Dishonest Bank Cashiers PInn Failed
Mt the Final Moment.

ut the Final Moment.
SHERIDAN, Wyo, Dec. 4.-(Special)-
Since the arrest Of Assistant Cashier Stone
of the Bank of Commerce on the charge Of
stealing the funds Of the bank it has become
known that Stone also tried to burn the books
of the institution in order to cover up the
evidence of his thefts. Stone has practically
confessed to the whole matter. The attempt
to burn the books was made several weeks ago
and at the time was thought to have been
an unavoidable accident. The books were all
opened at the same date, coal oil poured over
them and a lighted match applied, after which
a lamp was overturned and in an apparent
frenzy of excitement, Stone, who was alone
in the bank, rushed to the door and gave the
alarm of fire. Aid came too speedily, how
ever. and the flames were extingulshed before
much damage was done. In the light of the
subsequently discovered shortage in Stones
accounts the mystery connected with the fire
was cleared up and Stones guilt established.

Republicans VIII BE Unable to Or-
ganize the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec 4.-The populist
members Of the senate have taken step
which will probably result in the prevention
Of the reorganization of the senate by the
republicans, by resolving to stand together
against both old parties. Senators PETER.
Allen, Kyle and Butler, ranked as straight
populists and also Senators Jones and Stew
art of Nevada, upon whom some of the repub
licans have counted for assistance in case OF
an effort to reorganize, will stand together.
There no dissent against the PROPOSE
tion to stand together on the question Of
organization and to give no support to either
of the old parties in the election of officers
Of the senate or in other party matters.
Those present also decided to nominate their
own candidates for the various offices, in case
the other parties place candidates in the
field Selections will be deferred until ac
tion is made necessary by the republicans and
democrats. In case the republicans initiate
a movement in this direction the populists
will place full ticket in the field, and they
agreed that with this step once taken they
would stand by their candidate soldy to the
end. The republicans now lack three of
majority and will lack one after the Utah
senators come in.

National Wool Growers In Session.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The annual
meeting of the National Associ-
alton of Wool Growers began here today
The principal feature of todays session was
the annual address, of President William
Lawrence of Ohio, who dwelt upon the pres
ent distressed condition of the wool growing
industry and made various suggestions for
remedial legislation and concerted action to
secure better protection TO the growers
Resolutions will be adopted urging restora-
tion of wool to the dutiable list at a reason
ably high rate.
President Lawrence in an informal con-
ference told the wool men he did not expect
that any measure of satisfaction to wool
interests would be passed by congress until
full revision of the tariff should be made.
He submitted long memorial which he
suggested be adopted and presented to con-
gress, II recites the loss to sheep breeders
caused by the free wool schedule of the
Wilson tariff law, and fayors as temporary
relief the re-enactment of the Mckinley
schedule, with slight notifications. Theo-
dore Justice Of Philadelphia advocated this
re-ensctment as temporary relief, and said
the Mckinley woolen tariff had yielded for
three years an annual revenue of s42, 900 900.
Placing wool on the free list. he said, had
80 far caused a loss Of 100000 900 to the
wool growers. The re-enactment of the Nc
Kinley schedule he urged. should take effect
Immediately, and these views were formu-
lated in proposed resolutions which Mr..
Justice read.
Much of the session was occupied In ad-
dresses by representatives from different
parts of the country, who told of the I'M
satisfactory condition Of the wool industry
in their localities. During the day a reso-
luton was offered that congress be asked |
to pass. as a partial measure of relief |
Schedule K-Woo and Wooens," of the |
Mckinley law. This however was objected |
to by some OF those present on the ground |
that the duties provided for by that schedule |
were not high enough, and the resolution, |
after some discussion. was referred to |
committee OF five. whose duty 1t is to draw |
up memorial to congress asking for re-
lief for the wool industry. This committee |

The Kieffer Pear.

Apparently the most valuable pears
for general culture that have been in
troduced for years are the Le Conte and
Kieffer. The lie Conte is the money pro-
ducing pear Of the south, but the Kieffer,
which is steadily gaining favor in the
central and northern markets, succeeds
even north of the cotton belt. AS a late
fall pear, there is no variety which
gives such general satisfaction, or such
profitable and sure returns, In the south
ern states 1t evidently ranks with the
Concord grape in point Of popularity. 1t
does very well for preserving purposes,
and its attractive yellow appearance has
greatly aided in creating an unprece-
dented demand for it. le trees are
early bearers and produce rom two to
three bushels Of fruit the fourth year
after setting them in the orchard.
The foregoing is from the pen Of a
Virginia correspondent Of American
Agriculturist. He might have added
that the Kieffer is coarse grained pear
and Of inferior quality to many other
varieties. 1t is, however, popular in some
sections and is excellent for canning pur-
poses. The lie Conte is also coarse
grained, bat Of better quality than the
Kieffer.

take pleasure in calling attention to q
new pile cure which has been remarkably
successful in curing every form of Itch

remedy Is known as the Pyramid Pile
Cure and is recommended by the best
medical authorities on account Of its alb
solute safety, ease of application, and in
slant relief from pain.
The Pyram i'd Pile Cure contains no
opium or other poison and does not in
terfere with daily occupation while using;
People who believed nothing but sur
Rioal operation would cure them have
been astonlshed Mt the results from sin

Mrs. Mary G. Tyler, of Heppner, Ore,
writes One package Of Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely cured me of piles from
which have suffered for years, and
have never had the slightest return OF
them since. -

Cheap Farm Fence.

A Utah correspondent of Rural New
Yorker writes:
An all important question for all
farmers is how to make the best and
cheapest fence that can be made. This is
done by setting close together, say, to
10 inches apart, Lombardy poplar cut
tings, or any wood that will grow from
cuttings, large or small, close enough to
be live fence against all kinds Of live
stock. II the cuttings are small, they
must be grown three or four years, to be
large enough to turn stock, but if large
cuttings 8 to inches through and firm
ly set and 6 to s feet long, they may
turn stock the day they are set. Such a
timber fence, if properly set, will make
the best possible fence and furnish plenty
of poles for all purposes. 1t will make
any farm worth from $40 to $40 per
acre more. 1t would if in general use be
a most perfect windbreak and change
the climate of every prairie country.

The Broom Corn Crop.

A large broom corn crop has been Sc
cured in the three states where COM
mercially grown. The compilation Of
reports sent to The American Agricultur-
ist points to total acreage Of 200, 100
acres, or more than double the area cul-
tivated in 1889, as returned by the GEN.
sus, yielding crop of 1000 tons, COM
pared with $4,000 tons in the census
year. There has been decided shifting
of the center Of broom corn culture and
material increase in production. A
few years ago Illinois was the leader,
but now Kansas has taken the first
place, the crop in the western part of
the state being found more reliable than
any other similar crop in the dry dis
trict. Kansas is credited with 141 200
acres, Illinois, 8O,5O0 Nebraska, 90,
600; other states, 5000.
The average rate Of yield per acre
in Kansas was 800 pounds; Illinois,
S25; Nebraska, 375; average for entire
country, $40. Broom corn growing
years ago quite an important industry
in portions of New England and the
Mohawk valley, has moved rapidly to-
ward the west.

Irrigation Abroad.

In many of the European countries,
where the art Of irrigation is much more
developed than in this country, much la
Dor is expended in fitting the ground for
irrigation. Two principal methods are
used for this purpose. One consists Of
many small bitches or laterals leading
from main ditch, so that the water has
to flood over the surface for very small
distance. BY this means the water is
evenly distributed over the ground at
about the same time and to the same
depth. Another method is to throw up
a system of bed work, the beds being
higher in the center and sloping both
ways. A ditch is made along the cen
ter of each bed, large at the beginning
and growing smaller as it advances
This allows the water to be distributed
quite evenly over the whole ground at
the same time.

SPOT DISEASE OF ORCHIDS.

It Is OF Nonparasitic origin and Is Caused
by Three Conditions.
The disease known as spot, which APP
pears under the form of brown blotches
ON the leaves of orchids, is familiar to
cultivators of these plants The disease
first appears under the form of minute
pale spots on the upper surface Of the
leaf, which vary considerably in number
and arrangement, being in some in
stances numerous and crowded, in others
few in number and scattered. Every
portion of the leaf is equally susceptible
to the disease, and the fact that very
young leaves Of diseased plants frequent
ly show spot has been considered by
some as strong evidence in favor of the
disease being due to some parasitic or
ganism. This, however, is not the true
explanation, the disease, proving couclu-
sively to be of nonparasitic nature and
with proper precautions to be entirely
under the control of the cultivatur The
small pale spots soon assume a pale
brown in color and gradually increase in
size. When the spots are numerous and
near together, they frequently run into

variable size and form. As the disease
progresses, the spots become darker in
color In many instances the disease
passes completely through the leaf.
forming a corresponding brown de-
pressed spot on the under surface. An
English authority, in report in The
Annals of Botany, summarizes the mat
ter as follows:
The orchid disease known as spot is
of nonparasitic origin, the initial cause
being the presence of minute drops OF
water on the surface Of the leaves at a
time when the temperature is exception.
ally low and the roots copiously sup
piled with water. Spot is, in the case OF
cultivated orchids, mainly, if not en-
tirely, caused by the three following
conditions: First, too high a tempera
ture; second, too much water, and mo-
sufficient air in contact with the roots
third, watering or spraying with fall
ing instead of rising temperature.

WinterIng Roses,

There are two ways Of protecting ten
der roses in winter-namely by letting
the plants retain their ordinary upright
manner of growth and mulching the
ground over their roots; the other way
is to bend down the bushes fat ON to
the ground, keeping them all one way
in the rows and holding them in place by
pegs, wire loops or the mulch. In either
case A to inches deep of the leaves and
the same Of rank strawy manure over it
should answer very we'll. But if you
have Bourbon, tea or other rather tender
roses to cover, Gardening advises to lay
them fiat on the ground, then cover
them with sods or loan, and over that a
mulching of leaves or rank litter. Earth
makes the safest mulch

from American Gardening is TO take

canes over while another person covers
them. This device does good work and
is used by many berry growers. Sketch

ADVANTAGES OF A ROUND BARN.
As Explained by an Illinois Correspondent
Of The Country Gentleman.

As Explained by an Illinois Correspondent
of The Country Gentleman.
Economy ought to have place in all
building calculations and convenient ar
rangement Of the interior part of the
barn is the place to find economy in a
barn. Following is the communication
of Country Gentleman correspondent
on the advantages Of sound barn. He
takes for illustration barn suited to
large farm, where many cows are kept.
This barn Of 100 feet in diameter has,
according to the correspondent alluded
10, these points to recommend it
First, economy of outside covering
Since the barn in square shape is more
economical from this point Of view than
the rectangular style, we will compare
the amount of weather surface per per-
pendicular foot. On the round barn, 100
feet in diameter, there is 314. 9 surface,
and the square barn of equal floor space
has 500. 2, or a difference of 1876 feet for
each foot Of height, not to mention
those gables, and it will cost less to roof
the round barn. The surface in the barn
proposed would be, if in solid square,
40 by 1876 by 610 feet per foot height,
or enough to make two round barns Of
the same height.
We want our stables all together and
feed overhead, and in the center Of the
place Of distribution hence we want
the barn high and take coarse feed stuffs
up by hay track, ETC., and need silo
(if you can feed ensilage) in the center
Of the barn. The 100 foot diameter
round barn gives the spaces as follows
Drive around outside, feet; first row
Of COWS, Z feet; alley to feed from,
feet second row of COWS, feet drive
around the silo in center, Z feet; silo in
center, "a feet in diameter This size
silo is too large to feed from all ovei
and should be divided; 1t would hole
probably 500 tons, 30 feet high, which
would only be 21 feet from barn floor.
The stable should be all on the sam'
level and no hogs kept in the SAM
building that the dairy barn is in. In re
gard to ventilation, each space betweel
the studding of silo has an opening a
the bottom which takes foul air on
from the bottom, from where it shoul
; go. There are numerous other advan
tages which the round barn present
which make it far superior to the squar
or rectangular one, but to enter into dc
tail would require too much for tn
D space. If readers, however, will take
: pencil and figure the advantages Of tn
round barn over the square one the
will doubtless discover these for then
selves.
