Alfalfa Honey the Best.

OF honey produced from alfalfa, A. l.
Root in Gleanings, says: The sample
of alfalfa honey is not only the finest
in appearance Of any honey ever saw
in my life, but it is also equal in flavor.
1t is almost II not quite, as clear as
water, and yet during hot July day it
will scarcely run. 1t is as clear as a
and exquisite in flavor Very
likely our friend has not a ton of such
honey, but If he has l should think it
would be a small fortune II he could
get it before the class of people who
buy gilt-edge butter, and things of that
sort And By the way, we are using al
falfa honey on our table day after day,
/ never ate any other honey that suited
so we'll, and for so great a length OF
time, At present the outlook seems to
be that alfalfa honey Is destined to
lead the world"

RoTTINa MANURE.
Winter Is the Best Time to Make and
Save Fertilizers.

Winter Is the Best Time to Make and
Save Fertilizers.
II the manure is to be rotted before II
is hauled out and applied when 1t can
be done it will be the best plan to ar
range a shed under which 1t can be
stored while rotting. If piled in the
yard there is always more or less loss by
teaching. There is also more waste by
evaporation than If it is stored under
shelter In rotting manure care must
be taken to stir sufficiently often to pre-
vent 6re-fanging
Manure that is thoroughly rotted can
be worked more readily into the soil,
while there will be larger proportion
of the plant-food available. To this
may be added decrease in the number
of weed seeds that it will contain, as
rotting will to large extent kill their
vitality. These may be considered the
advantages, and for some purposes, and
especially when to be used in the gar
den, will be found profitable, On small
farms, where at best there is only
small quantity of manure, and the most
possible must he made out of 1t, rotting
the manure may be made profitable.
But in the average Western farm,
where to a considerable extent all OF
the farm products Is fed out to stock
and the manure is saved to be applied
back to the soil, the handling of
the manure necessary to rot prop
erly and thoroughly fine would
be quite an item, and for this reason
mainly it Is questionable whether it
can be made profitable. In cleaning out
the stables or sheds or in cleaning up
the yards or feed-lots it is little If any
more work to throw the manure direct
into wagon rather than into piles I'M
der a shelter, while 1t is no more work
to scatter from the wagon. If applied
on plowed land scattering direct from
the wagon the per cent. of loss either
by evaporation or teaching is very
small. The soil is in good condition to
take up and retain nearly all or quite
all the soluble portions During the
winter is not only the best time to make
and save manure, but there is then
more time to haul out and apply on the
land without interfering with other
farm work; and If the manure is taken
direct from the stables to the fields the
work can be kept up through the win
ter and this will be quite saving OF
time in the spring. The manure being
in the soil will be in position to ben.
eft the plants as soon as they start tc
grow.
Manure from the garden should al
ways be thoroughly rotted and fined SC
that it will interfere but little If any
with the preparations and planting Of
the crops or with the cultivation. But
:, with nearly or quite all of the field
, crops this is unnecessary. Loui:

FARM AND GARDEN.
DRESSED POULTRY.
abe Experience of Woman Who Doe
Her Own Selling.

The Experience or Woman Who Does
Her Own Selling.
In walking through the markets
about year ago noticed some dressed
poultry and inquired the price, and the
answer was "ffteen cents a pound" and
the thought came forcibly to my mind
truly there's profit in raising poultry,
but who makes the profit? Not the
producer nor tho consumer, but the one
who buys and sells, had raised
chickens for the market great many
years, always selling them to poultry
buyers as soon as the broilers were
marketable. made up my mind then
that what poultry l sold after this
would be sold direct to the consumer,
and have found by experience that is
the best way to dispose of poultry for
any one living near city market or
small town. There are always great
many people who would buy their
poultry every week, especially If
nicely dressed according to agree
ment Every farmers wife who be-
lieves in equality for all and wants
her own pocket book, to spend the
money as she sees fit, should
look into these matters, and instead
of disposing of poultry to the first
buyer who comes along, go into the
towns and solicit orders for dressed
poultry, selecting breed like
the Plymouth Rock or Brahma, oil
any breed that has yellow flesh and
legs; then sort them after dressing
putting all the young males into one
basket and all the dressed pullets IL
another, and all year-old fowls of equa,
size and weight by themselves
A woman who can drive to the city OF
village once week can readily dispose
of all she can raise, and buy all hel
neighbours chickens, and when dressed
and delivered make quite nice profit
Help can be procured in almost an,
place to dress poultry for five cents
head. The chickens that are offered TO
sale, generally, pass through two diff
ferent hands after leaving the farmer
yard; the buyer must have a profit
likewise the seller. The farmers wifi
with very little effort can dispense wit
these two and have the profit herself

EARLY VEGETABLES.
Preparation of the Soil in Late Fan for

Preparation of the Soil in Late Fan for
Profitable Spring Crops.
For our earliest cabbage, lettuce and
other outside crops we employ method
OF tall preparation, says a writer in
Popular Gardening, which is not gener-
ally in use, we think, and which gives
a start of more than week in the
spring over ordinary preparation, This
is done by applying heavy coat of
manure in the fall Shown by the dark
est part in the engraving above), and
ridging the land with the pillow. The
ridge consists of double furrow thrown
up In regular order across the field, as

PREPARATION FOR TIE EARLIEST CROPS
indicated in the cross section illustra-
ton. Several advantages arise by this
method. The soil is thoroughly ex-
posed to the benefit of freezing in the
winter, thus insuring finer tiltk the
coming season; the larvae of the May
beetle and other insects are destayed
by freezing. In the spring the soil
dries o1t sooner than in adjoining land
that is not thus ridged. Immediately
it is dry enough to level with the hsT-
row, seeds can be sown, for the manu-
Ing and blowing were done in the falS,
and thus the crop is started long time
ahead of what would have been possible
on land that was only MANFRED and
plowed in the spring.

Destb of Governor Hoypv.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-General Alvin
p. Hovey, governor Of Indiana, died this
afternoon at 1:2O. He died of heart fail
ure. About five weeks ago Governor
Hovey started on pleasure trip through
the west and Mexico. When the trip was
about half completed the governor was
taken suddenly i'll and had to return home.
Governor Hovey was born in Posey
county, near Mount Vernon, Indiana, in
1921. He served one term in Congress and
was elected governor in 1856. Governor
Hovey was twice married. His first wife
was daughter of the late Caleb B. Smith,
secretary of the interior under President
Lincoln, and she died in 1865, two weeks
after her marriage, in New York city,
while en- route to Peru, to which country
Governor Hovey was appointed minister.
When the war broke out he enlis ted as
colonel of the Twenty-fourth Indiana, was
commissioned brigadier- general for gal
1antry at Shiloh, and he won his major
generalship at Champion hills. At the
close Of the war he was military governor
of Indiana, and upon him devolved the re-
sponsibility of the celebrated treason trials
IN which Milligan, Bowles and Humphrey
were convicted, later to be pardened by
President Lincoln. Two chil1ern survive
the governor.

Fonseca Forced to Resign

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Dispatches from Rio
de Janeiro this afternoon bring news that
the opposition to Fonseca had gathered suf-
ficient fcrce to break through all barriers
and make itself master of the situation.
All that is known is that the uprising was
so formidable that Fonseca. considered it
impossible any longer to maintain the as
cendancy ana surrendered his authority
In 'resigning," as he called it. he declared
he did so in favor Of Florino Peixotto, vice.
president or vice-chief Of the provisional
government of which Fonseca was the
head. Whether the opposition will be
content to allow PeiXotti, alb out whom lit
tie is known here, TO assume the leader
ship Of the state, is not known, but it is
not believed he will be permitted to act as
chief executive, even temporarily, unless
in sympathy with the revolutionary move
ment.
Rio Grsnde is in q state of great excite
ment, but the reports don't indicate mob
law or serious disorder. The uprising.
however, had the effect of putting stop
for the time being to all kinds of business
The news that Fonseca had resigned
spread through the city like wildfire, and
was everywhere received with euthusi-
astic cheers and EXPLANATIONS of satisfac-
ton. The provinces have not yet been
heard from, but it is believed the news of
the dictstor's downfall will everywhere be
received with the same satisfaction as al
the capital. The revolution at Rio de ia
metro only broke out this morning, and its
Work was quickly accomplished.

MINES AND MINING

The American Natural Gas company,
which is drilling the new well at Lake
Crossing, on the Rio Grande Western
railroad, three miles south of Pennington,
struck flow of gas at o'clock yesterday
afternoon at depth of 500 feet, which
shot" itself, running beyond the control
OF the drillers with such pressure that
nothing could be done with it until the
stop gauges could be secured from the city
to hold 1T down and resume the drilling
till sufficient depth below the strata is
reached to lower the dynamite success
fully and shute the well in proper order.
This well Is the first drilled with the eight
inch casing, and it is believed will furnish
commercial gas with an output equal to
any of those in the fields of Ohio or In
diana. AT 6 O'Clock last evening the well
was throwing stones and chunks 200 feet in
the air, and the roaring could be heard two
miles. The American company will imme-
diately begin drilling others in the same
locality.

is 1T COLLISION?
The City Authorities Prosecute the Witnesses
in Gambling Raid.

When the deputy marshals raided the
gambling den over Schade's saloon last
Thursday night they found there,
whether by accident or design is
not known-but it was probably the
latter-two men named Meller and
King, who were taken in custody with the
rest. When the keepers of the den fur
nished bonds before the commissioner.
Meller and King were both subpnnaed as
witnesses in the case, and released on their
own recognizance. The gamblers asked
whether or not the men were dep
uty marshals, and Deputy Cannon re-
pied IN the negative. If they were he
said, he did not know it. The gamblers
took the names Of the two witnesses. and
later had them both arrested by Detective
Glenn on the charge of gan bling claiming
that the offense had been committed on the
evening of the raid. Both were required
TO give bonds for their appearance before
justice Gee. Miller asked that their cases
go over until they had given testimony be-
lore Commissioner Pratt but this was re-
fused, 1t being part of the plan laid ont
by the city officials to defeat the conviction
OF the gamblers by convicting the witnesses
hrst and thus weaken their evidence
Soon after the arrest of Meller and Hill
the gamblers who were already under
charges before Commissioner Pratt. vera
also taken in by the city police. and when
Melier and Hill appeared before Justice
Gee, yesterday, they pleaded not guilty but
were not little Surprised when they were
confronted by the gam lers who were held
as witnesses against them. The gamblers
testified that Meller and Hill had b9tb
gamoled that night to the extent of
lew dollars, and Justice Gee found them
guilty, imposing q fine Of $50 each. from
which decision they appealed. Meller nor
Hin gave no evidence; but it is claimed
that when the case reaches the upper
court, the evidence necessary to clear
them will be forthcoming.
The case against the professional gam
blers was then formally dismissed. so far az
the city is concerned; but they will he
compelled TO face the charge before Com
missioner Pratt to-day.
1t IS one of the most outrageous proceed-
lngs In the annals of any community.
Here are city officials who, since it is q
matter OF common knowledge, must know
that gambling is being carried on under
their very eyes. And although it is their
sworn duty to suppress it, they not oplv
refrain from doing it but hinder those who
from whatever motive il NAV berry m
enforce the law, in the execution of that
design. In effect they say We will not
arrest gamblers and other violators of the
law, though that be our duty, and if the
United States marshal does, we will do all
we can TO protect the law breakers and de-
feat the ends Of Justice"
