Wheat Sowing.

The Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station has for several years been in
vestigating such problems in wheat
culture as the quantity of seed per
acre, the depth of seeding, drilling
versus broadcasting, the mixing OF
different varieties, cross-drilling and
the use of the roller press. The
average results favor sowing at the
rate of five to seven pecks per acre
of thoroughly cleaned seed, and SOW
ing this not to exceed two inches
deep. In favorable seasons broad7
cast seeding has produced about is
large a crop as drilling, but if Che
seeding season be hot and dry, drill
ing is likely 10 give the best results.
No advantage has yet been discover
ed in the mixing of different varie-
ties. There has been a slight increase
of crop where the wheat was cross
drilled, the same quantity of wheat
being used in each case. This in.
crease may be partly due to the more
thorough pulverization Of the soil ac-
complished by the double drilling.
The roller press-a wheel following
each hoe Of the drill-has not in
creased the yield sufficiently TO war
rant its use.

Who PAYS the Tariff 7

A cigar manufacturer at Grand
Island, Nebraska, addressed the
following letter to Mr.. Mckinley
during his recent canvass of that
state. He desired information very
much, but as yet Mr.. Mckinley has
not been heard from. The letter is
as follows:
GRAND ISLAND, NEB., August 3,
1S92.-MY DEAR MCKINLEY: / see
by the Associated Press that in your
great speech at Beatrice you assured
the people that the foreigner paid
the tariff taxes, and presuming that
you know what you are talking
about, l address you for the purpose
of gaining a little information. This
last week received a bale of Suma-
ira tobacco used for cigar wrappers.
The bale weighed 1O2 pounds. The
bill for this bale of imported tobac-
co was $415.60. The cost of the
tobacco alone was $91.60. The tar
if taxes at So per pound as fixed
by your bill, known as the McKin-
ley bill, was 1924, making a total
cost of $415.60. You say the for
eigner pays the tariff tax, and as
this 1924 tariff tax has been charg-
ed up to me in the bill from the
wholesale tobacco house, erroneous
ly according to your statement, the
information l desire is this, where
can l find the foreigner whose duty
it is to pay this 1924 tariff? Iwant
to draw on him, at sight, for the
amount. By giving me this desir-
ed information, you will confer a
great favor on one of the protected
cigar makers of America. With great
respect, L am sir, yours truly,
HENRY SCHLoTrFELDF.

marvellous. A certain composition

MEXICO "Is IT."
The Shert Line TO be Extended From
Hannibal-Mexieo SheuId flo
After il in Earnest.
From the Hannibal Courier.


The further extension of the st.
Louis, Hannibal & Kansas City Rail-
road will be inaugurated in few
days now. Next week Chief Engin-
eer Dubois will so over several routes
from Perry south and west. After
a thorough examination of the routes,
he will run several preliminary sur
yeys to determine the easiest and
cheapest route to construct.
Reniek, Mexico and Centralia are
after the extension and they are work
ing for it in earnest. Letters are re-
ceived from one or more of these
places daily and in some of them
committees have been appointed to
assist in securing the road. We are
unable to say which will get it, and
in fact, the management is thorough
ly at sea in the premises and will be
until Engineer Dubois has complet-
ed his preliminary survey.
The extension, although now but
thirty miles in length, has been a
material benefit to Hannibal. This
statement no one will attempt to
gainsay. How much more benefit
will it be when it is extended to a
connection with the Wabash at one
or more points.

THERE is one famous swindling
scheme which will probably go on
forever. No matter how often he is
exposed the European claim agent
will continue to do business at the
same old stand. If one is arrested
and imprisoned another will throw
open the shutters of the deserted Of
fee before the clang of the prison
doors has ceased echoing. 1t is
such a pleasing swindle. Every
mothers SON of us mas notion that
he is descended from an Irish king
or that one of his ancestors was
knighted on the field of Hastings
by William the Norman, or that he
is lineally descended from one OF
Oliver Cromwell's generals. When
an American gets a letter, therefore,
announcing that he is the long lost
heir to lord or earl so-and-so's es-
tate the information, in nine cases
out of ten, carries conviction with
it. The person addressed has long
felt his superiority to the rest OF the
race. The feeling is now explained.
He has noble blood in his veins. II
only costs $50 to begin proceedings,
and fortune is in sight. And,
strange to say, after the London
agent is proved to be a swindler, the
victim still has kindly feelings fol
him and believes that the rogue
was more than half right after all.

THE gambler who shot himself and
fell dead at the feet of PrinceFerdi
nand at Monaco committed suicide in
the most impressive and justifiable
manner possible. The prince makes
an enormous income from his
gambling tables, which he enjoys in
the most sumptuous manner Liv-
ing in his magnificent palace, or
cruising in the Mediterranean on
his yacht, he enjoys the plunder of
his victims without being annoyed
by their misery. This latest suicide
spattered his brains at the very feet
of the prince and princess, while the
latter were being feted by the at
taches of the Casino and such other
subjects as have cause to bless their
reign. Thus for once were the dis
play of i'll gotten wealth and its
resultant misery brought face to

MExICO'S SEWERAGE.
No Question But What the System
Adopted VIII be Adequate-It
Is the Same That Mem.
phis, Tenn, Has -
Some Points Of
Interest.


are interested in the sewerage sys-
tenn just adopted by our City Coun-
Gil upon which work will shortly be-
gin. Mayor Lupton and City Engi-
neer Rodgers examined the Clinton,
Mo-, system and find it is just what
we want. 1t is the same system
used in Memphis, Tenn, city of
75, 600 inhabitants. A year or so
ago the Engineer of Memphis issued
circular containing some valuable
facts in reference to this system of
sewerage and we excerpt from this
circular some points which will
show the readers of the LEDGER that
there is no question but what the
system adopted is all right. Mem
phis, Tenn. has 42a miles of sewer;
four miles are main. The mains are
10, II, Is and 20 inches in diameter
and empty into a bayou and the
district sewers are6, s and 10 inches.
The mains for the most part are laid
with grade of six inches to each
100 feet. The district sewers have
a grade of six inches to the 100 feet.
AT the upper end of each district
sewer is located a flush tank and
the system has main holes distribut-
ed along the mains. No surface
waters are permitted to enter the
sewers, the system being for the
purpose of house sewerage only.
The house drains are four inches in
diameter and are cast iron. The
six inch pipes, although draining
houses on each side of the street, in
some instances for a distance as
much as 5000 feet, have never been
overcharged and have never been
found one-half full. There is no
danger from sewer gas and the sew
ers are believed to be comparatively
free from it. Some of the six inch
pipes occasionally become obstruct-
ed by sticks or bones, all of which
are easily removed at a very slight
cost. Some obstacles which may
gather in the mains are easily re-
moved by the passage of a hollow
metal ball through them. The
balls are smaller than the sewers
and lighter than water and are
pressed against the top of the sewer
and are rolled along by the force of
the current. The ball moving slower
than the water the water is DETECTED
against the bottom and sides, cleans
ing them thoroughly. 1t costs
much less to keep these sewers
open than it does the very large
ones. Observations show the great
est depth of flow in the 20 inch
main at 10 a. m. to be 121a inches
and flow at 2 a. m. 8 inches. This
system of sewerage gives entire sat
isfaction to the government and cit
izens generally of the city of Mem
phis, Tenn. At the time this cir
cular was issued there were 49,
600 connections of various kinds
made to the system.

A Battle of Shots.
From the Centralia Courier.


Tuesday evening the air appeared
sulphurious and hazy. Everything
indicated that somewhere near by a
pitch battle had been fought. We'd
nesday the story told by the atmos-
pheric disturbances was confirmed
1t seems that two redoubtable war
riors, Ben Burton and Neil Riley,
both of Audrain, had met upon the
highway in Sailing township and
proceeded to puncture the air with
deadly balls. Which fired first we
could not learn, but some seven shots
were interchanged without any per-
ceivable damage to either COM
batant. Tt is said that neighbors
then came to the rescue and the bat
tie was declared off. The trouble
seems to be an old feud. We under.
stand the black flag is up and more
atmospheric disturbances may be
looked for.

Strange Bed.FelIOWs.

The spectacle of Gen. Weaver,
presidential candidate ofthe Peoples
party, making a fusion with the Re-
publican leaders in Alabama is in
teresting to degree. Gen. .Weaver's s
party is organized upon the theory
that both the old parties are corrupt.
1t maintains that neither should be
intrusted with the administration of
national affairs. 1t is opposed to the
Republican party on nearly every
national issue. The Democratic par
ty does not go far enough on most
questions and wholly fails to meet
the views of the alliance party on
the silver question.
In Nebraska and Kansas Gen.
Weaver's adherents have fused with
the Democrats. In those states the
cry is: Anything to beat the Re-
publicans." But south of the Mason
and Dixon's line, where Democratic
maiorities are as familiar as the cot
ton crop, the scene changes. There
the Republicans and Weaverites
come together and write upon their
banners: "Anything to beat the
Democrats.
The facility with which in one state
Gen. Weaver makes a bed-fellow of
one party and in another bed-fellow
of the other party, while his own
party is based on the assertion that
neither of the old parties is fit to be
trusted with the control of national
affairs, is little confusing. But he
may pick up the electoral vote of Ne
braska and perhaps of other states
by the process.
And, be it remembered, everything
Gen. Weaver may happen to get in
the way of electoral votes is clear
gain for the General.

THE st. Louis Republic tells the
people of st. Louis not to get scared
about the cholera, but to "keep cool
and keep clean.' This is good ad-
vice, no matter whether the cholera
is in sight or not. If it takes chol-
era to get the people of this country
to keep cool and clean we have
perhaps discovered some reason for
the occasional visits of this dreaded
scourge. The people of Mexico keep
cool and clean without even advice.

Mistaken Ideals.
From Harper's s Bazaar.

The ideal woman of every man is
the "womanly woman" The ideal
man of every woman is the ''manly
man." And the expression ga wo-
manly woman" means pretty much
the same to every man who uses it,
just as the "manly man" of one wo-
man expresses a certain combination
of qualities we'll known to every 9TH
er woman.
The mans "womanly woman" is
gentle, amiable, quiet and domestic.
She loves to sit upon low chair and
hem things, with the lamp-light fall
ing over her hair. tits unnecessary
to say that although in theory this
is the sort Of woman man prefers,
in practice he may choose one en-
tirely her opposite. She does not ex-
list in large quantities, which is lucky,
as she might prove dreadfully in
sipid if she did.
The woman's "manly man" means
man strong, brave and daring. He
must perform easily bold deeds
which she dare not attempt. She
likes that-in dreams. In actual
life she may find that man neither
daring nor bold has satisfactory and
endearing qualities which make him
more after her heart than the ideal OF
her dreams could ever be.
We are not all alike, thank
Heaven! but various. And the
spark of originality which is implant-
ed in each of us all is the thing to
cherish and develop, and not distort
ourselves into ideal forms.

Judge Milsouri-lti is unnecessary
for argument to-day, as we have heard
both sides thoroughly discussed dur

Judge Missouri-Mr. Warner, dc
you remember the days of Republi-

Warner-Your honor. / do.
Judge Missouri-You know all
about the time when American citi-
zens were compelled to take the test
oath before entering any kind OF
business?
Warner-Your honor, l do.
Judge Missouri-You have held

Warner-Your honor, | have.
Judge Missouri-Did you fill an
office that a Democrat was duly elect
ed to?
Warner-O Lord, my sins have
found me out. Your honor, l did.
Judge Missouri-Warner, years
ago your party was in power in this
State and you ranked among the
leaders. While in power you ruin
ed the credit of the State, you ex-
pended too much of the peoples
funds, you compelled American citi-
zens to take the test oath, which
proved to be outrageous and uncon-
stitutional; you held office; Rodman
burned the votes of another in order
to place you in possession of the Of

dom of the people at the polls. You

means the overthrow of the greatest
