Packard auditor to his, and they both obtain

The Nichols sheriff served his first, and then
seized the envelope. He now holds it, and if
the Packard Government is recognized, the
lottery Company will have lost just $4,000.
Warned by this occurrence, other large corpo-

CROP INDICATIONS.

The bad weather of week ago has been
succeeded by season propitious and spring
like, of which the farmers are taking due
advantage. With the adjustment of the
political questions which have kept our peo-
pie in constant state of agitation since last
November, all hands have gone industriously
to work, not only with energy, but with q
confidence and security they have not felt for
many years. So far as we are advised, the
laboring class is contented, and while there is
no difficulty on the part Of planters in secur-
ing labor, both races, in this county, are NOV
ing together amicably and psaceably. The
indications are that a good crop will be
pitched; and just here we will avail our
selves of the liberty allowed the newspapers
at this season, and urge upon the farmers the
Importance of planting full crop Of bread.
stufs. Should the war prospect in Europe
eliminate in hostilities between the great
powers of the eastern hemisphere, there will
be but little demand for cotton, while Amer
ican grain will command a high price, abroad
as we'll as at home. 1t, therefore, behooves
our people to guard against such contingen-
cy.' With plenty of corn, wheat and bacon
in their garners, the farmers will be perfectly
independent, no matter what may be the price
of cotton.

The fruit crop in this section, which at

of blight, liable to befall it for few days yet,
there will be a full crop, if we may except the
earlier varieties-such as apricots, &c. Cher

Origin Of the st. Louis Fire.

j. E. Russell, chief engineer of the
hotel, made statement of his expert.
ence on the night of the fire. He says
that he left the engine room at II 80
o'clock, leaving an assistant in charge,
and he went to his room on the fifth floor,
near the baggage elevator. He was
aroused about five minutes past one
o'clock, by the shrieks of women. He
hurried out and found the hall filled
with smoke, which came from the freight
elevator, but saw no fire. He started
for the south part of the house, with a
view to descend, by the servants stair
way, and was obliged to crawl on his
hands and knees to prevent sufocation,
the smoke was SC dense. There were a
number of women on the fifth floor, cry
ing piteously for help, whom he told to
follow him to the lower floor. Some did,
and others were too distracted appar-
ntly to do as he directed. Finally he
reached the dining room floor, passed
into the kitchen, and descended to the
basement. Here he found the smoke
very dense, and that the pumps con-
nected with the engine had been in oper-
alton, and that some employees had been
throwing water on the fire, which at that
time was raging furiously in the store
room. A nozzle had been blown off be-
fore he reached the basement. Another
was then put on, and he then put the
pumps atwork again, and turned stream
on the fire. This was continued until
the fire became 30 hot, and had spread SO
far, that all were obliged to flee for their
lives. They made their exit through
the basement under the rear part of
the building and emerged on Elm
Street.

THOSE who fear the destruction of our
forests resulting from the demand for
hemlock bark, will take comfort in the
success of attempts to obtain tannin
from other sources. 1t has been esti-
mated that one cord of hemlock bark
produces one barrel Of good tannin ex-
tract worth 500. 1t is now found that
one cord of alder will produce the same
amount; and one ton OF sweet fern gives
of the best tannin 1922 worth, besides a
value of $3.50 in an inferior kind.
There is said to be considerable activity
in Hancock County, Me-, in the new in
dustry of extracting tannin from sweet
fern.
In the course of a recent lecture in
Paris regarding the uses of birds, an es-
innate was formed of the damage to
crops by the robbery of a nest COZ aiming
five eggs During the first month each
young bird eats an average of about fifty
eight flies or other insects a day. The
aggregate, multiplied by thirty, for the
month makes 900 insects to every nest.
Every insect eats daily from blossoms
and leaves an amount equalling its
weight until it reaches maturity. 1t was
calculated that in thirty days each in
sect would damage thirty blossoms, and
thereby destroy thirty fruits, and that
$500 insects would kill 225,000 fruits.
1t will be well, therefore, for farmers
SOILS to reflect upon the damage done to
their parents by the wanton robbery OF
single nest.
The old-fashioned farmer can perhaps
remember when he stared at the idea OF
baling hay and putting whole load into
few compact bundles. Years ago, how
ever, it became familiar practice. But
we doubt if it has ever occurred to him
to bale manure, and he will stare in good
earnest to be told that Mr.. Alderman, Of
New York, is doing this very thing. He
bales stable manure in common hay.

like substance, and is in fine order to ap.
ply to the land. By and by we shall ex.
pect to see our farmers drawing their
baled hay to market and returning with
full loads of baled manure. The circle
of production will then be complete.

To MEASURE CoRN IN THE CRIB
This rule will apply to acrib of any size
or kind. Two cubic feet of good, sound,
dry corn in the ear will make bushel
of shelled corn. To get, then, the guam
tity of shelled corn in crib of corn in
the ear, measure the length, breadth,
and height of the crib inside of the rail:
multiply the length by the breadth, and
the product by the height then divide
the product by two, and you have the
number of bushels of shelled corn in the
crib. TO find the number of bushels Of
apples, potatoes, etc, in bin, multiply
the length, breadth, and thickness to-
gether, and this product by eight, and
point off one figure in the product for
decimals.

This singular man lived in Greece. He
was distinguished for his eccentricites, bad
manners, and bad disposition. It was his
chief business to find fault. For example,
he took lantern one day when the sun
was shining brightly and went out to search
for an honest man, thereby insinuating that
such persons were exceedingly scarce.
When Alexander, a distinguished military
gentleman, paid him a visit, and inquired
what he could do for him, he had the impu-
dence to tell HIM to "get out of his sun
shine" To cap the climax of his oddities,
be dressed like beggar and lived in a tub !
He was sour, grabbed, crusty old bachelor.
We infer that he had no wife, first, because
history does not mention her second, be-
cause no woman would take kindly to one
of his habits, dress, or manners, or aspire to
become mistress of his mansion. "There
was an cid woman who lived in a shoe,' it is
true, but the woman who would live in a
tub, especially with such a companion, has
not been heard from. The misanthropic
spirit which possessed this man was doubt
less due to disordered digestion and bilious
ness, one of the prominent symptoms of
which is morose, fault-hndipg disposition.
The tongue is heavily coated, giving rise to
bad taste, the appetite is not good, and the
patient feels dull, sleepy, or dizzy, and is apt
to be fretful. Unfortunately, Mr.. Diogenes
lived several centuries before DIR. Perce's
