HELPFUL HINTS.

Only n few wears ago the roller was in poor
rcpute as n farming tool. 1t was lhought mat
rolling the land packed the SOIL 100 closely Tor
the good ofthe young plants. But the farmers
ideas on this subject nave changed once
thought the soil. especially for garden crops,
should be freshly plOwed AID as loose as posi-
ble buf some crops which | expected TO do
the best when planted on land previously plOw
cd and prepared in this way failed. but did
well on compact soil. AS result | am inclin-
ed TO believe that most, and perhaps all, crops
will do better on land rolled after blowing and
if thisis so the roller is invaluable. Many
Michigan farmers now follow the plOw at once
with the roller unless IL is very wet, when of
course the rolling should be DELAYED. | always
use the roller on sod because IL pushes the sod
down into its place, leaving the fine soil on top
where il belongs instead Ofr0lling IL down be-
tween the burrows as the harrow does, leaving
the turf on top.
TheAylesbury duck is highly commended
by an English paper as the best bred duck in
existence Selection and feeding are said to
have made them absolutely perfect. The same
management of any OF our breeds Of domestic
animals VIII result equally favorable In their
improvement. The flesh Ofducks can be great
" improved by feeding celery tops cut fine and
mixed with corn meal by means OF scalding
water fora week before killing them. Ducks
for the table should be shut up IN clean pers
and fed only fine favored food.
In marking out the kitchen garden il is just
as easy to plant all the vegetables in long,
straight rows, wide enough to run horse Gull
tivator, as in little patches. The ease Of the
work afterwards pays big dividends. Run the
horse through every week and hoe out the
weeds between the hills, which keeps the
weeds entirely out of sight, besides giving a
more thorough cultivation than hand hoe
could.
During the spring rains ifevery man would
keep an oversight on the road where it borders
mis- farm, using only a hoe to turn of water
from the roadbed and remove the loose stones,
the travelling through the year would be much
better and the road bills greatly lessened.
The man who plowed his ground last TALL
and put what manure onto 1t In the winter
could be spared, can soon drag IN his oats and
have this work all done before his neighbors
have plowed. And this process brings the best
kind of a crop, too.

TO CONTROL THE TRADE

An Arrangement to Maintain the Rate on
Bituminous Coal
1t has been freely charged that all efforts
heretofore to maintain rates in the bitumin-
Gus coal trade west of Pittsburg have been
thwarted by the attitude of the Columbus,
Hooking Valley and Toledo Railroad Com
pany. This company has professed to be
willing to make agreements to main
tain rates, but has said that it
could not control its producers 1T is ex-
pected that the recent discussion will re-
suit in the formation of an agreement
among the local producers in which event
the Hooking Valley will no longer have an
excuse for creating disturbances of rates.
The main provisions of the proposed agree.
ment, as telegraphed from New York, are
to form an independent association among
the producers of coal on the line of each
railroad company, the association to regu-
late the apportionment of coal among its
members and to place each member
under a bond which will exact heavy
penalty should they violate any of the
agreements of the association, the associa-
tion to elect q representative to a central or
ganization, the central organization to
make all sales and to allot to the associa-
tion on each railroad an amount in proper
tion to their tonnage in 1898. Every rail-
road to carry and produce the amount
allotted or transfer back to the central
organization any part of its allotment which
it cannot produce or carry, this to be
divided pro rata among the other roads

A s1x-roor RUNNING CARD.
The New Fire Alarm System Will Be Rad,
for Operation in a Month.

The New Fire Alarm System Will Be R"ady
for Operation in Month.
The new system Of fire alarm boxes which
has been in preparation for three months
will be ready for operation in about q
month. The work of constructing 80 new
circuits to replace the eight old ones has
been completed, and nothing remains to be
done except to put in the additional ma
chinery required and change the registers
and numbers in the boxes.
The new system could be put into opera
tion in ten days or two weeks, but for the
running card. 1t is in the hands of the
printers but is such difficult job that it
will require another month to finish. Hereto
fore q card three feet square has been large
enough, but with the new system it will be
over SIX feet in width and of about the same
length as the old ones Superintendent
Morris Mead says it will be most complete,
showing not only the number of engines
which must respond to each alarm, but the
patrol wagons, hook and ladder trucks and
chemical engines as we'll. A feature
which will be given special attention under
the new arrangement will be the protec-
tion of any section where there may be
fire by bringing engines in from other dis
tricts for use in emergency. Frequently,
during big fire under the present system
nearly ali the engines are ordered to it,
and the rest of the city is left unprotected.
1t is proposed to so arrange the service
that such thing cannot occur hereafter.

GAVE MURPHY FIVE DOLLARS.

About 100 Sign the Pledge at Lafayette
HaIl-A Number of Speeches Made by
Those Who Have Reformed-The Meet
ings to Continue.
Lafayette Hall was crowded last night
for Francis Murphy's meeting. About 100
pledges were signed. The meeting was
full of interesting experiences. A man
half full of liquor jumped up at one stage
of the proceedings and proposed three
cheers for Mr. Murphy and his work. The
cheers were not given, but the whole audi
ence applauded loudly. The man then said
he believed in the sincerity of the men in
the movement, and he walked up to the
stage and handed Murphy $5 to help cover
the expenses He also put on blue ribbon
and signed the pledge, but his name was
withheld from publication. Some halt q
dozen men who had signed the pledge in
the past two weeks and kept it made short
addresses, in which they professed their
ability to stay sober through the influence
of the Murphy pledge. "Shorty" Long
was one of these, having signed last Satur-
day.
j. NJ. Kelly spoke. He saio he recog-
nized two classes of people in these meet
ings-those who came for sympathy and
those who came in sympathy with the work.
Both were wanted, needed and welcomed.
Mr. Kelly, Mr. Murphy and Prof
Weeden went to Mansfield yesterday after
noon, held a good meeting and secured
about 1OU pledge signers Mr.. Kelly be-
came interested in one of the men in at
tendance, who wanted to go to the Kelley
Institute, and he provided him the means
and took him there last night.

but one of extraordinary length. Beside
the giant who had collided with the
chandelier was a slender, good-looking girl
only few inches shorter than her cavalier.
The giant bent over and told Captain HieJ
ber that he wanted a marriage license for
himself, James Gilbert, and Miss Emma
Mossman, the lady BY his side, There be-
ing nothing extraordinary about them but
their height, which was evidently over
seven feet, and Mr. Gilbert having de-
clared he was 26 and the lofty lady having
blushingly murmured that she was q, the
license was'issued. They will be married
to-day at 4 P. M. at Harry Davis Eden
Musee, and probably Magistrate McKenna
will make them one.
