Get Your House in Order"

We are sorry to disturb the usual
equanimity of our readers, and espcc-
tally the delinquent portion of them,
but we must under compulsion in this
instance. Science is always truthful
and scientific men are infallible. And
when one OF these gentlemen tell us
that the world will surely be melted
with intense heat, and all sublunary
things will come to end on the 18th
day of August next, we are bound to
believe and communicate our belief to
the public, that all men may make
timely preparation for so terrible a
c~atastrophy. 1t seems that the famous
NJ. Plantamour, Professor of Astron-
omy at Geneva, that Swiss city i'll
which the Tribunal of Arbitration be-
tween this country and England is to
meet, has just discovered a new comet,
which, it is declared, exceeds in size
any similar body hitherto known
among men. An elaborate calculation
by this learned observer discovers the
further fact that this monstrous and
unwelcome visitor to this region is
darting with prodigious velocity di-
rectly toward our globe, and that a
collision win inevitably occur on the
18th of August, unless the attraction
of some other body shall defectit from
its course. Its approach is to be her.
aided by intense heat, which will de-
stroy all humanity long before the col
lision actually takes place. There is,
however, one consolation about this
story. If the man of science is not
deluding us, after his comet comes
within ordinary telescope observation
and is visible to the naked eye, there
will still be time to set our houses in
order and prepare for

Court.

Nothing of much Importance has
been done by This body since our last
issue. Some few cases have been dis
posed of and a good many held over
for the June term. The McGlynn and
Mcclellan cases came up on Monday
morning again, but as the Clerk had
made a blunder in %summoning a jury,
the whole day was consumed in cor
recting it. The law requires that the
Clerk shall issue a venire directing
the Sheriff to summons thirty-six ju-
rors, being electors and heuseholders,
and having the qualifications of jurors
as otherwise provided by law. In
stead of doing this, he drew from the
jury box without knowing whether
they were ~householders, electors, dead
or alive, and the result was that the
jury was illegal. Seventy appeared
two could not be found in the county,
and are probably sleeping the sleep of
death, not caring anything about the
case of McGlynn and Mcclellan. The
jury was discharged-the Prosecutor
entered a nolle. prosecute on the cnaf
ges of murder in the first degree, and a
jury was summoned from among the
by-standers for Tuesday morning at
8 o'clock. This being a balable case,
the Judge placed the amount at $500,
and remarked that if Mcclellan could
give 1920 he would let him out
Both gave the required bond. The
jury was filled about 4 o'clock OF
Tuesdey afternoon, and the trial of
Daniel McGlynn commenced. The
following are the Jurors: Hiram

The Grand Jury.

The Grand Jury adjourned on last
Thursday, after a session of seven
days. The result of their labors was
to find TwENTY-THREE bills of indict-
Inent, all against liquor vendors, with
the exception of three-a bill against
John Show, Jr., for an Assault and
Battery-and two of Forgery against
John NJ. Brown, late Corporation
Clerk. The Jury recommended the
building ofa new Jail, the white-wash-
ing aud general renovating of the
Court House and o~ut-houses, inside
and out. -

the enormous expense saddled on the
county by this 'seven days session."
and the summoning of over one hun
dred witnesses against the ''benZine-
ites," will, of course, rufic the gentle
ness of q few individuals who would
like to compel every man TO do bust
ness and live in conformity with their
notions. 1t will be said we are in

We are opposed to them, and believe
hat whenever the law is violated it is
right and proper to PROSECUTE, but
we never saw any good results from
PERSECUTION. For years this warfare
of persecution and personal abuse has
been going on here in Eaton. There
are some very mean men in the liquor
businessmen who would rob the
dead of a three cent piece-so there
are in all business-and there are some
whose word we would as soon take
as the bond of many who abuse them.
They have been elassed as thieves and
murderers, and all kind of opprobi-
Gus and vile epithets applied to them,
by these reformers and regulators of.
mems appetites, and we ask them in
all seriousness TO point us to a single
step toward their object? To cut
short the sale of "rot gut" seems to be
their mission. Is the places where it
can be had any less in number than
when they commenced their warfare2
Have they not increased? Is there
not two to me-? Then why is ltE-
Simply because persecution and per-
sonal abuse will never advance a re-
form If you car persuade men by
moral suasion and kindness, to live a
sober and industrious life, to conquer
their vicious and depraved desire for
the excessive use of liquor, then you
will have made a step toward drying
up the business. You will have plac-
ed the ak at the root instead of the top.
The drinker is es much to blame as
the vender, in our opinion, and we
think if these temperance reformers
would reflect a little soberly upon this
matter, they would pursue a different
course, and gain their object much
quicker and easier.

We are extremely anxious of having
correspondents furnish us with NEWS
TEN from all parts of the county,
which we will publish cheerfully, but
we have not space to give long arti-
cles that concern nobody but one or

for us to insert q column about. A
notice of the case and the verdict
would have been sufficient. 1t will
suit the "Register"-it is better than
Miller's ten columns.
The four pages of badly written on
both sides manuscript from Euphemia,
for the publication of which we are
guaranteed two Republican subscrib-
ers, is rejected. The fact of their be-
ing no responsible name attached to it,
would consign it to the "waste basket

Digging and Care of Potatoes.

From planting to cooking, and in
all processes between and inclusive,
potatoes arc inquest onably the most
abused things ever cultivated for hu-
man use; and in the long catalogue
Of errors peculiar to this excellent
csculent, one Of the most outrageous
is neglccting to harvest them rs soon
us they arc Iipe, No other crop was
oyer maltreatcd in this way. When
any other crop is fully matured, the
farmer secures it at once, lest it waite
and decays. But potatoes, being
out Of sight, are out of mind until a
convenient season. When the far
MGR eau find nothing else to do he
digs them, and then perhaps com
plains Of them for being of a bad
character. Any other crop would be
nv bad or worse if treated in n SINH
lar manner. Potatoes are not unfre.
queniIy left i'll tue ground several
weeks after being ripe, as though
they were dead stones and undam-
ageable, instead Of living, perisbable
organism subject to all the condi-
lions, transformations, and diseases
that pertain to all vital structures.
1t is seldom that potatoes are not
moro or less damaged by neglect 10
harvest at the proper time, or by i'm
proper mana. ement in harvesting,
however well they may have been
raised ard matured, Whent the tops
of potato plants wither the tub6rs
arc ripe, and, like other crops, will
Inlure il not at once gathered and
taken care of. If allowed to be once
soaked i'll the ground by a severe or
prolonged rain after ripening they
lose %irreparably some degree Of their
sweet flavor and some portion of
their nutrient properties; or aretbey
too sound and vital for seed pola-
toes; and every rain augments tie
damage, rendering them 10th less
palatable and less wholesome.
What farmer can be ignorant of
the fact that the potatoes he digs in
November and December are less dry
and sweet ihan those heate from tho
same field in September and October
previously Potatoes should not be
exposed 10 the air, sun, Or wind to
dry them, ms is customary, after be-
ing dug. Ii moist and dirty when
taken from the ground, cleaning and
drying does not protect them, but
the reverse. Every potato that be-
comes uncovered before it is ripe, or
which %protudes above it's earthly
covering, soon becomes blighted in
the exposed part-a fact which
proves that it is deienceless against
Wrial elements, and its need, when
dug, of immediate protection.-Po-

formation OF roads through the
mountainous providence of the

Hitherto its lofty hills and deep val
leys had rendered communication
difficult and circuitous. With a body
of 100000 laborers he cut passages
over the mountains, throwing the
removed soil in the valleys, and
where this was not sufficient to raise
the road to the required height, he
constructed bridges, which rested
en- pillars or abutmeuts. In anoth-
cr place he conceived and accom-,

Value Of Fodder Corn.

The Department Of Agriculture has
lust issued a statement presenting Il
long line of testimony from various
sources on the value of fodder corn
as a supplementary feed or soiling
crop for milch cows in summer. We
present below the conclusions de-
duced from the testimony given:
l. Green c~orn-fodder is neither
worthless nor the poorest of all soil
ing material.
> 1t is the best when planted in
d,ills or hills, not so thickly as to
prevent normal growth and develop
ment, cultivated to destroy weeds
and grasses, and cut between tassel-
ling and caring, when the clements
elaborated for production of the ear
are stored in readiness for immcol-
! ate use.
8. 1t is probable, both from the
rationale of the case and from the
facts presented above, that in the
northern ATTITUDES a mistake has Of
ten been made in sowing tbickly
southern corn which cannot mature,
the fodder from which fed in August
must tie very nearly worthless. On
the contrary, the fodder from north
ern corn, especially sweet corn, drill
ed aud cultivated, and fed Just before
caring, is found to be very valuable,
1. Its value, compared with lu-
cernc, milIet, the best grasses, and
other plants, containing Il large per
ceutage Of nutrimcnt, taking into
consideration the quantity produced
and the cost Of its production, has
not yet been determined fully, and
should be decided by a series Of
thorough and exhaustive expert
ments.
1t is evident, from all that is con-
fleeing in the opinion of different
feeders, that the differences are main
ly due to the degree of maturity or
soundness of the corn. That from
thick sowing, immature, colorless
and watery, is unfit to place before
the COWS of any well regulated dairy.
1t is probable that half that is fed is
either improperly cultivated, or in
a state of growth not productive of
the highest results. If this should
he the case, how stupid TO condemn
the maize for the Ignorance of the
cultivator. If it is found to contain
too little nutriment for its bulk, or
too small an amount of the flesh
forming clement, the suggestion
found in the practice of some, OF
giving Il small amount of more high
~ concentrated Eutrimcntl i'll conncc-
ton with corn fodder, is eminently
wise. This is u deficiency easily
remcdied, While corn is our ma
tional crop, less fastidious in the Gil
cumstances Of its growth than al
most any other, and capable Of yield
ing so largely under the proyerbiol
neglect which chnractcriz9s our cul-
ture, let not this fodder be discarded
until something Of greater practical
value is found, the superiority Of
which has actually demonstrated IN
der local circumstances Of sell, eli
mate and cultivation.
