PERFECT APPLE STORAGE.

)
Any out-building with a dirt floor
may be utilized in carrying out the
plan for storage given below. Or,
posts may be set and boards nailed on
till place Of suitable dimensions is
formed. The leaves necessary for use
are more readily obtained than one
would think. Large sacks Of any de-
scription will serve for the purpose
of gathering fallen leaves. Sheets
are also very handy and efficient for
the purpose.
After making sure that the dirt
floor is fresh and clean, sprinkle a
four-inch layer of forest leaves over
the surface. Place the apples on the
leaves, and pile them so that none
will be closer to the sides than one
foot. WhSn the desired quantity is
thus piled, cover the tops and sides
with a layer Of leaves one foot thick,
and form some sort of roof. The APP
pies will keep in splendid condition
and when taken out will have re-
tanned more of their natural, delic-
ious flavor than those stored in the
cellar or common apple-pit. I'M. Al
bertus Coverdell, in the Indiana
Farmer.

DIANTHUS KNAPP.

"A yellow ''pink" is somewhat an
anomaly, but as we have white pinks
as well we need not grumble at the
paradox the term implies. In Dian
thus Knapp we have one with yellow
flowers, and it is consequently a spe-
cies which arouses much interest in
the minds of those fond of the genus
dianthus. AS a garden plant it APP
peals to many, but one finds that it's
longevity is not always so great as
one would like, and that frequent
renewal from seeds or cuttings is de-
sirable. D. Knapp is one of the
erect-growing species, and reaches a
height of about foot, and looks even
better in the rock garden than one
would suppose from it's character. 1t
is equally well suited for border
flower, and in either place its sturdy,
erect growth and its clusters of yell
low flowers make it favorite with
many, apart altogether from its I'M
common color. 1t is easily raised
from seeds, but may also be multi
piled by cuttings, taken off immedi-
ately after towering and stuck in
pots under glass. 1t is native OF
Hungary and adjacent parts. Its
Towering time is usually June and
July.-Journal of Horticulture.

ADVICE ABOUT STRAWBERRIES.
l.. Strawberries do well on almost
any well drained soil, which is free
from frost, reasonably fertile, and not
infested with white grubs.
2. There is little danger of max
ing the soil too rich, but there is a
possibility of injuring the plants with
commercial fertilizers, If placed too
closely about the roots, and with
coarse manure.
8. Commercial fertilizers seem to
have no effect on white grubs, nor
does manure, but the latter stimu-
lates the plants SO as to repair the
damage.
A. The best fertilizers are we'll
rotted manure, bone meal and wood
ashes.
s. The best method Of preparing
the soil is to pillow in the fall, mulch
with manure, and fit the ground IN
the spring with cultivator and har-
row.
6. The best time to set strawberry
plants is in early spring. When
plants are to be set in the fall they
should be especially grown for the
purpose, either in frames or in pots.
Z. For matted rows the plants
should be set eighteen inches by four
feet apart, and for hills one foot by
three.
8. In hill culture the runners ere
all removed, and for the best results
Al matted rows a part should be cut
eff, or some of the plants dug out.
9. Generally, it is better TO Keep
a bed only one season, but II KEPT
longer the best treatment is buraing
soon after fruiting.
10. Winter protection should De'
given by mulching, and the best ma
terial is swamp hay.-Ohio Station

UINTAH ROAD BLOCKADED
AND THE PEOPLE ANGRY

One of the most interesting
events of the week will be the
arrival of the mail from Dragon,
the first since last Friday night,
February IL. There has been
another blockade on Baxter Pass
and il has been "A bad one. From
z5 to 100 men have been buck
ing snow every day and almost
as fast as they got it out of Tie
cut the wind blew il back again.
The drift was something like two
miles long and at some times it
was us much as 20 feet high.
An accumulation of mail and pas
sengers piled up at Mack and Dragon
to awful proportions. The passeng-
ers at each end grew very impatient
especially those who had been there
since last Friday and more than one
thought seriously of walking across
In fact more than one tried it. r. S
Collett, who left here last Saturday
tackled snow shoes part of the way
and reached Mack Monday. Horace
Coltharp who has been in Mack since
last Friday has kept regular trail
for some distance on the other side,
trying his luck toward the summit OF
the pass. In some places the snow
was almost up to his head.
The first train to reach Dragon
was coal train on Wednesday af-
ternoon. The people of the valley
are very patient but there is limit
and they will begin TO wonder one of
these days why the Uintah Railway
company does not transfer the mail
from one end of the blockade to the
other on snow shoes. Uncle Sam
usually figures that nothing must de-
lay the United States mail except
fire or water.--Vernal Express.

Bill Was Loaded.

One of the sensations of the week
was the discovery that on January IA
Rep. Copley introduced a bill which
passed the senate and house and was
signed by the governor before any
one noticed that it restored to the
state tax commission their old power
to review assessments on complaint
of any taxpayer in the state. This
feature of the law nearly caused a
revolution a few years ago before 1t
was repealed and had il been known
or noticed the bill would have met
one of the most desperate fights that
the legislature has known in years.

Increasing the Salaries.

An increase OF $164,6 for salaries
of heads of state departments and
some other high officials. That Is
what is already provided for in part
by the new constitution and in part by
pending legislative bills.
The new constitution provided a net
increase of $4,000 for heads OF depart
ments, those benefited thereby being
the governor, attorney-general, secre-
tary of state, state treasurer and land
commissioner.
A bill has passed both houses, thar
is not yet signed by the governor, pro-
viding for an increase of $4,000 a year
for superintendent OF public instrue'
ton, and one is pending to raise tho
salaries of the state railway commits,
sion $4,000 year. Then there Is the

Worked Banks for $500.

An 1S-year-old girl in the guise Of a
decidedly green maiden, flimflammed
two Lansing banks out of nearly 5000
March IL, on two forged checks drawn
on the State Savings bank of Mason
TO Helen Carpenter One check for
$257.30 was supposed to be signed

buyer of Mason, and the other by
Harper Reed, wealthy business man
of the same town. Each of the men
do business with the Mason bank,
also with the two Lansing banks. and
the checks were taken at once. When
the checks were returned to the local
banks it was discovered that they had
been let down about 5000 by a clever
forgery.

trick obtained the blank checks at
Mason and there evidently learned all

number OF acres of tax lands applied
for and sold is 22,569 and the receipts
from these sales were $20,730.65. The

of these lands and paid for them ST.

crued taxes, penalties and costs. There
were no applications left over from
last year. In refusing to consent not
to sell any more lands as the legisla-
ture by resolution requested until an
act can be passed Withdrawing such
lands from the market, he asserts that
he is strictly obeying the law which

any person who tenders him the taxes
and charges officially advertised as
standing against the land.

theory of evolution as advanced by
Prof. Charles Darwin, when q loud
shrek from the balcony interrupted

Old resident of the city, had died
of valvular disease OF the heart. The
woman was quickly removed to her
home.
Mrs. Grimes, with several friends,
was occupying seats in about the

the lecture as far as it had pro-
crossed DR.. ]. A. Wessinger. who
wac in the audience, rushed to her
side as soon as the alarm was given.
Mrs. Grimes death is thought to
have been due to the closeness Of the
hall. The building was packed, every
available chair and space being
taken. Nearly 800 were turned away.

lecture.
