f r o m l n t n t C i t i z e n Charged With Trifl ing With a Young

Lady's Affect ion*, .

For some time, it is alleged, one of our prominent citizens has paid more or Ids* att ntion to a popular young charming lad/ ot tbis town.

He now claims that be was not serious in his intentions and that be was not attached to her, but however that may have been tbe young lady be-caine attached to him, and as he beems to bave lost interest in the matter she has attached bis property, which is a form of attachment that he does not enjoy.

Tbe result is, that he finds himself the defendant in a firstclass Breach of Promise Case and bio questionable attitude towards tbe widow will be given an airing in the near future.

The parties in the case are so prom­inent that it is leaved no court room will bold the vast crowd desirous ol attending the trial, so it will be bold in Pinckney Opera House, on Tuesday evening, April 7th, under the aus­pices of tbe Christian Endeavor Society for whose benefit tbe proceeds will be devoted.

In other words, it will be a Mock Court Trial, and it promises to be one of the moBt enjoyable affairs of many years, as a large number of onr lead­ing people will participate in the pro­ceedings.

The committee having the trial in charge have engaged Col, A. V. New­ton, the well known lawyer-lecturer of Worcbeater, Mass,, to attend to tbe details and personally conduct the ent­ertainment.

Col. Newton has had remarkable success in conducting similar enter­tainments and without donbt the Breach of Promise Trial will be here as elsewhare, an event long to be re­membered with pleasure.

Barn Burned.

Saturday evening while John Haseenscabl on the Sigler farm, south ot town, was milaing, the lantern ex ploded and m an instant of time tbe basement ot the barn was in fiamee. He bad bard work to pel the cows out of tbe stable but did however, al­though about 35 aheap in another part were shut off from escape and were burned. The flock was valued at $300.

The barn burned to the ground and was a total Joss, amounting to about $1,000 with the sheep. The live stock was insured, and barn was insured for $400.

A new piece of mach ine ry for the as­s imi la t ion of i m m i g r a n t s is the night-school in labor camps . L ike so m a n y o the r useful agenc ies or the day, it has been car r ied to successful develop m e a t by a womau, who has organized such schools among the unski l led la-bore r s whom con t r ac to r s employ. In most of the camps whe re these schools have been es tabl ished, about one-third of t h e men usually a t t end . Ins t ruc­t ion in English, which is t h e bait, has been given in a most unusual way. In­s tead of learning from p r imers tha t " th i s is a ca t ." the adult pupils learn from special text-books that " th is is"a pick," and discover (he impor t ance of unde r s t and ing and knowing how to f-'ay, "Get out of the way," ••Listen," , " l i t r e comes the t r a in . " and "Do you I want a job?" Not the least i n t e re s t ing j of the effects which t he se schools have I had is the t r ans fo rming of d isorder ly j and dangerous c a m p s into quiet and i peaceful communi t ies . !

A Mystery Story of Sua Francisco

(Cupyrl«Ut 1*M, %h» a«U»JlemII Co.;

CHAPTER I. A Dangerous Errand.

A city of hills with a fringe of houses crowning the lower heights; half-mountains rising bare in the background and becoming real moun­tains as they stretched away in the distance to right and left; a confused mass or buildings comiug to the water 's edge on the flat; a forest of masts, ships swinging In the stream; and the streaked, yellow, gray-gre«n _w.si.ter of the bay taking a cold light from the setting sun as it struggled through the wisps of fog that flut­tered above the serrated, sky-line of the city—these were my first impres­sions of San Francisco.

The wind blew fresh and chill from the west with the damp and salt of the Pacific heavy upon it, as I breasted it from the forward deck of the ferry steamer, El Capitan. As I drank in the air and was silent with admiration of the jeautiful panorama that was spread before me, my com­panion touched me on the arm.

"Come Into my cabin," he said. "You'll be one of those fellows w h o can't come to San Francisco without catching his death of cold, and then lays It on to the climate instead of his own lack of common sense. Come, I can't spare you, now I've got you here at last. I wouldn't lose you for a million dollars."

"I'll come for half the money," 1 returned, as he took me by the arm and led mo into the close cabin.

My companion, I should explain, was Henry Wilton, the son of my father's cousin, who had the advan­tages of a few years of residence in California, and sported all the airs of a pioneer. We had been close friendd through boyhood and youth, and If was on his offer ot employment that I had come to the city by the Golden Gate.

"What a resemblance!"* I heard a woman exclaim, as wo entered the cabin. "They must be twins."

"There, Henry," 1 whispered with a laugh; "you see we are discovered." Though our relationship was not close wo had been cast in the mold of some common ancestor. We were yo nearly alike in form and feature as to perplex all but. our intimate ac­quaintances, and we had made the resemblance the occasion of many tricks in our boyhood days.

Henry had heard the exclamation as well as I. To my surprise, it ap­peared to bring him annoyance or ap­prehension rather than amusement.

"'I had forgotten that it. would make us conspicuous," he said, more to himself than to me, I thought; and hft glanced through the cabin as though he looked for some peril.

"We were used to that long ago," I said, as we found a seat. "Is the bu*ines3 ready for me? You wrote that you thought it would be in hand by the t ime I got here."

"We can' t talk about It here." he said in a low tone. "There is plenty ot work to be done. It 's not hard, but, as I wrote you, it needs a man of pluck and discretion. It 's delicate business, you understand, and dan­gerous if you can't keep your head. But the danger won't be yours. I've got. that end of it."

"Of course you're not trying to do anything against, the law?" I said.

"Oh. it has nothing to do with the law." he replied with an odd smllo. "In fact, it 's a little matter in which •we?, are—well, you might say—outside the law."

I gare a gasp at this distressing suggestion, and Henry chuckled as he saw the consternation written on my face. Then he rose and said:

"Come, the boat is getting in." "Hut I want to know—" l began. "Oh, bother your 'want-to-knows.'

•It's not against the law— just outside it. you understand. I'll tell you more of It when we get to my room. Give me that valise. Come nlon^ now." Anil as the boat entered the slip we found ourselves at the front of the pressing crowd that is always s«rging in and out of San Francisco by tho gateway of the Market SLrect ferry.

As we pushed otir way through the clamoring hack-drivers and hotel-run­ners who blocked th* entrance to the crtv, I was ronsetl by tf sCuflden thrill of the Instinct of danger that warns OA« when he meets the eyf, .ofv a

mm snake. It was gone In aninataat, bat I had time to trace efetlf t6*ta*ulfc. f" The warning came thjs \ t i m e ' {rwp thq eye* of a man, a lithe, keen-faced WHO* wjo| fla»h*u a look of t r iumphant mallce|^H tis a | he disappeared in the wa4Mag*ocW «* the ferry-shed. But the keen face and the basilisk glance were burned into my mind m that moment us deeply as though 1 had kuowu then what evil was behind them.

My eoinpaniou swore sofii> to him self/

"What 's the mat ter?" I asked. "Don't look mound, he said. We

arp watched." "The snake-eyed man?" i "Did you se« him, too?" His> man­

ner was careless, hut his tone was troubled. "I thought 1 had given him the slip.l' he continued, "Weil, there's no help for it now."

"Are we to hunt for a hiding place?" 1 "asked doubtrully.

"Oh, no; not now. I was going to take you direct to my room. Now we are going to a hotel with all the publicity we can get. Here we are."

In another moment we were in u lumbering coach, and were whirling over the rough pavement, through a confusing maze of streets, past long rows of dingy, ugly buildings, to the hotel.

"A room for the night," ordered Henry, as we entered the hotel of­fice and saluted the clerk.

"Your brother will sleep with you?" inquired the clerk.

"Yes." Henry paid the bill, took the key,

and we were shown to our room. Af­ter removing the travel-stains, I de­clared myself quite ready to dine.

"We won't need this again," said Henry, tossing the key on the bu­reau as we left. "Or no, on second thought," he continued, "it 's just as well to leave the door locked. There might be some inquisitive callers." And we betook ourselves to a hasty meal that was not of a nature to raise my opinion of San Francisco.

"Are you through?" asked my com­panion, as I shook my head over a melancholy piece of pie, and laid down my fork. "Well, take your bag. This door—look pleasant and say nothing."

He led the way to the bar and then through a back room or two, until

with a turn we were iu a blind alley. After a pause to observe the street before we ventured forth, Henry said:

"I guess we're all right now. We must chance it, anyhow." So we dodged along in the shadow till we came to Montgomery Street, and after a brief walk, turned into a gloomy doorway and mounted a worn pair of stairs.

The house was three stories In height. It stood on the corner of an alley, and the lower floor was in­tended for a store or saloon; but a renting agent 's sign and a collection of old show-bills ornamenting the dirty windows testified that it was vacant.

"This isn't just the place I'd choose for entertaining friends," said Henry, with a visible relief from his uneasi­ness, as we climbed the worn and dirty stair.

"Oh, that 's all right." I said, mag­nanimously accepting his apology.

"It doesn't have all the modern con­veniences." admitted Henry as we stumbled up the second flight, "but it's suitable to the business we have in hand, and—"

"What 's tha t?" I exclaimed, as a creaking, rasping sound came from the hall below.

We stopped and listened, peering into obscurity beneath.

"Jt must have been outside," said Henry, and opened the door of the last room on the right of the hall.

The room was at the rear corner of the building. There were two win­dows, one looking to tho west, the other to the north and oprnins; on the narrow* alley.

"Not so had after you ger in," said Henry, half ns an introduction, half ] as an apology.

"It's luxury after six days of rail­roading," I replied.

"Well, lie down there, and make the mrrat of it. then," he said, "for there may b* tronbte ahead'." -And he listened Rgain at the crack of the rtoor.

"In Heaven's name,"Henry, what'* op?" I exclaimed with «ome temper. "You're an . lu l l jrf ^uaynlpriea as u dime-novel.'**-". • o ,r-

Henry wmlled grimly. "Maybe you don't recognize that

ihis is serious bualuwcjtt»" he aaid. 1 was about to protest that 1 could

not know too* Hineb, when Henry raised his hand with u warning to si­lence. J heard the bound of a cau­tious step outside. Theu Henry sprang to the door, liung \i open, and boiled down the passage. There was the gleam of a revolver in his hand. 1 hurried after him, but as 1 crossed the tlue&bojd he was cgming softly back, with linger on bis lips.

"I must see to the guards again. 1 can have them together by midnight."

"Can I help?" "No. Jus t w.alt here till I get back.

Holt the door, and let nobody in but me. It isn't likely that they will try to do anything before midnight. If they do--well, here's u revolver. Shoot through the door it anybody tr ies to break it down."

I stood In the door, revolver in baud, watched him down the hall, and listened to his footsteps a« they de­scended tiie stairs and at last faded away into the murmur of life that came up from the open street.

CHAPTER I I . A Cry for Help.

I hastily closed and locked tho door. Theu 1 rallied my spirits with some­thing of resolution, and shamed my­self with the reproach that I should fear to share any danger tha t Henry was ready to face. Wearied as I was with travel, i was too much excited for sleep. Reading was equally im­possible. 1 scarcely glanced a t the shelf of books that hung on the wall, and turned to a study of my surround­ings.

The room was on the corner, as I have said, and I threw up the sash of the west window and looked out over a tangle of old buildings, ramshackle sheds, and an alley that appeared to lead nowhere.

Some sound of a drunken quarrel drew my attention to the north win­dow, and I looked out into the alley. There were shouts and curses, and one protesting, struggling inebriate was hurled out from the front door and left, with threats and foul lan­guage, to collect himself from the pavement.

This edifying incident, which was explained to me solely bj* sound, had scarcely come to an end when a noise of creaking boards drew my eyes to the other window; The shut ter sud­denly flew around, and a human figure swung in at the open casing.

"S-h-h!" came the warning whisper, and I recognized my supposed robber. It was Henry.

"Don't speak out loud;" he said in suppressed toneg. "Wait till I fasten this shutter."

"Shall I shut the window?" I asked, thoroughly impressed by his manner.

"No, you'll make too much noise," he said, stripping off his coat and vest. "Here, change clothes with me. Quick! It's a case of life and death. I must be out of here in two minutes. Do as I say, now. Don't ask ques­tions. I'll tell you about it in a day or two. No, just, the coat, and vest. There—give me that collar and tic. Where 's your ha t?"

The changes were completed, or rather his were, and he stood looking as much like me as could be imag­ined.

"Don't stir from this room till 1 come back," he whispered. "You can dress in anything of mine you like. I'll be in before twelve, or send a messenger if I'm not coming. By-by."

He was gone before I could say a word, and only an occasional creaking board told me of his progress down the stairs. He had evidently had some practice in getting about quiet­ly. I could only wonder, as I closed and locked the door, whether It. was the police or a private enemy that he was trying to avoid.

I had small time to speculate on the possibilities, for outside tho win­dow I heard the single word, "Help!"

I rushed to the window and looked out. A hand of half a. dozen men was struggling and Ixtshing away from Montgomery Street into the darker end of the alley. They were nearly under the window.

"Give it. to him." said a voice. In an Instant there came a scream

of agony. Then a light showed and a tall, broad-shouldered figure leaped back.

"These aren't the papers." it hissed. "Curse yon, you've got. the wrong man!"

There was n moment of confusion, and the light flashed on the man who had spoken and was gone, tiui the flash had shown me the face of a man I could never forget. It was a strong. cruel, wolfish fare—tho face of a man near sixty, with a fierce yellow-^ray mustache and imperial—a face hroa.l at the temples and tapering down in'o a firm, unyielding jaw, ami marked then with all the lines of rage, hatred, and chagrin at the failure of his plans.

U took not a second to? me to see and hear and know all this, for ihe vision came and was gone in the drooping of an eyelid. And then there

echoed through the alley loud crtet ot ••Police! Murdej»*3pf!9t" ? <w*r e o * adorns that there was a man running through the haH and clown the rickety staka, ' m a t f i g ' t o bfWdlng ring to t h * s a m e / t o e * £ ' J ;

ft? will rtbus Mth a fejeliug or sur­prise tha t I found myself in the street, and came to know that the cries foi help had come from me, aud that. 1 was the man who had run through the hall and down the stairs shouting foi the poliee. The street was empty.

Fortunately the policeman on the beat was at hand, and 1 bailed him excitedly.

."OiUy ro,liLnK a drunk," he said lightly, as I told of what 1 had seen.

"No, it's worse than that I insisted "Yhei'e was murder done, and l"m afraid it 's my friend." '

He liHttaed more attentively as 1 told him how Henry had i e r t th* house just before the cry for help had risen.

"It's a nasty place," he continued-"It's lucky I've got a light . ' Ht brought up a dark lautern from nib overcoat pocket, and stood iu the shelter of the building as he lighted it. "There's not many as carries em," lie continued, "but they're mighty handy at times."

We made our way to the point be neath the window, where the uieu hail stood.

Thei*? was nothing to be seen—no sign of struggle, no shred of torn clothing, no drop of blood. Body, traces and all had disappeared.

CHAPTER I I I . A Question in the Night.

1 was stricken dumb at this end to the investigation, and half doubted the evidence of my eyes.

"Well," said the policeman, with a sigh of relief, "there 's nothing herp. A suspected that his doubts of my

sanity were returning. "Here is where it was done," I as­

serted stoutly, pointing to the spot where 1 had seen the struggling group from the window. "There were surely five or six men in it."

"It 's hard to make sure of things from above in this light," said the policeman, hinting once more his sus­picion that 1 was confusing dreams with reality.

"There was no mistaking that job," I s?.id. "See here, the alley leads farther back. Bring your light."

A few paces farther the alley turned at a right angle to the north. We looked narrowly for a body, and then for traces that might give hint of the passage of a party.

"Nothing here," said the policeman, as we came out on the other street. "Maybe they've carried him into one of these back-door dens, and maybe they whisked him into a hack here, and are a mile or two away by now."

"Hut wo must follow them. He may be only wounded and can be rescued. And these men can bo caught." I was almost hysterical in my eager, ness.

"Aisy, aisy. now," said the police­man, "tlo back to your room, now. That 's the safest place for you, and you can't do nothin' at all out here. I'll report the case to the head office, an' we'll send out the alarm to the force. Now, here's your door. Just rest aisy. and they'll let you know if anything's found."

And he passed on, leaving me dazed with dread and despair in the en­trance of the fateful house.

Once more In the room to wait till morning should give me a chance to work. I looked about the dingy place with a hear t sunk to the lowest depths. I was alone in the face of this mystery. I had not one friend in the city to whom I could appeal for sympathy, advice or money. Yet I should need all of these to follow this business to the end—to learn the late of my cousin, to rescue him. if alive and to avenge him, if dead.

Then, in the hope that I might find something among Henry's effects to give me a clue to the men who had attacked him, I went carefully through his clothes and papers. But I found that he did not leave memo­randa of his business lying about. The only scrap that could have a pos­sible hearing on it was a sheet of paper in the coat he had changed with me. It bore a rough map, show­ing a road branching thrice, with crosses marked here and there upon it. Underneath was wri t ten:

"Third road—eockneyed barn—iron cow."

Regiua, Sask , 23rd Nov., 1907. ComiiiisaioiuT ol Immigiati-m,

\yrinnil)es-Dear Sir:

II ia with pleasure that I reply to your request. Some years ago I took up u houieaiead for myself- and also one lor inv aon. "Hap half seption which W$ own is situated between Kmileau and Drlukwater, adjoining l!u> Moose Jaw creek,, is a low level and heavy land. We put in 70 acres of wheat in stubble, which went 20 bush­els IO the acre, and 30 acres of ssum-nu.y frtjluw, which went 23 bushel* to i l l , acre, All the wheat we harvested i W year 'is No. 1 hard. That rri'eans Hie best wheal-Miat ; can be raised on tlue&mb. We did nut sell any wheat yet as we./intend to keep one part for /11111 own seed, and sell the other part to people who want first-class seed, for there is no doubt if you sow good wheat you will harvest good wheat. We also threshed 9,000 bushels of first-class oats out of 160 acres. 80 acres has been fall plowing which yielded 90 bushels. • per acre, a nd 80 acres stubble, which went LJ0 boshela io the acre. These oats are Hie best kind that can be raised. We have shipped three car loads of them, and got 5o cents per bushel clear. All OUT-grain was cut in the last week of the month of August before any frost could touch it.

Notwithstanding the fact that we have had a late spring, and that the weather conditions this year were very adverse and unfavorable, we will make more money out of our crop this year than last.

For myself 1 feel compelled to say that Western Canada crops cannot be checked, even by unusual conditions,

I am. deai' sir. Yours truly,

(Signed) A. Kaltenbrunner.

W H Y THEY SLEEP IN CHURCH.

Hypnotism,- Not Orowsinets, Declared to Be the Cause.

"Churchgoers don't sleep in church. They undergo an hypnotic trance. The soothing' voices and mild rmisie and monotonous recitative of tt church service put forlh powerful hypnotic influences,' and that is why the pews resemble a railroad track in the abundance of the$r sleeper*,"

The speaker, a hypnotist, banged i lie table' vehemently.

"Don't laugh," he saiil. "It's true. Hypnotism, not drowsiness, is what makes you sleep in church. Through \odr auditory nerve sound waves are I>ass"d to your brain that are as ef­fective., a l t h o u g h a professional hyp­notist 'fipd made them. Sound, you Unotf. is the newest and hest hyp-notite.

"Ait first, in the church service, the l.eritdieity of the wave alterations in short. There is n little speaking, ihcni more music. And just when you are set t ing properly lulled the clergy­man, in a modulated, agreeable, sooth­ing voice, speaks on and on and on— and you begin to nod. You are, hyp-no' icallv speaking, entranced.

-Hie* average church service is 9 scientifically correct hypnotic instru­ment. No wonder, then, it puts many of ir& to sleep."

Beyond Him. On the occasion of the production

of Lucia" at the Metropolitan opera house last winter a well-known club­man, who had taken a cousin from a Connecticut town to hear Donizetti's great work, turned to his relative dur­ing the first intermission and asked how he Itked the opera.

Oh, pretty fair.", said the visitor; "but is the whole blamed thing in I/aMn?"—Hartwr's.

Never clothe yourself In the armor of independence, but rather cultivate Mi'* good-will of your fellowmen. It will enable your own nature to sac-riilce on their behalf.—Loth.

Toil-Gate Keeper Thought He Had Visit from His Satanic Majesty.

This is not the only age in which motor cars have created excitement and disturbance. In 180U such appari­tions were few and far between; at present they are too ff»qftieptr to aU tract attention. Mr. Josejih Uatton, in "Old Lamps and New," tells of the fright caused by one of Trevithlck's steam locomotives, made to run on unnailed roads in the early part of the last century.

NMW and then one. gf these extraor­dinary vehicles would, be encountered, snorting and puffing on the highway. The countrymen regarded them as the evdl o._e in disguise*

One of the care, coining ' to a toll-gate, stopped for 4he gate t e be opened. The tol lman came hurrying out. He flung the gat© open with trembling hands, and teeth which chattered audibly.

The driver asked hini how much toll there was to pay.

"O, nothing, dear Mr. Satan, noth­ing!" hastily assured the man. "Go oh as fast as you like; there's nothing tp pay."—Youth's Companion.

DEEP CRACKS PROM ECZEMA

Could Lay Slate-Pencil In One—Handf in Dreadful State—Permanent

Cure in Cuticura. "I had eczema on my hands for

about seven years and during that time I had use^d several so-called rem­edies, together with physicians' and druggists' prescriptions. The disease was so bad oh my hands that t could lay a slate-pencil in one of the cracks and a rule placed across the hand would not touch the pencil 1 kept using remedy after remedy, and whfle some gave partial relief, none relieved a» much as did the first box of Cuti­cura Ointment. I made a purchase of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my hands were perfectly cured after two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap were used. W. H. Dean, Newark, Del., Mar. 28. 1907."

PUBLIC LAND OPENING. The 8tat« of Wyoming will shortly

throw open for settlement under the pro­visions of the Carey act of Congress <J45,-000 acres of irrigated government land in the Big Horn bsain. This affords an op­portunity to aeciire an irrigated farm at low cost and on easy payments. A report rnntatning; illustrations, maps, plats and full information has been published by the Irrigation Department, 406 Home In-auranee Building:. Chicago. Any one in-torn*o>d may obtain a free copy by ap­plying to tho department.

On the Judges. A celebrated Scottish lawyer had to

address the Caledonian equivalent of our supreme court. His "pleading" oc­cupied an entire day. After seven hours of almost continuous oratory he went home, at supper and was asked to conduct family worship. As he was exhausted his devotions were brief.

I am ashamed of ye," said the old mother. "To think ye could talk for soeveri hoors up at the court, and dis­miss your Maker in seeven minutes."

"Ay. verra true," was the reply, "but ye maun mind that the Lord isna sae dull in l.he uptak as thae judge bodies."

Druggis'.'s Generous Offer. "I am sorry tn disappoint, you," said

the old-time druggist To the suitor for his; daughter's hand. "I can't let you have Amy because I've promised her ' to ihe son of my partner, fiat I have five other daughters and gl?6 yem something just as good."

One of ih«uhi-at UUugtt^the farmer must Iea.ru is that bollb differ greatly us to the kinds and quuntititjo of the plant foods they contain. This aeema to be one of the hardeat things to impress upon the laiuitu1. Over and over agaiu the mistake is made of buying u fertilizer because It haa given good results when applied to certain faiim*. in tact many of the fertilizer aellera put out l i terature that hoi* for its base the testimonials of giowera showing how many potatoes were.gruwu, or how much of other thiugs were grown, as a result of the use of the fertilizer.

Soils differ so radically that it ia impossible to make a fertiliser mixture that will be suited to the production of a certain crop in all places. The ^supposition that such is possible is a delusion and a snare.

Every farmer should try to read the reports , of the investigations of soils, that he may be able to form a true conception ot the needs of his soil. To show how enormously soils differ we have but to journey to different parts of the stale of Illinois or to an.> state where a soil survey has been made and experiments undertaken. Go down into the Kankakee marshes that have beeu drained and brought into cultivation. They have soil so rich in nitrogen that it is a loss of time to put on nitrogenous fertilizers, and $40 of blood per acre gave no results. But a little potassium made the soil bring forth ten fold. Just the oppo­site may be found in another county where the laud lacks nitrogen and has enough potassium. There the applica­tion of potassium had no effect while a little blood accomplished wonders.

Many soils have both potassium and nitrogen, but lack phosphorus. This haa to be supplied before they will give returns of any consequence. As long as men buy fertilizers because they do well In some places, so long will they throw away a large part of their money.

Soils differ in different counties, and they differ sometimes on the same farm, says Farmers ' Review. Fre­quently one part of a farm is of one geological formation and another part of another geological formation. One may have been created a million years before the other was created One may be product of the grindings of thv glaciers, while another may be the re­sult of the slow action of water de­positing its silt little by little. One part of a man's farm may be rich in nitrogen, while another is s tar r ing for it. A man must know his land and what, is In it.

Clover for Swine. I prefer clover pasture for my

In order to reduce the lots in ma-/mre to a minimum, ami also to econo­mize in handling it, the general aim and practice nhould be to haul it di­rectly from the stable to the Held and spread it at once. On the average farm the following of this practice all through the yea)- would result in less loss than any method that, could be pursued.

Thf* use of_ rotted manure rather than fresh manure is desirable in con­nection with many market garden or vegetable crops, as it gives quicker results and with root, cvotfs will g i v a smoother and nicer product.

Ma lure should be spread as soon as i.1 is hauled to the field. The practice of putting it in p'iles is objectionable because .f the loss that i* likely to oc eur. The placing in idles also involves additional labor '• .

The manner (,f spreading Vil l ' de-pnnd upon local conditions, but where tbe distance to hr* ; is relatively shon and it is desired lo h a w -it evenly spread the manure spreader* will be loitnd serviceable machines.

From ten to twenty tons of manuiv per acre is usually considered a lair Hpplication; but couHidnably more is frequently applied for market gardeu <rops.

White Lead is the s tandard paint material all over the world. It is made by corroding metallic lead into a white powder, through exposing it to the fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonic acid gas; this powder is then ground and mixed with linseed oil, making a thick paste, in which form it Is packed and sold for painting purposes. The \ painter thins it down to the proper consistency for application by the ad­dition of more linseed oil.

The above refers, of course, to pure, genuine White Lead only. Adulterated and fake "White kead," of which there are many bcands on the market, is ; generally some sort of composition containing only a percentage of white lead; sometimes no White Lead at all; in such stuff, harytes or ground rock, chalk, and similar cheap aubstances are used to make bulk and imitate th«; appearance of pure White Lead.

There is, however, a positive tes t by which the purity or impurity of While Lead may be proved or exposed, be­fore painting with it.

The blow-pipe flame will reduce pure white lead to metallic lead. 11 a supposed white lead he thus tested and it only partially reduces to lead leaving a residue, it is proof that something else was there besides white lead.

The National Lead Company guar­antee all White Lead sold in packages beariug its "Dutch Bey Painter" trade mark to prove absolutely pure under this blow_-pipe test, and that you may make the tes t yourself In your own home, they will send free upon re­quest a blow-pipe and everything else-necessary to make the test, together with a valuable booklet on paint.

HAPPY OLD AGE

Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating.

As old age advances, we require less food to replace waste, and food that will not overtax the digestive organs, while supplying t rue nourishment.

Such an ideal food is found in Grape-Nnts, made of whole wheat and barley by long baking and action of diastase in the barley which changes ' the starch into sugar.

The phosphates also, placed up un­der the bran-coat of the wheat, are in­cluded in Crape-Nuts. but. left out of white flour. They are necessary to the building of brain and nerve cells.

It has come to be a well understood i fact that farmers, poultry men and ' dairymen do not take kindly to advice troni mere theorists. Quite naturally j they want to know that the advice given cornea from practical and suc­cessful men.

Experiments based on mere theories usually turn out costly failures, but when the same trouble that confronts yuu has been solved by another person and he offers to explain the secret of his success, it is greatly to your ad­vantage to learn what that man has to say.

More than thirty-six years ago when the Pra t t Food Co. of Philadelphia started on its way to success it began the collection of information pertaining to the raising of poultry and livestock, which contained not only flattering tes tinionials of the superiority of the Pratt preparations, but in which the writers gave their experiences in the treatment of the various diseases pe­culiar to poultry, horses, cows, hogs, sheep, etc. These experiences coupled with the scientific research and work of expert veterinarians gave to farm­ers and others interested in poultry und live stock the most complete and valuable series of books on the sev­eral subjects ever published. Each book is the work of an authority, supple mented by thirty-six years ' real expe­rience of people who have tackled the everyday problems.

The books tell everything that is knowable or discoverable about the diseases of poultry and all live stock and answer every question pertaining to their care and treatment. Ways and means for increasing the profits de­rived from poultry and live stock are given, and the reader who cannot ob­tain from every one of the books in­formation that can be turned into dol­lars will be hard to find.

There are five, hooks, .as follows. "Prat ts New Poultry Book," "Pratt New Horse Book." "Prat ts New Hog Book." "Prat ts New Cuttle Book" and "Prat ts New Sheep Book."

Originally these books sold for -.V each, but for one week any one of them will be sent tree of charge to anyone who will send a postal card icquest for the book desired, to the Pratt Food Co., Dept. R, Philadel­phia, Pa.

The Maghaya la bom in an arhar field and schooled to theft from his Infancy. He lives without shelter or food for the morrow, perpetually mov­ing from encampment to encampment, Chased by the police and execrated by the villagers. Ills greatest pride Is a successful burglary and a prolonged drinking bout his most coveted re­ward.

Jail offers no terrors to the dom. It is merely the result of being a bun­gler at his trade. The first attempt to reclaim the Maghaya doms in Cham-panin was made by Mr. (now Sir K.) Henry. He found the greater number of the adult members of the tribe were In jail. Every police officer was held responsible If any doms were found in his jurisdiction, with the result that aa soon as a dom was released from Jail he was usually returned thither nnder the bad livelihood sections.

Agricultural settlements were estab­lished for the tribe, but they do. not •Mm to have been very successful as civilizing agencies. The settlements serve as houses for the women and •JUldren, but the men are seldom found In them.

The females generally hawk stolen property in the villagee and act as spies.—Bengal Gasetteer.
