floor of the fve-story tenement at 451 West
10Th street, yesterday, to welcome to this
country the two younger brothers of her
husband, who at that time were being ex-

next fifteen minutes the other tenants had
no reason to think that anything was wrong
in the Gavagna apartment. Then the
whole tenement was thrown into a panic
when four pistol shots were heard In quick
succession.
A moment later there was a woman 8

fell through the open door leading into the

given with this idea In view. Three
important points arise in considering
fall butchering upon the farm where
the object is simply to secure n sup
ply of meat for family use. First is
the easy and convenient heating of wa

not often that closed room can be
given up 10 this special use.
The first cut shows big galvanized
iron washtub set upon few bricks
piled up for the occasion. A small
fire can be built beneath. which will,
of course. melt off the coating of zinc
on the bottom Of the tub, but this will
do no great harm. Such Il tub can be
purchased anywhere. 1t should be set
up close TO the Strengthening table, and
when the water in the tub is hot two
men lift the tub by the handles and
pour contents into the scalding vat.
This latter may have blanket thrown
over the top If another tubful of water
must be heated. This is much more
convenient TO heat water than by
means of set tub, from which all
the water must be taken out in pals

MICHIGAN STATE GRANGE.
An Able Address Made by state Mas
ter George II. Horton.

Michigan is one OF the live grange
states of the Union ard always has
good report 10 make OF itself at its an
nual meetings. State Master Horton i'm
his annual address said that there were
100 subordinate oranges, with over A.
600 members in the state, holding In
the aggregate about 10000 meetings
annually. He referred with UNSUITABLE
pride TO the achievements of the gram,
in that state. with particular reference
to the subject of equal taxation and for
pure food legislation. He also referred
to what had been accomplished for
good roads, farm forestry, direct legis-
lation and other questions OF public il
terest. He counseled great wisdom I'm
preventing the grange organization
from being illegtimately used Ito fur
Their interests which in time may rise
to master us and TO turn the grange
from its real lines OF usefulness"
We have nowhere seen better state
ment OF the position which the grange
should take on public questions than
that from the following paragraph IN
Mr.. Horizons annual address:
The grange occupies uniqre position
In the social educational, economic and
political affairs OF our state. Its chief
function Is TO discuss and influence or TO
create public sentiment for OF against,
as It's wisdom in council may dictate. IL
discusses schools and outlines plans with
out entering In upon the actual perform
ance of conducting schools. IL encourages
better farming. improved stock, cereals,
fruits, etc, without as an organization
going into the actual financial operations
Of experiments and demonstrations. We
encourage political economy, integrity
and just legislation without organizing or
becoming a political party 10 carry out
our ideas. We strive to influence the
public mind 80 intelligence, justice and
progress shall guide the conclusions and
acts OF the people.
Hon. George r. Horton was re-elect-
cd master by an overwhelming major
ity. The next meeting OF the state
grange will be held at Saginaw.

a closely related species, Polytrichum
juniperum. 4 pasture belonging to
the Vermont experiment station and
considerably infested with moss was
used in these experiments.
Three plots, containing 100 square
feet each, were measured off and lime,
maple wood ashes and sodium nitrate
applied at the rate OF 5000. 1000 and
1000 pounds respectively. Made APP
plication also OH three plots containing
ten square feet at the same rate, but
worked into the soil. These materials
were applied about Nov. 10. 1905, and
about June of the following year
some action had already taken place.
Plot No. /. containing lime as top
dressing, was little affected.
Plot No. =, containing ashes as a top
dressing, was little affected, except in
to be particularly thick. in which places
the moss was unhealthy and in some
cases dead.
Plot No. 3. containing sodium mira te
as top dressing, was greatly changed.
More than half the moss was killed,
and the greatly increased growth Of
grass bid fair TO drive out the rest.
The three titled portions were also
considerably less acid, although not
alkaline in reaction. The effect of lime
when used as Il top dressing is well
known TO be slow, and consequently
later results may prove more favora-
BILE This action shows how much the
mosses are dependent on certain
kind OF habitat in order 10 thrive and
suggests the practicability of using the
nitrate on lawns. etc. that are infected
with mosses. In any case the better
and more luxuriant grass produced
would usually more than pay for the
cost of trouble of application. con-
cludes a writer in American Cultivator.
Nitrate of soda is salt extremely
easy to apply and with scarcely any
smell. Its soiubility and quick action
make it especially effective during n
rainy season.

states OF the Union be made uniform
in so far as the manner of assessment
and the basis of value are concerned.
Then we would be rid Of large
amount OF tax lodging by reason OF
property being shifted from one state
TO another. Ii would remove the prac-
tice OF competition among states in Sc
curing manufactures by reason OF ex-
emptions so freely made under pres
ent conditions and would IN no way
prevent the development or establish
ment OF manufacturing plants. If II
had never been, there would have been
as many manufactures as at present
and states would not have towns at
auction every day, as at present. With
laws enacted along these lines as a
basis, we believe II would not be as
hard as at present TO secure substan-
TALLY equity and Justice in the dlstribu-
ton of the tax burdens. Property IS
property, and we believe everything
that Is classed as property should be
taxed as such. Therefore we favor
collateral inheritance tax law.
