TIE NEW ENGLAND FARMER.
HIS Lot ~ Compared with Farmers In
the Northwest.

the Northwest.
Among the farmers Of the United
States the New England farmer is Pc.
culiarly fortunate in his surroundings,
according to the comparisons made by q
writer in the New England Homestead,
who appears to have had experience on
farms both east and west. He says the
New England farmers markets for
small amounts Of produce are only three
to ten miles away in the factory vii
lagos, or If he has a larger amount that
cannot readily be marketed in factory
villages, he can place his produce in
either of several cities by paying for 100
miles Of cheap transportation. His west
ern brother must pay for at least 1000
miles Of transportation, which often
costs more than one-haf the price Of his
crop after the market is reached.
The New England farmer takes some
thing to market nearly every week in
the year, and if the produce is in salable
condition he can always expect some re-
turn, while his western brother has to
wait six months at time before he can
hope to realize on his main crop, and if
he tries to trade some small produce like
butter and eggs for the necessaries to
support his family in the meantime, he
is apt to be told by the general supply
merchant that "the market is overstock-
ed already" There is then no choice for
him but to go in debt for his supplies
until after the next harvest. These must
be paid for out Of his main crop when
it comes to market. At that time the
supply merchant will begin to press for
payment, and that will force him to sell
at price leaving him at the mercy Of
the supply merchant. for another year.
Meanwhile the New England farmer
has paid his way all summer, and If in
the fall he has any crop to sell, what
ever that brings him may be reckoned
as the profits of the season.
When the western farmer is about to
begin going in debt for winter fuel and
other supplies, the New England farm
er betakes himself to his wood lot,
where he can cut year supply Of fuel
at his leisure. If repairs are needed on
buildings or fences, he can provide the
material at little above cost Of his own
labor, or If he needs finer lumber than
his own wood lot and the nearest saw
mill can supply he can take load Of
chestnut posts to the nearest lumber
yard and exchange for what he needs.
All this time, with his cellar well
stocked with salted meats, fruits and
vegetables, and his poultry yards full
Of fowls, he suffers no anxiety on ac-
count of bill at the supplymerchant's
While the western farmer and his fam
lily are shivering over COW manure fire

When to Out Corn Fodder.


A Country Gentleman correspondent
writes:
The best time to cut the corn is when
the ears are glazed and the husks turn
ing white. Cut at this time not only is
the fodder at its best, but there will be
no shrinkage Of corn and the ears will
be well filed out with plump, heavy
grain. Quite late in the season, when
the weather is cool and there is danger
Of frost, late corn may be cut up green
and will cure out without danger Of
shrinkage or Of the fodder souring.
As a rule, prefer large shocks, 1870
to la hills to the shock, as less Of the
fodder will be exposed to the weather
and a large shock cures out almost as
soon as small one When the field is
to be put in wheat, I prefer to carry 20
rows on each side Of the shock row and
make the shocks by 40 hills, which
makes them as close as they can stand
in the row. 1t will cost i cent to 1 4
more per shock, but Is great conven-
fence in sowing the wheat, and enables
you to get the corn and fodder off with
very little trampling of the wheat.

KILLED HIS AGED FATHER
Terrible Crime of a Young Man at
Redwood City
The Old Mans Continued State Of lnebriety

of the Homicide

Redwood City, CAL, March 19.-John j.
Clancy was brought to Jail here, charged
with the crime of killing his aged father,
John Clancy. The tragedy occurred near
Holy Cross cemetery, at Colma, shortly
after O'Clock last night. Young Clancy,
who is teamster at the cemetery, resides
in small cottage near by, with his wife
and three little children. His father had
for some time past made his home with
him. Last night, it is said, the father
came home under the influence of liquor,
and during the absence of his son began
abusing his daughter in-law, and apply
ing vile epithets to her children. Young
Clancy arrived shortly after and pro-
ceeded to eject the old man from the
house. During the struggle the father
was thrown or fell to the floor, striking
his head violently against the stove,
which caused his death.
Young Clancy is described by those who
know him as a sober, hard working man.
The story he tells of his fathers failings
is one of continuous drunkenness and
brutality and ON his body he still bears
the marks of his fathers wrath, received
when too young to defend himself. His

NOVEL CASE OF ROBBERY
Strange Facts Dug Up by a Revenue
Collector
How Smugglers In South Carolina Tried
to and Did Do Up the
Customs Collectors

Columbia S. c., March 19--Deputy Col.
lector of Internal Revenue Vandervoord
unearthed one of the most novel cases OF
robbery in the annals of the federal
courts in this state. The story as obtain
ed from the confession of some of those
implicated in the conspiracy is as follows
In 1892 Mr.. Bieman Of Walhalla. s. c.,
sold the Government distillery No. 80,
located three miles from that town, to W.
c. Tatum. In the warehouse connected
with the distillery were between eight and
ten thousand gallons of whisky, and the
warehouse was closed under seal of the
revenue officers, Tatum intending to hold
the whisky for the period of three years
allowed by law before stamping it. Tat
UNI closed the distillery when he made
the purchase.
A little later the stealing began. The
warehouse was built on the slope of a
hill. The robbers drew the staple OF the
door, inserted one end of hose into a
whisky barrel, passed the hose through
a crack in the wall and siphoned the
whisky into an empty barrel at the foot
of the hill several rods away, whence
they could haul it away without serious
risk of detection. This process they re-
pated nightly until every gill Of whisky
had been safely removed. Then the band
assent led one night, and after filling the
barrels in the warehouse with water, care
fully replaced the staple and seal.
AS the end of the three years approach
ed Collector Towhes wrote Tatum repeat
eddy urging him to prepare to take the
liquor from bond, and it was while this
correspondence was in progress, on the
night of September s, 1894, the warehouse
with its contents was burned.

two weeks ago large smooth-faced, we'll

ing himself as in search Of a farm. He
went out and looked at Cranes. He
came here again last night and registered
at the Occidental Hotel as James Swami.
With him was a smaller man with a dark

Each secured team from the livery
stable this morning and went into the
country, but in different directions. This
big man went to Cranes place and repre-
sented himself as Dan McGarvey,
nephew of Judge McGarvey OF Ukiah; He
told Crane he knew his son, r. L. Crane
OF Ukiah and that the son had recon-
mended him to come and buy the farm:
He said he was from Alameda and had
been left a big fortune by his father. He
said he had $40. 600 in Government script.
which he had exchanged in San Fran
cisco for greenbacks. He showed Crane a
big roll OF greenbacks amounting to that
sum. Crane did not want to sell his
farm here, but proposed that they go up
TO see his Dry Creek farm. They started
on the road and soon met man who
said his buggy had broken down ana
wanted to ride with them. This was
the confederate Fox and after little talk
they proposed to have a lit lie game Of
cards with Crane. Crane became suspici-
GUS and remarked that he believed they
were frauds. The men soon after left him
agreeing to meet him again tonight.
Crane hurried to town and notified the
officers who watched at the stables for the
return of the men. The big man, how
ever. beat him to town and left on the
$3.50 train for San Francisco. The other
man drove to Freestone; hired a boy to
bring his Team here and is believed to
have taken the narrow gauge train for
San Francisco. Officers have telegraphed
q description of the men all over the
country and it is believed they will be
captured. The men are believed to be
members of bold band of counterfeiters
who intended to swindle Crane out of his
farm or to beat him out of big sum by
the card game or change racket. Tele
grams have been received from Judge Nc
Garvey and Cranes son at Ukiah saying
they never heard of Dan MGarvey.

San Francisco, March 19.-The guests at
the Switzerland House. a fashionable
boarding house on the southeast corner of
Suffer and Jones streets, had an exciting
experience about O'Clock last night.
The doorbell was rung violently, and
they were startled by the information that
burglar was in the house. The visitor
had seen him crawling through one of
the windows. Crouched underneath bed
in one of the bed rooms the daring burg
lar was found. He was deadly pale and
shaking with fear. When dragged from
his hiding place he begged piteously for
mercy. He was young man about %
years of age, smooth faced and neatly
dressed. He said he was out of work and
starving, and had been forced to commit
crime to save himself from dying of
want.
He spoke eloquently and as he saw that
his words were making favorable i'm
preston upon the ladies, his voice trem
bled and his eyes filled with tears, which
won them over completely. They added
their entreaties to his, and, as usual, were
successful. The culprit was searched and
everything was taken out OF his pockets.
He had several pieces of iewelry which
he had taken from the bed rooms lie had
visited, which were returned to their own
ers. Ali that belonged to himself were
few Salvation Army meal tickets and two
boxes of salve. The police arrived just
after the thief's release and were much

OF his wife, Telsfora Sandoval. have been
brought into Las Vegas. The officers have
been searching the country over for Silva

OF desperadoes who terrorized the South
west for years. 1t is claimed that no less
than twelve men fell at the hands of Silva
alone. He presided at the White Cap trial
which condemned to death one of his
gang, Patrick Maez, for divulging seer cts
OF the gang, and he supervised the hang
ing Of that individual to bridge in the
town of Las Vegas. 1t is known that
he stabbed to death Gabriel Sandoval.
When the officers got on his trail his cap
ture was but question of hours; Silva,
who was suspicious of his wife, fearing
that she had betrayed him to the officers,
killed her and buried the body in the
sand near Los Alamos. Telling his crime
to some of his gang, they murdered him
and buried him in the same place with his
