Fresh manure causes a rank growth of tomatoes, melons, cucumbers and peppers at the ex pense of the fruit. Practically every vegetable requires a non-acid soil. If your soil is acid apply 3 tons of ground limestone to the acre. For potatoes use a special potas sium fertilizer. A 2-8-10" or "4-8-10" brand is of superior value for pota toes. In planting group all long season and perennial crops together. The short season crops are soon out of the way and may be followed by a succession of crops if they are plant ed in adjoining rows. Rotate the crops. There will then be less danger from such diseases as potato scab, beet scab, melon rust I and corn smut than when the same crops are grown on the same soil. Thorough cultivation after the gar den is established is the secret of success. "National'i Flowers.

Employe of Largomarcino-Grupe Com pany, Makes Startling Dis covery Yesterday 1. Morning. PAIR OF BEADY EYES 1 Glared at Him When He Cut Bunch—Measured Three and a Half Went to Feet Long. ?,' *U3 When Carl Q. Taylor, an employe of the Lagomarcino Grape fruit com pany cut off the top stalk of a bunch of bananas at the office yesterday morning he was suddenly startled to see a head protrude from the bunch, a small flat sinister looking head with two flashing eyes in it. It was not a half inch from his arm before he put into effect safety first measures and retired from the immediate vi cinity of the object. It was a snake all right and was coll ed around the stock of the bunch. near the top. Other employes of the of fice soon gathered to wonder and' ponder over the situation, the first of this character that had ever confront ed them, for never before had a snake been discovered on a bunch of banan as, although, several tarantulas had been captured in the past. Two beady, cruel eyes glared with venom at the men and a wicked fork ed tongue darted furtively at them. Finally some chloroform was secured and the unwelcome visitor was put to sleep after which toe was unwound from the stock. And lo and behold, there lay before them a young boa constrictor, one of the wprld's most deadly snakes, and its largest, from the swamps and jungles of South America, a snake that history and geography tealbes us winds its coils about its victim and chokes him to death. The young boa measured three and one half feet in length and had iust recently shed its skin. The old skin remained on the bunch after the boa had been abstracted. The snake is spotted with yellows, tans and browns. The shipment of bananas in which the snake came was received here fw»» New Orleans on April 21 and had been In the store room since that time. When the shipment arriv ed a cord was tied around the bunch in whic*h the boa was reposing not a half dozen inches from him, but ths discovery was not made until yester day. The bananas originally came from South America.

To be exact, it was on April 21, that amid a great popular demonstration, the members of Company A took the train for Des Moines. The time of departure was 8:30 o'clock in the morning and the company marched down Main street to the train, be tween a crowd that lined the side walk of the street the entire line of the march. After camping on the state fair grounds et Des Moines for nearly a month, the Keokuk company was mus tered into the United States service on May 17, 1898 in the Hftieth regi ment of Iowa Volunteer infantry. Four days later the company left for Florida and went Into camp at Camp Cuba Libre, Jacksonville. There the company remained through out the summer, constantly ready for active service, hut never being called upon for duty at the front. In Florida Company A was under the command ot.

At the close of the summer cam paign when it became evident that no additional troops would be needed in Cuba or the Philippines, the Keo kuk company returned tc Des Moines. This was In September and it was mustered out of service in the month following. Prior to the departure of Com pany A, patriotic mass meetings were held in public places in the lo cal business district and there were many speeches by prominent citizens. Numerous parties and receptions were held for the men on the after noon of their leaving, the entire county turning out to give them a rousing send off. The streets were thronged with people and many touch ing scenes were enacted as the sol diers bade farewell to their parents, friends and sweethearts. At Des Moines the Keokuk com pany proved among the best drilled companies encamped at the capital and the Fiftieth Iowa Volunteer in fantry was the second regiment to be mustered in and sent' south. Many of the Keokuk men were disappointed in that they were not Sent to the front, but during their, stay in Jack sonville, they were kept in ever readi ness.

Washington Democrat: Parley Sheldon was beaten for mayor of Ames, at the spring election. He had served twenty-two years, and then was beaten. All of which is not of very much importance. The thing of greater importance, Is that he served twenty-two years, with honor to the town and credit to himself. And in that time, he likely madq enemies. Undoubtedly, he stirred up many a hornet's nest, when he did not let things go just as the other fel low wanted it to go. And after the long tenure of office, nobody accused Parley Sheldon of anything crooked in office. He gave his time and strength for the good of Ames. 'Being mayor of a country town. Is always a thankless job, but it may be made a man's job and Farley Shel don made it a man's job. Ames is just a country town, but the great agricultural college, makes Ames known all over the plvilized world. Parley Sheldon helped make Ames a town worth while but finally, the people got tired of hearing of the good Parley Sheldon had done and de feated him, Just as they got tired long ago, of hearing of Aristldes the Just. Which sfcows that human na ture does not change. And the man wbo was elected may or of Ames will be known as the man who beat Parley Sbeldon. Both Ways, Probably.
