A Row at the COmiQue.

+. M. Jones is on trial before Justice
Sweet this afternoon for assaulting Peter
Eben at the Comique theater last Tues
day night. Eben has been confined to
his bed since the assault. He appeared
in court with his face swollen and black
from severe conclusions. DIR. Brown
swore that the man narrowly escaped
death from the effects of hemorrage and
heart failure caused by his injuries.
From the evidence it seems that Eben
did not spend money enough to pay for
the noise he made and he was threatened
with ejectment. Jones who is engaged
as door keeper acted as bouncer in this
case at least; and he admits that he
knocked Eben down a flight of stairs
He says however he was afraid of plain.

A Large and Fashionable Audience Greeted
The Fair Singer Last Night.

A grand opera recital is a new thing
for a Lewiston audience, and the music
lovers of the city appreciate the efforts

can be said to the credit of the audience
that the music was heartily appreciated.

Charity Martin is a cultivated artist
Even the novice in music could ap
preciate the rich full tones of the cleai
soprano and could recognize the fact tina
hers is a voice of wonderful sweetness ant
compass. Her encores, "If l were you
and "lf you were here" were delightful,
sung and made fitting contrast to the
power and technique of her more studiet
efforts. Sig. Ernesto Baldanza has &
rich and powerful tenor best brought ou
perhaps in the duo from IL. Trovatore.
The musical spectacle part of the pro
graume was less appreciated. Tn,

below the standard of the pest that cal
be produced in this line.

A man is on trial in Olympia for vio-

of Washington, he having refused to
send his children to school. His defense
if well based, should not only exonerate
him, but should result in closing, under
its present management, certain district
school in Thurston county.
He meets the arrangement ofthe schoo
officer for violation of the law with the
assertion that he withholds his children
on account of "the immortality of the
school," The burden of proof, of course
rests with the defendant, and public in
terests demand that the investigation b,

1t was the sense of the club that the
expression in the petition was explicit
and definite and that the pavement ask

of the club that the council should act in

HARVESTING POTATOES.
The Average Farmers Best Means
of Digging and Gathering Them.

of Digging and Gathering Them.
Like thrashing wheat with a fall the
digging of potatoes with a hoe has
passed into disrepute among all pro-
gressive farmers. During recent years
the machine potato digger has been
much improved until today 1t is used
with more or less success among the
largest potato farmers. 1t will be
many years, however before the aver
age farmer will be able to find use for
the machine digger probably. 1t must
be left largely to those who are pro-
ducing potatoes on an extensive scale,
says a New England Homestead CORE,
spondent.
| have returned to the spading fork
as the best means for digging potatoes
under all sorts of conditions for the
average farmer who does not grow
more than about two acres. AS COM
pared with hoe there is practically
no comparison. One cannot only dig
more potatoes with a spading fork. but
he can get them out of the ground in
much hstter condition. BY being care
full to drive the fork into the soil just
back of the hill and bringing 1t toward
the hill with a lifting movement one
need not injure q potato, and he may
work the fork as hard as he has mind
to.
When using the forks. 1t works well
to have two men side by side and have
them throw their potatoes into one row
with the tops the opposite way. In dig
ging this way the tubers are by them
selves and convenient to get at. The
tops are also rowed.
Some judgment must always be used
in digging potatoes. Do not dig so
many at one time that you cannot care
for them readily. l never uncover
more than | can house safely before
night Sometimes l dig during the
fore part of each half day and then
gather the tubers before quitting. A
potato should lie on the ground until
1t is dry, but no longer. The length
of time necessary for drying depends
almost entirely on the nature of the
soil providing the weather Is reason
ably dry. In sand soil an hour Is of
ten long enough In moist clay several
hours may be necessary.
In gathering potatoes by far the best
way Is to use crates or bushel meas
ures. These can be easily distributed
about the field. and after filling are
placed on a wagon and drawn off. |
do not believe there Is a better way of
handling potatoes than by these bushel
crates. 1t will pay every farmer to
own 80 or 40 or even a smaller number
and use them in gathering such crops.
With ordinary care the potatoes are
not jammed In the least. They are
conveniently loaded and not difficult to
carry and empty. They also furnish
a convenient and accurate method OF
measuring crop.

The Soy Bean.

OF the three recent agricultural ac-
quisitions-Kaffirc corn. alfalfa and the
soy bean-Secretary Coburn of Kansas
says: OF the three the soy bean is the
latest introduced. the least known and
for that reason only the least appre-
ciated. 1t Is very rich In fat and mus
Gle making materials. Fed to milk
cows, fattening cattle. hogs and other
animals soy beans have given astonish-
ing results. The soy bean responds
readily to good soil and abundant mois-
ture, but will thrive and produce crop
on land too poor or In season too dry
for ordinary crops and is not molested
by chinch bugs.
The Somerset reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1868-1909, 1900-09-27

species usually take to 1t, changing
their food habits to that extent. The
sugar beet has had it's full quota of in
sect enemies, and not the least among
them has been the pale flea beetle.
This insect measures about one-eighth
of an inch in length and Is yellowish
brown In color. Down each wing cover
extends yellow stripe.
All the severe injury has been dur
ing dry weather. The danger is con-
fined largely to the early part of the
1t Is not too late to reseed. 1t appears
the best course to spray with paris
green, using one pound to 175 gallons
of water and adding one pound of
quicklime.
Like several other insects. the blister
beetles were satisfied with the food
provided by nature until the advent Of
the beet. True they did occasionally
levy a tax on potatoes, but they dearly
love the wild vetches and almost any
plant of the pea or bean family.
With the advent of the sugar beet
the blister beetles were provided with
another source of food very much to
their taste and one which they seem to
prefer to most others. AS rule, the
blister beetles appear during the latter
half of July and become numerous dur
Ing August and September, devouring
the leaves and doing great damage.
All this looks very bad, but when we
inquire into the early history of the In
sect we find very good record, which
helps us materially to forgive part Of
the later depreciation. The young bis
ter beetle of the varieties noticed here
passes his larval stage In the egg pod
of one of the grasshoppers, devouring
usually from 80 to 40 eggs, after which
he burrows q short distance into the
ground. passes through the pupal stage
and comes out ready to collect pay Of
the farmer.
All the common blister beetles of this
region except IL. steel blue one have
this beneficial habit. so when we see a
blister beetle eating our crops we may
be certain that he represents from % to
40 grasshoppers literally nipped In the
bud. This fact should have Its infu
ence In considering the insect. and so
long as the number of the beetles is
small and the crop does not appear to
be suffering 1t Is perhaps we'll TO for
bear destroying them. There are three
varieties which have been reported as
injurious during the season of 1890

Keeping SQua . h es.

NV method has been to place the
sQuashes upon shelves In a well ven
tllated cellar. says a correspondent of
Orange Judd Farmer. The shelves
are four feet wide next to the sides of
the cellar. The remaining ones are
six feet wide with alley on each side.
The first shelf is six inches from the
floor, and then they are two feet apart
until the ceiling is reached. use
by inch studdlng for uprights and
crosspieces and / by 6 inch strips for
bottom Of shelves. One of these strips
is sufficient for the side. The uprights
should be placed four feet apart, as the
load they have to sustain Is considera-
BILE. The temperature should be as
high as possible without using artih-
cial heat and interfering with good
ventilation This is best accomplished
by keeping the cellar closed on very
cold days and particularly during peri
DDS of foggy and rainy weather
Choose the bright days for opening
during the middle ke day.

of care there is quite a loss and more
