A Card From Mrs. Lou Gardner.

To the Editor OF the Ledger
MEXICO, Mo-, March 25.-I have
called on Mrs. Judge Cunningham
and she says it is a great mistake
about my father and her husband,
the late Judge Cunningham, ever
buying any white Migrants. She
says for me to say they never dit it,
and that they both owned more
slaves than they had any business
with and had they wanted help they
would have easily hired plenty of
white men for so cents per day with
out resorting to anything of that
kind. She says she and Mr.. Cum
ningham moved here in the year
1858. She also says that they both
would have reyolted at the idea OF
such a thing being done and the
idea of saying such a thing of those
two honorable men sleeping quietly
in their graves and she hopes gone
to rest. Judge Clark also says he
has been living here for fifty years
and if such a circumstance ever oc-
CURED it has entirely slipped his
memory. / am satisfied it is a mis-
take and l have nothing further to
say in regard to the matter.
Respectfully,
Lou E. GARDNER.

ChoIerine in Transatlantic.

Swickley, Penn: We had an
epidemic of %cholerine, as our physi-
clans called it, in this place lately
and | made a great hit with Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhea Remedy. I sold four dozen
bottles of it in one week and have
since sold nearly a gross. This rem
edy did the work and was a big ad-
vertisement for me. Several per-

Agricultural Notes.

Glover sod Is preferable for pota-
toes.
A man ought to farm for pleasure
as well as for profit.
It Is better 10 get everything in
readiness for spring work now.
With the soil kept loose the
moisture is much better preserved.
1t is not best to be in a hurry to
turn in on the grass before it gets a
start,
Farmers should produce the
things consumed at home as far as
possible.
Vegetable matter is a natural fer
~tilizer; what cannot be used should
be turned under.
Glow seed can be sown on the
snow or on the ground while in a
honeycombed condition.
Clover to be of greatest value as a
renoyator of land must be fed out on
the ground where it grows.
The man who has most to sell
generally has the least to buy, from
the fact that he raises nearly every
thing needed for family use.
Green crops plowed under furnish
a cheap means Of accommodating
nitrogen in the soil. This method
of munuringir growing fn favor.
Don't make the mistake again of
~neglecting to thoroughly pulverize
the ground before planting. 1t is
nonsense to plant in the clods.
1t is best to deepen the soil grad
ually. If plowed too deep all at
once so much subsoil will oe thrown
on the productive soil that it will
not produce as we'll.
Thoroughly fine the soil for pota-
toes. Plant on well drained land.
A large crop of potatoes need not be
expected from wet, clammy soil. II
must be loose and fertile.

has been shown Is times and was

Maid of the West, was also a prize
winner. Mr.. johnson was exhibit

apples are formed but have not be-
gun to turn down. For woody and
bark lice spray two or three times
with Kerosine emulsion of full
strength or diluted. When worms
are known to exist on apple trees
when spraying is commeneed TOR
scab, blight, rot, mildew or other
fungus, it will be best to add Lon
don Purple or Paris Green to the
Bordeaux mixture in the proportion
of one pound to every one hundred
and sixty gallons of it. All the in
sects that infest apples excepting the
canker worm injure pear trees and
can be exterminated by the means
prescribed for apple trees. For in
sects on pear trees use KEROSENE
emulsion. Pears are also subject to
blight, all of which must be cut
away and burned and the trees
sprayed as for blight in apples. As
the leaves of peach and plum trees
are most sensitive to arsenical poison
than those of the apple tree Paris
Green should be used in spraying
them for eurculio but not stronger
than the proportion Of one pound to
$50 gallons of water. For black
rot and mildew on grapes begin by
removing and burning all the old
leaves, rotten fruit and branches
and in the spring spray the
vines with Bordeaux mixture.
Some orchardists and gardeners
spray at intervals of from six
to ten days throughout the season
with good results. Rain should not
be allowed to interfere, as much of
the spraying will remain on the
trees and plants be the season ever
SO wet.

Rheumatism Quickly Cured.

Three days is a very short time

PHILADELPHIA, June 30 -Ex-M Mayor Fit
Ter and the Fitler Cordage Company are
among the largest creditors Of the Oil Well
Supply Company whose assignment at
Pittsburg has been announced Mr.. titler
is not at all uneasy. He says that the
company has s., 800, 900 Of assets to meet
It's Liabilities of 81, 100000. 1t has dealt
with his concern since 1854, and has pur-
chased millions of dollars worth of cord
age. "We hold a large amount of its
business paper" said the ex-mayor, "but
every dollar is secured, and little time
will straghten everything out. The failure
is directly caused by the tightness of the
money market. The firm owed between
$500, 000and $4,000 to New York banks,
and this paper the banks found themselves
unable to renow, consequently a receiver
ship was advised by the heavy creditors.
