A telegram from Clay, G. H., few
days ago says: Saturday night Ma
than Brock and John Stephenson, of
Clay c, H., this state, started for
Leatherwood creek, accompanied by
a man named Woods. Brock and
Stephenson became engaged in a
quarrel, during which the former was
shot About this time a negro came
along, and Stephenson, taking his
pistol from him, made him stay I'M
til daylight. Woods managed to es-
cape to Clay G. H., and in an hour
Brock, who had revived, noticing
Stephenson and the negro were
asleep, seized gun and beat Ste
phenson over the head with it. The
negro was awakened and ran away.
Brock thought he had killed Ste
phenson, and hid in the bushes.
Stephenson regained consciousness
and escaped. A warrant is out for
him. Brock was carried back to
Clay c. H., in dying condition.

New Jersey Sweet Potatoes.

Less than 20 years ago it was thought
that sweet potatoes grown in New Jer-
sey were a watery worthless specimen
of so called product. All through the
counties of Salem, Cumberland, Allan
tic and Gloucester, where scrub pine
and cedar used to hold sway, has now
been cleared to large extent and is &C.
cupied by the growers Of the best sweet
potato i'll the world. This has not all
been brought about by nature alone, but
a growing knowledge Of culture and a
liberal use of large quantities of special
ly prepared fertilizer adapted to produce
size and shape and that rich golden color
so much sought after by the consumer.
The skill and success that has been ac-
quired in this section is phenomenal.
The main shipping stations are Vine
land, Seedsboro Bridgeton, Rosenhayn,
Main Avenue, Wheat Road, Maurice
town-although Vineland is far in the
lead Of them all and will alone handle
fully half of the crop between October
last and the middle of May next. They
are handled mostly by agents and not
dumped ON the market at the time Of
harvesting, but kept in drying rooms
made for the purpose, with fires burning
night and day, keeping the houses Of
storage at an even temperature From
1000 to 1000 bushels are shipped
daily, as the market requires. This is
kept up from early fall until late spring.
Two trains leave this section every after
noon for New York and Brooklyn alone,
arriving at Jersey City about midnight,
where scores of market trucks are in
waiting to carry them over the Hudson
to the market long before light. In the
short space Of 10 hours they are taken
from the kilns, shipped, delivered In the
city, sold to the consumer and ready for
the table.

IN THE APIARY.
what to Do with Partly Filled and Tn
canned sectfons


The American Bee Journal, believing
that in 1.-THE multitude Of counselors
there is safety" invited an expression
Of opinion from beekeepers in different
localities on the disposition OF partly
filed and uncapped sections Three bee
keepers advised feeding them back to
weak colonies. One said TO sell or use
Immediately. Another suggested extract
ing the honey from them and putting
them on another season to be filed.
O. G. Miller wrote: IF you have a
market for them, sell the best for some
thing less than full price. 1t may pay
to extract some. AS for the rest, put
them in piles in supers, protected from
the weather, and let the bees rob them
out, allowing entrances for only two or
three bees at a time, so they viii not tear
the combs. -
s. L Freeborn answered as follows
Sell all you can at the best price OBJ
tainable above the price of extracted
honey, then extract the rest. Let the
bees clean up the sections, and then store
them in a dry place, safe from mice, for
next season 8 use - Mr.. Freeborn Is plan
was suggested by two or three other
well known apiarists.
R. L. Taylor thought that the dispo-
sition Of the partly filed sections de
pended upon how much honey these CON
tain. He collects such as are nearly full,
puts them back and secures their COM
pletion by feeding extracted honey.
Then he extracts from the medium ones
and allows the bees to carry the honey
out of the hghtest ones.
q. W. Demaree said: There are two
methods Of management, and only two
by which the unfinished sections can be
handled without loss. The more profit
able Of the two plans is to have them
completed by feeding back pure honey
having the work done by properly pre-
pared colonies. If you do not have thi
skill to conduct this work, the next best
way is to extract the honey from the
section combs, let the bees clean them
and then preserve them for the next
season.

Miscellaneous Fodder Crops.

In report from the Vermont station
the composition and yield per acre of
food constituents are tabulated for Jap
anese radish, spurry, millet, rape, SOFA
bean, horse bean and sunhowers, and
for mixtures of peas, oats and rape,
hairy vetch and SOFA beans, hairy vetch
and horse beans, and vetch, oats and
rape. The largest yield of dry matter,
7,491 pounds per acre, was made by
rape; this plant produced larger crop
when the drills were six inches apart
than when planted at distance of 81
inches apart, Japanese radish was re-
fused by cattle; sunfiower heads afford
ed 2,738 pounds dry matter per acre,
containing COZ pounds of fat, much
larger quantity than that produced by
any other crop.

The cigar case bearer III western New
York is the subject of bulletin issued
from the Cornell university station.
Professor Slingerland believes that this
cigar case bearer can be kept in check
by two or three thorough sprayiEgs with
paris green, one pound to 200 gallons
of water, The first application, which
may be effectively combined with the
bordeaux mixture then to be used for
the apple scab fungus, should lie made
as soon as the little eases are seen on
the opening buds, A second and perhaps
a third application may be necessary st
intervals Of four to seven days on badly
infested trees. These sprayinss win also
check the bud moth,
Furthermore, it has been experiment
tally demonstrated in Canada that kofo-
sene emulsion spray applied at the same
time as directed above for paris green
still more effectively checks the case
bearer, and we believe it would act like
wise ON the bud moth In pear orchards
both this case bearer and the pear psylla
can be effectively checked by the same
emulsion spray when the leaves are
opening in the spring.

Enough to Provoke a Saint.

A young man, in an outing shirt
and straw hat, was wheeling a baby
carriage back and forth along the
pavement in front of certain house
in Morgantown. The hot afternoon
sun poured pitilessly down upon
him, and he was as angry as any
man in the town.
'My DEAR" came voice from the
upper window of the house.
"You go to thunder" he shrieked
back, 'let me alone, can't your" and
he went on wheeling and mopping
his face.
An hour later the same voice came
from the same window in earnest,
pleading tones:
George, dear"
"Well, what in the deuce do you
want?" he shouted. 'Have the wa.
ter pipes burst2"
"No, George, DEAR" walled the
voice; "the water pipes are all right,
but you've been wheeling Lotti's doll
all the afternoon. Hadn't you better
let baby have turn now2-'Inder.
Hern knows of course, but it was
unnecessary for him to relate his ex-
perience publicly.

CORN HARXEsTERs.


A Homemade Machine That VIII Cut
About Five Acres Per Day.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
are now on the market corn harvesters
and binders, the average farmer will for
many reasons find himself at harvesting
time without one of these patented ma
chimes If he has much eern TO cut, he
may welcome the following concerning
a homemade cutter from an Iowa CORE
spondent of Farm, Field and Fireside.
He writes;
We made one ont Of material ON the
place, and it does as good work as one
that costs $50. Make a pair Of I~7nners

ners must be about 6 inches high at
least-higher if your corn is tall and
straight. Cut them about six feet long,
Now nail three ( foot strips across the

it any narrower than four feet. Next
cover this with boards. making a tight

Singlerees must be short ones. If you

for the knives. Take two stack cutter
knives have them thin and sharp-not
too thin, or they viii turn ON the edge
Make a hole in the center of the first
crosspiece near the front edge. Bolt
your knives firmly to this; then fasten
the other ends to the runners. Give the
knives slant enough 10 cut we'll Be
sure the knives fit closely at the inter
section. Or if you wish to have a knife
of one piece you can do so, but give it
slant enough. See that the intersection
of the knives is at least two Or more
inches from front end Of platform. or il
will not always cut.
Place seat to the right side of your
platform near the front, SO that you can
reach the corn easily. Place a guard on
brace for your feet If You slip off in
front, you are Roner sure. To keep
your horse from backing into it while
turning do not turn short; take a land.
Drive a short rod in each runner in front
of the knives, bore holes in piece Of
timber and place it ON these rods in
front of the knives. When your horse
backs ON to this, he is safe. place two
removable standards on the left side e
keep fodder from falling of Take a
rope about ten feet long, fasten ends on
left side and lay it over platform
Hitch up and start il it does not &c

have to get used TO il. The operator
reaches cut and holds the corn against
the knife, and as it cuts throws it back.
When full. draw your standard, pull
your rope and dump your load, or you
can hold it in ono arm till full; then
get off and set up. BE very careful with
the machines They are very dangerous
to operate if you arc careless.

1t is now denied that the effects of
bicycle riding are so beneficial to a
young lady's health and some scient-
lists positively assert that it is the
wrong kind of exercise and produces
undesirable results. But whether
it Injuries hera health or not, it is a
well settled fact that it does not in
crease mans admiration for her. 1t
may make her popular but it is not
the kind of popularity that most men
would want their sisters to possess.
1t is fact worthy of mention that
there is no bicycle craze in Morgan

or four and there is not a Young

Irrigation In New England.

By selecting the correct spot ON the
farms and preparing a pond to which
bitches may lead a supply of water can
be secured and at the proper season car
ried outside Of the pond by wind power
to irrlgate adjacent land. A correspond
ent of The New England Homestead who
has such a pond with The bitches, pre-.
pared at a comparatively snail expense,
tells all about the matter He says
1 secured an old patern Moore road
grader, to which pitched eight horses,
four abreast. The bitches We're made
with one rodnd of the machine. Make
the pond circular, leaving an island in
the center. With the grader began
blowing in circle 20 rods ia eireum-
ference, gradually working outward I'M
til the outside measurement was 90
rods. Then, setting the grader so ii
would throw the earth outward, l be.
gan working toward the center until all
the loose dirt was removed | then had
a smooth surface upon which to begin
blowing as before, Puddle the bottom
so it will hold water
On farms which have no basins the
water may be taken from rayines that
are previously damned and prepared
for holding the supply. The water will
then have to be raised by windpumps
and carried in cheap board troughs tC

er which carries the water out Of the
pond might be utilized TO fill tho pond

mentioned this system drains the land,
increases the rainfall Of country, and
if the ponds are deep enough makes il
possible to raise fish.
