Location OF watercre.s Beds.

Watercress farmers ought to keep
their beds OF cress utterly free from oil
taint or possibility of drainage: the
farther from human habitations md
farmyards the better. In the clean
and hospitable old country inn you
often get capital watercress, and they
tell you that the dark-colored leaves
are better and more pungent than the
light ones. Sometimes they came from
nelghboring watercress beds, and some
times the children pick them where
they grow wild in the water courses.
Watercrpsses are really wholesome,
and have medicinal value. They
contain good deal of sulphur and
chloride of potassium. One of the
chief merits of uncooked vegetables
and fruits is the presence in them Of
various properties, such as potash, etc,
which are health preservatives. These
properties are sometimes lost In the
cooking of the herb or plant.-Phila-
delphia Record.

of Feathers Aided Thieves in escaping
From the Police.
New York Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean.
A friendly cloud of goose and rooster
feathers that settled down over De-
lancy street yesterday afternoon, en-
abled three thieves to escape from a
pair of confused detectives. The thieves
had been ransacking the rooms of q
burning tenement house ct No. 217
Delaney street, from which the tene-
ants had fed, panicstricken. In the
opinion of the police there is no mean
er thief than the one who will rob q
family turned out by fire, and the po-
fice, who figured In this case did what
they could to relieve their feelings by
kicking the thieves half way down the
flight of stairs to the street, intending
to grab them again on the steps. But
rs the thieves reached the steps a
score Of feather beds that had been
thrown out of the Hebrew tenements
upstairs by the fremen plunged down
on the sidewalk and burst. Feathers
rose up and swirled about In eddies.
Fire department wagons and horses
were covered with them, and 80 were
hundreds of Hebrews who were In the
streets, enjoying the last hour of a
forty-eight hour holiday. The thieves
Jumped into the cloud of feathers and
escaped After the cloud had cleared
away the detectives yanked Morris
Roseustein and Isador Goodman out
Of the crowd and locked them up on
suspicion that they were pickpockets.

Tho Demand For Horses.

Horses are becoming higher in price
every year. Six years ago the horse
market was more than supplied and
good horses could be had nt half price.
The demand for horses in the armies
of the world and the Improvement OF
the public roads In many States may
he given as among the reasons for the
change. The demand is mostly for
good horses. and at prices which give
n large profit.

Obtaining a Good Field OF Corn.

The yield Of corn will depend large
ly upon the cultivation given. The
roots of corn feed near the surface,
and If the cultivation is shallow the
roots will come as close to the surface
as possible. Cultivation should be
kept deep as long as rain is abundant,
but when the season is dry the sur
face should simply be stirred in order
to retain the moisture already existing.
II the weeds and grass are not kept
out of the rows they will rob the corn
plants of both moisture and food. 1t
is customary to give corn certain
number of workings" irrespective Of
any results that may follow, but the
number of times field OF corn should
be worked depends upon the rainfall
and the condition of the land. 1t may
require considerable work to destroy
weeds during rainy spells, but It pays
to do so. Corn should never be laid
by" as long us horse hoe can be used
between the rows, as 1t Is often after
the corn is laid by that the weeds get
ahead. A good yield can be obtained
only by clean cultivation.

Water For Bees.


Bees need water more when rearing
brood than at any other time. They
rear most brood at the time of the
heaviest honey flow, but also much
in the early spring. II they have to
go far for 1t much time is lost from
honey gathering, and In the spring,
If they fly away, they may become
chilled; thus they are led to seek 1t
at some place near by, perhaps in the
puddle in the barnyard or some other
filthy place. Then, too, they may
seek such a place in preference to
running water, because the foul water
has a flavor of salt. All this may be
prevented by having barrel with wa
ter In 1t placed near the hives, and a
leak through which the water may
run out slowly and trickle down over
piece Of corrugated board like a
washboard, which last may be used.
Put In fresh water every day. about
as much as would run out In twenty
four hours, and add about one table,
spoonful of fine salt for each pailful.
Keep the barrel covered that they
may not drown themselves In 1t.
Many bees are uost by drowning. II
they have no suitable place to go for
water but have to visit brook or
pond.

Anxious for Land Cessi0n.

The seven governors who signed a
memorial to congress to cede the public
domain to the states feel like they have
been sat upon, perhaps, for when a
congressman from Colorado asked to
submit it in the house the hous OBJ
jected to being bothered with the mat
ter when busy. 1t will be many a year
before congress will consent to turn the
public domain entire over to state gov
ernments, thus negativing the home
stead act and ceasing to allow any cit
izen to secure a small spot Of earth
merely for the asking and agreement to
live upon it.. The very eagerness Of
these advocates of cession Of the public
domain to allow them or their success
sors to control the land, which the gen.
eral government has guarded with sue
cess from monopolies, rouse suspicion
that political and business combina-
lions and influences desire to do
through states that which they are I'M
able to do through present land Off
Gals. Governor Murphy of Arizona,
Governor Richards Of Wyoming and
Governor Thomas of Utah are advo-
Gates of ceding the lands. One Of these
at least, the governor of Wyoming, also
favors leasing the lands to cattlcmen,
and doubtless desires to have his state
government to have chance to do this,
rather than for the federal government
to manag it.
