A Novelty in Farming.

Considerable experience In farming en-.
ables us to say that the Country Gentleman
Is one OF the best agricultural papers in
tho United States. For some years 1t has
been our habit to read 1t, but we have
never found In it anything So out OF the
common as this advertisement. which
appeared in q recent number:
ANY one knowing the address or locality where a
skunk farm Ia run. either In New York state or Penn.
sylvania. will do = favor by aidrcs sing postal to D. s..
care Country Gsn,sman."
We copy this interesting notice in order
to bring 1t to the attention Of the officers
who respectively preside over the agricul-
tural interests OF this country and State ut
Washington and Albany. In tho Depart
ment Of Agriculture at Washington. dl.
rected by tho Hon. j. STERLING MORTON OF
Nebraska. there Is a Bureau Of Animal
Industry; and the Dairy Commissioned Of
this State. whose tito is shortly to be
changed by tho Legislature to that OF Com
missioner Of Agriculture. undertakes to OK
ercise q certain degree OF supervision over
CATTLE. bees. and other creatures. We trust
those officers will speedily publish what
they know on the subject OF skunk farms.
We have set them an example, in two or
three disquisitions that have appeared at
various periods in The Sun which shines
for all.
The money expended for this purpose
would not be any more wasted than are
nine-tenths Of the expenditures made os-
tensibly for the promotion Of the agrlcul-
tural interests Of the country and the State.
A pamphlet on skunk farms would be just
as useful and a great deal more interesting
than the paper on agriculture in Alaska.
which was one OF the first publications OF
the Department Of Agriculture at Washing
ton under the new Secretary. All that the
paper showed was that there Is in Alaska
no such thing rs agriculture worthy OF
the name. and this fact was tolerably we'll
known before.
We suggest that the same man who wrote
RUsK's celebrated treatise ON Lumpy Jaw
in Cattle would be q suitable person to I'M
dertake the philosophic discussion OF skunk
farms in a Government publication.

To Prevent Train Robbery.

The way to prevent tho robbery OF
express trains is to shoot the robbers
Every train crew should be taught
that it is q part Of their duty to shoot
on sight any marauder that attempts
to board an engine or express car at
night. The success that is attending
the train robbing business recently is
drawing quito q large number into the
business, and tho only way to arrest
tho growth Of tho industry j. to cul-
tivato the fashion of shooting the mis-
creants who 90 into 1t.
This city, says the St. Joseph Ga
settle has set an example worthy Of
close imitation. Tho probability is
that had the fellows who met their
death at Roy's Branch Sunday night
dreamed that they were likely to meet
the slightest resistance, no rope would
have been found strong enough to lead
them to uhc scene Of the attempted
robbery. They had read Of train rob-
berries, and the business seemed to o.
fer such large profits and such smooth
sailing that they never thought Of ser.
ious opposition to their demand for an
unconditional surrender. They expect
ed to blow open a car with dynamite
and to stand over the messenger, gun
in hand, and COMPEL him to open the
safe. This done, they could take the
contents, fire a few shots at tho win.
dows Of the coaches to intimidate the
passengers, and from there on the
worst danger they could reasonably
expect was q race with the sheriff.
Such had been the history Of nearly
all the train robbers they had ever
beard Of, and SO they expsctee the ex-
petition to Roy's Branch to terminate.
They did not expect to have to fight
for the booty, or not one OF them
could have been persuaded TO under.
take its capture. They had no. doubt
Of winning an easy victory. But
things turned out in variance with the
rosy experience of the train robbers
they had read about. Instead Of en-.
joyipg the terror Of the passengers
and a triumph over tho trainmen,
thoy met with a reception, the wide
publication Of which will have q ton

in al parts Of the country. Instead
Of sacks filled with money, two Of
them got their hides filed with lead,

would have been better. 1t is to be
