Glover Hay Better Too Green Than
Too Ripe,

To make first-class clover hay, and
there is no other hay its equal, it
should be cut when in full flower.
When there is large quantity to
handle, begin several days earlier
tbetter too green than too ripe)-and
especially II the weather is favorable
for curing. Cut late In the day, to be
put up on the following day-or it
may be cut in the morning, as soon
as the dew is of. to be put up the
same day. When little wilted, shake
1t up well; this is best done with the
tedder. late in the afternoon. When
the heat Of the day Is past, rake and
put up in small cocks, which should
be turned bottom up every evening
till sufficiently cured to put into the
NOV. In bad weather caps would be
great advantage. 1t is hardly pos
sible to make the best clover hay and
preserve the leaves, without curing
in the cock. Much depends on Just
the right sort of weather.-John
Jackson.

Potatoes and Grain as Piq Feed.

Among the Danish pig feeding ex.
periments quoted by Prof. Henry in
his book on Feeds and Feeding" is
the following: Three series of ex.
periments were made to test the com.
parative value of cooked potatoes with
grain. when both were fed in connec.
tion with skim milk or whey. -Four
pounds of potatoes were fed against
one pound of grain. and the gains
made were practically the same. Four
pounds Of boiled potatoes should thus
be considered equal to one pound Of
grain IN pig feeding. The quality OF
the pork produced from potato feeding
was good and did not differ apprecia.
bly, from that Of lots differently fed.

Heavy Rains on Unfinished Drains.

Heavy Rains on Unfinished Drains.
Charles G. Elliott in "Engineering
for Land Drainage" says: During the
construction of a drainage system the
work is often hindered in the spring of
the year by heavy rains which fill to
greater or less extent the trenches
which have been dug and submerge
the lines of tile which have been laid
In the case of mains with light fall,
there is considerable risk from dirt
and silt which may be washed into the
drain and partially obstruct it. The
tile drain may be securely closed at
the upper end, but II the water is per.
mitted to flow over the top of the tile
the drain itself being nearly empty.
the weight of the water passing down
through the joints until the drain ia
full carries with it large quantity of
earth which by reason of the lack of
current may not pass on through the
drain. The better way is to permit
the water to enter direct through the
end of the drain and fill the tile com.
pletely, letting .the surplus pass on
over the 'p of the drain.

sum of $1,166.45, Due school City of
Goshen, Is I'm Litigation.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GOSHEN, Ind, Oct. IA case of inter-
est to city school boards and township
trustees throughout the State was filed in
the Elkhart Circuit Court here to-day, it
being a test case brought by two ferrets
who have been at work in various parts of

bart to recover what is known as the over
pluses of dog tax from 1892 to 1898, which,
under the law in force during that period,
should have been paid to the school city
instead of to the township as before
and since. Owing to ignorance of the
law the surplus OF cog tax over $50
per year was thus turned over and the
total with interest at per cent. amounts TO
81, 165. IS, for which demand was made early
in July of this year, Trustee Cobb refusing
payment, pleading the statute of limita-
tions. Had he paid the amount demanded
his entire tuition fund for this school year
would have been wiped out.
Other trustees of the county were not so
fortunate in their settlements, some paying
the full amounts due the town or city school
corporations within their townships, while
others compromised with the 'ferrets -
These ferrets have been working in several

GAMBLED FOR A VERDICT
ILLINOIS JURY DECIDED \ CASE
ON "HEADs AND TAILS"
Acquitted of Charge of Assault with
Intent to Murder Followed the De-
cisiOn of the Turned Coins.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
VINCENNES, Ind, Oct. 14.-An unusual
method of reaching a verdict was employed
by jury III the Lawrenceville Qll) Circuit
Court to-day. After being out for some
time without reaching an agreement it was
decided that each juror should put a nickel
in a hat. After shaking them they were to
be turned on a table, and if the most heads
came up the verdict would be an acquittal,
and if the tails turned the finding should be
a conviction. Heads won and the verdict
was returned in court acquitting George l..
Ryan Of assault to commit murder.
States Attorney Lackey heard of the
method employed in getting a verdict and
reported it to Judge Newlin, who had the
jurors brought forthwith into court and he
reprimanded them severely, saying they
had totally disregarded all law and evidence
and deserved the punishment which they
no doubt would get.
The exposure caused a sensation, as the
jury was made up of the best men of the
county 1t is said they will be prosecuted.
