The Care os sss:S.,,aIl Grain.

Some years it is almost Impossible
TO save small grain efter it is cut.
Ten days of bot showery weather will
cause it to sprout. The best plan Is
to shock it we'll. Remember that
good shocLers are sea1ce. Let the
cap bundles protect the hesds. If this
is well done the shocks will stahd and
the inner bundles will keep dry. We
have seen wheat with the outer heads
aIl sprouted while the inner handles
were sll right. When threshed the
sprouted grains are blown away.
just as soon as wheat and oats are
dry enough to stack or put away in
the barn, haul them up. Five to
seven days dry, clear weather will
cure the grain sufficiently to haul up.

Eis Last Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel. Gebo, Mont.
In the first opening of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor OF this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encoun-
tered much bad water, which, together
with the severe heat, gave him q
very severe diarrhoea WHICH it seem
ed almost impossible to check, and
along in June the case became SO
bad he expected to die. One day one
of his neighbors brought him one
small bottle Of Chamberlain's Colo,
Cholera and Disrrhoea Remedy as a
last hope. A big dose was given
him while he was rolling about on
the ground in great agony, and 10 a
few minutes the dose was repeated.
TIE good effect of the medicine was
soon noticed and within an hour the
patient was taking his first sound
sleep for fortnight. That one lit
tie bottle worked a complete cure
and he cannot help but feel grateful

tentiary. From this judgment Will
COX appealed. The judgment of the
supreme court today affirmed the
Judgment of the lower court in an
opinion embracing thirty typewriter
pages.
The defendants attorney urged
that Wilcox should have been given
a new trial because most of the evil
dence was sufficient to have been
submitted 10 the jury; second, that
the suicide theory wss as reasonable
as any other theory. The court went
into detsil in the consideration of the
several points. In reviewing the ar
guments of the defendants counsel
that the deceased had the opportu-
nifty, the motive and the time to
drown herself. The opinion says:
s'The line of argument has been
strongly pressed by the defendants
able and jealous counsel. To the
adoption of this view there are seve-
raj serious difficulties. There can be
no dobt that the deceased was greatly
grieved and distressed by the con-
duct of the defendant, but her affec,
tions were trifed with. Her conduct
showed her to be young woman OF
deep snd strong feeling.
"The testimony shows that the
condition of the river near to the
front of the Cropsey residence with
it's receding shores is such as to make
it necessary for her, if drowned there,
to 90 out IS feet from the shore be-
fore reaching water four feet deep.
''The testimony in respect to the
river all conflicts with the theory that
she could have drowned herself in
the water"
In conclusion, the opinion says:
I'VE think that, in this'csse, meas
ured by the standards ascribed by
law, the evidence was properly sub
mitted to the jury, and We canno!
say they have reached an incorrect
conclusion"

Sowing Peas.

A farmer made inquiry about SOW
inc peas on stubble. He said that
one hand and two horses With a cut
away harrow could 60 over more
ground by double narrowing than
two horses and two men with plows.
That depends on the land. IF the
stubble is thick and rank the cuta-
way will not do best work. II one
only had the time this busy month
the best plan is to SOW bushel or
more of peas to the acre, plow in
with narrow half shovels and then
run the cutaway, or good smooth
ing harrow, over the land. Bear in
mind that peas sown on land are
worth Sc an acre to the soil, besides
the hay and mature peas saved.
Another farmer says he finds it more
satisfactory to plant the stubble in
peas by running rows 26 to 80 inches
apart and cuitivating twice. He
does not plant in hills, bat strews
thera along at the rate Of half a
bushel to the acre. He thinks the
cultivation Increases the quantity OF
hay.

Thoughts for : arne7s.

II there is a mouth in the year
when the lively farmer wants to be
two men at the same time and able to
do double work, this is the one. Es-
pecially is the demand strong on biz
muscles this year. The dry May set
him back in preparing and planting.
Everything is now rushing him. The
breaking of bard land and planting
corn, cultivation of the crops, harvest,
setting out sweet potatoes, sowing
and planting peas, looking after the
garden, all come up for immediate
attention. II the hands have to be
hired do that at once. Agood hand
with hoe or plow will kill twice as
much grass and go over twice as much
the fret week of the month as be will
later when grass has made head way.
The best time to kill grass is before
it comes up. If you csn strike it jnst
az the seed are aprou:ing and a few
showing above the ground, it is no
trouble. Grab grass is the great enemy
of the farmer. If one waits until the
ground is covered with it the only
way to kill it is to bury it with any
sort of plow that will do toe work.
Plant all available land in corn and
peas and continue this work
until the first week in july. The
acreage planted is smaller than usual.
The stand is not good. The ind!ca-
tions are that farmers will not make
half enough to supply their own de-
mands. By planting early varieties of
corn late, if September showers come,
excellent feed may be made. On odd
lots and stubble land enough corn
may thus be made to carry the stock
till the first of January without
touching the main crop.

The Flood Around st. Louis.

St. Louis, June 6.-The Nj ssissip-
pi f ,od, which began receding last
night, after reaching stage CT 81 8
feet, began rapid rise today, estab-
fishing the highest official water
mark ever recorded in St. Louis. The
rise was rapid after dawn of day, the
water creeping up from 81 feet,
steadily increasing until at noon The
stage had reached 37.7. From that
tine until tonight the river rem aimed
stationary. It is estimated that 5000
refugees have found sheltc" in St.
