Forage Plants.


The southern farmer, or stOck-raiser,
is blessed with a royal list of plants
adapted to his several requirements
IN this respect he has greatly the adj
vantage of his northern neigh bors, who
have few plants, comparatively, that
are adapted in the highest degree to
permanent pastures or meadows. The
northern farmers list is a small one
compared to the list that the southern
farmer can show and make use of.
Our farmers certainly have the plants,
though they may not make much use
OF them. Some do, but the great
mass Of them have yet to recOg-
nlzc their value. No doubt these will
waken to their opportunities some day,
and when they do what a country for
fine stock this will be! A country that
has pasture ten months in the year, you
may say, has neglected it's opportunity
when it fails to derive a big income
from stock raising. AS many as two
score different plants, in the highest
degree adapted to southern soil and
climate, could readily be named, and
then leave out quite a number of first
rate plants that could be profitably
used for making stocl-growing a sue
cess. Look at this half dozen: Bermu-
da, lucern, orchard grass, red top, bur
clover, meadow oat grass
Here are six plants alone that are
capable of making the south a glorious
country for producing beef, pork, NUT
ton and horse flesh, and furthermore
restoring the worn soils to condition
of original fertility while making the
best returns annually, that it possibly
can far better than it can with hoe
crops.
AS summer pasturage grass it
would be almost sin to wish for any,
thing better than Bermuda. From
May until the first killing frost it is
capable of affording all the grazing
that can be justly expected of the soil.
1t is grass that needs no recommcn-
dation where it has once been tried.
Like Bermuda lucern is a perennial,
enduring for many years, when cared
for properly. 1t is better adapted to
moving than to grazing, though it can
be used for the latter purpose if man
oS0U PIOPcI1y, dHu especially 1Or calves
and sheep. Lucern affords green food
later in the fall and earlier in the
spring than Bermuda, being like
meadow oat and orchard grass in this
respect.
These aforementioned grasses arc
very valuable for pasture or for now
ing. They should be sown in conjunc-
ton with some of the clovers-the red
crimson, sapling or Bur" The red
top is the best suited for moist or wet
soils. Though an annual, the bur,
or California, clover is one of the most
valuable plants in reach Of our farm
ers. 1t will prove of inestima BILE value
to our soils when it becomes more GEN
orally known. Those who have used it
never fail to praise it.
Have you any of these plants grow
ing on your farm? If not, it will be
well for you to get some as early as
possible You had better divide the
corn land with them, for they will
make you cheaper forage than CORN

Foreign News.

Moscow, Dec. 16.-It is considered
by the Car and his ministers that
France is powerless to guard against
anarchist outrages. The Franco-Rus.
sian party in st. Petersburg thinks that
the explosion will affect the relations
between the two countries.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 16.-A force
of police, assisted by detachment of
Cossacks, surprised large number of
nihilists, who were holding meeting
in house outside of Moscow. In the
fight that occurred fifteen policemen
were wounded. When the nibilists
saw that their capture was inevitable
five of them turned their weapons
against themselves and blew out their
brains. Twenty-Five escaped, but fifty
others were captured.
ROME, Dec. 16.-The programme of
the new cabinet will include ten per
cent. increase in the land tax and a tax
on houses. 1t is doubtful if the minis
try will survive.

From Hawaii.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16.-The
steamship Australia, which arrived
here this morning from Honolulu,
brings advices to December 9th. The
excitement was at fever heat, but up to
that time there had been no change in
the situation.
The queens adherents are being Sc.
cretly armed. 1t is said that over two
hundred new Winchester rifles have
been worked into Honolulu in small
lots from the island of Maui during the
past month and distributed to the roy
alists. A vigilant watch is kept upon
the movements Of the royalists. The
leading political event of the week is
the decision of the government to pro-.
coed at once to remove all employees
not distinctly loyal to them. Charles
Carter, late commissioner to Washing
ton, considers the crisis substantially
over and thinks the strength of the
provisional government much more
than adequate to repel the United
States forces now here. He is certain
that these forces would not proceed 10
the extent of bloodshed. He has per-
sonal knowledge that some leading
royalists are quite hopeless.

Race Trouble.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 16.-Race

of G. F. Carterberry. They got the
mule and were returning to Asheville,
when 25 armed negroes stopped them
and at the points of guns compelled
them to give up the mule. Warrants
have been sworn out for the negroes
and trouble is feared, as they defy ar
rest An armed posse that left Ashe-
vile late last evening to serve the war
rants has not yet been heard from.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.
HOUSE.

Immediately after the journal mad
been approved and the usual documents
referred, Mr.. Breckenridge moved that
the House go into committee of the
whole to consider the urgency de-
liciency bill. The motion prevailed.
An agreement was reached that de-
bate on the urgency deficiency bill
should be limited to two hours on each
side.
Mr.. Breckenridge said the chief topic
cfdiscussion contained in the bill was
the paragraph on pensions.
Mr.. Cannon spoke upon the reference
to pensions contained in the Presidents
message, and said inquiry should be
made as to the accuracy of his state
ments. The committee which investi-
gated this matter had called before
them the Commissioner of Pensions and
chiefs of bureaus, and had exhaust
ed every source of information to
ascertain the method in which pension
laws were administered and how the
money appropriated for such purposes
was expended. The President had
such information at hand as would en-
able him to determine the truth or
falsity of allegations concerning the
fraudulent issuance of pensions. The
present Commissioner of Pensions had
said that there was no greater number
of fraudulent cases in that bureau than
occurred in the ordinary administra-
ton of cases in the courts.
Mr.. Cannon reviewed at length the
act of 1890, under which half of the
pensioners now drawing pensions had
been placed upon the rolls.
Mr.. Enloe asked Mr.. Cannon who
changed the construction which had
been given order 1854.
Mr.. Cannon replied that it was the
present Commissioner of Pensions I'M
der authority from the Secretary of the
Interior. The committee on APP
preparations during the last Congress,
which had q democratic majority OF
40, had placed an amendment upon
the appropriation bill revoking order
1914, but democratic House refused to
accept it, and the amendment
was eliminated. But this year,
with Grover Cleveland President,
Hoke Smith Secretary of the In
terror, and VIM. Lochren Commission
er of Pensions, this order, which affect
ed the pensions of 100000 men, had
been suspended without legislation, and
thus had been committed an act of in
Justice akin to crime.
Continuing Mr.. Cannon recited the
history of the Whiting and Bennett
cases.
Mr.. Livingston defended the admin
istration. He read a list of trials and
convictions of those who had fraudu-
lently obtained pensions, and referred
to the large number of cases which had
recently been discovered in Virginia.

RAILROAD LEGIsLATIoN.-A letter
from Richmond says: The investiga-
ton into the conduct of the recent
election, which was yesterday author
lied by a resolution adopted by the
Virginia Legislature, may possibly in
terfere with some important railroad
legislation. One of the most prominent
measures of this class which was ex-
pected to be presented this session was
bill for the reorganization of the
Richmond and Danville and West
Point Terminal. This was to have
been presented, it is said, to enable the
reorganization of that system under the
Drexel-Morgan plan. This contem-
plates a qualification of the various
roads, and securing q large loan. The
bill has never been introduced in the
Legislature, and it remains to be seen
whether the agitation of the talk about
the use of railroad money in connection
with the nomination of United States
Senator will interfere with these plans.
1t is claimed that the Richmond and
Danville system can carry out their
plan of reorganization under the char.
ter of the old Washington and Ohio
road, incorporated many years ago
The name Of this latter company was
changed some time ago, and the friends
of reorganization claim that its pro.
visions will answer their purposes
The legislative investigation, which
begins to-day, is quite sure to result in
revealing the names of the big railroad
corporations and syndicates which con.
tributed to the Virginia democratic
campaign fund in the election of NoY.
