boy was killed first and does away with the
theory that the murder was committed for
the purpose Of robbing him.. The case pos

it would seem as If all efforts t. discover the
perpetrators of the deed would be futile.

WAUsAU, Wis, May 4.-This morningJohn
Paulus, u farmer living about two miles east
of here, found the charrcd body Of a IH:n
lying in a brush heap which ne WAS burning
on his farm and which he had set on fire last
night. The body was burned beyond all
recognition. Carl Tescb, keeper OF the poor
farm, recognized the shoes as belonging TO .
pauper named Ernest Perren, who had left
the poor-house the day previous. At first is
was thought that Perrcn, who was weak
mineded, had wandered around and, finding
the burning brush heap, had sat down on q
log and fallen in and been burned to death.
A post-mortem and inquest vas held tsday.
The doctors evidence went to show that
Perren was dead before being put on the fire,
and the Jury brought In a verdict that de-
ceased had come to his death fr m v~iolnece
al the hands Of unknown parties. No cause
can be assigned for the murder Of this unof-
Tending pauper.

We'll Done.

NEW YORK, May I-Commenting upon the
selection OF NJ. w. Fuller for chief Justice the
various morning papers say:
sun: "Thc republic is opportunity" These
were the opening words OF a speech delivered
a week ago tonight at a banquet at Chicago
in honor OF the birthday of Stephen A. Doug
las. The speaker was Melville w. Fuller. la
Mr., Fullcr's case the republic certainly is OPP
por,unity.
Herald: From what We learn the appoint
ment OF Mr.. Fuller is a good one.
Star: We think it required good politics,
wise administration, high courage aud indie
pendent thought to nominate Mr.. Fuller.
Tribune: The first feeling OF the country
will no doubt be one OF disappointment that
the new chief justice If under the historic
size. But If he has the learning aud abilities
demanded by the post they will soon win rec
ognition, and none will be quicker to give it
than the public opponents Of the admiristra-
ton which selected him.
World; Mr.. Fuller seems to be very highly
spoken of by his ncighbors.

CORN.

The corn plant has two sets of roots
The first to start are the tap RUNNING
downward to give stability to the plant
ia it's early stages, and to seek deem
for moisture later in the season when
dry weather sets in. Later on roots
start from all sides of the plant near
the surface of the ground, spreading
out in a lateral direction. These brace
the plant, keeping it in position, while
at the same time they furnish such
nourishment as they may be able to
abstract from the finely pulverized
soil. Early cultivation with the har.
row, therefore, does no harm to the
corn. The harrow may be put on
even before the germ sprouts appear
above the surface, and it's use may be
continued until the plants are three or
four inches high. There is no disturb.
ance of corn roots, but the growth of
the weeds is checked. Frequent har-
rowings thus destroy the weeds, as
the minute seeds germinate at lesser
depths. But when the corn becomes
large, deep culture by the shovel plow
or cultivator, care should be taken
lest they run too deep and sever the
surface roots, the effect of which is to
retard the growth of the top while
nature repairs the mischief done be-
low. This applies more especially to
the Northwest, where the corn season
is short, and is every bit needed for
the maturity of the crop. It also ap-
plies to the higher soils of the East,
where all the strength Of the soil is
required to produce a good crop. In
the deeper, richer soils of the corn belt
proper this care about severe root
pruning is less necessary. Indeed,
there are localities where, perhaps,
root pruning is an advantage, as it
cuts short a rank growth of stalk that
may carry the maturing of the ear into
the frost period and thus %jeopardize
the crop. The same may apply to
localities outside the region mentioned.
This merely shows, however, that the
farmer must study his soil and other
surroundings, and adapt his methods
thereto. AS a general rule though, in
u part of the country, we are salts
fed that level surface culture is the
best for corn.-COtton Plant.

KEEPING ONIONS.

Joseph Harrison says: "There are
many ways of keeping good, sound,
ripe, dry onions. The great point is
to keep them dry. But you must rec
ollect that even a ripe, dry onion CON
tains at least eighty per cent. of water,
and when a large mass of them are
kept together they are liable to sweat, ;
and the skins and tops become damp;
and if the temperature is above freez-
ing they will throw out roots and
commence to grow, just as they would
in the damp soil. If it is necessary to
keep them in a large mass, put them
in a dry place, such as a shed or barn:
then they will freeze solid, and STAY
frozen till wanted in the spring. They
must be well covered to keep them
from thawing, and you should avoid
pstting them in a barn with a base
ment underneath, where horses, cattle,
sheep or hogs are kept, as the warmth
from the animals might thaw them
out. We have kept them perfectly on
the east side of a north and south
wall, where the snow drifts several
feet high and remains till spring.
They were simply covered with orn
stalks and leaves"
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1888-07-10

Knowing it is the practice of feed
ers to put hogs after steers, to eat
waste corn in the droppings, it was
deemed advisable to make an effort to
find what addition to the income from
feeding steers can be had by this
method Of feeding.
Nine lean sows, from which the
pigs had been weaned, were purchased
for this purpose, and fed a few weeks
to get them into condition for a fair
trial. At the time the trial began
they weighed about 100 pounds each,
having gained about 80 pounds
apiece after purchasing, and before
the trial began. Three of these hogs
were placed with each lot of steers,
and three in a pen by themselves.
Each lot received all the shelled corn
and water necessary for good growth.
Enormously fearing that one of the
sows with the steers was with pig, she
was put out of the experiment at the
close of the first trial, and one from
the lot in the hog house substituted.
This left but two hogs in the hog
house during the second trial.
We have a result of these trials
thus: Hogs with steers getting shelled
corn required 272 pounds shelled corn
additional for 100 pounds pork.
Hogs with steers getting corn meal
required 479 pounds shelled corr ad-
ditionally for 100 pork. Hogs in pens
by themselves required 564 pounds
shelled corn for 100 pounds pork.
This shows a saving in feed by having
the hogs run with the steers as follows:
So per cent. of the food saved on the
hogs running after the lot of steers
which were fed unground shelled corn,
and Is per cent. of feed saved on
those hogs which run with the steers
which were fed corn meal.-From Re-
port Of Wisconsin Agricultural Station.

FLOWS AND FLOWING.

Professor J. W. Sanborn, of the
Missouri State Agricultural College,
has issued a bulletin giving the results
of experiments made by him, in which
he shows that al blowing is usually
done there is a great loss of power, re-
sulting in either inferior work or over
taxing the team, from the improper
adjustment of plows with reference to
depth and width Of cut, improper adj
justment of harness, the use of Golfer
of any form, and the non-use of wheel
or truck under the end of the beam
to regulate the depth of furrow. The
tests of draught were all made with
the dying namometer, previously,
tested for it's correctness, and it's in
d1cations carefully noted, so that the
results arrived at can be accepted as
correct.
Most farm harness has an extension
of the hip straps with a loop at the
end, through which the traces pass to
hold the latter in place when the team
IS unhitched. This loop is about on a
direct line of the trace when the horses
are hitched to a farm wagon, but
when taken from the wagon and
hitched to the pillow, the doubletrees
are SO much lower than when on the
wagon as to cause an angle in the
trace from where it passes through
the supporting loop to the %wh1f1etree.
Such conditions, he found, caused a
serious increase of draught. The
least draught is found where the trace
extends in a direct line from it's attach
ment at the hame to the center of
draught in the pillow, when adjusted
to it's best depth for working.
The use of a Golfer of any kind also
added to the draught, while the use
of a wheel under the end of the beam
now fallen into disuse-lessened
materially the draught. Thus, as a
result of several tests, with and with
out the truck or wheel, the following
averages were reached: Average
draught per square inch of furrow
turned, with wheel on, 4.87; without,
5.55 pounds; per cent. Of draught
saved by use of wheel, AL. In the
test of Golfers, the old and the new
style knife and rolling cutters were
used, with the following result: Aver
age draught with Golfer on, per square
inch Of furrow turned, SIT pounds;
with Golfer off, 4.e9 pounds; loss by
use of Golfer in per cent, 1916 or
about the same as the gain by the use
of the wheel.-Southerm Yeomon.

OPPOSED TO ADMITTING HALF
WAY FARMERS.
DAVIDSON COLLEGE, N. c.,
June 6, 1888.

ooAS ", -
Mr.. EDIToR.-Dear Sr:-We have
now on our roll 81 of the best men i n
our neighborhood, with more appli-
cants on hand. We have recently
got in u business agent and cor
responding secretary. So you may
lookout to hear from us occasionally.
We have no female members now, but
L think they are coming; as for my
part, [ think that the ladies are best
suited to home affairs, but still if they
wish to join US, l shall not object.
OF course the Alliance meets with
great opposition in this section, there
being so many merchants; so many
who have always been making their
living off of the farmer. 1t grinds
them to the very gizzard to think of
the farmer coming to the front. But
amid all opposition, let us march up
ward and onward, with an eye single
to success Let US shut our eyes to
the dark days of the past and look
forward to the bright dawning of a
new day. We hold the key of sue
cess in our own hands, and if we
don't use it, it is our own fault;
so let us stick to it and not one time
say fail. | am opposed to Bro. Spicer's
suggestion as to admitting the half
way merchants. | know some of that
class who buy the very worst goods
and sell them to the farmer for the
very highest prices. I think we had
better. leave the halfway merchant
out of our order. Now if we have
two bites in the dish give him one ?
No, sir. Please reconsider, Bro.
Spicer, and come again.
The farming interest has been
greatly retarded by the recent rains.
We must have good seasons if we
make a good crop this year, there be-
ing such a sorry stand of cotton.
Corn is very small but is looking well
the last few days. We have plenty
of grass in neighborhood, and it
is not in meadows, either.
Wishing The PROGRESSIVE FARMER

fidelity to the cause, animates the en-
tire body.
Our secretary who so faithfully dis
charged his duty during the last term,
was reelected, and SO were all the
other officers, with the exception of
door keeper.
All the Offices in the organization
are filled by men who are willing to
make sacrifices for the good of the
order, and we are prepared to enter
upon a years work which we hope
will bring about a great change in the
condition of the affairs of the farmers.
At present, the accomplishment of
great good by the Alliance seems in
evitable.
All of the members are working to-
gether in harmony and good will, feel
ing confident that they will reap a
great benefit from it in the future.
The Alliance is composed of the
most intelligent farmers, in fact nearly
all of the intelligent farmers in our
section are members. They have be-
gun to realize the rue condition of
affairs, and see that something must
be done.
From the present prospect for a
crop, it seems that we will need the
good effects of the Alliance next year.
In our last communication we spoke
OF the gloomy prospect for a crop, and
am sorry to say that it is no brighter
now. The wheat crop, which has just
been harvested, is unusually sorry.
The corn crop, which is about "laid
by" is looking very well. Tobacco,
as a general thing, is late and looks
very bad, but there is a chance for it
to come out and do we'll yet; and that
we hope it will do. J. w. G..
