Az Enectiye skunk rrap.

Skunks are a nuisance about a
farmhouse or barnyard, and where
they get into the habit of raiding the
chicken yards, must be gotten rid Of
at any cost. Often they are allowed
to make and occupy nests in the
vicinity of the barn Oh house, and re-
main undisturbed on account of the
disagreeable consequences an inter
ference would bring about. The sv-
erage man would rather beard the lion
in his den than risk an encounter with
q skunk. A pair of these animals
made their abode beneath the floor of
a neighbor's summer kitchen, and as
the floor was not tight, got into the

himself was wounded, but not dangerously.
The shooting oceasioned extraordinary
excitement. Colson Is one OF the leading
politicians of Eastern Kentucky, and has
had a stormy. and .tumultuous lie. hay
ing been involved In many quar-
rels. He resigned his seat In Con-
gress, which he had held two terms, to
raise u regiment for the Cuban war. This
was the Fourth Kentucky, and It remained
In service for some months. Scott was =
lieutenant In 1t, and as he WAS q nephew OF

bad blood between them. Colson brought
charges against Scott, n the regiment
took sides. The two men had a fight at
ADMISSION, Ala, upon being mustered out,
and Scott shot Colson.
The Capitol Hotel lobby was crowded
with politicians and prominent men from
oil over the State as a result OF the trials
OF the election contests, now going on here.
Colson wa standing with q party Of friends
In the southwest corner Of the lobby when
Scott came Ia. The instant he caught

volver and began firing rapidly.
Demaree was between Scott and Colson,

Scott In the breast, and he staggered back

leading to the barroom downstairs. Col

Colson stood at the top OF the steps and

QUESTIONS FOR THE FARMERS.
A Suggestion to Agriculturists by Census
Director Merriam.

WASHINGTON, D. G. (Special,.-Director
Of the Census Merriam suggests to the ag-
ri~culturists OF the country that they use
some OF their spare time between now and
next June In thoroughly preparing them
selves to answer promptly and ac-
curately the questions relative to
the acreage, quantity and value OF
crops; the quantity and value OF all farm
products, animal and vegetable; the cost
Of fertilizers and farm labor, and, In fact,
all the items OF farm operations for the
calendar year 1892, which the census
~enumerators ara by law compelled to
ascertain. This, he says. will result IN a
full and accurate census.
The Penn's Grove record., 1900-01-19
Success with Hogs.

If the farmer enjoys the presence Of
swine on the farm and takes pleasure
in seeing them well fed he will gen.
orally succeed with them. Then the
only question he need consider is how
many he can handle and keep them
healthy. No farmer should have SO
many hogs that he cannot have new
feeding grounds to put them on if
there is danger from disease, or SO
many that they cannot be shifted to
different fields during the year. On
an eighty-six acre farm for nearly ten
years we were able to send to market
in two lots from seventy to eighty
hogs each year. This was the product
of five sows having two litters each
year. But when we undertook to
double the number of brood sows and
nearly double the product of fatted
animals we had trouble. The first
year we put on the market over nine
ty, with no loss worth considering.
The second year when we wanted
to put off 125 we got all our available
pasture land under the tramp of the
hogs, and when disease came We had
no opportunity to divide them and
put them On new feeding OF pasture
land. The consequent results of such
conditions were doubtless greater than
they would have been had we been
able to cut the herd to pieces and put
them on fresh land. We shall imme-
diately go back to about the same
number that we had the greatest sue
cess in handling. Instead Of i've
sows we will keep six or seven, az We
have better shedding and other ar
rengements than we had when we
kept five. We could doubtless carry
the greater number if we had more
lots and spent moretime feeding grain
products, but this would increase the
cost of the pork very much over that
made from clover and grass. We aim
SO far as possible to convert thes6
products into pork, and believe it is
more in the line of natures way and
certainly is conducive to the health of
the swine.-John NJ. Jamison, in
Farmers Advocate.
