A NEWsY FARM LETTER FROM
CRAVEN.
Outlook for Crops-Proft in Pork and
Cotton.
Cotton.
Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor OF Tne Progressive Farmer:
Farmers generally are much en-
couraged by the results of last year
and have gone to work in earnest to
press the advantages of the situa-
ton. Fine crops generally another
year would put the farmers in our
county on a better financial basis
than ever before.
I am glad to see in this weeks Pro
gressive Farmer the adverse opin-
ions of some correspondents as to
Harry Farmers suggested "rate of
interest" Surely a higher rate than
six per cent can hardly help the
farmer, and we are puzzled to see
how it can help any one but the
money lender.
The usual amount of cabbage has
been set in our county for spring
market, and they are starting off
nicely. Many plants were too large
when set, and have long awkward
stems that may break off with extra
March winds.
The potato crop will soon begin
to be planted. 1t may not be quite
so large In area as last year.
Where oats were not sown in the
fall, sowing now is in progress, and
the fall sown are generally looking
well.
While a few farmers who made
some extra money on tobacco last
year are seemingly wild over the
prospects of sudden wealth, quite a
number are looking to the more sub
stantial as well as more useful lines
of agriculture.
Raising of food stuffs and stock is
increasing here. There are two
cream separators in our midst and
some fair stock farms.
Not long since we saw in The Pro-
gressive Farmer some record of very
fine pigs. We are not up with these
records yet, but perhaps some of US
have raised as much good meat from
one sow as is usually done in one
year. Here is the record: The first
farrow of ten pigs, December 10,
1901. Sold five last October, averag-
ing 100 pounds each, at 8 cents-$4O.
Fattened five, weighing $50, at s
cents-$76.8O. Nine narrowed June
1st, and eight killed December, aver
aging 80 pounds-$64.OO. Total at
s cents, $18O.8O.
And the same SOW has y pigs two
months old now for this years meat.
This is no extra turnout in weight
but shows how little stock it takes tc
afford a family plenty of meat and
lard, and a surplus to sell besides.
The cotton crop of our county was
the best ever harvested with perhaps
two exceptions, and it has been quite
remunerative. The seed have beer
worth nearly as much this winter al
some whole crops were a few year:
since. An average of a bale to the
acre has been common among ou1
best farmers and some have done
even better than that. One raised

very clearly that the shooting was acct

The statement Of young Fogleson, the
nine-year-old brother Of the man who
did the shooting, practically indicates
the elder brother from all blame. Tho

JEUP'S PLANS DISCUSSED
ELEVATED TRACK COMMISSION
BUSY WITH MANY MAPS.
Members VIII Look Over the Ground
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Men Petit
ton the Supreme Court.

Mayor Bookwalter's grade crossing COM
mission spent yesterday afternoon discuss
ing the written plan and the incidental
maps and drawings of former City Engi-
neer Jeup on track elevation in Indianapo-
lis. The discussion was informal, as the
commission is not advanced far enough to
have opinions. Mr.. Jeup was engineer UNI
der all three terms of Mayor Taggart. and
his track elevation plans were submitted to
the Board of Works Aug. 2. 1899 Two
weeks later the Council passed the track
elevation ordinance, now the subject of lti-
cation in the Supreme Court, and COM
mitted the city to the Jeup plans.
The discussion yesterday was more in ref
erence to localities and divisions of the
tracks among the roads traversing the city
than to the feasibility of the plan, although
Charles E. Coffin declared that he had been
immensely impressed with the Jeup
scheme. The Jeup report was read by par
agraphs by E. M. Johnson, who was the
controller of the Taggart administrations.
and each provision of it was elucidated by
reference to the maps and plans. The en-
tire purpose of enlightening the board was
served by the discussion, and in the end 1t
was decided that Mr. Jeup should be in
vited before the board at the proper time.
Mr.. Buddenbaum, who lives in the south
east part of the city, explained that the
Jeup plans were evidently made without
reference to their effect on that part of the
city. They provide for the elimination of
the Virginia-avenue viaduct by elevating
all the passenger tracks of the Union Rail-
way Company, but the plan permits the
maintenance of surface tracks for freight
house use. Mr.. Buddenbaum pointed out
that this would leave no crossing leading
to the southeast between Noble and Della
ware streets. The street would no
longer use Virginia avenue-the most direct
route southeast-because of the surface
tracks, and would be forced to another
street The cars and the public now use the
viaduct and are satisfied, but IL surface
tracks were restored at the Virginia ave
nue. crossing Ii would divert travel
1t was explained by other members that
the Jeup plans were before the commission
other evidence, and that the only pur-
pose in discussing them fully was in the
interest of full advice the subject. Mr..
Johnson's motion that they be made part
of the record was adopted
The commission decided not to undertake
a visit to the railroad systems in a body.
Adjournment was taken until Thursday
| afternoon to permit the members individ-
ually to visit all the lines in the city and
| inspect them.
The commission accepted the resignation

Efforts are being made in several direc-
lions to secure an immediate decision of

Court Besides the bill introduced yester-

WASCHRlSTIAN SCIENTIST
MRS. JENNIE DEPPERT DIED WITH.
OUT MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Case Discovered by sanitarian Bueh.
Ter by Accident and investigation
Started-New Cases.

Coroner Tutewiler is investigating the
death of Mrs. Jennie Deppert. thirty-eight
years old, who died of smallpox at S24
Blake street yesterday morning The wom-
an had been sick only four days and had
received no medical attention, according
to members OF her family, though DR..
Buehler suspects that a physician did at
tend the case. Another inmate OF the
Deppert house. Claude Tulley. nephew of
the dead woman. is afflicted with the dis
ease.
The case was disclosed by accident. The
Board OF Health was privately informed
of the illness of the woman and Inspector
Cotton was sent to investigate. He found
the Deppert woman afflicted with a viru-
lent type. He at once notified DR.. Bueh-
Ter, but before he arrived at the house
the woman had died. DR.. Buehler inter-
rogated the family as TO why physician
had not been called and asked Deppert If
his family believed In Christian Science.
Deppert, DIR. Buehler says. said he did not
believe in such foOlishneSs. Other men,
bers OF the family told Coroner Tutewiler
they had not called physician because
they felt the Lords will would be done"
DR.. Buehler at once placed the house
in charge OF a quarantine officer and will
watch IL until the quarantine is lifted.
When IL Is he will have all the members
arrested Tor not reporting the case TO the
Health Board. as the law requires Cor
oner Tutewilers investigation will be with
reference 10 the Christian Science be-
liefs Of the people. Mrs. Deppert was
buried at Crown Hill Cemetery yesterday
afternoon.
Coroner Tutewiler said last night that
he had seen the husband of the Deppert
woman and he had told him she was a
Christian Science believer and had refused
medical aid He said he did not believe
ia the religion. but that Mrs. Deppert and
her sisters, who lived with her, did. Sat
urday he took some provisions to the
house. but did not enter, he suspected
smallpox.
Coroner Tutewiler suspects that a Chris
tian Science minister has attended Mrs.
Deppert. DR.. Buehler searched the house
for medicine bottles, but found none. The
coroner has deputized DR.. Buehler TO hold
the inquest. and the examination of the
woman and the son and nephew of Mrs.
Deppert will be made In a few days The
son OF Mrs Deppert has been vaccinated

tendent r. o. Johnson. of the Institute for
the Deaf and Dumb. The charges were
preferred by Moses Clinton, of Mitchell,
who was formerly employed at the institu-

board, says he does not know what the
charges are, but believes they are the same
as made by Clinton some time ago. Super
intendent Johnson says he knows nothing
of the matter, but he supposes that the
charges are the same as were submitted
anonymously.
