Senator Frank Landee of Mo-
line before lorimer Pr0bers.
LAWYER CHARGES CONSPIRACY
EIbridge Hanecy Endeavorine to Con-
meet Governor Deneen with Plot to
Drive Senator Lorimer Out
Of Illinois Politics.

Chicago, Oct 11.-Renewed effort,
to attribute rhe prosecution of Senator
William Lorimer to conspiracy
headed by Governor Charles s. De-
neen were the features OF the resump.
ton Of the inquiry by a committee of
the United States senate into Mr..
Lorimer's election.
Senator Frank A. Landee of Moline
was the first witness. In long cross
examination, full OF clashes and
wrangling, Attorney Elbrdae Hanecy
tried to force him to say that Gov
ernor Deneen had besought him to
testify as an anti-Lorimer witness.
Senator Landee's testimony had con-
cerned an alleged offer made to him
by Representative Charles Luke, now
dead, to sell ten Democratic votes to
Hopkins: and visit to his home in
Moline by John T. hughes, secretary
Of the Federal Construction company,
who, he said, offered him control of
federal patronage in return for vote
for Lorimer.
Mr.. Hanecy's persistent pressing of
questions intended to bring in Gov
ernor Denen's name and 20 prove that
Attorney Alfred Austrian, attorney for
The Chicago Tribune during the first
Lorimer Investigation, had sought
Landee as witness, brought rebuke
from Senator Lea of Tennessee.
In defending his course Mr.. Hanecy
made this sensational charge:
1--WE will show that a conspiracy
and combination exists here and has
existed to drive William Lorimer out
We have demons trated by this witness
alone, certainly by a mas of testimony
We have shown and will show that in
pursuance of this conspiracy every
time 1t IS found necessary to strength
en- story or tell different story
than was told at the previous senate
inquiry, or before the Helm inquiry,
some witness is found to do it,"
John H. Marble. chief attorney for
the senate committee, leaped 10 his
feet with this protest:
81 think Mr. Hanecy ought to be put
on the stand to testify. He should
not as counsel, be allowed to make az
sertiols here concerning things he
cannot know about"
John NJ. PETERS. former secretary to
Senator Hopkins, and now attorney OF
the city of Aurora, ILL.,, testified that
State Senator George M. Mccormick
met him in the illinois hotel and told
him that he would give him $4,000 II
he would change his vote from Hop
kins to Lorimer PETERS said that
when he refused Mccormick asked
him to name his amount.
Senator Lorimer attended with In
tense interest the developments OF the
day. which proved that the subsequent
sessions of the inquiry will fully equal
In excitement those of the past.

Official announcement Of the bank

Finally when the news came to

Then came numerous congratulations,
most of them by telephone, and few

sulting in an inexcusable amount OF
decay and waste of the fruit. A few
pointers at this time, to prevent such
waste, are worth considering.
III apples are harvested too early
they are apt to be understood and OF
poor quality. If harvested too late,
they will not keep as long In storage
although they will be of hfsh color
and of good size and color when
picked We do not expect a winter
apple to be ripe at harvesting time.
1t should be full sized, however, well
colored and it should separate readily
from the spur. If, when picking the
apples, the stems are pulled out or the
spurs broken, it is too early to har
vest that particular variety.
Apples should be handled like eggs.
Any break or rupture in the skin
caused by worms or carelessness in
handling is the starting point for the
various rots and other forms of de-
cay. No fruit harvested by shaking Of
branches or knocking the fruit off
with poles is worth storing. Hand
picking is absolutely essential. The
fluit should be Grasped by the palm
Of the hand, that no ABRASION may he
made b! the finger nails.
Apples should be placed and not
thrown or let fall into the picking
basket, A careless picker will ruin
more fruit by letting it fall into his
basket instead of carefully placing it
there than his services are worth. A
great amount Of fruit Is also ruined
by pouring 1t from the picking basket
into barrels. If barrels are used, the
basket should be inserted into the
barrel and carefully inverted that the
fruit may not be injured.
The fruit should then be stored as

The fruit heats in the piles and ripens
very readily. The aim in storing. fruit
Is to retard this ripening process that
the fruit may be kept longer. Do not
store fruit that has been piled in the
orchard for any considerable time
after picking. Get q good spring wag-

OPERATE A SEED EXCHANGE
Concrete Illustration of Benefits That
Can Be Derived From Farm
Cooperation.

Farmers of Meeker county, Mimi,
have struck on novel plan for CO.
operative marketing Of farm produce,
says the Prairie Farmer. In this
county there are about dozen small
clubs Of farmers which are united in
one central club, They have a build
ing at the county seat in which any
farmer can place on display any sam
pie of grain or seed that he may have
for sale. He is required to attach to
the sample the amount that is for sale,
also price and his name and address.
Mr., A. ID, Wilson, an extension worker
In the state, comments on the plan
as follows:
This plan makes It convenient for
a farmer, looking for seed for any
crop, to find out whether or not he
can get that seed in his own county;
and If he can get it, to save the extra
expense of one farmer selling his seed,
shipping it to the city, then the other
man buying 1t and shipping 1t back.
Glover that can be bought of farmer
for 10 cents per pound would cost 20
cents per pound, at least, If It had to
go through the ordinary channels Of
the seed trade
THE same idea can be carried out
regarding the transfer of live stock.
There is no doubt but that the estab-
lishment of a seed exchange in most
Of the trading centers of the state
would be a very great benefit to our
farmers, and insure the wide dlstribu.
ton of homegrown hardy seeds"
This is certainly a concrete illustra.
tion of the benefits to be derived
from farm cooperation, and should be
a stimulus to some inactive farmers
clubs.

chain that leads to prosperity.
Our experience was something like
this: In September of 1909, we built
one sile 16x93 (three feet in the

Of common field corn, filling it full.
We fed some forty head of stock and
milk cattle from September to May.
From May 18th, we borrowed Of our
neighbor load of ensilage every day
until September Is, 1910, feeding 20
head of COWS on ensilage and 25 acres
Of pasture. In September, 1910, we
erected our second silo-16x35, Give

calves until March, 1911, and have
enough ensilage to feed the % head
of COWS and winter calves until Sep
tember again-all this ensilage made
from 35 acres OF very poor corn, but
awful good fodder.
We kept account Of the labor and
all cost Of harvesting the corn, filing
the silo, and all expenses to complet-
ing the job, and the actual cost per
ton is only $120 Who can say that
it costs too much for such excellent
feed?

SILO MAKES MONEY
Many Advantages to Be Gained
by Their Use.
Saves That Portion of Corn Crop That
Usually Goes to Waste and Con-
verts 1t Into Succulent Feed
Sort of Endless Chain.

The use of the silo Is of such vast
Importance to the farmer in general
and to the dairyman in particular that
l cannot refrain from giving some eX-
periences in the use of the sllos in
the last two seasons, says a writer in
an exchange.
The many advantages to be gained
in their use are: The saving of that
portion Of the corn crop that most
usually goes to waste, the fodder part
of the crop; almost every particle that
grows above the ground is converted
into the most succulent food. The
silo is the most convenient place and
way of caring for or disposing of the
crop. BY the use Of the silo, this
vast amount of dry matter in the fod-
der is converted into the most perfect
fertilizer to be replaced on the acres
from which 1t grew. One acre of 40
to so bushels Of corn with a fair
growth Of fodder will produce from
eight to ten tons of feed and ultimate
ly furnish, with the straw added for
bedding something like six to ten tons
Of the best manure.
'Tis about after this fashion: You
grow more corn, to convert into en-
silage, to feed more cattle-milk COW,

Probably one of the most novel

About 600 feet from the church IS

around which are huge piles of tail
ings. Upon one of these steel tower
60 feet high is erected and a windmill
IS feet in diameter installed. At the
base of the tower in small house is
an electric generator which is run by
the mill. The current thus generated
feeds 27 lamps in the church, two in
