FARM NOTES.

After the garden is plowed and har-
rowed it is well to give it a light coat
of green manure.
A common fault among farmers is to
sow turnips too thick, and worse
fault is to neglect to thin them out.
If the corn crop is worth raising it is
also worth saving and feeding out so
that the very best results can be at
tanned
In blowing under a green crop for
fertilizing, even if it is only a crop OF
weeds, care should be taken to turn as
completely under as possible.
Plan and work to grow as large cEops
as possible, but at the same time ar
range to return as nearly as possible to
the soil what you take from it
1t is too often the case on the farms
that no care is taken to keep any ac-
count of the ages of the fowls, and in
consequence too many old hensare kept
As soon - all of the crops in the
garden have matured, a thorough clear
ing up and blowing should be given
and if needed coat of well rotted ma
nure be applied
Geese and ducks should be sheltered
at night now, but they will thrive bet
ter if given the range of a good pasture
during the day. They will not thrive
well in confinement
Sweet potatoes are not SO good If the
vines are left exposed to even very
light frost The tops should be re-
moved and the potatoes left in the
ground a week or ten days longer. but
it is advisable that they be dug in time
to get some good hot sunshine
Now that the busy season will soon
be over, the garden should receive some
attention. Leisure time in October can
be profitably used in the garden. If it
is worked into good shape now 1t viii
not only save time in the spring, but 1t
will insure a much more pleasant and
more prof ia bic cultivation
Before hard frosts the house plants
that need taking up and putting in pots
or boxes should be looked after. Have
the pots or boxes clear and pat in
layer of broken crockery, small pebbles
or something of this kind to give drain
age. Select rich, loaIny soil for them,
as a good growth cannot readily ne Sc
cured without a good supply of plant
food.
If weeds are turned under well before
the sap is gone from them they are al
most as good as manure On a farm
there is usually plenty of manure, but
weeds serve another purpose besides
that OF enriching the soil When they
are piovyed under well they serve 10
keep the soil from packing, and then it
is more readily penetrated by frost If
soil gets plenty of frost it pulverizes
better and does not harbor insect pests

cluster of bushes about thirty feet

AWAY.
About five minutes elapsed. when
there was a frightened exclamation
from the diggers, and hat was pro-
duced, later the badly decomposed re-
mains of man was brought to the
| surface.
MY uncle gave just one look at the
grewsome object then staggered back
with a strange, gasping. hopeless cry,
| and said:
My God, men, is it possib1e?' and
was ever afterward as one in dream.
There were no doubts in the minds
of any concerning the identity of John
Hiram. His clothing, cut across the
face. a fractured skull and lastly a
brass ring in the lobe of the right ear,
which the deceased had been accus-
toned to wear, all went to prove that
this was the missing man; that he had
died from the effect of blow admin
istered. and that he had afterwards
been buried to conceal the crime.
my uncle declared his innocence in
a weak way, was found guilty and SEN
fenced to serve term of thirty years.
He confessed on the stand that from
early childhood he had been a sleep
walker, and that on the morning fol-
lowing the day of John Hiram's disap-
pearance he had found his coat and hat
lying on the veranda. This, he said,
was a strange circumstance, as he in
variably hung these articles of apparel
on the hall rack Therefore my uncle
had become convinced that with
trace of the anger still haunting his
brain and an uncomfortable suspicion
hanging over him, he had arisen in the
night, put his hat and coat OF and
sought the body of the man he had
killed and buried it in the garden.
''My uncle only lived one year of his
sentence and died praying forgiveness
for his terrible sin.
Reginald Hiram went to the war
and was shot before the battle of
Shiloh. accused of being spy.
Zone day shortly after the close Of
the war a man lay dying in a hospital
in st. Louis The deposition he made
created quite furore at the time. He
was the missing John Hiram, and the
terrible revenge on my uncle had been
concocted out of the willy brain of the
older brother.
''On the day SO memorable to my
uncle, and following the chastisement
he had received, John Hiram had
sought the cover of the woods There
the two brothers met quite by acct
dent. Reginald soon heard the injured

Stub Ends of Tboneh.

Don t try to please every body except
yourself.
-he greatest man may be the
meanest.
Courtship is to matrimony what pie
is to corn bread
More men fail by trying to do too
much than by doing teo little.
Love cannot be made to order
1t isn't only an idle brain that is the
devils workshop.
When the skies are blue nobody else
should be.
The man who refuses to pay his just
DEBTS Is too cowardly to steal in any
other way.
NO man was ever saved for what he
had done inside of church.
Hope is the yeast in the bread of life.

No HEAVY Polling-The Democrats, OF
Course, Take What Is in Sight.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla Oct. 5.-The vote
OF the state is hardly as heavy as was
expected. This is accounted for by the
fact that the poll tax requirements kept
down the aggregate of qualificatio in
all parties. Up to IL o'clock full re-
turns had not been received from any
one of the forty-five counties, but pre-
cinct votes furnished good basis for
calculations Mitchell, democrat. has
carried the state by at least %, 900 ma
1ority. though his vote will hardly reach
30. 600. which Is 10000 less than the vote
polled for Fleming, democrat, in 1888.

Collision at Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, Oct. 5.-A street car en-
the Fairmount line was struck by a
train on the Baltimore Sc Ohio South
western railroad, with the result that
two persons were killed, five terribly
wounded and twenty-five passengers
badly shaken up.
The watchman at the crossing is
blamed. He permitted the car to at
tempt to cross the track As it was

platform of the street car, on which
were seven persons
Two of the seven on the platform were
killed, one, aud perhaps two fatally
