Horticulture.

Without q support of some kinC ,
grapes and ornamental vines seem
loath to grow. Give them even the
frailest thing to which to cling, and
change in their appearance can be
noted at once.
The pear slug is an easy victim to
Paris green. All foliage eating IN
sects are easily poisoned by spray
ing with solution of this drug
about an ounce to l6 gallons of
water.
The periwinkle and the common
honeysuckle are excellent plants to
bind the earth of banks together
and prevent washings; they will
thrive where grass will not-in
shady, dry places.
The extremes of winter weather
are sufficiently exhaustive to the
tree without having any superfluous
demands made upon its vital forces I;
it is better practice, therefore, to
prune in the spring when the leaves
are well started. Wounds then
heal more quickly and etfectually.
1t is not bad time to prune
grapes. Do it freely. 1t is a mis-
take to have half "a dozen branches
where there should be but one. The
one should give fine, large berries,
and punches weighing just as much
as the fruit on the half dozen shoots
which usually adorn the old vine.
To furnish rich, loose feeding
ground for the peach trees next year,

Clover is a little slow; but two crops
of rye or millet can be turned undo 1
during the season, and green crop
kept rotting for the rOOtlets to feed
upon all the time.
Because of fungous diseases, many
of your pear, cherry and ounce
trees were berett of their leaves
early in September, but they might
have been kept in healthy state
with but one or two poisonous spray
ings during the summer.

Do not sow nor plant anything too
thickly. tr The roots of plants should
not be so crowded that they can not
get their due share of food from the
soil, and the tops should have space
in which to develop and to obtain
their supplies from the atmC sphere.
We have a better seed crop Of
clover if we. cut the first crop early.
The later crop is'so much the more
valuable of the two that we are war
ranted in some sacrifice of the earlier
one; and then we know that the hay
crop diminishes in value after the
first full moon.
The pillow is the key to the store
of the strolling hands we employ are
good plowmen, and perhaps we do
not give this fact due consideration
when hiring. When breaking up
the land there must be a knowledge
of what Is needed in fitting it for
the certain crop which is to be plant
ed there.
In drilling wheat we not only get
the seed distributed evenly, but we
get furrow which will help to hold
the snow over the plant, and whose
sides will gradually crumble down
upon the roots and cover them as
they are heaved out by the frost.
Too much of one crop crowds the
work so that good cultivation can
not always be given. Especially is
this doubling up likely to happen
when the season has prevented the
planting of some other particular
crop. ,r g..
Corn better stands the wind storms
when cultivated strictly on the lev
Ell; it throws out brace roots above
ground which take hold of the soil
on every side. These should never
be disturbed; every torn rootlet is
replaced by new one, but it is al
ways at the expense of the vigor
which should go to the top.
The average farmer yet needs
many a sermon preached for his sal.
walton. No farm was ever made tC
do its best, and we have not learned
to economically gather and utilize
all its products. We cream Oul
fields, but do not condense all the
stubble into meat nor milk, or put il
into other valuable shapes. There
is better future for the husband
man.
While rye will break down, it will
not fall fiat, like wheat, to smother
a clover crop. Sow it on thin lane
to protect the young meadow it will
start earlier in the spring and grow
later in the fall rye shades and acts
as a retainer of moisture.
However good our lands may be
it is wasteful and ridiculous to pur
sue any other course than to put
every atom of vegetable matter un
der the ground which can be gath
cred. No intelligent farmer longer
discusses the question of burning his
straw or his stalks.
Next spring remember that the
best time to pillow a green crop under
is Just as it comes into full bloom
The nitrogen increases in amour

rapidly and is not 50 ready to yielC

Are there really any hard times
save for the idle grumbler? If there

CaItIe.

1t is not always safe to introduce
range cattle to our farms, and we
can, if we will, always raise better
than we can buy. Young feeders,
worth feeding, can not now be
bought, for those who raise good
grades will not sell them.
There is really no economy in win
tering cattle OF any kind unless we
save the manure. This is putting it
pretty strong, but our present kno WI
edge of this Kind of work warrants
the assertion.
Any farmer who depends on buy
loses sight of one of the best Opoor-
tunities before him for getting feed
ers economically. Cattle feeders
are paying too much for stock to
feed. Since good heiters are be-
coming popular in the markets 1t
should not be a difficult matter tor
any farmer to have something like
a car load of good cattle of his own
raising for his feed yard each year.
He can in this way find market

There is great scarcity of oxen
in Cuba, ana these are the principal
work animals of the plantations.
Many OF the great tobacco ralsers
have lost hundreds of yoke, and the
demand will be enormous. Nearly
all on the island have been con-
'tiscated by the commanders of one
army or the other as food for thelr
respective commands.
What can farmers do with their
acreage of grasses except that they
have plenty OF cattle, hogs Or sheep?
Thousands of dollars OF rough feeu

Dairy.

Before calving time there is no
better food for the cow than bran or

a little linseed meal; the starchy
heat producers are not so good.
Very little else will be needed if
there is still fair cropping in the
pasture. -,
The cow giving the rich milk is
the cow for the dairy, and no herd
can be put on an equality of produc-

HOW TO LOOK GOOD.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver is inactive, you have a bilious
look; if your stomach it disordered,
YOU have a dispeptic look; if your kid
neys are affected, you have a pinched
look. Secure good health and you will
surely have good looks. Electric Bit

Poultry.

If man has a flock of hens which
now averages hen 100 eggs or few
or in a year, and he can in single
season, at the small cost of one OF
two pure bred cocks, supplant them
with flock which will lay from l25
to 100 eggs in the same time, he
neglects his best interest if he does
not make the change. Now is the
time to get rid of the mOngrel males
and procure those which are valua
bic at moderate cost while fancier'
are getting rid of their surplus sup
ply.
The early Matched turkeys are full
grown by this time, ana the tatten
ing process should be commenced
Keep them in the fields during the
day, but feed them literally witt

should not now be fatted, lest til,

An inquest is in progress this af-
ternoon at Coal Valley to determine
in what manner the infant of Anna

came to its death, its remains having
been found under the floor of barn
on the Triglon place. 1t is generally
believed in Coal Valley that the child
was murdered, but who is guilty of

jury to say, after receiving the report
of Drs. Joseph De Silva, of this city,
and w. l.. Eddy. of Milan, who made
| a postmortem oeXamina ton of the
body. s71
The jury latethis afternoon returned
verdict that the child came to its
death from strangulation at the hands
of Mr.. and Mrs John Triglon. both
of whom were held to the grand jury.
An investigation of the affair termi-
mated last night in the arrest at Coal
Valley of John Triglon, his wife and
his daughter, Miss Anna Triglon.
aged Is years, at the instigation of
Coroner l.. V. Eckhart, who believes
he has unearthed n shocking case of
infanticide.
Annie Triglon, unmarried, on the
25th of last November gave birth to
n child. Mrs. Triglon admitted this
to the coroner. although she at first
emphatically denied it. She said it
was still-born, and that the body had
been given to a peddler woman who
called at the Triglon home. Anna
confessed that she had been a mother
and that her child was buried on the
premises.
But John Triglon stoutly refuted
the truthfulness of the story that had
been in circulation among the people
of Coal Valley for the past month;
said it was absolutely without foun-
dation, and that his daughter had not
given birth to n child.
Discovery of the Body.
At the conclusion of the examina-
ton Coroner Eckhart, with the as
sistance of the town authorities, in
stituted Il search for the remains of
the baby. They were found under
the floor of the barn on the Treglon
place. The body was well developed
and marks .were noticeable on the
neck, adding further strength to the
theory that the infant had been muir

Sommerlot had not the faintest sus-

opinion expressed by Sergt. NJ. F.
Archer as soon as he laid ewes on the
man. Sommerlot appeared surprised,
but when confronted with his like
ness, which was forwarded the Rock

Geneseo crime. he admitted, that he
was the sought for individual.
Sommerlot said he had been work
