Made Him Drunk, Then Murdered Him
-EXonerates Greason in Her
Confession.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 13.-The SUI
preme court today refused to reopen the
case of Samuel Greason, colored, of
Reading, who, together with Mrs. Kate

the latter's husband. Unless the board;
Of pardons, which meets in Harrisburg

asking for the reopening Of the case Of
Samuel GreaSOn, cOlOred, of Berks cOun7
ty, was filed in the supreme court today.
Greason and Mrs. Kate Edwards were
convicted Of the murder Of the latter's

woman exonerated Greason from all
blame.
Should the supreme court grant the
request Of Greason's counsel, neither

liquor until he became intoxicated and
then hit him on the head with hammers

porch when she struck him. He resisted
and made an effort to defend himself,
when she finished him with a succession
of rapid blows. Her daughter Mary, who
witnessed it all, Mrs. Edwards says, then
helped her to throw the body into the
cistern. Mary it now in st. Louis, and
the police officials there have been asked
to keep her under surveillance.

Hens Eating Eggs.

Egg-eating hens are nuisance, and
after many years Of experience in poul-
try raising the writer feels that when
his hens are discovered at the trick the
best way Of stopping it is to kill the
hen If our birds were not well sup
piled with limy substances, such as
oyster shells and the like and all the
grit they desire, we would furnish
these before killing the hen. AS a
rule, the habit is merely habit, and
is not due to any lack Of a food ele-
ment except that Of lime.
Usually the egg -eating hen gets into
the habit by eating an egg that has
become accidentally broken; liking the
taste, she acquires the habit, and once
acquired it Is almost impossible to
break it. We have found it the better
plan to have both grit and the lime
material SO placed that the hens may
help themselves at will. Some hens
REQUIRE more Of these than do other
hens. so it is hard to dole it out prop
erly. It is better to let them decide
as to their needs whenever possible.

The Modern Farm in Germ any.

Electricity for farming purposes has
probably been developed more in Ger
many than in any other country. A
large number Of German estates are
now run almost entirely by it, the
smaller ones being equipped usually
in groups from a single power plant,
as at Chottorf, while many Of the
large estates have their own private
plants A striking example Of this
latter class is the farm of Prof. Back
haus, at Quednau, In the eastern part
Of Russia, which covers an area Of $50
acres and has a dairy producing about
1000 gallons Of milk per day. The
buildings are all lighted by tncandes-
cent lamps and the grounds, In places,
by arc lights. The current Is supplied
from a small central station contain
ing q 5O-horse power engine direct
coupled to two generators, and
switchboard for the control Of the
various circuits, all parts Of which
are so simple and plainly marked that
any farm hand can understand and
operate it. In addition to the lighting,
power is supplied for the pumping Of
water and the driving Of saws, feed
cutting machines, threshing and
grist mill, and an electric churn in the
dairy. Besides these stationary power
appliances there are a number Of cleo
tricaIly-driven agricultural machines
for use in the fields, including an auto
mobile pillow, all Of which are run by
stora ge batteries and may be charged
at conveniently sub-stations. TO round
out the completeness Of the equipment
the barns are heated by electricity
and ventilated by motordriven fans
and all parts Of the farm have tele-
phonic Acknowledgements
ing Record.

Changing a Vegetables Nature.

A rather surprising experiment is re-
ported as made at the Paris Academy
of Sciences. Young radishes were Gull
tivated in a glass retOrt after a pecu-
liar process, using a concentrated solu-
ton Of glucose. Under this trea tment
the vegetable took up starch abund-

Retaining Manure Values.

There is probably no better way OF
handling manure made In feeding cat
tie loose in stables than to apply lit
ter daily to absorb the liquids and
keep the cattle clean and allow the
manure to accumulate under the cat
tie.
It was once supposed that If manure
was kept under cover its fertility
would not be appreciably wasted. The
Department Of Agriculture finds that
large losses may occur, though not to
such an extent, of course, as from the
open yard manure pile.
The best way to keep manure seems
to be to pack it into a solid mass, and
exclude the air, in a somewhat sim
liar manner to the way silage is put
up. The department notes experiments
where steer manure was kept in deep
stalls under the feet of the animals
for months, as against the method OF
cleaning the stall out daily and stor-
ing in compact heap under cover,
enough fine cut litter being used each
day to apparently absorb all the liquid
manure. The deep stall manure was
trampled to very dark, compact mass
and there was very little loss Of the
valuable fertiliZing constituents
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
With the manure kept in heaps one
third of the nitrogen, one-ffth Of the
pots sh and one-seventh Of the phos-
phoric acid was lost, the total money
value Of the losses being equivalent
to $3.50 for each steer stabbed for six
months.
Manure, it Is stated, can be kept
almost perfectly, so far as the fer
tilizer constituents are concerned, by
use Of the deep stalp' system. Ex-
periments show, however, that nitro
gen is lost very rapidly by such man
ure, if it be allowed to lie after the
removal Of the stock, without such
covering as will retain the moisture
and exclude the air.

Counting Q Girl in Spain.

Counting in Spain is conducted on principles that might almost be described as unique. The Spanish girl of any attractions is almost al. ways attended bya young man who is known as her nOvio. and who has the privilege of squirting her on her walks, although by a singular anOmally no formal engagement exists. So long as this state of things continues the young lady has to be loyal and Obedient to her gallant. But he may cease his at tentiOns at any time and openly transfer his attentions to some other lady. Although the advan- tages of such custom are all on the side of the male, very few Spanish girls would care to be without a nOviO, however fickle.- London Globe.

Better that way than the tastion ia which his prototypcs raised their wealth. says the S;. James Gazette. Before the lrti. Ecfai tooth was created defcien. cie: haj;o bemadpgocd by the real arrieie, SD bcdy-snatchers rava.ed the cemeteries at night. breaking up iac jaws of the dead to extract theis teeth to sell to dentists for insertion in live mems mouths. An army of these ghouls followed Wellington. They were licensed as suffers. but, once nirht fell. out came their pliers. and out came the teeth of those dead and dying on the battiefields. It is a horrible idea. but we are not so much more refined today. Only lS months ago somebody was ex. plotting the bones of our soldiers who had fought and died unfar Lord Nolselcy in the Ashanti war. The poor relies were shipped to London, taken S an auction room to be sold as "curios." and only at the last moment was pub. lie opinion too strong to permit the wicked transaction to be car ried through.
