Between the Chicago & Northwestern and
Milwaukee roads About the Disputed
Crossing at Clinton.
Sioux City Journal.

Sioux City Journal.
The war which has been waged at Clin-
ton between the Milwaukee and the
Northwestern companies was suspended
at noon of Friday. For several days
previous matters had been quite lively.
The sheriff was there with large posse;
there was talk of calling out the militia;
each of the contending companies had
several hundred men on the, ground
ready for fight or foot race. It was
all about the Milwaukee folks wanting to
cross the track Of the Northwestern. No
blows were exchanged, but the state Of
seige was varied by little episodes, such
as two engines belonging to the different
companies, trying to- pail each other
away from the contested crossing whole
sale arrests for contempt of court, and
all that sort of thing. Both the United
States court, and the state supreme court
are investigating the subject. and until
they arrive at conclusion, the Milwau-
kee track winsbe put down and used over
q more roundabout route.

Prof. Beal, of Michigan, says
III you have money to fool away,
seed down your young orchard to
clover and timothy or SOW a crop OF
wheat or oats. If you want the
trees to thrive, cultivate we'll till
they are seven to ten years old.
Spread ashes, manure or salt broad
cast. Stop cultivating in August,
weeds or no weeds; this allows the
trees to ripen for winter. The ques-
ton whether to cultiveto old or
chards or not must be answered by
manuring the trees. If the color
of the leaves is good and they grow
well and bear fine fruit they are
doing we'll enough even if in grass
But if the leaves are pale, the an
nual growth less than a foot on II
year trees, and the fruit small and
poor, something is the matter and
they are suffering for want Of
cultivation or manure or both. To
judge of the condition of an apple
tree is like judging Of the condition
Of sheep in pasture. Look at
the sheep, and if they art plump
and fat they are all right.

Tomato Preserves.

Nice tomato preserves can be
made in the following manner. Sc
lect smooth ripe tomatoes, scald and
remove the skins and the hard part
near the stem. Cut cash in each
lobe, and with the thumb remove
the seeds. Rinse well in cold water,
which will remove any stray seeds
and the slime, To every pound Of
fruit thus prepared, allow half a
pcand of sugar, cook until clear,
and just before taking from the fire
add lemons cut in thin slices, in
the proportion of about one lemo n
to every pound of fruit, Keep in
air tight jars the same as other
fruit.
Tomatoes should Se used, either
for preserving or for canning, before
the cool weather of autumn has
made them acid, as everyone, per-
haps, already knows.
