- In Nebraska State bounty of So
is paid for every coyote or wolf scalp.
Lately the bounties have been so much
more numerous as to arouse suspicion,
and it is said that investigation shows
that the reason why wolves are in
creasing is that people are actually
raising them like stock for the sake Of
the bounty. Wolf-raising seems to be
more profitable than farming or ranch :
ing. 1t is stated that one man raised
100 wolves last summer.
Snow is said to offer surprising

Importance Of the Male.

In no department Of farming does
the value of high qualities in the male
show more quickly or to greater ex.
tent than in raising poultry. An old
poultry raiser has epitomized this
fact as follows:
The Importance of good pure bred
male is possibly more pronounced il
the fowl than in any other kind of
live stock. This is 80 because the in
fuence of the values are 80 pronoun-
ced in the progenoy.
The plumage Of the chicken is key
to the breed. and with many breeds
the uniformity of plumage is fixed by
one CROSS. The barred Plymouth
Rock, for instance, will carry his color
to marked degree on his stock. This
being the case, it is very important
that careful attention be given to the
selection Of the male.
The male in the chicken flock should
at ell times be full blood. The hens
may be Of different breeds or no par
ticular breed, but all the offspripgs Of
pure bred cock bred in this lot of
mixed breeds will be ha.f breeds Of
the particular strain or breed the pure
bred cock represents. The hen con-
trola only the breeding Of suoh chicks
aa hatch from the eggs, while the
cook controls the chicks that hatch
from all the flock he is bred to.
It is an easy matter to breed up q
flock Of common poultry to fine lot
Of high-grades. Two years will make
them three-quarter bloods, and this
gives fine lot Of fowls of most any
breed.
The most important matter is to
start at the work OF good breeding,
keep it up, buy good males each year,
keep clear of inbreeding and in q
very years you can have beautiful
flock and one that will be satisfaction
and profit to own.

Danger Of Colds and La Grippe.

The greatest danger from colds and
la grippe is their resulting in pneu-
monia. i reasonable care is used,
however, and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of :hors-
ands who have used this remedy for
these diseases, we have yet to learn
of asingle q case having resulted in
pneumonia, Which shows conclusively
that it's certain preventive Of that
dangerous malady. It will cure cold
or an attack of la grippe in less time
than any other treatment. 1t is pleas

A Blow at the Dear Delinquent.

Few readers of newspapers clearly
understand the law governing news
paper subscription. The decisions OF
the United States Supreme Court ON
this subject are:
i. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con.
sidered as wishing to renew their sub
scription.
'2. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send them
until all t'1e dues are paid.
SO. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the post
office to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have set
tied their bills and ordered them dis
continued.
Il. II subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub.
Usher and the papers are sent to the
former address, they are held respon-
sible.
"5. The courts have decided thai
refusing to take periodicals from the
Office, or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facia evidence
of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice ct the end of
the time if they do not wish to con-
tinue taking it; otherwise the publish
er is authorised to send it, and the
subscribers will be responsible until
an express notice with payment Of all
arrearages is sent to the publisher. {"
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any
ono for fraud who takes paper aud
refuse to pay for it.
Under this law the man who allows
his subscription to run for some time
unpaid, and then orders it discontin-
ued, or order the postmaster to mark
it refused" and have q postal card
sent notifying the publishers, is lia-
BILE to arrest and fine, the same as for
theft.

Bloody Bill Cunningham.

To the Editor Of the State: AS the
above designated Revolutionary he
ro() is about to get standing re-
minder of his infamous course in the
eeven years struggle for liberty, this
writer has brief chapter in his bloody
career that has never been recorded
except in the book Of memory, aud it
is more than probable that no other
man now living than the writer has
even that record. | have it as given
to me by my grandmother, who was
about IA years Of age at the time Of
its occurrence, and who gave it to me
in my early manhood.
1t ran thus: Her father was in the
Wing army, and her mother was sick
in bed-not able to get out Of bed. Il
was in the month ofFebruary, and the
ground was covered with snow. In
the night, between midnight and day,
the bloody scout, "came down like a
wolf on the fold" They plundered
the house FOR everything worth having,
taking even the wearing apparel of the
mother and dsughters-all the sons
who were old enough being in the
army with the father fighting for lib
erty-nor did they stop at that; but
they stripped the bed on which the
mother was lying Of everything but
one sheet, leaving her no protection
from the cold. When they were leav-
ing they puta teapot down in the yard
and covered it with an old sides saddle.
The youngest son was not in the
army. being too young, but he was old
enough to shoot, and some days after
the occurrence Of the above stated
facts he was riding on the highway
and carrying rife, when he met a
man who was also on horseback and
was wearing pair Of leggings that
were made from one of his mothers
underskirts. He made said party dis
mount and kneel down, and then shot
him.
One other incident, with which
Cunningham's scouts had no special
connection, but which helps to proper
iy emphasize the great extremity TO
which the people Of the upper portion
of South Carolina were driven during
the Revolutionary struggle, was also
related to me by grandmother. She
told me that when she was about II
years Of sge she rode 80 miles on
horseback for one pint OF salt, and
had to carry it concealed on her per-
son in order to eecape robbery by the
marauding bands Of tories with which
the region in which she lived-a few
miles from Musgroves Mill, some
what notod locality on Enoree river
was infested. D. B. G.

New York Southerners.

At the recent banquets Of the South
ern society and the Georgia society in
New York much was said about the
great number Of Southerners in the
metropolis. Judge Augustus Van
Wyck, Of the Southern society, in his
address before that organization on
the evening Of Washington birthday,
said that according to his best infor-
nation there were fully 100000 men,
women and children in Greater New
York who were either born in the
South or are children of Southern pa
rents who had settled there. At the
Georgia society banquet the number
was put at less, but was still very
large.
The New York Commercial, in an
interesting article on "New York's
Southern Colony" says that there are
undoubtedly now in that city more
than 10000 native-born Southerners;
that il the children of these Southern
residents are counted the number is
fully 100000. The States have con-
tributed the 10000 as follows: Mary
land, 5000: Virginia, 22,1OO; North
Carolina, $500; South Carolina, 4, 400;
Georgia, 1000; Florida, 1,4OO; Ala
bama, 1850; Kentucky, 3,lOO; Louis
lana, 2,40O; Texas, 1900; Tennessee,
1900; Mississippi, 800; West Vir-
ginia, 300; Arkansas, 300, and Mis-
souri,, 3,40O.
We have no doubt that the CONNER
cial's figures are much too low.
Judge VanWyck was probably much
nearer the truth.
The number Of Southern men who
won their way to leadership in New
York is remarkable. The Savannah
Morning News is we'll within the facts
when it says on this subject:
''It is probable that the number Of
Southerners who have achieved sue
cess in New York, in proportion to the
whole number there, is as great as
that of men from any other section of
the country, if not greater. South
erners are prominent in business and
the professions. It is no unusual
thing to find that man who has come
i into prominence suddenly, either in
finance, law or literature, is from the
South.
"The South, Of course, suffers to
some extent from this loss Of bright
young men, but the loss Of young men
does not bear so hard upon her as the
loss Of so much Of her cash in New
York's great exchanges-the cotton
and stock exchanges. The hundreds
of millions of dollars which these ex-
changes have taken from the South
since the wer Of secession would be
sufficient to build factories enough to
spin her entire cotton crop and make
second Pittsburg cut of Birming-
ham.
''New York draws from the whole
country, but it is question whether
she does not draw more heavily from
the South than any other section"
The South is proud of h.r children
who have so greatly distinguished
themselves in New York, but, after
all the best chances that young
Southerner of character, brains and
determination can find anywhere are
awaiting him in his own native Sec
ton.
| - Australia has. proportionately.

A CORRECT DIAGNOSIS.
BY WILLIAM j. LEMPTON.

When a mountaincer is sick-that
is to say, not sick in bed, but "under
the weather sufficiently to NOPE
around-he is probably the most for
lorn creature on earth. Doctors and
drug stores are not mountain con-
veniences for ready reference, and if
:he ordinary household remedies are
Intellectual he is filed with gloomy
portents. During the period Of my
presidency over the Pine Mountain
Company's saw mill 1 had in my en-
ploy young man Of about twenty
five, known as "Jaybird" Wilson, be-
cause of his shyness. He was the
most bashful fellow 1 ever saw, and
then men and women all about the
neighborhood almost teased the life
out of him. Along in March one day
noticed Jaybird dropping along, and
three or four days later he reported
that he was too sick TO work, and he
quit. The next evening he came into
my office, where l was alone, and
dropped Imply into chair.
whats the matter with you Jay
bird? l asked, in all sympathy.
"Dinged cf know, Colonel" he
replied, with heavy sigh. II don't

and been mighty porely fer NOR n a

"Where does it seem to catch you?"
asked.

"I'm all profit to tho boardin
house," he eaid. shaking his head
sorrowfully.
Are you taking any medicine?"
Dunno what to take when dunno
what to take it fer, Colonel" he said,
in hopeless fashion.
"Maybe you have the ague," sug-
gested knowing that ague was about
the most comprehensive ailment known
to medical science.
II reckon not, Colonel, !" he dissent

school, and who had gone home two
weeks previously.

taking his hand; "and let me look at

ly, and after careful investigation
stood off and looked him over. "Jay-

sented, with confidence, albeit could
see more color in his face than before.

Selection of Seed Corn.

Long experience and careful study
have shown that the proper selection
of seed corn is most important fac
tor in the production Of profitable
crops. In late Farmers Institute
p. G. Holden formulated the impor-
tant points to be considered in select
ing seed corn as follows:
1t has been found by experiment
that in the ordinary corn field as high
as 30 per ceut Of the stalks in the row
are barren; that is, they have no ears
upon them. 1t has been proven that
where these barren stalks are allowed
to fertilize ears upon other stalks that
a less prolific ear is secured, and one
which if planted will tend to produce
more barren stalks. By cutting the
tassels from the barren stalks before
they had fertilized any of the corn
in the field the Illinois Experiment
Station has been able to reduce the
percentage Of barren stalks from 80
per cent to less than Is per cent.
In selecting seed corn for a maxi
mum yield ID Illinois, ears should be
selected which are about ten inches
long and seven to seven and one-half
inches in circumference midway be-
tween the tips and butts. In Nebras-
ka it is probable that shorter ear
would be desirable. We should select
ears which will shell out about 8S or
80 per cent, though &c per cent is very
good. It has been found that long
ear tends to produce short kernels aud
the short ear to produce long kernels.
If corn is selected which yields more
than 30 per cent shelled corn, We are
likely to get ears which are too short
and reduce the yield per acre.
Along kernel gives larger per cent.
Of corn. The rows of corn On the ear
should be very solid AMI compact,
leaving no spaces between the rows on
the outside. It is also important that
there should be no space between the
kernels at the point where it is con-
nected with the cob. Where such
spaces are found the small end Of the
kernel is generally thin and narrow,
SO that it does not sufficiently protect
che germ. Seed of this kind planted
in unfavorable weather is moro likely
to rot in she ground.
In selecting seed corn one should
also look for large germ, as this in
dicates high stage OF vitality and
also yields larger percentage Of oil.
The parts Of the kernel surrounding
the germ should be Of rich translu-
cent color, indicating that the parti-
cles of starch are packed tos ,ther,
giving dense heavy kernel. The
larger this hard translucent portion of
the kernel the higher the protein con-
tent and the better the milling quality
of the corn. In his talk on seed corn
Mr.. Holden had selected two ears Of
corn from nearby corn crib, these
ears being Of the same length and
practically the same size. Upon
shelling these, however, it was found
that one contained large, long kernels
and the other contained short thin
kernels. The ear with long kernels
shelled out more chan twice the corn
yielded by the inferior ear. Other
ears were selected from corn which
had been saved from seed and these
also showeda very marked difference
III the percentage Of shelled corn
secured from them.
