THE THREE DETECTIVES.
They Are Looking FOR Law to Apply TO

The Office Of the prosecuting attorney
was visited. yesterday, by the cIty's
detectives for the purpose of looking
up the matter Of arrestng somebody
for the alleged libel of Detectives Smith,
Cast and Gates, which appeared IN the
Morning Press of Friday morning.
That paper had said that "a prominent
citizen" had said that he had seen the
three officers named gambling IN Mart.

officers say - sn out and out lie, and
they defy the world 20 produce one
witness that dares TO come forward and
make the charge.
On Friday morning the mana gers of

asked either TO make 2 complete re-

A LONG CASE ENDED.
L. ID. Staples Convicted of Fraudulent
Use of the Mails.

The notable case Of the United States
VS.. L. Delos Staples, of Portland, was
concluded yesterday by the return of a
verdict of guilty on the last two counts
and innocent on the first one. The
first count of the indictment charged
fraudulent transactions in the sale of a
high grade of wheat. The second
related 10 the sale Of fictitious blue
berry roots, and the third related to
the due-berry roots. The jury thought
that the charge of fraudulent wheat
dealing was not sustained. Sentence
was deferred until January 6, pending
which Staples is released on bail in the
sum Of $1,000.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

There is not only quicker money but
more of it in hogs than in beef-the hogs
mature so much sooner.
Gull focks and herds as often at least
as once a year. 1t is quite as essential
as trimming fruit trees.
Hens should be permitted to range in
the pear and apple orchards 1t will
benefit the trees and also the hens.
If the rabbits bark the young trees
wrap the latter with tarred paper which
also prevents the borer from injuring
them.
Most vegetables can be improved by
care in selecting only the best specimens
for seed, and growing them under favora-
bic conditions.
Warming the stable and keeping the
stock comfortable is better than warming
it up once or twice a day by giving it
warm water to drink.
Corn and stalks fed together constitute
a better ration than either fed separately.
Nature knows better than man how to
combine food constituents.
Don't club bull; it only makes him
more ugly. If you must punish him use
a whip that will sting him. He will
mind that ten times quicker than he will
a club.
The man that puts iron bits in his
horses mouths in very cold weather,
without first warming the bits, has alto
gether too much of the savage in his
composition.
The fence for a shelter and east wind
for food do not make very fat stock, but
animals crowding around straw stack
on a cold, stormy day DO not fare much
better than this.
This is a good time to think of what
plants are to be propogated and seeds
sown in your garden. Lists Of these
should be made, and pots, boxes, sand,
soil, etc, got ready before they are
needed.
Don't fail to put a great deal Of we'll
rortcd manure on the garden and turn it
under. Remember that the more food
there is within reach Of the plant the
more it viii consume. and store up il its
fruit and leaves and stem.

THE FARM AND GARDEN,


have kept both chickens and ducks,
and would say to any one who has had
continued ''bad luck" with the former.
try ducks. They are far less trouble TO
raise; so far rs my experience goes l
might say they are free from vermin, and
they are free from disease. have never
lost duck from any cause but accident
Ducks mature early, growing much faster
than chickens. At about ten weeks old
duck will greatly outweigh q chicken
and has cost much less to grow. Ducks
will get great part of their food by for
aging; they will eat at most anything,
from mud and ashes up. They begin 10
lay in March, or sometimes the latter part
OF February. Besides eggs and chickens
sold, there is q profit from the feathers.
If you have little time, small patience
and don't like to doctor fowls, try ducks
instead of chickens. - World.

A PROFITABLE COMPOST.

My compost heap is composed of stable
and barnyard manure purchased in the
city, and hauled during the summer and
fall. To it are added the refuse from
the market garden, such as potato-tops,
vines of the bean, pea, cucumber, melon,
and in short everything with the ex-
ceptlon of ripe weeds that would add
to its value. Manure from my own
horses, cows and swine is added. The
heap is occasionally watered just enough
to keep it from burning, but not sutfic-
iently to drain from it. The heap is
worked over in winter, and is in fine
condition when the time comes to use
it. The amount OF refuse that can be
turned to accoun. in such compost is
remarkable, the more so as without it
much of such material is wasted A we'll
utilized compost heap should be feature
of every farm. -4merican Agriculturist.

VALUE OF MACHINERY.

The value of farm machinery consists
in the saving of labor and time and the
ability to do several times as much work
in a season as without it. By the aid Of
machinery a farm of 300 or 400 acres
may be managed as easily as one of fifty
acres without it. A potato planter cuts
the seed, drops and covers it, and finishes
eight acres in a day. A corn planter
does the same. A gang sulky pillow turns
four acres a day, and girl or boy can
manage it. Any of the new harrows will
fit ten or twelve acres Of stubble land for
wheat in a day. A seed drill sows as
much and saves half the seed. A self
binder does the work of four men with
out one; manure spreader scatters a
forty bushel load in two minutes and
much better than ten men could do it by
hand. A potato digger turns out 600 or
700 bushels of potatoes in a day; ''bug
wagon" with pump and hose sprinkles
an acre of potatoes with "bug poison
in half an hour. The grass seeder,
mower, horse rake, tedder, hay loader,
and horse fork reduce the cost of max
ing and housing hay to less than a
dollar per ton, while the fodder cutter and
the silo enables the farmer to feed one
head of stock for every acre he cultivates
in corn. All this being so, the hand to-
mouth farmer is left far behind by his
more enterprising neighbor, and Dor
rows money from him, becoming his
servant and slave, for 1.-THE borrower is
servant of the lender '-Ne1o York Times.

HINTS FOR STRAWBERRY CULTURE.

No plant from it's earliness and the de-
icious flavor of its fruit offers greater in
ducements for its cultivation TO the own
ers of modest garden plots than the
strawberry. The ground for a straw
berry plot ought, in reality, to be selected
year in advance, and SO literally
MANFRED as to require no further applica-
ton at time of planting. By the clean
cultivation of a hoed crop of some kind
the year preceding the berry crop the
ground will be brought into the best pos
sible condition, and will also be measur-
ably free from the weeds and grass gen
Grated in barnyard manure. This last is
an important item, for grass is a difficult
obstacle to contend with in strawberry
beds.
After the ground is broken up by pillow
ing or spading and just before the plants
are set out it ought to be thoroughly
raked over and pulverized. This gives
the plants the start of any weeds that
might otherwise have sprung up. Ashes
are often applied with decided benefit.
A deep, strong, sandy loan is considered
the best soil for strawberries. On new
unexhausted by cultivation, less fertiliz-
ing is required, of course, than on worn
lands. As to varieties no better advice
can be given than to select such as have
proved we'll adapted to the soil and eli
mate of the section where they are to be
grown. Fortunately this is no difficult
matter, as there are few, if any, districts
where one or more successful cultivators
may not be found to give the desired in
formation and from whom plants for the
first setting may be obtained at a com
paratively small cost.
Both fall and spring paintings are
practical, but in rigorous climates prefer
ence is given to the latter. For large
paintings the rows should be three and
half to four feet apart, with the plants
about twenty inches apart in the rows;
but for garden culture the rows may be
nearer,,together. Space ought TO be left be-
tween matted rows for convenience in
picking the fruit. CHIP off the early run
ners until the fruit has matured; after
ward train them Iengthwisc OF the rows
that the new plants may be within the
bounds of the row. This produces the
matted row, although many small grow

A QUAR- REL

There's knowing little proverb,
From the sunny land of Spain:
P7.in Northland, as in Southland,
Isits meaning clear and plain
Lock it up within your heart,
Neither lose nor lend it
Two it takes to make a quarrel;
One can always end it.
Try it well in every way,
Still you'll find it true,
In fight without foe,
Pray what could you do
If the wrath is yours alone,
Soon you will expend it
TWO it takes to make quarrel;
One can always end il.
Let's suppose that both are wroth,
And the strife begun,
II one voice shall cry for Peace"
Soon it will be done.
If but one shall span the breach,
He will quickly mend it
Two it takes TO make quarrel;
One can always end it.

History of the "I."

The small letter 81" was formerly writ
ten without the dot. The dot was in
troduced in the fourteenth century to
distinguish ''i'' from sc" in hasty and
indisdinct writing The letter ''j'' was
originally used where ''i''is now employed
The distinction between 81 and j" was
introduced by the Dutch printers at a
comparatively recent date, and the -
was dotted because the Il" from which
it was derived, was written with dot.
