BOWLING ON THE GREEN.
An Ancient British Pastime Which
Has Invaded America.

An Ancient British Pastime Which
Has Invaded America.
Some of the big athletic clubs whose
athletic committees are always on the
lookout for new games have recently
taken up "bowling on the green"
very ancient British pastime. In its
present form it halls from Canada,
where it has been played in quiet
way for some time.
"A set of balls for green bowling con-
sists of one round yellow ball called
the lack" and eight bowls, which are
egg-shaped balls of lignum vitae. per-
haps six or eight inches long, with
small plate of metal let in at one end
and larger. one at the other, so that
the bowl can always be rolled in q
curve, which is in or out according to
the position of the hand and that of the
larger strip of metal.
In the American game two or four
can bowl. One throws the jack away
on the turf and all bowl at it. When
ball lies in the way the bowler at
tempts the curve. The player whose
bowl is nearest the jack when all have
bowled wins one point, and it is then
his privilege to throw the jack as far
as he likes in any direction for new
bowl. In this sway the game can wander
over an entire golf course and furnish
lots of exercise. # four players are
in the game they can choose sides or
not, as they like.
The game is substantially like the
old English game Of bowling, which was
declared unlawful under Henry VIII.
The law remained dead letter for
many years and was finally repealed so
lately as 1s45. In the English game the
playing is restricted to a green about
go feetsqnare, so that the players wan
der back and forth, and a skip or cap
tain is named on. each side.

DROVE BROTHER TO SUICIDE.
Forced Either to Marry an Heiress
or Take His Own Life

Forced Either to Marry an Heiress
or Take His Own Life.
A unique case growing out of the
suicide of Capt. George Lowenthal has
just terminated in the law courts at
Vienna. It appeared from the evidence
in the case that in 1895 Emil Lowen-
thai, a brother of the captain, agreed
to furnish money to the latter, who was
a roue and gambler, on condition that
he either marry the daughter of mil
Gonaire or commit suicide after the ex-
piration of two. years from the time of
entering upon the agreement.
Emil then heavily insured Georges
life in various companies and had in
serted in the policies clause declar-
ing that they would not be affected
after two years by the manner in which
the insured should meet his death.
George failed in his attempts to in
veigle a rich mans daughter to marry
him, and upon the expirati of the
two years he kept the other part Of
his agreement and blew out his brains
with revolver. ,.
Then Emil applied for the payment
of the policies on his brothers life, but
the companies had learned of the agree
ment he had made with George and re-
fused to pay their losses. Later they
caused his arrest on the charge of hav-
ing fraudulently secured the reversion
of some of the policies. n
The trial, which has just concluded,
resulted in the conviction of the &C.
cused. and he was sentenced to two
years imprisonment. 1t appears that
another brother and also a sister had
speculated by means of insurance on
Georges suicide. Emil was often heard
to say that he knew that George could
not induce wealthy girl to wed him;
that unless his brother shot himself be
| would prove himself scoundrel.

TO ESTABLISH A MUSEUM.

President Of Nicaragua Arranges for
Permanent Exhibit at Managua.
BY decree transmitted to the state
department through United States Con-
sui O'Hara, at Graytown, the president
of Nicaragua has established a nation
al museum at Hanagua for the perma-
nent exhibition of the resources of the
country. The institution is under the
direction of DR.. David J. Guzman.
j United States Consul Wiesike, at
Managua, has been earnestly at work
to secure from the Nicaraguan govern
ment a liberal concession for the con-
in that country, which should place the
capital, Managua, in direct commune
cation by rail with the Atlantic ports of
Bluefelds and Rama, and reduce from
fifteen to six days the time required for
communication with the United States.
He has addressed himself on this SUBJ
ject to President Zelaya and to Gen.
Espinoza, president of the country,
pointing out the many advantages to ac-
crue to Nicaragua and the United States
by the construction of this railway. He
did not ask the concession for himself
or his friends, but asked only that it be
bestowed upon United States citizens.
The correspondence on the subject,
which has reached the state depart
ment, shows that both President Zelaya
and Gen. Espinoza gave the project q
hearty Endorsement, and Mr.. Wiesike
has consequently secured promise
from Don Santiago Lejez, the represen-
tatiye in congress of the Atlantic coast
district, that he will introduce q. bill
based upon the consul's idea. ~ t H,

SWEET POTATOES.
How to Keep the Tnbers During Whit,

How to Keep the Tnbers During wIntor
Farmers near good markets, who
have suitable soil for sweet potatoes,
can usually make good money by stor.
ing some sweets for the winter trade.
There is no great trick about keep
ing them through the winter when
one has sufficient quantity. A limited
amount is difficult to keep, as the
moisture must be absorbed by some
artificial means, and the temperature
must be so regulated that little mois-
ture forms during changes in the out
side weather. But with large guam
tity conditions are different. The first
thing sought after storing is high
heat and then there is profuse sweat.
ing and evaporation of the moisture.
The place of storage should be warm,
dry and well ventilated. Some
house cellars are all right for the
purpose, but the storing is
not all right for the people liv-
ing in the house, unless the cell
ing is cementcd and there is no inside
door opening into the dwelling. The
moisture and odor are certainly most
unhealthy. Barn cellars are much
more desirable. The celar-room
should be nearly filled with the pota-
toes. SO that the heat from the latter
may control the temperature. II the
room is too large, u division may be
made by a double plank wall with saw
dust between. The potatoes should be
gathered in boxes with the least posi-
bic bruising, and drawn direct from
the field to the cellar, where they
should be stored in bins having ca
pacity Of lou bushels. The bins are
made with a single thickness OF
boards, and serve to prevent needless
bruising in storing and removing the
potatoes and afford some ventilation
from the floor to the top of the bins.
The potatoes should be stored abou,
five feet deep. Within few
days after filling the cellar Q the
heat in the potatoes rises to q
high point and the sweating is SO pro.
fuse that water runs on the ceiling and
walls, and the novice begins to fear
that the potatoes are ruined. But il

After the high temperature is secured

weels), to detect any defects of shape
that might be taking place. If the
feet are not growing level and SYM
metrical, they should be rendered so
by rasping away the horn which is not
naturally worn down. III that is neg
lected, the animal will soon have the
fetloclS joint bending over toward the
outside. On no pretense whatever
should the front of the wall be inter
fered with, for the glazed coating Of
Its surface protects the horn beneath
It, 1t should therefore be left un-
touched.
1t would be as well TO disabuse peo-
pies minds of a very popular falacy-
viz, that wet, soft ground, aud even
manure yards are. tie best places to
keep young horses-and some would
even have the frogs and soles
pared thin TO allow the mois-
ture TO penetrate more easily. No
greater mistake is made than that, for
the preservation of the hoof depends
to a great extent upon the soil the
animal was reared on. The best foot
ed horses are bred on dry soils, and
that is undoubtedly the kind of ground
best adapted to the healthy growth Of
horn. Young horses require plenty Of
exercise, and unless they are allowed
it, the growth Of the horn, etc., is sure
to be defective. Then the question
rises: when ought horse to be first
shod~ The answer is, when the work
required OF Che animal wears the horn
away faster than it is formed or grown,
or, in other words, so long as the horn
Of the foot can stand the wear re.
quires, it will not need protecting
(shoeing). Moreover, If the young
horses are not shod SO early, they will
not be worked SO hard, and fewer would
be ruined in their youth, as is too often
the case at the present time.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
WASTE ON The FARM.
The farm VIII Not Pay Unless tho Leal

The Farm VIII Not Pay Unless tho Leaks
Are stopped.
The farm can not be made TO pay un.
til the items of waste are enumerated
and taken from the account book. In
the western states water is wasted IN
irrigation, while in the east fertility Is
lost because Of no drainage. The soil
frequently wastes away from improper
tillage or careless treatment. Grain
and animal food IRE wasted through
feeding or stacking. Fruite waste be-
cause the trees are neglected or poor
Judgment is used in picking and pack
Ing. 1t whatever field or building
waste is discovered immediate steps
should be taken to check the drain and
prevent recurrence.
The most prolific source of loss that
has come under my observation is the
annual destruction of farm machinery.
In ride of 20 miles through the grain
fields OF Utah. / counted - harvesters
and mowing-machines left where last
used, and subjected to all the dangers
of midwinter. The same story may be
told of some of the eastern states /

chinery represents an outlay of cash or
n note equivalent What would a
banker think of farmer leaving the
money he had loaned him lying in a
ditch or on a stumpin the corn-field all
winter That is just what many Of
our farmers are doing every month in
the year-leaving money scattered
about to be destroyed by the frosts of
winter or the rains of summer.
| Another place where waste in no
ticed on the farm is in the stock yard.
From my house have looked out upon
u straw stack and counted not less
than 40 dunghill chickens scratching
away at the chaH in quest of barley.
The stack had been standing for four
months, and every day during that
time the fowls dug through the. snow
and sleet to get into the barley chaff.
The threshing was done by the best
machine in our section Of the country,
but it is u poor testimonial TO any
thresherman to see his straw stack
covered with fowls every day for four
months. Surely, there is an enormous
waste from the riddles and cylinder OF
machine that leaves II green stack
matted together with roots, or shell
tered straw pile the rendezvous Of
scratching fowls. 1t is poor economy
to grow good crop Of grain, harvest

Again, notice a wastein feeding the
animals collected in the corral or feeC
pens. This loss, however, is not from
giving the animals too much, but tn,
feeding of too small rations at unusua
times. Stock of all kinds should be fet

Let there be no Stacking in effort
until every acre upon the farm is put
upon paying basis. There is usually
way to do it if we but hunt it out.
The best way to treat weeds is TO
put cover on the land to prevent
them from getting foothold, and
nothing is better for this than a good
sod. Few weeds can grow in a good
grass sod.
When livestock get out to grazing
in the spring most Of their ailments
disappear as by magic. The reason
is that grass is Il balanced ration of it

is not.

United States is increasing at the rate

Were every farmer TO select by
hand few ounces of seed wheat,
heavy and plump, plant it by itself and
observe the result, we are sure the ex-
pertinent would lead to greater care in
selectng all the seed, and bring better
yields OF grain.
1t is proper for every farmer who
prizes the conveniences of life TO build
himself an ice house. Do it this fall;
it is a simple matter-and 1t is easy to
ill it. Let us have more conveniences
to this short life of ours
One can avoid all the expense Of
a covered barnyard by bedding the
stock properly and allowing the de i.
post to accumulate until load is
ready TO be hauled to the fields; there
it can be scattered and begin its work
OF usefulness at once.
Many farmers never find the full
worth of the harrow, and it Is conf
mon mistake, when preparing the
ground, not to harrow deep enough.
The clods just beneath the surface
often do more harm than those above,
as they prevent the moisture from ris-
ing.
