THE PRESIDENTIAL VOTE.

The Total Vote Of tn. Cou try IN tbs
Three Leading Preside tIsi Candidates
The returns from the various states
at the late presidential election show n
total vote of ii,s2s, 066, not including
the prohibition vote. which will swell
the total to over L.. 600. 900 votes.
In the tabulated returns below Mr..
Cleveland apparently had no supporters
In Colorado. Kansas, Idaho. Nevada,
Oregon and Wyoming. but this was the
result Of political maneuvcring by which
the democratic votes Of those states
were cast for the peoples party ticket
In Nebraska the Cleveland vote appears
very small. but this was due Ia the fact
that requests were sent out to the dem
ocrats to vote for Weaver and over co.
900 of them undoubtedly obcyed the
instructions The votes Of the states
named which cast presidential ballots
for Cleveland in lsss were rs follows:
Colorado. S7.567; Kansas, i0a, RS; Ne
vada. 5. $40. and Oregon, NJ, 5ss. In is9O
the democratic votes in Idaho were
5000 and in Wyoming 6.ai9.
Ths popular vote in the election of

TRADE RATS.
Arizona Rodents that Give an Equiv
alent for Wheat They Steal.

Arizona Rodents that Give an Equiv
alent for Wheat They Steal
A miner near the Senator recently
had a rather singular experience with
trade rats, known also as mountain
rats, says the Prescott Courier. AS
the nights were cold the miner took
his ore sack to replenish his rather
hard bed. Having neglected to coz,e
to town for several weeks his supp.r
OF beans had given out, and he hao
come down TO diet OF straight ba-
con.
Considerably out ofhumor, he start
ed in to pull his bed to pieces one
m orning and in removing the sacks
was agreeably surprised to find three
pounds Of beans with a little coffee
mixed, which the trade rats had
brought from the Senator and stored
in his bed.
The rats are native Americans and
very different from their imported
Norway cousins. They are called
trade rats because they generally
leave an article IN exchange for what
Iney Take away. Inc miner STATES
that he never killed trade rat; that
these rodents habitually steal from
one cabin and carry their plumber
into an adjoining one; that on one oc-
casion he spilled a couple of quarts of
corn on the floor OF his cabin and the
next morning found the rats had
stored every grain of it in a pair of
saddlebags hanging upon the wall
He also states that they have thick
caudal appendages about three inches
in length, which they keep constantly
throwing up and down, striking the
floor with each downward movement
with the regular, measured stroke of a
musical professor marking time. They
carry off plugs of tobacco, tooth
brushes, combs, and brushes-in fact,
anything which they can manage to
move.

Short Rows.

To winter leeks, dig, remove dead

store in trenches like celery.
Resolve and plan and do better
farming next year than you did this.
Let progress be your WatchWord.
To be successful in farming as much
system and forethoughtis required as
for any other occupation.
{ Celery should not be handled when
frosted. Let it thaw out in the
ground and dig it only when dry.
Charcoal where the fattening swine
can get it at will is a good thing. It
keeps down acidity OF the stomach
and promotes digestion.

Watch your farm expenses and be
sure that your incom always exceeds
your expenditure In order to know
your standing, you will have to keep
an account book, OF course.
Ifyour barn has big knot holes or

them, for sufficient air for ventilation
can get in from warmer sides. Keep
the stock warm and it will save feed.

Went by Contraries,

A smart little woman got into the
street car the other day with baby
in her arms, says the Ark ansaw TRAY
eler. 1t lay as still as lamb. Soon
however: it changed it's course.
1t began q loud tune. The mother
took the baby and stood it straight
up i'll her lap. Ityelled just the same.
She Rugged it too her bosom. 1t yelled
right along. She str oked it and soothed
it. Still louder yells. She boxed it's
ears. Prolonged and spasmodic yells.
She then changed her plans. She
cleared a space all around, set the
baby down, loosened the bands about
neck, gaveit plenty of room and then
said, III. her most persuasive tone:
Now, dearie, let it 60 as loud
as you can"
Baby never uttered a sound.
II thought you wouldn't she said.
She took it up in her lap, the gentle
men resumed their seats and the car
trundled on.

A MOUND BUILDERS IDOL.

Figure OF Kneeling Man Dug From
Mound in Arkansas.
The State Historical Society was en-
riched by an image OF pottery sup
posed to be an idol OF some prehistor-
ic race, probable the Mound Builders.
The idol was found near Aron, In
dependence County, lark, and was
dug from a, mound by relic hunters
along with number Of decayed hu-
man bones, copper arrow heads and
broken domestic utensils. It is the
property Of G. w. Hume, of Stras-
burg, Mo.
The idol is seven inches in height by
five inches in diameter. 1t is rudely
constructed having evidently been
formed by hand, or at best very crude
tools, from common clay, and after
ward hardened by being dried in the
sun.
The idol represents human figure
in a kneeling posture, the arms ex-
tending at the side. The features are
rudely formed, yet Notwithstanding
this are not altogether repulsiye, the
nose being gracefully acquiline and the
lips we'll formed. The ears are missing,
but the remnants show that they were
adorned with rings. The body is
.tsquatty" and might be said TO re-
semble toad. At the top Of the
head there is a hole which seems to
have served a. purpose, probably that
Ct fastening head dress to the figure
The image would hardly catalogued
with the works OF art, but it is never.
theless an interesting relic.
The race, whose diety was represent
ed by. this clumsy bit Of clay, inhabi-
ted the Mississippi Valley from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf at time to
which the traditions of man runneth
not. Who they were, where they came
from, what their manner of life was,
is all mystery. True, many mounds,
excavations, and burying grounds OF
this lost people have been discovered,
but 50 far they have given but little
OF their history. That they lived and
died before the race OF American In.
dians existed is proven..by thefact that
the traditions of the latter race con
tain no references to this lost people,
although their mounds and relics are
mentioned. Many mounds of this
kind are found in Missouri, Illinois,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, and Indl.
ana, and a few have been discovered
in nearly all OF the States in the Miss
issippi Valley Topeka Capital.

Two little bootblacks stood looking
wlstfully in the show window of a

all the tough ways and bad habits Of
their class. They wanted to smoke,
and their eyes were bent upon a box

HE NODDED TOO OFTEN.
And the Stout Lady Got Mad About
it and Made TROUBLE.

He got on the car at Green street
and sat down opposite q stout wom-
an in a long plush cloak. He looked
at her a few minutes and then he nod
ded. She modestly gazed in another
direction for awhile, and when she
turned her head again he greeted her
with another friendly nod. She
blushed little then and looked atten-
lively down III her lap at her pocket
book, but when she raised her eyes
presently he bobbed his head forward
again.
When he did it the fourth time the
passengers all commenced to smile,
and an angry CLEAN appeared in her
blue eyes. Had he been wise he would
have let well enough alone, but he
wasn't, so he yentured Of the fifth and
even on the sixth sign of recognition.
By that time the gleam in her eyes
had increased tenfold in intensity, and
arising from the seat she stood before
him. The car iolted and rocked from.
side to side, but the power of her am
ger upheld her, and she stood firm as
mountain.
''Slr!'' she exclaimed, what do you
mean by nodding at me SO often?n

He got off, and as he stood in the
street to let the car go by he looked
once more at her Indignant ladyship,
but he didn't nod.

A Subsoiling Experiment.

AS we have often suggested, every
farm ought to be to some extent an
experiment station. The facts learned
in this way are doubly valuable first,
because they stimulate the mind of
the experimenter, and, second, be-
cause the discoveries made have a di-
rect local bearing. Experiments made
at a station may or may not indicate
what is needed on a particular farm;
but experiments on that farm, if in
diligently conducted, show what can
be done right there on that Identical
piece of land.
And one of the experiments that it
would be we'll to make would be that
of subsoil blowing. There is a wide
difference OF opinion among intelligent
farmers AS to this matter. Some are
strongly opposed to it as not only
useless but actually injurious, while
others with equal insistence maintain
that it is essential to the best results
in farming.
Both, no doubt, are right, but are
| ICeUSO14AlisS IL OlIl oulCIC1lC JULIUS Oh
view. Some soils require subsoiling,
others do not, and that is the simple
basis OF the difference of opinion with
regard to it.
But it cannot always bedetermined,
without trial, whether any particular
soil will be benefited by subsoiling or
not. And here comes in the local APP
pllcatlon OF the experiment station
idea.
A method Of doing this, as suggested
by the secretary Of the Kansas State
Board OF Agriculture, is as follows:
Plow and subsoil two or three strips
about two rods wide, from sixteen to
twenty inches deep, across the field
selected for the experiment, and let
the remainder OF he6eld be plowed to
the usual depth and not subsoiled.
The surface preparation of both
should be the same before planting.
Then plant the entire field at once,
OF in sections, but so that each plant
ing will cover at the same time the sub
soiled and unsubsoiled parts,
and give exactly the same culti-
vation to the entire field while the
crop is growing. Keep careful rec
ord OF the varying conditions OF the
weather and note the differences, if
any, in the growth of the plants, and,
after harvesting, the difference in the
yield and euantitY OF the grain.
By such am experiment. as this the
utility OF subsoding ON his own land
may be practically aseertained by
every farmer. 1t tsae difference in the
amount and quality of the crop should
not be great enough to pay for the in
creased cost of snbsoiling allthe theo-
rizing in the world will not Justify the
expense. But the operation has SO
often proved o source of increased
profit that no farmer should be salts
