To secure a satisfactory growth Of
all trees, shrubs, flowers and grass In
the garden the soil must be rich and
deeply worked. That attempts at gar
dening may prove failures from other
causes is possible, but lack of attention
to these points is the most common
reason why many places never look
well, all the trees and plants having
an unthrifty. half starved appearance.
Just before growth begins in the
spring the surplus rough litter around
roses should be removed and all the re-
naming fine particles forked In. Deep
cultivation is not desirable. as the roots
are likely to be injured or broken.
Three or four inches in depth is quite
sufficient to dig bed that has not been

spent S150O in experimenting with al
falfa. After repeated failures on the
farm he abandoned field experiments

Georgetown. April 7-Ex-Attorney
General r. c. White. who was Ia office
when George u. Farra was murdered
near Wilmington on December "a. 1897.
IS taking "a great interest in the case
OF John Williams. colorcd alias John
Boozor alias Charles Thorn, who
was convicted Of tne crime and
who has just been rcprieved until
October 49,
In discussing the matter, Mr.. White
said:
II have felt a keen interest I'm the
Thorn case, perhaps greater than that
gelt by the public generally, and this
is so because tho crime was committed
during my term of Office as attorney
/ general. and the only case OF magnitude
lin which the perpetratOr of crime
was not apprehended ! had "a theory
Respecting the crime soon after its come
mission and / hold to 1t yet; and II Is
as follows:
The crime was discovered I'm few
hours after it had been committed. and
the detective force Of the State includ-
/ ing the police force OF the city OF Will
mlngton. were employed in an effort
Ito apprehend the negro that Lived with
the victim and was at his house on the
might Of the murder.
"rhis negro could have been easily
identified by "a description. such as was
sent out BY the secret service men AN
over the country, Ear and near yet he
was never seen nor heard or by a single
lperson. This WAS unprecedented in tho
annals OF crime, and "a thing almost im-
possible under the then. as we'll as NOW

answer, only in one way.
"The murderer killed both Mr Farra
and the negro. which was necessary On
order TO close the mouth Of "a living
witness, and after robblng the premises
took the body of the colored man. and
probably weighted II and threw it ir
the river, an order to direct suspicion
toward him. where 4 now lies. at leas
as much of Il as is not CONSUMED or de.
lcayed.
'uhe testimony to the effect that on,
lean identify "a negro, except he has
had very familiar relations with him
after "a period of eight years, is simply
rot and the testimony OF the detec
tives and policemen of a Virginia city
where a negro Is not regarded so mucf

ter may be considered as no concern o

New England Farmer Thinks There
Ia NnihinE In IL.


Is Nothing In II.
Editors Country Gentleman You
have published several articles advis-
ing the New England farmer to raise
beef. do not think this is good ad-
vice. First, the course generally rec
commended is to raise baby beef. Now.
the fact is that in the New England
states the market for baby beef does
not exist. I'VE likes 'um heavy" says
the German butcher How old did
you say? Not three! Oh, / don't be-
lieve / care to look at it. Well, you
might try Jones. He buys most any
thing"
You try Jones. "Whatw he asks,
with a scornful snort. want steer
prices for pig beef? We like 'em four
years old Heavy beef is the best.
But III tell what | will do. / always
trade generous with neighbors. l will
stretch a point and give you 3 cents if
you'll trade it out"
But even supposing there is a good
market, it will not pay a New England
/ farmer. A steer must have one year
| and another four acres Of good pas
| ture and four acres of hay. Now, on
a fifty acre farm how can man make
living from beef, or even ON a
hundred acres? II he turns of six
steers a year from one and twelve
from the other at an average Of $25
per head he is doing well. Yet what
! family can live on it?
Now. with stock Of five COWS, three
Of them heifers. / have taken in cash
about $3.50. had milk. butter, cream
and buttermilk for the family and
quarts on quarts of skim milk to feed
daily 10 calves. pigs and chickens, and
have the COWS, every one worth more
than twelve months ago. also the
calves l have raised on the skim milk.
Where are the fat steers in compari-
son? One farmer near here raises
heifers and sells them when they come
I'm, usually at about two years old, or
he sells a mature COW that brings
from $40 to $50 and replaces her with
the heifer
So near to markets is almost every
part Of New England that the farmer
cannot afford to fatten beef unless II
may be now and then one as a side
issue. And even that one will bring
good prices at from six to ten weeks
old for veal and the hay fed might be
sold TO advantage. But for a farmer
to think that here in New England
with our long winters to feed through
he can make an easy living by fatten
ing cattle is like his expecting to mine
gold from a New England hillside. FL
might perhaps do both. but it is bes
for the common man to keep out Of
both.-S A. W. Pittsheld, Mass.

remarks: 1t is granted that high pres

In a test of corn for seed made at

tained in this test the station considers
II fair to assume that the seed corn
planted in Illinois during the spring Of
1904 might have been at least s.Sl per

Il does not follow absolutely, IL Is not
far from correct TO reason that the
crop is S.S1 per cent lighter than il

that there We're 100000 bushels OF
