THE SNOW STORM.
First White Display in This City
This Season.

1t has come at last, when people had about
given up looking for it. although il was ox-
pected that IL must come sooner or later.
Reference Is here made to the snow, of course,
the beautiful snow" which stole upon us
all unawares, at quarter OF IL last night.
Heretofore. when old Boreas has given us all
the symptoms of snow. ii turned into rain
very suddenly. or we received IA little touch
OF May warmth and sunshine. II has showed
this season twice before this, although in
each instance the fall was too slight to be
measured. The first spit was on Ostober 2l.
and the second on November 20. That it is un-
usual not TO have more snow in November is
readily shown by the city ball records, which
indicate that eight inches fell in November,
1894 alone. and in almost every November for
10 years past there has beer more or less
snow.
Today IS storm has been practically steady
since II a. m. and up TO that hour one and
one-half inches had fallen, covering the Ar
cade roof so that it was as dark within as at
candle light. The pedestrians did not much
enjoy the driving north winds nor the slip.

II was on November 6, 1894, that the storm
occurred which paralyzed the telegraph and

damage.

much delay TO traffic, although it may assume
troublesome proportions before night; or it
may be clear.

has not been severe enough TO order out the

Two Italian Chicken Thieves Bury a
Live Bird.

Cranston village was enliyened yester-
day afternoon by the arrest and convic-
tion OF two Italian chicken thieves.
For some time past several OF the resi-
dents OF Standish avenue had been miss
ing two and three hens each, and no per-
son could find out who the thieves were,
until today, when Mrs. Mary A. Abbott
missed q large black hen, scoring the
third in her loss. She instructed a man
TO watch two Italians who were work ing
at the cellar of new house close by.
The detective soon had his attention
drawn to bag that moved occasionally
lying near wagon belonging 10 the
Italians
Officer Bagley was notified and he
quietly surveyed the scene and then left
to secure warrants. The Italians observed
the suppressed curiosity of the officer
and the detective, and determined
Holmes like-to hide the crime They took
the bag, containing the chicken, into the
cellar, dug hole IN corner, buried
chicken and bag and then covered the
lately moved earth with boards.
Chief Bigbee and officer Bagley arrived
upon the scene about this time and hear
ing of the burial from the detective, they
unearthed the fowl in time TO save its life..
The Italians were arrested and tried be-
fore Judge Phillips They pleaded guilty
and were each fined % and costs-raising
the price OF the chickens TO sls.
Since the discovery OF the chicken
thieves, reports OF missing chickens are
coming in to the policemen fast from the
people living in the vicinity OF the house
upon which the Italians have been work
ing. SO far eight chickens have been re-
ported as missing. 1t is supposed that
efforts viii be made 10 connect the two
Italians with each case.
Mr.. Patrick Mclaughlin, a prominent
business man of Cranston, while asserting
new socks in his store yesterday, found
in sock a letter written by prisoner
in Pennsylvania jail, who, during his
confinement, had made the sock. The
prisoner asks the finder of the note to
answer, that he, the prisoner, might,
for curicsity's sake, know the destins-
tion of the socks he had made.
The letter was dated May II. 1894, and
was signed by Jos. j. Smith. The letter
may be answered, Smith says, within
three years from the above date.

Never Fails of a Market.

Dairying is the grandest help-out
the farmer has to-day There is not,
in my opinion, the slightest reason for
fearing that frst-class butter, prop
eriy marketed, will ever fail to be
profitable to the maker. There is too
much poor butter manufactured for
that. Let those who wish to profit by
it make only strictly high-grade
article, and the price is all. right fer
all they have to sell Some localities
may make one way of selling best, and
some another. Each individual but
ter maker must study the situation for
himself. 1 am speaking of home but
ter-making, not to creamery butter
makers. l believe the place to make
the butter is at home on the farm.
Not that l would do away with the
creameries, but for clear profit the
home dairy will come out ahead if
properly managed. The work, of
course, is also greater than where the
milk or cream is sent to the creamery.

position to cover the potato vine,
while the cultivator is doing the work,
which is really accomplished by the
operator using his Judgment. A
sprinkler made of copper, not more
than an inch in diameter, perforated
with numerous holes that will barely
throw a stream larger than a fine
spray, should be used.
There is utility in this convenience
that any farmer who owns a two
horse cultivator can appreciate when
he can cultivate and put on a good
dose of poison at the same time. We
have not tried to use the Bordeaux
mixture through this convenience,
presuming it would clog, but such a
contrivance with light force pump
attached, similar to a knapsack
sprayer, and pumped by boy walk
ing at one side with a hand grip reach
ing to the pump handle, would be
made cheaper and more easily
managed than carrying the bulk of
poisoned water necessary to go over
ten or more acres of potatoes.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

TOBACCO water will destroy bugs and
worms in rosebushes.
SALT sprinkled on the ground around
them is good for ounce trees.
NEVER apply coarse, fresh manure
close around the stems of the trees.
In the orchard, as elsewhere, do not
try to spread over too much ground.
THE plum does best when planted
closely, twelve to fifteen feet being a
good distance.
RHUBAR3 plants can now be covered
with manure and the covering be left
on until spring.
ALL roots, such as beets, parsnips,
etc, will keep fresh all winter if
packed in sand in the cellar.
BY banking up all fall-planted trees
injury from the heaving during the
winter may be largely prevented.
ANY attempt to change the form of
tree after it commences to bear is
almost certain to damage the tree seri-
ously.
GRAPES in open ground that are
pruned in the fall should be laid down
and kept down by weighing to hold
them in place.
MuLCnING greatly assists in pro-
tecting strawberry plants during the
winter. 1t should be applied as soon
as the ground freezes.
In the fall is good time to plant
rows of evergrcens in such positions
that they will shelter the orchards and
buildings from cold winds.
REPORTING of plants becomes neces-
sary at intervals for two reasons,
namely, the plant uses up the availa-
BILE fertility in the soil and fills the pot
with roots
SooT-wATER is a safe and efficient
fertilizer for all kinds of plants grow
ing in pots Generally, the better plan
is to put SCOT in water and use it in
watering the plants.

Ginseng in China.

Ginseng is an important article of ex-
port to China, and the trade is largely
in the hands of the resident Chinese
themselves. They buy the root of
wholesale dealers, who get it of coun-
try folk at about two dollars and fifty
cents a pound. Cinnamon seldom buy
directly from the countrymen, because
the latter being unacquainted with the
Celestials are unwilling to send the
root c. O. D. The Chinese make mys-
terry of the trade, but they send abroad
yearly many thousands of dollars
worth of ginseng.
