Hens I'm the Orchard.

Speaking Of keeping hens in orchards,
the Poultry aoorzd says: "Last fall we
visited an orchard in which fowls were
kept, the owner of which told us that be-
fore the fowls were confined in it the trees
made lite or no growth, and a correspond-
mig amount OF fruit was obtained. But what
a change was evident now The grass
was kept down, the weeds were killed,
and the trees presented an appearance Of
thrift, which the most enthusiastic hor-
ticulturist could not but admire and envy.
The growth of the trees was most yigor-
Gus and the foliage remarkably luxuriant
The fruit was abundant, of large size,
and free from worms and other imper-
fectlons. This excellence was accounted
tor by the proprietor, who remarked that
the, hens ate all the worms and curculio
in their reach, even the canker. worm.''

A Female Diver.

"A reporter introduced himself to a
pleasant faced, sun-browned lady, who
in her unassuming personality represents
The only female rival to Boyton, Sydney
Cook, and other famous professional
divers of the century, and was gratihed
to hear that Mrs. Conradine would detail
her strange experiences with pleasure.
Originally stewardess of steamship, on
board of which her husband served as
head waiter she had gone with him to
Mexico upon bis entering the service of a
pearl-fshing company as diver. Watch
ing her husband and his mates at their
labors, her first experiment was made
in shallow water, and she came up bleed
ing at the nostrils, mouth and ears, and
tainted upon reaching the surface.
Nothing daunted, she tried it again and
again, until she found herself able to re-
main under water as long as any of the

ing tube, and his widow succeeded to the
vacancy: Physically her sex proved no
h:ndrance, but the people at the fisheries
were 10th to employ her, and she would
have had to give up her strange calling
but for a Captain Hartly, who gave her a
job On the schooner Gaviota, a vessel car
rying Struggled silver, which had sunk
on sa"dbank, eighteen miles from the
shore, in seventy-fve feet Of water The
adventurous woman found her task so un.
pleasant that she was inclined to relin-
quish it after once going down; but nettled
by the way the men sneered at her on
account OF her sex, she persevered un-
til the last cask of dollars was brought
up. 50 $50
That she held out to the end saws much
for Mrs. Conradine:s courage. One day,
Pablo Vas4uez, a frst-rate diver, went
down to put a torpedo in position to:blow
up the schooner's deck. Before he had
come up again, the man in charge of the
battery exploded the torpedo, and Pablo
was killed.
On another occasion she was down at
the bottom when the Mexicans attacked
the Americans, and the man in charge of
the air-pump had to leave his post to
defend himself. OF course there was a
sudden stoppage Of the air supply. She
felt a frightful sense of ,oppression5a at the

SPY Georgeg'

A century ago the authorities OF New
England town hit upon an ingenious ex-
pedien: for disposing Of their widows
who were tax upon the town. It start
ed pauper traffic by selling the poor an
nually, at vendue, and il. continued this
business during many years. In Jan
uary, 1776, the Widow Lowell was added
to the auual list, and at a vendue I" the
said Widow Lowell was struck off to ,Jo-
siah Stevens for to keep one year for the
sum of nine pounds six shillings, and if
she did not live the year, he to have in
in that proportion" The Widow Lovell'
disposition was very migratory. Al
though sold and bought for years ser
vice, the buyer seems to have. considered
her bad bargain, literally, for in a few
months Joshua Briggs had her in his
house. and also had bill of fourteen
~.ounds against the town for keeping and
clothing her. She became an expensive
property to the town. After considerable
knocking about, she finally died, and was
buried at the towns expense. But one
OF these widows, Jane George by name
seemed determined not to die, but lived
on until she outlived all who had been
her contemporaries. Through nearly two
generations the standing inquiry among
farmers was 81 Who's going to buy
George9" aItpassed into a saying, and
thus By George!" became the town ex
pletive. In 1906 she was sold for a sum
equal to about ten pounds. She began
to be one Of the towns poor in 1859, and
was set up on sale for the last time in
1903. The town was pleased with the
business, and persistently voted not to
build poor-house on every occasion
when It was proposed. The widows
gradually increased in number, and thew
were sold to the lowest bidder, every
year, without any expression Of senti-.
ment.

is a strange fallin poetry to hear these
caressing and passionate strains, which

gallant men and lovely women, coarsely
screamed beneath the balcony BY some
ragged robin who would rather die in the

wanders about twanging his mandolin

Rust Ii, Wheat.

Rust is fungus that is propagated by
spores that are always present in the air,
and that as soon as they find suitable
home, terminate and send forth millions
Of other spores. They are not more pre-
valent in the air in wet than in dry season,
but it is in the wet seasons that The most
damage is done to the winter wheat.
When wheat plants are in perfectly
healthy state they ale proof against the
attacks of rust, f1inty coating Of the stem
presenting no resting place for the fungus.
But when the plants are weakened through
being grown on land that has been. over
cropped, or over MANFRED, or through seed
of some worn out variety being sown,
they become ready prey to the rust, "A
shower passing over the crop on warm
day will leave it in jSst such conditions
that the rust spores can attach themselves
and thrive. g 4fT

The reaction in favor of farming, as
against ventures in city life and nlercan,
tile BUSINESS, is becoming 50 marked as to
attract attention from the press all over
the country. The overhowing cities with
their starving thousands and dbe appall-
ing list of business failures begin to
teach young men (and old ones also) that
it is safer to invest in a small farm which
will surely bring subsistence even il

and happiness are concerned the bal

Journal: Great changes have been made
IN the methods OF farming. 1t is no long
er life of drudgery, and it has been
demonstrated ina thousand OF instances
that high intelligence and rare jud gment
have produced no more satisfactory or
real results than when employed in New

son to believe the movement has begun
which in ten or twenty years will restore
to the agricultural portions Of New Eng
land nearly as large population as they
maintained before the era of manufac-
turing enterprise, with greater prosper
ty. 1t may not be amiss in this connec-
ton to suggest to boards of agriculture
in New England that they could do their

information of the location and value OF

Painting a Picture In Six Minutes

A private letter received from an
American gentleman in Paris gives an
amusing account Of picture pa inted in
six minutes. Says the letter;
We were at the Cafe Chantant the
other night. It is5a building somewhat
larger than the Corcoran Gallery of Art.
3 It is a great place for music, songs and
dances. There was one very amusing
feature. During one of the entr' acts
they brought on an artist who was billed
to paint marine view in six minutes all
finished tor anging Ghe picture, not the
artist) D.
& The canvass was brought on.
Out came the artist, quiet, nervous
looking young man Of about thirty years
of age. -'
His colors were all en- the palette, and
bis brushes were in his hand.
"Attention!' sang out the director.
The artist seized large brush.
B At signal the orchestral band struck
up a clashing, maddeningly nervous
waltz.
AS the first note was struck the artist
dashed mass of yellow upon the upper
part of the canvas. Then bit of blue,
then, white, dash of purple shadow, and
then, with a quick twirl Of clean brush,
a dark blue sea is dashed in against the
horizon.
Two minutes gone.
The waltz goes on faster and faster.
The brush keeps time. A huge rock is
Fsketched in with burnt sienna and black.
A light house with avermilion range light
is dropped upon the top Of the rock.
Clash, crash, one, two, three, a boat I'M
der full sail is thrown into the dim dis
lance. Clash, crash, one, two, three, and
another boat is dashed in. Light upon
the waters is thrown in with free,
steady hand. A huge brush then care
fully blends the edges of the masses, snd
with a profound DOW, the artist turns to
a cheering audience, graft ed that he is
through en- time. 20, 81 i..
And the wonder is that the picture is
startling good in its broad effect 1t is
strong and clear. The colors are good,
and not muddy mixed. 1t was as good
a novelty as ever saw at any show, and
it beats all how it amuses thes French
people.

Guilty of Murder on Gen
eral Principles.

YANKToN, D. T., November %
"A most remarkable verdict was
brought in last night in the Ter
ritorial Court in the case of
Carl Hanson, charged with the
murder Of his father in June.
There was not particle of pos
tive testimony, and the circum-
stautial evidence was con fined to
the boys residence with his father
when their house was burned and
the father killed. The fact that
an ak, without any spots of blood,
was found near the house, and the
fathers skull was fractured, the
sons explanation was that he on
ly had time to escape after the
house was discovered on fire, and
the roof fell in just after he struck
the ground, burying the old man
in several tons OF debris, yet the
jury found him guilty Of murder
in the first degree upon general.

Exhibitor Obsearer-Our lit
tie town is now agitated by one
Of the most cold-bIooded and
unprovoked murders that black
ems the pages Of tie criminal
history of the country, having
been committed six miles west
of here yesterday about dusk.
As it may be Of some interest
to your readers | send the facts
as | heard them.
Frank Turner, desperate q
years old, is the son of a man
who was once we'll off III what
it takes to constitute worldly
happiness, but Franks lawless-
ness has proved such a heavy
drain on the patcrnal purse that
now, financially speaking, the
old man has been reduced 10 the
common herd.
Turner went TO the house of
a respected farmer named SAM
mel Judd, a husband and the IA
Their of three children, and call
ell him out OF the house. 1t is
well enough to state in this cor
nection that some time previous
Judd slapped young brother
of Turner in the face. Turner
regarded it as personal insult
which could only be washed a.
way with blood. After calling
Judd out, Turner drew a pistol
and ordered him to kneel, at the
same time demanding an apol-
ogy. Judd, knowing the despe-
ration Of the man with whom
he had to deal, thought it best
to comply, and was offering his
apology when Turner drew a
knife and sticking it in his neck,
cut the jugular vein and draw
ing il around nearly severed tie
head from the body. Judd
staggered few steps in the di-
rection of the house ard fell
down dead.
Turner has been arrested and
has good prospect of meeting
summary justice at the hands
Of Judge Lynch.
This is the third man that
Turner mas killed, besides be-
ing an accessory 10 several 9TH
er murders.
