q prominent physician one cold day

all very well to talk about bracing

well. If you're not, you die. That's the

A Hens First Impression,

Every farmer knows how troubled a
hen will be when set to hatch a setting
Of ducks eggs when the young hatch
and take to the water, as young ducks
naturally will. Perhaps the rule works
the other way as we'll. A hen that is
set to hatch ducks eggs when she is a
pullet cannot know any better about
the instructive liking or disliking of
her young for the water. A correspon-
dent of the New York Sun tells of a
hen that when a pullet Matched a set
ting of ducks eggs. Ever after when
hens eggs were given her she fastened
with the young chicks to the waters
edge, and lifted them into the water
when she could not get them in other
wise. The hen finally became old and
a confirmed setter. A setting of ducks
eggs was given her. So soon as they
Matched she fastened to the waters
edge. The ducks took to the water.
The hens satisfaction with this was
too much for her, as she died a few
hours after returning from the lake.
The difficulty in getting q, pullet to
hatch ducks eggs is, to induce them to
set the four weeks which ducks eggs
require. Most young fowls are apt to
be impatient and leave the nest before
the three weeks needed to hatch hens
eggs have expired.

Fruit All the Year Round.

Corn Fodder.

Being impressed with the fact that
in many sections of Maryland there
was much valuable food material go
ing to waste, which if properly pre-
served wouR save the expense of pur-
chasing hay and also enable farmers to
keep more stock a feeding experiment
was undertaken at the Maryland sta
ton to test the most economical meth
cd of preparing and utilizing corn fod-
der and determining the digestibility
of varions parts of the plant. These
experiments which were made in 1891 2
form the subject of bulletin recently
issued from the station. Here is a
summary of the reported results:
First-All parts on the corn plant
contain valuable food materials, the
dry matter containing nearly the same
composition.
Second-The corn sthbble and husks
contain nearly go per cent of the total
digestible matter produced by the
plant and the blades only II per cent.
Third-Corn husks or shucks con-
tain 70 per cent of digestible matter.
Jul NOlh OF COLI
tain &c. 5 per cent of digestible matter.
Five-Corn blades or leaves contain
g. 2 per cent of digestible matter.
Six-Top corn fodder contains 55 per
cent of digestible matter.
Seven-There is more digestible
matter contained in the corn fodder
from one acre than in the ears.
Eight-The corn fodder from one
acre yields as much digestible matter
as two tons of timothy hay.
Nine-There is enough digestible
matter produced by the corn fodder
grown in the southern states to winter
all the stock in those states if properly
preserved and prepared in palatable
form.
Ten-By cutting and crushing the
corn stalks cattle will eat and utilize
nearly all of them.
Eleven-Corn fodder furnishes a
food rich in digestible carbohydrates
Twelve-Corn fodder when fed
alone will nearly maintain cattle, but
should be supplemented with some
food rich in nitrogen when feeding for
the production of growth, flesh or
milk.

GREEN TRAIN ROBBERS
MAKE A BUNGLING JOB ON A CALI.
FOBNIA EXPRESS CAR
Stop the Train, Blow Open the Express Car
With Dynamite and Get Only Ten
Dollars For Their Trouble.
Good Clue.

Los ANGELES, Dec. 24.-Railroad
brigands have again appeared in Cali
fornia, and this morning attacked the
the Southern Pacific train bearing the
treasury of the Wells Fargo Express
company and passenger train No. 90
which pulled out this city late last
night, northbound, was held up at
Roscoe, a small station 10 miles north
of here, early this morning. The train
was stopped by two men, who covered
the trainmen with revolvers, and blew
open the safe with dynamite. After
the robbers had gone through the ex-
press car the train was allowed to pro.
coed after detention of 80 minutes. 1t
is claimed the robbers got nothing ex-
cept $40 taken from the engineer, as
hey were unable to open the safe, and
everything was locked up.

tive, who started out from here about

was that of green hands who went out
from the city and returned immedi.
ately after the robbery. He thinks
they are local men and this evening
officers are working on a clue which
promises to lead to their capture.
One of the robbers went out early In
the evening with horses and the others
followed on the train. At Roscoe the
first man built fire by the track and
as the train approached poured oil on
the flames as a signal to his confeder-
ate, who was on top of freight car
just behind the tender. The latter
clambered down over the tender and
covering the engineer with his revolver
ordered him to stop the train, which
he did, when another man approached
the cab and the holdup was proceed
ed with.
Another story is that the robbers
went on the train as passengers and
only left the train when ready to COM
NIT the deed. The Southern Pacific
has announced reward of $1,000 for
information leading to the arrest of
the robbers, in addition to the regular
Wells Fargo reward. No one was hurt
and no damage was done beyond the
breaking open OF the express car.

A Sample.

The following item was clipped from
one of the leading agricultural papers
of Texas:
eff the horses are worked down feed
generously Of ground corn and oats
mixed with cut hay and we'll sailed. "
All intelligent horsemen know that
horse feed should not be well salted."
If salt is put in the stable or lot any
domestic animal will. eat as much and
at such times as its system demands
But the point is: Why will alleged
agricultural editors devote their tai
ents to politics and thoughtlessly clip
such senseless paragraphs to fill in?

CHRISTMAS RACES.
Glorious Weather, Big Crowd, and Splendid
Races by Home Talent

Races by Home Talent
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Driving club had given no extended
notice of its Christmas matinee. q
a crowd, estimated by some as high
as 1000, were at the track yesterday 10
witness the exhibition otspeed by our
home horses. The racing was good,
and the spectators appeared to greatly
enjoy them.
The first event on the card was the
exhibition OF George Brush's 9-moDths
old filly Superior, by Robert Bonner,
Jr., out of Miss Anderson. The little
thing went out like an old campaigner,
and in company with her brother, ST..
Patrick, covered half mile easily in
3:16.
The second event was half-mile
heats between Brush's ST.. Patrick
and Charley Anderson's bay FLY
Mary Anderson by Robert Bonner,
Jr., out of Beulah. The FLY broke
badly and st. Patrick took two
straight heats In 1:47 and 1888 IA.
Third race--Mile heats. Stal ters,
Arthur Terrell's brown FLY (pacer),
Mr.. Crawford's PAGER and Vic
Mather's CHI. h. Silver King (trotter)
Silver King got off his feet badly and
Terrell's filly won two straight heats
each in 2:35; Mr.. Crawford's horse
second, Silver King third.
In the bicycle races there were five
starters and Mr.. Paul Won Boeck-
mann won all the races. The quarter
mile dash was won in 80 IL seconds,
the half-mile in loo l 4 and the mile
in 2:44 "a, the latter being handicap
in which Won Boeckmann allowed
his competitors start of 200 yards.
The crowd that attended the races
indicate that Austin is full of lovers
of turf sports, and furthermore 1t In
dictates that the fair association into
which the club will presently be in
corporated will be success. Such its
projectors intend it shall be, and they
are an indefatigable set CT gentlemen
and know what they are about.

LIKE OLD TIME BANDITS.
A GANG OF ROBBERS LOOT A TRAIN
IN THE TERRITORY.
Capture the Train Crew, Carefully Go
Through the Mail and Express, and
Then Make Clean Sweep Of
the Passengers.

PARSONS, Kan, Dec. "a Another
and one OF the boldest train robberies
ever perpetrated has been recorded in
the Indian territory. The robbery oc.
CURED at 6 o'clock tonight, at Semi :
mole, a small station on the Kansas
and Arkansas valley, which is divl-
sion of the Missouri Pacific. "he train
robbed was No. 232 bound for Little
Rock, Ark. AS the train approached
Seminole the engineer saw danger
signal ahead and slowed, being under
impression that he was being tagged
to meet another train. AS the train
neared the switch, however, the en-.
gineer perceived that a flat car had
been run out of the sidetracE QUITO
the main line aud the red
! light placed on the car and as soon
as the train reached the obstruction
the engine was boarded by two or
three men who commanded the engin
eer and fireman to jump out of their
cab, which they did. AS they did so
they were confronted by half a dozen
Winchesters and revolvers. The de.
tachment of bandits then started to
wards the back of the train and as
they proceeded gathered in the rest of
the train crew who had STEPPED off to
ascertain the reason for the sudden
stoppage.
When the robbers had collected all
the crew they were corralled and a
guard placed ever them. Then
they proceeded to the work of
robbing the express and mail
cars. They attacked the mail car
first and met with no resistance from
the mail clerks Pouch after pouch
was opened ard rifled of its contents.
Then letters which had been distrib-
uted in the pigeon holes were gone
through deliberately and all valuable
contents extracted and placed in the
receptacle which the robbers carried.
After completing the work in the
mail car the robbers turned their at
tention to the express car and looted
it Of its contents without tire least OBJ
lection from the express messenger,
who was powerless to protect the
comPany's property against such
odds. Having satisfied them
selves that they had secured all
the valuables in tie car the gang pro-
ceeded through the coaches and made
clean sweep of all valuables In pos
session of the terrorized passengers.
1t would have been more than folly for
the passengers or crew to resist, as the
band was made up of eight desperate
looking men, and it was evident from
the way they went at the job that they
knew their business.
While the robbers proceeded through
the coaches each passenger was com
PEELED to hand over all his cash and
jewelry. No violence was offered, be-
cause everyone gave up quick.
ly, glad to escape with a whole
skin. The work of the bandits was SO
desperate and painstaking that IL is
believed they are old timers and are
the same gang who held up the Miss
ouri, Kansas & Texas night before
last. They secured big booty. but no
estimate can be given of the loss.
A posse was made as soon as possible
to advise the authorizes, OF the facts
and deputies are hot on the trail Of
the robbers 1t is barely possible
that if the posse get near the gang a
fight will ensue.
