Seized a Train.

ZANEsvILLE, O., April 81, 1s94.-A special
from Washington Court House says that
Colonel Galvin's industrial army arrived at
Coal Chute last night late tired and foot
sore. They overpowered the section
foreman, and tnking the signals from
him locked him in the house. They then
held up the Baltimore and Ohio through
east bound freight and boarded it for
Columbus. The trainmen. however, side
tracked them at Mount Sterling, which
made the ''hobo" very angry. The rail
road officials fearing that the mad mob
would attempt vengence by wrecking a
train, ran their west bound Baltimore and
Ohio passenger train over the Little Miami
from Columbus to Loveland.

Enough wagons were provided here TO

The feeling against the railroad officials
is intense, though no attempt at
violence has been made against the
company's property. About seventy-fve
men gathered near the depot in empty cars,
and remained until after the army
had proceeded some distance on l5s

There is constant temptation to
pillow deeper for corn than is best Tor
the crop The soil in spring is moist
and the plow runs easily to u greater
depth than it can be made to do to-
wards fall. 1t is easier, too, for the
careless plowman to put the pillow
down so that the handles shall hardly
need to be taken hold OF in going
across the field. But that is not the
way to make good corn crop Ii
the furrow is half turned and left on
edge with enough loose soil to make
a seed bed the sod will rot better
than 1T will when a deep turow is
turned fiat and leaving a LOT Of cold
subsoil on the surface. This does
not make good seed bed. The
grains of corn are checked almost as
soon as they terminate, and do not
recover until nearly midsummer. 1t
IS possible to get good corn with
deep blowing if stable manure has
been used, but it will not be as for
ward early in the season as the corn
on land that is plowed shallow which
mas mad no manure.

Farm Notes.

LEAN pork sells at a higher price
than that which is very fat, The
size of the hogs most in demand are
those weighing not over $50 pounds
each.
TIE comb of the fowls is true in
deX to their health, If the comb is
bright red it indicates that the fowl
is in healthy condition. but if pale
or dark it shows that there is some
thing wrong
MANAGEMENT is as important as
capital on a farm. With good man
agement farm should pay yell, but
there is no surer method of losing
money than to invest it in a farm
and not know how to manage it.
If you did not harvest an ice crop

make a simple windlass to lower the

CRIMSON clover has not given as
good results with farmers as was ex-
pected The reason is that they cut
it when in bloom, expecting it to
grow again, when, in fact, it is an
nual and not a biennial plant. 1t

ence to spring
THE mechanical arrangement of the
soil determines its fertility. The
tineness of the soil is important. The
greater the number Of soil grains in
given space the greater the amount
of air space, because the small grains,
being light, arrange themselves more
loosely than the heavier or larger
ones.
If you try the feeding of wheat,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer, in or
der to find a better market than the
mill or the warehouse offers, better
not feed it by itself, but dilute it
with soaked corn or corn meal This
will make a ration which hogs will
tatten on rapidly, and which cannot
injure them.

DAY by day more infamies in the
chapter of naval contracts are COM
ing to the surface, Upon the heels
of the discovery that much of the
armor plate furnished by Carnegie,
Phipps & Co. for the new battle ships
was full Of blow holes and not fit for
use comes the information that the
steel trial projectiles for the new
heavy naval ordnance furnished by
Sterling Bros, also Of Pennsylvania,
are made brittle or soft-not accord
ing to Government requirements, but
according to the desires of the armor-
plate manufacturers against whose
sample plates they are to be tlredl
Under this contract system our new
navy would seem to be in a bad way,
defenseless because of bad armor and
impotent because of bad projectiles.

SEVERAL years ago certain coun-
ties in Southwestern Missouri were
bonded for the construction of a rail
road. The road was never built, but
the bonds had been noated and sold.
When they became due most Of them
were in the hands of innocent par
ties. Payment was refused by the
counties on the ground that they
could not be made to settle for some
thing they had never received. The
courts, however, decided the bonds
had been purchased in good faith by
those holding them, and that there.
fore were valid obligation even if
the projectors of the road had de.
frauded the counties. Further liti-
cation followed, but finally the judges
of the counties were commanded by
the United States District Court to
levy assessments for payment of the
bonds. The judges Of st. Clair Coun-
ty refused to make the levy, and were
thereupon sent to jail for contempt.
Their successors also refused to obey
the court and were imprisoned. The
other day Judge Lyons became in
sane, Judge Copenhaven, his prede-
cessor, is dying, and the wife and
daughter of the latter have become
insane from the shock of his imprls-
onment Although the innocent
holders Of the bonds in question
should not lose their money, still the
case Of the offending judges is assum-
ing such tragic features that some
way should be devised for their re.
lief If they could be released and
the projectors Of the railroad impris-
oned in their stead, there would be
more of equity in sight than there is
at present 1t would seem that some
sort of a compromise should be ar
ranged between the counties and
bondholders; otherwise Imprisonment
may follow Imprisonment, as it is
certain no judge elected in St. Clair
County will ever levy any assessments
Of the proportions they are now.

CHICAGO IlERALD Chicago is fast

our Aldermen as object lessons for

city object to franchise grabbing and
warn the councllmen that Chicago
methods will not be tolerated in
Kansas City, Bltterest and truest

newspapers that "a fair and reason
able remuneration to the municipal
ity for franchises which have been
given away by the city of Chicago
would pay the cost of administering
the government without taxing the
people" Every one knows it is true.
Every one knows that this city has
been robbed and betrayed year in and
year out, Every one knows that the
thievery is still going on, and that in
all human probability it will con.
tlnue until there is nothing left for
the Aldermen togive away-or rather
to sell. 1t is humillating, but it is
true. Chicago is the municipal "hOr-

Planting EARLY Potatoes.

The potato plant after it comes out
of the ground is very tender, and the
slightest frost nips it, but in cold
soil IL takes often two weeks or more
for the shoot to come above the sur
face, 1t is necessary, therefore, for
the very earliest crop that the seed
should be in the ground while frosts
are still expected, 1t does no harm
even If the surface soil is slightly
frozen after the potato has been
planted. This freezing mellows the
surface, and when cultivated it will
be found in fine filth. Much how
ever, depends on the condition of the
seed. That which has been prepared
by cutting and drying a few days be-
fore putting III the ground will be up
before that which was cut just before
being planted The planting of early
potatoes should always be deep
enough so that the whole surface can
be narrowed once or twice before the
plants are up. This early cultlva-
ton OF the soil greatly increases the
vigor Of growth when the shoots come
up 1t directly aids growth by in
creasing the amount of available
plant food in the soil.

Few Of the people who read or talk
about artificial irrigation in the Uni
ted States have any idea Of the great
value which the introduction Of the
process has given to lands in Austria
liza, In 1889 one company contracted
with the Victorian Government to
eXpend 5000, 900 in five years on irri-
CATION works for the development Of
rich but arid tract Of land. In four
years the company has expended
more than double that sum. At a
place called Mildura there are 5000
people, 1900 acres of land have
been sold, and 10000 are under cul-
tivatiOn. Most Of the settlers take
the land on time payments at from
800 to $3.50 per acre and pay for the
water in addition. These valuations
are far in excess Of any figures named
for artifcially irrigated lands in this
country, but If they can be realized
in Australia the improvement Of land
to be sold at agues high by compari-
son with those paid for ordinary farm
lands ought to lie possible here. IN
doubtedly the time is coming when
the systematic distribution of water
to the thirsty soil in sufficient but
not excessive quantity, and just at
the times when it will do most good,
will be resorted to extensively even
outside Of the arid regions, because
Of the vastly superior results over
those obtained by ordinary haphazard
Of cultivation.
