Plan to Carry on the

Education.
PLOT FOILED.
THE CENTRAL LEASE
Scheme to Abduot Millionaire Gould's
Daughter.
The work of inaugurating the Farm
ers’ Institutes goes bravely on and i;hat
success will crown the cflorts of those
moving in this matter is no longer a
matter of doubt.
At the meeting held at the Univer
sity Chapel ou the 12th of December
the suggestion was made that it would
be a good idea to introduce
the lectures of the Institutes along
with the lectures of the Alliance at
such points as might be agreed upon.
Prof. H. C. White, President of ;he
State College of Agriculture and Me-
chauic Arts, has been in correspond
ence with Vice President!W. A. Wilson,
of Americus, who, in the absence of
President Livingston in Congress, is
acting as the chief officer of the Al 11-
ance in Georgia. The suggestion made
at the meeting here in Athens was com
municated to Mr. Wilson, who replied
to the letter of Prof. White and tcok
occasion to s&y that it
pleased him very much and he thought
that great good could be accomplished
iu Georgia.
Therefore the alliance lecturers and
the lecturers of the Farmers’ Institutes
will make a tour of the state together
delivering lectures on their various
subjects and educating the farmers of
the state to their true interests.
The Professors of the University
having in charge the Farmers* Instit
utes had about mapped out a plan of
procedure, but by the arrangement
there will be some places and dates of
meetings changed.
Prof. White will continue in corres
pondence with Vice-President Wilson
of theAUiance and will arrange a regu
lar schedule of leotures.
It is more than probable that the first
tour will be made iu the month of Feb
ruary and through South Georgia, meet
ing with the State Agricultural Society
at its session in Cuthbert.
The movement is thoroughly in mo
tion now, and the Farmers’ Institutes
may be regarded as a fixture.
New York, Dec. 80.—The World
publishes a two-column article, is
which the details of a scheme to abduct
Miss Helen Gould, the daughter of Jay
Gould, from her home are set forth. It
says in substance that a man signing
himself as the "Prince Von Mrchael,”
some time ago wrote a b-tler to John F.
Baasford, a general Insurance agent of
this city, asking him to assist in his
scheme.
The plan outlined by Michaels was to
induce the young woman, on-some pre
text or other, enter a cab near her fath
er’s home on Fifth avonue, when von
Michaels and his companion were to
follow and draw down the blinds and
have the driver take'them to Jersey
City, where the train was to be taken
for the west.
Mr. Bassford remembered the man ss
one he had at one time before befriend
ed, and attempted to find the wherea
bouts of the fellow. In a few days a
letter came to Mr. Bassford asking him
to get acquainted with some of Gould’s
servants and fin-1 ont what hours Miss
Gould would most likely- be out walk
ing. The letter concluded:
"Help mo out in this, and there is a
million in it for both of ns. ■
Mr.' Bassf >rd, now thoroughly alarm
ed. took the letters to police headquar
ters, where he subsequently met George
Gould, to whom he fully explained the
circumstances. The latter said his sis
ter had received a letter from the
"prince,” but he declined to have the
man arrested, as he thought it would
be put on the public, which might in
jure others to follow in the same.

• Cucvela.nl, O., Dec. 80.—Attorney
Hale Hunter of Urbana, claims that
Almon f Lyman, Marion, John and Ed
ward Kimble and their sisters, Mrs.
Mary Sleat and Mrs. Anna Miller, all of
this county, living near Vienna, are the
heirs of $65,000,000 and 2,000 acres of
land in Eugland. The attorney has
been in England twice looking up the
matter, and says he has established
their claim to a vast estate and money.
He said the case would come up in the
court of chancery next February. The
Kimbles are descendants of Rosewell
Kimble, who came to this country early
in the nineteenth century. He married
a lady iu England of the name of Hyde,
and had one heir, George, who left the
large family given above. It is through
the mother that the estate comes. Hyde
Park is Bituated on the 2,000 acres
claimed by the Kimbles.

The Georgia Central comes before
the public gaze.
And this time it comes about through
a story printed ia the New York Sun
that the Central dividends would not be
paid and that there would be a hitch in
proceedings that would end in the an
nulling of tbe lease. Ia New York the
story set the railroad world to thinking
and the newspapers to work.
— lo an interview witn General Samuel
Thomas he is reported as saying tbe foi
lowing in reference to the Central divi
dend :
With reference to the delay in the
payment of the Georgia Central diyi
denU, 1 can only say that that has noi
beeu a matter directly under-my con
trol. In fact, until very recently, I have
known little or-uotbing ot the Georgia
Central’s affairs. 1 tbiuk, however,that
the delay in the payment of tbe current
dividend will be ended in a day or two.
The hitch is due to the failure on the
part of the Central to comply with cer
tain technical details made necessary by
its leat.e to the Georgia Pacific, which
substantially Is its lease to the Rich
mond and Danville. The details wii.
no doubt be arranged within the next
forty-eight hours, and tLen the divi
dend will be paid as though nothing
had happened. I have no idea that any
hitch would have occured if Mr, luruati
had not been confined at ,his home by
sickness. if he bad been able to be at
this office during the last week or ten
days, there would not probably have
been any interruption to the payment
of the Central dividend at the proper
time.”

long as needed to accommodate the de
sired number of sashes, running east
and west or northeast and southwest.
Set stakes-half a board length apart on
each side, and inclose the excavation
tightly with boards clear from the bot
tom up, to hinder the intrusion of moles,
rats and mice. The north side may be
twelve or eighteen inches high above
the surface, the south side six inches
lower, so as to give the sashes the needed
slope to carry off rain and snow water
and the sun all the better chance to reach
the soil and stimulate plant life under
the sashes. When the frame is iu place
a strip of inch beard, wide enough to
serve as rest for the sash edges, and
having a two inch upright in the center,
as shown in illustration, is then fastened
across where each two sashes meet.
The manure made from animals fed
highly with grain, oilmeal, etc., is best
suited to the requirements of the hotbed.
Horse manure heads the list and
sheep manure comes next. It should
contain plenty of urine soaked litter; the
addition of half its bulk of dry leaves is
an advantage. Before fermentation of
the manure heap becomes too lively mi*
thoroughly, put into the pit and tread it
down firmly. Then pat on the sashes
and leave until fermentation has again
become quite active through the bed;
then tread down Bolid, even off where
needed and cover with soil about six
inches deep. Soil to be iu best condition
should have been prepared the fall pre
vious. It must be rich and fine and con
sist of about one-third well rotted com
post and two-thirds good loam, rotten
turf, etc.
The beds should now be left until the
soil has become wanned through and

had time to germinate. Then remove

To make a bench for husking shocks

and fit the wheels on it I then spike
two 12-inch pieces to the axle, one near
each wheel, and to these spike two 2 by 4
pieces 14 feet long. At the other end 1
nail a crosspiece and legs to keep the

If stored in a more expensive comhouse,
as is now quite common, the same pro

This is best done by making the com
partment that holds the com with slatted
bottom and sides, without depending
upon windows for ventilation.
Another important point in' storing
away com is to protect it against the
depredation of mice and rats. To do this
effectively the most practicable method
is to set constructions of the kind men
tioned on posts or pillars three feet or
more from the ground. On or near the
top of these and encircling them there
shonld be fastened sheets of tin cut in
circular form and of sufficient diameter
to make it impossible for these rodents
to crawl over them and reach the wooden
bottom of the crib. When such struc
tures are completely isolated from other
buildings, if attention is given to pre
vent the entrance of the pests through
the doorway in common use, their ex
clusion will be complete.

Sometimes the manure refuses to come
to a heat. Then all you have to do is to
make it richer by mixing it with hen
manure or bonednst or by throwing hot
soapsuds, rank liquid manure, etc., upon
it. One good load of manure is about
snfficient for two sashes. The depth of
the manure in hotbeds is variously given
as eighteen, twenty-four and thirty
inches. For general purposes in a cli
mate like that of New Jersey or south
ern Pennsylvania, and late in February
or beginning of March, an 18-inch layer
of fermenting manure may do; but in a
severer climate earlier in the winter, or
for the production of pepper and egg
plants, or other plants requiring consid
erable heat, the maximum should be
twenty-four to thirty inches in depth.
The foregoing is reproduced from Grei
ner’s “Howto Make the Garden Pay.”
The Cow In a Double Capacity.
At the McLeod County (Minn.) fair
John Stevens, one of the northwest’s vet
eran agriculturists, made a little speech
about the general purpose cow, in which
occurred these statements: “I contended
long for my favorite blooded Bates’ Short-
Jiora, a combination for milk, butter,
cheese, beef and stock. In fact, an una
dulterated, genuine, simon, pare general
purpose cow, not only for the farmer, bnt
for everybody. My esteemed friend. Gov
ernor Hoard, of Wisconsin, took issue
with me; so did Professor O. C. Gregg, su
perintendent of the Minnesota Farmers’
institute; so did a large majority of the
prominent writers and dairymen in the
United States and Canada. Bnt 1 perse

‘We have read of a politician carry
ing water on both shoulders; w.i have

two hats over one head, but a cow is not
capable of acting in a double capacity—
she is either beef or milk. Not but that
cows who do not partake largely of either
quality may be, and were in the more
early days of Minnesota farming, profita
ble on the farm, bnt not so much so now
as those which have been tried exclu
sively for milk and beef.”

Annual Cost at Feeding a Hen.
What is the annual cost of feeding a
hen? There are ef course differences,
according to the breed, namely, the
size, activity, etc., and particularly gen
erative activity, according to a corre
spondent in The Poultry World, who
says: “An egg represents a large amount
of nutriment of condensed sort, and a
hen that lays 200 eggs per year will need
some sixteen or seventeen pounds more
of pure nutriment, for this purpose alone,
than one laying but half that number.
And every* additional ounce of fat laid
on your fowls’ ribs must go in at tbe bill,
so that fattening breeds consume more
than nonfattening ones under equal cir
cumstances. Again, a very active fowl
uses up entirely, without accounting for
it in eggs or fat, nutriment enough, in
excess of a quiet one, to pay for her live
liness. Every flap of your turkey’s wing
costs a grain of corn. y
From a series of observations we can
say that the average fowl at large con
sumes not far from a bushel of corn per
year. If at large she supplies herself
with green food and picks up insects,
larvae, etc. If kept confined animal food
must be artificially supplied, such
crushed chandlers’ scraps, chopped
sheep’s lights and livers find house scraps.
In summer you must add to this short,
tender grass, and in winter raw cabbage
or boiled potatoes'or other green vege
tables. This for a year r brings the esti
mate for the cost of the food of the con
fined fowl up to tho equivalent of
bushel and a half of corn. It will gener
ally be found that when corn varies in
price the cost of vegetables and animal
food varies with it, so that this estimate
is correct.”

which all remedies failed to cure. Fearing of
the CuneuBA Remedies, I i-esolved to give
them a trial. Hollowed the direction* care ully,

fore using two boxes of the Concur a,four cakes
of Cuticura Soap, and one bottle of cuticura
Resolvent, I was entirely cured. In addition
to my owu case, my baby boy, then about five
months old, was suffering with what I supposed
to be the same disease as mine, to such an ex

scab, from which there was a constant flow of
pus which was sickening to look ujioii, besides
two large tumor-like kernel- on the back of his
head. Thai ks to jour wonderful - uticura
Remedies, his scalp is perfectly well, a-d the
kernels have been scattered so that there is onl;
one little place by his left ear, and that is herd

has a fine coat of hair much better than that
destroyed by the disease. I would that the
whole world of sufferers from skin and blood
diseases kne ; tbe value of your Cuiicura Rem
