THE BARDSLEY INQUIRY.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept 19.-At this
mornings session of the legislative COM
mittee investigating the affairs and books
of the state treasurer and state auditor
generals offices, Mr.. McCamant, auditor
general, was subjected to rigid exanina-
tion. In answer 20 the question as to why
Bsrdsley had been permitted to retain the
liquor license money long after it was due
the state, the auditor general said that he
had frequently pressed Bardsley for a set
Element, but was put off with excuses
from time to time. The auditor general
denied emphatically that he had any
knowledge of Bardsley's collecting state
taxes and holding the money in banks for
his own use He stated most emphatically
that there was no arrangement between
Bardsley and himself regarding the state
funds, nor between Barlsley and any
agent of his. and that he derived no polit-
ical or personal gain.
a letter from Cashier Livesy, dated Nov.
90, 1899 was read. 1t told Bardsley that
he need only send $25. 900 and allow the
rest to remain until December, and that
there would be no necessity for withdraw
ing it from the Peoples bank of Philadel-
phia until it had finished paying it's inter
est accounts. Mr. McCamant said that
he did not know anything about this let
ter, but said that the penmanship looked
like Livesy's. He said that neither Livesy
nor any agent of BaPdsley's bad ever given
him money in any shape, and that there
was no agreement of any sort.

In September the boards may be thrown

paratory to bleaching, and perhaps
blanched by the use of the same boards,
setting one line on each side of the
row, thus encasing the plants between
two upright boards so that only the top
leaves are sticking out above. The
boards employed for shading will, of
course, be enough for half the patch
only. The other half may be bleached
in the same manner, either by using
more boards or by using these boards a
second time, after the first half of the
patch has been sufficiently bleached for
use and is taken up. Otherwise the
second half may be bleached by earth

ESSENTIAL TO GROWTH.

Some of the Advantages of Applying Lime
to the Soil.
Lime is an essential to plant growth,
but only small quantity is required,
and it is rarely necessary to apply for
this especial purpose,
The principal advantage in applying
lime to the soil is that it tends to make
the plant food already in the soil avail
able. Wheat requires considerable
nitrogen to make the best growth and
yield, and lime applied on the majority
of soils tends to make this essential
element available. 1t can Often be APP
piled to land intended TO be sown TO
wheat with profitable results, but TO
keep applying lime and getting rid of
the nitrogen in this way often proves
injurious to the soil in the end, especial
ly if no material is applied that con-
tains good per cent. of nitrogen TO
take its place.
Lime is also valuable for decompos-
ing vegetable matter in the soil. Ono
Of the best plans of using is to apply
broadcast before plowing under clover
or other green crops, especially if the
land is to be seeded to wheat.
On stiff clay soil lime can often be
used bencfcially helping to make it
more loose aud friable.
When used as fertilizer, or rather
to help make plant food in the soil
available, it should be applied broad
cast over the surface after blowing and
then worked into the soil with IA har-
row or cultivator short time before
sowing the seed.
In some cases lime may be applied TO
land intended to be sown TO grass Ii
is also valuable for cabbage and corn,
especially when a good application of
fresh, coarse manure has been given.
Just how much can be used must be de-
termined by the condition of the soil
and the cost of the lime, Prairie

RURAL BREVITlES.

CAREFUL observation throughout an
extended portion of almost any of our
best farming districts will show that
not one farmer in ten exercises due
care in the management of the manure
produced, even allowing it to go to
waste while buying commercial ferti-
lizers to take its place.
IT is good thing to be systematic
Teach your boys this. Let them be-
gin by keeping a record of everything
of the weather, of the work done on
the farm, the loads taken in of each
crop harvested, the cost of everything
bought or used, and the inco me from
the sales made. 1t is a good practice.
WHEN commencing to feed out the
village this fall keep in mind that to OBJ
tain the best results it should not be
fed alone. Combine it with clover hay
and you have an excellent coarse
fodGer. Then for your cattle, and for
making milk and beef, use in con-
nection with this bran, shorts, corn
meal, etc.
TnE Chinese are the best gardeners
in the world, not even excepting the
Germans, The reason for this is that
they count all labor well speut that
adds an iota to the richness of the soil.
They save fertilizers and manurcs of
all sorts with a methodical care that is
wholly unknown to our advanced agri-
culture,
RooT crops cannot be considered di.
rectly as fat or flesh producing, but
they make an agreeable change of diet
and are valuable to use in connection
with more concentrated foods, such as
corr, bran, OF meal, etc. Consisting
mostly of water, they have a loosening
tendency that must be counteracted
with heavier fovd.
IT is conceded that when a COW has
good pastnrage in summer she should
produce more milk and butter than
wht fed on dry food in the winter,
but at all seasons of the year the cows
shoald have proportion of grain;

EARLY RISING.
How to Enjoy Nature in Her Brightest

How to Enjoy Nature in Her Brightest
Aspect.
Every circumstance contributes to
render early rising advisable to those
who are in the enjoyment of health.
There is no time equal in beauty and
freshness to the morning, when nature
has just parted with the gloomy mantle
which night had flung over her, and
stands before us like young bride,
from whose aspect the veil which GOV.
cred hor loveliness has been withdrawn.
The whole material world has a vivify-
ing appearance. The farmer is up at
his labor; the forest leaves sparkle
with drops of crystal dew; the flowers
raise their rejoicing heads towards the
sun; the birds pour forth their anthems
of gladness, and the wide face of
creation itself seems as If awakened
and refreshed by mighty slumber.
All these things. however, are hid
from the eyes of the sluggard nature
in her most glorious aspect is to him a
sealed book, and, while every scene
around him is full of beauty, interest
and animation. he alone is passionless
and uninspired. Behold him stretched
upon his couch of restl In vain does
the cock proclaim that the reign of day
has commenced! In vain does the
morning light stream fiercely in by the
chinks of the window! He hears not,
he sees not, for blindness and deafness
rule over him with desperate sway and
lay desdening spell upon his facul-
ties. And when at length he does
awake, far on In the day. from
the torpor of his benumbing
sleep, he is not refreshed. He
does not start at once into
new life-an altered man, with Joy in
his mind and vigor in his frame. On the
contrary, he is dull, languid and stupid,
as if half-recovered from paroxysm of
drunkenness, He yawns, stretches
himself and stalks into the breakfast
parlor to partake, in solitude and with
out appetite, of his unrefreslfing meal,
while his eyes are red, his beard un-
shorn and his clothes disorderly and i'll
put on. Uncleanliness and sluggishness
generally go hand in hand, for the OBJ
tuseness of mind which disposes man
to waste the most precious hours of his
existence in debasing sleep will nat
urally make him neglect his person. =,

When Protected from the Sun the Plant

The greatest obstacle to healthy,

set out in permanent bed or yet to be

CATION Perhaps we can manage to
provide shade by setting our plants in
row ON the north side of row of
corn or other tall growths, or in the
center between two rows of trees in
an orchard of from two to four years
planting. A row of white plume celery
in my garden, planted out early in
June and having the benefit of a very
slight shading by row Of tall-growing
peas, has done better than another
planted in full exposure. My later
celery (for winter and spring use) is
given very effective shading by
means of boards set on edge along the
west side of the rows at an angle of
fifty or fifty-five degrees, as shown in
accompanying sketch. The rows in my
garden are north and south, which is
owing to the ''lay of the land" |
