last week would have been as dreary
as Ezra's chances for reelection to the

First, the Cow Boy preacher with
his tawney name and single mill
voice has gone. and we can no longer
see him do violence to the queens En-
glish in a style so blood curdling as
to make the compulsory education
clause of the codes an unnecessary
provision. We no longer hear his
plaintive plea for stuff" as lne tells
the romantic story of his life. He has
gone where wheat and barley are
bringing better price and chattel
mortgages are not ripe until later in
the season.
And the gladstone salt fakir, with his
plug hat of questionable vintage and
his game leg-in sympathy with those
he oft has pulled-is also gone. No
more we hear his clarion voice ring
out on the still air of night, where his
RaderSburg diamonds flash and glis
in the glare Of his naptha lamps. He
is gone. Gone where legitimate busi-
ness has not re-es tablished itself on
cash basis; where the yeomanry is not
so thoroughly overworked that he can
not work them himself. 1t takes
confiding people TO buy salts at s1.00
per box which cost 3 cents. But his
memory fingers. This winter when the
wind, then untempered by the fire, in
which the Livingston papers religious
ly allude to as the Muir tunnel, comes
whistling UP the canyon, we shall
think of him. When we go out into
the night and wrest the top rail from
our barbed wire fence. we will wonder
why IL was that we did not enlist in
the u. S. army and thus have some
one to do our thinking for us and to
protect US. And the thought will come
to us that no matter how many safe
guards the legisla ture throws around
nus and how hard 1t tries to save us
from ourselves. II is still unsafe for US
ITO venture out of doors. Thus will we
spend the winter in kicking ourselves,
and next summer when the circus
comes along we will run up against
the Shell game. and be fiim-fiammed
out of a months wages by the short
change man. And yet eternal hope
bids us stay ON earth.

Soil Moisture.

At the last meeting Of the Association
of the Agricultural Colleges and Exper-
iment Stations Professor Card of Ne
braska presented some facts concerning
experiments last year at the station al
Lincoln. In October last il was found
that soil which had been cultivated dur
ing the entire season had 20 per cent Of
moisture as compared with II per cent
in that which had been cultivated only
in the early part Of the season and / 4
per cent in that which had been pas
tured or moved. Where the surface of
the soil was mulched there was more
moisture near the surface, but little or
no effect was produced at lower depths.
Contrary to what is commonly sup
posed, comparatively little effect on the
per cent of moisture was produced by
either subsoiling or trench plowing as
compared with ordinary plowing. A
different result might be found in diff
,ferent soils

Hyacinths In Glasses.

Select the single lowered varieties
for growing in glasses, as they are
likely to produce finer spikes than the
double ones. The regular hyacinth
glasses are the neatest and prettiest to
use, but any glass bottle with a mouth
wide enough to easily support the bulb,
but not big enough to let it drop inside
the bottle will answer all right. Fill
the bottle with soft water till it almost
but not altogether touches the base Of
the bulb. Some put lump or two of
charcoal into the bottle to sweeten the
water. Now put the glasses into cool,
dark place, as on shelf in the cellar
cupboard, for four or five weeks, till the
roots get almost to the bottom Of the
glass, when the glasses should be
brought out to partial light, as ON a
shelf in the open cellar, and in week
or two to full light, as in north or
east facing window. Never have the
bottles in cold, drafty place, or
where frost can get at them. Keep them
filled with fresh water as full as they
were at first, but no fuller. If the wa.
ter gets cloudy or i'll smelling, over
flow the bottles or pour off the old and
refill with fresh water. Gardening,
which gives these directions, says: TO
support the hyacinths loop piece of
stiff but neat wire around the neck of
the bottles with one end standing up
straight eight or ten inches to tie the
flower spike to. Hyacinths in glasses
produce very handsome spikes Use sol
i'd 'bulbs with hard crowns.

BarrelinR Apples.

Many of the most profitable operations
in commercial life depend in the first
instance upon very simple facts Most
persons would pass by without observing
the barreling Of apples, as a case in
point. If apples were placed loosely in
barrels, they would soon rot, though
passing over but a very short distance
Of travel, and yet, when properly bar
relied, they can be sent thousands of
miles, even over the toughest ocean
voyage, in perfect security.
This, explains Meehan's Monthly, is
owing to the fact discussed years ago,
without any one knowing particularly
the reason, that an apple rotted from a
bruise only when the skin was broken.
An apple can be pressed so as to have
indentations over its whole surface
without any danger Of rotting. provid-
ing the skin is not broken. In barreling
apples, therefore, gentle pressure is ex-
ercised so that the fruit is fairly pressed
into each other, and it is impossible for
any one fruit to change its place in the
barrel on its journey. Apples are some
times taken out of the barrels with
largo indentations over their whole sur
face, and yet no sign of decay, In these
modern times we understand the reason.
The atmosphere is full of microscopic
germs which produce fermentation, and
unless they can get an entrance into the
fruit rot cannot take place. A mere in
dentation, without rupture Of the outer
skin, does not permit Of the action Of
these microbes. This is simple reason
why the early observations enabled the
barreling Of apples to be so successful
