about their feed if they are kept in
good health. They need to be fed regu-
larry given sound and wholesome feed,
but the feed not be of the costliest kind.
Good, bright hay and a small AMOUNT
of corn will keep them in good shape
during the winter, ana grass is all they
want in summer, although if there are
briers, elders or any other scrlDDy
bushes in their pasture they will eat
them up by way Of relish. They should
be protected from the storms of winter,
and sailed regularly the year through,
and for the amount Of labor involved
they will make better returns than any
other kind of stock.
Good Roads for Farmers.
The subject of good road making can
not be too strongly agitated, and we
will never have good roads until we
have succeeded in interesting the farm
ers in this work, and putting the man
agement into the hands Of those who
have some knowledge and experience
in the work they are now doing, and II
it were not possible to make but few
rods of good bed, 1t will demonstrate
to the farmers the necessity of better
roads; and when once they are thor
oughly interested in this subject we
will all see vast improvement in our
roads, and there will be no objections
to the paying of the road tax in money,
and the work of building good roads
put under the management Of persons
thoroughly competent, and who have
made q. study of these subjects and
who are capable of making the small
est amount of money pay the largest
interest to all-R. r. French in Farm

Liquid Air.
The commercial probabilities OF
liquid air as a refrigerant lies in the
fact that it is 344 degrees colder than
ice, containing the same amount of
cold in a space marvelously smaller.
A liquid air plant, it Is said, has al
ready been started in California, and its
value to that region is thus explained:
''Most of the fruit shipped without ice
is q loss. The cost of icing car from
Los Angeles to New York is 500, and
SIS per car for freight on the ice. In
addition the ice takes up one-quarter
of the carrying capacity of the car.
With completion of the plant we can
cool car at cost of less than $40 for
liquid air for the trip, and no cost for
the freight whatever. Here is q saw
ing OF $127 per car" What refers to
the .refrigerating for fruit means also
for the refrigerating Of meats or other
articles requiring the use of ice.-Ex-
change.
Big Demand for Trees.
The wholesale destruction Of or
ehards last winter has caused an UMPIRE
cedented demand for trees, says the
Denver Times, so that those who send
in their orders late may be obliged to
wait until another season. Fruit-groW-
ing might almost be classed as a pro
fession. The successful orchardist in

he will profit by their experience, but

In speaking of number of per-
sons being fined $50 or three month
in jail for carrying concealed weap-
ons, the Marksville Review says:
! "Judge DeBaillon certainly hit
'em hard and this is the only way to
stop the carrying of concealed weap-

would impose such heavy sentences
on pistol toters we are satisfied
that within very short time

A Huntington, w. Va, special OF
recent date says:
Two dromios could not look more
alike than the brothers and as for
the sisters-well, couple of green
peas in pod could be easier distin-
guished one from the other than thev.
The young men were twins and tim
Der men and the young women were
twins-just girls and pretty.
It SO happened that these brothers
and these sisters met at a social gath
ering. The young women were the
bellies of Breeder. The young men
were well-to-do and handsome. In
three weeks after the first meeting
the marriage bells were ringing in the
village church. Miss Dorothy Free
man became Mrs. Walter j. Swanson
and Miss Parthenia Freeman became
Mrs. Howard E Swanson.
This was all very unique and pretty
in its way, but it was just the be-
ginning. 1t happened about year
ago.
The young married folks went to
live on the old Freeman homestead.
Early yesterday Mrs. Walter Swan
son surprised her husband by pre-
senting him with three bright and
healthy girls.
One hour later Mrs. Howard Swan
son also surprised her husband when
he learned that she had given birth
to three bouncing boys.
II would rather have my twenty
eight pounds of girls than Howard's
thirty pounds of boys said Walter.
"My only regret is that one of them
was not boy 50 1 could name him

The Seasons Rice Crop.


Gustave A. jain, New YORK
rice authority, builder of rice mills.
owner OF the new plant at Beaumont.
and an importer an exporter, was at
st. Charles Hotel Saturday, after
three weeks in the rice belt of Louis
lana and Texas.
"What is my estimate of this years
rice crop?' repeated Mr.. jain, after
the reporter, and he stood for
moment, tapping one shoe on the
tessellated floor of the hotel corridor.
II think it fell shade under last
years crop. believe this seasons
output has been little overestimated.
The yield for Louisiana and Texas
one year ago was 100000 sacks.
In my Judgment, after being in tie
belt for three weeks, this years crop
will be about 1900, 900 sacks for
Texas and Louisiana, which means q
shortage of 200, 900 sacks.
But the quality is fine. / cannot
remember a year when the general
average was so good. The better
grades predominant. There is, In
fact, very little red rice. The heavy
rains the forepart of the season SEEM
I'd to drown it out. The low grades
are scarce and are in demand. They
are bringing good prices. Pic.

state executive committee holds

no way to shake it off. When a
primary election is ordered it
may or may not be held, but the
same majority is always rolled
up and handed in to the election
commissioners, as the case was
in Coahoma county. Ballot box
stufing is becoming unknown, as
elections seem TO be held by
proxies, certified to by proxies,
and members of the ring put in

law" Mules no longer eat bal
lot boxes. There is no necessity
for it. All that is necessary is to
have ballot boxes, a sufficient
number of tickets printed, accor-
ding to the number required to
make up the majority, and the
election can be held as we'll the
night before election day as on
that day. In short it is not nee
essary to hold an election at all.

Abraham LfneoIn's Old Home.

1t was soon after John P. Altgeld was
installed as governor Of Illinois, that
Robert T. Lincoln, in a carefully
worded letter addressed to His Excel
Iency, offered the old Springfield home
of his famous father as a gift 70 the
state Of Illinois, under certain pre-
scribed conditions. These conditions
we're that the state should keep the
old historic home in good repair until
the frosts Of time had withered and
destroyed forever the famous struc-
ture.
Yes, the old home, the haven Of rest,
Of Lincoln's law-practicing days in
Springfield, was to become the prop
erty Of the state, as long as beam and
rafter successfully fought the rsvsges
OF decay, and when that inevitable
hour was ushered in, the naked ground
was to revert to Robert I. Lincoln, or
his lawful heirs. After this manner
did the honored son Of an illustriOus
.countryman make a gift to the com
monwealth Of Illinois of the home of
MS childhood and youth.
For some years previous to the ad-
ministratiOns Of Governors Fifer and
AltgeId, Mr.. Lincoln had expressed to
oId-time friends in Springfield and
elsewhere MS dispIeasure at the man
ner in which his fathers old home was
being used and cared for. By every
tie Of blood and affection did the son
claim the right to change the aspect of
things in his fathers old home and to
preserve it as a worthy historic me-
mortal.
In its restored form the home is a
great resort for all visitors Who come
to Springfield; the register shows a
visitation Of twelve thousand last year.
The custodian is paid a salary, and the
state keeps the premises now in the
best Of repair. All the rooms have
been repainted and repapered, with the
exception Of one bedroom up stairs,
and in this apartment the same paper
has elung to the walls for over forty
years.
