dubbed to death. The people would
have killed him at once IL they had not
been restrained by the gendarmerie.
Arroyo was taken to the police station
and was afterward stabbed to death.
The next work of the assassin was
down in Brazil. The President of this
republic was Dom Prudente de MOraes
Barrios. Commonly, however, he drop
ped the Barrios from his name. After
Piexotto, the first President, had put
down the rebellion of 1S93-94, Moraes
succeeded him in the high Office. Early
last year Moraes had n little rebellion
on his own hands, n revolt led by n
fanatic In one of the provinces. Brazil
became prosperous under the new Pres
ident, who was mild in temperament,
though exhibiting great determination.
Early last November soldier of Bra
iii, Mello by name, tried to shoot the
President. Men nearby protected Mo-
raes, but his nephew was wounded.
Gen. Betancourt, minister of war, drew
close to the soldier and attempted to
secure him. In reward he was stabbed
so severely that he died In a few min
utes. This was not the act of a solitary
crank, but the result of an organized
attempt to get rid Of president who
had shown vigor in suppressing the
fanatics rebellion. Soon after the po-

Wood Ashes for Potatoes,


OF the fertilizers that can be secured
on the farm unleached wood ashes
make one of the very best that can be
used with potatoes, writes n. j. Shop
herd, in Nebraska Farmer. They can
be applied In the hill or In the furrow
broadcast, but 1t will be an exceptional
case when sufficient quantity can be
secured to apply broadcast over the
surface. For this reason applying in
the hill will prove most economical.
The ground can be prepared in a good
filth all ready for planting and the
burrows run out and then n small guam
tity Of ashes dropped where each hill
is to be planted and stirred In the soil,
and upon this the seed can be dropped
and covered. Potatoes require potash
and phosphoric acid, and this can be
supplied with unleached wood ashes,
bone dust or bone meal or in CONNER
cial fertilizer with less waste than In
almost any other way. If farm or sta
BILE manure Is used it should always be
well rotted and fined and then thor
oughly Incorporated with the soil. My
experience Is that applying fresh ma
nure to the soil just before planting
furnishes conditions favorable to the
development of scab and also in many
cases produces fungy growth of tub

An Execution to the Rule.

There Is an old saying that "the more
you kick a dog the more he will love
YOU" but there are exceptions to every
rule. Some years ago was stationed
mt Davenport. A friend of mine (whom
1 will call Batcs) owned n handsome
retriever dog. The animal received
more kicks than caresses from his mas
ter. and I was continually renonstra-
ting with my friend on his cruelty to
the dogs; but his only answer to my
entreaties to be kind to the animal was
the usual one, "The more you kick him
the more he will love you"
was very kind to the dog. and my
kindness was well rewarded, as the
sequel will show. ,a /,
One afternoon Bates and engaged
boat for a row. Bates tried all he knew
how to prevent his dog getting into the
boat, but eventually prevailed upon
him to let the dog accompany us.
On the return journey fog came ON
and a passing steamer swamped us,
with the result that our boat upset, and
we were struggling in the winter. We
could not swim, and the steamers
crew could not see us, although they
could hear our cries for help.
AS I was sinking the dog grabbed
me and pulled me to the upturned boat;
but I could not get him to save his
master, who was drowned.-Casselrs

Low Prices for Tomatoes.

Tomatoes can be grown more cheap
ly than potatoes, and at the same prices
per bushel the vegetable grown above
ground pays better than the other. The
chief cost of the tomato is the waste
that is incurred in marketing the crop.
In the hands of dealers the tomatoes
often shrlvel and become unstable.
and this of course adds to the selling
price of what can be marketed. But
where canneries take the crop as fast
as 1t is ripened, the managers find that
they can induce the growing of toma-
foes by the acre at much lower prices
than most farmers thought 1t would
cost to produce them

Unhappy Must BE the Rulers Of the
Latin America. -

eltI
For the last year Latin America, al
ways turbulent, has been the scene OF
a reign of terror compared with which
European uprisings are nowhere. Three
rulers have been assassinated, attempts
have been made on the lives Of two 9TH
ers and plots and conspiracies against
still half dozen others have been nip
ped In the bud. The assassination of
the President of Guatemala, Barrios,
ends the career of a man whose position
was founded on the murder Of his OPP
ponents. Central and South America
have been noted for years for the rap
idfty of their revolutions In govern
ments. This everyone knows, but the
methods Of the assassins of presidents
have obtained but little attention.
In only one instance out of a dozen
has there been spasmodic attempt at
the murder of ruler. When the two
martyr Presidents Of the United States
fell there was no sympathy anywhere
with the assassins. Booth thought he
was doing the South service, but the
South repudiated him then and ever
since. Guiteaus act was that Of a
crazed partisan. But when a presi-
dent Of a republic in Central or South
America falls under the knife or the
bullet of the murderer the whole coun-
try, except the immediate followers of
the victim, exclaims 1T Is well. Now
we shall have peace"
A year ago the President of Uruguay
was Don Iriarte Borda, the son of a
Frenchman, and who by surviving half
a dozen revolutions had reached the
highest position in the republic. Last
year he was accused Of fOmenting an
overturn Of the government. In April
man fired a revolver at him ut short
range, but missed him. The next month
another man tried unsuccessfully to
kill him with dynamite.
In August, however, his hour came.
AS he was leaving the cathedral at
Montevideo, after TIE Deum In con-
nectiOn with the celebration of the I'D
anniversary of the establishment of the
republic, youth named ArredondO
fred two shots ut the president, who
died almost ut once. The people Of
Montevideo did not allow gayety to give
way TO grief.
Senior Jose Cuestas, President of the
Senate, succeeded to the presidency Of
the republic until the election in the
following March. In December an ex-
policeman tried to kill him, but the by
ISLANDERS warded him off.
The next ruler marked for death by
the assassin was President Diaz Of
Mexico. Again n national holiday was
selected for the commission of the
crime, Sept. 16 being the Independence
Day of Mexico. The President had just
left the line of the military parade with
his Secretary of War, when a Mexican
named Arroyo struck the President on
the back Of the head with his fist. Not
one of the Presidents of the republic
to the south Of us is beloved of his peo-
pie as DiaZ. The assailant was seized

In one year the hens Of the country
will pay the net bonded debt of Great
er New York and have enough left to
buy all the gold and silver mined dur
ing the year-that is, If they could bor-
row $1O,000,000 from the ducks and
geese. One years earnings will buy
all the minerals produced in q single
year, and will pay, in addition, every
cent of the interest on farm mort
cages. The American hired man, taken
as an individual, Is a person of small
consequence. He Is usually neither dig
nified or desirable; yet the 3,454,67
farm laborers in the country earned
last year in cash, board not included,
1862, 740,665. The fact Is that the hens
and the hired man taken together, in
two years earnings, would buy all the
church property and have enough left
to pay all pensions and all our public
school teachers. The same sum would
pay operating expenses for all Ameri-
can railroads for one year, and also
pay the wages of all the clothing max
ers, all the iron workers, all the cotton
mill hands, and all the carpenters in
tne land. One bushel Of wheat, costing
80 cents, will feed hen for 800 days.
IL she lays 100 eggs, worth two cents
each, she will increase the value of the
wheat to 81, which is enough to haul
one ton of freight $50 miles or to haul
one passenger fifty miles. After she
has done all this she will return %
cents worth of the fertilizing value Of
the wheat to the soil for another crop.

THE OLD M'KINLEY HOME.


Standing In the county of Antrim
Ireland's northernmost districts a
comfortable old farm house, which un-
til recently attracted little notice, but
which has now become place Of more
than local fame. Parish oracles point
out the homestead Of Dervock with
JUNCTION, and Grant Americans drift
thither from Lorne, Belfast and even
distant Dublin. For this square-built
stone farm house was the nursing
home Of the house Of Mckinley, and
under this venerable roof was born
james Mckinley, pioneer Of the family
In America, and ancestor of the Presi-
dent OF these United States.
Two stories high, with narrow, small
PANIED windows. and a sort of leah-to
addition-such Is the outward aspect OF
the Mckinley cottage. Up to decade
since the roof was picturesquely thatch-
ed; but the present tenant tore away
the straw and covered the house with
more useful, but certainly less attrac-
tive states. In the low doorway stands

through which one gets view of the

Water Over Underdrains.

1t sometimes happens when severe
cold comes before snow and rain that
the ground freezes so hard over drain
ed land that when the snow is melted
the surplus water cannot at once make
it's way to the drain beneath. Some
times in winter these sheets of water
will be frozen over, during some cold
spell, and while thus covered with ice,
the water beneath it will find its way
through the tiles and disappear. No
harm comes to grass land thus left COW
cred with ice for two or three days.
But winter wheat is sometimes winter
killed by ice on the edges Of the pond,
where the freezing Of the water catches
the wheat plant in its icy embrace, and
often snaps the stem where it is joined
to the root at the surface of the ground.

harley IA Stock Food.

Barley Is not extensively grown, yet
1t is superior stock food and will grow
on soils that will not produce wheat.
In England hogs are fattened on bar
ley, and the meat contains more lean
than that produced from corn. In feed
ing pigs as test barley gave better
results than corn, pound Of growth
being secured from 3h pounds of bar
ley, ut cost Of &c per pound, which
was better than from any other food.
Pigs, however, grow more rapidly than
adult hogs. Ground grain proved SUI
perior to the unground. In steer feed
ing both corn and wheat surpassed bar
ley, and with lambs the results were
about the same with corn, wheat and
barley. Corn and barley mixed gave
better results than either alone in some
cases. These tests should make bar
ley. favorite where it Is not now
grown at all.

GREATNESS OF THE HEN.
Earnings of Poultry Exceed in Value
the Output of Gold and Silver.

Herbert w. Collingwood, editor Of
the Rural New Yorker, says: There are
in this country to-day, in round num-
bers, 375,OOO,OOO chickens and 10000
600 other fowls, such as ducks, geese,
and turkeys. During 1897 the hens
laid Ia, 4OO,O0O,O00 eggs. The export
price at New York City averaged 10
cents dozen, which makes the value
Of the egg crop $165, 100000. Poultry
sold as meat-as broilers, boilers, and
bakers-brought $125,00O,000 more,
making the total hen crop at a conser
vative rate $29O,O0O,OOO.
This great value of the hen crop is
scattered broadcast. We deal with it
chiefly from the individual side, and it
Is astonishing to realize how much it is
in the aggregate. In order that these
figures may be appreciated compare

There are two reasons why oats are
