who granted a respite until Oct. IL.
The merits Of the case were not gone
into at all by the governor, the appli-
cation on the woman's behalf being
simply that a sufficient respite be
granted to permit motion for new
trial to be made at the next term OF
Twiggs county court.
This Ii an extraordinary motion for a
new trial. the woman's counsel having
abandoned her after her trial and max
ing no effort to secure new trial for
her. The governor granted a similar
stay in the case Of Gus Faubles, the
negro who was her accomplice. though
no motion was made In his behalf. They
killed Mrs. Mobiles husband.

STARVATION BEFORE THEM.
No More Work for Strikers at Michigan
Orc Mines This Year.

Ishpeming, Mich, Aug. 15.--It Is
rumored that at least one of the big
Ishpeming mines has shipped It's last
ore for 1895, and 1t is believed by many
that the mining companies are not
averse to having the present strike con-
tinue until the close of navigation. The
ore now mined and stocked will bring
fifty cents or one dollar more per ton
next season than this year. There are
$50, 900 tons of 1shpeming stock piles,
with enough In the country to bring the
figures up to an even million tons.
There is already much want among
the strikers and their families. and now
that stores wlli'sell for cash only. abso-
Lutte starvation will face hundreds Of
families within a few weeks.

mercial bills are beginning to appear
In the market. and they will furnish
abundant exchange and will effectively
check the outflow Of gold.
"As regards the talk Of another bond

est foundation for 1t. The rates for

What Not to Do.


! Don'texpect snow and hens to lay in
the same house at the same time, if you
do biddy will leave the race. As eggs
are big per cent water, surely the
hen must get it, if you get many eggs.
This is point that many people for
get in cold weather. Don't expect the
hens to lay without material with
which to build the eggs. As she can't
get bugs and worms, she must have a
little raw meat two or three times
a week. Don't expect the lice to
freeze out in winter, unless you
are willing biddy should 60
the same trip. So use the dust bath OF
insect powder, As to temperature,
just above freezing is the best for a
chicken house. Then throw in plenty
OF straw for the hens to scratch in.
Don't make your house without any
ventilators. Fowls need fresh air as
well as we do. True, most of them
get too much ventilation in the beak
and comb. Just small hole or two
will do. Never let the cold, especially
wet, wind, hit your birds at night, if
you do, roup will hit them next. I
have used about all the remedies for
roup and colds, more than twenty
in all, but the best thing of all
expected to put up and sell
1 will give the recipe free.
1t is simply skunk oil. Skin a
fat skunk; throw it into your hen
house; throw in corn at the same time,
and see which they viii eat first. If
they are so bad off they will not eat,
force a little down them. In such
cases I put little coal oil with it and
grease their heads, Twill guarantee a
cure nine times out of ten, if the bird
is able to eat at all. Three or four doses
will fetch them out ali right. This
has been my remedy for three years.
sob, yes" I hear some one say, "who
would like to handle the dirty thing?"
Friends, we can't always do as
we like. For my part, I prefer it to
the cholera or the roup. Any
trapper can tell you how to manage
that part so one would not know you
had handled an animal more odorIfer-
GUS than a rabbit. Skunks have saved
me more birds than they have
caught, so / am little lenient on
them. Also this give you without
charge, so don't charge me, for it has
saved me several IS birds, and praise
the boat that carries ime to land.-H,

detail from Major Leyden's artil-

down toguard the prisoners. I was
member Of the company, and the
facts in the case are fresh in my rec
election yet. The doors on one side
OF the cars remained locked, and the
doors on the other side were open.
In front of each Of these doors one of
Leyden's men stood on guard.
Everything went on smoothly
until the relief came around after
dark. The officer IN charge Of the re-
lief squad found, to his establishment,
that one Of the cars was guarded by
Yankee with a musket"
Hello! What does this mean?"
asked the'oficer.
"0h, it's all right, replied the
Yankee; ''the young man on duty
here wanted to go and see his girl,
and he promised me his rations if /
would take his place till he came
back"
We took Mr.. Yank's muslet from
him and made him enter the car. and
stationed one of our men at the door.
The fellow had told the truth, as we
found out when the absent guard re-
turned. The youngster was fresh
and knew nothing about soldering.
He saw no harm in slipping off to see
his girl and as luck would have it. he
had picked out prisoner who was
man OF his word
Our eomrade would have been Sc
verely punished if his case had been
reported, but the boys enjoyed the
joke so much that they kept it from
Major Leyden until it was safe to let
it be known.
Wouldn't that va nkee and his
friend, the Confederate. have a Jolly
time if they could meet at some re-
union Of the blue and gray? If they
are both living they ought to get to-

Prairie or TlnOthy Hay.

The Minnesota experiment station
has been conducting some experiments
to ascertain the value Of prairie hay
compared with timothy. The COWS
fed on prairie hay, grain and ensilags,
produced during the experiment 3, $50. 3
pounds OF milk containing 19O.74
pounds of butter fat. The COWS fed
on timothy produced 2 547.3 pounds Of
milk containing 1871 pounds of but
ter fat. The difference was 80 pounds
Of milk in favor of prairie hay, and 81
of pound Of butter fat in favor OF
timothy. The two were therefore
shown about equal in feeding value,
but the price on the market
for timothy was $50 per ton
and of prairie hay $500 per ton.
The general summary for their ex.
periments was as follows:
First As between early cut and
well cured timothy hay and well cured
upland prairie hay, COWS preferred the
prairie nay.
Second. Prairie hay was at least
equal to timothy for the production Of
milk and butter.
Third. At the present price of the
two kinds Of hay, milk was produced
at 10 per cent less cost, and butter fat
IL per cent less cost wheu prairie hay
was fed.
Fourth. With dairy COWS fresh in
milk in the fall or early winter, com.
fortbaly housed, well and regularly fed
and MIXED, there will be little if any
shrinkage in the flow of milk and yield
of butter fat during the winter
months.

CHEMICAL ANALYSIS

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AG-
KICULTURE, Division OF CHEMISTRY,
WASHINGTON, D. C August 80. 1884,
Hon. Chas. w. Dabuey, IL, Assistant
Secretary. / submit herewith the
result of the analysis of the samples of
Of soil and suUsoil from Younger & Co,
Geneva, Neb, transmitted by you to
this division for examination.
The analyses show a remarkable sim
ilarity between the two soils, indicat.
ing that the subsoil is practically as
rich in plant food as the soil itself. The
soil in its constitution is remarkably
similar to the typical blue grass soils Of
Kentucky. It's great fertility depends
largely upon the high content "a pot
ash which it holds and on its content Of
humus.
There is no basis for the idea which
IS entertained by the owners of the
soil that the subsoil is Of marty na-
ture. It contains rather a low percent
age of lime carbonate. Its fsrtilizing
value as indicated above, and which
has been noticed by the people ia the
vicinity, depends upon the abundance
OF the plant food elements already
mentioned. Respectfully.
Il ~. WmEY,
Chief of Division.

TOMATOES, There is money in this
very popular and quick selling vegeta-
bic. The wholesale price on early
shipments runs as high as 20 cents per
pound on the Chicago markets, but
even taking cents per pound as an
average, I know of nothing that will
turn more clean cash net, per acre.
Tomatoes at even l cent per pound
beats wheat at So. Tomato seed may
be sown in hot beds at once and grown
in heat until the second leaf appears.
Then transplant same into cold frames
2x5 inches apart, and hold in good
stock condition till the time for out
side planting arrives, taking care not
to over-watsr. and giving all the air
and light possible. When the time for
transplanting arrives, set them SO as to
admit of horse cultivation both ways,
which will save all hand hoeing and
other needless expense. They should
be given gOod cultivation while grow
ing. Packing for shipping. The boxes
Tor packing should be light. neat and
attractive. Nothing but first class
stock should be packed. By dealing
honestly and furnishing fine stock
only, you viii stimulate demand for
your goods, for when 8 buyer can de
pend upon q grower, his goods viii al
ways find a ready market. wOnld
