TIDY UP THE FARM.
Work That Requires But Little Time and
Pays Well.

Work That Requires But Little Time and
Pays Well.
In travelling through the country,
when tidy-looking farm is passed,
with fences in good order, buildings
looking neat and trim, trees trimmed
and clean, we know the resident is a
person who takes pride and interest in
his farming, and that it pays him to do
it. 1t takes but few days each year
to keep the brush cut away from the
fences, to nail up a board here and
there that may have become loosened,
TO keep the fences up straight, with no
weak places to tempt stock to press
through into the owners or neighbors'
fields of grain or grass, to put the i'm
plements under shelter when not in use,
TO pick up boards lying about the barn
and house, to trim the fruit trees and
cut out all dead or dying branches, to
NOW the lawn at least once each year,
TO arrange all gates so that they will
freely swing on their hinges, to have a
well-kept garden, good supply of
small fruit, the pump in good working
order, a good supply of dry wood under
shelter, to keep the roadsides moved
and bushes cut down, to keep the out
let of expensive underdrains open, to
clean out all open bitches, to look after
the stock frequently. All these things
take but little time, and they increase
the cash value of the farm. If you
have, in the past, neglected these
things, resolve that you will reform,
and that strangers, in passing your
door, may at least mentally say: "A
good farmer resides therel" Possibly
it will not allow as many leisure hours
ut the corner grocery, but others will
take your place there, and you are add
ing to the worth of your earthly possess
sions. and to your standing as man.

IMPROVED CORN CRIB.

rior into four distinct cribs sx14H
feet each, with a capacity of about $50
bushels.
The floor joists, extending on either
side, form feet wide platforms upon
which four chutes operate. two on either
side. These platforms are approached
by stairs as shown in the cut.
Mr.. Bradley claims that his corn
crib is absolutely rat proof. Beneath
its floor are hog shelters, and hogs and
rats, like oil and water, are hostile prop
critics.
On either side of this corn crib are
hog pens 20x30 feet. A hot feed room
containing a cauldron and glucose
tank is annexed to it, but for the sake
of showing details, it is not shown in
the cut A good well is not more than
a dozen feet distant, affording facilities

600. If this money were piled up in one
mountain it would cure all the sore
eyes in this country and even relieve in
a great measure the optical defects of
Asia. And all this has accumulated in
less than ninety years. There are half
dozen estates in New York either one
of which pays more taxes than did the
entire population ninety years ago.
This is not mere guess, but is shown
by the records to be fact An
other noteworthy fact is that about
100 individuals and estates own
one-eighth of the entire property
value on Manhattan island. The fig
ures upon which this statement is
made can be found on the assessment
rolls by anyone who takes the trouble
to look them up. The names of the per-
sons who own this vast aggregate are
duly set forth in good legible hand,
with amount of taxes paid by each,
where the doubling may be convinced
The Astors are not the largest tax
payers in the city, as Is often asserted.
This year they will pay taxes on S2l,-

A little episode took place in the district
court room Yesterday afternoon that might
have resulted IN the disarrangement of the
features OF couple of attorneys, but as it
was it merely afforded the iurymen and by
standers a few minutes Of amusement. Tho
case of the state against L. Il, Rowe, charged
with embezzlement was on trial, and
Manager Price OF the Des Moines office of
the firm of w. S. Edwards & Co., who
claim to have been done upn by Rowe,
was on the stand lie had been testifying
for some time previously, and had undergone
thorough cross-examination by Attorney
Sweet of tho defense. After being excused
from the stand he and County Attorney
Organ engaged in short whispered conver-
sation, ana Organ then recalled him TO the
stand. The first question asked of Price
was objected to by Sweet on tho ground that
the county attorney had no right to post his
witness.
"lf you say have been posting the wit
ness, said Organ, you're a liar.n
Sweet turned pale and jumping up from
his chair made his way around the table
toward Organ, just as he had his fist raised
ana was about to land q right-hander In the
county attorneys neck Bailitf Harrington
stepped IN between him and his Intended
victim.

said Sweet, but Harrington refused to do as
he was asked and the fight was brought to
an abrupt termination. The court made a
few remarks as to the proper way for attor.
neys to conduct themselves in the court
room, and the trial of the case proceeded
without bloodshed on either side.
The case was argued py the attorneys, and
an evening session was held at which the
court read his ins structions and submitted
the case to the jury. After being out about
an hour and a half tho jury returned YER
dict Of not guilty, and Rowe was released.
