Good Hogs.

much as to deprive the animal of an agency

ST. JOSEPH. Mo-, May Last night Elmer
Randall. young farmer living north of the
city made overtures to Ida Brooks TO attend
church together. The young girl refused and
attended with another fellow. Randall went TO
church and sat near the doors. He evidently
brooded over his troubles. for while the minis

shooting created panic in the church.

The Influence of the Peach Crnn


Our good friend, the Home and Farm. is
usually credited with having a very level
head and we quote the following from it as
a matter OF curious interest toour readers:
Among producers and the wholesale commits
sion trade generally il is to a large extent con-
coded that the peach crop rules the market for
other farm produce. Those who have watched
the course Of the peach crop over a number of
years know that when the peaches have been
plenty and cheap the prices of other products
have been correspOndingy cheap, and vice
versa Take the case of two years ago when the
markets were well supplied with peaches there
was also an abundant supply OF ell other fruits
and prices were low. whereas last year peaches
were scarce and the prices of other
products were high. For the coming season II
Is yet somewhat difficult to make predictions,
but from some sections reports have been re-
ceived indicating damage TO early peaches from
the very severe winter. III there be any
ground for the reasoning here referred to. and
the peach crop of '93 should be short one
then there is every prospect of farm products
selling high this year, higher in fact than they
did In '92 because this season opens with gem
erai scarcity and very stiff prices. whereas the
~ season opened with a good deal of carry
over stock from 81 and low prices. II will be
interesting 10 watch the drift of the market
the extent of the peach crop aud whether il
has any effect upon values.

Moth Preventative.


There lie one sure preventive OF moths
toned. says a writer. 1t is tansy.
Sprinkle the leaves freely about your
woolens and furs, and the moths will never
get into them. When l was a child my
mother used to send me to the tansy patch
on the hill with q large basket in which
TO bring home plenty of tansy leaves.
In the garrett where five large hair covered
trunks, studded with brass nails. filed
with her best blankets, coverets, flannel
sheets. etc. Some Of them had never been
used until my grandmother had grand
children, notwithstanding she always had
a large family to provide beds for. But
the supply OF her bedding, linen and other
household articles was in excess OF the
demand
This large amount of bedding, table,
cloths towels and linen sheets was spun
and woven In her fathers house, and the
girls were given full liberty to take all
they were willing to make up for them
selves. That was part of their marriage
dover. L can we'll remember how grand
mother took the extra supply out of those
trunks In the garnet once year, hung the
articles on the clothes-line down IN the
orchard, beat them and then put them
away again TO lie amid the tansy leaves
until another year. The fourth genera
ton of her posterity are sleeping under
those same blankets and blue and white
coverlets now, which proves the efficacy
of that remedy Of the olden time.

Just who want this bill passed
outside of few in the Legislature
is a question. 1t is certain that
the great majority of the people are
strongly opposed. 1t is an attempt
to do what has been tried here
several times, and each time proved
a disastrous failure, leaving its
trail behind in the shape Of a num-
Der of confirmed opium smokers
chiefly among the Hawaiians. A
law in this case is only as effective
as its penalties. Our police officials
arrested, during the last two years,
1915 Chinese for having opium in
possession. What was the result :?
A nominal fine or a light imprison-
ment. The Judge cannot fine or
imprison beyond what the law will
allow. What we need is to take
leaf out of recent United States
legislation and make an opium
law by which every time
that a Chinaman violates it he
will be sent back to China,
and, as far as Hawaii is concerned,
compelled to stay there. If he
cannot pay his passage, make him
work on the roads until the Gov
eminent can afford to pay it for
him. II, instead of paying $500
for smuggling opium, some of these
Chinese had to pay $4,000 to
$4,000 or go out of the country,
there would be little or no snug
Cling for there would be no profit
in it; while the deporting of the
Chinese caught smoking or eating
opium would soon cause the de-
mand for it to cease. Let the pen
atty for other offenders be equally
severe. It would not injure the
planting interests of the country,
for an opium fend is a curse
wherever found. If our Legislators
really meant business, they could
soon stop this opium scandal, not
by licensing it, and thus making
the vice permanent and fastening
upon the country the lasting dis
grace which has attached to every
country so doing, but by leaving
our present law as it is except for
a change in its penalties.
