wheat at a disadvantage, and
believe many times twenty five cents
more might be realized by having
their wheat made into -four and sell it
and feed the bran to their stock, and
| thus a good portion of the fertility
would be returned to the soil. A little
| additional cost for q better quality of
seed, a little more work in preparing
| the soil, the more liberal use Of good
manure, will to the farmer an
increased yield Of wheat, and thus
greatly enhance the profit Of wheat
| growing"

ECONOMY IN FEEDING ANIMALS.
A Farmers Conclusion Derived from
Practical Experience.

Where corn is one Of the staple crops
it will always be largely used as food
for stock; indeed, it is a question II
anything can take its place Qn connec-
ton with the grasses) in the prOduc-
ton of pork and beef. With we'll bred
hogs zen and eleven pounds of pork can
be made from a bushel of corn, and on
a good grade steer 100 bushels of corr
properly fed to him will increase his
weight 400 pounds and in addition
make 300 pounds Of pork from the
waste. Such is the experience of Mr.,
Joshua Wheeler, who, in a paper read
before the Kansas State Board Of Agri
culture, further said:
We think it is good economy IN feed
lug steers and hogs to give them the
run Of a tame grass pasture-clOver
and timothy. We have never tried
what is called summe feeding OF
steers, but we have found hat the
best grains are made in the early part
of the season Where the animals
have plenty Of grass IN connection
with their corn, pork can'be made at a
less cost from May to September where
the swine have the rungOf a good clover
field.
The Importance of plenty Of good
grass in the raising and feeding of
stock cannot be Overestlmated. The
value of clover in the production of
pork we have already referred to.
Good, wellcured hay IS just as impor
tant for the economical winterlng of
stock. For milk COWS good, bright,
we'll cured clover is Of great value.
Nothing we have ever tried in the
shape of fodder is equal to it in the pro
duction of milk. We believe that stock
cattle a be brought through winter
in good condition on good timothy and
clover hay and good cOrn fodder, with
but very little grain; hence we con-
slider it the best of economy for the
stOckman to spare no p .ins in securing
his hay crop. We believe it would pay
better to plant fewer ere of corn SO
as to give more time to secur the crop
Of hay.
We consider oats and wheat bran
valuable and economical for stock.
There is no better ration for horses,
milk COWS and calves than cOrnmeal,
ground oats and wheat bran in equal
parts. This alton will cost less than
corn and oats fed without grinding.
Oae hundred pounds of wheat bran Is
worth as much for feeding as three
bushels of oats. These figures show
quite a saving III the use of bran. A
! good ration for horses not working too
hard is equal parts of cornmeal and
bran. This is also good feed for milk
COWS and calves. Ali the straw raised
upon the farm q be used to good ad-
vantage in the feeding Of stock. Good,
bright oat straw is Of equal value to
prairie hay. The wheat straw can be
used to good advantage as bedding. If
it is cut at the proper time it can be
eaten very we'll by stock cattle.
Corn fodder cut at the right time
and properly cured, Mr.. Wheeler
classed among the best feeds for stock
cattle, buthe deplored the too common
habit Of turning stock into q ielA. Of
cOrnstalks.

RAISING TREES FROM SEED.

Eds Country Gentleman Il have
been thinking for some time that I
would send you q description of my
way of raising trees from seed, of
which [ have very many on my place,
both fruit, nut and ornamental.
In the spring, as early as the ground
can be worked, I have q bed prepared
as large as [ think will be required to
raise all the trees [ shall want to grow
that season. The soil is spaded as deep
as it can be done; then with it is thor
Oughly mixed one-third good we'll
rOtted stable manure and one third
pure sand. After being raked yer
and all humps taken off, I smooth the
bed with the back of the rake, and
mark eff the bed in rows about ten
inches apart, making the marks just
light enough to so by; then SOW the
seed thinly, and as evenly as possible,
pressing the rows smooth as ! go Ove
them. which is all the covering they
need. then give the bed a thorough
watering with a watering-pot, After
it has settled, | cover the bed with
narrow boards, laying them north and
south, Just 80 that the plants will re-
ceive the early morning and late even
ing sun.
The boards are raised from the bed
four or five inches, and as the seedlings
grow. are raised high enough to let in
Air and sun morning and evening until
n plants are large enough to bear the
all .day sun. The bed is kept moist all
the time by watering in the evening,
h1t not SO wet as to drown out the
Young plants The bed is thoroughly
worked over as often as required to
kpap the weeds down and the earth
loose.
When the little trees are one year
old-that Is. the next spring. set
them out in rows, far enough apart to
be cultivated between, setting the trees
about one foot apart in the row, and
keeping them free from weeds and the
earth we'll stirred all summer. The
little trees will be ready for setting out
in the fall where they are to remain
permanently, Dr. they can rem.in in
the rows until spring and then be re-
moved. But if the fall should prove
favorable, l prefer setting them out
then, as the earth gets settled around
the roots through the winter months
and the little trees are ready to start
growing when the spring opens, per-
haps weeks before the earth is in g.
condition to be worked, as it |
will not GO to set out young trees in a |
wet sOdden Garth or mud puddle. The
earth should be kept stirred and the
trees kept free from weeds and grass |
at least the first season.. II. W1n0.

GOVERNMENT AND RAILROADS.

Let us apply a little "h)rse sense "
to this railroad question. 1t IS just
the same as they used TO do with
planked and graveled roads. Some
corporations wOuld secure a charter to
build a road and everybody who tray
eled the road would have to pay toll.
Thanks to the progress of public o2in-
ion, such a thing is impossible today
and people own their own highways.
Let US go on a step further: Rail
roads have taken the place Of plank
roads and the people r paying toll.
They are public highways just the
same as the plank roads used to be and
fully as essential for modern travel as
the old stage route on the plank roads
They have the right Of public domain
which in many instances has am united
to con6scation. The question arises,
what shall we do with them? The only
solution is: make them public high
ways The Sentry.
