John Porter Does Some Petty Burs,ariz-
ing and Gets Caught.
John Porter is a farmer and lives on
q good farm near Letcher, we'll stocked,
good buildings and is considered pretty
we'll fixed financially. Yet Saturday
that man pleaded guilty to being a
thief He has been trading at. Champ
enyfBros. for some time past and be-
come indebted TO the firm and now
shows his gratitude for the favors
shown him by stealing from them. The
firm has been convinced that somebody
was apprcpriating goods from the
store ana they were tod to watch For
ter in the future. He and his family
came to town Saturday morning and q
man was stationed in The store TO watch
him. Along about noon Mr.. Champ
eny thoug ht Porter had carried away
about enough goods, as he had been IN
and out OF The store several times dur
ing the morning. Deputy Brooks was
called in and the situation explained to
| him. He accused Porter OF the theft
who at once confessed add accompanied
the deputy to his buggy and IN large
bag wasfconcealed three pairs OF pants,
coat and vest, two shirts, pairof mlttens
and horse brush, viii lie "A pair OF horse
blankets lay nAthe bGtt tonlef the buggy.
Az 5lhe1Sst3GGS We're ia ken to Champeny
Bros store and identiffed by Mr..
| Champeny as his goods. The warrant
sworn out for Porter's arrest charged
him with stealing suit OF clothes,
valued at ST. and when Judge Abbey
read the document to him Porter
pleaded guilty. Attorney Mohr ap-
peared in behalf of the state and asked
for half hours recess and with Mr..
Champeny and Porter went out togeth-
er to settle the matter. When they
returned Mr.. Champeny had decided
not to push criminal proceedings
against Porter, who agreed to pay MIR.
Champeny damages to the amount OF
s25. Judge Abbey then sentenced
Porter to ten days in the county jail
and to pay fine of $40, and he COM
menced to do time at once. The horse
brush and whip Porter stole from the
w. J. Healey Hardware Co., and it is
said that Porter hau been in the habit
OF stealing small things in the various
stores for several years but this was
the first time he was cOught.
There might be some sympathy for a
man who was in hard circumstances
and was actually in need OF clothes,
but this man has money, and showed
citizen OF this town three weeks age
5000 worth of Sanborn county warrants
which he bought last spring. Mr.
Champeny would have been justified II

might consider himself lucky in getting
out as easy as he did. Porter's crook

mode is 70 scatter the vines over tho
meadow and cover them with an inch
of sand This gives quick growth,
but requires many vines and also .
good deal OF sand.
Some people SOW what they call cut
tings. They run the vines through q
hay cutter, cutting them into lengt this
about one inch long. These they sow
broadcast and harrow in.
Until the vines are matted keep the
land well drain ed, as the plants do not
thrive on wet land. When properly
drained good meadow will become
matted in three years. though some
plantations take logger than that on
account Of the land being too wet For
two or three years after putting out
the vines the land should be kept free
from weeds, and the cranberry plants
given undisputed posse ssion- During
the first year hoe may be used. but
after that the grass must be pulled by
hand to avoid loosening the runners
that are rooted in the soil. This
should be done in August, before the
weeds go to seed.
Though drainage is required to OBJ
tain a growth of vines, after the mat
Is completed there are certain times
when considerable moisture is neces-
sary to insure good crop. Sometimes
droughts blast great many of the
blossoms. which is prevented il enough
moisture can be supplied to the crop
to insure full development Again,
where the soil can be made most. the
late-formed berries will grow up to
full size. But where irrigation is re-
sorted to. care must he taken to lower
the water in the bitches by the middle
of August. that the vines may be en-
abled TO make good fall growth. II
this be not done the crop Of the COM
ing year may be seriously damaged.
The fruit buds are formed in the fall,
and are visible at the ends of the new
growth on the upright branches. AL
plantations require flooding every win.

Limestone was formerly regarded ~
one Of the best rocks for top dressing
and il has been exclusively used for
such purposes; il has, however, proved
very unsatisfactory in the long run,
and in many parts Of the country lime
stone macadamized roads are being
taken mp and reconstructed OF more
satisfactory materials. The rock wears
easily into an impalpable powder when
dry and forms sticky paste when wet
Hard limestone makes an excellent
roadbcd but should never be used for
surface dressing. There Is tempta-
ton TO use limestone for such purposes
because they are easily broken and
pack readily on account Of their friabil-
ity. but they wear out with equal
readiness and soon require repairing.
