1t seems incredible that two men who
have been officers any considerable time
in n city like Louisville could have been
so ignorant of the very elements of the
law governing the making of arrests as
TO cross over to Indiana and undertake
10 arrest even n fugitive from justice.
Yet there IS an impression that there is
no limit to the jurisdiction of an officer
if he calls himself detective. When
stimulated by the offer of Il reward.
State lines disappear and the official
mandate of court is Of 10 cOnse-
uuence. They seem to assume that a
detective, in order to detect, must have
autocratic power. 1t does not yet ap-
pear why the Louisville officers shot
Rippey, but it is possible that they mis-
took him for the escaped prisoner
whom they were looking after, and,
having a gun in his hands, he was shot.
Whatever the cause, there was no eX-
cuse for it. The Louisville officers had
no right to be seeking any sort of n

Canned Meats for Summer.

1t is not always easy in country
places to buy fresh meat during hot
weather. The result is that many farm
ers only have fresh meat during the
winter season while it can be kept froz-
en-. Yet canning meats for summer use
is just as practicable as canning fruits
for winter use. 1t is done by putting
the meat In wide-necked bottles, pack
ing it closely and then putting the bot
ties in warm water which is slowly
brought to the boiling point. The bot
ties should be set on blocks of wood to
prevent breakage. After boiling long
enough to expel all air, cover the top
of the meat with lard and then seal
tightly over it's surface. Meat can be
thus kept sweet and good for months.

The New York World says that at a
recent dinner an English publisher, who
IS perhaps at the head of the trade, said
that out of 30 manuscripts submitted
during the year for publication his firm
accepted only twenty-five. Another
publisher stated his ratio of acceptances
as about four in every hundred manu-
scripts received. These publishers rep
resent the class which deal fairly. pub
lish at their own risk and do not make
a business of preying on the vanity of
young authors. So it seems that even
under the most favorable conditions the
aspiring author has only about eight
chances in the hundred of getting into
print at some ones else expense

Guiding 5000 ladies of the harem. Of
the latter, however, the Sultan can only
show marriage licenses for seven, as he
is not permitted to espouse more than
that number of wives by the Mohan-
medan law. There is Il family tradi-
ton among the heirs of Oaman that it
is necessary for them to speak in a
loud voice, originating probably from
the habit of terrifying their subjects
and inspiring feeling Of awe for the
commanders of the faithful, and it is
said that the present Sultans voice is
strident and imperious.

Cisterns Under Barns.

Every barn will shed from its roof
enough water for all the stock that can
be kept on the feed it contains or the
cattle it will shelter. If this water Is
duly conducted into a cistern in the
barn basement and filtered before US
ing, it is much the best water the stock
can have for drink In the basement
the water will never be down to freez-
ing temperature, which is an import
ant matter, as every degree of cold has
to be warmed to animal heat by the
carbonaceous food that the animal has
digested If it is milch cow that has
its water thus warmed, it detracts just
so much from the butter fats which the
milk will contain. That is about as ex-
pensive warmth, even at low prices for
butter, as the farmer ever pays for.

Straw to Protect from Cold.

Wherever straw is plentiful it is very
easy to save stock from suffering by
extreme cold. Layers of straw sep
arated by something sufficient merely
to keep them apart and inclose an air
space will keep out cold as effectively
as will wall With a few poles from
the woods and plenty of straw many a
poor farmer has kept one or two cows
as comfortably stabbed as if he had a
basement barn. But the straw stable
will probably need some repairing even
before the winter is over, and more or
less hay or other feed will be wasted
while it is being carried to the animals
kent in it

AGRICULTURAL NEWS
THINGS PERTAINING TO THE
FARM AND HOME.
Suggestions for Those Intending to
Start al OrChard-Small Farmers
Should Devote Their Time to Special
ties-Straw as a Protection.
Starting an Orchard.

The ground for an orchard should be
well and deeply cultivated, and Gree
from weeds, we'll drained, if the soil
requires it, and moist soils are better
for draining except sandy or light
gravelly soils with light subsOil. Such
land may not require draining, but in
every case it should be we'll worked and
pulverized and enriched. The work of
preparation must be done during the
summer so as to be ready for fall or
spring planting. Planting i'll the spring
is preferred, which will enable the trees
TO take firm hold of the earth and to
resist the frost of next winter; but
planting may be done successfully in
the autumn by protecting the trees so
as to prevent the frost from heaying or
misplacing them.
Select young, healthy and vigorous
trees, and from Il reliable nurseryman,
and if possible from a soil similar to
that in which you intend to plant your
orchard. The different kinds of ap
pies will depend upon your own choice
and the suitability of soil and climate.
l advise that the selection be made
from the old, tried and reliable kinds
The distance apart should not be less
than thirty feet, SO as to allow the trees
room to spread their branches and to
form low and spreading head. Close
planting has Il tendency to force trees
to run up, and preventing the fruit from
obtaining its proper color from the sun,
and making it more difficuIt to gather
the fruit. At the distance of thirty feet
apart it will require twenty-nine trees
to the acre. Before planting the tree,
remove all bruised and broken roots by
cutting clean with sharp knife. Lay
out your ground in straight lines, so
that your trees will be in line each way
and at equal distances, thirty feet
apart.-William Gray, in Farmers Re-
view

likely to be made keeping fattenlns
hogs and other animals after the time
that they are fully fattened. Most Of
the grain thus fed is practically vast
ed. 1t produces not one-half the pork
that it would if given during the sum-
mer season in small quantities as an
addition TO what the pigs find in the
pasture and orchard. 1t is this advan-
tage of keeping old corn in the Grip that
led TO an experienced farmer to say
that the ability TO do this was the best
possible certificate that the farmer who
could do it was successful and pros

The Sugar Beat.

The best type of sugar beet is a root
weighing one and half to two pounds.
and looks more like fat parsnip than
the big beets or mangel- wurzels tha +
some people seem to think are grown
for purposes. There are numerous va
rieties of sugar beets, but Klein Wan
zlebener is as much grown in this coun-
try as any. The raising of beet seed
Is going TO be quite an industry in this
country.
Small and cheap factories are not
profitable. In the present state of sug-
ar manufacturing only large factory
capable of working up at least $50 tons
Of ,beets per day Of twenty-four hours
can operate successfully. 1t is possible
for large central factory to have niI-
merOus raSpinG stations, but this is
merely to save transportation of the
raw beets to the central factory There
is loud call for some means of making
crude syrup or raw sugar from the
beet in small factories. this requiring
only moderate investment, the raw
nroduct to be shipped to the expensive
refinery TO be refined. American in
yentive genius is now engaged on the
problem.
How far one can afford to ship beets
20 a factory depends wholly upon the
rate of freight If 81 per ton is paid
for beetS delivered at the factory, the
nearer the grower lives to the factory
the better, as he can haul the beets to
the factory himself and get the full
price. If after the haul by wagon one
railroad freight it eats up the profits
very fast.-Orange Judd Farmer.

specia1ties for Small Farmers.

The farmer on a few acres cannot
compete in growing the staple grain
crops which, harvested as they are
now by machinery, can only be grown
proftably on large fields. The small
farmer must devote his time, skill and
land to special crops that require the
greatest amount of labor to make sue
cessful. If he does this thoroughly his
limitation as regards land will prove an
advantage, not an injury. 1t is only
by thoroughly mastering some one bus
mess and then sticking to it that men
make money This is as true of the
farmer as of men engaged in other vo-
cations
