The present session of the Febru-
airy term of circuit court will t5rmi-
nate today. The juIymen not en-
gagged on the case of Frank Trego
Us the Roosevelt Mining company,
now on, were excused from further
service at this term, with exception
of E. J. Austin, r. A. Austin and

ate vicinity to try the Enright case,
mention of which was made in this
paper heretofore.
The action brought by 0. A:

J. Austin, w. E. Adams, A. L..
Baumgartner, r. A.Austin, Edward
Heathcote, Fred Wetmore, VIM.
Bauk. Jr., Fred Mertz and W. r.
Morris. There were so many ques-
tons of lawarising in this promisory
note litigation that the counsel for
each side believed with the judge
that the jury was an unnecessary
adjunct and the court thereupOn
discharged the jury and took the
case in hand. One or two points at
conclusion of the case were taken
under Adjustment, but it is conced-
ed that the decision will be for the
plaintiff.
-
The case Of Frank Trego VS. the
Roosevelt Mining company for
money demand was called Thursday
morning and is still on as the Her
aid goes to press. 1t is all over a
roaster-one party states that the

About seven years ago South
Lancaster farmer, whose modesty
forbids the publication Of his name,
hung his vest on the barnyard
fence. A calf chewed up pocket
in the garment in which was con
tanned a standard watch. Last
week the animal, sta1d old mich
COW, was butchereG for beef by
local butcher and the time piece
was found in such a position be-
tween the lungs of the COW that the
process Of respiration, the closing
and filling of the lungs, had kept
the stem-wind wound up and the
watch had lost but four minutes
and two and a half ticks in the
seven years It is one of the most
remarkable occurrences we ever

Lowering the Vitality Of Our Civilization

George Remnants article on criminal
Government" in the November Nc.
Cures is packed with facts of which no
patriotic American citizen can afford to
remain ignorant. The conditions de-
scribed in San Francisco are, unfortu-
nately, not confined to that municipality,
but are appallingly familiar in other
cities, and this article may justly be re.
garded. therefore. as an arraignment OF
our civilization.
Absurd as it may seem, the citizens OF
San Francisco were not even permitted
to clean their own streets at private ex.
,pense when the outrageous negligence
of the "robber government" drove them
to that expedient. Not only were homes,
merchants compelled to pay tribute TO,
the granting of their just rights, not only
were all municipal departments ex'
plotted in the interests Of. the criminal.
in Office, not only was vice protected a.
a source of revenue to officers of the
law, but, browning all other infamy
vicious amusements where children were
corrupted were under government pro
lection. The editorial announcement oil
Remnants articles points out, "When all
the costs of a criminal government Of
the cities of the United States are
counted, this moral cost will be appre'
ciated for what it surely is-the mos,
appalling of all. 1t is not the mere
robbery of a generation of men; it is the
lowering of the vitality of a civilization

There Are Distinct Advantages to Be
Gained From Ita Use.
My experience with the silo teaches
me that no farmer, large or small, can
well afford to be without one. Even
those that have but few head Of
stock will find 1t to their advantage to
build a small silo. While it cannot be
looked upon as the only essential ele-
ment in successful farming, yet there
are a number Of distinct advantages to
be gained from its use, remarks a writ
err in Farm and Fireslde.
find that by Its use the entire corn
crop can be taken from the field at a
time when II contains the highest d.
gestlble food value and stored away in
such condition that all Of these valua-
bic food contents viii be consumed by
the stock. Analysis shows that corn
contains the most digestlble matter
Just at its maturity, before 1t becomes
dry and hard; therefore most OF this
matter Is wasted in allowing it to dry
out, which is the result Of handling it
in the usual way
When the crop is cut and shocked in
the field it must stand all kinds Of
weather, In which case there is a dis
tinct loss, as a portion Of it becomes
unfit for feeding purposes. Then,
again, when hauling the shocked corn
from the field there is always a waste
OF fodder in loading and unloading.
This may not seem to amount to much
Mt the time, but in the course Of sew
eral years II will amount to almost
that Of an entire crop BY the use Of
a silo these losses are avoided.

necessity on any farm, for 1t is a
source from which an abundant supply
or cheap. succulent food comes for the
winter months and seasons Of drought.

sEeDlEsS TOMATOES.
Results Of Breeding Experiments With
This Fruit.


This Fruit
The production of any vegetable nov
city always arouses interest among
seed growers and gardeners. More or
less Of this work has been done by the
experiment stations For a number Of
years breeding experiments with yege-
tables have been carried on by Pro-
fessor Ealsted and his associates at
the New Jersey station Among the
distinct and valuable productions Sc
cured in this work is a nearly seedless
tomato. AS is well known, each fruit
Of the ordinary tomato contains hum
dreds Of seeds, while the form which
Professor Halsted has developed sell
dom contat1s more than fifty seeds,
and frequently there are not more than
five or six and often none
A Plant Of Very Large Size.
This variety has become pretty well
established now and has been called
the Giant because of the very large
size that the plant attains. 1t originat-
ed five or six years ago as a result of a
cross of Golden Sunrise upon Dwarf
Champion.
The seedlings frequently bear three
cotyledons, and the plants are very
slow, growing long stemmed, with the
foliage open, due to the long internodes
and leaves. with the divisions widely
separated, which are crinkled and the
terminal leafet blunt pointed The
flower clusters are small, flowers cup
shaped, light lemon yellow and the
fruits few medium small, light yellow
and nearly seedless. The flesh is par
ticularly fine favored The plants,
three feet apart each way, covered the
ground devoted to the block ard fow-
cred up to the killing frosts near
Nov. i.
The type appears to be well fixed.
Attempts TO cross other sorts upon Ii
have uniformly failed.
Other Varieties Tested.
SeedIess fruits have also been pro-
duced by Professor Halsted onsseveral
varieties and crosses of tomatoes, due
probably primarily to nonpollination,
with other conditions favorable to the
stimulation Of fruit production. These
crosses were quite uniformly dwarfed
In size, many in cluster being not
larger than peas, but solid fleshed and
often of good quality In one instance
the fruit had the flavor of the straw
berry Currant crossed upon Stone
produced such fruit, likewise Crimson
Cushion upon Sumatra. When Grim
son Cushion was crossed upon Giant
and Magnus many seedless fruits were
produced, some Of which were large
enough for table use. Cuttings taken
from plants which produced numerous
seedless fruits of this sort when plant
ed out In the garden gave only normal
fruits.
