THE RANKIN RARm

The Brandon News gives an in
teresting account of the Rankin
state farm, on which are slxty-fiye
convicts. They have done a great
amount of work. Land that has
laid out for years is being put in
to cultivation. Old bitches have
been cleaned out and new ones
dug where needed, and the farm
has the appearance Of thrift and
Industry. There is Il general man.
ager on the place, an overseer,
Eve guards and a night watchman.
The guards are so stationed in the
field that the convicts cannot get
out of range of some of the guns.
All the convicts are required to
go bed at eight o'clock. They are
locked in the pen, made of hewed
logs foot square. The night
watchman makes regular rounds
and every hour rings big bell to
signify that he is on the outlook
and all is we'll. The convicts are
up at 4 o'clock in the morning,
breakfast 10 soon over and the
days word begun at sunrise. An
hours rest Is had for dinner. On
Sunday every convict IL required
to take a bath and allowed "a
stretch himself in the sunshine.

a CHANCE FOR DEMOCRACY.
The fact that the republican con-
ventlon which will shortly meet at
ST. Louis may nominate man who
is not general favorite with lis
party, gives the old dem ocratic par
ty another chance for victory.
But the democratic party must
not grow indifferent or careless, it
must grapple the bull by the horn
and subdue its fierceness.
Above oil let there be but one
.r=onel-- democratic party, the sill
yer man and the gold man, whatever
the platform adopted at the Chicago
convention, must be democrat and
he must battle for the supremacy Of
democracy as though the success OF
the patty rested on him alone.
Democrats may have their little
differences now, they may call each
other hard names, but on that great
day, when each Is factor In perret-
uating the time honored principles
OF Monroe and Jefferson, let each
cleanse himself Of prejudice and vote
for democracy and right.

Says q revenue agent: "There
10 . great popular misunderstand-
ing about moonshine whiskey. II
10 nothing but raw high wine---the
crudest kind of whiskey-and
most of it is made right in the
big cities. You take barrel of
molasses, some yeast and a still,
such as many people use for. dis
tilling water, or even less than
that, you can let the vapor pass
through a glass pipe covered with
cold water, and you can make all
the moonshine you want. The
foreigners in New York city make
thousands of gallons of it for pri-
vate use in this way. All whiskey
is white as water when first made.
If kept in glass it remains white
for years, as you see in the case
of Irish and Scotch whiskey. Put
into wood it will in time darken.
owing to the rottening of the oils.
Moonshine is usually white be-
cause not kept long enough to
darken, or If kept, being usually
stored in bottles or jugs.

A correspondent of the jack
son Clarion-Ledger says: Georgia
may boast of having the oldest
wcman in the South, but Copiah
county, Miss, has the oldest ne
gro man and the smallest white
man in the United States, so far
as heard from. Frank Buckley,
a negro man living near Beaure-
gard, in Copiagh county, is one
hundred and twelve year of age,
is quite active an able to earn a
living at the humble vocation of
cutting stovewood of citizens of
Beauregard and Wesson. Gen.
James Ballew, a white man, was
born and raised near Linden, in
west Copiah, where he still re-
sides, is thirty-fye years of age,
thirty-two inches high and weighs
twenty-eight pounds.

POULTRY NOTES.

Feed the chicks cut grass every dav.
You can't feed your young stock
| too much.
Mark your best chicks. You'll wish
| you had, in the fall
The incubator is fast displacing the
hen as hatcher of chicks

for fowls that have anything like q

Coal oil all the nests once week

the nesting material and then replenisb

Newly cut grass rs soon as it is
thoroughly wilted will make excellent
nesting material. Cut it before the
heads get ripe.
Set your hen on the bare ground, in
hot weather. She will be more com
Portable and will hatch more chicks,
and not get lousy.
All drinking vessels should now be
thoroughly washed ont every night.
An occasional cleansing of them all
with lime or soda water will also be in
order.
Even Mt ten cents dozen your hens
are bringing in more money now than
IN winter when they were twenty-five
cents, for the hens lay four times
as many eggs now.
Now look ont for lice. Don't be
afraid to sprinkle kerosene all around
the inside OF the house, especially in
the roosting places, on the perches,
and dust the nests with insect powder.
Eternal vigilance will now be the
price Of chickens. Vermin swarm in
hot weather, and the flock that has
to combat with vermin pests and hot
weather will soon become an exceed
ingly sorry-looking one.

GOOD ROADS POINTERS.

A broad tired wagon doesn't hurt
any road.
Motor carriages require good roads
and good roads are good.
Poor drainage and narrow tires are
the chief road destroyers.
Good roads and bad roads, their
advantages and disadvantages" should
be much discussed subject at farmers
institutes.
In France all carriages are taxed.
Those with seats for one or two per
sons, SO u year lin round numbers) :;
those with seats for three, $15, and for
four, $40; while bicycles and tricyclcs
arc taxed 81 each.
In France wagon tires are from three
to ten inches wide, usually from four
to six, depending upon the weight of
the load. In Germany the law pre-
scribes that wagons for heavy loads
must have n width of tire of not less
than four inches.
The roads of Europe are the growth
OF hundred years. Napoleon began
those in France for military purposes 4;
those of Germany largely grew out of
the same causes, while Italy had only
to keep up the ancient but splendid
highways of the early Roman conquer
ors. In England good roads generally
have arisen in the last fifty years. -

the nights milk. All that need go iu-
TO the house is the sweet, fresh cream,
thus tightening the labor there.
The diluted skim milk is fed TO the
pigs, the costly butter fat extracted
from it being replaced by the cheaper
fat in corn meal In such proportions
as are needed to feed TO growing or
fattening stock. No time is lost and
no power or labor required by the di-
lutG process.
As soon as the milk is mixed with
the cold water, the separation goes on
naturally while the farmer may be at
tending TO other duties. In this way
farmers can manufacture their supply
into butter for time and regulate
! the supply of milk sent to market and
by cooperation control the price, in
stead of having the contractors die,
tate the price they shall take.
The following extracts are from a
letter written by the late L. S. Has
kell, OF Belchertown. In his expert
ence Dreaming by dilution was very
satisfactory: 81 have been on IL farm
most OF my life, have invested in some
improvements and theories, and had
about come to the conclusion to de-
sert farming as it cost so much to keep
up with new and expensive theories
and machines. l last invested in
creamery as the ne plus ultra for
butter making. The summer of 1890
came and no Ice, as none over four
inches chick was gathered. l thought
to try water in milk and began in
August when milk would sour in eight
hours with scarcely cream enough to
say cream. l followed it two weeks
with one dollars worth more butter.
Then [ remodeled my cans and ex.
perimented in contrast with ice cream
cry and found results in every respect
without ice equal to those with ice.
The past summer | have followed the
same idea and have reduced more than
half the work for the housewife.
The expense is not rs much as the
old way of pans. | strain the can
half full OF milk then fill up with COO
water, say fiftysix degrees Fahrenheit
or less, set in cool shady place, out
of doors if you please, but cover SO no
aust or flies can get in.
elm two hours draw of the milk:
you have all the cream you can get
any Why Cuurn cream ms near sweet
as you can, wash in granular state,
salt to your customers taste; you
have all the butter your COW can make.
Save your hard work, getting ice, as
you do not require ice by the ton for
the season as water of fifty six degrees
or less is all you need"
The quantity of milk that can be
worked by this process per day de-
ponds on the number or size of lie
cans or watts used; this again will de-
pend on the number OF cows in the
dairy. The less number of cans or
watts used the less labor to keep them
clean and sweet as large can will take
but little if any more time for care
than smaller one.
Cream should not be churned Oh tho
day that it is taken from the milk, but
should be we'll stirred and allowed to
ripen evenly before it is pat into the
churn.
One advantage of churning the
cream sweet is, that the butter milk is
very sweet and rich.-Farm, Field and
Fireside.

means of working off their superhous
muscular, nervous aud organic en-
ergy. The effect of cycling within
the physical capacity of woman acts
like charm for govt, rheumatism and
indigestion. Sleeplessness, so.callel
nerves and all those petty miseries
for which the liver is SO often made
the scapegoat, disappear in the most
extraordinary way with the fresh air
inhaled, and with the tissue destruc-
ton and reconstruction effected by
exercise and exhilaration.
The large abdominal muscles do
little in riding down hill or on level
ground, but in hill climbing great
strain is thrown upon them. There
are many reasons why women should
not overtaX this group. Already
thousands Of women qualifying for
general invalidism have been rescued
by cycling. Women are very subject
to varicose veins in the legs. Cycling
often rids them of this trouble. a
girl who has TO stand for hours and
hours serving behind counter gets

her bike Her circulation has been
