the danger of its smoking, or the Iarnp

me, and destroyed over 200 eggs. He
then took my advise, and the machine is
running now quite evenly. Another
thing, for those intending to raise chick
ems is to have runs made to accommodate
about ten hens and one cock, so as to have
the eggs well fertiized; also pick out the
most robust and strongest hens and cock.

teacher who came up to Duluth in July to
visit friends, bat finding them absent,
went to West Superior to stay with other

St. Paul Thursday. The young lady
has many friends here, and the revela-
ton of her connection with The case. no
matter how remotely, will fall like
thunderclap in best circles. Her letter
will imply that she and Horton have had
improper relations, is full of very endear-
ing terms, and will contain refusal to go
with him unless he gets rid of his present
family. 1t was written a short time be-
fore the drowning of Horton s family, and
shortly after the alleged drowning she
left Duluth hurriedly and has not been

IMPORTANT BANK DECISION.
Judge Gresham's Opinions on Making
Bank Collections

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 27.-Judge Ores
ham yesterday handed down an opinion in
the case of the Comm arcial bank of Gin
cinnati against the Hamilton National
bank of Fort Way e, which is of general
interest to banks anu bankers. The case
grew out of the failure of Fletcher &
Sharpe. of indianapolis. Judge Gresham
holds, in effect, that when one bank owns
paper and sends it to another for col
lection, Endorsed pay FOR collection"
and it passes through chain of banks
thus Endorsed, the bank making the collec-
ton is held to the responsibility of seeing
that the funds reach the original owner of
the paper. If this decision should be up
held it will doubtless result in banks remit
ting collections directly to the owner of
the paper and not back through the chain
of banks through which it is transmitted.

VANDALIA, H., Aug. 28.-Several
months ago Ernest Range, a German
blacksmith living at Hagerstown, disap-
peared. Range had no relatives IN this
country and it was thought for a time that
he had returned to Germany. lnforma

that they know nothing Of his where
abouts. He was last seen near the old
coal hole west of Vandalia. 1t is known
that he had bitter enemies here and it is
the general belief that he was followed out
of town and murdered and his body cast
into the abandoned hole, which has since
been filled up.

And Tor the future have no dread,
But look ahead

With threads of silver in thy HAIR,
Fretting myself DER chances lost,

Fear not the change that soon must come
All living walk toward the grave
God only takes the life He gave
Let thy thoughts dwell on things above

Remember. while you toll today,
The earth must at last be thy bed,
Strive not for dross-'tis best instead

Double Crops.

Where practicable, observes a Rural
New Yorker writer, a double crop gives
the largest profit. mixture of one-half
bushel of barley and one and a half bushels
of oats will increase the number and
weight of the bushels yielded. as we'll as
their feeding value. If to this mixture be
added a few quarts of the small, yellow
Canada pea, the yield ana value will be
still greater; but the peas should be omit
ted on land where the vines will be so rank
as to pull down the grain and make bad
work for the machine. Quick, dry gravely
land, where straw and vines do not grow
too large, Is best suited for this crop. If
you persist in sewing corn thickly for fod-
der, put on some oats They will get
ripe but the corn will keep them from
lodging, and will be the best part of the
fodder. Corn planted broadcast, or to
thlckIy in drills is mass of water with
just tissue enough to hold it together. To
be at their best corn needs plenty of sun,
and potatoes a partial shade One field
was planted with both with satisfactory
results, the rows were two feet apart each
way. Every other row was corn, so that
each hill had an area of Is square feet

above the average III this vicinity. For
the best yield of corn ever grown there
were 4 feet between the rows one way.
The corn can be cut and drawn to the silo
and not be in the way of digging the pota-
toes. The latter were deep between the
rows of corn, and seemed to be benefited
by the partial shade, yielding as much as
the crop on the adjoining fields The bugs
are not so harmful after the corn has got
large enough to shade the pota-
toes. The corn can be drilled in
with the grain drill, one row at time, and
another hoe left down will mark the posi-
ton of the row at the same time. If one
doesn t care to row more than one way
Put little more brains into your manage

the labor on the growing crop, or the crop
itsel, fit the ground for the next one.

EDITOR STANDARD Every one

has boys enough of her own to fill a
firstsclass school. Parents are send

education as it would cost them il
