year appear to be very successful.
We have just threshed our crop Of
oats, which yielded /, us bushels;
will keep about $50 bushels for

they are thoroughly dried ont, at

have enough to last us for bed
ticks for a year at least. Am also
arranging to bale about 80 tons
of hay. which Will have for sale,
leaving US about 20 tons loose for
feed. From present indications,
we should have about 1000 bushels
of corn, more than half Of which
can be sold.
I'VE have a bumper crop Of
beans and tomatoes. Have been
feeding them for weeks, and it is
the intention to can about 5000
gallons OF each. Sweet corn will
be very plentiful. VIII save all
that l can for winter use. The only
thing we are short on is late cab
base The drouth killed about half
We had planted. Have had all the
filth cut from pasture land, which
has increased our milk supply to
80 gallons per day from our herd
Of IA cows. Will any Of the ether
institutions need any corn, hay or
oats"

Cherry and Plum Trees.

Can you positively distinguish be-
tween cherry tree and plum tree
in the spring of the year before the
trees carry fruit? You may think
that you can, yet, so similar are some
cherry and plum trees that eventual
lyr you will surely fail unless You en-
ploy the simple rule that trained hor-
ticulturists follow. That one infall-
ible guide is this: The leaves of the
cherry, both in the bud and just after
emerging from the bud, are folded to-
gether like the pages in a book, While
those of the plum are rolled up like
a magazine And. by the way, the
leaves of the peach ale folded like
those Of the cherry, and the leaves
of the apricot are rolled like those
Of the plum.

WHAT REAL VACATION, MEANS
pIav Is the Foundation, and That Con-
sists of Doing Anything That
is Not Work.

A real vacation, if you can get one,
consists of play, asserts Preston Sios-
son in the New York Independent.
Play is the opposite of work. Play IS
whatever is done for its own sweet
sake. If you build fire to warm
yourself or to cook dinner you are
at work.
If YOU build q bonfire because you
like to see sparks redden against the
sable background, of the night you are
at play. II you dance to improve
your waistline or to learn a new step
you are working.
If you dance because you Just
can't make your feet behavef when
the orchestra starts, you are playing.
If you go fishing to catch fish you
are as much at work as II you were
building bridges Or writing editorials
to make money. If you go fishing III
the true fsherman's spirit you Won't
care much whether they bite or not.
The Vacation mind is a law unto
itself. If it enjoys an occupation 1t
keeps on while the enjoyment lasts,
thought every fiber of the tired body
may be shouting "Quit." %
Ii it ceases to enjoy an occupation
it stops at once, though it create con-
sternation all around. A real vaca-
ton is trip into a fairyland, where
the natives never heard of duties or
obligations and the only law is do
what you really like"

rco,or and not good for market. Use
whole spices tied loosely in bag
while cooking and remove before
botsling to prevent darkening the
product by ground spices. This does
not apply to red pepper which helps
to give a bright red color. The pulp
of sweet Spanish pepper or the
ground Hungarian paprika may also
be used to give color and flavor. Re-
move seeds from sweet red pepper,
chop and add cup Of this pepper and
9 medium size onions to l gallon TO-
matoes before cooking.
Cook the tomatoes thoroughly, put
through a colander or sieve saving all

Ion of pulp use the following:
2 tbsp: salt.
4 tbsp., sugar.
1 tbsp. mustard (powdered).
1 pint good vinegar.
1 level tbsp. each of whole allsplce,
cloves, cinnamon, and pepper.
2 small red peppers sliced and seed

After putting tomatoes through a
colander add ground spices and spice
bag, and cock for l 1-2 hours, or url-
til nearly thick enough, then add vim
eear and cook until thick. Rapid
cooking (being careful not to scorch
the ketchup) will give better color
than slow cooking. The finished
product should be fine bright red.
Pour the ketchup at once into not

and concluded that he had not.
Crisicises the Statute

The Legality of the court was
among the exceptions taken and the
high tribunal criticises the statute
providing for such a. court, sholding
that the section of the code under
which such courts are called is not
fair to the defendant. At present the
solicitor merely asks for the court and
it. is granted, it is pointed out. Prior
to the act of 1900 only the chief JUS
tice or the presiding judge holding
court in the particular county could
call the special courts.
The law now throws to the wind
the sensible ard just guarantee Of
fered by the former method of proce-
dure, it is pointed. It makes no pro-
vision for a showing, hearing or
determination of the fact that public
interest, which includes a fair trial
to the defendant, demands special
court, the opinion adds. The sollci-
tor has absolute power under the
present act, the court says.
''The defendant is entitled to be
tried in an orderly manner, however
guilty he may be, in calm judicia
atmosphere" the opinion says. The
nature of the crime, time of trial, cir
cumstances of the trial and the pub
lie mind are all of gravest concern
to the accused. it is pointed, and will
have a bearing on the verdict. "What
was the reason for special court at
Abbeville?" the court asks. There
was apparently no crowded docket,
as the Gossett case was the only one
tried and this could have waited un-
til the next term. circumstances
of this trial demonstrate beyond a
doubt that Gossett, under the opera
tions of the section we are now cor
sidering, was not convicted by due
process of law and was denied equal
protection of the law"
No Change of Venue
A motion for a change of venue
was denied and the court points out.
that 100 affidavits were offered to
show that fair trial could not be
had; the sheriff had suggested mill
tia; foreman of the grand jury made
an affidavit saying that the two Cos
setts could not be brought safely to
Abbeville on account Of the sentiment
against them. A request for a con-
tinuance was also denied. "Tne fail
ure to employ local defense is a
striking index to public sentiment at
the trial." Justice Cothran says.
t The fact that ten days notice is
required by the law for the drawing
of jury and only five were given at
Abbeville was not allowed to stop the
trial, it is pointed out. If the stat
utory notice had been given, the trial
could not have been held at the time,
the court says, "but a slight statutory
regulation must not stand in the
way" The condition of Abbeville at
the time is clearly shown, Mr.. Goth
ran says, when after verdict Of not
guilty had been directed as to John
Gossett, the defendant had to be slip
ped out of town for fear of violence.
In conclusion, the court says that
no reflection whatever is meant to
be cast upon Solicitor Blackwell.
