If you meet n man with but one arm
and he is under sixty years of ago, lie
is more likely to have had a round

the missing arm hacked off by an army
Burgeon.
A market which will absorb and take
care of <12,000 head of beef cattle, 500
calves, 00,000 hogs, 30,000 sheep and
800 horses in one day is no small nf
fair, nnd that Is what the stockyards

A well settled old county on tho borders
of the upper Mississippi river paid
out lust year tho lorge sum of $-1.10
lor uountioB 011 wild animals. Investigation
showed that the money wont
mostly for woodehneks and rattlesnakes.
f In the south, particularly in tho territory
lying east of tho Mississippi river,
tho camp meeting is one of the great
troubles to the employers of colored labor.
The work on the farm is never so
urgent that it will prevent thu colored
'brother from leaving it and taking in
the camp meeting.
> We are fortunately passing from that
agricultural stage when the man who
left his plow out In the field all winter
makes straight for tho public highway
in the spring to acour the rust off It.
IIo has learned that If he will use a
cent's worth of iixle grease and put hla
plow under cover In the fall he need not
do any road work In the spring.

of the soil will almost entirely provent
any ill effects from drought. We have
bwii fine cropu of cabbage, rutabagas,
tomatoes and potatoes raised on land
which never was wot down an Inch after
the stuff was up until it was harvested
by just stirring the soil around
the growing plants every threo or four
dnj-s during tho growing season.
Any bright, observing man nu?y bo a
weather prophet on 11 small scale?that
Is, become able to forecast the weather
for a short time ahead, long enough
nJiead to be of considerable service to
him In liia farm operations. To do this
ho should havo a good thermometer
and a barometer ami learn how to use
them. lie should study the clouds, the
direction of the vimls, watch the signal
service reports and quit pinning
his faith to a snide almanac.

Bismarck, 'not at all. It made m
