One day George Ifl't, who publishes a very warm paper in a damp basement in Pooatcllo, was over in the neighbor- hood of Ross Fork, when one of the sev- en men who had been very intently re- garding him from the front of the saloon across the way walked over toward him. In that part of the country, where, ow- ing to the frequency of reports of Indian hostilities, every man went armed, Ifl't would have paid no attention to one re- volver and a Winchester, but this man had three pistols. a. hunting knife and a thingthat looked like a slugshot, as "“ Mister,” said be, addressing Ifl’t, “ the boy behind the bar says you print the paper down at Pocatello." “One of them,” Idt answered, wish- ing he knew what was about to happen. “ A paper down at Pocatello,” said the walking artillery battery, “some '-time ago alluded to me when I went down there as a witness in the court as havin killed three men in Texas and as bein wanted by l’inkertons for various offenses." , - “ When was that ?” the editor faltered. “ In March of last year.” “I came to Pocatello in September,” Ifl't. said, much relieved. The man with the weapons looked disappointed. “ Shucks l” he ejaculated. “ You don't say. Ain't that disapp’intin now ? Sure you didn't come in Febiwur ,mis- tcr ?" “ My dear friend, I assure you that I didn’t. and in any event I should not :have published such "â€" “ Hold on, mister, hold on. Don‘t 'talk so fast. A man down in Pocatello who prints 9. paper said them things about me, and I judge "â€"- ' "But surely you don't hold me re- sponsible for what a libeler and a per- jurer and a base assassin of character says, do you ?” " Mister,” the other said gladly, “by them words I know you’re just the man I want. Now don’t git skeered. You don’t understand me. I’m Ed Haw- ‘kins, an I’v got a reputation as a bad man in these parts.” “ I shouldn’t think so, Mr. Hawkins. I "â€" “Not Mr. Hawkins, but Ed. Bad Ed, if you please. Yes. sir, I’ve got a reputation for hein a killer, But betwixt you an me I ain’t. Nat’rally I'm peac- able and calm, an I wouldn’t do nothm serious ag'in the law if I was paid for it. But as long as I’m Bad Ed I'm an honored citizen an I git free liquor all I please. Things was gittin a little bit dubious with me, and folks was wonder- in why I didn’t do some shootin a while ago, but when that Pocatello paper came out and said what I‘d did in Texas re- spect and esteem come back to me on a gallop. That paper statement of my badness has kep‘ me goin for 18 months, but. the boys is kinder worryin ag’in an intimatin that I never had a sherifi' after me in my life, and that Bill Pinkerton don’t give a cuss where I am hidiu. New, sir, ifyou will kindly step acrost the way and inform these people that I am not only what you said a year ago last March "â€" “ But I didn‘t write it, and "â€" “ No, of course not. But, blame it all, man, can’t you p'tend when another man‘s happiness is at stake ? You say that you did, an that I am all that you wrote at the time of that trial, and that I also am the things you said a few minutes ago. ‘ Do it, mister, and patch up my record as a bad man. An here’s "‘2 tcr your trouble. You can send me your paper." So Iift went over and rehabilitated Bad Ed l‘Iuwkins' character for him, and after taking one fearful drink with the killer he broke for his train, which was pulling in.‘ A few minutes later he looked back from the rear platform and saw Mr. Hawkins violently fil‘iDL' two revolvers and chasing a very small Chinaman down the street, while the townspeople tied for safety, and he knew that Bad Ed was putting the finishing touches to a demonstration which would keep him in honors for at least another year.â€" Chicago Record. , ,..... . _-..._._... Ali/icilm of the Vaccine. An old Georgia darky, with his arm in a sling. was talking to another on a west end car yesterday. " Yrs, suh," he said with emphasis, " '1 gen up now for sho. You see dis arm in do sling, don't you ?" “ Yes." i ‘- Well," the old man continued in explanation. “ I‘ll be 80 years old next harvest. I done see lots or trouble in my day. but by dc grace or God I miss de Rtuklux, I miss dc vigilenee committee. i miss de White Caps so I miss de regu- , laiors. But in my old age, please God, do waxinators kotehed on cut me." . _â€"â€"-~â€"<o-.â€"â€"w..â€"â€" Diggsâ€"ls your daughter improving in her piano playing? Biggs~5he is either improving or else We are getting used to it. I don't know which, Waste of Manure. HOW 1'0 SAVE THE STABLE ACCCMU- IATIONâ€"CONCERNING COMMER- CIAL FERTILIZERS. Too much manure is wasted on the farms; as a rule enough is wasted every year in this county to pay its proportion of the state tax. Make the stable floors and gutters tight, use horse manure, road dust, coal ashes and plaster to ab- sorb the liquids and save nitrogen. The liquids represent 60 per cent. of the value of the voidings of our animals. Nearly all these are lost. If you will save both the solids and liquids, draw them out and spread them where you want them. You will be surprised at the results. When a man will do this, he will have a clear conscience and may go out and buy fertilizers if he actually needs them, but if you are to buy these goods select the highest grades and do not be guided by its smell and appearance. They are no index as to its value or the sources of the plant foods in it. Patronize the best manufacturers and be sure the an- alyses on the sack tags are guaranteed. Another point, first know what the needs of your soils are for the crops you want to grow. Do not buy the same formula for every crop, just as a patent medicine man sells a bottle of his stuff guaranteed to cure every disease man is heir to, from headache to corns. Ask the soil, through the plant, what it- wants. Its apearance will tell you. I may be more or less nitrogen, potash or phosphoric acid. The potato wants nitrogen to grow a strong stalk, but must have a surplus of potash to perfect the tuber. Too much nitrogen produces a soft, un- healthy growth, the straw is weak and falls down. Potash strengthens it, gives the leaf or fruit a good color and hardens the season’s growth of wood, while phosphoric acid perfects the seed and grain and makes it plump. The teachings of the New York State farm- ers’ institutes are helping the farmers of that state more by showing them how to save money rather than how to make it, as the above extract from one of Di- rector Dawley’s addresses indicates. 0-0 The Application of Manures. Wherever experiments have been care- fully madc, the results have been to show that the value of manure to a plant is in reverse proportion to the depth at which it has been placed in the earth. The nearer the surface the more effective the manure. This, ex- plains Meehan's Monthly. arises from the fact that the feeding roots of a plant are always at or near the surface. Man- ure has to be acted upon by the gases of the atmosphere before the plant can derive any benefit from it, and the roots seem to understand this and come near the surface where the atmosphere can operate on the food they have to collect. While this is an abstract principle, the best system of applying manure is by top dressing. There is the counter trouble of evaporation, and some of the most desirable gases are lost by the top dressing system. On the whole, there- fore, it has been found that the most judicious method of applying manure is to spread it on the surface and then rake it in. Better Tillage, Not More Acres. Only a short time ago a farmer grave- ly told me that he believed a farmer would starve to death on 40 acres of land. And he meant what he said. He had 80 acres of good land, and accord ing to his own statement the average yield of his crops was: Wheat, 12 bush- els to the acre; corn, 30; oats. 25; hay, three-fourths of a ton. A mile distant from him lives a farmer whose land is almost an exact counterpart of his, and his crops average : Wheat, 30 bushels to the sore; corn. 65; oats, 50; hay. 2 tons. It is not the quantity of land that a man farms that counts, but the quality of his farming. The fact that a man can grow six tons of good tim- othy hay on one acre shows the possibil- ities of an acre that is thoroughly tilled. Nine-tenths of the land that is sown to wheat is not more than half prepared for the seed, simply because the farmer believes in acres rather than tillage.â€" F’rrd Grundy in Farmcrs' Institute Bul- letin. -__.â€"-. - a The Field Hog. â€"â€" The standards of excellence of some of the prominent breeds need immedi- ate and radical revision, and they should declare for the breeding off of excess of grossness and cheap meat. such as head, jowl and flabby belly, and i declare for flint bone, sound feet, mus- .eular action and constitutional vigor. The hog that hunts part of his living in the fields is hardier, healthier and , abounds more in lean meat of a better iquality than that of his unfortunate .brothcr who loses part of his vitality and vigor by being overfed in close con- , finement, no matter what may compose. l the foods used in fattening them, and vtllc breeds most active and vigorous l x i must abound in lean meat.-â€"-H.
