Young Edward Cudahy who was
kidnapped last fall is seriosuly ill and
it is said may not recover. If he should
die it is rumored that Pat Grove will
return to Omaha to reside. How much
there is to this is hard to say. But if
true it would seem to be pretty good
indication that Grove was mixed up
in the abduction. With the chief wit
ness to his crime removed, he would
suddenly become brave.

The Great Western road has bought
several short lines in the eastern part
of the state which it will use as
feeders, and will proceed to remodel
the railroad map of that part of the
state From the progress which the
road is making, Mankato can we'll con-
graduate itself that it happens to be
on one of the stub lines of the system.
1t may not be a great while in the
future before it will be on one of its
main lines. Evidently we are going
to profit by some of the railroad build
ing of the next year or two.

Making an Asparagus Bed.

To prepare bed for asparagus,
take the warmest, mellowest land you
have, spade it deep in September and
work in lots of horse manure. Also
use salt freely, say, half bushel to
a square rod. You can raise the
young plants from seed, or get roots
from a gardener or some neighbor.
Set out early in, spring after a deep
and thorough spading. Keep clean
and let grow two years if plants are
little, so as to get strong roots. Then
in the spring of the third year you
can begin to cut for your table. Use
a sharp knife and cut slanting. After
the middle of June let grow. Cover
well with coarse horse manure in
winter, and loosen between roots
with a fork early in the spring ELLA

Insects in storeA. Grain.

The best way to kill taese1nseets is
to use bisulphide of carbon. This
liquid quickly eShales is deadly gas,
which is heavier than air and sinks
down through the grain. Put the
bisulphide in a deep dish at the top Of
the grain. Close the bin and make it
as nearly alright as possible by
throwing blankets or bags over the
top. The liquid will evaporate and the
gas win work down through the grain.
The gas is deadly and very quick to
take fire. Do not breathe close to the
dish, or bring any light near it,

Big Loss Caused by Insects,

1t is estimated that a tenth of the
agricultural output of this country is
ruined annually by insects, hence the
necessity of keen, careful observation
on the part of the farmer. AS rule
it is not the creature responsible for
serious loss of crops that is first seen,
but the damaged crop itself. The re-
verse should be true. By using his eyes
more freely, the average farmer could
foresee in most cases damage to his
crops by injurious pests, and arm
himself with the weapons of defense.
In some instances disastrous insect
invasions could be largely averted, if
facts were generally reported to the
various experiment stations Orange

Fight On American Corn

American corn is now the object of
attack of the French agrarians.
United States Consul Thackera, at
Havre, makes this subject the basis of
a considerable report to the state de-
partment. He says, in brief, that the
agrarians and some other interests be-
came alarmed some time ago at the
increasing use of foreign corn and
have succeeded in having two bills re-
ported for passage, the first reguI at
ing the temporary admission of corn
and the second fixing the duty on grain
at 90 cents instead Of IS cents pei 100
.kilogramlmes and increasing the auty
on -four made from corn from five
francs to eight francs per 100 kilo-
grammes.
New Ulm review., 1901-05-01

in this position the upper part of the
sod will not decay, but will keep on
growing, sending up shoots between
the burrows, to the annoyance of the
cultivator. With furrows set like
those in Fig. 1, there is cons tant
falling back into the furrow after the
plow has passed, which makes ex-
ceedingly bad work.
The burrows in Figs. and 3 are
we'll turned and the sod will be en-
tirely covered when the harrow has
passed over the land. Fig. 3 shows
how shallower plowing permits a
more complete turning of the sod.
But shallow plowing of sod is not
generally desirable, especially if
witch grass is in it.
A good deal depends upon the plow,
as we'll as upon the plowman, if a
furrow is to be we'll turned. 1t takes
skill to fashion mold board that
will do the best kind of work, and
unfortunate it is, many plows have
not had skill expended upon them.
Don't buy a plow until you know
from the work of the same make of
plows that the "share' will turn the
furrow neatly and deftly, and that,
too, without the necessity of con-
slant "coaxlng" on the part of the
one holding the handles. Under
good average conditions, a frst-class
plow will almost run itself, relieving
the workman of much hard labor.
Fig. shows a common and poor
result of using haste in blowing "old
ground,' that is, ground that was
planted the season before. In his
haste to get over the ground rapidly
the plowman often tries to carry too
wide f4rrow, with a result that a
portion of the soil in each furrow is
not moved at all. This is shown in
the dotted portion. This cannot we'll
happen in blowing sod, since the
whole furrow is held together by the
grass roots, and must all rise to-
gether. But in old land the earth is
crumbly and rolls up over a part
that is not moved at all. AS the OBJ
iect of blowing old land is to tighten
the soil and expose it to the action
of the air, there is no small loss in

POINTS ON FLOWING.
TilIing the Soil to the Greatest Ad.
vantage Is an Art Understood
by Very Few Farmers

a farmer should be quite me-
chanic in his nature to succeed in
tilling the soil to the greatest advan-
tage. So many farm operations are
more or less mechanical in their ma
ture that the man without a mechan-
ical turn is sure to do many things
far from well. This is especially true
in the matter of plowing. Thousands
of acres are ploWed each season, the
best results of which are not expe-
rienced simply because the burrows
were not turned properly. Take Fig.
1, for instance. Much plowing is to
be seen where, as in this case, the
burrows are standing on edge, little
inclined beyond the perpendicular
