Serious Runaway Accident.

Last Thursday afternoon Post & Van
Arsdale's horse ran away with sleigh
in which was Adrian Johnson and Miss
Mason, both Icing thrown out near the
residence of A. P. McKlnnon, Mr.. John
son being thrown against the horse blosk
in front of Mr.. McKinROn's house and
his right leg broker above the knee.
Miss Mason was more fortunate, being
landed In snow bank and not seriously
injured. Mr.. Johnson was taken to DR..
Hills residence, where he boards, and
DR.. Il. A. Perrin was called and set the
broken limb.
The harness giving way caused the
horse to become unmanageabIe, and he
started off at lively gait. The cutter
was completely demoralizedy the iron on
the runners being about all that was
left of value. After the smash up the
horse crossed the bridge at John f. Me
, Donald's, the shafts flying up in the air
and coming down at every jump, increas-
ing the terror Of the horse. When near
J0hn Heaphy's place he got rid or the
shafts, and was stopped near Adolphus
Paquin's place.
Mr.. Post says all he regrets is that it
was not the horses leg that vas broken
instead OF Mr.. Johnson's, so that the
horse would had to have been shot. Mr..
johnson had hitched the horse in the
cutter for Mrs. Post and sister to take
ride and drove him around to Mr.. Posts
residence for them to get in, bat owing
to some lady friends calling upon them
they could not 60 at the time, which, as
after events showed, was very fortunate
for them. Mr.. johnson is doing as we'll
as could be expected under the circum-
stances.

will not I'll well. but make what are
called pops" Bed up the land about
the first of March, in low beds about
two and half or three feet apart. If
you want to get prompt and regular
stand, shell the peas, but be careful
not to break the thin film that covers
the clean peas. Open the beds with
a small pillow, as if Tor cotton, drop two
peas in place about two and half
feet along the row, and cover about
two inches 10 depth. This should be
done about the time for planting the
main crop Of common corn, or little
later. After the plants have come up,
missing places may be filled by draw
ing out plants where there are two in
place, and transplanting. Cultivate
as for cotton, the main object being to
keep the ground. clean until the peas
have taken possession. After the long
limbs have formed and commence to
leaf on the surface of the ground, they
should be disturbed as little as possible.
If you will observe closely you will
find that the little nuts begin to form
from the joints of these surface>branches
and soon dip down into the surface,
where they develop into full.grown
nuts. ANY disturbance which removes
them from their burrows, will prevent
their perfect development.
Just before frost is expected is the
time to gather the crop. Loosen
the hold of the stem branches by run
ming under them with wing-sweep,
lift the plants carefully with a fork
and turn them over to cure. After
one or two days sun the vines may be
removed to the stack or barn, and the
nuts picked off by hand at leisure, or
they may be removed from the vines
before housing and spread in sunny,
airy place to dry perfectly, but not
exposed to frost.
Acid phosphate with potash, or
ashes, constitute an excellent manure
for peanuts. On sandy land, lime will
generally be needed to insure a good
yield and perfect pods. r.

possession of all the wheat he can,
making contracts with large numbers
to deliver in one month also. By
getting the control of these contracts
he compels the seller to come to him
for the wheat which is sup
posed to be delivered. AS he fixes
the price at 95 cents the sellers must
pay him 5 cents per bushel or fail to
deliver, and after the month has ex-
pired and he has "fleeced" the shorts,
as the delivery gamblers are styled,
the market prices fall to their origi-
nal figures. Sometimes millions of
bushels are thus gambled and the
transactions become so large as to
place the entire produce in the hands
of a few, the control of such quanti-
ties being known as corner"
While the law does not tolerate a
game of betting on faro, poker, or
other forms of gambling, yet the far
mers of this country, who do not
gamble, are fleeced indirectly of mil
lions of dollars through the specu-
lators. And yet no one has dared to
modest them, as they have become
too wealthy and powerful. They are
lawful highwaymen, who have the
privilege of doing in wholesale
manner that which would consign a
retail operator to prison. Until the
evil is stopped there will be no end

Something About Corners.

Farm, Field and Stockman.
Our honest farmer friends who
have long labored under the impress
sion that all sales are made by actual
delivery of the articles sold have
much to lealn in regard to some
transactions to which they are stran-
gers, and which are somewhat out
side of the usual business methods.
What is called a "corner" is sim
ply one set of gamblers endeavoring
to prevent another body from fulfill
ing their obligations. In ordinary
business transactions the creditor is
only too happy to give the debtor an
opportunity to pay the debts due the
creditor, but with transactions on
change. 1.-THE case is very different, for
just what the creditor then desires is
that the debtor be utterly unable to
pay anything. No goods are handled
atall. 1t is simply bet between
two parties, one betting that he can
deliver so many bushels of grain, or
gold or stocks at a fixed time, and
the other party betting that he can
not do so.
To make it plain, some Spectator
goes into the market and offers 1000
bushels of wheat for sale, which he
promises to deliver in one month, or
at some future time agreed upon.
New, the speculator has not single
bushel of grain, but he offers it at a
certain price, say 80 cents bushel.
He is made to give some kind of Sc
curity for his fulfilment, such as a
deposit of a sufficient sum to pay the
difference, should wheat fall in price.
Thus if he offers wheat at 80 cents,
and deposits 5 cents for a fall on each
bushels, should wheat get down to
50 ceuts he must deposit more, in
order to save his first deposit. What
he is really trying to do, however, is
to sell 10000 bushels of wheat at 80
cents, to be delivered in one month.
At the end of the month, should
wheat fall to IS cents, he does not
have to deliver it, but simply walks
up and pockets the difference in price
8 cents-and during this time he
has not handled an ounce of wheat in
any shape.
I'm the meantime the other gambler
goes to work. He does not desire the
wheat to be delivered, on paper, at
80 cents. So he goes to work to get
