Did Shakespeare Write Bacon.

With regard to the Donnelly boom
my own impression has always been
that Bacon's works were written by
Shakespeare. Bacon was a smart
university man and a successful law
yer. who really cared for nothing but
guineas, but had weakness for pos
ing in fashionabl BILE drawing-rooms as
a debater and a man of letters. Bar
risters and judges are much atfi lcted
in this way. As young man about
town Bacon fell in with Shakespeare,
who was then playing minor parts at
the Blackfriars Theater and was
desperately hard up. Bacon took adj
vantage of the last circumstance with
that unscrupulousness which marked
his whole career and paid Shakes
peare to write the various works which
were published under Bacon's name.
There are many indications in Shakes
peare's latter plays OF the remorse
which he felt for his share in this
fraud, and / have reason to suspect
that the mysterious poem ''The Phoenix
and the Turtle really walls a confess
sion of the whole plot. -Londo's

Growing Fodder Corn.

Many farmers do not attach as
much value TO fodder corn as it is
entitled to. When cut early and
properly cured, it is a valuable fod-
der. and is. year by year, becoming
more highly valued, especially in the
Middle and Eastern States. where
many farmers plant piece especial
ly to cut for fodder The practice OF
sowing it broadcast has been ADAM
doned largely. and now most farm
ers sow it in drills, though some
plant in hills. and / like this method
best planting sixteen to thirty six
inches apart. When planted in this
way believe it is of more value than
when it is planted thicker, as it will
have more nubbins on it. Ny method
Of raising this crop is to plow and
harrow thoroughly a piece of ground
about the first of June, and mark the
rows off three feet apart; then. with
the Macomber hand planter. the seed
is quickly and well put in. With one

to Rulers of the Church.
The Popes did not always wear the
three-crown tiara. At first they wore
an ordinary inter with one crown
around it, then a second one was
added to it, and then third, when it
took the name of triregno three
kingdoms). This explains why some-
times the simple inter is used and
sometimes called triregno.
We read of the form and splendor
of the pontfcal miters in pontifical
inventories. Some of them weighed
as much as ten pounds, or even more;
they were decorated with canoes and
stones, inlaid with figures, rings, and
precious ornaments. fastened to the
miter like dropping pearls, crosses.
and every other kind of jewel
then known. In 1419 Eugene
w had inter made in France by
Lorenzo Ghiberti. which weighed five
pounds, of which over four pounds
were of precious pearls and gems, and
cost over forty thousand gold ducats.
Tt was this inter which Eugene ~.
afterward pledged to Florence for
$40 600. which he gave to the G reeks,
who interviewed in the council of Flor
ence in 1889. Till the end of the last
century there were four precious
miters in existence-two made for
Plus V. and P,ul ", the latter of
whom spent $40 900 on his inter; and
two were male for Paul vi. The two
first were kept in Castle Saint Ange-
10, and were taken out for great cere-
monies.
When taken out they were guarded
by the Pope's jsweIer. and were ac-
companied by the same jeweler all
through the procession and ceremo-
mics of the day. Even when placed
on the papal altar. thev were under
the jewelers. custody. The other two
miters were kept in the pontifical
sacristy. Plus WIS first inter was
made in 1880. It had gold founda-
ton decorated with gold threads and
pearls. threaded with silver. also with
many other precious stones of all
kinds. At the back it was decorated
with the pontificial arms. The rib
bons were also covered with gold.
pearls, and diamonds This second
inter of this Pope was made in 1881.
and was decorated in the same man
ner, only in different pattern. and
the foundation was in silver instead
of gold. All these four miters were
broken up by Plus VI in 1897 in
order to pay the French what was
stipulated in the peace of Tolentino.
Not one of the miters offered to LEO
XIII. for his jubilee is of the value of
either one of the above-stated miters.

GOOD FERTILIZERS.
Farmers Can Save Considerable Money by
Making Them at Home.

We believe that farmers can make
much of their fertilizing material
great deal cheaper than they can buy
it, where the raw bone can be bought
for eight or ten dollars a ton. We
know that fertilizer manufacturers
will take issue with US upon this
point but we have tried it and know
whereof we speak when we assert that
when the material is at hand and can
be bought cheaply the farmer can
make mighty good wages while pre-
pairing his own fertilizer.
You can work up bone quicker with
acid than you can with lime and
ashes, but it is more expensive and
isn't quite as good.
Iprefer to work up what bone can
get with ashes, lime and salsoda in the
following manner: In one corner of
the garden or barn lot, shovel off the
soil down until you reach the clay.
The size of The excavation depends
upon the amount of bone you have to
use up. For ton of bone. place
Axe feet would be about the right size.
Then set up four posts. one at each
corner of your excavation. and with
some old refuse boards plank it up
three or four feet above ground, and
you have your pit complete. Begin fill
ing by first throwing in strong un-
leached ashes to the depth of three or
four inches. Then lay in bone some-
thing like placing sweet potatoes in
beds to sprout, crowding them up close
together. Cover this with ashes and
sprinkle over common pailful Of air.
slaked lime. or if it is unslaked a small
err amount will do. Pulverized salsoda
is next added. say about a quart to
each layer Of above size, then put in
bone again, and then continue as
above till the supply is used up. With
every layer Of ashes sprinkle on two
Or three pals of water, or enough to
thoroughly wet the entire mass.
Every few days the pit must be
watered, otherwise it will take too
much time for the bones to rot. IL

to use in three months. Every ton OF
bone used will make two tons fertilizer
that will analyze as high as any thirty
dollar bone-dust you can buy on the
market Indiana Farmer
