The Berry Garden.
Continued from first page.

Tartarian tree in the edge of my
fathers garden, and they were JUS
as nice as the California cherrieSs
At IS cents per quart that would
be SIS per tree, or $1,000 per acre.
One could divide that by three for
all contingencies of failure and still
have a yield which would compare
faworably with oats at 10 cents per
!bushel. 1t does not look as if cher
ries were overproduced when those
grown on the shores of the Pacific
are retailed all over the great fruit
growing States of Ohio and Michi-
gan and New York for 8 cents per
pound.
This is matter, dear reader,
which it might be we'll to consider,
especially if you live upon a warm,
dry soil. How would it do to do a
little better farming upon some other
fields and devote half that barn lot
to cherry trees. 1t would not spoil
it for a paddock for your sheep and
lambs, and you might wake up some
fine summer morning and find as
much money upon that little field as
upon the entire grain or meadow
acreage OF the rest of the farm.
recently heard Mr.. S. d. Will
lard say that his cherry crop for
1897 was engaged at certain, stip-
ulated paying price, previous TO
December I, 1896. One would
think that there would be over
production in Geneva if anywhere,
yet one canning factory has quickly
purchased all Mr.. Willard has had
for three years, and this year be-
spoken them eight or nine months
in advance. In respect to curculio
Mr.. Willard says that plums are the
first to be attacked, and if you have
plum orchard adjoining and keel
the curculio off of the plums b.
Earring there will be no stuns
cherries.

PRACTICAL FARM WRITERS.

! It is to be regretted that many
of our farmers and stockmen who
are best fitted to do their brethren
good through the farm papers are
SO backward about putting their
pens to paper. We know many
men whose long experience and
careful, intelligent observation
have made their Judgment on GER
tain matters of great interest and
value; yet, they could not be in
duced to write all article for the
paper, says National Stockman.
And we know others who have no
farms, never had, and never will
have unless as a gift, who are
willing and think they are able to
instruct practical farmers through
the press-at SO much per line or
per column. Every farm paper
has too many Zone is too many
of the latter, and too few OF the
former on it's list of contributors.
The obstacles in the way OF the
average practical man who thinks
of writing for the paper are more
imaginary than real. He is apt to
distrust his ability to say things
Ejust right, or to spell just right;
TOR he is likely to consider that it is
too great an undertaking for him.
This Is d mistake. There is no
i danger that the man who knows
4 what he is talking about will make
''Iany serious blunders when he
writes. If he can tell q thing to
his neighbor across the fence, he
can tell it to a man across the con-
: tinent. ALI that is necessary is te
write a plain, simple account
Never mind about the spelling
Don't let the punctuation scare
you out. The editor can attend TIC
these. Have something to say,
and say it as simply, clearly and
briefly as possible. This is the
sum total of good article,

GOVERNMENT WHlTEWASH.

The Government whitewash is
made as follows:
Take half bushel of unslaked
,plime, Stake it with boiling water,
cover during the process to keep
in steam, strain the liquid through
fine sieve or strainer, and add to
it peck Of salt, previously dis
solved in warm water, three
pounds ground rice boiled to a
thin paste and stirred in while hot,
half a pound Of Spanish whiting,
and one pound clean glue, pre-
viously dissolved by soaking In
cold water and then hanging over
slow fire in a small pot hung in a
larger one filled with water. Add 5
gallons hot water to- the mixture,
we'll and let it stand a few days,
covered with dirt. 1t should be
applied hot, for which purpose i,
can be kept in a kettle or portable
furnace.
The east end Of the President,
house at Washington is embellish

tonight destroyed the Hector corner
and several adjacent buildings, caus-
ing a less Of $4,000. The insurance is
about 20 per cent of the loss. The fire
wls discovered about o'clock in a
barn in the rear of the old Erickson
hotel, and the flames spread rapidly,
being famed by thirty-mile an hour
gale. 1t required the combined efforts
of the Moorhead and Fargo 1ire de-
partments to keep the fire within the
block, and about 10 o'clock it was un-
der control. The Peterson Mercantile
company are the heaviest losers. Their
stock was valued at 100000 and was
damaged about so per cent The build
ing, which was owned by Hansen
Bros, was damaged $4,000; insurance
$4,000. Simon Frasers loss was $1,000,
insurance $4,000; Lamb estate $4,000, in
surance $4,000. The other losses, in
many instances without insurance,
bring the total loss to $4,000. For two
hours the residence portion of the city
was in great danger and numerous
small fires started from cinders car
ried by the high wind. Had it not been
for the remarkably effective work of
the firemen the loss would have been

REIGN OF TERROR.
For four or five years, and even
longer, the farmers of this county
have been the victims of a lawlesS
gang, who, apparently lacking in fear,
have piled their vocation to the terror
of the people, for they seemingly have
had no visible means of earning
living. Farmers would come to town
with a bunch Of cattle or load of
farm products, and the next morn
ing they would be found along the
roadside suffering from wounds and
minus the proceeds of their sale. Old
German farmers have been visited,
and both men and women have been
subjected to all the tortures that
hardened mind could stand. Aged
German women have been forced to
stand upon a red-hot stove in an ef-
fort to compel them to disclose the
hiding place of some treasure in the
house. These depredations have con-
tinued increasingly. Arrests have
been made, but the guilty parties
have covered up their lawless-
ness, and it was seldom that convia-
tions followed.
During the past week these robberieS
increased alarmingly. On last Satur-
day word was received by the sheriff
that the store of Wooley Bros, at Cor
rect, Ind, ten miles from here, was to
be entered. The information was given
by one of the gangs confederates,

Henry Bushing arranged that this in

with five deputies they went to the
place. Sheriff Bushing concealed him.
self in the cellar, while his deputies
were stationed at a convenient dis
tance outside. Shortly after midnight
the gang reached Wooley Bros. store.
Gordon affected an entrance, and just
as he stepped inside the sheriff
grabbed him. Both pulled pistols at
the same time and began firing. Bert
Andrews was with the robbers, and he,
too, joined in the fusilade, while the
deputies came to the assistance of the
sheriff. Some thirty shots were fired.
The sheriff was shot through the hand
and Gordon was shot several times.
Three pistol balls entered his body, and
he was also shot in the leg. Gordon
and Andrews succeeded in escaping,

the robbery had been planned at the
home of William Jenkins. The two
latter were arrested as accessories. All
were taken to the Jail at Versailles.
While the citizens have not been able
to fix the various robberies upon these
men, they were thought to be part of

JACKSON, Mimi, Sept. IS. The
state capitol depopulated, it's business
houses closed, it's newspapers suspend
ed, seven cases Of yellow fever official
ly announced at it's very doors, with
many suspected cases at various
points, an embargo on the railroads
of the state and grave apprehensions
that the dread disease has obtained Il
foothold in numerous parts of the
state; wild alarm everywhere-such is
the conditions existing in the middle.
western and northern portions of Mis-
sissippi today.
All the fears of the citizens of jack
son in regard to the sickness prevalent
at Edwards have been realized. Dr.
Guiteras, the government expert, has
confirmed seven cases of yellow fever
and says there are many suspects
First the cases were reported as
malarial fever, then after time they
became dengue fever. Another wait
and they were pronounced suspicious,
and finally declared to he the genuine
yellow fever. During all this time the
disease has been spreading rapidly at
the rate of five or six new cases daily
until there are now forty cases In
existence at Edwards. The evolution
of the disease from malarial to yellow
fever was such that the people now
regard dengue as simply more con-
venient term than yellow fever.
Dr. Guiteras arrived at Edwards on
a special train at o'clock this morn
OF tn
telegram addressed to Dr. Guiteras
asking for information on the situation
at Edwards elected the reply that he
had no statement for the public Shortly
afterwards DIR. Purnell, who has been
at Edwards for several days, wired the
state board of health as follows:
Or. Guiteras arrived this morning. We
have visited number OF cases and the foi-
lowing are pronounced yellow fever: W. A.
Montgomery, Pat Montgomery, Mrs Anna
Henry, T. H. w. Barrett, E. E. Suttle, Miss
Mamie Austin three miles out in the coun-
try; Mrs. Champion at Champion Hill.
At 10 a. M, the following report was
made by DR.. Guiteras:
SIX NEW CASES
Edwards, Miss, Sept. 15.-Wyman, Wash
ington The diagnosis of yellow fever made
in six cases by DR.. Parnell is confirmed
seen. There are many children sick with
what is believed to be a mild type of the
disease. The cases are not confined to one
locality but all traceable to the Anderson
case which came from Ocean Springs The
medium of distribution appears to have been
the Champions. Mr.. Champion, who died,
was prominent man and many people con-
gregated in the house during his illness. DR..
Purnell is immune apd I recommend him as
competent to take charge of the situation if
necessary. 1 shall leave this afternoon for
Mobile unless otherwise directed.
The state board has instructed DR..
Purnell to place a Gordon of guards
around Edwards. Reports say that
the disease has also appeared at Clin-
ton and Smiths, towns near Edwards.
The state board has ordered the dis
continuance of trains on the Wood
vile, Miss, branch of the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley road.
The following order was promulgat-
ed today by the state board of health,
