A Dry Cellar.

A correspondent of the 1mcrican
Agricult,wist tells how to make dry
cellar out of wet one. He says "Dig
out the bottom of the cellar, commenc-
ing at the sides two inches below the
walls, increasing the depth to the center,
so it shall have the form of an inverted
arch then the earth should be pounded
firmly and well cemented, allowing the
cement to go under an inch or so, and
up the sides for two feet. Then the bot
tom should be filed up level with sand
and paved. If this is all properly done
the cellar will be dry permanently.

LOUISA IA.

Here is an illustration of the condi-
ton of things in louisiana A fortnight
ago two judges presented themselves in
an interior parish to hold court. The
Kellogg Judge got in first and took pos
session of the courthouse the other
occupied large room over Il store.
Two sheriifs opened the two courts
about the same time. Some of the law
yers went to ono and some to the other,
according to political prediction,
while others moved between the two
without anchoring at either. But the
suitors did not care to have their cases
adjudicated by either "court " under
the circumstances, and business was
slim. The Kellogg Judge sent two fell
lows to Jail, and the McEnery judge did
not do anything. When the "courts "
adjourned and started for the next par
ish, both judges went together, after
the manner of good-humored joint cam
paign canvassers. GIVE got the adj

FARM AND HOME.
Maxlms for the Farmer.

l. Only good farming pays. he who
who sows or plants without reasonable
assurance of good crops annually had
better earn wages of some capable neigh
Dor than work for so poor paymaster
as he is certain to prove himself.
2. The good farmer is proved by the
steady appreciation of his crops. Any
ono may reap an ample harvest from a
fertile virgin soil the good farmer alone
grows good crops at first, and better and
better ever afterward
3. 1t is far easier to maintain the pro-
ductive capacity of farm than to re-
store it. To exhaust its fecundity, and
then attempt it's restoration by buying
costly commercial fertilizers, is wasteful
and irrational.
4. The good farmer sells mainly such
products as are least exhaustive. Ne
cessity may constrain him for the first
year or two to sell grain. or even hay !;
but he will soon send off his surplus
mainly in the form of cotton, or wool, or
meat, or butter and cheese, or something
else that returns to the soil nearly all
that is taken from it. A bank account
daily drawn upon while nothing is de-
posted to it's credit must soon respond,
"No funds" So with farm similarly
treated.
5. Rotation is at least negative fertili-
cation. 1t may not positively enrich a
farm it will at least retard and post
pone it's impoverishment. He who grows
wheat after wheat, corn after corn, for
twenty years, will need to emigrate be-
fore the term is fulfilled. The same
farm cannot support nor endure) him
longer than that. All our great wheat
growing sections of fifty years ago arc
wheat growing no longer, while England
grows large crops thereof on the very
fields that fed the armies of Saxon Har-
old and William the Conqueror. Ro-
tation preserved these, as the lack of it
ruined those. -BOston journal Of Chcm-

When to Sell Grain.

A correspondent of the Erening Wis
consin writes 1 would say to you, the
one great mistake of the farming com
munity is this: the practice of contract
ing debts to be paid in the fall of the
year instead of having them come due in
June or July, in order to have the bene-
fit of the fall and spring markets. |
find great many of the farmers sell
their last bushel of grain at one-half
or two-thirds its value in order to pay
their liabilities, and so lose the profits,
thereby damaging themselves and the
surrounding community by draining the
country of every dollar, leaving nothing
to make improvements with. | have
noticed that the middle-men are fully
aware of your obligations, or, if not, the
first thing you do is to inform them, by
saying, :" / must raise some money to
pay debts what can you give me a
bushel for my grain ?" That gives them
to understand that you are obliged to
sell, no matter what you get, and they
take the advantage of you.

CMt-Worms and Corn.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman gives this treatment of corn
as sure way to keep it from the attacks
of cut-worms: Soak the corn in water
till it swells as large as the kernels will
ordinarily expand, then add pound and
half of copperas dissolved in warm
water, and allow it to soak one day, stir
ring it several times. Afterwards
sprinkle enough land plaster over it to
prevent the grains from sticking to-
gether.

Some time ago Brigham Young, the
head of the Mormon Church, resigned
the various civil trusts with which his
adherents had vested him. and announc-
ed to the throng assembled in the Taber
nacle at Salt Lake City that he was 60
ing to fold his tent and steal silently
away to the wilds and solitudes of
Arizona, beyond the reach of mails and
telegraphs. This announcement is now
supplemented by another statement to
the effect that he has made will divid-
ing his property, which is computed to
amount to eight or ten millions of dol
lars, among his sixteen wives and sixty
odd children This remarkable man
first saw the light of day in the ancient
village of Nottingham, VT, on the first
day of the year 1901, and is, therefore,
over - years old. AT the age of 81 he
was converted to Mormomism, imme-
diately after the organization of the
Church. Three years later he became
one of the twelve Apostles, and was
very active in securing converts to the
new sect. In 1914 he was chosen the
first President of the Church, Immediate
ly after death of Joseph Smith. He led
the emigration to Utah in 1917, and has
from that time presided over the devel-
opment of Mormonism, ruling his fol-
lowers with despotism to which the
majority have always been submissive,
and building up a simple, Ignorant, but
energetic and industrious people into
community of extraordinary prosperity.
As long as Utah, by it's geographical
position, was isolated from the rest of
the country his power remained sub
stantially undiminished but since the
opening of the Pacific railroad and the
great silver discoveries have brought
upon the Mormons an immense lnroad
of Gcntilcs, with flood of hostile IDEAS
shaken, and in his old age he abandons
Il conflict which he can no longer wage
with hope ofsuccess. Were heayounger
man, he would doubtless adhere to the
idea of emigrating to some island of the
Pacific, which step he seriously con-
tcmplated, but for some reason aban-
doncd, nearly twenty years ago. Then
his plan was to sell out the Mormon pos
sessions in Utah and remove his whole
people to the uncivilized and almost I'M
inhabited island of Papua, where they
might, for an indefinite period, defy the
antagonism of the world. But Brigham
Young is old and broken, and will doubt
less be contcnted if he is able to spend
the rest of his days undisturbed alike by
schisms in the Mormon Church and by
process from the courts of the United
States.

WE'LL may William NJ. Tweed pray to
be delivered from his friends, if the
statement of a New York letter writer is
to be believed. This correspondent in
forms us, on the authority of promi-
nent ex-municipal officer of New York
city, that the confidence which the
"Boss" reposcd in some of his kinsmen
and pretended friends has been sorely
abused. After his downfall he made
over large amount of property to
them, and did everything in his power
to dispossess himself legally of anything
and everything which might he seized
as the due of the city government. Now
that he has transferred good deal Of
real estate, be is not likely to get it back
again-his friends evidently believing
that it is no crime to steal what has been
stolen. Three years ago he was esti-
mated to be worth 81 900, 900 or IS, 600, =

so, 900, 900. To-day, those who ought

How to Insert Screws in Plaster Walls.
1t often becomes desirable to insert
screws in plaster walls, without attach
ing them to any woodwork; but when
we turn them in the plaster gives way
and our effort is vain. And yet Il screw
may be inserted in plaster so as to hold
light pictures, etc, very firmly. The
best plan is to enlarge the hole to about
twice the the diameter of the screw, fill
it with plaster of paris, such as is used
for fastening the tops of lamps, etc., and
bed the screw in the soft plaster. When
the plaster has set the screw will be held
very strongly.

Sowing Plaster.

A correspondent of the Western Far
naer writes The best method of sowing
plaster is undoubtedly machine made
for that particular business, as it is
heavy to carry and rather dirty to handle.
In the absence of that, one have prac-
ticed considerably is to put your plaster
in n wagon near the hind end then, with
a driver, a person can SOW his plaster
very evenly and comparatively with ease.
Another way is to carry it in a basket
and SOW by stakes similar to sowing broad
cast. AS to the proper time to SOW on
wheat, I would state that if you seed
with clover, Immediately after seeding is
the best time if not seeded, | SOW no
plaster, as L have never received any
benefit by putting it on wheat. The
best time to SOW plaster on clover is
after it gets good start, generally about
May l, but never before the grass
starts, as have noticed some farmers
doing this spring.

A late number of -1pplctons' journal
has very readable paper on st. Peters
burgh, its palaces, public buildings, etc,
from which we CLEAN many interesting
facts about the splendid capital of the
Russians. 1t is related that some of the
largest and most extensive buildings the
world contains, or ever did contain, are
to be found in that city. ST. Isaac's
Church, we are told, cost over $50, 000,-
600, the foundation alone costing ST.
000,0 600. The pillars at its entrance are
go feet high and u feet in circumfer
ence. The entire oupola is covered with
gold, fourteen bushels of ducats being
required for the purpose. The cross
surmouting the cupola is also of pure
gold. "Winter Palace" surpasses in
size and splendor all royal residences.
1t is nearly square, and has Il frontage
of 700 feet. 1t contains 1000 rooms,
and is inhabited by over 1000 persons
while the Emperor is residing there.
The walls of the "Thorne Saloon" in
this immense building, are entirely COW
cred with gold. The "White Saloon"
adjoining, has its walls covered with
FURNISHED silver, relieved with pictures
in gold. Near this is the "Taurida
Palace" which contains an immense
ballroom half mile in circumference.
Alongside of the ballroom is the royal
conservatory, which, when occasion re-
quires, may be connected it with by re-
moving a temporary partition. Between
these rooms is line of pillars made of
the purest marble, and highly orna-
mented. These rooms are illuminated
by 1000 gas lights issuing from chan
deliers of gold and glass. Near the
building is the Hermitage, where there
are 40 rooms filed with paintings,
and four more are set apart for the re-
pository of jewels and precious stones.

The Springfield (Mass.) Rcp"blican
thinks the deaths of Cakes Ames and
James Brooks were FASTENED, though
perhaps not occasioned, by their sense
of public disgrace, and draws a moral
therefrom. 1t says: cit is well to
point this moral now: That the hold
ing of high Office in this country, how
ever successfully it may be sought, or
however lightly esteemed as a trust, by
its holder, does bring with it certain
responsibility, and does open some very
serious possibilities, which no Congress-
man with moral sense can afford to
disregard. There is something terrible
in public censure, when visited with
slow and reluctant accumulation upon
public servants who have misconceived
or misapplied the opportunities which
their position gave them"

WOULD DO 1T AGAIN.

Stockton, California, has had a hang
ing at which and near which there were
some unusual scenes. John l. Murphy
was to be hung for shooting and killing
his brother-in-law, Patrick Murphy, in
1868. He shot the man. as he said, for
abusing his wife. Mrs. Murray was
Murphy's sister. The woman was an
invalid, and has since died, and the gal
lows has finished the family. The exc
cution was to be in private in the Jail
yard, there being about one hundred
invited witnesses. As the hour drew
near, it was found that nearly all the town
of Stockton had assembled to the roofs
of the neighboring houses, where full
view of the jail-yard and gallows could
be obtained. Under such circumstances
the execution would have been virtually
public, and therefore not according to
law. 1t was necessary to dislodge the
spectators to carry out the law, and as
it would take too long to shoot them off
their pcrches, the trc-enginery of the
city were brought to bear upon them,
and they were squirted away long
enough for the drop to fall. The law
was thus technically fulfilled in respect
to private executions.
The murder was Murphy's only Of
fence i'll life that ever became public
On the scaf1;old he said that he had
done nothing that he felt bad about
He had killed man but had not com
mitted a murder, and would do the same
thing under like circumstances. He
had only acted in defense of his sister,
as any man would do. SO he died, and
