Turned the Joke on Him.
Frankfort Roundabout

A distinguished lawyer and politi-
clan of this city was travelling on the
train near Winchester, when an
Irish woman came into the car, with
her big basket, bundle, etc, and sat
down near the aforesaid lawyer.
When the conductor cana around
to collect far, the woman paid her
money, and the conductor passed by
the lawyer without collecting any
thing.
The good woman thereupan said
to the lawyer: AN faith an why
is it that the conductor takes the
money of poor Irish woman and
don't ask We, who same to be rich
mon, for anything?"
The lawyer (who had pass) re-
Piled: MY dear madam, I'm trav-

The woman looked at him for a

Notes on Frost.

The subject Of frost protection as
it relates TO the agricultural products
of the country is one of great i'm
portance to farmers, fruit growers
and gardeners. AS a means of fur
ni-hiDg in popular form the neces-
sary information in relation to
methods of protecting crops from
frost, the U. s. Department of Agri
culture has had prepared and will
soon issue Farmers Bulletin No.
lC4, entitled, "Notes on Frost"
This bulletin describes how frost
is formed. the seasons of frost, tells
when to expect it, discusses methods
of protection, and describes devices
for preventing rapid radiation of
heat, for charging the air with
moisture, and for adding moisture
to the air.
Some facts regarding freezes,
which are destructive alike to ten
der vegetation and to plants OF
harder growth, are also given.
The bulletin says that expert
ments and observation seem &c
establish the following facts: The
danger of damage from frost can be
materially lessened by placing
early and tender plants on high
grounds and crests, and harder
plants in low grounds and hollows
When ground can be selected in the
lee, or to the south and east of con
siderable bodies of water, the danger
will be further lessened.

Avoiding Disease In Poultry.

The hen is more subject to disease
than any of our domestic animals,
nor is this strange when it is cOnsid-
cred that she is forced to work con-
stantly nearly all the year in the
production of eggs, when naturally
she would lay but a few more than
her wild sister, who lays only enough
for one or two broods year. 1t is
usually the old fowls that are most
subject to disease, and even then it
is due to Encouragement, sucn as
lack of pure air, clean water, whole
some food or exercise. Fowls fed
largely on corn aud confined at night
i'm close quarters cannot long remain
in perfect health. 1t is plain, there
fore, why animals in confinement
are much more likely to be sick than
those on the range.
The best plan to prevent fowls
from ailing is to keep them, when in
confinement, as nearly as possible to
their habits on the range. In feed
ing use a variety OF grains, green
foods, bone and meat, with plenty of
pure water aud plenty of fresh air at
night. Avoid crOwding them while
in the house and furnish them as
much yard room as possible, tOgeth-
er with a scratching shed in winter
In case any of them are sick from
any cause, at once put them by them
selves, away from the rest OF the
flock. Only by constant study of

A Noble Revenge,

When Madame Sontag began her
musical career, she was Kissed off
the stage at Vienna by the friends of
her rival, Amelia Steininger. who
had begun to decline through her
dissipation. Years passed on and
Madame Sontag, at the height of her
popularity, was riding through
Berlin, when she saw child leading
a blind woman. Come here, my
child" said Madame Sontag; who
is that you are leading by the hand?"
That's my mother" replied the
child; "that's Amelia Steininger.
She used to be a great singer, but
she lost her voice and she cried so
much about it that she lost her eye
sight" Give my love to her." said
Madame Sontag, land tell her an
old acquaintance will call on her
this afternoon" The next week, in
Berlin, Madame Sontag sang before
vast audience gathered at a benefit
for that blind woman. She EN-.
ployed skilled occulist but he in
vain tried to give eyesight to the
blind woman. Until the day OF
Amelia Steininger's death, Madame
SOntag took care of her, and hel
daughter after her. That was what

that any farmer can give his cows
at home on the farm. Unlike the
young men and women at the col
lege, the cow does not get her train
ing directly from books, but she
does get it by her owner having a
sufficient knowledge of books to APP
ply scientific principles to practical
feeding; and the man that ignores
books and papers as a potent factor
in increasing the contents of his
pocketbook, is ignorai of one of the
prime elements of success. There is
no doubt that experiei CO is the best
teacher, but the experience Of two
men is better than one, and like
wise the experience of a large num-
Der of the most successful men in
any industry is worth a thousand
fold more than one self-cOnceited
man who thinks he knows it all.
First educate the man; then it will
be possible to educate the cow.

The use of the term green foods"
IN connection with feeding poultry
is more or less misleading, as it is
meant in the sense of bulky food
that is green in color. This bulky
food, cabbage, clover, roots, ensilage,
ETC., is necessary, not only as a
change from the usual dry foods, but
because it adds bulk and promotes
digestion precisely as it does in the
horse and cow.
Meat scraps are necessary for
fowls during the winter to make up
for the loss of worms and insects on
which they feed so heavily in spring
and summer. No other food will
take the place of meat in some form,
and when it is considered that a
pound of dried meat is worth two
pounds of wheat in egg production,
the expense is not great. When
only small fiocks are kept the daily
scraps from the table will generally
supply the wants of the fowls in this
direction.
The gg-eating vice on the part of
some hens can only be cured by
killing the offender or breaking up
the habit early. The practice of
putting mustard or other hot con-
diments about where the hen Will
get them is of little use in breaking
up the egg eating habit.
Do not thresh all the oats and
wheat. Leave enough in the sheaf
to keep the poultry in exercise next
winter. Nothing like it.
Very likely the old house would
be the better for new earth floor.
Remove an inch or two Cor more If
needed) of the old soil and replace
with new. Do this now.
1t is bad practice to feed fowls
about the stable door or to do any
thing to get them into the habit OF
frequenting the barn or stables.
Horses and hens should be kept
apart.
A quick and thorough way to put
limewash over the inside of house
is to use small bucket spray pump.
Turn the unused coops upside down
and treat them to a shower bath
and then store under cover.
Quarters should, before this, have
been arranged for laying pullets, 81
that disturbing them will not b'
necessary. Once they begin to lay
they should never be moved, els'
the laying will be checked at once.

Ear of Corn 10 1-2 Inches Long.

A Chicago Drover Journals special
from Atchison, Kan, says: what
is believed to be the biggest corn
ever grown in this part of the coun-
try, at least, is on exhibition in a
grain office here. One ear is 1917
inches long, and another measures
exactly ten inches in circumference.
Another ear is l41a inches long. The
corn was grown on the farm of Geo.
Liebig, of Westmore, Kan. Many
samples of corn from northern Kan
sas are coming in, and last years
big ears still on display are mere
dwarfs by comparison to the new
crop. The late corn is maturing,
and reports of enormous yields are
coming from all sections of northern
Kansas, where the big corn-produc-
ing counties of the state are located

Educating the Cow.

The Kansas Agricultural College
has been experimenting along the
line of educating scrub cows. At
present these cows present d sharp
contrast, both in appearance and
performance, to tho time they first
entered college. The education has
consisted of the application of
scientific principles to their feed and
care. On entering college, they
would eat little whole corn, and
seemed to relish a stTaw-stack, but
had to be taught to eat meal and
alfalfa. The first month the best
COW yielded 2S.S lbs. butter fat, the
second month 30 8 lbs, and the third
month 81 lbs. During the twelve
months she produced 1888 Z lbs. butter
fat (45l lbs. butter). Naluing skim
milk at loo. per hundred pounds,
she yielded S73 IL worth of dairy
products. But the value of her edu {.
cation does not all show in the first
year, for during that time her diges-
tive apparatus, her udder, aud her
ability to convert feed into milk, has
undergone a course of development,
shown by the fact that the first
month Of the second years record
shows a credit Of AS 10. butter fat
an increase of 81 per cent. over the
best month Of last year.

cows education Is that il is the kind

NASHVILLE. Sept. 1t President
II. T.. Morris If the National COlOred
Baptist Convention delivered IA
lengthy annual address to that body,
in session at this city, yesterday af
ternOon. He spoke at length on the
race question aud the matter If

ject, among other things, he said:
In our domestic relations to this
country, many Ofour people feel that
they have just cause to complain
of the treatment they receive at the
hands of the people among whom
they live. Aud the man is indeed
blind who cannot see that the race
feeling in this country has grown
continually for the last wO decades
But since the organic law of the land
stands unimpeached, there is room
left TO inquire, is it only race hatred,
or is it the outgrowth of IA lawless
spirit which has taken possession Of
many of the people in this country?
Perhaps 1t appeared when this spirit
OF anarchy first took hold in this
country, that it was directed to a
particular class or race Of people
But that can no longer be said. For,
indeed, 1t is evident that those who
VIII forget themselves so far as to
take the law into their own hands
and hang, shoot down and burn help

for law and order which exists in the
south when negro is involved,
exists in the North when the miners
or other laborers are involved. The
people have become crazed and have
lost their respect for the law and the
| administrators of the law, and unless
there is speedy change, no man
will be secure in life or property
The apologies which are being given

that the whole race is set of cow
ards because the inhuman treatment
administered to members of our rae
is not resented. But one thing is
true, the men who will take the
laws in their own hands and there
by prevent the piercing rays of the
letter and spirit of the law from
shining through the courts, upon the
crimes committed, are themselves a
set of towards. Ministers of the
gospel and 81 cd people everywhere
should lift their voices against all
classes OF crime which is black ening
the records of our country. The man
who will not lift his voice in defense
of the sacredness of the home and
the chastity of the women in this
country is unworthy to be called a
man. 1t is but right that the man
