Espenson, Oscar Frey, Walter 'hroder,
Herman Stein, VIM. Boelte, VIM. Rem
ner, Claus Gieschen and Rudolph Jens
OF the graduating class received their di-
plomas as teachers. 1t might be said
that the pupils of the other grades also
passed their examinations and were
transferred to Il higher class respectively.
The program for last nights exercise 8
were arranged by the faculty and the
graduating class, cards having been sent
out to their friends by the] college boys.
The college band furnished the music,
Messrs. Kelpe and Jens rendered an Or
gan recital, Oscar Frey an organ solo,
and VIM. Espenson deliveredathe vail
dctorlan address ir E 'glish. Prof.Schal-
ler made an address in German and Rev.
Gausewitz of St. Paul distributed the
diplomas. The boys will leave town i'm
mediately, except Messrs. Kelpe and Es-
penson. The latter resides here, while
Kelpe will remain here until Monday,
when he will make the trip to his home
in Cape Girardeau, Mo-, by steamer stop
ping over in St. Louis for a'few days
visit. All of the nine young teachers
are expecting to receive calls to paroch
iai schools.
The O. f. S. had Il most enjoyable en-
tvylalnmrn. at Masonic Hall Monday
r>-nin.. The large hall was crowded to
>'IfIocatlon, the gathering was the best
one of its kind ever attended in New
Tim. Ice cream, coffee, light luncheon
and other refreshments were served and
dancing was indulged in to the fullest
limit. Ecksteu's orchestra furnished
the music.
4 CRY of Indignation is emanatlng
from the ranks of republican organs be-
cause Gov. Lind some time ago recon-
mended that convict labor be employed
in constructing the capitol, meaning the
rough work only. These organs even
went so far as to bring organized labor
into requisition, claiming that Labor In:
IONS would be greatly harmed by this
proposed convict labor.
It is certain that several working men
would lose an opportunity to earn some
money if convict labor were to be en-
ployed, but the convicts must work, if
not as matter of economy, by earning
their food etc., so as a matter of human
lty. 1t has been stated by the authori-
ties, that in several penal institutions
prisoners became insane for want of oc-
cupation. The convicts as rule are
anxious to be set to work, it helps them
to while away more agreeably the loug
hours, that would seem endless if they
were kept in solitary confinement, with
nothing to occupy their minds. AS an
act of humanity the governors sugges-
ton ought to be appreciated by the Or
cans above referred to, who so vehem-
untly favored war in the name of hu-
manlty.
It is fact that all penal institutions
are engaged in some industry, which az

PREVENTING MITES.
Various Ways by Which Poultry
Rraiscrs Aim to Accomplish
This Difficult Task.

Keep your chickens healthy and
your success is assured. Keep them
free from mites and there is little dan
ger that they will not remain healthy.
There are many remedies, all more or
less successful, but the best remedy is
prevention. The first great problem
is to keep the roosting places and the
often problem. One farmer of my
acquaintance had perches that could
be easily removed. Every little while
he would remove them and pass them
slowly through a brisk fire. Another
treats the perches, nests and inside of
the coop with mixture of coal oil
and water, applied with force pump.
Still another swabs off the perches
with tar water. Another keeps dust
box for his fowls to wallow in. This
box contains a mixture of road dust,
wood ashes and sulphur. Any or all
of these are good. The idea is to keep
the mites away. One lady in neigh
boring county raised chickens by the
thousands every year. She was asked
how she kept her chickens free from
mites. This was her method: She
kept her perches wound with old rags,
and every few days saturated them
with kerosene and water. Mites never
troubled her chickens, nor did any of
the poultry diseases that follow in the
wake of these pests. She did nothing
else to keep her focks free from them.

WINTER MANAGEMENT.
How to Keep Young and OLD Poultry
in Excellent Condition During
~ the Severe Season.

To keep a poultry house dry and
warm line the side with tarred paper,
place loose boards or fence rails over
head and fill the loft with chaH (clover
chaff is best). It absorbs all the
dampness arising from the expired air
of the fowls, keeps the house warm
and comfortable, and the chaf is
ready to pack eggs in for shipping in
the spring. The great secret of sue
cessful poultry raising is to keep the
houses and runs dry and clean. Breed
from vigorous, healthy ancestors with
frequent introduction of new blood,
and keep up a continual warfare
against the lice. Sprinkle the houses
every two weeks with a strong solu-
ton of carbolic acid. This not only
destroys the vermin, but is one of the
best disinfectants that can be used.
It destroys the germs or bacteria that
produce cholera, gapes and other in
fectious diseases among fowls. Buy
a bee smoker and few pounds of
long green tobacco, and when a he1
matches her brood, put the little chicks
in a basket, cover them over and give
them a thorough smoking with tobac-
co. Tread the old hen to dose in
like manner. The tobacco will make
the little fellows giddy, but will not
injure them. This procedure win kill
every louse and does it Immediately.
If they are very lousy you will find tho
bottom of the basket lined with them
after smoking them. Three drops OF
carbolic acid in one ounce of sweet
oil is a good remedy to kill lice. Put
a little on the top of the heada OF
chicks and under the wings. Avoid
doctoring your fowls unless they. are
sick.-American Gardening.

THE OXEYE DAISY.
ALTHOUGH 1t Has Some Value for
Home Feeding, Yet Its Exter-
minatiOn Is Advisable.

The oxeye daisy is not nearly so
difficult to exterminate as many be-
lieve. If it is cut while in blossom it's
determination will be assured, and as
it requires ABOUT two weeks from the
time it first blooms until its seed is
sufficiently matured to germinate,
there is abundant time for cutting it.
One of the worst features of this
weedy growth in the estimation OF
the average farmer, is that when it
is IL the hay field it Injuries the quail
ity IF the hay. If the hay is to go to
market, that is true. Any admixture
wo lid injure the market value of hay.
Bus for home feeding the oxeye daisy
is about as valuable as timothy. 1t
contains less water than timothy, one
per cent. more protein, nearly the same
per cent. of fat, not quite four per
C cent. less of nitrogen free extract, and
only four per cent. more fiber. just
what it's palatability is we are not
prepared to say, but in one way or an
other, usually by cutting and mixing
with ground stuff, almost any rough
age can be made palatable. It would
pay, of course, to take some trouble
in feeding product that we were
forced to have, and which is as chem
ically valuable as analysis shows this
weed to be. But good farming de-
mands that we rid the farm of it as
soon as possible. Weeds, however they
may analyze, are not preferred by any
class of stock, except goats, and to
some extent sheep. Every ton of or
eye daisy removes from. the soil Is
pounds of potash, very nearly nine
pounds of phosphoric acid, 22 pounds
of nitrogen and 26 pounds of lime,
which is too much fertility to give up
to weed.-Agricultural Epitomist.

Adjusting the Cultivator,

To say that some men do not know
how to select good corn or do not know
how to cultivate corn or do not know
good deal, but it is true, nevertheless,
says a correspondent Of Iowa Home
stead. I am sure of this when I see
farmers planting corn that I know will
not grow under the mos* favorable con-
ditions, and when see men cultiva ting
corn who do not know how to adjust
the tenders, have to believe that not
all men who try to farm are farmers,
even though they live on farms. To
know how to adjust the tenders so the
pulverized dirt will fall through on the
small weeds, covering them up without
covering the corn, is a knack not pos
sessed by every farmer. I will not
work a half-hour with cultivator that
is not properly adjusted in every way.

They Are Finer Than Ever.

House-cleaning, in most homes, comes
but once year-in the spring-but it comes
twice a year for the Northwestern Linn
tied Trains. Twice a year both these ia
NOUS trains are run into the shops for
thorough overhauling and cleaning, and
such cleaning as they receive. Every bit
Of woodwork, nickel and brass is rubbed
and polished, all the mattresses and springs
are made over, the upholstering is done
over, new paint and varnish, and many
skilled mechanics finally turn out two
brand new trains In fact, the daily clean
ing these trains receive in Minneapolis and
Chicago is much more thorough than the
most tidy housewife gives her home.
These two famous trains Of the North
Western Line have just received their an
nual house-cleaning and are fresher, bright
or and finer than they ever were. They
run every night between Minneapolis, st.
Paul and Chicago-one going, one coming
and still are worthy the common and
well deserved opinion that they are the
most comfortable, elegant and easy ridin 6

burning. I assigned the cave to Mar
garet until such time as we might need
concealmeut and made bed of boughs
for her, which I covered with blankets.
When all was ready we left Margaret
to rest, and, cutting more boughs, set
them upright between contiguous trees,
thus improvising an inclosure in which
to conceal the horses, putting them in
charge of Mellodew, who was directed
to procure forage for them.
We were now in prime condition to
keep an eye on the railroad, PUNK and
1 dividing the watch between us day
and night. Punk, being merely a non
commissioned officer, while was lieu
tenant, insisted on taking the whole
night watch, giving me the day, but in
an army of two, with girl for reserve
we did not dare trust Mellodew-I
did not consider rank of any impor-
tance. I therefore divided the watch
into four hours each, and took the al
ternate watches myself.
After supper remained in the cave
for awhile, sitting beside the fire with
Margaret. There was plenty of dry
wood which Punk and had gathered
during the day, and I heaped on enough
to make rousing flame. Indeed, the
place would not have been habitable
without a continuous fire, and it was
arranged between PUNK and myself
that whoever was on watch should keep
it burning. I had my brierwood pipe,
cut from a laurel root during cam
paign in western Virginia, and, as Mar
garet did not object, I enjoyed COM
Portable smoke. There was a splendid
draught, and both the smoke from the
fire and that from the pipe rose readily,

"All right. I'll try that cabin yon-
der"
When we arrived there, Margaret and
[ took position in an orchard while
Punk went ahead to reconnoiter. He
was gone but little while, and when he
returned he told me to go with him to
the house.
"Are they union?" asked.
"Not much"
"Nlixed?"
''Not mixed, neither"

crate prisoners escapin'; that I had
got cit's clothes and you and Mel
]odew had stolen Yankee uniforms as
the best you could do under the cir
cunstances, and now you want to
change off to country farmer
The splendor of this falsehood accom-
plished it's purpose. Mellodew and
exchanged our uniforms for citizens
clothes, and, after breakfasting with
the family who furnished them, we pro-
ceeded on our journey.
We were now on the outskirts of
Charleston. The railroad ran through
the town, crossed the Hiwassee by a
bridge, and through the little town
Calhoun the opposite bank. The
prospect of going through these two
towns or over a railroad bridge was
not inviting. We therefore bore to the
right, crossed the river above by ap-
propriating a skif we found tied to
the bank, and half mile farther on
struck road which led us to hill sep
arating us from the point we sought.
Once on the crest, there before us was
spread out the valley Of the Tennessee,
while directly beneath was the rail-
road. Passing into ravine, Margaret
led the way to a crevice between two
rocks.
"There," she said, pointing, ''is the
mouth of the cave"

Eggs Are Cheap Food.

Like milk, an egg is complete food. If
fed on eggs alone young animals are
furnished with all necessary elements
for growing bone, muscle and all that
goes to make perfect animal of its
kind. A hen may lay 24o eggs per year,
but ought certainly to produce 100.
Eight eggs will weigh a pound, and 12o
will weigh about Is pounds, at the cost
of about one bushel Of corn, worth on
an average about so cents; at this rate
the eggs cost, so far as food is con-
cerned, about 31s cents per pouaa. or
4.16 cents per dozen. They usually
sell for IL to Is cents per dozen, and are
better for food at that than beef, pork
or mutton.-American Gardening.

HINTS FOR BEEKEEPERS,

The queen bee is a fully developed fe-
male bee.
Pollen is just as essential to brood
rearing as honey.
Bees fructify the flowers and cause
fruit to mature.
Store honey in warm, dry place to
hinder granulation.
An apiary is best on the south OF
east side of slope.
Leave only as much Icomb in the hive
as the bees can cover.
The workers are dwarfed female bees.
They never become impregnated.
s. Make the hive snug enough to retain
all the heat generated$by the bees.
The worker brood in the comb has a
very even and regular appearance.
BY instinct the bees build the drone
cells at the lower end Of the comb.
All queenless colonies should be
united with those having good queens.
