The pension office calls attention to a
provision in the disability pension bill,
just enacted, which is of great interest
to the large number of soldiers affected
by the bill. This provision is to the effect
that instead of executing their applica-
tions for pensions before clerk of rec
ord, as the law has heretofore required,
they may verify them before a notary
public, justice of the peace or any officer
authorized to administer oaths for gen.
eral purposes and who has an official seal.
If the verification is made before an Off
Ger who uses no official seal, the act re-
quires that the signature of such officer
and his official seal shall he certified by
the clerk of proper court of record.

THE FIRST ARREST.

The first arrest in the State for non
compliance with the census rules was at
Lincoln, few days ago. There DR.. A.
j. Cushman, the enumeratOr, found a
difficult subject in Ezra Lapont, other
wise known as "Judge Pierpoint," who
speaking of the census said: 1T is a
humbug, besides | have no time to
spare" But the enumerator, who was
paid at the rate of two cents name, ask
ed for his and received this reply :"When
| was a boy fell into the brook and lost
my name, ever since then they called me
Il thief" After little more of this sort
of talk the enumerator drove away and
Lapont will appear in court next Octo-
Der, when it is expected he will answer
properly. He had hearing at Burling-
ton on Monday and gave bonds to appear
when wanted.

Two boys, aged about II years, made
deliberate attempt to cremate 6-year-
old girl on public street at Toronto.
One of them threw large quantity of
coal oil over her and the other set her
clothing on fire. She started to run and
the flames leaped as high as her head,
but an Italian threw her down and
snOthered the flames with his heavy
jacket before she was fatally burned
The boys, who are unknown, made their

Advices have reached Cairo that the
famine which has for some time prevail
ed I'm the Soudan is increasing rapidly.
Thousands of natives are without food of
any kind, and the reported number of
deaths from starvation is appalling.
With the reports of this dreadful state of
affairs came horrible stories of can
nibalism, which is also said to be on
the increase. 1t was reported not long
ago that the dead were being eaten by
the famished survivors, but the present
advices represent matters still worse. 1t
is now asserted that large numbers of
men, women and children are deliberate
ly put to death that they may serve as
food for their frenzied companions. Re-
lief has been extended to these unhappy
people as far as possible, but not suffic-
iently to allay the terrible, suffering In

yond reach.
The new constitution of Brazil has
been promulgated. 1t recognizes fede-
raj system, based upon that of the United
State. The President alone Is RESPONSE
bic to the nation. The ministers are re-
placed by secretaries of state who are re-
sponsible to the President alone. Parlia-
ment will consist of House of Repre-
sentatives and Senate. The powers of
these two bodies will be of a purely legis-
lative character, and an adverse vote by
either chamber will not entail change
of ministry. A new House of Represen-
tatives will be elected biennally and a
new Senate every nine years. The Pres
ident's term of Office will be six years.
The first presidential election will be by
Congress and has been fixed for Novem-
Der next. The new constitution is a
source of much relief to the people as it
gives them more confidence in the gov
eminent than when under dictatorial
control. There is great rejoicing through
out Brazil.

it may be again got IN good condi-
ton for growing crops. Nursery
men usually plant where land is
clear, and they always manure
we'll, but they have learned not to
take two crops of trees off the
same land without having a few
years OF other cropping intervene.
Except on clay soils they have
learned to be particular against
using land that has ever before
been cropped with trees if they can
help 1t. The better way, there
fore, if a piece OF land already an
orchard is to be kept in that con-
dition, is not to let the old trees
die out and plant anew, but to re-
novate the old trees as much as
possible by liberal manuring,
pruning and cultivation. If some
OF them die out, it is useless TO
try to fill in the vacancies with
new trees. The old tree on either
side need just this extra room and
manure, and they will hopelessly
strangle the young trees efforts
to gain toothold. 1t is the old
lesson running all through nature,
that in such contest the strong
brushes the weak out of existence.

FARM AND HOME.
THE GARDEN.

At meeting of farmers recently
held at Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Mr..
James Sloan gave talk upon
gardening. Having been engaged
IN market gardening since his boy
hood he is well informed as to the
best methods. Coming down to
the ordinary farmers garden, he
advised setting off a piece of land
for this special purpose-a piece
bearing to the south or east, if
possible. lie would have 1t well
fenced and leave a sod border 25
or 80 feet wide around the fence.
BE would have his garden 400 feet
long and about 100 feet wide. The
. fence should inclose double the
amount of land required for the
garden. One-h&lfshould be seeded
while the other half is IN cuItiva-
ton. This makes cultivation
easier by keeping down weeds,
and at the same time adds to the
fertility of the soil. He would
pillow under good coat of manure
In the fall and pillow again in the
spring. Along the length of the
garden on one side he would lay
off bed SIX feet wide for lettuce,
radishes, late cabbage, sage and
other vegetables of this nature.
About four feet from this comes
his row of asparagus all the way
across the garden. Then about
eight feet from this comes row of
raspberrles, and eight feet further
a row of blackberrles. Between
these rows he would put a row of
strawberries. He plants row of
these every year. After they have
trulted he ploughs them up and
plants a new row. In succeeding
rows he has rhubarb, red and white
ourrants, peas, cabbage, etc. Peas
should be planted at intervals OF
about one week, and when the first
paintings are ripe they may be re-
moved and celery planted In their
place. White turnips will tike the
place of the later sowings. A row
of Lima beans must have a place
also, and should be planted with
eye down. There is very good |
reason for this little precautlon
also. The stalk forces the bean to |
the surface, and if the bean hangs
to one side it is liable to break off |
before it reaches the surface, in |
which case the bean never comes
up. Plant squashes between the
corn rows and when the corn is
ripe6 remove it and cultivate the
sQuashes.

NEW TREES ISPLACE OF OLD,

When an old orchard is dug up
do not try at once TO replace it
with new trees OF the same species,
says the American AgrIculturist.
To change while keeping the
ground continually covered IS
natures method OF rotation and
renovation. Evergreens succeed
decidious trees, and in turn the
latter succeed the former. So far
as possible the farmer should re-
spect this method winch natural
laws suggest. The orchard died
out presumably not because the
trees had reached their natural
limit Of lite, 5nt because in some
essential element for their growth
the soil was deficient. Thi, same
soil may and generally does grow
ordinary farm crops successfully ,
thus showing that It's failure is only
partial. Alter . few years Of

AMistake Farmers MAKE.

When the Texas Agricultural
Bureau was first established and
the assessors were required by the
state commissioner to collect under
the law certain information regard
ing the products Of the farms and
etc, few farmers of the state
rebelied and refused to answer
some of the most important ques-
tions propounded. The question
of mortgage indebtedness was one
that they regarded as en- infringe
ment on their personal rights to
keep to themselves their OWE bust
ness. Consequently that part of the
commissioners report was incom-
piete. But after The first annual
report was gwen to the public and
the use OF the information made
known all objections to aiding the
assessor in securing full and relia-
bic data vanished. From the press
we learn that the commissioner of
Agriculture of Missouri has ex:
perienced just such difficulties in
Missouri. Hr Mohier on this
question has addressed the follow
ing letter to the assessors:
The farmers, no doubt are hon.
est, but they are wrong in the
position they take, and it will re.
qulre some time TO set them right.
l therefore concluded TO address a
letter to each assessor in the state
and give instructions how to pro-
coed in cases where farmers persist
in Withholding the information
which the assessor is required to
take. There is no law to compel
the farmer TO give this information;
but it is MADE the duty, under the
law, for the assessor to get 1t In
some way. If all other means in
securing the Information fail, then
be should, by careful estimate,
fill out the blanks in the statistical
roll as required by law. We
must in some way get these stats
ties. and as the law provides a way
for assessors to get them even
though farmers Withhold them,
we trust every assessor will avail
himself Of the means afforded
