The Grand Army of tho Republic holds Its
twenty-first National encampment ut St.
Louis September 2-4, 3"J und 150, 1SS7. It is
now over u quarter of a coiitury since tho
shot was fired on Fort Sumter, and which led
to tho civil wur. Tho memories of that tcr
piblo struggle have cemented tho members
of tho Oraud Army of tho Republic as com
rades in the bonds of fraternity . Every year
for twenty years these old veterans have
met in unnuul encampment und recounted
the anecdotes, incidents and events of the
war.
The coming encampment nt St. Louis,
according to the belief of Lucius FairchiM,
Commander-in-Chief,
and the General Ex
ecutive Committeo
managing the uffair
will bo especially ac
cessible to Western
comrades, and the

finance committee of
tho encampment has
been at work for
months securing
general fa iiunii.n. fun d s to meet tho
comfort and entertainment of tho com
rades. Tho work of this committee has
been very satisfactory, and one hundred
thousand dollars has been subscribed. This
amount was obtained from tho citizens of
8t Louis, and is considered an evidence of
their appreciation of the compliment paid
the city in selecting it for the twenty-first
National encampment. On Tuesday, Sep
tember 27, tho day before going into en
campment, tho great parade takes placo.
General Fairchiid has determined that G.
A. R. men and veterans of the late war
with sous of veterans only, shall participate
in it Tho order was issued because of tho
largo attendance expected, but even with
this restriction it is known that sixty-five
thousand men will bo in line.
Wednesday morning, September 23, the
business session of the encampment will
be held. At these meetings, tho laws and
rules governing the Grand Army Posts are
created, and old ones modified, if neces
sary. While somo of the G. A. R. Tosts will
take up accommodations at tho hotels,
camps will bo set up in tho different parks
of the city. Tents are to be pitched and
ready for occupation upon the arrival of
Posts. Nothing will bo expected of com
rades other than furnishing their own
blankets. Ex-Govornor Thomas C. Fletcher

The city of St. Louis, where the encamp
ment is to be held, was a century and a
quarter ago a trading post established by
Pierro Liquest Laclede. In 17iU Laclede ar
rived from New Orleans und located tho
post. Tho town was named In honor of
Louis XV., monarch of France. Spain
elaimed it, txik possession August 17, 17iW,
relinquished it to France in ISUl, and the
same year ceded it to the United St ates. At
that time there were in the town ISO houses,
two hotels, two mills and a bakery. The
first newspaper, tho Missouri ilaztli, now
tho Jitjiub'nait, appeared in 10$. In IS09
St. Iouis was incorporated as u town, aud
as a city in 122. The city now comprises
an area of tlO.OtH) acres and extends along
tho Mississippi river for over twenty miles,
with a breadth of seven miles. It ha a
population of about half a million.
BURGLAR'S TOOLS.

"Burglar's tools?" said a veteran police
officer to a Chicago herald reporter, ''why,
yes; there's lots of them around. A good
many are in tho police stations, but a largo
enough number are left in the hands of ex
perienced men to keep us busy, and tho own
ers of wcll-filled safes nervous."
Then leadingtho way to a closet the officer
took down a heavy bundle wrapped in rub
ber cloth. Opening this he displayed an
assortment of tools, of sufficient variety of
sizes and shapes to stock the shop of any
locksmith.
Opening a second bundle tho officer took
out a large, heavy instrument, that to tho
casual observer might havo beeu used for
any thing but watch repairing with equal
aptitude. Tho tool, however, had been
specially designed aud made for the pur-

pose of forcing safe doors and was the latest
product of tho profession that defies locks
aud locksmiths. It is tho latest outgrowth
of the old breast bit and brace, and is capa
ble of applying enormous pressure. In com
mencing operations on a safe with this in
strument three small holes are first bored
in tho outer sheeting' of the safe door, and
tho brace, for such it really is, fastened
firmly to the door by means of the three
screws, T, T, T, in tho triangular piece of
wrought iron, I. When this is done the
hardest labor of the thieves is over, for
after placing tho drill, D, known iu the
thieves' slang as a "tap," in the brace, tho
simple turning of the crank F, and the use
of the wheel E will speedily cut through any
plato of iron or steel however hardened.
The machine is so arranged tint the crank
F merely revolves the drill, while the wheel
E, which closely resembles that used aboard
ships, regulates tho pressuro of tho drill
against tho metal to be cut. After having
reached tho lock a plain steel rod is insert
ed in tho brace C, and tho wheel E being
turned the lock is broken aud the bolts left
free to bo opened by turning tho safe knob.
Tho triangular pieco of iron, 1, is made of
wrought iron, whilo tho remainder of tho
Instrument is made of the best steel. The
steel braces, G aud II, are over an inch in
diameter, and fastened firmly to the trian
gle and to tho perpendicular piece, A li.
The entire instrument is tho work of an ex
pert machinist, and shows that the greatest
care had been taken in its construction.
Among tho braces and drill, marked K in
the diagram, was found a little hand vise,
evidently made for the express use of tho
thieves, as it bore no
manufacturer's stamp
or dato of patent. Tho
vise, though only six
inches in length and
operated by a thumb
screw, was a very
powerf'il one, and in
addition to its uso as a
viso added that of a
wrench. The gang of
thieves from which
this "kit" was capt
ured had secured en
trance to tho office of
tho Norton Mills
through an adjoining
building, and wero
hard at work upon tho
safe when discovered
by the night watch

moning the police tho watchman stood out
side the building and shouted "burglars!"
at tho highest pitch of his lungs until tho
thieves took the alarm and made their es
cape. The querv of "Who makes these tools?"
was propounded to a dozen detectives and
polico officers, but brought only the one re
sponse, "The burglars themselves."
"A good cracksman," said a detective,
"has, necessarily, to be a good machanic. He
naturally relies upon himself for the manu
facture of his instruments, and as he
grows more expert in his work he grows
more inventive. Tho brace over at Des
plaines street is but an improvement on the
old breast brace. Somo ingenious cracks
man evidently discovered that the pressure
of his body was not sufttcent to enablo the
drill to work well, and thought of tho plan
to compel tho safe itself to liold tho brace
and furnish the pressure "Oh! Those
fellows are ingenious enough," added tho
detective, as ho lit a cigar. "The only
trouble is that they spend so much time in
their inventions that they keep us hustling
night and day to keep track of them."

Ins and Storing Celery.
'Earthing up" or "handling" celery, as
the earlier process of bunking is variously
termed, begins about nix weeks after the
plants luive been set out or ns soon us the
bUUks begin to lie down. The object of
this earthing is to keep the stalks upright
and cause u new growth to start the best
for eating. Tho usual plan is when the
plants ure quite dry to compress the
stalks with the left hand aud crowd earth
about them with the other.
A great poiut Is to prevent dry earth
falling between the stalks; it must be
firmed about them in such manner as to
keep the plants straight und compact. The
first earthing up is from two to four
inches high, enough to keep the plant
straight. More soil is gradually drawn
I up to the plant by nieuns of hoe or plow
' until the banking is completed. The bunk

sides sloped. As the plants grow higher
the earth may be dug from tho center of
tho row with a spado und banked up
against tho celery.
Last season attention wns called to the
blanching of celery with tile. It is prob
able that some of our foremost cultivators
will try this plan this season and report
success or failure from the same in due
time.
It should bo borne in mind that celery
must not le worked or touched while wet
with rain or dew; this rule applies not
only to its cultivation In the heed bed, but
to the earthing process and when storing
for winter. Some growers tie tho stalks
with string in place of holding with the
hand whilo earthing.
Celery that is to !e stored for cold win
ter and early spring use need not be
banked, as it blanches after it Is in the
trench. The trenches are dug In dry soil,
well umlerdrained, or where water will
not stand; these ure made the width of tho
spade and as deep as tho celery is high.
The celery is packed in these trenches in
an upright position with what earth ad
heres to tho roots, closely, but not crowd
ing. No covering is put on until the
weather becomes cold. Finally t he trench
is covered with straw, leaves or other
litter, and the earth rounded up along
over the trench. A covcriug of boards
over the litter is recommended.
Clydexdalo Montr.
The draft horse interest is extending
rapidly throughout the country, notably
nil over the west. Larger importations of
draft horses are reported this season than
ever before. As these importations in
clude many Clydesdale horses, a few
words about this breed will doubtless
prove of Interest. There is no question
that a vast Improvement has been
effected of hite years in the breeding of
Clydesdales, though the original stock
contained the elements of what Is really
good and substantial. The increased de
mand, not only from Canada and the
United States, but also from South Amer
ica, Australia and several of the conti
nental countries of Europe, has proven a
wonderful Incentive to breeders. For
merly the valley of Clyde was the chief
breeding district, but nowadays Clydes
dales are bred with about equal success in
nearly every county in Scotland.
While it cannot be claimed that the
Clydesdale is a model horse for every pnr
pose, it may bo said he is a trustworthy,
level headed, docile animal, of great value
as a draft and work horse. Tho average
modern Clydesdale stands from 10 to

Preparing Hers for Winter.
Bees begin to make preparations for
winter somewhat earlier than is generally
supposed. In preparing for winter, as in
deed in all matters pertaining to bee
keeping, apiarians ought to adopt as nearly
as possible methods of management in
agreement with the interests and habits
of the bee. In a report recently issued by
the department of agriculture on the ob
servations and experiments made under
the direction of tho entomologist occur
some notes of instruction on this subject.
It has been found a good practice to
widen the spaces l)etween the comb frames
near the close of the honey gathering sea
son, in order that the bees may, by elon
gating the cells, place a large share of the
winter stores above the cluster. When
bee3 build their own combs after their
own design, as in box hives, spaces are
left between wido enough to admit of
elongating the cells in ordr that a large
share of the winter stores may bo placed
in the top of the hive, easily accessible in
the severest weather.
As soon as the storing of surplus honey
is done the condition of every colony
should be examined, the amount and
character of the winter food ascertained,
the number of comb frames and the size
of the apartment should be determined by
and adapted to the wants of each colony.
After the supply of winter stores has been
equalized among all the coloules, if the
supply is insufficient, feeding should be
done before the advent of cold nights.

Tho bees constituting the colony when
placed la winter quarters should be such

working season is past and before the beet

Toward the close cf tho working season
the workers Instinctively cense stimulat
ing tho queen for ovlproduction; grndu
ally the bees cease flying and the cluster
is formed for the winter. After the clus
ter is formed the colony should remain
undisturbed. If the bees are to be packed
iu tho summer stand tho work must lie
done with care and without disturbing
the lavs and before the temperature ol
night reaches the freezing point. If the
bees are to be placed in a chimp or In a
cellar or winter repository, great care
should be taken not to disturb the cluster
when tho hives are removed from the
summer stand. Woolen quilts or woolen
blankets are the best coverings for winter.
Wool prevents tho radiatiou of heat aud
permits the escape of moisture, thus se
curing warmth and dryness. Hives
should bo set eighteen inches above the
bottom of the cellar or winter repository,
and in tiering them up one above another
it Is better that they rest on a rack pre
pared for

Urine Salting Versus Pry Salting.
Tiio advocates of the so called "new
process" of brine salting butter are tilting
opinions quite freely with tho advocates
of the old method of "dry salting." There
are successful butter workers on both
sides, which makes it appear that each
method possesses merits and that each
produces a good quality of butter. The
question to bo decided seems to be which
method iuvolves the least labor. As high
authority as T. D. Curtis takes the ground
that dry salting is equally advantageous
with the new process nnd less trouble
some. He claims that tho easiest way to
salt butter is the usual one, viz: apply
ing the salt direct to tho butter when it
has reached the granular state.
How to PaNteti Outes.
Much is said and written nowadays
about making stout gates and hanging
them, but little appears in regard to tho
latch attachment or other means of fast
ening the gates.
FIO. I. GATE FASTENER.
A correspondent in Rural New Yorker,
who prefers to swing gates, attests to the
merits of the fastener shown in tho first
cut. He has tried rope loops, chains,
pegs and turnpius, without satisfactory
results, and finds the fasteucr illustrated
the best ever used.
FIO. 2. LATCH ATTACHMENT.
In Ohio Farmer is given a description
of the latch shown in Eig. 2. In this
figures the tooth of a worn out sulky
rake. Straighten the tooth nil except
where it is coiled clear around (seo cut)
and fasten it on a lower board of gate
with a staple, so that, the upper end ex
tends a few inches above the gate, for a
hand hold. Also fasten it to the latch
with a staple, but loose enough to move a
little, and sprung so that the latch will
spring into placo when gate is swung
shut. To prove that you are a practical
farmer, stick a corn cob on top for a
bundle.
Strychnine for Gopher.
Judging from the c rop reports there is a
very general prevalence of gophers
throughout the newer portions of the
northwest. Professor Iludd destroys
gophers on the Iowa college farm with
strychnine crystals. Potatoes are cnt in
halves and their cut surfaces rubbed
with the crystals. These poisoned
pieces are stuck firmly on to
the sharp ends of stiff twigs, nbout
eighteen inches in length. As the burrows
of the gopher are opened n piece of potato
is run in the length of the stick, the outer
end being fastened by sticking it into the
earth at the mouth of the hole. l!y this
means Professor 15tuld reports that the
land was cleared of the pests in about one
week. When tho poison wns scattered
loosely in their runs it proved less effec
tive, as they throw it out untasted iu most
cases.
A Ilnrherry Hedge. -
The berberry or barberry, as this hardy
plant is variously termed, is employed in
some localities as a hedge. It is easily
propagated both from seed and by a
division of the roots. The seed may be
sown in early spring or as soon as ripe
and before they have dried. If the seed
are kept long before planting they are
covered in moist sand. A very usual
plan is to tow the ."cod in the garden
and transplant the seedlings in the hedge
row, though some prefer to sow the seed
where tho hedge is desired, afterwards
thinning out the young plants.
Here and There.
The fruit crop of California is a very
largo one.
Wisconsin's cranberry crop is a bounti
ful one.
Irrigation nnd potatoes seem to go well
together in Colorado, whence large crops
of excellent potatoes nre sent to several
states and territories.
Recent reports show that the chinch
bugs reqnire heroic treatment at the
northwest if the wheat crop of 198a is to
be insured a success.
The Marlboro is reported a favorite
rospUrry in the fruit producing regions
of New York.
The possibilities of profitable wheat
culture are being ngitated in Louisiana.
There Is some talk of a Belgian colony
