BURLINGTON ELI" HELD UP.

MASKED Robbers Secure Express Treas
Near st. Joseph, Mo.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Jan. ll.-The Bur-
lington eli leaving this city at 6:25
last evening was held up about three
miles from St. Joseph by five masked
men. The train was stopped by torpe-
does being placed on the track and q
red lantern being swung across the road
in regulation custom. AS soon as
the train stopped three of the rob-
bers boarded the engine with drawn re-
volyers and ordered the engineer and
fireman to accompany them to the eX-
press car and order the express messen-
ger to open the door. Upon being or
dered to open the door, the express
messenger did so, when he was covered
with a rifle in the hands of one of the
men. The amount secured is not

scored a victory in the committee on
banking and currency to-day. The
friends Of the bill had been confident
that the protracted committee struggle

Indiana, executed flank move

the resolution for the previous ques-

this up by moving that the entire ques-

The Qualify Of Polk.

American pork has been pronounced
heaIthful and is admitted to all the
markets Of Europe. But the Eu-
ropean appetite is fastidous Fork
that is made from corn has not so
good a favor as that made from peas
and barley. The pea makes pork hay
ing larger proportion Of lean meat.
We can make as good pork as any
country, but to satisfy European
markets we must supply bacon that
has lean as we'll as fat in its cOmpo-
stion. Pork made from whole wheat.
or wheat and oats ground together,
ought to satisfy this demand

Watering "A Horse.

1t would be better for a farm horse
if he cou d be given water at some
time between morning an noon and
noon and night. There seems to be
a variety Of opinions touching this
point. 1t is almost 4 universal habit
to give farm horses water but three
times day-mOTning, noon and
night. There seems to be no better
reason for this than that it is conve-
nient to do so, and That it would be
incOnyenient to do otherwise as a
rule All agree that the horse
ought to have what water he
needs rather than what he wants.
If left to go thirsty a half
day after eating heating food at hard
work there is no limit to the amount
of water he wants. excerpts what he
will hold. when he reaches the
trough. TO fill up on cold water
when the animal is in heated con-
dit on is one Of the most damaging
things that can be done horse, and
vt because it happens to be con-
yenient to let him DO this, the prac-
tice has come into vogue Most farm
ers could find a way to remedy the
matter ii they would, and it would be
humane for them to Go 50, and prof
liable, likewise.

Danish the Weeds.

The Germantown Telegraph says:
with any Of the class of cultivated
crops where there is real neglect of
proper cultivation, the effect is felt
in the crop harvested. This fact is
demonstrated by little observation,
and few moments consideration of
the case leads to no other conclusion.
Wherever vegetable growth is going
on, there is being taken from the
soil elements of fertility, and if these
are diverted toa noxiOus growth then
they are lost to the main purpose Of
the farm To say nothing OF the un-
pleasant appearance produced, the
effect upon any crop is Very damaging
in the diminished crop production.
Take the case of corn and potatoes
and with the eye as u Judge, we Ee-
lieye that neglect in culture that
allows rank growth of weeds, Will
reduce the yield If both fodder and
grain at least one-third. This IS
especially the case where large weeds
are allowed to grow among potatoes,
and in and about the hills; the crop
will be light and of small size. No
farmer can afford to put his fields to

Profits in Poultry.

There is one source of revenue from
poultry keeping that is too often neg
lected. 1t may be because it is not
generally known that all kinds of
feathers are salabIe. The demand is
increasing every year, and most coun-
try merchants will take them and
sell them on commission. The fowls
must be dry licked, and the feathers
clean and in good condition. The
tail and quill feathers should he
packed separately from those which
are softer. Separate the several
kinds, and also separate those from
dir erent kinds of poultry. The pro-
ceeds from the feathers should repay
the cost of picking and all stheslabor
of preparing the fowl for the market.
Poultry keeping when the business
is properly conducted and with an
eye mainly to egg production, is ex-
tremely profitable. Experiments in
feeding and in computing the value
OF eggs show that if no estimate is
made for labor one dozen eggs can be
produced at cost Of about cents
for food, or about half cent an egg.
If all the food consumed by the fowls
went directly to egg production the
profit would always be very good: but
much depends upon whether the hens
convert this food into eggs, flesh, or
the support Of their bodies: but, as
we have said, when the feeding is
properly conducted, the profit pro-
cured is satisfactory one. Another
i i
is that when eggs are marketed they
carry from the farm but little Of the
nutrit Gus elements of the soil in
proportion to their value. -Philadel
