To iill her place we'll not lind another;
The memories when she's pussed away,

Well do We remember that unhappy day,
Whom In the tomb thy body was laid.

The important business considered by the
meeting was the adoption of an amendment
to the constitution admitting women to as
sociate membership in the society and the
decision to have the societys building open
to the public during the summer months.
The adoption of this amendment to the
constitution makes a new class of MEM
bers and caused considerable discussion as
to the rights and privileges conferred by it,
An examination of the constitution dis
closed the fact that the law made no dis
elimination except in the matter of fees
charged for membership and in the matter
of voting for members. who must be elected
by ballot, when it is demanded by the
tive members. To provide for any ques-
tion of the relative rights of members Of
the society a committee consisting of
Bishop Coleman, Willard Hall Porter and
Henry c. Conrad was appointed to consider
the question and report a bylaw defining
the rights and privileges of the various
classes of members.
The amendment to the constitution
adopted last night, by unanimous vote.
admits women to associate membership in
the society on the payment OF fee of 81
yearly.
Captain II. D. Nones corresponding sec
retary read several interesting letters
from the Royal Academy OF History and
Science OF Stockholm, Sweden, relative to
the societys publications. The Swedish So
ciety acknowledged the receipt of publica-
tions from the local society and asked for
continuance OF the correspondence.
J. J Gallagher, librarian, was instructed
to purchase and file ten copies of the wo-
mans edition of the Every Evening.
The question of classification of the books
of the library was laid on the table.
On motion OF Bishop Coleman Henry c,
Conrad was requested to attend the Peter
Mnuet historical celebration held under
the auspices of the General Assembly at
Dover on April 23
The question OF increasing the public in
terest In the society was discussed from the
standpoint OF its relations to the public
and on the suggestion of Chief Justice Lore
that the rooms of the society should be
open for several hours every day. This
opinion prevailed and committee consisting
OF Chief Justice Lore, Willard Hall Porter
and John NJ. Rogers was appointed to ar
range for the opening of the rooms during
the coming summer. ..
Donations OF curios, an Indian hatchet
and two fine flint arrow-heads were re-

Value or a Dead Horse.

A concern in Philadelphia
makes, it is said, profit of 1914
on the carcass of every horse. In
the first place, the hide is valuable,
and the leather known as cordovan
is taken from the skin over the
rump. The other leather is soft,
and is mostly used for slippers and
heavy driving gloves. The hair
from the tail and name is made in
to haircloth, and the short hair is
used in stuffing cushions and horse
collars. From the hoofs oil is ex-
tracted, and the horny substance is
sold to comb manufacturers. The
leg bones are used for knife han
dies. The ribs and head are burn
ed to make boneblack after the glue
has been extracted. By various
processes PHOSPHORUS, carbonate of

FARM Notes.
Orchard and Garden.

now to a good advantage.
1t never Injuries tree or vine to
cut out the dead wood at any season.
Black rot is caused by the growth
of fungus upon the affected parts
of the grape.
Young strawberry plants are
often killed by the application of
strong fertilizers.
No other fruit requires SO much
manure or such thorough cult;va-
ton as the ounce.
SCOT water is an excellent fer
tilizer to use with the house plants
during the Winter.
Under no consideration should
water be allowed to stand around
the roots of plants.
During the early winter is good
time to haul out and spread ma
nure in the orchard
Gooseberries and currants are
easily grown and there is rarely
an oversupply of them.
Sugar maple is good either as a
forest or an ornamental tree. 1t
will do we'll on rocky hillside.
Fruit trees, grape vines and
bushes have no place in the garden
as they draw norrishment from the
soil
Successful fruit growers are those
that have clean orchards-this
means clear of rubbish as we'll as
weeds.
AS rule. it is al good plan to
plant the same kinds in blocks
rather than professionally through
out the orchard.
One of the most serious objec-
tions to giving the sheep the run, Of
the orchard, especially at this time,
is their propensity to gnaw the bark
of the trees.
The cherry is about the only
fruit tree adapted to roadside plant
ing. The tramping Of stock and
the passage of vehicles will kill out
any other kind
Peach and plum trees are less Ii
able to disease when grown in the
poultry yard. They will make a
better growth, and at the same time
afford a good shade for the poultry.
AS rule it is not good plan to
fill up an old orchard with young
trees. The soil is exhausted by the
growth of the other trees. The
better plan will be to start new
orchard.
Taking all things into consider
alton, the matted row system of
growing Strawberries is the most
profitable, especially if care is
taken not to let the plants grow too
thick in the rows.
Deep holes in planting a tree are
often a disadvantage, especially in
a clay subsoil. Dig the hole only
as deep as the tree is to be planted
which should be as deep as it origi-
grew in the nursery.
Pruning. when she plant is DOR
mant tends to impart vigor, but if
done when the plant is growing or
in leaf it checks growth. For this
reason feeble tree should always
besRruned in Winter.
An apple or cherry tree is much
more valuable if it shoots out low.
Trim from the top, as this will
cause the lower branches to grow
out. Winter is a good time for do
ing this kind of work.
Do not leave the brush and trim
mings from the trees lying scatter
ed around. Gather all up clean
and burn it. Rubbish of any kind
in the orchard affords harbor for
vermin of many kinds.
On most farms it will pay to de-
vote quarter of an acre at least
to small fruits. Plantin long rows,
sufficiently far apart so that the
greater part of the work of culti-
waiting can be done with a horse
and cultivator.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1895-12-21
ammonia, cyanide of potassium
and prussic acid are obtained, and
sometimes the meat is canned and
shipped to Europe.
Notes.

Oats should be fed, even if corn
is plentiful. All kinds of stock
relish a variety If it is but a
change of grain. Wheat, oats and
corn may be ground together. and
the ground food will be superior to
any one of the grains used in the
mixture.
Some people will be surprised at
the result of carefully conducted
feeding tests, by which it was ascer-
tanned that it costs 1851 to pro-
.duce 100 pounds of gain on lambs,
and $3.03 to produce the same gain
on pigs If about the same age.
The recent death of Massachu-
sets man from CHAMBERS gives an
other warming to all to avoid ex-
posture to this awful disease. The
victim had bought the horse from
which he contracted the malady
less than two weeks before his
death.
Celery is a plant that requires
moisture regularly. Soapsuds not
only answers we'll for that purpose,
but also seems to be a special fer
tilizer for the plants. Some of the
largest stalks and lunches have
been grown by the liberal use of
soapsuds.
1t is claimed that FIVE times as
much fruit of the 6rst-class quality
was yielded by Seckel pear trees at
the New York station that were
sprayed twice after blossoming as
by the unsprayed. The bordeaux
mixture was used to prevent pear
scab.
> Fruit-growing promises a good
reward in the near future. An in
creasing export demand affords a
market for, selected products. Evap-
Grafton is a, recognized auxiliary
and affords an outlet for the sur
plusage and the defective fruit.
Horticulture is not extending as
rapidly as our increase in popu-
lation. @
Stories float over from France of
cross-fertilizaSion by which fruit
that was cross between the apple
and pear was produced, and also
that a grape vine that grew close to
an apple tree developed a full
bunch of small apples, or "apple-
grapes" with a blossom end like
the true apple, and some of them
developing imperfect seed. Horti-
culturists will want to see them
growing before believing the story.

Five Years For Demanding His Own
MOuey-Judge witt Sets Aside
+ the Verdict.

Richard Brown, colored, was en-
ployed by Chas. II. Page, a white
coal-dealer. The employer was sum-
moned to the Police Court and find
So for not having a license on the
cart which Brown drove.
1t was not a case of reckless driv-
ing, but of the failure of Charles II
Page to put a license on all of his
carts running on the streets as pro-
vided by law.
He alleged that the failure to have
the cart on the street In accordance
with the provisions of the law was
due TO the negligence OF Brown the
driver. He accordingly deducted
from the paltrv wages OF Brown So
without Browns consent. This was
unlawful. He should have gotten
the money by legal processes.
Brown insisted upon the payment
to him of all his money and upon
the refusal of his employer to pay
him, threatened bodily injury. BE
did not strike or In any way try to
iDiurekhim.
Page paid him the So and had him
arrested, charging him with securing
by threat money from his person.
Brown was tried Saturday, 18th
inst. in the Hastings Court and Civ
en- five years I'm the penitentiary. A
motion to set aside the verdict was
made which motion the Judge took
under advisement.
Editor Mitchell called on Judge S
B. Witt. Monday morning, 14th
inst. but as he was on the bench. we
visited him again Tuesday morning.
In reply to our query about Browns
case, he said "Oh, wouldn't LET
that verdict stand. / have set II
aside. The prisoner pleaded guilty
to assault and battery and was sent
to JAIL" Assuring him that ht
thought he would take such action
the editor retired. The jury CAV,
