The time has passed for farmers TO
deDend 90 muscle and hard labor alone.
They must use their brains as well as
hands. They must do moro thinking
and planning If they desire to receive
the best results. The lawyer studies
law. The doctor medicine. The mer-
eaaut must study commerce., the laws
of supply and demand, and the banker
must acguaint himself with the princi-
pies and details of finances. Just so
the farmer must study farming. The
experiments of last year in crop raising
aad breeding must be remembered
and pat 90 practical use this year. Not
only his own experience but that of
his co-IGboyers should be his to profit
By. Farming is science, and there
6fa many new things 10 learn in it yet;
and the best and cheapest way TO learn
those things is by study. Take agri-
cultural papers, read in their columns
the experiences aud observations OF
others and avail yourself of the many
useful hints and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Diversified Farming.

The one crop system followed up
will breed disease, no matter what the
crop may be. A rotation of crops will,
in q measure, if not wholly, prevent
its development. Diverse crops on the
same soil is measurabIy preventative
and as well a -ejuvenator of tbs soil.
Corn following corn, or wheat follow
ing wheat for series of years is the
prime cause of insect pests; whereas
an absolute change, not only OF crop,
but of variety of crop so as to induce a
change in the method Of cultivation, In
tho habits of plant growth and the de.
mands on the soil will be very apt tc
prevent The development of insect

MONTICELLO, KY, Sept. "a hor-
rible crime and still more horrible ven
geance has just occurred here. The
first was q criminal assault upon a
twelve-year.old child; the second, The
burning to death OF the guilty person.
Mr.. VIM. Oates and wife, living
twenty-five miles in the country. left
home for a visit, leaving their two
daughters, twelve and fourteen years
of age, to take care of the house. On
the place was negro called Jim.
When the old people had been gone
sometime Jim entered the house, and
locking the older girl In one room, took
the younger into room and assaulted
her. The older girl escaped, and going
to neighbours gave the alarm. "A
posse was organized and started after
the black fiend. He was found hiding
in the woods. Unfortunately for him
Judge Lynch neglected to bring a
rope. 1t was suggested by some one
that he be burned to death. This was
acted on. He was bound to saplipg,
and dry leaves and other inflamable
matter was piled up around him. A
match was touched to the combusti-
bles, and the negro burned 10 death.

QUEEN OF THE CONIACKERS.
Lucy Ingersoll, of Illinois, was one of the
"Queens" of the counterfeiters. She man.
aged a numerous gang. more than a dozen
of whom were captured with herself, and all
of whose portraits now encircle her own in
a special group in the Secret Service Gal
lery.
Probably no smarter all-round counter
feiter ever lived than John Peter McCart-
ney, who is now nearly 65 years old and yet
liyes-just now in prison-to practice his
art, for it was genuine art with him.
Brockway may have been more refined, but
he was less versatile. Born on farm, when
he was a young man Pete fell in with a
family named Johnston, of whom the
famous Charlie Johnston was one, and one
of the females of which afterward married
the notorious Miles Ogle, burglar, counter
feiter and murderer, one of the most expert
and desperate rogues that ever lived. Nc
Cartney tried his hand at ''raising" notes.
Then he learned engraving and became an
expert engrsver. He made plates and
presses himself and brought out some of the
most perfect specimens of counterfeitlng
ever produced. No engraver was ever more
rapid in his work. He once produced a
famous plate within two weeks, though six
months is considered fair time for such
work. He was a good dentist, practiced
medicine successfully, lectured ON "How to
Detect Counterfeits" and passed counter
feits and bogus coin in change at the doors
of halls where he spoke, acted as treasury
expert and agent of the Secret Service, was
an artist, mule driver, cattle dealer and
gentleman of leisure by turns.
EVEN THE POLICE LOVED HIM.
Innumerable times he was in prison, usu-
ally broke out or bought his way out, pur-
chased his freedom scores of times when
arrested, and was really a sort of favorite of
the police to an extent that they always
regretted his capture. On one occasion
during the war he was arrested In West

Charles UIrich she was asleep Louie

were about to begin operations
ROSA APPEARED UPON THE SCENE
and threatened an exposure unless she were
taken in on an equal footing. She had bor-
rowed money from an Italian friend in Lon
don and had taken the steamer which fol-
lowed that In which Russo and Orlando
sailed. Elaborate preparations were made
for showing the stuff. They had left for
London in November, 1887, and in June,
1888, were ready for $50, 600 transaction, so
little time does it require to become rich by
counterfeiting If one is not caught. Alasi
before one month had passed Gaetano and
Rosa, Louie Orlando, August Russo and
wife, Salvador Di Glovonni and Angelina,
his wife, and Robert j. Traynor were ar
rested, speedily convicted and sentenced to
terms of from to IL years.
One of the tricks of counterfeiters is to
get of, or secure mitigation of sentence,
by promising to give valuable information
and possibly to betray the whereabouts of
other counterfeiters. In this way Miles
Ogle pulled the wool over the eyes of 60
