Amber Cane.

At the request Of number of
farmers who are interested in the rails
ing of cane, write this short article,
giving my mode of raising, harvesting
aud the usual yield per acre, Any
ground suitable for corn will raise
good cane; the newer the better as
there are less weeds to contend with.
Plant in rows one way, the rows run
ming north and south. By SO doing, it
gets greater amount Of light and
heat, which is necessary 10 develop the
saccharine properties of the plant
Plant when the ground gets warm, say
from the 18th to the Goth of May: be-
ing careful TO have the ground we'll
pulver2ed before planting Plant in
hills about two feet apart, putting
from 6 to 5 seeds in a hill; and not
deeper than one inch. Cultivate the
same as corn, howing once or twice
and thinning down to five or six stalks
in the hill. Cane needs close atten-
tion when small After it gets start
it will take care Of itself When the
seed is in the dough state, strip OF the
leaves either by hand or with a four
pronged fork. Have Il frame like a
sawbuck made Of fence boards, the
heads about three feet apart and large
enough to hold good armful. Take
four rows cut and lay on this frame
with the heads even and past the
frame about Is inches. When you get
a bundle cut. tie band of twine
around the heads, and two around the
stalks; then remove the heads with
your corn knife; and the bundle of
cane leave lying on the the ground till
it is ready to be hauled to the cane
mill. An average yield for cane is
from one to two hundred gallons per
acre, which sells readily at from 40 to
50 cents per gallon. | find the seed Is
about equal to crop of corn; or,
from 20 to 30 bushels per acre.
All who wish TO raise cane can have
the seed of me free, if the crop is
brought to my mill to be made up.
will also guarantee 40cts, per gallon
for the syrup. am preparing to
manufacture syrup at my residence in
this city the coming fall, putting in a
new steam plant. JNo. c. MARTIN.

Death of Henry Curry.

Mr.. Henry Peters Curry died on
Tuesday morning, April IA, at about
six o'clock, at the home of his parents
Mr. and Mrs. W. \. Curry, Of this
city; aged - years and six months.
From The Tribune of today we take
the following:
Deceased was born and reared i'll
Mineral Point, and nearly all of his
short life had been spent in this COM
munity. He was of genial, kindly
disposition, making him popular
among his associates and compan-
ions, who will learn of his death with
keen sorrow. Physically he was
never rugged, and when he returned
home from Denver some four months
ago, it was apparent to Immediate
friends that he was seriously i'll.
Despite the best medical skill, and
careful nursing, lie grew steadily
worse, and soon the sad realization
came, that quick consumption had
settled upon him, that recovery was
impossible, and that at best he could
be held among us but for Il few
months. Still the end came sooner
than expected, and occasioncd Il
keenly painful shock. The day pre-
ceding death he was apparently not
worse than for some time before, and
nothing indicated immeniate disso-
luton, About 10 o'clock Monday
night the final struggle began, and
ended at the hour stated. The close
was calm as the bright spring morn
ing. The dying man called his
father to sit by him, saying that
though he could not clearly see, he
wanted to feel the kind presence.
He also asked to have his little
daughter brought to him from the
homo of his mother inlaw, where
the child had spent the previous
night, and urged haste, lest he might
"fall asleep" before she came. The
child was brought as quickly as pos
sible, but before her arrival papa's
eyes had closed in the sleep that
knows no waking.
Deceased was married four years
ago to Miss Lille Lancaster, the day
of the funeral being the anniversary
of their wedding. Two children were
born to them. The eldest, a son, died
about year ago; the second, \ daugh-
ter, survives. The young widow,
father, mother, brother, and sister,
form group of mourners with whom
many friends sympathize.
For some months previous to his
death he realized that this earth was
not long to be his hom". He put his
trust in God, and calmly and patient
ly waited the end. Death came, and
his bereaved relatives sorrow, but not
as those without hope, for his last wish
was that they might meet him in
heaven. The funeral took place on
Thursday afternoon, with inteTmtnt in
Graceland cemetery.

round
Yot movln all 80 quictlike they hardly make
sound:
OF streets o. rushin people, who ore busy day
and night
An dances an receptions in the world tboy call
polite.
I'm sittin here an thnkin, an there's Marthy
sittin by
A-worhln at her knits.n an n,masin needles n.y.
Her dress amt much to hoast ON, an hor hair
IL gittin gray,
She wouldn't cut much flgger in tho world
that = light an gay:
But Marthy heart is younger, an her smilo Is
Jest as bright
AS any in the bathrooms of tho social world to-
night
The cnnGlo amt gaalight, but reckon !
don't care:
It's burnn good an steady, m ! lind my easy
chair
Is mighty soft mn rcstin an nffordin all the Joys
OF any IL tho city with It's hustle nn is noise.
An so I'm kinder thinliin, If tho city was ar
rayod
'Gainst Marthy an tho armchair why-you hct
i wouldn't trade.
