HENRY s. IVES, the dead "anan-
cial Napoleon" began life in the
metropolis as a sweep, a scrubber of
floors, a mental, drudge, at 81 q
week. In two years he had but risen
to a junior clerkship in brokers'
office, which paid him $40 a week.
But In that clerkship he had acquired
knowledge of financial methods and
situations which, allied to his natu-
raj mental traits of audacity and
quick perception, perfected an equip
ment which enabled him to rule and
ruin in the great gambling world into
which he had but scarce entered as
a novice. In 1886, four years after
his arrival in New York, this boy had
astounded Wall street by a coup in
telegraph stocks which threatened
the stability of great financial con-
Germs, had squeezed" one railroad
corporation as one would squeeze n
lemon, and, with the proceeds thus
gained, had secured control of and
plundered the rich Cincinnati, Ham
ilton and Dayton system, and pur-
chased an option on that enormous
property, the Baltimore and Ohio.
He had as banker, broker, promoter
and agent managed to swing values
as a pendulum and to terrorize and
almost paralyze the security market.
He played with millions as with
pawns upon a chess board, and in his
trail of devastation left wake of
wrecks Of firms, corporations and
properties the like of which the
| world had never seen.

Salt Not "A Fertilizer.

Any one familiar with agricultural
chemistry knows that salt does not
contain anything that may serve as
plant nourishment; it is simple
compound of chlorine aud sodium.
Chlorine, if anything, is injurious to
plants thence the disastrous effect
sometime observed where salt is used
at the time of the planting, or in too
large Quantities,) while sodium,
though not harmful, cannot by any
means assist plant growth the small
quantities needed are always and
abundantly present in every soil, and
it is not any more advantageous to
fertiliZe with sodium than it would
be to use sand or silica as a fertilizer,

PastnrIng a Meadow.

A correspondent asks if pasturing
moving land in autumn injuries it,
Well, that depends. If the grass is
timothy, feeding cattle on it in the
fall or early spring will injure it.

to 20 on it in wet weather they will
hurt it by poaching it, whatever be-
tn grass sown But if variety Of
grasses and clovers form the bulk of
the pasture and the cattle are only
allowed on it in dry weather. no
damage will be caused; and this Is
one Of the great objections we have
to timothy; it should never be grazed.
The plant roots of this otherwise
valuable grass are of a dubious
growth, and the side twitch of the
COW in eating is mighty apt, particu-
larly in damp weather, to pull the
entire stalk out of the ground

Notes..

SEED corn is the most Important
matter to consider in connection with
the crop. II there is anything that
causes farmer to become Respondent
it is to be compelled to replant his
field.
THERE Is but one sure method Of
making poor land pay and that is to
curtail the area to cultivated, APP
ply the manu- on a small space,
procure fertilizers and give good cul-
tivatlOn.
TREES, whether planted for orna-
ment or use, are the better for the
soc ETY. of other trees near by, be-
cause of Their affording mutual pro
lection from winds and from extremes
of heat and cold.
The cost Of the seed is an obiec-
tion to the use of whole potatoes for
that purpose, but cutting the seed
should be done with the OBJ ect of al
lowing as large pieces as possible.
The young plants derive their first
nourish rent from the seed pieces.
WHEN green crops are plowed I'M
der for the purpose of enriching the
soil an application of lime will often
be Of the greatest benefit. 1t helps
to correct the acidity of the soil,
which often results from the too
rapid fermentation of the green stuff.
THE mule is a much better animal
than the horse for some purposes.
The feet Of the mule do not become
as easily injured as those OF the horse,
and mules are also less liable to dis
ease, will eat a greater variety Of
coarse food, and can be worked in
closer rows than horses.
THE National DairYmann says:
Over 100 new creame les is the record
In this country for 1893. Many poor
ly-located ones have quit business.
but 1t is perfectly STE to figure on
600 good live creameries added to the
forces This will make close to 6, 600
good, live creameries in or alton, IN

does not show. The space between
the runners is equally divided by two
iron hooks, a a, to each Of which is

They are each fastened to the stringer
by one bolt, and supported by braces,

by bolt, and the two cross on the

by one bolt passing through them.

height sufficient to pass over stones
or uneven e ound. AS the center
marks are made by the heavy chains
the planter will find no missing
marks, as happens when all the marks
are made by runners In that case
the slight elevations and dep essions
of the surface of the field would
cause one or two of the runners to be
off the ground half the time.

NOW to Mark Corn Ground.

lave often wondered how it is
possible for IA sober man to make corn
rows as crooked as some have seen,
writes correspondent OF the Ameri-
can Agrlculturist Nor Is the injury
In appearance alone. The cultiyator
cannot run as close to the young
plants and do as good work in crooked
rows as it can in straight ones, so
that the LABOR wasted in keeping the
crop clean is ten times as much as
would be required to mark the rows
straight in the first place, One cause
Of so many crooked rows Is to be
found in the fact that so few farmers
know how to make a really good drag
with which to II ark the ground and
no one can do the best work with
poor tools.
In the accompanying sketch Is
shown corn drag which have used
for the last twenty-five years, with
great satisfaction and success. 1t
can be made IN a few Tours by any
farmer and the material used is not
expensive. For the stringer I use
two by four spruce. Suppose the
rows are to be three and a halt feet
apart, then the stringer should be
cut ten feet ana eight inches in
length, This will make the runners
ten feet and six inches apart, meas
ured from center to center The
runners are two feet long, made Of
two-inch plank ten inches wide, and
TO each of them is bolted a pillow
ndle. They are notched to receive

WHEN an undeveloped youngster
OF 16 can ride eighteen miles in fifty
seven minutes and ten seconds-half
the distance against a strong head
wind-it is evident that the eyolu-
tion Of the bicycle is still in progress.
Rau's performance in the Chicago
road race shows the perfection to
which the modern wheel, with its
pneumatic tires, ball bearings and
perfect construction, has been
brought. The cyclist long ago dis
tanced the ordinary trotting horse;
he is now in close pursuit Of the
thoroughbred, and as his ambition
knows no bounds he will sooner or
later be found challenging the loco
motive to short distance contests
What the future Of the bicycle may
be it is unsafe to predict. Every
year it has been announced that the
machine has reached its highest de-
velopment, yet each succeeding year
brings forth fresh Improvements.
American skill and ingenuity are at
work, and it is within the bounds Of
probability that the Chicago road
race may some time be won in forty
five minutes or even less,

to their own use coal which Is con-
signed to private parties, and the de-
cision is founded on an alleged public
policy, The railways are responsible
for the fuel thus used and make resti-

have held, and such Is a sensible con-
ceptlon Of law, that the interests of
