Reducing the Debt.

State Treasurer Koerner and Aud
'tor Dunn had their annual lottery
at the state house, in which the num-
bers that come out get $1,000 apiece
and are considered unlucky. For the
lottery calls for the payment of $70,-
600 OF state bonds, and the holders
would rather have the bonds than the
money.
0f the 70 bonds drawn, IL are in the
permanent university fund and seven
in the permanent school fund. That
is not such grief to the treasurer as
it would have been q year ago, for
both funds are well placed now, and
more can be used soon by investment
in capital certificates.
OF the other bonds, 30 belong to the
German Savings Bank of New York, 10
to the Savings Bank of Utica, four to
the Life Insurance Clearing Company,
now held as a trust deposit. 1t cuts
the state debt from $1,349,000 to ST.

expected to make $150,0OO a year as
the rate values were rising, but for
some years there was no increase in
valuations and the funding fund
amounts to about $4,000 year. Even
so the small debt is shrinking toward
the vanishing point.

A Canine Thief.

While two ladies were walking
along the streets of Minneapolis a
large mastiff came up to them and
made pretense of friendship by wag-
ging his tail and playfully jumping
in glee about the two pedestrians.
They paid on attentian, supposing
him to be an ordinary every day dog.
Finally he became too persistent in
his attentions, and continued to leap
upon one of the women, who carried
canvas bag which she was guarding
jealousy. She put out her hand to
push the animal aside. AS she did so,
he watched his opportunity and
seized the bag between his teeth.
Then he made all possible haste to
run away.
The owner OF the satchel was at a
loss what to do. The dog was fleet
footed, and she could not overtake
him. A passing policeman gave chase
and after run of several blocks Sc
cured the bag, which contained near
ly $4,000 in cash and checks. At the
time of the occurrence the lady was
on her way to the bank to make de-
posit.

The reports of some of The farmers
who subsoilcd their land last winter
show that crops on such fields were
green and flourishing while they were
narched up on others. During wet

and the top dries off rapidly. SO subsoil-

CT. This breaking of the clay and deep
ening of the soil increases the plant food
by making the potash and phosphorlc
acid available which is stored up in
most of our clays.
We know this subsoiling is slow
work, but when once done, it does not
have to be done again. The breaking
of the first or top layer OF clay is the
hardest work. Anyone who ever dug
hole in the ground knows that the
first two or three inches of clay is hard
CT than it is deeper down. The scrap.
ing of plows and tramplng of animals
may cause that. If that hardpan is
thoroughly broken the water Will then
easily penetrate the underlying stratum
of clay and the roots will follow. With
