ATHENS BANNER TUESDAY MORNING JANUARY 5, 1892 THE. INSTITUTES. * THE FARMERS-WILL BE SCIENTIFI CALLY INSTRUCTED : *? THROUGH THESE LECTURES. Th« Officers of the Alliance are High ly In Favor of the Proposed Plan to Carry on the Campaign of 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.

Burk, of the United Sat-a third cavalry, says the whole Mexican p pnlation of the border states are sympathizers, if not actual follow er; in the ivvoluuo .-ary movement;.

A telegram from Monterey. Mexico, states that it is believed that Ga.z i has a strong secret following in that city who have made every preparation to join him n.i the frontier. The stock of arms and umiimuhicn there, and at other paints in northern Mexico and in the towns on the Texas frontier, have been said within the past three weeks, and the agents of the revolutionists are said to be the purchasers. ADULTERATED FLOUR lie Thinks They are Heirs. • 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. No Place for Saw telle'* Body. Dover, N. H., Dec. 80.—The body of Isaac Sawtelle, the famous murderer, who died of apoploxy in his cell on the eve of his execution, like Mahornie’s coffin, is suspended between heaven and earth as regards a resting place, for all the cemetery corporations approached have refused to permit the assassin’s re mains to rest in their land. The dead mau’s lawyer, to whom was left the body for interment, is in a quandery. He has carted the body without success all over the state. Saw telle left word that he wanted his body buried beside that of Ins victim and brother Hiram, but Mt. Hope cem etery officials refuse it. In five New Hampshire towns the people declired their intention to disinter the remains if buried there and hang them to a tr<- . Tiie body is in an undertaker’s place here. Intended In Hellene the Hunger of the Su awing Peasant*. St. Petersburg, Dec. 3d.—The scan dal arising from, the discovery of adul- ; tcrated flour here is apt to make trouble for a number of people. The consign ment comprised 800,000 poods (7,800,000 English pounds) of barley flour which had been purchased from dealers in Liban, with the view to regulating the price of wheat in the St. Petersburg market, as well as to afford relief to famine sufferers. An investigation has proved that tiie entire consignment had been adultered with chalk dust and other substances. To make sore of the nature of-the adulterants employed the government officials had quantity of the so called Hlnwd the Minister*. Montreal, Dec. 80.—The feeling of the E nglish people in Montreal over An ger’s dismissal of the Mercier gorcr; i m nt was shown in the reception to th new ministers. All of the members o the Tory cabinet recently called to of fico arrived from Quebec. The Tor papers have been appealing to theii frit-nds for several days back to give th min.sters a big receptiou, and bra- ban Is were engaged, but the reception turned out a dead failure. The minL ters were hissed as they passed througi the streets, and had great difficulty in obtaining a bearing. After the meetin; was over most of those present repairs to the residence of Mercier and tendered him an ovation. It looks as if Mercier was going to obtain another triumph a the elections. He dentes the charges tbat his mi nistry embezzled millions of dollars from the treasury. flour subjected'to a chemical analysis. This disclose-1 the fact that several sub stances had been used for adulterating the flour, and that they comprised such a large p’-ouortion of the consignment that the nse f the alleged floor would have constituted a very dangerous menace to the health if not the lives of those who partook of it. The Novoe Vreuiya remarks that if snob frauds can be perpetuated in the capital of the empire, tho appalling accounts that have been received of similar crimes in the famine stricken provinces can not bo exaggerated, as some persons aro disposed to believe they are. Major General Mile* In Washington. Washington, Dec. 80.—Major Gener al Miles, accompanied by Mrs. Miles arrived here and went immediately to his quarters at the Shoreham. The general declined to comment on the Chilian situation or the troubles with the Garza revolutionists on the Mexi can border, but denied emphatically that he had been ordered here by the war department. He came, he said, to attend the wedding of Miss Rachel Sherman, daughter of Senator Sher man, and a relative of himself. He ex e to remain here for a few days. Chilian situation remains un changed. MAY BE ANNULLED. The Sett Location, Selection and Prep aration of the Manure. The proper place for the hotbeds is in the same plot with cold frames, near a water supply, and under the shelter of a hill, building or tight, tall fence or hedge. Make an excavation a little more than six feet wide (for sash of common length), twenty-four inches deep and as 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.” MR. INMAN TALKS. Nkw Yot k, Dec 30.—Mr. John In man, who has beeu sick for ten days or two weeks from a severe attack of the grip, and who-has, therefore, not been able to be at his office in that time, was told of the rumors about the non-pay ment of the Central dividend today. ' 1 have just heard of that foi the first jime/’-he said. "There can be nothing serious the matter—nothing beyond a mere technicality, which will be straightened out as soon as I am able to jet to my office. I have been very sick, >ut am much better, and expect to be able to get to my office in a day or two, and then matters will be straightened out and the dividend paid. 1 am satis fied there is nuthing material in the way of such payment. It cannot be any thing but a question as to certain secu rities the Ceutral was to. furnish, anti had I been in my office tbe past few days tbere would have been no trouble at all.” ARE BEING PAID. Savannah, Ga , Dec. 30.—The hitch in the payment of the Cential divi- duned in New York is not affecting the payment of tbe dividends in Savannah, and tb-y are being paid now. Geu Vlexander was shown the Associated Press dispatch tonight announcing the failure to pay in New York, and he evinced surprise that such troubh -hould have arisen. Gen. Alexander aid the Central Bank has been paying dividends bere since Saturday and wij continue to pay them. 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 the weed seeds near the surface have had time to germinate. Then remove the,sashes, rake the surface thoroughly -NINGS THE WORLD OVER. Killed HI* Associate*.

MANURE HOTBEDS. the Philadelphia Farm Journal concern- j city, by a Wabash train, are dissatisfied CROSSBAR FOR HOTBED. ing the bench depicted in theaccom panying cut: To make a bench for husking shocks of corn on. 1 take my cultivator wheels and make an axle about feet long 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 bench at a proper height. At the axle the uprights are tied to the long pieces by braces. Higher wheels would make tho uprights unnecessary. The drawing explains how this convenient and porta ble corn bench is constructed. The grain of the corn plant, equally with its leaves and its stalks, requires thorough air drying for preservation. Ear com, according to the New York World, ought not to be stored in a tight com bam or in a building of any kind where the air does not have free circula tion. If put away in such places before it has been thoroughly dried, which will take many weeks, it is almost certain to become damaged, especially if the fall and winter be mild and damp. Com is never kept in better condition than when stored in the old fashioned ont of door cribs, with roofs that will simply keep off the rain, and with sides so open that A BENCH ON WHICH TO HUSK CORN, the ears may be seen through the slats. If stored in a more expensive comhouse, as is now quite common, the same pro vision for ventilation should be secured. 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. HOTBED CROSS SECTION, to kill the weeds, and make a smooth and fine seedbed, and yon are ready for planting or sowing seeds. The second illustration represents a cross section of bed. 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.

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.” ou L.

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.” A Minister’s Cure.
