A few nights ago the Cincinnati police
force had pretty busy lime suppress
ing a negro riot. 1t appears that the ne
groes of the town, assisted by Others on
the Kentucky side of the river, made ar
rangements for a grand 'possum ball"
and chittling supper. Everything went
well until midnight, when some one dis
covered that a dozen 'possums baked for
the occasion had been stolen, and then
every negro who had anything like a
greasy spot around his lips was assault
ed with razors and before the police
could quell the riot twenty or more men
had been slashed almost to death.

STOCK AND FARM.

Topeka Capital; A cattleman said:
"Western breeders Of dairy cattle have
good reason to feel proud of the great
showing made at the worlds fair by @.
F. Stones herd of Holsteins from Pea
body. Some of the cows in the herd
surprised people who did not know
them by capturing all the best premiums
at the Kansas, Iowa and Illinois state
fairs last season. Last week in the Hol-
stein exhibit at Chicago the younger
animals caught the pace set the year
before and walked away with more pre-
miums in proportion to the number Of
animals shown than any other herd. Mr.,
Stone was fortunate in buying prize
winners for his foundation stock, but he
is raising others that are as good or
better. The promise is now that his
herd will soon be the best in the coun-
try and that it will enforce recognition
as such. This will be only less to the
credit of Kansas livestock interests in
general than to that Of the breeder
whose skill built up the herd"
Kansas City, Mo-, Journal; The man
ner in which hogs are coming to market
now indicates good crop in the coun-
try. Not only are many more hogs be-
ing marketed now than this time last
year, but their quality is unusually good.
Chicago, last week, had 10000 more
hogs than the same week last year, Kan
sas City, Kas., $4,000 more, and Omaha,
%, 500 more, while st. Louis reported
1000 less. Net gain at these four mar
kets, 1880. And if the old adage is to
hold good this year that plenty Of corn
means plenty of hogs, the gain in the
receipts must continue and be even
greater in the months to come than those
that have Just passed

Drought and Corn.l

Corn is never injured by drought.
early in the season II the ground has
been properly prepared But there is
a critical time when it is silking dur
ing which too much or too little rain
often proves very destructive. If a
rainy spell occurs just then the pol
len from the tassels is washed off and
the silk is not fortified. That means
a deficiency Of kernels and late ripen-
ing. 1t is curious fact that corn
ears not ferUilized do not harden and
the grain on them is usually soft
when ears that have a full set of
kernals are fully ripened and glazed.
The other extreme Of injury by
drought more often results in the
tips OF the ears being defective. This
shows that dry weather has spoiled
either the latest silk st the end of
the ear or the pollen from the tas-
sell A plentiful supply of suckers.
with tassels that blossom later will
often make the corn on the main
stalk fully rounded to the end with
kernels. Thus the suckers may add
materially to the crop while not
themselves producing any ears

scantling with one end under a stud
reaching to the shed plate and tenn
porarily nailed in place. The barrel
to be headed forms the fulcrum. Be
careful not to press the apples too
hard, A reader of the Journal quoted
says that the best apples of the season
in Bucks County were brought out Of
milk vault Feb 7, 1892. They
were Fallawaters, OF a rich yellow
color with characteristic shading.
They were remarkable for size, but
more remarkable for their perfect
preservation. Compared with apples
kept in the cellar Of the same house
they were in far better order The
inference is that the deeper milk
vault maintained a more uniform
temperature. The vault had a small
ventilator direct to the open air.
The temperature as near as could be
ascertained was about So degrees.

Starting a Nursery.

There are many opportunities Of
making profitable business in the
growth of fruit and ornamental trees
in all rural localities. To be able to
procure trees near by is an object for
every planter as the trees may be
had the day they are planted, and
the fisk of injury and mistakes in the
varieties are escaped. The method
to be followed is first to select a piece
of good land, and SOW seeds Of the,
trees, or procure cuttings of those
grown that way. The young trees
are then grated, and cultivated as a.
crop Of corn is, until they are old
enough for sale, which is when two
or three years old. If the best kinds
for the locality are selected, and the
trees are grown with care they may
be sold with excellent profit at half
the prices charged by the peddler
The most profitable kinds of trees are
evergreens, which are so bulky as to
cost too much for transportation to
sell we'll unless they can be procured
close to home. A plantation of young
pines, spruces, and other evergreens.

Profit in AgrIcuIture.

In order to secure profit from the
crops produced upon the farm, there
are several points that must be OBJ.
served and these are in the line Of
direction of reducing the cost of pro-
duction, says the Germantown Tele-
graph. When a crop of any kind is
worth no more than the cost of pro-
duction, nothing has been gained.
But the cost Of production may be re-
duced in different ways; first, in the
proper blowing Of the land, or rather,
in the preparation Of the soil for the
seed. Entire pulverization is an i'm
portant element in successful cultures;
without this, there may be a loss in
lack of termination of seed, and there
certainly will be required more labor
in the subsequent cultivation and
with imperfect seeding the crops will
be reduced. THIS, then, should be
avoided, as it may be, by the exercise
of proper care and the use of suitable
implements in preparing the soil.
With we'll pulverlzed soil seeds
coMe in contact with it and the
moisture it contains and termination
is complete. But this brings US to
a second consideration, and that, the
quantity of seed; if soil is capable
of carrying to maturity full crop of
any kind, if the seed is so poor or i'm
mature as that only two-thirds or
one-half will terminate, then there is
loss, and for thatreason only the
very best seed should be used so that
the chances of full germinat on may
be of the best. A third means Of in
creasing crop and hence the profits,
is by using an abundance of fertility
and Of a character to insure success
1t cannot pay to plant crops in poor
soil for the reason that the yield will
be lighG while the labor will remain
about the same as for heavy crop
Another consideration is an appliCa-
ton of fertilizers in a manner and
at time best adapted TO the wants
of the crop being grown. The re
ouirements of different crops vary in
this direction and a course that would
be advantageous to oPe crop would
avail nothing when applied to some
other. Still another point to be OBJ
served is reducing the cost Of pToduc-

The other night couple of two
legged brutes pounded each other in
the livestock pavilion on the Worlds
Fair grounds for the ediacation of
two hundred plug-ugly spectators
and a purse of $500. There are those
who hold that such an exhibit ought
not to have place in the Exposition.
But two nights previous to this prize
fight several thousand men, women,
and children assembled on the banks
of the south lagoon to witness the
sun dance of the Quackahl Indians,
an exhibition in which the dancer
after becoming frenzied by his exer-
tions, tortures himself in a most hor-
rible manner in order to prove his
bravery. There are those who believe
that this exhibit also ought not to
have a place at the Worlds Fair.
But, strange to say, those who wit
messed one Of these performances,
with every appearance Of delight and
interest and enjoyment, could not be
hired for any sum to witness the
other. But from the standpoint Of
humanity, and decency, and moral
ity, and common sense, what is the
difference between the two?

A MAN with broken neck is lying
in a New York hospital waiting for
death. His injury came from diving
into the water from a sprlng-board,
The water was but few feet deep,
and his friends supposed that ais
head struck the bottom, but the ply
stefan expresses the belief that his
neck was broken when he struck the
water. This theory will be accepted
as plausible, at least by persons who
have looked upon diving from points
high above the water as a risky
business. Water has a strong resist
ing power, and though the hands
clasped above the divers head are
expected to break the force Of con.
tact, the head must meet with resist
ance that slight change of position
might make dangerous. In support
of the opposite position 1t must be
acknowledged that men have jumped
from the Brooklyn bridge to the
water below without serious hurt.

Topeka Capital: The Shawnee County
horticultural society held it's monthly
meeting at the place Of E. MARBLE about
five miles northeast of tho city. The
meeting proved to BIO very interesting
and profitable one, in many particulars.
The subject Of grape culture in Kansas
was up for discussion, O. A. Sexton,
Thomas Buchanan, the editor of the
Kansas Farmer, and others were heard
in the discussion. 1t seemed to be the
sense Of many that grape culture in this
state could be made more paying bus
mess than it now is, by pressing the
grape and bottling the juice to keep it
sweet, This was advocated by Mr..
Sexton. In this way grapes could be
made to yield from to cents per
pound instead of 2 or 3 cents. There
were about 200 of Shawnee county's pro-
gressive farmers and business men pres
ent. A good dinner was served, and
the discussion took place in the after
noon.
From Oswego; Three men, one masked,
held up Frisco passenger train No. 2, at
Mound Valley, Kan, at 1913 o'clock
in the morning, shot and instantly killed
Express Messenger Charles A Chapman,
robbed nearly all of the passengers and
escaped, Mound Valley is little sta
ton only fifteen miles from the Indian
territory line, The bandits are now
probably safe within that retreat of out
laws. Messenger Chapman had left his
car, whether to escape or to notify the
passengers will never be known, for he
had gone but few yards when he was
discovered by the outlaws upon the en-
CINE, who opened fire upon him. Only
two shots were fired, but one ball from
Winchester crashed into his brain and
he staggered and fell beside the track,
dead. Then the outlaws commanded the
engineer to pull out and run until he
was told to stop. One mile and half
down the road he was told to check up,
and dismounting, the men proceeded to
rob the train. In killing Chapman they
had shut themselves out of the Wells
Fargo safe, however, for it was locked
and successfully resisted their blows
with the coal pick. Fooled in their at
tempt to loot the safe the bandits turned
their attention to the passengers. With
the exception of those in the sleeper, ev-
cry man and woman was robbed. Money,
watches, jewelry, hats, coats, and even a
bottle of whisky was taken. 1t is esti-
mated that fully$1, 900 in cash and val
uables was secured.

Water for Hogs.

Hogs are more often sufferers from
lack of good water than any other
stock. The milk they eat curdles in
their stomach, and then It's caseine
does not look so much like drink as.
like food. The dishwater mixed
with bran for middlings is more or
less salty, and this makes more in
tense thirst than before it was drank.
1t can do no harm at least to offer
the hogs, especially those in pens all
the water once day that they will
drink. More will drink than the,
owner is apt to suppose.

SOME short-sighted people are agi-
tating the question Of keeping
the Worlds Columbian Exposition
open another year. The public
should not be misled by this foolish
proposition. The Fair will be closed
Oct. 81, and that will be the end Of
the Worlds Fair period. If any
persons are misled by these agitators
into staying away from the Fair in
1893 with the expectation that they
will have a chance to see it in 1894
they will make the mistake Of their
lives. The arguments against re-
opening next spring are too over
whelming to be overcome. 1t would
cost hundreds Of thousands of dollars
to protect the buildings from fire
during the winter and pay fire pre-
miums, to police the Fair, and to re-
pair damages by the storms Of win
ter, which inevitably would occur
to temporary buildings put up only
for summer use. The exhibit
OPS could not be induced to risk
their exhibits in any event 1t would
not pay from any point of view, and
therefore there is not the slightest
possibility that the Fair will be open
another year. Those who wish to
see the beautiful White City must dc
so before Nov. or it will be forever
too late. After that date it will dis.
