he cultivated that cereal alone, DIR. Glenn
replied: at is the only crop that will
bear transportation. 1t is the only crop
not perishable."
Besides the Colusa ranch, DR.. Glenn
owned stock farm in Eastern Oregon
and Northwestern Nevada, from which he
few years ago sold Il, 900 head Of cattle
out of total Of 5000 This property,
with the stock and Improvements, Is
valued at 800, 900. He had also stock
ranch in Nevada which has on it 70, 600
head Of cattle. but is of less value. His
stock raising never extended to fancy
breeds; it has simply been confined to
beef cattle, horses of common kinds,
and mules On the Coiusa ranch his
attention was turned merely to raising
draught animals most needed in his Or
binary farm operations, The only ex-
ceptiOns have been the horses intended
for carriage use by A>pself and fam

In 1879. when DR.. Glenn was candi~

the COlusa ranch was about 100000

Professor E. NJ. Shelton, of the Kan

Sheep are subject to catarrh-some-

sumption of the lungs. These troubles
are brought on by exposure to cold

4 Potato Congress.

There is TO be potato congress III
France this year Prizes will be offered
for new varieties raised from seed. 1T l.
also proposed that the congress estsb'
lish correspondence with other coun-
tries for the exchange Of potatoes OF ac-
knowledged excellence in their respec,
tive localities. 1t is to he hoped that at
the proper time our department Of a9r!'
culture may hear from the congress and
heartily Join in this project for an ex-
change. The seedsmen, we know,
do not greatly relish the dealings of the
department III seeds and plants, and all
manner of fun has been made Of the
government seed store, and all sorts Of
charges has been made against it, such AZ
the bringing of noxious weeds, etc, bot.
after all, the fact remains that the mass
of farmers have been wreatly benefited
in many cases, and new industries have
grown out of the introduction Of foreign
plants. There is no sense in discOntln-
uing this branch Of the department. All
this is needed in more careful sn'
pervision Of its work. Let the people

How to Make a Bouquet.
Wayarlv MapaZine


Take first mass of white. it may he
truss of white geranlum, double white
stock or clematis, or, for small bouquet
bunch of the small double pyrethrum;
then scarlet, which to an artist means
orange; as, for instance, a double scarlet
geranium, Tom Thumb nasturtium, OF
any brilliant orange, though that color
is not SO abundant as it ought to be. Put
any of these next the white on one side
of it; then take red, q bright rose, and
the brighter the red the nearer it should
be to the white, as the other duller reds
may be beyond it (by red is meant all
,olors of crimson, but red is the true
designation); place those on the other
side of the white. Some very dark al
most black, may be brought near the
white, but only very little of that col
or, and beyond the scarlet very little
blue, such as that of an Emperor Will
liam pansy, Or little sprig of lobelia.
Beyond the red have purple and yellow
brought together, and on the other side
pictures, which although rich in color,
are not prominent, though any flower
that has broken colors will do beyo nd

BISMARCK A GOOD FRIEND.
Incidents Of the Potsdam Battalion

Incidents Of the POtsdam Battalion
Which Tried Wit and Friendship.
From the Paris Register.
A good Bismarck anecdote, showing
the Prince TO have been good comrade
from his youth up, is the following: lin
1888 he entered the Potsdam Battalion OF
"Garde Jaeger" as one year old volun-
teer. and six months later, at his request
he was transferred in the "Second Jae.
gers" at Greifwald, in order to profit by
the lectures in the Agricultural School OF
Eldena. One of his comrades in the bat
talon was young man, who at the pres
ent dav is still counted among the great
landed proprietorS of the Province oil
Pomerania He then stood in the second
rank Immediately behind Bismarck.
"In spite of stringent orders to the
contrary, the jaegers persisted in fire.

storks on the meadows near Griefswald
while out on a march, drilling or exer-

the barracks Bislnarck's hind man
brought down bird with bullet. The
officers, although marching good way
ahead, heard the report, saw the stork

halt, and forthwith began to examine
the guns. Everything was asst should
be in the first rank. The culprit in the
second.act began.to tremble all the more
for his safety, inasmuch as his promo
ton to q lieutenancy was at stake in case
he should be found out. This Bismarck
realized, and while his friend was on the
point of voluntarily denouncing himself,
in order to clear the rest of the men
from an unjust suspicion, he whisp ered
to him. Look shary; take your gun in
the left arm, I'll throw you mime NO
sooner said than done, SO swiftly in fact
that the inspecting officer did not notice
it, and the case of the killed stork re-
manned an unexplained mystery. Over

Watering Plants i'm Pots.

Watering plants is one of the most i'm
portant things in the culture Of house
plants, and very special care should be
devoted to it. Plants ought not to be
wet until they need it,. 1t will be evil
dent that they require wetting if on TAX
ing the earth from the pot it crumbles
to pieces like dust; Il sure sign is to
knock on the side of the pot, near the
middle, with the finger knuckle. Ifit
gives forth hollow ring the plant
needs water; if there is dull sound
there is still moisture enou ,h to sustain
the plant Plants must not be wet more
than once or twice a day; on dry, clear
days they require more water than on
damp, cloudy days. On the other hand,
the earth must not be allowed to dry
out entirely, for that is also very injuri-
Gus, In wetting them the water must
be poured on in such way that it will
run out again through the hole i'll the
bottom of the pot. If the earth gets too
dry it is best to place the pot in water
so that the water will saturate the dirt
very gradually. They may be watered
at any hour of the day, except when the
sun is shining on the pot or has just left
it; for the earth gets hot when the sun
shines on it, and then, if cold water is
poured on it. it will cool off too rapidly.
The best time for watering flowers in
summer is in the evening, and in winter
noon is best. Well water should never
be used, but always use either rain Wa
ter or brook Water.-Neuste Frindung.

Irish Wit.

Senator Jones, of Florida, who is Irish
born, frequently says witty things in debate.
A few days since, in the tariff discussion,
the senator admitted that he was free
trader, but wanted protective duties on to-
bacco and other Florida products, iustifying
himSelf by quoting Cowper's lines about the
bad boys who urged good boy to rob an
old mans orchard. The good boy remon-
strates; the bad ones insist. The apples
we'll have: AEA p 25 'S+&
eff you will go with us you shall have a
share,
If not, you shall have neither apple nor pear
They spoke; and Tom pondered-T see they

Poor mani What pity to injure him sol
Poor man! would save him his fruit If
could,
But staying behind will do him no good.

His apples might hang till they dropped
from the tree,
But since they will take them, think will

Potash a Remedy Against Insects.

An experienced gardener. among 9th
er ms ecticides, recommends the Use o.
potash in the greenhouse as providing 2
remedy against most insects, and also
fertilizing the plants. He says, Il use
it for cleaning the g!ass, swi!ling all woot
and brick work everywhere inside, ant
find it useful both for cleansing and as
all insecticide; and | think it is a good
dressing for the soil. | have used it al
strong as one ounce to the gallon Of va.
ter for Swinging glass over plants, and
1t has not injured the leaves; on the con
trary, im proved them. However, !
would not advise its use in this way care
lessly; but used as | have described, il
gets into every crack and crevice, deal.
ing certain death to the insect tribe.
would strongly advise all who have MOI
had thorough experience Of the diff.
ferent kinds recommended to be very
cautious in their use of insecticides and
note carefully their results, as many are
more dangerous than useful. Parattine,
for instance, when applied to plants in
any form whatever, kills the insects; but
how often does it close the pores of the
leaves and make the plants unhealthy,
and, as consequence, more liable to tu-
ture attack from insect pests"

Household Recipes

A remedy for Group and similar trou-
bles. The following is sent by lady
correspondent who confidently recon-
mends II from experience: Apply, from
the throat downward, flannel bag filled
with poultice made of faxseed mea
with hot rum. When the bag is remov-
ed in the morning its place should be
supplied by dry, warm piece Flannel
to prevent taking cold. In most cases
almost instantaneous relief will follow
the application.
BuckWheat cakes with Indian meal
added are recommended as q pleasant
change from the plain buckwheat. To
one pound of buckwheat -four allow
meal before weighing); before wetting
small cup of fresh, lively yeast should be
mixed with water. Make a batter Of
the usual consistency. Mix the batter
about nine O'Clock in the evening; place
it where it will be warm enough to rise
slowly. If too thick in the morning to
drop easily from the spoon, thin the bat
ter with little warm water. II to thin,
stir i'll little more buckwheat flour,
TREATMENT FOR A CoLD.-Dr. Graham,
and English physician, says: "When
you come out of a very cold atmosphere,
you should not 60 at first into room
that has fire i'll it, or if you can't avoid
that, you should keep for considerable
time at as great distance as possible,
and. above all, refrain from taking warm
or strong liquors when you are cold"
This rule is founded Oh the same princi-
body when frost bitten. If it were
brought to the fire it would soon morti.
fy, whereas, if rubbed with SHOW, no bad
consequences follow from it. Hence. if
the following rule was strictly observed
wi hen the whole body or any part OF
it is chilled, bring it to its natural feel
ing and warmth by degrees-the fire,
quent colds we experience in winter
would in great measure be prevented.

Seed Potatoes,

4 writer i'll the Massachusetts Plough
man, relating his experiments with seed
potatoes says: For quite number of
years have experimental with cut and
uncut potatoes, with results invariably
in favor of uncut seed. Another expert
ment that have tried is with medium
sized potatoes, and thus far am inclined
to think l have obtained better results
than with very large or very small seed.
The potato in the early stages of its
growth depends entirely upon the juices
contained in the tube for the nourish-
ment. The medium-sized potato, as all
will attest, is superior to very large po-
tatoes for table use, for the reason that
it is a pt to be more thoroughly ,matured.
] have found that such II potatoe will
send up large and stronger stock. In
very hot or dry season it sometimes
happens that potatoes that are cat fail
to come up evenly if they are not plant
ed Just deep enough. In my experience
of some twenty-five years my potatoes,
when planted whole, have never failed
to come up. When cut they have some
times failed to put in an appearance.
When planted whole the stock is larger
and they have more vigorous growth,
and consequently a larger crop, than
when cut; and, finally, whole seed has
invariably given me more large and less
small potatoes"

med to kill her # she made any outcry.
The rui!ians succeeded in getting $23. About
three hours after the robbery. about mid.
night, the barn OF Mr.. Ira +. French, three
miles distant, was burned. Evidently the
barn was fired by the same ruttians, with
the idea of drawing the inmates from the
dwelling for the purpose of pillage; but
the family, supposing some evil design,
remained in doors. All efforts to secure
the rascals have as yet been unavailing.

lar Cry,
The killing OF K

With q desire 10 feel the popular pulse
IN the matter of the killing of Dukes by
young Mutt, so fully detailed in yesterdays
issue of the REGISTER, a reporter started
out last evening on an interviewing ex-
petition. The first man he met was q
stalwart Councilman from the East End.
In answer to a query as to how he regarded
the killing, he said:
ats q good thing. The scoundrel ought
10 have been burned at the stake long ago,
and the fact that a Fayette county jury
should aquit him in the first place and
then that no one could be found with sand
enough to remove him afterward, leaving
that duty to deyolve upon a member OF
Capt. Nuts family, is a d-n poor showing
for the county. The shooting Is a credita.
pie thing for the boy to do, but it doesn't
remove the stain from the people at large.
"You bet | approve it," said a State
House official. II am not in favor OF
shooting folks as q general thing, bat
Dukes ought to have been legally got rid
as long ago, and as he wasn't, yonng Nuts
act was probably the next best thing. The
law will never modest him for 1t, either.
| don't believe a jury could be found ln
the entire State of Pennsylvania that would
vote to convict him."
81 looked for some one to put q bullet
in him Just after the trial." said a Twelfth
street clothier, "but as time slipped by and
nothing was done, l came to the conclu-
sion that the necessary amount OF pluck
was wanting, and | was consequently con-
siderably surprised when | picked up the
REGISTER and saw the news. The only bad
thing about it that | can see is the people
of the town standing back and letting the
boy avenge his fathers death"
An old time member of tbs Board OF
Commissioners didn't like to approve OF
a mans being sho: down in the public
streets" but at the same time he thought
| il was only an "off.hand way OF admins
tering Justice" Dukes certainly deserved
death, and as the law failed to meet out
punishment for his crime, it was inflicted,
when least expected, by the boyish Off
spring OF his victim.
~ see one of our city papers sort Of dis
| approves the shooting" said a city official,
but, thank goodness it is without PopG'
lar support in the sand it has taken.
Ninety.nine out of every hundred people
| approve Nuts act in aveaging his fathers
death andhis sisters wounded honor, and
| hope he will be promptly set at liberty.
Many other citizens were sounded IN re-
gard 10 the matter, and almost without eN,
ception they endorsed the shooting, and
were glad Dukes presence no longer cum
bered the earth.
