Tornado Drills in Kansas.

We have fire drills in our public
schools in the east, and very effective
drills they have proved in more than
one case of emergency. In Kansas
they have no fire drills, or, if they
have, we have still to hear Of it. Out
there tornadoes are more to be dreaded
than fires, and the school children are
now being trained in tornado drills.
When tornadoes strike Kansas
town everybody makes at once for
prairies. 1t is the only way to escape
death from flying doors and chimneys,- Z
falling trees and topping buildings.
School children are trained to know
this from the cradle, and on these oc-
casions rush peh nell for the nearest
bit of clear prairie attainable. But
many children have been manned and

Grain for Live Stock.


It is a good plan to husband the
grain carefully. Economy is always
advisable. Economy means, however,
right action. It Goes not always mean
to save and withhold food from domes-
tic animals. Cattle intended for beef
or dairyproducts must be kept in thrifty
condition. During the next four weeks
the temptation win arise on many farms
to withhold the grsin as the new grass
comes on.
As rule it is best to furnish a
moderate amount of grain in early
spring along with the first grass and
this season with cheap grain it is
especially advisable. Much better
gain will be made in the growth OF
all the stock and the condition of the
animal for an exclusive diet of grass
through the summer isrendered more
favorable. To stop feeding grain at
the first appearance of grass allows
the frame of the animal to become weak
ened, and chronic weakness of the
digestive organs is liable to follow,
impairing forever she usefulness of
the animal and its progeny.
The fodder and other proyender
s6suld be furnished the animals in
connecsiSa with the early grazing and
should be ofsayed as tempting bait
that the average cf the daily rations
shall be such as to avoid bad results
from the extreme of moist food.
Where one does not have bright
provender of some sort to tempt the
grazing animals, along with their
grass, it is best not to permit grazing
until the pasture is well covered with
strong blades of green.
In the case of horses at hard work,
and of stock that isfattening to afnish
within the next sixty days, it is best
to restrain them from grazing in lati-
tudes north of the 40th parallel, until
after May Is.
During the first week Of grazing
with all stock, too, it is estusually to
put little lime in the drinking water.
Corn, rye and barley as grain food
for the stock should usually be mixed
with oats and shorts for best results.
A mixture of two kinds of cereals is

A Southern bishop arranged to

the bishop having failed to make his

THE BILL TO. .ANNUL THE LEASE


The bin to annul the lease has been
changed in several particulars 10 mee'
the views Of those who favor anhuiiihs
the lease but do not believe in authoriz'
ing sale of the property or repeating
charters already granted to other rail-
roads. When the bin was first intro
duced the News and Observer said;
"The bill in it's present shape may
not be perfect. If so, the opponents OF
the lease will doubtless make the prop
er amendments. But the bill con-
tains the root of the matter, and It's
main features meets the popular de
mand."
We do not know; it may be wise to
make other alterations in the bill. 1t
is not our purpose to wage this fight upon
particular bills. We care nothing about
the mere wording of the provisions of the
bill. so that every possible agency to Sc
cure the annulment of the lease is incor-
norated into the bill that finally becomes
a law. That, and that alone, is the OBJ
iect aimed mt by those who are making
this fight
The news & observer., 1897-02-09
TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM THE
ISSUE.

The attorneys of the Southern Railway,
referring to the Seaboard's offer, say
the change in the bill terminated the
Seaboard's offer, and seek TO show that
this question of the lease is a contest
between two railroads.
This is not the question at all. The
only effect upon the question of the
Seaboard's offer has been to prove that
North Carolina railroad is worth Mt least
$500. 900 a year rental That is all. The
bill pending in the Legislature Is not to
revoke the lease to the Southern at seven
per cent and lease it 10 the Seaboard at
ten per cent. 1t is to test the validity
of the present lease, and If the courts
set 1T aside, to advertise for bids and
THEN LEASE TT TO THE HIGH
EST BIDDER,
The attempt to lug in n fight of one
system of railroads against another TO
befog the real issue will not fool the
people The Seaboard's bid, which Pres
ident Alexander said would be Of value
to the Seaboard (which would get fat
thing), makes it clear to the humblest
man i'm the State that the lease at per
cent takes from the people OF the State
$4,000 annually for ntnety-rine years.
The only question is: Shall the Legis-
lature refuse TO set aside, as far as
it may, transaction by which the State
makes an annual present of $4,000 an
nually for ninety mine years, to the South
ern Railway? That is all there is in
it.
We believe it better to put this $780,,
900 annually into the public treasury
than into the pockets Of the Rothschilds
and the Morgans. We do not doubt
that 100000 of the people believe like
wise, and that they will not fail TO de-
mand OF their representatives that they
be trTuer to the people than to the cor
poration.
When the lease is annulled, then we
will let the Seaboard, the Southern, and
any other company bid for the lease of
the North Carolina road. The Sea!board's
offer does not affect the question i'm any
may whatever except TO prove that
the lease ought to be let for 100000 or
more and not for $2S0,000.
If the Southern will pay the most, 1T
ought to have the road.
If the Seaboard will pay the most, it
ought to have the road.
If somebody else will pay the most,
they ought to have the road.
