Blind Pig Joint Burned.

Steve Barlow, who conducted a
blind pig establishment at Union,
Cavalier county, was convicted of a
violation of the prohibition law, and
Judge Kneeshaw sentenced him to
four months in jail and fined him $400
six additional months in Jail to be
served in default of payment of the
fine. Six weeks ago eighteen citizens
of Union, headed by minister, called
at the establishment of Barlow, ad-
vised him to get out, and after he left
the building set it on fire, standing by
while the building and contents were
destroyed. He has brought suit against
the eighteen men to recover $2,100,
three times the value he placed on the
property destroyed.

Last evening I was talking

With an editor, aged and gray,
Who told me of dream he had,
I think twas New Years day.
While snoozing in his Office,
The vision came to view. 49,. r
For he saw an angel enter.
Dressed in garments white and new
Said the angel, "I'm from heaven,
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to glory,
And put on your golden crown.
You've been friend to everyone,
And worked hard night and day;
You've enlightened many thousands,
And from few received your pay.
So we want you up in glory,
For you have labored hard,
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal, just reward. >
Then the angel and the editor
Started up toward glory's gate,
But when passing close to Hades,
The angel murmured "Wait,
I have got place to show you,
It's the hottest place in hell,
Where the ones who never paid you
In torment always dwell. !"
And behold the editor was there
His old subscribers by the score
And grabbing up chair and fan,
He wished for nothing more.
He is bound to sit and watch them.
As they sizzle, SINCE and burn,
And his eyes do rest on debtors
Whatever way they turn.
Said the angel, Come on editor,
The pearly gates I see,
But the editor only muttered,
ssThis is heaven enough for me.

New Forms of Fertilizer.

John Thorpe, an authority o. garden
Ing calls attention in an exchange to a
Fertilizer which is now being paced on

In as small as ten pound packages and,
Mr.. Thorpe thinks, will become a great
factor in all gardening out OF doors.
BY spreading thinly Oh the ground be-
fore crops are planted or by sleeping a
couple Of handfuls in a pail of water,
letting it stand overnight, it will be
valuable alike to flowers and vegeta

CORN PLANTING.
Proper Depth In Various SOils-In
View of Drought.

By C. P. HARTLEY.
The proper depth to plant corn must
be governed by the quality and mois
ture of the soil. If 1t is stiff, heavy
clay, containing plenty Of moisture at
planting time, an inch is sufficiently
deep, but If it is light, open, dry soil
three or four inches is a satisfactory
depth. If the corn is planted deeper
than four inches much Of the food sup
ply stored in the seed will be con-
sumed before the young plant can
reach the surface and expand its leaves.
Plants cannot be made to send their
roots deeply into the soil by planting
the seed deeply. They can better be
fortified against dry weather by plant
ing the seed in a furrow, covering it
slightly and then gradually cultivating
the furrow full Of soil as the plants
grow.
This requires some care, however, as
the furrOw should not be filled to any
great depth until the plants have at
tanned Il height of a foot or more and
are in a vigorous condition. This meth
cd of planting Is especially ada.ted to
deep soils, where dry weather is likely
to prevail during the middle or latter
part of the growing season.

GRAIN RUST.
Drainage and Clean Cultivation as
Preventives.

Drainage and Clean Cultivation as
Preventives.
Probably in all cases where it is sup
posed that differences in the compost
ton of the soil have some relation TO
the occurrence of grain rust the real
cause for variation in this respect is
the relative quantity of water in the
SOIL A poor soil will nearly always be
somewhat elevated, and a rich soil low
lying as naturally the richer material
of the soil will be washed to lower
elevations. At the same time and for
the same reason there will be more wa
ter in lower, fertile soils than in the
poorer soils.
The more succulent and watery the
plant becomes from the great quantity
of water in the soil the more rapidly
the rust will grow in the plant, and
this Is, therefore, the reason why more
rust occurs in the fertile lower lying
soils 1t is evident that in grain grown
on waterlogged soils there will be
much more rust than elsewhere and
llldl lIOlObSh VIII lNhh W
lessen the amount OF rust.
On plants grown in heavily MANFRED
ground it is not directly the amount of
heterogeneous material thus furnished to
the plant that is the cause of more rust,
but the fact that such plants are also
thus enabled to absorb more moisture
and always are more rank in growth
and have softer straw.
1t will follow that plenty of sunlight
will have the effect of dissipating mois-
ture and therefore to some extent will
prevent the spread of the rust. Thor
ough and clean cultivation of the soif,
exterminating all weeds and drilling
the wheat instead of broadcasting will
admit much more sunlight and should
always be practiced. M. A. Carleton.

POPULAR GARDENING

Early tomato plants should be pro
tected from the cold when necessary
with some kind of covering if nothing
more than paper or straw.
All the bush sorts of beans may be
safely planted in the open ground in
May whenever it is not unseasonably
wet and cold
Finish planting onions, also trans
planting, and remember there is moth
ing more essential with onions than to
keep the weeds completely down.
Tomatoes endure more cold than Is
commonly supposed Set at least a
few early plants by the middle of May
or earlier as the ground warns up I'M
der fair weather.
Cabbage always does best on a
freshly turned sod and should be set
before the land has time to dry after
blowing. The secret of a large yield OF
cabbage is to start with rich land and
put on all the manure obtainable for
this purpose.
A gardener remarks that the advice
often heard to SOW onion seed thick Is
about as bad as can be given, provided
the seed is good and properly sown.
Beets are the easiest and most hand
fly managed vegetables. not nearly APP

FARMERS FIX PRICES.
Producers of Canning stuff Cooper
ate AdVanta2eOuSIy

go
Two years ago the Farmers Produce
association of central New York was
organized because the farmers were
sure that they were not getting enough
for produce raised for canning, says
American Agriculturist. The object Of
the corporation was to promote the
interests Of farmers and farm owners,
to secure just and commensurate
prices for farm produce and to main
tain the uniformity of usages, Gus
toms and contracts relating to produce
and marketing. There is a member
ship fee of 30 cents, and any member
who shall violate rules and regulations
concerning the sale of Farm produce
shall pay a fine of $25.
Attitude of the Gamers.
Gamers We're very much exercised
because the farmers dared to organize
They denounced the farmers in strong
language, claimed that trust was be-
ing formed and refused to make any
contracts. But in about two months
they decided to contract at the associa-
TONS prices. BY organizing the farm
ers' organization has raised the price
on corn from 30 cents per 100 pounds
to 20 cents, on peas from $1.75 to 1925
per 100 pounds and more than that on
other produce The first year one men,
Der received $50 more for his peas

BORDEAUX MIXTURE.


Four pounds copper s0Ehate (blue
vitrioD, four pounds line Cunslaked)
and twenty to fifty gallons water.
Dissolve the copper in hot or cold wa
ter, using a wood or elrthen vessel
Stake the lime in 2 tub. adding the wa
ter cautiously and only in sufficient
amount to insure thorough stalking
After thoroughly shaking more water
can be added and stirred in until it
has the consistency of thick cream.
When both are cold dilute each to the
required strength and pour both to-
gether in separate receptacle and
thoroughly mix. Before using strain
through fine mesh sieve or a gunny
cloth. The mixture is then reaSy for
use.
Lump Lime the Best.
Considerable trouble has frequently
been experienced in preparing the Dor
deauX mixture. Care should be taken
that the lime is of good quality and
well burned and has not been air
slaked. Jumps are far superior to the
fine lime, and such are selected by ma
sons for preparing finishing coats.
Where small amounts of lime are
slaked, it is advisable to use hot wa
ter. The lime should not be allowed to
become dry in shaking, neither should
it become entirely submerged in wa
ter. Lime Stakes best when supplied
with just enough water to develop a
large amount of heat, which renders
the process active.
A Test For the Mixture.
If the amount of lime in the bor-
deauX mixture is insufficient, there is
danger of burning tender foliage: In
order to obviate this the mixture can
be tested with a knife blade or with
ferro cyanide OF potassium lone ounce
to five or six ounces of water). If the
amount of lime is insufficient copper
while Il deep brownish red color will
be impaired to the mixture when ferro-
cyanide of potassium is added. Lime
should be added until neither reaction
occurs. A slight excess of lime, how
ever, is desirable, and it is seldom
one has to apply these tests.
For the tender foliage of the peach
and the Japanese plums the formula
2-2-50 two pounds copper sulphate,
two pounds lime, fifty gallons water)
is suitable. = Hatch Experiment Sta

EN- HINTS

Two inches is deep enough in bean
planting.
Make some last sowings OF peas.
Thin lettuce to three or four inches
in the row.
Sow beets for succession and trans
plant those that were started under
glass.
Everybody likes corn, and 1t Is hard
ly possible to have too much of it in the
home gardsn. BY planting early and
late sorts and making several plant
ings in May one can secure constant
and long continued supply.
Ones main venture with tomatoes
may very well be deferred till after tbs
of frost is believed to be past.
Cultivate the caulifower frequently
and do not let the soil get baked round
the plants. AS soon as the head begins
to appear bend the leaves over the
head to protect it from the sun. sun
burned caulinower is not attractive.
In the country one may revel in
vines and blossoms at a small outlay of
money and labor.
Thin the turnips out vigorously If
large ones are wanted.
Cold soil does not suit the radsh.
Sow in light, mellow ground.
If perennial weeds of any kind, like
the dandelion, chickweed, speedwell.
etc, have become established in the
grass of the lawn dig them out while
the soil is still soft and the plants
loosely rooted and SOW grass seed on
the bare spots.
The up to date garden includes Swiss
chard. This is grown like beets and
cooked like spinach or young beet
tops, making delicious greens.
