,Iethnds of CurInE.

There are two general methods OF
curing now employed. One may be
called tie indoor method and the other
the outdoor method. In either case the
seed, mixed as it is with grass ana
weeds, is piled in low and narrow
ricks or windrows. "a
When the curing is done in build
ing. the ricks are usually four TO nye
feet high by five broad at the bottom.
To cure in the field a space is first
moved close and is sometimes scraped'
leaving \ smooth, hard packed clay sur
face. The seed is then ricked up on
the dirt or on the short grass stuDDle,
much of the coarse stuff, such as weeds
and timothy, being shaken out and re-
moved at this time. Some cure their
seed out of doors for the first three or
four DAYS. during which time, If the
weather Is favorable, the seed becomes
nearly dry. 1t is then taken to barns
to finish curing, when it can be piled IN
larger ricks than would be safe with
fresh seed. After piling up every rex
should be turned at least three times
daily for the first four or five days.
When for any reason large rlcks are
not turned often enough, the seed be
comes fired and assumes a dusty gray
appearance, with a musty smell, ana
the vitality Is damaged or destroyed.
old Time and Modern Screening.
Before the civil war all blue grass
seed was cleaned by hand by rubbing II
through wire screens. In the early
years Of the century lime and sand
were used to assist In cleaning the
seed. Today the seed is cleaned at the
mills with powerful machinery, so that
hundreds Of bushels Of fancy" can be
turned out In a day.

The oldest and most commonly used
horsepower machine is the comb strip
per. which consists Of platform hung
on wheels and armed in front with
heavy steel comb, similar to that used
In the hand stripper. The upper sur
face Of this comb is smooth, and when
harvesting a laborer kneels on the plat
form and cuts off the panicles as they
are caught by the comb. For this he
uses a broad, fiat knife. which Is passed
back and forth over the comb. The
stripper. which takes breadth of be
tween five and six feet, is drawn by
one mule and has arrangements for
raising and lowering the platform SO
as to accommodate it to the height OF

Peter Burt lead the conversation in a
direction not entertaining to his fair
young visitor Not until the great rock
to the west of the house threw its

tie with highwayman in front of
1912 Pine street shortly after mid
night Thursday morning. The high
wayman escaped.
Lynch is a headquarters officer. He
says that he was returning home from
work, and that when within a few
doors Of his residence he was accosted
by a man, who drew a revolver and
told him to throw up his hands. In
stead Of complying, Lynch reached for
his revolver, and the highwayman
struck him over the head stunning
him. The man then ran into a pri-
vate pasageway leading to the resi-
dence of William Lonergan at S512
Pine street.
When Lynch recovered his senses
he called to Waterman Mohr, who was
across the street, and the two pur-
sued the highwayman. The man stood
IN the shadOW OF an ADJOINING build
ing, and as Mohr entered the gateway
of the Lonergan residence the high
wayman fired. The bullet struck Mohr
in the left breast, penetrating his
heart. He fell dead in his tracks. The
highwayman also fired at Lynch, hit
ting him in the right shoulder. Each
Of the officers is presumed to have
fred a shot, but so far as is known
neither of them took efrect.
A Panama hat, presumed to have
been worn by the highwayman, was
picked up in the Lonergan yard after
the shooting.
Mohr's body was taken to the
morgue and Lynch was removed to the
city hospital, where his wounds were
dressed. He was later sent home.

How Our Farmers Are Handicapped

ANSN SNA nv
The tariff tax on implements and
tools bears most heavily upon the
farmer. All, or nearly all, of these
articles-plows. cultivators, harrows,
planters, drills, hoes, 1hovels, axes,
wrenches, scales, saws, Darb-wire,
wire nails, etc.-are sold at greatly
reduced prices to foreigners, Our far
mers, when they sell wheat in Eng.
land, compete with the wheat from
the Argentine and from Australia. Our
wheat growers are greatly handl-
capped in this competition by three
facts: ~ They have to pay about 25
per cent more for their implements
and tools, all made in America, than is
paid for these same implements and
tools by their foreign competitors;
(2) they have to bear the burden Of
othe. protective tariff taxes which I'M
necessarily increase the cost Of liv-
ing and of producing wheat; (3) the
railroads over which our farmers must
ship wheat pay about rs per cent more
for steel rails and many other ma
terials than is paid for these same
materials all made in America, by
the railroads over which the wheat
OF Argentine and Australia Is shipped.
AS If this were not SUFFICIENT handI-
cap uron our farmers, 1t is now pro-
posed by the political statesmen In
control Of this bensfeial system Of
protection to further tax our farmers
to provide subsidy for ships. Should
subsidy prevail and this new tax be
levied, as is promised by the Repub-
licans, American built ships, drawing
heavy subsidy. might replace - for

MISSOURI COAL
LAND IS LEASED
Capitalists Secure Rights to 10000
Acres In Randolph County.

Higbee, Mo-: The biggest coal land
deal in the history OF Missouri, and
perhaps In all the West, has Just been
contaminated here, and a large force
of men has been put to work sinking
shafts half a mile east Of Yates, on the
Chicago & Alton Railroad. The land
lies in one body, extending nine miles
east and west, and ranging from three
to Eve miles north and south. 1t en-
braces 10000 acres.
The purchasers are New York and
st. Louis capitalists, and the price paid
was in the neighborhood Of 100000.
Three railroads.&c. Chicago & Alton,
the Missouri, Kansas 6 Texas, and the
Wabash-traverse the territory.
The work Of securing options from
the farmers was begun last March.
More than 200 land owners had to be
seen and contracted with for their
coal rights.
The operators will incorporate under
Coal and Mining Company" and pro-
coed to sink holsting shafts and erect
operating works on all three Of the
roads mentioned. Electricity will be
used for drilling, hauling the coal cars,
and lighting the entries. The pros
poets show the coal veins will run
from three and one-half to four and
one-half feet in thickness, and that
coal is Of excellent quality. Higbee
will be the headquarters for the new
concern,
The deal was conducted by W. e.
Murlin, president Of the Black Dia-
mond Coal Company Of Bevier. Pre-
viOus to this transaction the largest
coal land sale IN Missouri was that Of
Thomas e. Wardell Of Macon, to the
Kansas & Texas Coal Company. This
deal embraced 10000 acres of coal land
in Macon and North Randolph coun-
ties, and was made in 1890. The Kan
sas and Texas development Of this
land Immediately shot Macon far
ahead Of all other counties in the
State as a coal producer, a position It
has ever since held, but will probably
lose when the new concern in Ran.

Jessie remained behind Back
through the swiftlY-hyIng years her
fancy wandered to the summer day
when. under the tuition Of a sturdy
farmer lad. she fisned for crabs over
the side Of the bridge.
Did John Burt yet live? Did she
yet hold the place in his heart she oc-
cupied on that night, when, under the
old naples. she rested against his
breast and babe him a sad farewell?
Would he return? when? The little
brook, flowing towards the ocean on
the outgoing tide, seemed the sole
connecting link between the past and
the future
The clatter OF hoofs aroused Jessie
from her reverle. She looked up TO
see Edith coming towards her.
What attraction has that muddy
old creek?" demanded Edith. Come
on Jessie: uncle Tom has sounded
the horn for dinner"
On the morrow Edith and Mrs.
Bishop went to Boston on a shopping
expedition. but they could not per.
suade Jessie to accompany them. In
the afternoon she ordered her horse
saddled. and declining an escort, soUn
disappeared in a turn Of the road.
Half an hour later she stopped in
front Of Peter Burt's farmhouse.
She had not dismounted when the
great oaken door swung back and
Peter Burt came towards her There
was a kindly CLEAN in his eye, as,
with a cOurtly air, he bowed and
greeted her
1T is thoughtful Of you TO remem-
Der me, my child" he said, as he gave
her his hand and helped her to dis
mount. Jasper, take care of Miss
Gardens horse! We will sit in the
shade OF the trees; 1t is cool and
pleasant here. How Is your father,
my child?"
He is very WELL" answered Jessie
"Since you saw him he has had finan-
cial trouble, but his affairs are in
better shape now. He lives in New
York"
