A correspondent of the Albany Guilt
vator, after long study, thinks he has
found a way to prevent potato rot. 1t is
10 keep the hill dry by combining a square
piece of paper around the stems on all
sides about a foot square. The object Of
this is to turn off the excess Of water
from the potato hills. If this plan be
good for anything it is an argument in
favor Of the high, conical hills, which
shed water from the tubers almost as
thoroughly as an umbrella would do.
PAPER would need TO be oiled and be pref
ty tough at that to endure the long beat
ing of heavy storms. Usually, however,
potato growers, about the time of per
fecting the tuber, are rather DESTROYS Of
rain. If n very dry time comes just at
this period the crop is ruined by drouth,
which is just as bad as rot. Potatoes
drying up at the west last year is the
chief cause of scarcity now. The remedy
suggested is better adapted TO moist eli
mates, like England or ireland, than this
country.

OLArHE, Kan, July 20.-Deputy SheriHs
Hannibal Campbell and Frank p. Holienbock
were arrested here last night charged with
the murder OF John T.. Reardon at Round
Prairie school house, nine miles south on the
night Of April %. They had a warrant for a
desperate named Rogers and his description
tailed exactly with that OF Reardon. Rear
don was enroute from Philadelphia to Una
tilla, Ore, but was stopping temporarily at
the school house, as his horse was lame. He
was heavily armed. When the officers found
Reardon and ordered him to hold up his
hands he refused and started from the chair
In which he had been sitting. Then the
officers fred upon and killed him.. The coro-
ner's jury exonerated them.

How Horses Are Disabled.

The hardest work on farm horses is that
OF a spasmodic nature, heavy II day
and light the next, or a hard days work
one day and nothing at all to do the next.
Horses whose nerves becone like iron and
which are able to stand almosu anything
III the way OF wear and tear are those
which have an opportunity to lay out
their strength every day III the week.
Sore shoulders, weak limbs and many of
the disorders that are found among horses
are the results often of but short periods
of too severe strains, or OF a day or q half
day $ worK that was harder than they
had been used to. There is danger at
this season OF the year Of imposing hard
tasks upon teams, the roads being bad
and some of the heaviest farm work
needing attention. There is no time in
the year either that farmers can as little
AFFORD TO get their horses out of shape rs
new, the harvesting season le'ng near at
hand, when every days work may mean
SO many dollars and cents. National

When a man says there is 10 money at
farming it is a tacit Acknowledgement
that his management has been AT fault.
Good parental advice and encouragement
are much needed by farmers sons during
the first year or two upon the farm. IT
would be a great gain to young men, and
much lessen the number Of failures, il
farmers would allow their sens to begin
farming for themselves at an early age,
say fourteen or fifteen. Give them a field
and time and means to work it, advise
them what TO do, and show them how to
avoid mistakes. This course would give
the young greater experience: they would
gain confidence in themselves, and by the
time they arrived at mans estate would
be competent to manage any farm sue

Iowa Freight Matters.

Dies MofNE-, July 2i.-The examination Of
the railroad commissioners by the attorney
for the Rock Island and Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Northern roads, continued all day
and Is not yet completed. Several rather
startling facts have been brought out by the
inquiry. 1t was shown that the printed sched-
ule Of rates which the commissioners sent to
the roads as the new rates differed in a dozen
particulars from the original copy as agreed
upon by the commissioners The printed copy
lie one instance includes. under a certain elias
siication, 'lumber, doors, sash and blinds"
whilethc originalcopy when compared showed
only lumber. Another classification showed
carloads amounting TO 20, 900 pounds, while IN
the original there is no limitation as to weight
at all. When asked to explain those varia-
tions Commissioner Smith, who has been on
the stand all day, said he could not explain
them. and aid not know how they came to be
made.
1t will be remembered that before prepar-
inc the schedule Of rates the commissioner
invited representatives Of the various inter
ests TO appear and argue before the board.
Al these hearings thi tcn0grapner Of the
board was present aad took notes OF the
! speeches. The examination Of the s~tenogra-
pher showed that none OF these notes, except
those on the jobbers' speeches, had as yet
been Transcribed for the use of the board.
When questioned why IT was that the notes
on the arguments Of the farmers, railroad
managers, etc, had not been transcribed for
the benefit Of the board, the stenoglapher re-
piled that he had had no time; that other
matters had interfered with him doing SO and
that the board had not made a special request
for him TO 90 80, etc.
Commissioner Smith, when questioned
closely, said that a railroad rate might be just
and ~yeasonable when 1t did not pay the ope
rating expenses Of the road that used it
Judge Witnrow then asked him who was tt
pay the deficit. cts none Of my bushes,
to worry over that was his reply.

Time to Cut Grass.

There is a happy medium in all things,
and IN cutting Timothy for hay | think
the happy medium is just when the seed
is beginning to harden and while the
whole plant is yet green. 1t is the same
state of ripeness that is found best for
cutting corn for the silo, when the seed is
glazing. At that stage the sap in the
whole plant is ripe, andit is to be supposed
there is then the most feeding value. AS
a rule, the moving machine cuts the
grass TOO close. In the effort to save
everything, it seems that something in
the way of durability of the plant is lost.
In cutting timothy is this m0r especially
the case, as the stem just above the bulb
Gus roots is thickened, and cutting at this
point Injuries it much more than if cut an
inch ar - above. AS this cutting takes
place in hot and dry weather, the roots
are apt to suffer in consequence.

Notes.

The visible wheat is about Is, 900, 600
bushels less than at this time a year ago,
and the shortage in the winter wheat crop
is estimated at 80, 000, 600 bushels. With
the same demand as last year it is evident
that the price must be materially higher.
Sunilower seeds planted between the
ROW. of potatoes after the last blowing
will mature a crop and be found proita-
BILE. The seed is good feed for poultry.
Where cabbages are troubled with in
sects sulphur 3prinkled on them has been
found effective. 1t is best to grow the
heads quickly.
A pig 20 make a good hog needs good
care and good feed. He is born with a
tendency to grow and fatten. and if given
an opportunity will prove a paying ami
NAL. The lately published experiments
| Of the Wisconsin station show that the
amount Of lean and fat in the dressed car
| cass of a hog can be varied to suit the
taste by proper feeding.
The farmers daughter should cultivate
a strong arm 20 go with her warm heart
and sensible head.
