The friends OF Attorney General Gar
land In defending his course have real
ly made HIS case look worse for him.
1t now appears that instead OF one mil
lion he o wns 0 million and half dol.
lars In stock Of telephone companies
| that are disputing the patents OF the
Bell Company. But this is not the
worst Of 1t. All this seems to have
been donated to him, as Mr.. j. w
Rogers, the party most interested, says
With the understanding that he and
other prominent persons associated with
us should assist In monetixlng some
twenty-five patents belonging to my
son." This quotation will be more
fully understood when we say that thi,
j. w. Rogers referred to, attorney for
bis son, j. Harris Rogers, the alleged
inventor of The National Secret Tele-
phone" and of the " Pan. Electric Tele-
phone" systems that have brought the
present pending suit against the Bell
Telephone Company.
That there may be no mistake as to
how General Garland came
by his million and half of stock, we
still farther quote Mr.. Rogers: Three
years ago donated to Mr.. Garland
$500, 900 stock In the original Pan Elec-
trio Company, which carries with it
$500, 600 In the Pan Electric Telegraph
and $500, 900 in tho Pan. Electric Tele-
phone, making in all 81, 800, 600 stock in
the company" Then comes the ex-
PLANTATION of Mr.. Rogers stating for
what purpose this stock was subscribed
aud which we have already quoted.
This beats the most pslmy days OF the
Credit Mobillier. Mr.. Garland is pre-
sented with 81, 500, 600 in stock with
the understanding that he was to use
his Influence to break down the Bell
Telephone. Mr.. Rogers throws still
more light upon the subject when he
says that soon after Mr.. Garland's
promotion to the Office Of Attorney
General, applied to him TO move
against the Bell Telephone Company,
but he declined doing 80" Mi. rogers
then began to complain Of the Attorney
General, and in his own language said;
" Mr. Garland being indebted to me
no. only for his 81 500, 900 stock, but
for my efforts in getting him appointed
Attorney General, began to feel that
he was not inclined to reciprocate the
favors | had done him."
Mr.. Garland's hesitancy to bring
suit seems to have been finally over
come by persuading him to permit his
Assistant Attorney General, Mr.. Goode,
10 bring suit on The National I'm.
proved Telephone Company" small
corporation founded by several of Mr..
Rogers sons earlier patents, which
would be the same as bringing suit in
the anne Of the companies In which Mr..
Garland WAS pecuniarily interested. -
Mr.. Garland seems to have acceded to
this request and hence the pending
suit. II Mr.. Garland Is the man with
the high sense Of honor that he is claim.

Ingenious Method of Raising Funds.

In the Pittsfeld district court recently.
Edward G. Hubbard, a young married man
and Canadian by birth, was sent to jail in
default in 5000 sureties for obtaining money
under false pIetcnces At Housatonic, July
l6, he called on Stephen Vincent, formerly of
Canada, and told him he was deputy recorder
in the employ of the Canadian government;
that Moses Vincent, an uncle of Stephen, had
died and left % acres of land and 800 in
money for him. He produced papers that
seemed all right, was apparently ac-
quanted with facts in the history
Of the alleged deceased uncle, and got from
Stephen $3.50 for the expenses of an affidavit
and recording. In West Stockbrdge, Aug. 26,
he got the same amount from Richard Bis
sett on the same pretences, and in the trial it
same out that there are several other cases
yet to be brought into court. Hubbard stated
that he was one OF a gang, the leaders of which
were Canadian lawyer named MERCER and
another named Trudo, son OF a wealthy Mon
treal merchant who had headquarters in Bos.
ton, and had lists OF Canadians in manufactur.
ing places who had relatives in Canada; that

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Drying OF Gazing Cows.

II cows are not properly dried off,
milk in considerable amount is al
owed to collect and remain in the
adder after ceasing to milk regularly
here is great danger from permanent
obstruction of the milk flow in future.
In drying off cows ii is well to skip
milking few times before ceasing en-
tirely. If the quantity seereted is not
large nature may be able to take care
Of it by absorbing it again into the
system, but if the flow is large the alb
sorbing vessels are unable to dispose
of the excess and the milk then be-
comes as foreign substance to be dis
posed of in the next best way not to
endanger the life of the animal. The
milk may become cheesey and the
cheesey matter may fill the milk ducts
and permanently close them to the
flow of milk. 1t is good rule to milk
a drying up COW just often enough to
keep the milk ducts free from clotted
milk. AS calving time approaches
extra care should be taken at this sea-
son to see that the udder does not be-
come too much crowded with milk

Aeronauts Steer a Balloon to All
Points of the Compass.
The new born science of balloon navigation
has advanced another step. There is no longer
room to doubt that, given certain favorable
atmospheric conditions balloons may be guided
for time as easily as bicycles. Cerebs and
Renard, the Tisander brothers, and the late
FredIick Cover, had all obtained partial
successes in steering their air ships, while A.
M. Clarin de Ia Rive, mailing from Burgundy,
has just completed an aerostat, which he claims
will be infinitely more manageable and prac-
tcable than anything yet invented. Thou
sands OF people congregated on the banks Of
the Seine at Mendon recently to watch the
trial trips made by Capt. Renard and his
brother from the camp of Chalais. On
the afternoon OF two days their balloon rose
suddenly in midair, and, after remaining
motionless for short time, sailed successive
ly toward the east, west, north and south, and
finally took its course steadily toward the
Point du Jour, about three miles from The
starting point. where the balloon, descending,
slightly paused again, then INCREASINGLY obey

OF Chalas, where it descended The war Of
flee authorities, who authorized the trials, seem
satisfied that the problem has been solved.
But experts say that the cost of working Capt
Renard's balloon is still prohibitve, while,
even al the enormous cost it cannot be con-
trolled for a long interval of time.

The Treatment OF Sod in the Fall.

The Treatment of Sod in the Fall.
In the ordinary rotation of the farm,
sod land is usually plowed for corn.
Opinions differ in regard to the advan-
tage, or otherwise, of the fall blowing
of sod. The truth of the matter is,
that like all other farm work, this de-
ponds very much upon circumstances.
One OF these is, the manner in which
the blowing is done. If the dry, bare
sod is plowed under thoroughly, and
so left until spring when it is cross
plowcd and the sod cut up into pieces,
and turned this way and that, and for
the greater part reversed, the work had
certainly been better left undone. This
way of treating sod, too common, we
are sorry to say, is a most mischievous
one, and leaves the land in wretched
plight for corn planting. The better
way is. to spread what manure is
ready for the land, and leave it until
November, and then turn the whole
under with an even and regular lap
furrow. If-this is well done it leaves
the soil in the very best condition for
spring work. The furrow slices lie
with the manure between them, while
the manure is not buried under the
sod, but both standing, in part, on
edge, allow the air to permeate through
the crevices, and cause thorough de-
composition. The crests of the ridges
break down by the action of frosts,
and the land is gradually consolidated
by settlement, through the winter.
When the harrow is passed over the
land in the spring, the fine manure,
and the soil, and the decayed sod, are
thoroughly mixed on the surface, leav-
ing a mass of plant food below, as
deep as the land has been plowed. The
roots of the young corn plants find
food wherever they penetrate the soil,
and an abundance of it within reach
to carry them to the end of the grow
ing season. In the culture of every
crop, very much depends upon the
preparation of the soil, but this is
most especially true as regards corn,
which occupies the ground for only
about three months. How necessary
then it is, to provide store of food
for this crop, of the right kind in the
right place, and in sufficient quantity
to supply its urgent necessities. One
of the most effective ways Of making
this requisite provision. is to make the
most of the sod by treating it at this
season in the manner here described.

Stocking With sheep for Winter.

StOcnIhE w IhNCTs
The season of autumnal droughts
and short pasturage always brings lots
of sheep apon the market, which their
owners conclude not to winter, and
that may very often be probably
bought. Sheep of good constitution,
with good teeth, and healthy, may be
safely bought, if one has feed for them
which he wishes to convert into ma
nure in the easiest and cheapest way.
For instance, q large oat-grower has
straw which will carry quite flock
through the season. If he buys
ewes that have had lambs this year,
and has them served early, by a long
wool or Down ram; though thin now,
they will rapidly pick up and probably
give him one hundred and twenty-five
per cent. of lambs. OF course, such
ewes will need some grain: all the
more, if wheat straw instead of oat is
their principal fodder We have known
lambs to bring in the spring double
and triple what was paid for the ewes,
while the ewes were worth fully as
much as they cost, and the manure as
much more. This is hardly the usual
experience, but under advantageous
circumstances, the experiment is well
worth trying, recollecting that October
service brings February lambs, which,
if well pushed forward, may be in the
market by the first to the middle of
May. Earlier service will, of course,
bring earlier lambs and greater profit.
