A LIVELY SCRIMMAGE.-A dance
was given by a colored woman named
Jones in Alexandria county, about two
miles from this city, or Saturday.
While the affair was in progress James
Jones, father of the woman, appeared
among the dancers in 3 drunken condi-
ton and succeeded in bringing the fes-
~tivities to a close by finally shooting
one of the participants. inflicting, how
ever, only a slight flesh wound. A
general fight followed, the new Mount
Vernon Avenue being the scene of the
conflict. 1t ragged in q desultoEy map-
ner. it is said, for two hours, during
which razors and pistols flashed and
b~lackjacks we're hourished. Some OF

they renewed their disorderly beha-
vior, and Officers Price, Ferguson, Bet

A DANGEROUS REMEDY.-A young
woman named Eva Taylor, who form
erly lived in this city, but who now
holds forth in a small house near Hunt
ing creek bridge, found herself in
argent need of the services of q physi-
clan Friday night. Desiring to be
treated at the city's expense, some u
interested in her came to this city in
quest of a corporation doctor, but SIZE
being q resident of Fairfax, it was not
obligatory upon a city physician to re-
spond. 1t was subsequently, learned
that the patient had swallowed some
decoction which she had been told
would avert a result which had occa-
stoned her some apprehension. Her
condition was said to be critical. the
alleged panacea being about to relieve
her not only of the trouble she desired
to avert, but of all others of which flesh

do not see much difference in yield.
This manuring in the drill makes the
potatoes earlier, but it is bad for
them, as it makes them scabby
and rough. If you have plenty
of manure put it all on broadcast.
and the tubcrs will be nicer and
better. A patch farmer should

HERE AND THERE.

The wild sweet potato is one of the
most difficult Of weeds to eradica te
when once it gets rooted in the field.
Farmers should watch for it's appear
ance and dig it out.
What is worth doing is worth do
ing we'll. and what is worth having is
worth taking care of. Brother. are
your chickens worth anything to you?
Then why don't you take care of them?
The old southern plan that came
in with the negro, of increasing the
flow of milk with club. was proven
to be Il failure. Now try good feeding,
good shelter and an occasional caress,
and note the difference.
Farmers will find it more rrofita BILE
to make hay for the New Orleans
market at SIS per ton-present price
than to grow wheat for Liverpool at
~ to so cents per bushel-the present
home prices.
The low prices of wool and mutton
now prevailing will result in cutting
down numbers improving the quality
of the flocl<s, just as epidemicS frighten
cities into general cleaning up. and
results in great sanitary Improvement.
1t is an ill wind that brings no good
anywhere.
While farmers are discussing the
fall crop of potatoes, and gardeners
and truckers are studying close rota-
chickens? just think of the good round
prices obtained for fat, plump broi1ers
about Christmas! Then why not have
them?
The earth was not made in vain,
and the place for chickens old or young
is on its actual surface. A board or CO.
ment floor does we'll enough. but It
must be covered with earth, or some
sort of trash that is more or less alb
sorbeut, and not filthy in its nature.
Good dry earth is the best at all times.
1T is believed that crimson clover
will be valuable as green fertilizer
where it is desirable to raise corn sue
cessively on the same land for a num-
Der of years. Sown with the last plov~-
ing the clover can be turned under next
spring in time to plant the corn crop.
Topping cotton is sometimes ben
edcial and sometimes injurious, and at
all times risky. During a wet time, or
if followed by guod rain, y new
growth of weed is stimula ted, and tho
object is lost. If delayed too long, or
if followed by bad growing weather,
little if any good is accomplished. as
growth is already sufficiently retarded
without topping.

in six days, and even that great run
was absorbed without break. -
There is no overestimating the impor-

in American agricultural prosperity.

HOGS, CORN AND CASH.

Look After the First Two and the Third
VIII be Forthcoming.
Never has the value of the hog crop
to American farmers been more stril<-
ingly demonstrated than during the
past twelve months. Throughout those
long and anxious weeks of 1898. when
bursting banks and financial wrecks
were sweeping away millions every
day, and during all the depression of
the first half of 1894. good hogs were
being grown, shipped to market and
turned into cash in such astonishing
numbers as to keep Il veritab BILE Niagara
of hard cash-ready noney-fowing
out from the purses of packers and
shippers into the pockets of western
farmers, and this enormous quantity
of pork has been produced at such a
comparatively small cost that almost
every pound of it has been sold-even
through the very worst of the financial
cyclone-at an actual profit to the
producer! Can this be said of any
other variety of live stock or of any
crop of grain that has been on sale
during this same misunderstanding
period?
The simple fact is that the farmers
Of the west who live in sections where
the corn crop never fails. and rarely
falls below an everage yield, have in
this field of pork production a business
which in their hands is surrounded by
SO many outstanding advantages that
they can safely challenge the COMPETE
ton of tie world. Myriad acres of
land elsewhere can contribute towards
swelling the volume of cattle, sheep
and horses: India, Russia and Argen-
tine can grow wheat SO cheaply and in
such Quantities to fairly ruin the
American farmer who attempts to COM
pete. hut the sun does not shine on any
land that produces the hogs own
