In a late number you ask to hear

were not found adapted to the circum-
-tance aud needs of the Southern
farmer and Were promptly discarded.
They are doubtless s grand hog at
their lioine in tlie North, (so are the
Chester whites, which are utterly
worthless here), hut ci the Gulf States
they will not prove at all satisfactory.

matter as we inav, we have not solved^
'he problem of a suitable substitute
for corn af a pork producer, aad tbe
fine stalks and more leaves. Sweat
corn is supposed to give sweeter stalks
—perhaps so, perhaps not—a point, on
which facts are nerded. I know of no
positive proof.
At any rate, I know that common
corn, sown early, at the rate of two
aud a half to three bushels per acre,
and well cultivated, will give as good
fodder us I want. When cut early,

oae Who hat had no experience with
corn fodder, will be likely to think that
eoch well eared “maize hay,” may be
pat in a stack or hay, like bundles of
wheat or corn stalks. Bat such is not
the case, and the practical way of
handling a dozen or more acre# of
heavy coru fodder is, to make it into
large stooks ia the field, and let them
remain there until needed for feeding
in tha winter.
Three rows of the smaller stooks are
Blade lata one raw of large steaks, or
if the crop is not very heavy, five rows
may be taken, two on each side of the
center row, where the large stooks are
to be reads. The larger the stocks,
provided they can be compactly m*kei
and gradually tapering to a point, the
better. The top should be securely
tied with two bands. We sometim '
use tarred rope, but nothing is better
than willow twigs for tics.
bee that every part of the work is
well done. The first bundles of the
large stock should stand upright, and
two men, standing on opposite sides
of the atook, shoo'd pro. s *be bundles
together as tight as possible, and con
tinue to do so as more are added.
Especially press or kick the butts of
the bundles compactly together. A
sprawling stook will be more or dam
aged by snow and ice, aud the butts
will be troaen together, and it is then
not an easy matter to pitch the bun
dles in the winter. If these large
stooks are well made, there need be
little loss, and no difficulty in handling
tbe fodder.—American Agricultural-

Ou Saturday evening, in a dark and
lonely spot in the road near Millers-
burg, Ohio, two masked men appear
ed with revolvers and demanded a
peddler’s money. He handed over #4,
which was not satisfactory to the rob
bers, and one of them compelled him
to hold up his hands while tho other
went through his pockets, securing
about $1,(XX). They then selected
about the same amount iu silks and
other tine goods and jewelrv from his
wagon. The peddler drove to Millers-
burg and made known the robbery.
Five hundred dollars reward has been
offered for the apprehension of the
thieve*.

The Circuit Court at Cincinnati on
Wednesday began tne delivery of
opinions in theniandamuscase brought
by the Republican candidates for Sen
ators from Hamilton county, to^oompel
the canvassing board to issue to them
certificates or hlction. Judge Cox
delivered the opinion of the majoriti
of the court, going at great length into
all details of the questions presented
by the diflerent persons which were
designated by the counsel as irregular.
The result is that the courts grants the
prayer, aud directs the clerk to issue
certificates ot election to four Repub
lican candidates. Tlie Court announc
ed the result ot the vote as it should be
after tbe corrections made by applica
tion of the principles, followed by the
majority of the conn. This gives to
the Republican candidates from 33,472
lowest, to ."",7.44 the highest, and to
Democratic candidates from 33,140
lowest, to 33,417 highest

“Every now and then," said a prom
inent officer who is upon the mo
friendly relations at the White ilou-c
“there is publi.-ed a statement that the
President is di»-ali-fiod with one i
his Cabiuent Ministers Nearlv ever
member of hL official hou-ehold ha
had a disagreement with Mr. l.'levc
land, if newspaper repotis are to be
credited.
Meszr-. Bayard, Garland and Vilas
have been particularly mentione<
coming under the ban ofthc Pie-idtnf
displeasure. And now it is again re
ported trat he is dissatisfied wiih tl
Secretary of State. I happen to know
that these rumors are wholh grnumi
less. Ido tiot believe a President ever
got along with his Cabinet more har
monionsly thau Mr. Cleveland, and be
has not, not ever has had, any idea of
mnkiuQ a change in tlie head of run one
of the departments. The relations be
tween the President and his adviser
areof the triost cordial character, ant
nothjpg that I can see is likely to dis
turb them.”

HERE’S A CASE.
For six long, dreary years 1 have been a
sufferer from a complaint of my kidneys,
which failed to be cure I i>y physicians or
advertised remedies.
I began to feel rvould never secure re
lief. as I had spent two hundred aud fifty
dollars without success.
Tbo disease was so excruciating that it
often prevented me from performing my
daiK delv. I was ail vised to try the effi
cacy of It. It. !>., ami one single bottle,
costing Id, gave me more relief than all
tbe combined treatment I laid ever re
ceived.
I In action on tbe kidneys is simply won
derful, ami nny one who needs a real,
speedy and harmless kidney medicine
-Mould not hesitate to give 1>. It. It. u trial.
One bottle will convince anyone.

HERE’S ANOTHER.
I am a merchant of Atlanta; and am
near <»> years ot age. Mj kidneys have
lieen inactive and irregular for many yuars,
attended with excruciating pain in the
small of the back. At times 1 became too
nervous h' attend to business. My ease
had nil tlie attention that money could
secure, but only to result in a complete
failure.
1J. 11. II w..s recommended, and fit nay
that i>s action on me wa- magical would
he a mild term. One oottie made me feel
like a new m.u.—j;, t like 1 was young
again In ail my life i never used so pow
erful and potent a remedy, tor the blood
and the kidneys it i- the he-t I ever saw,
