obedience TO subpoena, as a wit
ness before his court. The penalty
was fixed at 800 and costs, and
ninety days in the work-house. /.
Efforts were started Saturday, to
have the work house sentence COM
muted, by number of Murray
City people conversant with the
details of the case.
At the time of the original
trouble in Murray City, John
Ileavener assaulted Frambes, and
was called LAST Friday to answer
an Indictment for the same. He
pleaded guilty, and was fined 300
and costs. About the same time
IIenvener assaulted the marshal of
Murray City, and was fined $25
and costs for that.
Indictments against both Heav
ener ana Swearinger, for intimi-
dating witness, were nollied af-
ter the above cases had been dis
posed of, as it was generally
thought that the penalties already
amounted to enough. The intimi-
dating charges were founded upon
threats made by the two against
Noah Powell, Of Murray City,
who was here as witness. Joe
Girard, who was indicted with
Swearinger, forfeited his bond of
$3.50, by skipping out some time
ago, and it was paid by his surety,
George Nansickle.
LATER-On Wednesday several
of Murray City's Anti-Saloon ad-
vocates headed by Messrs. Powell
and Davidson, came to Logan to
petition the Court t. suspend the
work-house sentence imposed upon
Swearinger. The saloon men of
Murray and the church people had
meeting; the saloon fellows gave
up the fight and asked for an un-
derstanding. They agreed to obey
the laws in every particular if the
church people would go to Logan
and petition the Court to suspend
the work house sentence on Swear
niger, on account of his wife and
babies. Judge George Martin
heard the petition presented by
Mr.. Davidson, but held his deci
sion until to-day, when he tele-
phoned Sheriff Williamson that if
all fines and costs should be paid,
that he would suspend the work
house sentence only during good
behavior, but that if Swearinger
should violate the law again that
the three months iE the work
house now suspended would be
fully justified. Swearinger's
friends are making an effort to pay
out, all of which amounts to more
than $500. Murray City saloon
men will be good, and we might
say in this connection that most
OF Logan's saloon men are obeying
the laws, but few are trying to
do some skulduggery. 1t might
be we'll to remind the erring ones
that heavy fines and work-house
sentences are the order of the day.

Gardening for Children.

The growing interest in school gar
dens has given rise to a demand for
more definite instruction on the SUBJ

purpose have been held at Horticul-

was given suitable for beginners in
gardening. The tools recommended
were the narrow blade hoe and rake
and weeder and the lines. All the
speakers emphasized the need Of kill
ing the weeds as soon as they come
up and not allowing the ground to
become hard. The young gardeners
were recommended to plant common
things that were fairly sure to grow.

FRUIT BOXES.

Sir-An article on the market page
of Saturdays News, headed Does
Box Hold a Quartz" Is timely though
Inaccurate in some respects. 1t gives
the dimension of the square quart
box as Az inches by Az inches by 2a
inches, and the capacity as so cubic
inches. The article also states that
the oblong box holds legal quart
and the square box less than quart.
The fact is, the shape Of the box
has nothing to do with the capacity,
as there are short quarts in all
shapes, and some of them hold but
little over pint, as exposed for sale,
The package used at this fruit
farm is the square box, Az by 4B by
21R inches, inside measurement, hold
ing practically 60 cubic inches, level
fall The fruit is then piled on top,
so that the top layer of boxes with
elevated bottoms of five-eighths of an
inch) will just fit down without crush
ing the fruit. The top layer of boxes
in turn are filled just so the lid
will go on without crushing the fruit,
the lid being sufficiently high above
the top of the top layer of the fruit
to allow of a nice rounding up" OF the
boxes.
Filled in this way, boxes of the
capacity mentioned hold a good hon.
est quart when they leave the pack
ing house, and consumers get what
they pay for. And | am glad to say
most of the Parke County fruit grow
ers use these full standard packages.
The fruit box joke, like the mother
in-law joke, has no doubt some good
grounds for its existence, but there
are some good mothers-in-law and
also some honest quart boxes, and the
thing to do is for all to be made
good, or at least uniform.
The News could be of much service
to the public generally If it would
agitate the question of uniform pack
ages for small fruits, and fruit grow
ers who are trying to do a straight
business will not object if that pack
age be full dry measure capacity. II
The News will give this matter some
attention, | think the next Legislature
could be compelled to enact law
covering the points mentioned.-Tom

THE CRUEL CHECK REIN.

More and more horsemen are COM
ing to see the cruelty and folly of
the checkrein and are dispensing
with it. An English paper uses the
following illustration against it:
"The master who compelled la
borer to do a stiff piece of digging,
wearing a high collar and tight coat
would be rightly condemned; yet the
man who makes his horse work ham
pered by a hame-rein is acting in
similar way. The horse is prevented
from lowering his head and throwing
his weight into the collar and so is
forced to move his load by sheer
strength, which takes it out Of him
much more than if he could use his
weight as well. Those who understand
these reins as harmful; they spoil the
horses mouth by chucking the bit;
when tight they give him sore mouth
and frequently force the top of the
windpipe out Of place. They hinder
him at work, and strain his back and
legs, while he cannot rest when stand
ing with his head up. They are both
cruel and unwise for it is sheer folly
so to treat a horse as to wear him
out sooner than is unavoidable.
There is no reason at all for using
a hame-rein, except in one case, the
trace-horse of team working on land.
Even then, IL there are driving reins,
the hame-rein is not needed, its only
use being to keep the animal from
grazing while at work. But suppose
the rein is used, there is still Lo need
for it to be so short as to annoy
the horse. He ought to be able to
put his nose quite down to his knees,
and certainly should be able to pull
his load uphill without the constant
checking at the bit, caused by the
hame-rein as commonly used. In no
case should the rein be sewn into
the bit; it should only be put on
when absolutely necessary, and 1t
should be so made that the carter
cannot shorten it. The hame-rein is
not used in Scotland in either town
or country, so that If the Englishman
pleads in excuse that he cannot man
age without it. he shows that he Is
both helpless and ignorant"

THE CULTURE OF SQUASH.

Grown in garden or field the squash
Is heavy feeder and must have an
abundance of fertilizer to do well.
II prefers, also, a moist soil which,
to keep the Inder surface moist,
should be underdrained by vein OF
luicksand 1t will then respond read
lily to a liberal application of good,
fine, thoroughly rotted barnyard man
ure; especially so if the ground was
broken up early in the spring, and
the weed growth kept in check by
cultivating the top soil to good
depth until planting time.
Anywhere from the first to the mid
1le OF June, according to latitude and
variety, the seeds should be planted
Before It is done, however a large
shovelful of well-decomposed barn.
yard manure should be placed in each
hill, in addition to the previous fer
tilization; other conditions being
equal, this will stimulate the young
plants to a rapid growth.
The hills should be made at least
eight feet apart, since if closer to-
gether there Is apt to be crowding,
which means an excess of vines, and,
accordingly a loss of fruit; and to
insure good stand and admit of the
plants being thinned. as their growth
demands after the beetle season is
past, from a dozen to fifteen seeds
should be dropped in each hill. Scat
tered about somewhat, they should
be covered with finely pulverized soil
to the depth of not over three-fourths
of an inch.
As soon as they come up thorough
tillage should begin and continue un-
til the vines cover the ground. Deep
and often the dirt should be stirred be-
tween the hills and rows, and the
surface about the hills raked over
with a garden rake. Any crust forma-
tion around the plants will thus be
broken up, and that assists not lit
tie in their growth. After the dan
ger from insects is past, three stalks
are enough to leave in each hill.
If not closely watched at the out
set, however there may soon be none
left at ALL The stripped yellow
beetles alone are capable of running
every squash in hill during an hour
or two of a bright, sunny morning. Is
suing from the earth in myriads, as it
were, they will often pounce upon
the tender leaves ere they have hard
ly seen the light of day. Land plas-,
ter, with which has been mixed kero-
sene at the rate of a tablespoonful TO
quart measure, should be sprinkled
about to keep them away. Used in
time, few preventatives are better.
For exterminating the black or
brown bugs, which appear later and
smell so Extensively, the best way is
to place some bits of wood, as
shingles, around the hills. They will
collect beneath these to pass the
night, and may therefore be caught
and killed each morning. Next comes
the cut-worm, which is the most diff
cult of all to combat in that not un-
til the mischief has been done is its
presence manifest. Hence, it is a
wise precaution to SOW wood ashes
and lime in the squash hills and about
the vines before this worm gets
chance to do any harm. Planting
squash in new place every year
helps their escaping, to some. extent,
the ravages of insect pests.-Fred o.
Sibley, in the American Cultivator.
