The Indiana Harbor railroad people’ have decided to locate their yards at Gibson, a little station near the junction of the Michigan Central and Nickel Plate roads. St. John had hoped to get the yards, and in fact, the company bad already begun work on round bouses there. The change in plans is a great disappointment to sleepy old St. John. The Democrat has just added a handsome new series of text type for fine commercial printing. We have no hesitation in saying that this is the latest and most fashionable type for this class of work and at present, fit least, is owned by no other print shop in this vicinity. It is just the thing for professional stationery, fine business cards, etc. If you want something neat and right up-to-date, call in and see samples of printing in this handsome series. A “Seed Corn Special” will be run over the Monon during the last week of March. The train will carry lecturers from the agricultural department of Purdue University who will instruct the farmers on corn culture, and particularly regarding the scientific selection of their seed corn. Such a train was run over the Lake Erie in January and proved immensely popular. Posters will be sent out in a few days giving dates and hours. The lectures will be delivered from the platforms of the train.

Best line of work gloves at Louis Wildberg’s. Fred Renicker has moved here rrom Carroll county and occupies the Geo. Markin farm north of town, which he bought some time ago. Do not buy a stylish spring suit until you have seen the SteinBlock & Co , make of« suits at Wildberg’s. Selling at sls and sl6; other stores ask $20 for not as good a suit Mayor Ellis and Jack Montgomery went to Lafayette Wednesday to investigate cost and style of a new hose wagon, which it is proposed to purchase for use of the city. The former returned home but Jack went on to Frankfort, where a good style wagon is manufactured, to investigate further. A wagon will cost about $250 it is thought. Remember, that as usual The Democrat is prepared this spring to print the best horse bills and cards of any print shop in this section of the state. More new type, horse and mule cuts have been added and all work of this character will have prompt and careful attention. Owners of stable horses will also find that it will be money well expended to advertise their horses through the columns of The Democrat, “the paper that everybody reads.” Charley Hopkins, Daniel Elijah and Frank Hammond left Tuesday for North Dakota, where they will make their future home. Charley will go on a farm near Surrey, and the others, we understand, will locate near Lisbon. Charlie’s family and sister-in-law —now Miss Blanche Hill, but who will be married to-morrow to a young man from Pennsylvania—with her husband, expect to leave next Tuesday. Their msny friends here wish them success in their new home. John Dowling, a Morocco saloon license applicant who was remonstrated against by 225 voters of Morroco and Beaver township, caused the entire number of remonstrators to be summoned to Kentland Tuesday, and a special train was chartered on the Indiana Harbor and they all went over, and John is out of business and the town will be “dry” for two years to come at least. The costs made are over 1700, which Dowling may have to pay, so it may not prove so funny after all. The lola (Kan.,) Daily Record of recent date mentions R. L. Ponsler, as being one among eleven freshmen at the School of Engineering of the University of Kansas, whose work in drawing during the last term was considered worthy of honorable mention, and whose names go on the honor roll of the university. A S3O set of draughting instruments will be presented by a Kansas City firm at the end of the spring term to the freshmen showing the best full set of plates made during the term, and Mr. Ponsler stands a good show of being the lucky student to receive them. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Ponsler, former residents of near Rensselaer, but now of lola, Kan. She was newly married and did not know a little bit about either housekeeping or shopping and was giving her -first order at Eger’s grocery. It was a crusher, but John is a clever man and could interpret them easily. “I want two pounds paralyzed sugar,” she began. “Yes’m anything else?” “Two cans of condemned milk.” “Yes’m ” He put down pulverized sugar and condensed milk. “A bag of fresh salt and be sure it is fresh.” “Yes’m, anything more, madam? We have some nice horse radish just in.” “No,” she said, “it wouldn’t be of any use to us, we don’t keep a horse.” Then John sat down and fanned himself with a washboard, although the temperature was freezing. A banker going home for his dinner saw a $lO bill on the curbstone. He picked it up and took the number in order to find the owner. While at home his wife remarked‘that the butcher had sent a bill amounting to $lO. The only money he had with him was the bill he had found, which he gave to her and she paid the butcher. The butcher paid it to a farmer for a calf and the farmer paid it to a merchant, who in turn paid it to a wash woman, and she, owing the banker a note of $lO went to the banker and paid the note. The banker recognized the one he had found, and which, up to that time had paid SSO of debt, on careful investigation he discovered that the bill was a counterfeit. «What has been lost in the transaction and by whom? An armload of old papers for a nickel at The Democrat office.

Ah, its great, the satisfactory reports that voluntarily come rolling in daily to the G. E. Murray Co. from “Old Sleepy Eye” flour. It is being mentioned in Demo* cratic circles that the name of Judge William Darroch will be presented to the Democratic state convention for the nomination for Appellate Judge. His fitness for the place is urged and the desire upon the part of Democratic leaders to present a strong judicial ticket caused Judge Darroch to be regarded favorably for the place. Mr. Darroch refuses to discuss the matter. —Kentland Enterprise. Monticello Journal: It is reported that eighty per cent, of the voters of Union township outside of Monticello have signed the remonstrance against the liquor traffic and that they are very anxious to know just who of the business and professional men of the town have signed. Many of the country people think that the time has come to throw their patronage to the men who stand on the same side of this great question with them.

HINTS FOR FARMERS

Indigestion In Horses. A very good mixture for horses suffering from indigestion is the following: Gentian, one-half pound; bicarbonate of soda, one-half pound; nux vomica, one-fourth pound; arsenic, one dram. Mix thoroughly. Dose, a tablespoon level full in moistened grain morping and evening. At noon give the following mixture: Sulphate of Iron, one-fourth pound; saltpeter, one-fourth pound. Mix. Dose, a tablespoonful in moistened grain. Continue the use of the medicine for two or three weeks; then withhold for a week and then give again. Continue in this manner until the animal recovers. In some cases treatment will need to be continued for six months or even longer. These are desirable mixtures to give to horses in the spring, a few weeks before the hard work commences, especially where the animals have been wintered upon a large amount of roughage, as this line of feeding is very apt to cause more or less indigestion.—G. A. Waterman, Michigan Experiment Station.

Spreading Manure. The practice of spreading manure on the snow in winter does not seem to be gaining in popularity, says Farmers Advocate. On some farms where the fields are level and where there is no chance to store the manure it is a good plan. Experiments at the Massachusetts station last year showed that manure thus spread produced better crops than where it was left over winter In large heaps. But it was reckoned that the difference in value of the crop produced did not pay for the extra labor in hauling the manure according to this plan. It could be hauled considerably cheaper, doing all the work at once in the spring. On the other hand, such work done in winter is on some farms clear gain, since there may be little else for the team to do. It is a matter to be thought out according to the case in hand. Fattening Steers. To improve the quality of cattle is not the whole secret of profitable cattle raising and feeding. While improving the quality of cattle is the prime facto?, in profitable feeding, the method of* feeding is almost as important, for without the proper methods failure will result regardless of quality of the cattle. The old method of cramming corn Into a steer regardless of whether or not he digests it, depending on hogs to pick up the undigested corn, is a poor as well as an old method. To put on good flesh and to put it on fast a steer should digest thoroughly all the food that he takes into his stomach. The food should be prepared carefully in order that perfect digestion should take place. Ix»ss corn and more ensilaged

foods should be used In finishing a steer for the market.—Farmers Advocate. Peas For Lambs. “Three years ago,’’ says R. W. Hersey of Colorado, “an old Scotchman living in the San Luis valley, in our state, concluded he would experiment with peas as a food for a few lambs that he owned. “The pea diet proved to be the very thing. The lambs not only took on fat with surprising rapidity, but their flesh acquired a new and delicious flavor. The next year everybody in that region began to follow his example, and last yeah in the San Luis valley it is estimated that no less than 500,000 sheep grew fat on peas.” Removing Stumps, A correspondent of American Cultivator states that he removed a troublesome tree stump from near his house in the following manner: With an inch auger he bored a hole in the center of the stump ten inches deep and put into it about one-half pound of oil of vitriol and corked the hole up tigKt. In six months the whole stump and roots, extending through all their ramifications, were so rotted that they were easily eradicated. Keep Fertility In the Land. Good farming today is intensive farming. Raise all It Is possible to raise, but put back into the soil every year as much fertility as the crop takes out, or more. New land will stand a lot of abuse, but it will go back on you in time. You can depend on that. Farm every year so that you leave your land in better shape at the close than at the beginning of the year.— Kimball’s Dairy Farmer. Improving the Wood Lot. If a little care and forethought are taken when cutting the year’s supply of fuel to thin out In the thicker places, saving the young and thrifty trees, letting in the sunshine occasionally to start a vigorous growth and perhaps trimming the trunks to get smoother growth for timber, It will be surprising to see how much the stump value is increased.—American Cultivator.
