of president. In the early days Of the
government, the vice presidency was a.:
stepping-stone to the presidency. John
Adams, vice president with Washington,
succeeded him as president. Thomas
Jefferson, vice president with Adams,
became president Martin Van Buren,
vice president with Jackson, was presi-
dent after the latter's term had expired.
From Van Buren's time, however, until
the present no man has stepped from
vice presidency to the Office of presi-
dent by election.
The same "hoodoo" has also seemed to
follow the Office of secretary of state in
these latter days. 1t was not so in the
days of our ~grandfathers. Thomas JEFF
ferson, Martin Van Buren, James Mad
ison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams
and James Buchanan all served as Sec
retary of state before their election to
the presidency. However, Henry Clay.
who was secretary Of state under John
Quincy Adams, was twice defeated for
the presidency after he had received the
nomination, and the same was true Of
James G. Blaine, who was secretary Of
state under James A. Garfield. Indeed,
men who have held cabinet positions
and have been vice presidents have
often sought the presidency, but, with
the exceptions named above, have failed
in securing the coveted office. The presi-
dents cabinet and the United States SEN
ate are not now good stepping-stones to
the presidency of the nation.

THE VEGETABLE CELLAR.
A Suggestion to Farmers Who Have
Furnaces-How One Man
Managed.

In the winter is the time the farmer
takes to lay his plans for the future.
We think that nothing will be bet
ter worth his attention this winter
than the question of a storage cellar
for potatoes, cabbages, squashes and
other products of the field. There was
time when the cellar under the farm
house was cool enough in winter to
Keep most Of the vegetables that it
was desired to keep for some months.
But little by little the big furnace has
invaded the home of the farmer, and
the cellar is no longer the good storage
place 1t was, says the Farmers Re-
view. The night temperature now runs
to SO degrees and the day temperature
to 70 degrees and higher.
All farm vegetables begin to show
deterioration in q few weeks from be-
ing stored. The cabbages and beets
wilt and the potatoes shrivel and send
out sprouts, which have to be broken
on again and again to prevent the
nourishment and moisture in the po-
tato being drawn into the sprout. 1t
is evident that the man with a fur
mace will have to arrange his cellar in
some other way than by leaving it one
open space.
Recently a professor in one of our
agricultural colleges was describing to
the writer a most admirable cold stor-
age room in his cellar He has a fur
mace, and, us is common, the furnace
must have supply Of cold air. He
has had brick partition built across
one end of his cellar, and the cold air
for the furnace is drawn through this
room. It has one aperture opening to
the outside, while on the inside the air
goes into the cold air pipe of the fur
mace.
There is a window in the cold stor-
age room, and of course a door ad-
mits from that into the other part OF
the cellar On cool days, when the
temperature is not so low as to freeze
the vegetables, the professor opens the
window. wide and fills the vegetable
cellar with cold air, and then closes ii
enough to admit of only the amount of
draft necessary to keep the furnace
going.
The results are found to be admira-
BILE, and all vegetables stored there, as
we'll as the apples. are kept in perfect
state of preservation till used.

dent Tyler served the remaining three
years and II months of Harrisons term.
The remainder of his days was passed
at his beautiful home. Sherwood Forest,
in Virginia, devoted to his books and
entertainment of the many guests that
gathered around him. He was an advo-
cate of slavery, and when the war OF
the rebellion broke out he sided with the
south. He was member of the confed-
crate congress, and his death occurred
while he was serving as such, in Rich
mond, on January II. 1862. Zachary
Taylor was the next president to die
in Office. He had served one year and
four months of his term. His death
occurred on July 9, 1850. He con-
tracted a cold and was only sick five
days. 1t is said that worry had much
to do with the cause Of his death. He
was soldier. He knew but little about
politics, and after he assumed the presi-
dents Office the politicians and the Of
fee seekers made his life burden. Mil
lard Fillmore, his vice president, was
then inaugurated president. Fourye
after leaving the Office Mr.. Fillmore was
the candidate Of the "know-nothing"
party for president, but was defeated.
His death occurred at Buffalo, N. Y,
on the 18th of July, 1874, of paralysis.
The tragic death of Abraham Lincoln,
the first of our martyred presidents. took
place early on the morning of the 18th
of April, 1865. He had entered ups n

more than month before. The hand
that brought death to him was that of
an assassin, John Wilkes Booth. 1t twas

the fatal shot was fired. After the
death of President Lincoln, the robes of
chief executive fell upon his vice presi-
dent, Andrew Johnson. His admins
tration was a stormy one. He differed
with the leaders Of his party In regard
to policies, and an attempt was made to
impeach him in the senate. Six years
after he retired from the presidency he
was elected senator of the United States
from Tennessee. He entered upon his
duties as senator on March 5, 1875. In
the latter part of the following July he
went to Tennessee to visit his daughter.
The day after arriving there he was
stricken with paralysis, and three days
afterward, on July 81, 1875. he died.
1t was also an assassin's bullet that
ended the life of James A. Garfield, who
in 1880 was elected president and took

FARM NOTES.

In the making of cornstarch about
100000 bushels of corn are now used
annually.
The corn plant is deep feeder, and
the soil on which 1t is grown should be
loosened deeply.
The area of corn land cannot greatly
increase, but what we have can be made
to produce twice as much as it does at
the present time.
Our farmers must learn to utilize
every resource and utilize it completely
This Is the secret that has made many a
manufacturer rich.
BY proper preparation of the land and
judicious cultivation of the growing crop.
it is possible to greatly increase The
yield Of any crop grown on the farm. /
The department of agriculture found
by testslthat no corn planter will drop
evenly unless the grains are graded to
size. This has led to the invention Of
corn graders. When they are used the
planters do accurate work.

Protection for Apple Trees.

The following from the report Of the
secretary of agriculture for the year
1892 has proved satisfactory in my
case in keeping rabbits from hurting
apple trees: "a piece of closely woven
wire netting about 12x1S inches bent
around the tree and fastened by wire,
makes a sure protection ana costs
about three cents. 1t will also stop
the eating of the bark by mice and
prevent the beetle Of the round-headed
borer from laying eggs, and will last
for several years. A bunch of soft
material stuck in the top will keep j.
in proper position and allow no chafng
of the tree" In my experience the

"Ever since I had nervous prostration,

Any excitement or unusual activity
would throw me into staSe of ifeless-

would come back in moderate time,

"Yes, when became so bad that

after eating, hot flashes, nervous head

feared that my case was incurable."
