And With What Success She Sues 9!
Poor Man. "
A well.rounded and petite figure, al
ways clad in black, with large, brown
eyes, clear-cut an 4 regular features, and
small and and well.shaped hands, help
to make Mrs. Maria: A. Harm, of Brad
ford, Pa, attractive. She has achieved.
q reputation as a speculator in petro-
leu11. She went in too deep, and to ex-
stricate has called in the aid Of the law.
She is widow and the mother Of two
bright and interesting boys. She eu-
gagged as her broker Col. n. D.. Preston,
and delivered to him duly certificates Of
deposit to the amount of about $40, 900.
The broker held these certifi-
Gates, he pretends, for security. and put
up the margins himself. For time for
tune smiled on the woman speculator:
On the first deal she cleared $500, and
on the second 81 ,34S. The broker gave
his checks for these amounts and re-
turned one of the certificates of depos-
it. Mrs. Harm then wanted to buy
loo. 900 barrels of oil. Col. Preston's
hair began to stand on end. He would
not undertake to handle such bundle.
She then proposed to compromise on
5000 barrels and failing in this, plead
ed for so, ,O0O barrel lot. The broker
was not to be moved from his purpose.
At that time the oil country was on the
verge of the great Cherry Grove excite
ment, which. when it came, ruined
thousands and sent the price from eight
tv.six cents to forty-nine cents a barrel.
Col. Preston. after much persuasion,
consented to and did purchase 25,OCO
barrels Of oil for her, and subsequently
5000 parrels were added. Without
warning well No. 846, the pioneer of the
Cherry Grove excitement, was brought
in gushing out thousands of barrels OF
crude day. The market went 10
pieces. Mrs. Harm hung on to the oil.
Col. Preston became alarmed. Margins
were daily swallowed up and the mark
ct was fairly sinking out ofsight. Every
day for two weeks the broker, accord
ing to his statement. called upon her
and appealed to, her to take the oil out
of his hands, aud one day he served q
written notice on her that 1t the oil was
not taken out of his hands by certain
day it would be sold by public sale. The
day came, but Mrs. Harm was absent.
The oil was sold. For 9 time the case
was allowed to. rest. A few days ago
Mrs. Harm sued Col. Preston for 50, 400
damages. The case was beard before
arbitrators. Mrs. Harm claimed that
she had advanced SIC, 600 for margins,
that other parties were ready to carry
the oil, and that the broker sold her out
before he had a right to. Col. Preston
offered no defence. '5..as
The arbitrators rendered an award in

The dog. If he had swallowed the nose
without biting it of, it must have proved
fatal to the boy.

Farming Notes.

Every dairyman should raise at least
one-eighth of an acre of corn fodder for
each COW. to help the pasture through
the dry season.
The Houdan stands at the head of the
French fowls as layers, and for the ia
Dle. They are hardy, sprightly, hand
some, and the chicks mature early.
The advantage of an ensilage crop is
that it makes the farmer Independent
of drought. Drilled corn or sugar cane
is rarely injured seriously by dry wealth
er. II the weight is slightly lessened, it
is so much the richer, and the smaller
bulk of stalks will require nearly as
much room in the silo after being thor
oughly pressed.
Fuller, in his ''Small Fruit Culturist,"
says, II do not believe that there is one
acre Of strawberries in thousand, ',ulti-
yated in this county, that yields over
.one-half what it would be if the ground
was properly prepared before planting" {"
: The dead leaves on squash vines
should be carefully removed and burned.
They are usually infested with the eggs
of the squash bug, and the first leaves
that appear are Of no use as soon as
others form, and are then
sure to wither and die.
! The feet and legs Of horses require
more care than the rest of the body.
They must not be allowed to stand in
filth and moisture, and in grooming q
horse the feet and legs must be as tho
,oughly brushed and cleaned as the
coat.
Experiments have proved that musty
meal is not wholesome food for any OF
the domestic animals. Disease and
death have been directly traced to its

fed gave bitter milk, and ceased to thrive

FIELD AND FARM,
Flowing Under Glover.

A New York State correspondent
writes to the Country Gentleman: "Plow-
ing clover for wheat is still largely prac-
iiced in this section, with the difference
that now the top is mostly cut off and
saved for hay, and only the roots, with
what foliage cannot be moved, turn i'm
der. One fact about the recently cut
clover hay may not generally be known.
It is that SO long rs the cloyer is stand
ng the soil will be as hard as.d brick;
and almost t1nplowab!e; but If plowed
within three OF fottr days after the clover
has been removed the soil will turn tp
with comparati y4 ease: / have Noticed
two instances of this within the month;
and it is fact which have never be-
fore seen recorded. That the mass of
clover foliage should dry the soil rapid
ly is not strange. The inexplicable part
Of it is that after this foliage has been
removed, without any rain; the soil
should become triable and comparative
ly moist. 1t may be that the process of
drawing water from the subsoil, which
with full foliage is at once evaporated,
goes on with little interruption for a
time after the foliage is removed. The
surface roots will thus be made very sap
py, just as the sap exudes from the
stumps of vigorous trees cut in spring
after the flow of sap has begun. Prob
ably the effect in helping the plowing by
removing the summer foliage would not
be the same with plants not having the
long deep roots Of clover. The expert
ments Of Voelcker have shown that
clover makes the best preparation for
wheat after the second crop of hay is
removed. The soil is then richer IN fer
tilizing material than at any previous
stage of clover growth. It is it benefi-
cial effects on, the subsoil that makes
clover so good preparation for wheat:
surface are of little value"
