The manager of the Maine Provision
and Cold Storage company, Mr. Vose,
ban gray horse which knows as much
us aiiy animal in the city, Bays the
l'orUuud Press, not excepting the fire
department horses, as bis owner thinks.
The company stables its horses on Fore
street, and Mr. Yose's horse is also
kept there. To do away with the ne
cessity of hiring a man to to the
stable at four o'clock every morning to
feed these horses an ingenious device
was arranged which answered every
purpose until the arrival of the gray
horse. The device consisted of two
alarm clocks which were set to go oil at
four o'clock. A heavy weight was so
arranged that when the alarm started
the weight would drop and pull a wire
which opened the trap doors and the
feed then came tumbling into the man
gers qf.the horses.
After the arrival of the gray borse it
was noticed that allot the horBes be
came very hungry long before noon
each day. This could not be accounted
for until some one stood watch to see
what was the occasion for the state of
affairs. The watcher soon learned.
After the horses were fed at night and
had eaten all that was given them, the
gray horse reached up and, taking the
wire in bis mouth,pulled upon it. Down
came into the mangers the feed that
was intended to fall at four o'clock. Of
course the horses proceeded to eat at
once, and before noon were very hun
gry. A man now feeds the horses at
four o'clock, and the gray horse pulls
the wire in vain.
A Philadelphia woman who lived in
Salt Lake City for a number of years
under the old order of things relates
some customs there which are intensely
interesting, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. She says:
"The Mormon law required a man to
provide a house, wood and flour for
each five wives lodged in the Beehive.
Brigham Young himself violated the
separate bouse obligation, as he bad 25
wiveB lodged in the Beehive and 75 in
the Lion bouse, low buildings with in
clOBing walls and gateways, surmounted
by figures of a lion and a beehive.
"How peaceful and harmonious the
Lion house was may be inferred from
the fact that one of Brigham Young'B
sons on one occasion seized a knife and
tried to carve up the cook, and the
whole 75 wives held this, their son,
blameless. Tbe story ran that, adjudi
cating the case, Brigham emulated the
wisdom of Solomon and desired the par
ties to the conflict to assume their orig
inal positions they held during the fray,
but the cook declined to take the extra
risk.
"Each Morman man was expected to
have four wives, so he built a row of
four little houses on an acre lot. Each
wife bad a front and back door and two
windows, and a quarter acre of ground
to cultivate. Tbe hueband was sup
posed to spend a week with each wife,
but usually he gave the moBt of his
time to the one that was the best cook.
Some of tbe wives craved their husband's
society, but others, who found it very
expensive to board bim, preferred that
he should lavish the greater part of his
society on the other members of his
famlly.»_

HARRISON I SMITH
ajMiijg
TheBtateof Iowa has been victim
ized by certain irresponsible building
and loan societies and imitation life in
surance associations to $uch an extraor
dinary extent that the attorney general
has recently found it necessary to in
veigh with unusual, and seemingly de
serted, bitterness against the whole
brood, and to recommend legislative
action looking to their better control.
His observations appear to be remark
ably accurate for one in his position,
political incumbents as a rule being
neither well versed in the true status of
such organizations and the injury they
indict nor in the needed methods for
their betterment.
The cry, of course, is at once raised
that he is discriminating against home
industry and that the various fake in
atitutioQB that he denounces, being
Iowa born and bred, must be let alone.
As a matter of fact, the state is the
home of at least one standard life or
ganization, small, but managed upon
the correct and safe principle of gen
uine insurance, which does not come
within tbe purview of his attack at all.
But the horde of make-believe life in
surance concernB.that have been started
in that state, as elsewhere, in order to
show people that old, legal and conserv
ative ideas are all wrong and that two
and two can easily make live, as well as
tbe crowd of badly organized and
worse conducted building and loan
associations, are up in arms against
this plain-speaking attorney general.
There appears, however, to be a good
chance that their attention may be di
verted elsewhere, as some of their vic
tims have caused a resolution to be in
troduced in the legislature calling upon
tbe governor of state, the state treasur
er and auditor and other officials to in
form that body what, if any, connec
tion they have had with local insurance
or building and loan associations, and
generally why the concerns in question
are not better managed. It is claimed
in thlB proposed resolution that many
of the Btate officials are directly
or indirectly interested in some of the
poorest of the associations. Intention
al wrongdoing is not alleged, but an
inability to know the genuine from the
spurious 1B strongly intimated. Prob
ably the resolution will be tabled, but
its introduction has done no harm
while the pungent recommendations of
tbe attornev general that the whole
business be looked into and tbe state
guarded so far as may be possible
against a continuance of the
evils Beem to be still in order.

And, strengthening Faith ai vigils grew long,
She watched with the angels at bedside and

But Mary Jane's Lord knew the ways of

You can destroy more weeds in a day
by burning tbe seeds than you can in
the whole season by trying to destroy
the pests next summer.
Disease may lurk in that old well that
has not been cleaned out for several
years, Better clean it out before the
doctor cleans your pocket book out.
A few days devoted entirely to the

this job and keep the women in much
better humor. fc
A man who cannot find pleasure'in
arranging and rearranging his tool sheds
stables, grain bins, etc., when other
work is not pressing, or on rainy days,
has but little interest in his work.
It will cost you nothing to find out
all about silos if there is one within
driving distance of you. Take a day

It may be money in your pocket some
day.

Prize Corn Orop,
There are corn crops and corn crops.
It is possible for two men to raise each
100 bushels of corn to the acre and yet
have one man raise twice at much corn
to the acre as the other. This appears
paradoxical, but it is easily explain
ed. One man may plant his corn at
such a late day that it will become only
well glazed at the time it has to be
gathered for exhibition while the other
man may plant bis corn early and thus
give it time to thoroughly mature be
fore it must be gathered. Corn gather
ed just after the roaBtiog ear period is
very heavy, and will at that time some
times weigh double what it will when
it has been well dried. This is the se
cret of some of the enormous yieldB of
corn recently reported. The figures
that claim yields per acre well up to the
200-bushel mark are baBed on weighed
and not measured bushels. Inspect
that Bame prize corn a few months after
it has been gathered and it will be
found looking very shaky. Every ker
nel will be found standing by Itself and
with an abundance of room between it
and its neighbors. Really such prize
corn does not till the requirements, or
should not. The water content of corn
should be taken into consideration, and
we are not Bure that It would not be a
good idea to have each sample entered
analyzed for its water content, and thiB
analysis be taken into consideration
when making the awards.—Farmers'
Improved notation.
It waB doubtless early in mans ex
perience in farming that he learned
that some rotation of crops, rather
than growing the same successively on
the land where it had previously been
grown, was necessary. But there have
come new applications of the doctrine
of rotation since it is known that some
crops are actually renovating to the soil
and that there is the greatest advan
tages in alternating clover and other
legummouB crops with the grains
which are very exhaustive of fertility.
Under the usual rotation the land only
comeB to clover seeding every fourth
year, and in that time one hoed crop,
one small Bpring grain crop and one
winter grain, wheat or barley have been
taken from it, which with but one year
in clover for hay or pasture completes
the rotation.
But neither spring small grains nor
winter grainB give the profit they once
did. If one of these can be left out,
the clover seeding and growth of clover
will come every third year Instead of
every fourth. Or, if it 1B desired to
keep up the four-year system, tho grain
may be seeded with timothy as well aB
with clover, and kept a second year in
grass, which if the second year waB
mown ought to be generally pastured
the second season. But this requires
that the land should be more heavily
manured as the second year of grass,
which is the third spring after clover
seed has been sown, tbe bulk of the
clover will have run out. The timothy
roots will produce a good crop tbe third
season, better probably than the second
