.whent, it deems the welfare of the

of A. B. Estebcnet was wholly
within its legal right. No one de

approval of all citizens who desire

from vice and. degenerating influ

that Mr. Estebenet's bar-keeper was
caught in the cct of selling liquor
to minors, a plain violation of the
law and an act that should be most
bitterly condemued. Mr. Estebenet
'denies the truthfulness of these
complaints aud says that at no tim

FINE YIELD OF BERRIES.

Bljr Crop of Dlack and Red Ratyber
. rifts Mid Blackberries. v iv,t
t. D. Viejit has fully demoti
on all the buahes.
The berry of which Mr. Wiest
has the most is a red raspberry.
Two long rows of these stretch
through his garden and as one
walks down the path between the
bushes he can see bright, red, lus
cious berries everywhere. There
will be a heavy yield of these ber
ries, but not nearly enough as
there is quite a demand for them.
They appear to be the favorites
with local buyers.
Another berry of which Mr.
Wiest is proud is the Mersereau
blackberry. These had not yet
ripened but were forming large
green berries which the hot sun of
the past week must Mare battened
toward the ripening stage. These,
too, will yield a fine crop consider
ing the number of bushes tliat are
old enough to bear.
Mr, Wiest will propoxate several
hundred plants from the different
varieties later in the season and will
have them for sale.
HAS RFCEIVED INSURANCE.
Mrs. II. M. Street Has Uecn I'aU Six
Thousand Dollars.
The Bankers' Life Insurance
Company of Des Moines, Iowa, has
paid to Mrs. H. M. Street during
the past week a policy for $4,000
on the life of her husband, who, it
will be remembered was killed and
his body blown into the Matoles
river by an accidental explosion of
dynamite last April. No trace has
ever been found of Strecct's body
and in view of the absence of proof
of death Mrs. Street had to ajgu an
ir.iemnitv lond before she could
recover the insurance. Thi policy
was taken but by Street only a
short time prior to the accident.
Street also onrried a policy for
$2,000 in the UJnited Artisans
lodge. This has "been paid, Mrs.
Street first signinrj; on indemnity
bond. f
It is understood Mra-Strcet and
family have been in quite strait
ened circumstances since her hus
band's death and the payment of
these policies was undoubtedly
most welcome.

Hy this method of irrigation there

has been found mere satisfactory to
apply the water slowly over a large

to soak into the ground, than to ap

On a farm in Connecticut irriga
tion increased the total yield 177
per ccut. In another experiment
conducted under station auspices
the increased yield due to irrigation
was 155 per cent The irrigated
berries were larger and a little later
than the nouirrigated berries. They
brought 1 1 cents per quart in the
market, while the iionimgated ber
ries brought but cents.
The Colorado station advises irri
gation of newly set strawberry beds
about every two weeks, and culti
vation continued until frost conies.
Just before freezing weather sets in

even though the .soil be moist. This
settles the soil about the roots of
the plants aud gives them a prompt,
vigorous start. The water should
be confined to the furrows aud not
allowed to flood the rows. At this
station, also, n small stream allowed
to flow for a long time is considered
better than a more rapid supply. If

An effort was made at the outset
to compel the pigs to subsist on a
diet of artichokes alone; but in the
absence of grain there was very lit
tle gain, and the pigs were not con
tented. They were vigorous in
their demands for something more
substantial.
The artichokes were grown near
the pens, so that the pigs could
have access to them whsuever they
desired. The tubers tvere left in
ground for the pigs to root out as
they were needed
A JKHtion of the plat was meas

to be 7 o bushels per acre.

or an average daily gam per pig of
o.ttr pound. The pigs consumed
during the jxriod 736 otiuds of
grain, or at the rate of j 1 pounds
of grain for each pound of gain in
live weight. In other experiments
i has been found that it requires
about s pounds mixed grain for
each M)iiud of gain in live weight
Ou this basis the feeding of the
artichokes resulted in a saving of
nearly two pounds, of grain fo- each
pound of gain in live weight. The
pigs were healthy and vigorous
throughout the experiment.
The artichokes used in this ex
periment were planted the last of
April on ground plowed deeply and
prepared as we would prepare
ground for potatoes. The tubers
were planted in furrows, which
were three feet apart. The seed
was dropped iS inches apart :u the
row and covered with a hoc. The
plants were cultivated a few limes,
but nfter the tops were two feet
high no further cultivation wns
necessary. The lops grew seven
feet high before the. end of the
season. The pigs left only a few
tubers in the ground. Farmers'
