IN FEAR OF MOB VENGEANCE.
Springfield, KY, in Sad Plight Over the
Possible Outcome of the Turnpike
Trouble.

Springfield, KY, September 14.-Every
night the city is parrolled by special
officers under command of the city mar
shall. People in the country not in
sympathy with the mob dare not come
to town lest they be suspected of giving
information and in our the personal VEN
gence of the mob, which is In the majori-
ty.
County officials are afraid to raise a
hand except TO protect the town. They
fear the consequence OF an attempt to
restore order with the meagre support at
their command.
County Judge Thompson has VIZ itten
for publication an appeal to all good
citizens to aid him in unfolding law and
order
The people Of this (Washington) ooun-
ty, voted last fall to make the turnpike
free throughout the county. AS the pixies
are owned by companies it is necessary
for another vote Of the people to assess
taxes to purchase the pixies. This vote
has not yet been taken and the authori-
ties cannot legally stop the toll gather
ing. This the people of the county do
not understand and they have destroyed
nearly all the toll gates in the county.
As the county authorities, whom the
mobs blame, 1.-Two here, this town has
been threatened with destruction.

lopes from the government printing

Plan Described.

Shredding and Feeding 1t A Western
Plan Described.
Each season brings improvements to
the corn huskers and fodder cutters
which are of especial value where the
season is short and farmers can afford
the machinery In some sections shred
ding has been done with the common
small grain thrasher. A Kansas contrib
utor to the Ohio Farmer tells that, as a
shredder, the thrasher used with all of
the cylinder spikes and two half rows
of concave pixies is IL decided success,
doing the work rapidly and well-in
fact, much more of success than as
shelter and cleaner of the grain, which
usually is left somewhat broken and not
clean enough for market, though in good
condition for feeding purposes: If, how
ever, the ground has been wet and is
frozen when the thrashing is DONE oaus
ing the earth to adhere TO the stalks,
a considerable quantity of Jumps of
frozen earth about the size of corn
kernels will be found in the grain.
If the corn is dry when thrashed,
there will be no difficulty in keeping
the grain i'll bin and the stover in large
quantities in NOW or stack. Dry au-
tumns are favorable to this work; there.
fore the huskers and shredders would be
better adapted to that and other sections
where the season is comparatively short
and the autumn moist. The authority
just quoted also writes:
Ear corn can be safely stored in large
quantities when so damp that if shelled
and piled up 1t would certainly be lost.
AS before stated, the fodder must be dry

NEW YORK'S CAPITOL
FOR A HUNDRED YEARS 1T HAS BEEN
LOCATED AT ALBANY.

The Centennial Soon to BE Celebrated In
That Ancient City Some Interesting
Early History-The Old Capitol and the
New.
For just 100 years Albany has been the
capital city of the Empire State, and on
Jan. 8, 1897 the centennial anniversary
of the selection of that city as the seat of
New York's Legislature will be appropri-
ately celebrated.
How the lawmakers happened to select
Albany for n home is an interesting bit of
state history One vote, cast at an OppOr-
tune time, decided the struggle which had
been waged for the capital There have
been efforts since to get the capital away
from Albany, but that city always carried
the day in the end, and there is every
prospect that 100 years from now it will
still be the seat of lawmaking for New
York

A Famous SiIO.

A New York exchange reports as fol-
lows on Governor MOrton's silo at Ell
lerslie farm: This year the corn crop
covered 600 acres, in four or five lots,
the largest being 81 acres. 1t was cut
by a patent harvester, which divides
the stalks and ties them with string.
The bundles are carried to the barn ON
wagons, cut up by a machine which
handles one ton in two minutes and car
ried by elevators into three silos 40 feet
deep, to supply $40 cattle during the
winter. The cutter is run by steam. the
harvester by horsepower. Eighteen
teams were employed and 43 hands, in

Chemical study of the c"tnto.

T. L. Watson. assistant chemist at
the Virginia station at B.acksburg, in
a bulletin on the Irish potato, considers
the potato from a chemical point of
view and compares tubers grown in diff
ferent states A brief resume of the
most important facts are
First. The ratio existing between
the specific gravity and stal CHI is not
fixed one, which is clearly shown, espe.
cially i'll the comparison Of the average
of the Connecticut grown varieties with
that of the other states Connecticut
shows a lower specific gravity and a
higher percentage of starch by about 2
per cent than the Virginia grown va.
rieties.
Second. The value of the potato, be.
ing reckoned from its table use, based
upon the amount of starch contained, is
very nearly the same. e., approx.
mately the same for the three districts
northern, western and southern. The
difference is slightly in favor of the
northern grown varieties,
Third. That the starch content va
ries for variety and locality.
Fourth. That some varieties require
more plant food than others. other con-
ditions being the same.

A FEEDING RACK.

when it is thrashed for damp slower is
a great material to develop heat when
shredded and stored in large quantities.
A little of the natural juice remaining
within the stalk is not nearly so bad as
outside moisture from rain or dew. The
western plan is to run the shredded sto-
yer directly into large racks i'll the feed
yards, where two or three men NOW it
away, just as they would NOW or stack
straw from the machine being careful
to keep the center full and we'll tramped
so it will turn water perfectly. A rack
16 by 80 feet should hold a good days
thrashing, or about IL acres of ordinary
fodder, without making the rack very
high.
Racks are made by setting posts in
the ground and mailing on fencing, be-
ginning four or five feet from the ground
and running them as high rs necessary
To keep the thing from spreading, the
sides are tied together by putting wires
across and twisting them together with
"a stick to tighten them. Around the
rack manger is constructed with fenc-
ing boards and posts for the cattle to
eat out of.
The sketch herewith will serve to
show the principle of constructing. 1t
shows small rack which is very con-
venient for feeding straw or hay in the
yard, as well rs for fodder when it is
made on larger scale The lower part
of the manger, below the opening for
heads of cattle to pass through, should
be boarded up tight for feeding fodder
The railing above the opening should
be strong pole or a hard wood by 4.
