Will Hoch Be Convicted?
Whether this character will be con-
victed of the crimes with which he is
charged is merely matter of conjec-
ture, but whatever turns up it will be
recorded in the annals of crime in the
United States, and doubtless in the
world, that no greater case of whole

has ever come into the public lime

against Johann Hoch, a man whose
operations have been felt nationally in
two countries and have attracted al.

Use of Hen Manure

Hen manure is strong in nitrogen and
should be used with care. If you have
stable manure it is best to mix the drop
pings of the poultry whit, Ifyou must
use it alone, put it on asparagus rhu-
barb. lettuce or any of the plants that
are grown for top. Do not use it in large
quantities on plants grown for root OF
fruit without adding some potash, or you
are likely to have more top than is need
ed. A friend of mine used it on straw
berry vines and ruined the crop. If it
is not to be mixed with other material,
a good way to apply it is to WORK it into
the soil before the seed is sown, then add
wood ashes. Do not mix the manure and
ashes, as the result is a setting free Of
the nitrogen.-Faymers Voice :

to otherwise dispose of is illustrated
in the case of Mrs. Anna Schmidt Hen

Fattening the Horse.

The cheapest and quickest way to
put fat on thin horse is to give little
exercise and feed freely of buckwheat
bran and middlings. This makes a
soft fat which will work off in a few
days at hard work. Plenty of good
sweet clover hay. a limited amount of
exercise and a green ration made up of
one part by weight of linseed meal
two parts oats and five Parts corn, will
put horse IN much better condition.

Make a box Of one

inches deep, Two
- H. and one-half feet
~) wide and four feet
long with tight
matched bottom.
At one corner bore
a hole for drainage. Fill this box with
four inches of mellow. rich soil. If nee
essary. stir some fertilizer with it before
it is put into the box. Settle the soil by
shaking. removing all Jumps and waste
matter, and cover the surface smoothly
with about one inch OF fine sand. Water
the soil thoroughly by sprinklins the
surface with fine spray. using care not
to wash out the sand
Provide pail to receive any water
that may drain through. Place the box
before a window upon frame made OF
tWo-inch pieces, such as shown in the
cut. Allow it to remain in the sun two
or three days until the soil is thoroughly
warm, then plant the seeds in rows about
three inches apart and deep enough to
be below the layer of sand. Tilt the box
toward the sunlight. so that it may get
all the sun possible. Keep the surface
we'll moistened. but do not water enough
to cause drainage water to run through
the SOIL
If there is considerable sunlight. such
box will grow vigorous plants in few
weeks after planting. The room must
be kept at the ordinary temperature OF
living room, and not allowed at any
time to become very cold, or the plants
will be injured. If the box is turned
around every day or so the plants will
grow more stocky and will not be
drawn" by the light. The plants them
selves will indicate by their leaning to-
ward the light just when this should be
done. The window before which the box
stands should not be opened to allow the
cold air to reach the growing plants un-
til they are of sufficient size when they
may be hardened before putting out IN
the open ground.
