A slight breeze has been stirred
up in the city by the discovery
that Mr.. George Maledon, who
was so long connected with the
Jail in this city and who ofiiciated
at so many executions, and a man
named Harmon, who lived in Rog-
ers, had made arrangements TO buy
the old gallows for exhibition.
Mr.. Harmon is compiling a book
which is TO give a sketch Of Mr..
Maledon's life and a brief history
Of the criminals who expiated their
crimes Oh the gallows. This, and
the gallows, ropes and other relics
OF like cheerful nature, were TO be
exhibited through the country.
There is no doubt the enterprise
would pay. At a recent session
Of the council a resolution was
passed authorizing the sale Of lot
Of stuff which is cumbering the old
garrison grounds, among which
was the gallows, but is not likely
the sale will take place now. The
people Of the city have entered a
kick which will probably put a
stop TO further proceedings in the
matter. Fort Smith has been ad.

FACTS FOR

When the sheep are sheared is one of
the best times to Gull out the unprofit-
able ones.
No other instrument is so well adapt
ed to pulverizing small clods as the
plank drag.
A great man once said that the most
important secret of success with crops
is to remember to stir the soil.
Even half q dozen sheep are better
than none, as they will keep down the
weeds and prevent the farm from be-
ing seeded with such pests.
Feed up the corn fodder, millet and
other cheap forage as closely as may be
and saw the timothy hay, which is a
cash article, while the others are not.
Prof. Henry, of the Wisconsin expert
ment station, says that cabbages have
a good deal of value-more than pota-
toes or turnips-as swine feed, especial
ly in the first par of the fattenipg Pc
Rod.
Not only must the soil contain food
elements, but they must be thoroughly
mixed and incorporated in the soil to
become available as plant food. There
fore, let the ground be heavily MANFRED
and every square inch for a foot in
depth well pulverized.
Farmers who sowed crimson clover
last fall will have an excellent fertiliz-
ing material for blowing under. No
heterogeneous fertilizers will be required
where crimson clover has grown, but
application of phosphates and potash
will be beneficial. They pst but a
small sum, however, compared with the
substances containing nitrogen.
It is seldom that a farmer can accu-
mulate a sufficient amount of wood
ashes for a large field, but on farms
where wood is used there is a limited
supply, which can be put to good use
on the garden or on the young clover.
Ashes are excellent also on all grass
lands and in orchards. They are APP

FARM N GARDEN.
MARKETING SHEEP.
Right After shenrinR Is n Good II.

-
Right After Shenring IL a Good Time
to Sell Them.
When the sheep are sheared it is a
good time to select out those to be mar.
keted. Under present conditions it is
hardly advisable to keep sheep that do
not produce good 1eeces of wool. The
quality must be such as to bring good
prices, and the quantity must be suf-
fcient.
When a select hock is kept on a small
farm, nearly or quite all of them should
be good breeding ewes and bring a good
lamb every spring in addition to grow
ing a good fleece of wool. .
Many farmers make a serious mistake
in failing to feed their stock until they
are in a good marketable condition. In
many cases sheep well fattened for mar.
ket will bring twice as much as those
sold in a poor condition. Not only is
more realized on account of the increase
in weight, but a better price can al
ways be had per pound for good fat
sheep than for poor ones. With prop
CT management sheep can be fattened
easily and rapidly, but they are easily
cloyed by overlooking and require more
care in this respect than almost any
other kind of stock. Commence feed
ing a small quantity of grain and grad.
ually increase until they are given all
that they can eat up clean. 1t is not
best to depend upon corn alone. While
it is II of the best fattening foods, yet
if given to sheep daily as their princi-
pal ration they soon tire of it and will
not thrive as they should.
Any animal, when fed heavily, should
have a good variety, and this is es-
peciaily true of the sheep. If kept in
good thrifty condition six weeks feed
ing of all that they viii eat of a good
fattening ration will fatten them for
market. But with sheep that have been
poorly wintered longer feeding will be
necessary. While corr can be made the
principal ration, bran, shipstuff, oats,
barley and oil meal should be given to
make up q good variety, and in this
way keep the sheep in good appetite.
See that they have all that they will
eat up clean and at the same time are
not overfed.
With old sheep the hest plan of fat
tening is On good farm pasturage,
changing from one place to another
every two or three weeks. It is difficult
to fatten old sheep on dry feed of any
kind. Fairly good success may be
realized by feeding ground grain, but
the more economical plan is to depend
upon good pasturage, selling whenever
a good marketable condition is reached.
1t is usually good economy to fatten
and market the old sheep during the
spring and early summer rather than TO
keep them over.
Always select a sufficient number of
young, vigorous ewes to take the places
of the old ones sold off.-St. Louis Re-
public.

rrlbute to the Orleans King By On
OF HIS Sons.

Tribute to the Orleans King by One
OF His Sons.
A few weeks ago the Due d'Aumale
read before the French academy am
account Of a manuscript Of his fathers,
King Louis Philippe, which consisted of
notes ON the 2,277 sentences of death
brought before that monarch for re
view during his reign of IS years. The
following extracts are Of interest:
Every evening my father waited Till
the last visitor had quilted my moth
er's salon, and then, after having lis
tened to ministers, ambassadors, peers,
generals, projects. frequently after hav-
ing sustained long and warm discus
sions, and battled with Europe or the
opposition, whatever the ~anxieties OF
foreign, or the difficulties of domestic
politics, he returned to his study, and
by lamplightspent part of the night in
perusing the dispatches and the days
reports, especially those Of the minis
ter Of Justice, on the persons con-
demned to death. He never went to
bed without having examined and
weighed the reports, and committed to
writing the grounds of his decision, or
Of his doubt if he thought further con-
sideration necessary. especially if he
was afraid of not being able to save the
convict.
Louis Philippe and his son were the
objects of nine attempts at -assassina-
ton. The first was not very serious.
That of July %, 1896, was terrible
Fieschi's internal machine had dashed
to the ground, killed or injured a mar

review, and was marching in front,

exclaimed my father, with a gesture of
the hand, and the review continued.

"These few pages bring out certain
grand sides Of my fathers character:
ON the one hand the ever-watchful anX-
ietY to defend the humble and weak;
ON the other the deep feeling of duty,
his firm resolution to listen before
everything to the voice of his royal con-
science, the respect for human life, and
respect for law. A few days before the
fall of his throne he was still endeavor-
ing to save the lives of condemned men,
and amid the confusion of the oath of

for some illegal signature, he coldly re-
