Sweet Corn In Succession.

BY planting some Of the very earliest
sweet corn on rich land the last OF
April it is possible to have 1t on the
table from the middle Of July until long
after frost has nipped the leaves. 1t
Ia the late varieties of corr like Ever
green that are In order for late use, and
there should be at least two paintings
OF these, one for early and to ripen
seed. and the other late and not In
tended to ripen at all. II the corn Ia
cut before frost and the green a r are
plucked from the stalk and put In a
cool cellar, the corn will be nearly as
good most Of the winter as it was In
the fall. We know some farmers who
only can or dry corn for late winter
and spring use, as they keep green
ears Of their latest planting ft for use
until January or later. If the a are
left on the stalks they will ripen too
much to be In good condition, but II
plucked off and kept very near down
to freezing temperature and In a dry
place to prevent mold, late Evergreen
corr can be kept in condition long after
frost and snow have come.-AmericaD

Caring for Spring Planted Trees.
# half the trees planted each spring
uvad through their first season the de-
mand for nursery stock would not be 80
large as It now is. Yet we doubt wheth-
ar the lack of care in planting and
k.eping the tree in condition after
planting is in any way beneficial to the
nnrseryman The cost Of the tree and
all the labor bestowed upon 1t becomes
\ total loss If 1t dies. This is very dis
couro ging. and after a few such exper-
.ments the planter concludes that fruit
growing don't pay. which for him Is
probably a proper enough conclusion.
breaking Down Onion Tops.
There is some difference of opinion
among onion growers as to the necessity
for breaking down the tops before har-
yesting. II the stand is Uneven and OF
varied degrees Of ripeness, the tops will
die down 20 that the crop can be gath
cred without breaking them down But
most onion crops are not uniform IN
growth or ripeness, and Tor such the

In Memory Of Gen. Philip Kearne
Close his eyes his work is done!
What to him Is friend or foeman,
Rise Of moon, or set of sun,
Hand Of man, or kiss Of woman?
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? he cannot know:
Lay him low!
As man may, he fought his fight,
Proved his ruth by his endeavor;
Let him sleep IN solemn night,
Sleep forever and forever.
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? he cannot know:
Lay him low!
Fold him in his country's stars,
Roll the drum and fire the volley!
What to him are all our wars,
What but death bemocking folly?
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? he cannot know:
Lay him low!
Leave him to Gods watching cye,
Trust him to the Hand that made him.
Mortal love sweeps idly by;
Sod alone has power to aid him.
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow!
What cares he? he cannot know:
Lay him low!

TO Regulate Water Flow.
Regulating the flow OF water into
1,onghs and tanks Is something which
,,uses farmers or less anxiety
and trouble. for the reason that many
~ the patent regulators now in the
market fail to work satisfactorily for
env length Of time. Many simple home
made devices, however, can be made to
work. The one shown In the illustra-
zion, which is from the American Agri-
culturist, has a number of strong points.

Take Care Of the Forests.

Fortunes are being made in the lum-
Der business by those who understand
it. Where there is reasonable assur-
ance that wood and timber land will
not be destroyed by fire. its purchase at
a reasonable price is almost always a
profitable investment. Improvements
in handling and manufacturing are
such that "a log can now be brought
from the pineries by railway, put into
the boom, sawed, kiln dried, matched
and be ready for use in the construction
Of a building in sixty hours" Destruc-
tive methods Of numbering still prevail
and only in a few cases is care taken
to preserve the underground and young
trees. 1t Is probable that the State Of
Maine will soon enact a law restricting
the cutting of timber to trees above q
certain size.

Dry Lima Beans for the Table.

Dry Lima Beans for the Table.
Few of those who like the succulent
green Lima beans know that they are,
II not equally good, at least supe-
rior to common field beans when
dried for winter use. We used al
ways when growing Limas to put up
those that we could not use green, and
the winter supply was usually exhaust
ed before spring. We think a profit
able market for Lima beans in their
dried state can be found in most cities
OF villages IL farmers will tell their
city friends how good they are. Lima
beans have, even when dried, much
Of the rich, nutty taste that makes
them popular when eaten green. There
Is another reason also for saving the
late beans left Mt the end of the season
Tor use in winter. They are quite often
used for seed, with the result Of max
ing the Lima bean crop each year a
little later, so that in some places very
Few would be at for use until frost came
and nipped the vines. The first fruits
OF anything in which earliness Is i'm
portant should always be used for seed.

The water pipe enters near the top Of
the tank, which places the valve out of
water, thus relieving it Of all danger
from rust or the collection of sediment.
However, where necessary, the pipe
may enter nearer the bottom Of the
tank. and if the valve Is kept clear the
device will still serve its purpose. An
other point in its favor Is that, If de-
sired, the valve can be closed just as
efectually when the tank is One-fourth
full as when filled to the brim. The
lower half Of the long, jointed lever
connecting the valve and float has a
shorter one attached to it, the upper
end Of the latter having a number Of
holes in it. By having a hole in the
upper half Of the jointed lever and
using a pin. the angle at the joint can
be changed at will. Making 1t as large
as possible will necessitate the float be-
ing lifted near the top of the tank be-
fore the valve is entirely closed, but by
decreasing the angle the valve will be
closed while the float is still near the
bottom. A sealed can or bottle makes
q good float. A board or block of wood
soon becomes soaked, and In conse-
quence its lifting power Is greatly
diminished.

Grant and the Stab1eman.

While Cen. Grant was q student ut
West Point his parents moved to Beth
el, Ohio, and when theyoung man was
on a visit to them, in uniform, Of course,
the boys of the town made game of him.
Long years afterward, in writing his
autobiography, he remembered this un-
pleasant experience. Opposite u
house," he wrote, ''stood the old stage
tavern, where man and beast found &C.
commodation. The staAeman was
rather dissipated, but a man Of some
humor. On my return l found him par
aiding the streets and attending in the
stable b%arefooted, but in a pair Of sky
blue nankeen pantaloons-just the color
Of my uniform trousers-with a stripe
Of white cotton sheeting sewed down
the outside seams in imitation of mine.
The joke was a huge one, in the minds
Of many people, and was much enjoyed
by them; but l did not appreciate it so
highly"
To this occurrence there was an anus
ing sequel, not related by Gen. Grant,
but gathered by Mr.. Hamlin Garland
ON a recent visit to Bethel, and told by
him to the Washington Post.
The anne Of the jocose stableman
was Harrison Scott, and during the
war, after Grant had captured Donel-
son and Vicksburg, and was recognized
as a mighty commander of men, he was
riding along the lines one night hearing
abstractedly the roll call.
Suddenly the name Harrison Scott
was called, and a voice answered
Here"
Grant pulled up his horse. The cap
tain saluted. The General faced the
company. His voice was heard by
every man.
Harrison Scott, step forward"
The man came forward briskly, but
Eervously.
The Generals low voice seemed
m~enacing, as he said. Harrison Scott,

"Yes. sir"

Harrison was too scared to reply or
salute. and the General rode away.

Unfeeling comment Of Harrison's CON-
rades, and it certainly looked like it.
Its a case of court martial and a ball
and chain. That little joke Of yours
which you've Dragged about has got
another end to it,"
The hostler had strong thoughts Of
DESERVING, but concluded to face the
music.
The next morning he walked nervous
~ into the Generals tent. Grant looked
up.
"Sit down, Harrison. When did o
leave Bethel? How are all the folks?'
and he inquired infinitely about all the
people Of Bethel and Georgetown, and
together they laughed over the joke
about the cadet uniform.
At the close the General said:
I'm glad to e you, Harrison. When
you write, remember me to the folks at
Bethel"

CHARLESTON, Kanawna County, w.
Va, Oct. 2, 1896.-In the chill morning that
sent shivers down the spinal columns of
his audience, William ]. Bryan began an
other day of campaigning at Point Pleas
ant, w. Va. Mr.. Bryan, who had left
Wheeling shortly after midnight on spe-
cial train, accompanied by Governor Mac
Corkle, Congressman McMillin of Tennes-
see, National Committeeman McGraw of
West Virginia and a party of State poll
ticians, reached Point Pleasant at six
o'clock. Hastily slipping on his trousers
and buttoning his overeoat about his
throat, Mr.. Bryan went out on the plat
form and made a short speech. Several
hundred people heard him.
A reception committee of thirty-five
from Charleston, headed by Ex-Governor
E. Willis Wilson, boarded the train at
Red House. There was good crowd
there, but it's cheers were not sufficient
to waken Mr.. Bryan, who had gone TO his
berth after leaving Point Pleasant.
Charleston gave the candidate a hearty
reception. His train arrived at $40 AN,
and was greeted by big assemblage at
the railway station. a long procession
escorted the candidate about the streets
and then to the city park where he made
q speech.

A green motorman caused a serious ac-
cident yesterday on the Bayonne line of
the Consolidated Tract on Company. The
st. Leonard Guards of Newark started
in two special cars from Newark for the
Greenville Schuetzen Park, where they
were to have an outing. 1t was plain be-
fore the car had gone very far that the
motorman of the first car was unaccus-
toned to his work. AS he jerked and
Jared the car all along the journey by
suddenly applying the brake, but as the
party were all bent upon having good
time no one paid much atten-
ton to the motorman's conduct
When the cars We're near Pearsall avenue
about three blocks from the park the
mo torman of the first car underestimate
the distance between the car and cross
ing wagon and found himself in close
quarters. He quickly put on the brake
and brought his car to an instant stand
still. The car had been following at 4
reasonable d stance, but the motorman
could not check its speed in time to save
1t from crashing into the car ahead
The cars came together with a crash.
The passengers of both cars were hurled

gers, Anton Rupp, was knocked AGAINST
the guard rail, and the hook by which
caught into his left eye. The Ell lid of fons his :
eye was badly torn and the ball was sew

sprains and got general shaking 10.
The rear platform of the first car and the

Will WATSON GET OUT?
Sensational Rumors About the
Populist Candidate Preva-
lent in Georgia.

ATLANTA, Oct. q 1S96-It is freely ru-
mored here that Tom Watson has decided
to do what he could not get Sewan to do
get off the ticket. It is reported that he
has definitely made up his mind to take
such action, end that he will announce
the fact in a day or two.
Watson is here and he was asked last
night about the report. He refused to say
yes or no, but he let it be seen that he is
highly incensed a the National Campaign
Committee for allowing him to be traded
off in the fusion between Populists and
Popocrats in several States. In a speech
ct Stone Mountain, Ga, yesterday Wat
son defended his course in opposing fu-
sion on the Electoral ticket. He said that
he had refused fusion with the Republi-
cans in Georgia and in Texas.
HIS reason for so doing was that the
Populist party was organized as a protest
against the old parties and fusion would
be indo-Sing their faults.
IF we were to fuse with either of them
we would be stopped from attacking
them and would have to admit that they
were right -
