place at the June term of court at
Hillsboro before Judge Pollock.
It supplies an interesting echo Of

Cooper, charged with murder in the
first degree, was acquitted after a
lengthy trial. The case was brought
here on change of venue.

STORING CROPS FOR WINTER
Cellar Should Be Carefully Cleaned and All Defects in Walls Made
 Tight With Mortar.
CBy WALTER B. LEUTZO

Have the cellar carefully cleaned be- tore storing away any of the winter supply. If there are defects in the wall make them tight with mortar. If the windows are loose. repair them. These little things may be the means of saving the entire contents of the cellar.
 If the potatoes incline to rot, sort carefully and put fin no questionable specimens. Dust the seemingly per feet ones with lime.
 If the winter squashes are picked before they become fully ripe they will be much more apt to mold and rot
 Make the cabbage heads which in- cline to burst into kraut If you fear trouble in keeping 1t cook part and put into cans. sealing with paraffin. The solid heads need not be put into the cellar until November, but may be left growing.
 Do not despise the small beets, tur- nips and apples. The stock will need them if you do not. And it is aston ishing how much stun of this kind chickens require to keep them at their best. Give them the parings now and save the small fruit or vegetables for winter use.
 If you have more stuff than you need and 1t is not of sufficiently good quality to offer for sale. perhaps some neighbor could use it to advantage Many poor man is glad to get even the culls and windfalls from a large orchard-and the latter is the better for their removal
