ever, have been discovered In New

fooled. Other arrests are expected to

We're told that they were for cigar~box
labels, but the suspicious of Cast Sc
Co. being aroused while the work was
in progress, they informed the United
States authorities here, and detectives
were set TO work on the case. Lucien
White, the man arrested here, saws
his former home was in Whitney,
Teas, but that he lived in Brazil a
number of years; that he returned to
Texas SIX months ago, and shortly
afterward was approached by man
named Lane, who preached the scheme
to hlm under the guise of cigar la
bells, and he went into it. He then
went to New York to have the printing
done, but failing in this, he went to
Chicago, where he again failed. He
then came here, with the above result.
He is an intelligent, well educated
man, and the detectives think Lane is
a myth and that White is the chief
mover in the scheme. The bogus notes
are said to be admirable limitations Of
Brazilian treasury notes and very
dangerous cOunterfeitS.

The American Cultivator believes In en-

recent issue: Every year seems to bring
additional evidence of the value OF the
silo, and if it has not yet fulfilled the
promise of its earlier advocates. and given
us milk for / cent quart, butter for 10
cents a pound. and beef at cents a

the cost of wintering our animals and
given many a farmer profit upon his
grass-farming where before he had to
figure closely to avoid loss. Experience
has also demonstrated that the costly silos
of stone and cement are not necessary for
the preservation of the fodder, which does

consider whether he may not devote a
part Of his barn or shed to slO suitable
for his needs, in which he can store his
fodder from his field corn. if he has not "a

Work the Stations.

While in most countries the stallion is
doomed to a state of enforced dleness, the
custom followed in France is to give the
male colt selected for breeding purposes
work enough to keep all his muscles well
developed If unworked the over fed
stallion will not develop the muscle in the
second thigh which is so common to the
draft geldng. and in a generation or two
it is not seen in the progeny. In the same
way other undeveloped qualities are di-
minished and his powers of propagation
are materially impaired. 1t follows then
that the stallion should be worked that he
should be well worked occasionally; and
for this purpose the chain harrow has
been recommended as being unsurpassed.
1t would be well for our farmers and
stockmen to put this to the test and they
will be repaid in the actual labor accruing
aud in securing better stock for draft pur-
noses
