HINTS OF SCANDAL
DIR. Long Resigned, Case He Was
Obleeged TO-"

Frankfort, KY, Aug. 15.-There
is something behind the resignation
of DR.. John L. Long as Superintend-
ent of the State Feeble-Minded In
stitutiop, which was announced in
the late edition of The Times yester-
day, that will probably not be offic-
tally made public. 1t is said here
this morning that the Superintend-
ent had been on probation before
the Governor for some time and that
his resignation came yesterday only
to prevent an investigation by the
Asylum Board. There has been
considerable friction, it is said, be-
tween DIR. Long and the board and
between him and Stewart Pickens
and other employees of the institution.
The new Superintendent, DR.. Ely,
who takes charge at once, is the
third who has held the place under
the present administration. The
first Superintendent, DIR. J. p. Huff,
of Flemingsburg, resigned rather
hastily in January, 1898, after con-

ers who ordered the assassination
will yet be caught. No compromise
verdict is possible now. The
Judges, who hitherto would have
BEEN willing to throw a sop to the
anti-Dreyfusards, will now make
no concession.
"They stole Labori's papers to
feed the dossier. My letter, which
was among the stolen documents,
will not give the dossier much nour'
ishment. 1t will doubtless be
claimed by the murder party that
the sAnglo-German syndicate hired
the man to shoot Labor in order to
awaken sympathy for Dreyfus.
.sTbe army accusers are now in
full retreat and hoping for revolu-
ton. There have been several COM
binations made to murder Dreyfus.
The murder has many accomplices.
The plot has platform of two
planks; first, subversion of the re-
public; second, the murder of those
who denounce the gang of forgers.
"Labori's blood stirs honest
souls. Look forward to a speedy
acquittal OF Dreyfus."

GREEN CORN UNDER GLASS
a New Idea In Gardening For Profit.
Green Corn Out of SensOn.

The forcing Of sweet corn is practi-
cally unknown. That this crop can be
grown under glass, and, if properly
handled, be profitable. Professor F, W.
Rane Of New Hampshire undertakes to
demonstrate in a recent interesting
bulletin. He says: The idea that it was
possibly adapted for forcing occurred to
the writer when studying the root de-
velopment of corn under glass. During
the season of 1867 the only house
available for the experiment was a
large vegetable house, 25 by 100 feet,
and as lettuce, caulifower, etc, which
demand a low temperature, are grown
in this house during the fore part of
the season the sweet corr was not plant
ed until April, when these crops were
marketed. The nature of the green
house is very important, as it is neces-
sary that the plants have sufficient room
for development. The house ordinarily
used for lettuce and cucumbers in New
England answers very well, while those

Growing Seed Corn.

The Kansas experiment station thinks
It will pay the farmers Of the state to
test the value of the following method
Of selecting seed corn: Two or three
rows are planted in the middle Of the
field, using seed Of a different variety
from that used in the remainder Of the
field. The tassels of the corn in these
rows are pulled ont before they de-
velop pollen, SO that the ears will be
fertilized with pollen from the remain
der of the field. The seed from these
rows is selected for next years plant
ing. and it is claimed that the yield has
seen increased by OF least ten bushels

per acre. Colonel Dudley Of Topeka has
done a great deal in this line and re-
ports excellent results. If the yield of
the Kansas corn crop could be increased
ten bushels per acre, it would mean
several million dollars added to the
value of the crop aud obtained by only
a very little increase of labor expended.
Any farmer can find a different variety
of corn from his own by going three
miles, or less, away from his home, and
the work of pulling out the tassels will
be little more than the work necessary
to cut the weeds ont of the same num-
Der Of rows.

plants vary, according to the variety,
from four to eight feet in height.
The corn was planted April 10 and

cessful.
Sweet corn does not appear in the
Boston market until about the middle
Of July. At that time it brings good
prices and the entire product is from
the south. Without any sweet corn on
the market, therefore, before July. we
have a rather long period even in spring
when this vegetable has no competition.
While it has no established market
price at present in u cities like other
forced greenhouse crops the returns
should be at least in proportion to its
cost and doubtless until commonly
grown would be much more profitable.
Sweet corn when first in season is
doubtless as highly priced as any Of the
green vegetables, and we believe that
when offered out of season it will be in
great demand.
The varieties tested and shown in cut
have been Early Minnesota U0), Cros-
by's Early (13), White Cob (14), First
of All G5), Early Fordhook (s6), Ad-
ans Extra Early (31). All of these are
grown to some extent in New England
and are popular generally. The stalks
grew taller, if anything, than they do
in the garden in every case.
The Adams Extra Early is not a true
sweet corn, but its merits are earliness
and productiveness. Crosby's Early, a
standard early white variety, yielded
at the rate Of one ear to the stalk, with
a small cob. White Cob was the same
