Wholesome Advice to Tobacco
Men.
BY WILLIAM Il. BEAS)

NY advice to farmers is not to ship
their tobacco at the present time.
The market is glutted with low grades
aud northumberland.
A fiue crop only will sell well now
and then, but there are ten chances to
one that it will be overlooked in the
great quantities that are being forced
upon the market. The buyers are
protesting against such heavy sales,
but the Warehousemen are making
money by it. and continue to put up
bout 1000 hhds. daily. The sales
continue from s 80 a. m TO 7 30 p. IN.
viz 8 hours or 4S0 minutes, taking
out the time to go from one ware
house to another, it leaves less than 10
seconds for the sale of each hogshead.
Under such circumstances how can
sellers expect anything but a whole
sale butchery of prices. / had a
hogshead of red leaf that.cost me $3.50
here, sell for ~ So there. There are
hundreds of good hogheads oi
red leaf selling for between 80 and
81, yet these are not written up in the
papers.
There are hogsheads being sold in
both markets that are actually not
paying shipping and sale expenses,
therefore heed not these tobacco
who are urging you TO
hurry your tobacco into market, all
they want is their commission, and
and they don't care whether your to-
Dacco is given away or not. Ii you
cannot sell at home, bulk your tobac-
20, lock your barns, forget you have
t, until the middle of April. Then
lang it up untillt sweats in case and
yets in keeping order; buyers will
hen take hold for they can keep it
hen as long as they wish. If they
,ut it in hogsheads now they are fore
I'd to sell it in a short time.

Mrs. Mamie K. Batter, wife of Mr.
Samuel Bates, died at her home in
this city, on Sunday morning, Jan
ii, 1895, aged SO years. Mrs. Bates
was Miss Mamie E. Annis, and was
IN trried to Mr.. Samuel Bates in: Bail
county in 1866. Four children were
born to them, two of whom are living
Mrs. A. ID. Thomas, of Evansville,
Indiana, and VIM. Bates, OF Paducah,
KY, both of whom were with their
mot her in her last illness. Several
years since Mrs. Bates suffered an al
tack of La Grippe, from the ieffects of
which she never completely recovered.
Some months since she had stroke
of paralysis, but the immediate cause
OF her death was heart failure, super
induced by a brain trouble. Mrs.
Bates was a model wife, mother and
friend and true and noble woman.
She was a faithful and consistent
member of the Christian church and
died as she had lived, christian.
Her son, William, and her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Cora Thomas, were sum
mOned from their homes to attend the
bedside of the dying mother, who low
ed them so well and who enjoyed TO
so full an extent their love. They
made her glad thai toy could be by
when she was taking her farewell
OF earth. For the stricken husband
upon whom the blow fulls with such
fearful weight, the sympathy of a
wide circle of friends goes out in deep
est sympathy. The funeral service

Whatever the state department

else it could do They have been
yelling for vigorous foreign policy,
and when Secretary Gresham gives il
to them in his Spanish policy they de-
nounce it as violently as they ever de-
nounced his conservative Hawaiian
policy. The "Americanism" of the
party which boasts SO loudly of it's
Americanism consists to-day mainly
of blind, bitter hatred of a man who
had the independence to leave the re-

The Prevention oil Gapes.

Gapes are the result of filth and
dampness, and occur among chicks
that are fed on the ground. Old farms
that have been occupied by poultry for
several years are more or less affected
by the gapeworms or their eggs in the
soil. The disease prevails wherever
earthworms are numerous, as the con-
ditions for earthworms and gapeworms
are the same. To avoid gapes scatter
air-slacked lime freely over the soil to
be occupied by chicks, spade it and ap.
ply more lime, using the lime literally,
and repeating the application once a
week. If this is properly done, so as
to have the lime cover every available
square inch of the soil, there will be
but a small liability of gapes among

INTO The GRAVE

MIR. r Richmond, sexton of the
Charlton Gene r., has invented a de-
vice for lowering = coffin aut imatically
in o the grave, and also an apparatus
that carries the dirt way from the grave
until the funeral is over. and then runs
the earth from the grave back and du-
mps 1t all in at one pull of the lever.
The device has been in ops alton ovsr a
year al the Charlton Cemetery and has
woi ked very satisfactorily. A short
time since MIR. Richmond aced the
machine on trial recently at Aspen
Grove Cemetery, near Burlington. and
the papers there speak favorablv of It's
operation. DIR. j. + Stanton, who owns
a controlling interest in the Charlton
O. metery has interested himself with
Mr.. Richmond in the manufacturing Of
the machine. There is no doubt of its
utility. and only needs to be seen in

erlofltY over the old method the hand

Eject of oyerfeedinr Hens.

There is much similarity in the feed
ing habits of pigs and fowls. Both are
greedy and will eat too much if per-
mitted. And each are subject, as a
result of overeating, to paralysis of
the hind limbs, due to disease of the
spinal nerves. Fowls thus diseased
are hardly worth treating, as cure is
doubtful and recovery slow. 1t is bet
ter to kill the fowl and bury it out of
the way. A blister or application of
turpentine to the loins is often found
effective with pigs, but it is not easv
to apply these remedies to birds. One
ounce of grain food a day is quite
enough for a hen. The larger por-
ton of the food should be made up of
green stuff, as grass, clover, or other
similar vegetable matter, with some
animal food of some kind.

How to Promote Laying.

When the hens cease to lay change
of food will sometimes start them tc
laying again, and it may be that the
food will supply want If the regu.
lar grain ration is given and no green
food can be obtained they will some
times get constipated, the result being
Indigestion. To avoid this and also
afford change give the hens oil cake
broken into suitable bits twice a
week, allowing pound of oil cake to
twenty hens. They will appreciate
the change and be benefited, as the oil
cake is cathartic in its tendency aad
also highly heterogeneous food.

the visible substance of the unseen
feeling-money is the most potent
factor in the creation of domestic rows.
To see set of expectant heirs all wait
ing on the reading of the will, and to
note the disappointment of those who
have not been well endowed, and their
frantic jealousy of and Gerry anger
against those who have, is to see an
object lesson in human nature among
the most saddening and degrading that
exist.
By reason of those legacies all the
former love is forgotten, and hatred
like to nothing SO much as the fire of
hell takes its place. Brothers and sis
tiers glover at one another over the
lump sum given to one and the small
annuity doled out to another, with
the laundering residuum that goes to
perhaps the already richest member of
the family, or the portion which ere
ates the head out of one of the minor
joints of the tail. How many affec-
tions have received their death blow
by the side of that divided heap Of
money-where each legatee thought
himself defrauded by all that the 9TH
ers had received, and where there were
disappointed heads by as many as
there were joints in the tail left in
their natural condition.
1t is an exceptional nature that can
take coolly the disappointed expecta-
ton formed by vanity or cupidity Of
the legacy to come after such and such
death, writes Mrs Lynn Linton, in
the Queen. For, indeed, money is the
touch-stone par excellence of character,
and baser hopes do sometimes so often
mingle in even with love where the
lover is poor and the beloved is
wealthy. Then comes the crash and
then follows the row; and flames
burst out where the flowers once
bloomed and the sweet waters once
flowed.

PROFITABLE FARMING.
Diversity and Rotation the Prime Essen
tials to Success.

DIVERSITY and Rotation the Prime ESSEN
tials to Success.
But very few farms are nowadays
run profitably unless on these lines.
Rotation involves diversity, but it
means vast deal more. Poor land
means poor crops. A soil which is de-
ficient in plant food cannot ever be
titled to the very best profit, but it is
within the reach of all TO enrich their
soil by turning under green crops, and
this is one of the easiest and cheapest
methods of applying fertility; and it
should not be overlooked that when
vegetable matter is used for fertilizing
something is gained beyond the mere
amount of rlant food supplied. The
mechanical effect upon the soil, by
means of which the other plant food
already there is made available, is
often hardly second to the direct gain
of manurial elements. One good point
a bout green manuring is that ii may
be done at any season. and in SO many
ways that some of them are open to
all. OF course clover is the great crop
for this use, and the seasons at which
it may be sown and used are some
what arbitrary; but there are dozen
other things, some of which may be
sown at any time that you happen to
have a piece of land vacant, and they
may be turned under with more or less
benefit at any period of their growth.
Peas are second to clover in adding to
the stores of nitrogen, and they may
be sown the latter part of the summer,
and yet make sufficient growth to be a
valuable manurial crop. Rye sown
even later may be turned under in
spring. Turnips sown in August or
September and turned under as the
bulbs begin to form are very valuable
They should be sown thickly, so as to
make a perfect mass of foliage. Even
weeds are good for green manuring,
although we do not advise growing
them for. that purpose.-Colman'
