City and Country Life.

To country lads and lassies come
many comforts and many pleasures de-
MED to jewellers in towns. Not least OF
these is leisure for social intercourse, for
mental Improvement by reading and
study. and for frolic. In the country
the idea is quite generally held that city
folk have time and money to give for
the enjoyment of lectures, concerts, and
other entertainments; but more than
half the farmers boys and girls have
more leisure, more money. and more
liberty for enjoyment than have the ma
jority of the workers in towns.
Amusements and lectures cost more
money than the majority of city folk can
afford to pay, even if they could spare
time to attend. The hearty, healthful

in the country spend the leisure Of their
winter DAYS and evenings are, and must

The Iowa ProhibitOry Amendment De.
clared Invalid.

Dies MONIES, January Is.
The Prohibitory amendment to the Constitu.
ton adopted by the popular vote last June
was declared to be invalid by the Supreme
Court to-day, Judge Sewers rendering the
opinion. The case was entitled Koehler &
Lang vs. Hill, from Davenport. The plain
tiffs sued Hill for the value of beer sold HIM.
Hill admitted the debt, but pleaded
that the Constitutional amendment for.
babe the sale Of beer, wine and ale.
and claimed exemption from the debt
The plaintiffs amended their petition.
by declaring that the amendment was not 10
force, the record Of the House of the
Eighteenth Assembly failing to show that II
had passed, and that the House measure diff.
fered from the amendment as passed by the
Senate in form and substance; further thai
subsequent action in the Nineteenth Assem-
bly, did not and could not cure the careless.
ness of the Eighteenth Assembly.
The C; uss was tried by Judge Hayes al
Davenport, who gave a verdict for the plain
tin for the amount claimed and declared the
amendment not in operation.
The opinion rendered is very long and re-
views fully the case and all the authorities
bearing thereon. Many collateral issues were
raised in the lower court, but have been
dropped as immaterial. Judge Sewers says
that while it is true enrolled bills are land
marks of evidence, yet inasmuch as the Iowa
Constitution does not require amendments to
the Constitution to be enrolled as laws are the
Legislative journals in this State are equally
competent as evidence as to the constitutional
provisions as enrolled bills. In the case at the
bar the journal of the House of the Eighteenth
Assembly does not show that the amendment
was passed, and also that it varied in form and
hat fro1, No. to- -
This being the case. the next Legislature could
not cOrrecta-t the mistakes of its predecessor,
and the amendment falls.
The dissent of Judge Beck is longer than
view ABOVE. and saws, in p addition. that, mas
much as the people had elected the members
of the Nineteenth Assembly on the issue of
the amendment, they themselves had cured
the irregularities of the Eighteenth Assembly.
Judge Beck also declares the uchrmooted
short publication of the Oskaloosa paper to
have been substantial compliance with the
laws. ~ - "a

Four Hundred Persons Burned to Death.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Russia. January IA.
During performance yesterday at the cir.
Gus I'm Berditcheff, Russian Poland, a fire broke
out, and before the operators could escape the
whole structure was ablaze. Three hundred
persons persisted.
JANUARY 15
The fire broke out towards the end of the
performance. and was caused by the careless
handling of fireworks on the stage. The cur.
tain ignited and the flames quickly spread to
the walls and roof. The members of the or.
chestra were the first victims. The audience,
numbering 500 persons, rushed to the front
door, but it opened inwards, and as the crowd
pressed forward it could not be opened. A
rush was then made to the two side doors, both
of which were nailed up, thus compelling the
people to take to the windows, from which
many sprang into the streets with their clothes
a sheet Of flame. The fire brigade arrived
within half an hour, but it was impossible to
extinguish the flames, as the water in the tanks
was frozen.
The fire lasted TWO hours Eye-witnesses
state that when the doors were finally opened
a mass of burning persons was visible within.
The horses and properties of the circus were
all destroyed. The ice broke while the fire
brigade was crossing the river, thus prevent
ing them reaching the fire more promptly. 1t
is estimated that ninety men. one hundred
and twenty women and sixty children lost
their lives. The victims include Colonel of
Police and the VicePresident of the Berdit-
chef Bourse. The audience consisted mainly
of Jews.
Another account says the fire was caused "
groom having thrown a lighted cigarette on
the straw in the stables, setting it on fire. An
other groom tried &c stamp out the fire. but a
strong draught famed The flames and caused
ished, also two clowns, believed to be English
men.
Yesterday man whose wife and three chill
dren were among the victims stabbed the
senior member of the Merchants Guild in the
street. and then tried to cut his own throat.
The supposed murdered man abandoned the
ASSISTANTS wife and children in order to effect
bis own escape from the burning building.
The circus was a.wooden structure. Horses
running about wildly increased the confusion.
A still later account saws four hundred per-
.ons were suffocated, crushed or burned to
death.

Exterminating NoxiOus Weeds.

From my experience during the past 10
davs, the thought occurs to my mind that
many, very many, good farms are pestered
BY variety of noxious weeds which are not
only unpleasant 10 look upon. but are 6ecid-
edlv Improbable when the question of dol
lars ard cents is considered. Moving lands,
in a measure. seem TO be out of our control
as far as weeds are concerned, because hand
pulling, which is AZ once slow and laborious,
must be the chief means of extermination,
But some of this must be done if we would
rid our fields of that uuwelcome visitor, dock
MANY in a very slovenly manner wait till the
Arass is cut and then pick out the seed stalks,
perhaps to be thrown into some gutter, from
which the seeds may again be distributed by
water, birds, etc, the root being left in the
ground To produce next years crop. War
should be waged against this weed by hand
pulling when the ground is moist, and il good.
reliable hands are employed, but little will
be left TO trouble the following year. Col
lect in one large pile and burn. unless buried
in hole at least 25 feet deep, Although this
is very busy time of year, there is but lii
tie work that will pay better. There is
scarcely purchaser of hay who is willing 10
accept of an article full of fowl weeds, and
it would be safe to conjecture that many
farmer would save enough on the extra value

on his farm two times over. 1t is not too
late to attend to this matter, now, as bu, few
have as vet commenced To secure the new
hay crop. Try il and let us know whether
it has paid you.
Another troublesome weed is the ox-eve
daisy and how to dispose of it must be prob
lem to most farmers. Where there are but
few, many good farmers have kept the start
by hand-pulling, but this method is not prac-
teal in a majority of cases. High cultivation
seems to work as well as any way, for grass
comes forward early and many times may be
cut before the seed is sufficiently mature to
germinate With this treatment, adopt the
practice of forking over the manure pile
many times, so that whatever seed there ma,
be may become sprouted from the successive
hea,ings piece OF thoroughly worn out
pasture land, stocked with daisy to the fullest
extent, was broken up, decomposed muck
and ashes applied, and the land planted with
potatoes. The following year it was thorough
ly plowed, and 500 pounds OF crushed bone
to the acre applied, and seeded TO mllet and
a variety of grasses. No daisies appeared
for some years, and at the present time only
a few scattering ones can be seen. Perhaps
the whole question of eradicating foul weeds
may be said to depend entirely upon the
thoroughness of the tillage we give our farms.
In other words, the sooner we enter npon
high farming, the sooner will the road 10
success be opened to us.-Cor. " T.. Home

Green Corn for Pigs.

In the summer and early fall feeding Q;
pigs, we have found sweet corn one of the
best and most convenient kinds of fodder
Pork is made to the best advantage putting
the pigs, as soon as they are weaned from the
sow and have learned to eat milk and meal
into the pen, and keeping them there under
full feed until they are ready for slaughter in
November or December. With good breed
of swine there is no difficulty in making
March pigs weigh from two hundred and fly
TO three hundred lbs, at eight or nine months
old. With plenty of Indian meal and
skinned milk they will grow rapidly until
the corn is large enough for cutting About
the first of August, this should be given as
an additional ration. The pigs will eat the
green stalks and leaves with the greatest
relish after the ears have been plucked. 1t
is an excellent appetizer, helps the digestion
Of more solid food, and promotes the thrift of
the animals. Field corn may not be quite
SO nutritious, but no better use can be made
of that, alter the ears are in milk. than to cut
and feed it to fsttening swine 1t costs much
less to make pork in summer than in cold
winter weather.
