of litigation, the many uncertainties
as to the exact amount of shortage
and the doubtful legal questions in

paid and accounts squared.
The above is published by order of
the Township Committee. The actual

Witch-Tree.

A most remarkable tree which
grows near Tuscarora, Nevada, is de-
scribed in the Popular Science News.
The witch-tree, as The superstitious
Indians call it, grows to height of
six or seven feet, with trunk whose
base is three times the size of an
ordinary mans wrist.
1t has numberless branches and
twigs, and resembles somewhat the
barberry indigenous to certain regions
in the Eastern States.
The truly wonderful Characteristic
Of the tree is its luminosity. which is
so great that on the darkest night it
can be plainly seen a mile away. A
person standing near could read the
finest print by it's light. Its foliage
is extremely rank, and it's leaves re-
semble somewhat those of the
aromatic bay-tree of California in
shape, size and color.
The luminous property is due to a
gummy substance, which Can be
transferred to the hand by rubbing,
together with its phosphorescent
light, while the light on the leaf dis
appears The luminosity is thought
to be due to parasitic growth. The
Indians will never approach it, even
in daylight, with such superstitious
awe do they regard its mysterious
light.

Full Swing for Corruption.

It is not likely that there will be any
serious investigation of the gambling
Doodle scandal or any other scandal con-
nected with the present administration
so long as pops are in authority. To
belong to the reform crowd covers a
multitude of sins. A man may be gull
ty of all the crimes on the statute book;
he may be a notorious scoundrel or
blackleg, or he may be an escaped Grim
inal from another state; but SO long as
he belongs to the party and is fool
enough to drive capital out of the state
by howllng calamity, he is safe from
investigation and can count on the
unanimous support of the most hide
bound organization that has ever found
footing in northern state.
Honor, integrity, propriety, decency,
Justice and the law are 80 much dust Of
the balance when party is in the scale.
What spectacle was presented by this
pretended party of reform, built up as
protest against caucus domination,
when Governor Lewelling replied to the
question as to whether he would submit
to the decision of the court, by stating
that that was matter for his party to
decidep Did anybody ever hear of
or even democratic COVER
nor making such an abiect, cringing
surrender of personal independence at
the command of a party caucus? A
governor whose conscience and iudg-
ment are confessedly in the keeping Of
a party caucus is unfit to hold the of
fee of state house janitor. Kansas has
never had such governors nor been in
the control of such party, and it nev-
er will be in such a position again.

FIG. L. QUICK METHOD OF MAKING
CIDER VINEGAR.

called the mother" of vinegar, which
it really is in fact When dried,
these germs, which are so small as
to be invisible, float off into the air,
and as the supply of them is mex
haustibly kept up by the constant
souring of various matters containing
sugar, all that is necessary is to ex-
pose some sweet liquid to the air and
will at once begin to ferment and
finally sour, making what we call
vinegar.
Vinegar is a very wholesome sub
stance and is believed to have useful
effect on the digestive process, and
thus we instinc5ivelY desire it IN our
food. But as it is rather difficult to
procure it pure and free from injuri-
Gus mineral acids, it is much safer to
make it from fruit cider. Cider
vinegar has small quantity of malic
or apple acid in it, and this makes it
more agreeable. In making vinegar
from cider only the very best should
apples. quite free from decay and the
common worms often found in the
fruit chosen for vinegar making. The
most perfect cleanliness should be
followed with all food substances, for
such is the uncountable numbers of
ways in which germs, bad as we'll as
good, affect the health, that no risks
should be run Of harm from injurious
matters taken into the stomachs.
The cider should be filtered through
fine clean sharp sand, by which all
the finest part of the pomace is sep
arated, and other impurities that
would form good deal of sediment
in the vinegar are got rid of; and
then stored IN perfectly clean barrels.
According to the American Agri-
culturist all that is required, then,
to make cider vinegar is to expose the
cider to the air, from which the active
germs of fermentation are gathered
without any trouble. They exist in

Points About Poultry.

PULLEIs will prove much more
profitable if they are not crowded by
the other fowls.
NOTHING can take the place Of good
management in the winter as well as
in summer.
ONE advantage with poultry on the
farm is that they can readily be given
a free range.
By culling and marketing reason
ably early considerable saving can
be made in feed.
The best way of feeding clover is
to run through cutting box and
then soak over night
To HAVE hens lay we'll in the win
ter they must have warm quarters
and be fed literally.
THERE is considerable difference
in the taste of a well fattened fowl
and one that is thin and scrawny.
1T is not a good plan to attempt to
conflne fattening turkeys for any con-
siderable time; let them run until
about ten days before marketing.
THE crumbs and scraps from the
table and parings and waste from
vegetables, all of which usually go
into the garbage barrel, will be rel
lshed by hens and manufactured by
them into fresh eggs
FARMERS should attend poultry ex-
hibitions and see the different breeds
for themselves Don't believe all the
stories interested exhibitors tell you,
but go and master the matter your
self and be your own judge.
THE proper way to sell eggs would
be by weight. AS long as this is not
the custom, keep hens that produce
the largest ones, and sell only to pri-
vate customers who will pay accord
ing to actual value.

AS for time, the playing Of many
virtuosos is like the walk of a drunken
man. Do not take such people for

When you play do not trouble your

You should not only know your
pieces with your tingers-you should
also know how to hum them without

perceptions to such point that you
can retain not only the melody, but
the harmony Of piece.

When you are older, never play any

Hans's Goodness.

An incident is said to hav
pened recently at Bridgeport, Conn.,,
where the animals of 'the greatest
show on earth' have their winter
quarters, which shows to what danger
an ignorant man will expose himself
and how he may escape injury.
A big German named Hans applied
for work, and as some one was wanted
to clean out the cages of the amin ais,
he was engaged. The superintendent
gave him directions about the work,
and then left him.
Returning to the place not long af-
ter, the superintendent was Mortified
to see the man inside the cage with
five lions. He was going about his
work in a most methodical way,
sweeping the floor vigorously with his
broom. which he occasionally ''shooed"
into the faces of the aStOniShed lions
when anv Of them ventured near him.
The animals, doubtless surprised at
the mans cool Indifference, kept
huddled up in one corner until Hans
wanted to clean out that particlar
part of the cage. Then they were I'M
tremendously evicted and scampered
around utterly forgetful of their
proper dignity.
T superintendent never expected
to see the man come out alive, be-
lieving that the lions, which were re-
garded as particularly savage and I'M
ruly, would attack him as soon as he
started to leave the den. He hur-
riedly called some of the older hands
to his assistance, and then ordered
the German to come out of the cage.
The fellow laughed at the idea of
the animals hurting him, and said he
wanted to finish the job; but when
the superintendent commanded, he
finally obeyed, and got out of the
cage without scratch.
1t took deal Of argument to per-
suade Hans that he had been in great
danger, and to prevail upon him to
use the long-handled rakes that are
especially provided for cleaning the
cages,

Kansas district, was interviewed by the
Journal correspondent, and concerning
Simpsons vote on the anti-options
measure said:

who would JON Wall street in defeating
the bill. This has been worked for all
it was worth here on the floor OF the
house and had it's influence along with
other plans of seeking votes. I did not

Thieves and RaScalS.

From the Wichita Eagle.
"Al republicans are thieves and sas-
GALS" says dwellings latest manifesto.
How quickly and surely do evil COM
munications corrupt good manners.
Lewelling himself came to Wichita but
a short time since, an ultra Iowa pro-
hibition republican. He even left his
Wichita home for Topeka apparently
respecting himself, and certainly re-
spected by his republican neighbors.
But how quickly he fell into the above
and like shameful mouthings of that
anarchistic adventurer from Canada,
Jerry Simpson, not only disgracing
himself, but humiliating million OF
right honest people, and bringing their
state, for which they have labored and
hoped for thirty years, into discredit
and diEepute. The remotest corner to
be found anywhere in the civilized
world now hears the name of Kansas
pronounced only in contempt or in pity.
How for almost a full life time her peo-
pie have struggled, God knows; for
awhile against power that ruled every
other portion of the nation, again be-
tween the upper and neither millsGones
Of later bloody conflict, against the
very elements af nature and of fate, it
seemed at times; but ever undismayed
and ever victorious in the end, until
this pliable, squirming angle-worm,
through calamity cracks and revolu-
tionary tracks, had wriggled into the
executive chair and commandership Of
this once proud, self-rsliant and SELF
sustaining people-into the place Of
power over people who under repub-
lican rule had accomplished moro in,
for and with Kansas than was ever so-
complished in like time by any civil
ization since the dawn of creation, only,
after all, to be branded by the chief and
head of their state as 'thieves and
rascals."

Cultivating the Small Grains.

ne notion of some agricultural
writer's that wheat, rye, oats and
barley would in few years be culti-
waited, as corn is now cultivated, is
hardly warranted by any present ex-
perience. The spring small grains
are undoubtedly benefited on rich
land by narrowing when they come
up. because on such land this induces
the plants to tiller or spread, and
shoot up more stalks than they other
wise would. But when the plant IS
nearing the time for heading out Gull
tivation would certainly be harmful
1t would induce too rank a growth,
causing the straw to fall down, and
preventing the heads from filling
The check to small grain from each
stem crowding it's neighbor prevents
any from getting an over-supply of
nitrogen, and is better for the crop
than growing each plant by itself.
The scattering oat plants that some
times appear in hoed crops, passing
through the excrement of granted
horses, usually rust so badly that
neither straw nor grain is worth any
thing.

A Dairyman's Economy.

The man who expects to make q
profit from his labor and capital by
dairying, must be more than the
keeper of cows. He must be dairy
mali in taste, education, and practice.
The great trouble with dairying and
why it is not more profitable, has
been well expressed by Prof. Roberts,
who recently said: A majority of the
herds are made up of worthless cows
and scrubs, that do not pay their
keep one month out of the twelve.
This is So because these men have
not studied the law that governs milk
production as applied both to the cow
and the food; and until these are
understood and definite methods
adopted, and these methods in har-
mony with the dairy, there need be
no fear of Over-production, as popu
lation and demand are fast outstrip-
ping production, and cows cannot be
supplied in any numbers on demand.
When the good cow has been provided
and suitable food furnished, there
needs to be a more intelligent hand
ling of milk, cream and butter, as
we'll as cheese, in their manufacture.
By our Anticipated ways of handling
milk, there is too great loss of fats
at three points of manufacture: In
setting the milk, in it's Dreaming and
in churning; ordinary methods show
ing a loss Of fully one pound of fats
to each 100 pounds of milk. So that
the good cow, that gives 5000 pounds
of milk per year, is prevented from
sixty pounds of butter that better
methods would have placed to her
credit. "Better methods stimulate
consumption, and the better the food
the better the civilization" is a true
saying, and should be needed by every
dalryman who wishes to be pro-
gressive. The whole matter turns on
intelligence, knowledge, and under
standing, and the three put in daily
practice, and once in force, should
never thereafter be abandoned.

Leaf Mold from the Woods.

While it does not pay to be a
trouble of gathering fallen leaves for
manure, leaf mold the manufactured
product of said leaves, may often be
use with advantage. Leaf mold is of
advantage as a mulch, keeping the
rains from forming crust OH heavy
soil, or the sun from burning out the
moisture of a light one. Leaf mold
is mainly carbon, and hence in the soil
is not so much advantage as mulch
unless first mixed with nitrate or Plies
phate manures. With these it fur
nishes just what plants need, and IN
the carbonic-acid gas it gives off it
helps to keep mineral fertilizers from
becoming insoluble, as they quickly
will in contact with pure clay or
