During the civil VIZ Ray Harvey, a
Tennessee Unionist, was run out OF
me state at the instigatIon Of his bitter
enemy. George Wilbur. The case was
especially aggrnvatlng since Harvey
had Just been married. The bride re-
malned on their little farm, getting
On as best she could, while her hus-
band joined the Union army.
Then the Union army came down
and was scattered from the Mssis-
sippi to east Tennessee. One day a
Union general visited Mrs. Harvey's
house to ask her questions as to the
position OF a Confederate force some
distance south. and she volunteered to
20 and find out what he wanted to
know. She mnde the trip. brought the
information and was asked to name
1er collpcnsation. She asked for a
horse whereupon The general told her
to select one from those ridden by his
EtaR. She chose handsome iron gray.
She was told that the horse was
vicious. but she faDcied him and held

Handling Twice In Once Toe often
For Ecomomys
If the manure cannot be hauled di-
rectly to the field, there is no way 70
handle It most economically, because
It must be handled at least twice, and
that is once too often for economy.
In such case, however, the manure
should be taken far enough away
from the stable to keep bad odors
from the cows. If kept under shelter,
it must be tramped reasonably hard to
prevent too rapid decomposition and
must be kept wet enough 70 prevent
"fire fanging.
Better by all means haul directly to
the field, and the manure should DO
spread as fast as hauled 1t is mis-
take TO pillow the field first, then haul
the manure afterward. Piling In large
piles means that whatever liquids come
from the pile will soak into the ground
OF course. But 1t means also land too
fich where the piles are and not rich
enough where they are not--a spotted

when Manure Ia Too "strawy."
If the manure is too 'strawy,' better
leave the field unploWed until the ma
nure is all spread, then plow. Piling
In heaps may cause loss Of nitrogen
in the form Of ammonia. because the
decay Of the organic matter is not TAX
ing place in the soil. where all such loss
would be reduced to minimum.
1t is impossible to hasten decay with
out the loss of ammonia. Lime might
be added. for instance, which would be
folly. Land plaster might be added,
which would lessen the loss Of ann

THE POTATO MARKET
Movement of Murphys Slow at This

and Prices Fiuctuating.
Farmers Taking Advantage of Fine
Weather to Get the Potatoes
Out of the Ground.

The local potato market is unsettled
and huctuating, prices being of course
governed entirely by the demand and
supply at the large purchasing
centers. At the present time the Chi
cago market appears to be glutted.
prices ruling from IS to AZ cents. In
Minneapolis and St. Paul there still
remains a market for local shippers,
but the demand there is fast decreas-
ing, and this means, according to
buyers at this point, at least a tenn
porary decline in prices.
The yield of potatoes in this vicinity
promises to be large and the quality
the best ever brought to the ware
houses. w. 81. Terrell is authority
for the statement that the Burbanks
which he has purchased this year are
the finest taking them on an aver
age-he has ever seen. :-
1t is at this time difficult to estimate
the average number of bushels to the
acre, for not one fourth of the potato
growers have as yet garnered their
crops. So far, however, as we have
been able to ascertain, l25 bushels
per acre will not be far from the aver
age. There are fields which will not
yield more than half of this quantity
but then again there are others which
will run to $50 bushels per acre.
About sixty cars has been shipped
from Princeton this season.
In order to enable shippers of po-
tatOes in this part of the country to

A Good Word for Rev. Swinnerton.

"A Good Word for Rev. Swinnerton.
Presiding Elder Clemans, in his
annual report to the Methodist state
conference at Minneapolis, read the
following anent the commendable work
of Rev. Swinnerton, formerly of
Princeton:
f At Hibbing, Rupert Swinnerton,
pastor, the church building has been
enlarged, beautiful windows replacing
the old, the walls decorated. new
pews, carpet and pulpit furniture; the
parsonage, which was part of the
building, has been made into a lecture
room with rooms for Sunday schools
and other purposes: a new furnace
has also been installed and all ex-
pense provided for. But this is
not all. A new parsonage has been
built, convenient, modern, costing
81, 500, the money being borrowed on
easy terms, the payment being pro-
vided for in three years. While this
work was going on another denomi-
nation was building church, collect
ing money from the same sources that
the pastor was collecting it from. Be-
cause of these improvements Hibbing
has now one of the most desirable
charges in the district, the credit of
which is due Brother Swinnerton be-
cause of his persistent and uuwearied
labOrs.

MIKE HEARS A BANSHEE.

Goes Forth In the Night With - Shot Gun
= and Returns in a Hurry to Bed.
Tom Post tells this tale: Mike Ma.
honey was awakened on Monday night
by frightful bowling which appar-
emily emanated from a corner of the
barn yard. AS he listened his chair
stood up on end like quilts upon the
fretful porcupine." "a banshee, be
jabers," said Mike to himself; "'tis
the wailing of a lost soul, sure. y
There being no cessation to the howl.
Mike at last gathered up courage and
a shot gun and stole forth with trem-
bling limbs into the night. Creeping
slowly towards the pig pen, from
which direction the sound now seemed
to come, great was Mikes surprise to
discover that huge timber wolf had
attacked a ferocious boar and that the
boar was choking the wolf to death.
"Divil a bit do I want to mix up in
that scrap" said Mike, and returned
to bed. In the morning an investiga-
ton showed that the boar had torn
the wolf into a thousand pieces.
