An Extremely Cautious Man.

DEs MONIES, Ia, March 24.-lSpecial to
THE BEE. THE state house employees are
having some fun with State Auditor Lyons.
He took notion the other day that he would
put a safe in his office, and so small iron
box was rolled up there. The whole capitol
is practically a safe, with its stone walls
from two to fifty feet in thickness Every
state office has great vault, fire proof and
burglar proof as we'll In addition to these
precautions, for the safety of important
papers, night police patrol the corridors from
sun set to sun rise, and the janitor sleeps in
front OF the entrance to the vault in the
auditors Office. But to- auditor is an ex-
tremely cautious man, and be has the custody
of the securities of insurance companies
doing business in this state, which are by
law required to be deposited with him. An
insurance company OF this city had left with
him sone valuable securities, and the captain
began to get nervous over the responsibility.
He thought he saw innum cradle opportun-
ties for the wicked burglars to break in and
steal them, and so when the company pro-
posed to furnish small safe to put the Sc
curities in, he gladly took it. People about
the state house are now wondering what he
will do if the forty or fifty other companies
doing business here ask to put in safes for
their securities His office, at that rate,
would soon look like the sample room of q
safe factory.

Saving Manure.

Successful gardening means q plenti-
full application of fertilizers, and, in
deed, there should be more attention
given to saving manure on the farm
than is now bestowed. Our land is
mostly very fertile naturally, but
manure does not hurt any land, and the
time will come when either we or those
who come after us must fertilire the
land. But the garden needs manure,
and we would raise the best garden
crops. In the firstiplace, we shouh have
a barnyard that is fitted for saving the
manure. If the yard is one that per
mits all the drainage to run to waste we
shall lose a good deal. The drainage
should be taken care of somehow, 1t
being leftao the individual Judgment in
each ease as how best to do that. Then
in piling up manure it is much better to
put it inte;a flat heap. If you pile horse
manure on 10 high, loose place fer
mentation will be excessive and vast
deal of ammonia will be wasted. II it
is put into fiat pile the process of fer
mentation can be regulated, for when
it is too great the pile can be trodden
down. That will check fermentation

The Spreekles beet sugar enterprise in
Santa Cruz County, says the San Fran
cisco Call, has proved practical sue
cess, and the world is thereby furnished
with another illustration of Claus
Spreckles' sagacity. This latest sue
cess increases the business prestige of
Spreckles to an enormous extent. He
said the enterprise would succeed and
was sanguine in the face of failures. He
held that previous experiments had not
been properly made and could not be
considered as true tests. The beet sugar
factory at Watsonville has been running
two weeks, and a crushing of $50 tons of
beet day has yielded forty tons Of
sugar. The enterprise is highly appre-
ciated by the farmers of the jacksonville
region and the people of the town, for
the very excellent reason that it has de-
veloped one season of prosperity and in
sured more. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Spreckles will look into other industries
after he has finished with sugar. A man
of his intelligence and force should not
confine his attention TO any one product.

Its valu, to the breeder and tho Necess ity
for Using 1t.
There is no use in talking about it,
no man can succeed as breeder without
the most liberal use of printers ink"
That is what we heard fall from the lips
Of an old and successful breeder the
other day. This is truly one of the oc-
equations where it will not do to hide
your light under busheL The reason
for all this is simple enough. Suppose
for number of years you have been
assiduously attending to your breeding
business on your farm, saying nothing
to any one through the press, attending
fairs and sales perhaps, but not giving
any one to understand that you possess
the spirit OF leader in your line Of busi-
ness, and what is the result? You become
overloaded with live stock and, being
forced to advertise, no one knows who
you are, and those who are in need OF
the very animal you have to sell con-
clude that, as they never heard of you
before, the chances are that you are
mere adventurer in the business, one
who has bought up a lot of animals to
sell again. Such we say is the very
natural conclusion, from the fact that
you were not known to the community
of which you are a part.
Perhaps you are not writing man and
know nothing of the art of quill-driving.
That amounts to nothing. If you have
any ideas of your own, and it is poor
man that has none, they can readily
be put in form by the editor Of good
journal. But il you SO much dislike
writing as to refuse to do it under any
and all circumstances, then you must
advertise the more, for the lack of this.
Advertise you should do any way; even
if it be but small one, it should be in
several journals, and stay there year in
and year out, Keep yourself before the
public. 6Es 4a III
One good way to court public atten-
ton is showing stock at fairs. 1t mat
ters very little who gets the premium,
your gain comes from the notice you
get from every journal that mentions
the fair. All such scribblers praise you,
no matter what you have on exhibition
Then there is the advertisement of pub
lie sales; of course the better the ami
mails youhave in the sales the more they
advertise you, but you should get into
those sales even if you come in at the
tail end. We know number of mer
who have been handling fine stock fol
twenty 10 thirty years, always breeding
and buying the best but who have never
succeeded in selling to great advan
tage, simply because they have neglected
the proper use of printers ink.-Amer

eARREL HOOPS.

Their Manufacture from Planting the Pole
to Shaving the Hoop.
Assuming that the poles have been
artificial!y grown, the first cutting will
probably be made the fourth or fifth year
from time of planting. If grown thick.
ly, as directed, there will be from 90, 900
to $4,000 poles on an acre. Perhaps not
more than one-fourth of these will be Of
sufficient size to cut this first time. The
lengths required are as follows, For mo-
lasses barrels, eight-foot poles; for pork
barrels, seven-fOot; for smaller-sized bar
rels, four-foot six inches, fve-foot six
inches and six-foot. Thegreatest demand
is for the two longest mentioned. The
poles to be manufactured into these
lengths must be at least one inch in
diameter at the top end. The smallest
size mentioned need not be over FIVE
eighths of an inch in diameter at the ton
end. AS rule it will not pay to cut
the poles until they have attained the
larger size named, as the price is so low
for these small sizes that it will be more
profitable to give the timber another
seasons growth before cutting.
The cutting should be done in late
autumn and winter, so that new sprouts
