One trouble with wire fences is the

This is mainly caused by the posts tip

MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. 10.-Another new
diocese has been authorized by the
house Of deputies of the Episcopal
convention, that of Northern Michi-

A number Of messages were re-
ceived from the house of bishops as to
action on constitutional matters. One
Of the most important was the adop.
ton of article ~, providing for the
erection Of provinces Of not less than
Ave dioceses, the head Of a province to
be named archbishop. Consideration
of this was deferred until the "pri-

was a lively debate over the point as to
whether the primate should be elected
or hold his office by virtue of seniority.

STOCKHOLDERS SERIOUS CHARGE
He Accuses the Defendants of Allowing
the Banks Property and Money TO he
squandered-They Also Misrepresented
the Institutions Condition.


LIMA, o., Oct 10.-A sensational suit
growing out of the failure of the Lima
National bank four years ago has been
commenced by James A. Hover, one Of
the stockholders, who has sued B. O.
Faurot, as agent and director, and d.
j. Cable, W. II, Harper, Jacob Moser,
O. A. Metheany and W. II. Stephens,
all prominent citizens and directors in
the defunct bank.
Hover charged that the directors
made quarterly reports that the banks
capital stock was unimpaired and that
IL had surplus, while in reality the
bank had no capital and no surplus re-
NAMED after the payment of indebted
ness. Hover charges the directors with
allowing the money, property and
effects of the bank to be wasted and
squandered, and that its stock was
thereby rendered worthless. He asks
Judgment for the amount of his stock
and interest. which he lost in the
failure.

Growing plants BY Electricity.

Interesting experiments in electro-hor-
ticulture are being conducted at several
Of the experiment stations, different sys-
TENS being tested. One Of these is the
direct application of electricity, fur
nished by dynamo, to the plant itself
and to the soil in which it grows. An.
other is the distribution Of atmospheric
electricity among plants by similar
method. Still other tests are being made
with both arc and incandescent electric
lights for supplying sunlight, so to
speak, at night,
At the Ithaca IN. ~ experiment
station Professor Bailey, by aid of cleo
trio lights burned all night in green
houses, forces plants to do both day work
and night work. Sunlight as we'll as at.
mosphere and water is necessary for a
plants development. The electric light
resembles sunlight in its composition
more than does any other artificial light.
Artificial lights are found to produce
much the same effect upon plants as
does sunlight, only in a smaller degree.

Items In Wheat Culture.

For wheat seed bed one wants firm
ness as we'll as fineness Use the roller
two oE three times, the last time just
before drilling, If the soil is fine and
we'll firmed, it will draw up moisture
from below, nearly always. Being firm
below the seed, it brings the moisture to
the seed TO oanse it 10 sprout The inch
Of mellow soil acts as a mulch and the
sprout comes up through it readily. 7.
B. Terry, a successful Ohio farmel who
sows wheat on potato stubble, writes in
relation to the amount Of seed to the
Ohio Farmer as follows:
If can get the wheat in by the 10th
of September, l SOW SO quarts of wheat
as small as Fultz. II two weeks later,
would SOW eight quarts more. The
wheat would then have less time to
stool out, and l would help make this
up by having more plants. One needs
about so much growth for winter pro
lection. This might not be seed enough
for some soils. II SOW too much seed
the wheat is more liable to lodge. 1t
makes the straw weaker to have too
many plants. Plenty Of room and sun.
light makes healthier, sitter stray. We
have tried all the way from bushel to
az, aud after long experience conclude
the amount named to be as bearly right
for us as we can tell beforehand with
out knowing what the season. Yill be,
OF course we would sow more Of Wheat
having very large berry, such as the
early red Clawson. The Fult2 is small,
and SO quarts give a pretty good stand.

News and Notes.

A profitable job is that Of growing
tout of season crops"
New hay is scarce and much of it is
Of poor quality.
The acreage Of potatoes this year is
about eight per cent above that Of last
year, and present conditions are gener-
ally favorable.
The condition of sweet potatoes is
considerably below that Of last year.
The seed division Of the agricultural
department will be abolished on Oct. /.
Visit at least one good agricultural
fair this season.
An overdose of electricity will kill
plants as we'll as man. The electric
current has consequently been employed
to destroy weeds along railroad tracks.
1t is claimed that these electrical weed
killers are very effective.
According to Southern Cultivator,
tobacco growing is very profitable in

The potato crop Of the northwest bids
fair to. be u very large one.
The White Egyptian is a variety of
winter oats grown in Oregon, Washing
ton and also in Idaho, for which claims
are made that its yield is nearly double
that Of spring oats,
Experiments at the Iowa station with
corn and potatoes showed that crops
cultivated once a week during 48 days
drought made full crop, while those
given only ordinary culture were an en-
tire failure.
At the station at Lincoln, Neb., con
tinuous shallow culture, creating dust
mulch, is regarded as next to irrigation
in time of drought.
"It becomes more and more appar-
ent," says G.. @. Georgeson OF the Kan
sas station, "that for hay we must de-
pend more on cultivated crops with
drought resisting qualities and short
periods of growth, like sorghum and sofa
beans, rather than ON the time honored
meadow grasses Of eastern longitudes' "
The scarcity of hay this season makes
attention to saving the straw of the
wheat and oat crops more than usually
important.

WHEN 70 lRR,eArs AND HOW.
A. Explained by q Correspondent OF tbs
Kansas Farmer.


The very first duty Of the irrigator
who has his lands in proper shape to
irriRate is TO turn the water ON in suffi-
cient volume to thoroughly wet the
ground, including the subsoil. In all
cases where water can be obtained in
the autumn, after the seasons crops are
harvested and before the ground freezes
up, turn ON volume equal to four to
six inches Of water, which will soak
into the ground and much Of it will be
stored there to assist in supplying the
requirements for the next years crops
If this has been done, then when the
frost leaves the ground in the spring
the soil will be found to be quite fri
able; as the freezing expanded the earth
particles it left interstlces between
these PARTICLES into which air finds its
way.
1t would seem that air is as impor-
tant and as necessary for plant life and
vigor as it is for animal life There
fore, every effort must be made TO re-
tain this air in the soil A flood of
water drives the air out, but il the
water be allowed to soak away into the
soil and the soil allowed to assume q
normal condition before being stirred
the air will follow the receding water
and again take its place.
In good time before plowing in the
spring water the ground thoroughly.
When in good working condition, plow
carefully, then as soon as possible har-
row or otherwise pulverize the soil very
fine. Cultivation, careful cultivation,
intense cultivation is more important
from now on until crop is harvested,
than water. Do not depend on water
alone, but depend more on careful and
intense cultivation to produce the big
crop yields Many irrigators just un-
dertaking farming by irrigation are liza
BILE to drown the crops Besides they
will waste the water by putting too
much on the ground during the growing
season, by watering too much at a time
or too often.

Charged Cholera to White Men.

Australia has arrived, bringing the fol.
lowing from Honolulu: But two cases
Of cholera have developed in the past
ID days. The record to date is 81 cases,
OF that number 68 died. But two white
people have succumbed TO the disease.
OF the total number of cases, SO were
Hawalians. The natives persistently
refused to report cases until the victims
were dead or dying. They claim chol.
era is brought to the country to exter-
inmate them, and blame the white men
for the visitation.

Fertilizers In Irrigation.

In some localities the notion prevails
that the irrigating water can always be
relied upon to supply any lack of fertil-
ity in the soil, but such is manifestly
not the case A certain amount of hu-
mus may no doubt be deposited during
some irrigations when the water is filled
with sediment due to recent freshets,
but often this condition is found to
work inconvenience if not actual dam
age. In any event the use of fertilizers
should not be considered unnecessary,
according to The Irrigation Age.
