NEGRO STUDENTS GIVE

Oxford, Dec. 22.--An edict has gone forth from the faculty of Lin coin University ordering 9 complete disarmament of the students. and as aresult nearly two basketfuls of revolvers and other weapons were turned in to one of the professors of that university.
 The penalty was expulsion for disobeying that order, and as most of the students are anxious to tn- ish the course, there was general scramle to unload their arms.

Too Much Apple

According to the following, from tho
Chicago Packer, there seems to be an
embarrassment of apple riches in the
southwest:
"St Louis apple dealers are leading
strenuous life at present and are
complaining that the days are not
long enough to enable them to dis
pose of their receipts. Considerable
difficulty is being experienced in Sc
curing enough teams to haul the fruit
from the levee, as receipts by the
barrels day and the total daily re-
ceipts by river and rail are over TO-
900 barrels. Cold storage space is
nearly all filled and the local con-
sumption, although unusually large, is
hardly sufficient to take care of the
large offerings of bulk apples.
Heavy consignments of bulk apples
are being received in addition to the
barreled stock From Calhoun county,
H., alone the steamer Bene of Cal
houn is bringing from 1000 to 5000
barrels of apples to st. Louis each
trip, and is making round trip every
other day. Most of the receipts con-
sist of Ben Davis and the market is
rapidly getting overstocked. Dealers
who have a large southern trade and
expected large orders from that Sec
lion are confronted with the fact that
the trade in that part of the country
does not like the Ben Davis apple AMI
most of the orders now specify that
only small proportion of the ship
nents may be Of that variety while
most of the receipts here are Ben
Davis. Hauelson Bros. and other
large buyers who have large stocks
in cold storage have been buying heav-
lily in order to keep up prices, but
they are beginning to get tired of this
and the market is getting heavy"

as much again as 100 hens should
have for best results. Now as the
whole food stuff must be dgested be-
fore the reproducing material is
available for the development of the

energy of the digestive organs when
fed on corn ration entirely is taxed
to about double the capacity they
should be which means a loss to the
raiser of no less than so cents por
hen in a year.-American Cultivator.
The new pure food regulations, I'M
der the law which will go into effect
January l, have been issued jointly
by the secretaries of the treasury, ag-
riculture and commerce and labor
The object of the law and the regu-
lations is to protect the consumer not
only against harmful adulterants and
ingredients in foods and drugs, but
against fraud and deception as WELL
Foods and drugs must be labeled SO
as to show their exact character, and
if they are adulterated the label must
show it. The regulations provide for
some very undesirable free advertis-
ing for any manufacturer or dealer
detected in misbranding or adulter-
ating food or drug products. The
facts in such cases are to be publish
ed in the communities where the cases
occur.

Some Good Dairy Rules

Do not allow dogs, cats or loafers
to be around at milking time.
Keep the stable and dairy room in
good condition, fresh air, and clean.
All persons who milk the cows
should have their finger nails cut
closely.
Milk with dry hands. Never allow
the hands to come in contact with
the milk
When cans are hauled far they
should be full and carried in a spring
wagon.
If cover is left off the can a piece
of cloth or mosquito netting should
be used to keep out insects.
Strain the milk through a metal
gauze and a flannel cloth or layer of
cotton as soon as it is drawn.

Select, if possible, clear cold wealth

meat get cold and firm before cutting

every 100 pounds of meat use four
pounds of the best salt; two ounces
of Saltpeter and fouf ounces of brown

AS TT LOOK FROM THE FIRST
DISTRICT.

From the Bennington Banner comes
the following: Hon. John W. Gordon
Of Barre has announced his candidacy
FOR Congress in thessecond district. This
makes triangular contest with three
entries; Col. Kittredge Haskins, Gov.
G. ]. Bell and ex-Mayor Gordon. Cor
don is lawyer Of unusual ability and
Is much younger man than the 9th
ers. While we presume he cannot win
except AZ a compromise candidate after
hard contest between the other two,
the district might go farther and fare
much worse
The Banner shares the opinion Of
nearly every newspaper that has made
comment on the entry OF Mr.. Gordon
into the contest for the congressional
nomination. Not one word has been
said to the disparagement Of his abil-
ity, and those editors who are acquaint-
ed with him are frank TO confess, even
though they have previously affiliated
with one Of the other two candidates,
that Mr.. Gordon is fully capable Of
representing the second district in Con-
gross as it should be represented.
