CAbbages In Winter.

The old plan Of burying, or putting
cabbage in trenches during winter, OK
for winter use, has become obsolete,
and a more simple and easy plan has
been adopted. Where cabbage is grown
on large scale for shipping purposes,
the best plan is to lift the cabbage and
stack them two tiers deep and as close
ly as they can be PLACED in an orchard,
or wood if convenient. and cover with
leaves to the depth of two or three
inches, the leaves to be kept in place by
q slight covering Of earth, says Amer
lean Gardening. In this way the
heads will keep perfectly sound al!
winter. and they can be easily
taken up as wanted for ship
ping. For family use cabbages can
be kept in the same way. only it will
not be necessary to make the second
layer. 1t is quite important to keep
them a little below the freezing point.
1t has been suggested to keep them in
some convenient building, but this
plan has always resulted in failure, as
the dry atmosphere is fatal; cabbage
must be kept moist and cool. the slight

Digestive Power Of Anlm1l0.
The digestive and assimilative pow
ers of animals are much more vigorous
when they are young than when they
have grown old, and in selecting cattle
for feeding purposes this should be
borne in mind. This difference Ia
plainly shown In the tests that have
been made from time to time, the gain
being much more rapid during the first
two years than it is afterwards, and the
profits from feeding eorrespondingly
greater. 1t is frequently the case, to
be sure, that old cattle grow very fat.
but It must be borne in mind that this
has come about from long-cOntinued
feeding, and the question il to be con-
sidered whether, when the value of the
food consumed Is taken into account.
there is any profit left. In the selection
of animals it should not be taken for
granted that q large beast will neces-
sarily eat more than a sLlall one, for
this Is not always the case. Much de-
pends on the powers of assimilation.
It has ofen been noticed that one lot
Of cattle will thrive and make rapid
gain on much less food than another.
Careful watching of the stock while be-
ing fattened, and keeping an accurate
account of the cost of food consumed,
will soon enable man to make such
selections as may be depended on to
show good returns.-Ex.

DiyersifyinE sric1ltural PAoducts.
The first thing that suggests itself
to my mind is diversifcation OF our
agricultural products. We are now
importing from foreign counties agri
cultural products Of An ayersge value
Of $3S9. .651 .012, which is H,.le more
than one-half of all our impyrtatiOns
Of all kinds. Some of these .InpOrta-
tions cannot be prOfitably Lyoduced
here: a large share of them tan and
ought to be produced here by Ameri-
can farmers. This world gt!e en-
ployment to labor in this country and
ought to be produced here by Ameri-
can farmers. This would give en-
ployment t0 labor in this cOuntry aid
keep at home the millions that 60
abroad to pay for foreign labor. Such
diversiication would also reduce the
production Of the cereals which have
been produced in late years at q loss.
It is folly for us to try to force upon
consumers more of any product than
their wants demand. We must learn
to supply them with what they want
and then make them pay fair prices
for the same. In this way We may
exercise some control over our busi-
ness and realize some profit on our
labor and investment.-J. H. Brigham.

Details. Given in Full Below.

Officer Henry II, Layne was sho
and instantly killed without any sor
of provocation by E. w. Merritt Sat
urday night at $40 o'clock. Fiv'
minutes later Merritt was himself I
corpse, having been killed in a stree
duel with Officers Cravens and Moor
man, who witnessed the murder o.
their brother officer from scross the
street.
The tragedy began in the doorway
of the saloon of w. w. Lacy, on Sew
enth street near Main and ended in
the saloon itself, where Merritt re-
treated.
At ten O'Clock Coroner Allensworth
held an inquest over the body OF
Merritt and the officers were acquit-
ted of all blame.
THE BLOODY STORY In DETAIL.
Saturday was busy day for the
police. A big crowd was in town and
along towards night there were sever
al cases of drunkenness being looked
after by the police. Some of these
were country people, some were oc'
casionals and some were chronic
buns. The officers kept these men
under surveillance until all but Wal
ter Merritt had been either sent home
or locked up. Merritt lived in town
and was we'll known to the police.
He had been drinking all day and
along towards night began to get
boisterous. Officer Layne went to
him and urged him to go home and
not get himself into trouble. Merritt
promised to do so but instead of 60
ing home he bought four cartridges
for nickel and loaded four barrels
of his five-chamber revolver and re-
NAMED in and about Lacy's saloon.
OF course this preparation for hostil-
tiles was not known until after the
shooting.
About 8 o'clock Policeman Layne,
Lucian Davis, John Feland, Jr,, and
Lee Ellis were standing on the pave
ment on the South side of East Sew
enth street, opposite Lacy's saloon,
engaged in pleasant chat. Pretty
soon Davis left for home, Feland and
Ellis turned into the barber shop of
Boyd and Pool and Officers j. Mack
Crayens and JAS. N. Norman came
up and joined Layne. Cravens was
Layne's pertner on night duty and
Moorman,w who went off active duty at
six o'clock, was getting ready to go
home. John Feland had just taken
his seat in the BARRIERS chair nearest

served to famliariZe the public in some
measure with the details of the system
advocated by Postmaster General Gary,
but in order to give the full weight or
his Endorsement to the measure when
will shortly come ND before congress, the
postmaster general has formally embod-
led his views on the subject in his first
annual report; and this report is now III
the hands of President Mckinley.
In support of the prOsposed system,
Postmaster General Gary argues thal
postal banks are today in successful OPP
Grafton all over Europe, and that MIL
lions of dollars which would otherwise
be squandered are saved to European
toilers by means OF these benefcent IN
situations.
According to the figures cited by the
postmaster general there are not less
than 100000 depositors in the postal
savings banks of Great Britain, Whle
the total savings of these depOsltors ag-
gregate the enormous sum OF S5oo,ooo'-
600 Instead of conflicting with other
banking Institutions these postal eStap-
lishmcnts tend rather to promote thelr
interests, as they serve to encourage
habits of frugality and thrift ana W
ameliorate the condition of the poor.
Under our present banking system there
is little or no inducement held out TO
humble depOsitOrs, except by private
corporations here and there, and the re-
suit is that large sums of money when
might be saved to the poorer classes OF
our people are suuandered from year TO
year. The advantages of having the
government take the matter in hand are
various. In the first place uniform reg
ulatiOnS would be secured, and IN the
second place absolute security could be
guaranteed 10 depOsitOrs, enabling them
to feel that the strong arm of the gov
eminent was behind the vaults which
contained their hard-earned savings.
Again the government could operate
these banks with the greatest ease IN
connection with the various pOstOttce
establishments scattered about over the
country and the people would find II
perfectly convenient to lay by their earn
ings in repositories so close at hand.
Besides encouraging the poorer classes
to habits of thrift, the effect of such
system would be to give to its depOsitOTS
& stronger and more tangible interest in
the government. Such is briefly the ar
gument which Postmaster General Cary
makes in support Of the system and so
clear is the apparent good to be de-
rived from it that the wonder is, as the
postmaster general expresses it himself,
that the system has not long ago been
adopted.
Within the next few weeks congress
will pass upon the feasibility of the pro-
posed measure and in all likelihood
favorable action will be taken in regard
to it.

as those of New England; the winters
are far more endurable. In short, there
is less fuel to buy, and people can keep
comfortable at far less expense.
The character of the labor, so far as
experiences is concerned will change
and wages will be measurably higher,
but the result will be better work, finer
products and larger results. How will
this help the New England mills? If any
of the experts know, will they please
inform us?
The theory of The Springfield Re-
publican is that the domestic production
is largely in excess of the domestic mar
ket. with the additional difficulty OF
"the general tariff policy of the country:
which prevents the industry from secur-
ing ample markets outside Anything
and everything except the right thing
There are thousands and thousands of
men, women and children III this coun-
try who lack shirts. frOcks and other
garments. There are thousands of men
wearing one shirt a week who used to
wear two, three and four shirts. There
are thousands of men, women and chill
dren in this land of the free who have
hardly enough clothes to cover their
nakedness. One of the best known men
in the country, a popular author and
close observer, recently told the writer
Of this that he knew of scores of wives
and daughters of farmers in the west
who had not been to town in three years
for lack of clothes to wear.
What is the trouble? Lack of money.
What has practically destroyed the do
nestle market for cotton goods? Lack
of money What, lack of money in
this land of milk and Hanna, when there
are millions in sight in New York, Bos-
ton, Chicago and Philadelphia? How
can that be? The simplest thing in
the World-lOW prices Have the treas
ureys of the New England mills as much
money at their command as they had
four years ago? If not. why not? Low
prices What caused low prices?
Go TO, Let the mill men work it out
for themselves. If they are blind, let
them pay the penalty Of it, for it is will
full blindness. They can get along some
how; but how about thes poor opera
tiyes. whose wages are TO be reduced
once moro? Do they propose to remain
tied to the f1y-whoel of the money pow
cr? If so, let them pay the penalty OF
their ignorance.
In New England a 50-ccnt dollar is
"dishonest" dollar. Therefore 4 l-2-cent

Tha Silrer Discussion.

In another co1umn we print a brief
but very interesting letter from Mr..
Moreton Frewen, the well-known Eng
lish bimetalIist, in which he brings out
the significant fact that the ground on
which the Indian government refused
to open the minis is a complete admis-
sion of the truth of the contention by
those who favor the free coinage Of sill
YER The Indian government declares
that the rise in the price of silver which
would follow the roopenlnS0 1 the Ihd-ah
minis. in connection with those OF
France and She United states, would
for time at least. put an end to the
export trade of Indie.
Now here is an official statement that
sives the whole case away, so far as the
arguments Of American bimetallists are
concerned. In what does the export
trade Of India consist? Mainly in wheat,
raw cotton and cotton goods. The In
dian government announces, therefore,
that the restoration Of silver would prac-
tically take away from that country the
wheat and cotton market Of the world.
1t could not compete with the United
States. What is true Of India would be
