The FARM:
Interesting and Useful Hints.

Something more than putting away
he seed is necessary IL good crops are
expected next year. The seed potatoes
md the seed corn should be selected
md placed In some location separate
rom that intended for sale. 1t is by
;areful selection that the quality is ini-
,roved. Many diseases of plants might
% avoided by selecting only the healthy
ubers and grains for seed, and reject
ng all that in the least name give
Indications Of being affected by dry rot
Or rust. Keep the seed corn in a dry
place and the potatoes In a COO bin.
A COW may be worth 500 or she may
20 worth only $50. but the low priced
,ow may be the more costly. IL a choice
.rt Gle Of butter or large yield of milk
8 secured from the 500 COW, 1T will be
greater in extent and proportionately,
compared with the cheaper animal. As
! dairyman expresses IL, II a 500 COW
rives $50 profit in n year, a $50 COW
will give only $40 profit, or perhaps
lothing.
A pound Of butter per week for each
low may make the difference between
profit or loss. This difference depends
On tho kind OF COW. 1t pays TO use
only the best. II your cows are not up
20 the required standard, grade up the
herd with the use Of thoroughbred
males. Never allow a scrub bull on
he farm, even If the scrub COW is given
I place.
A farmer should endeavor to grow
everything possible for home use on
.he farm. 1t may not always be
cheaper to grow some kinds OF fruits
md vegetables than to buy them; bat
when grown at home they will be fresh
md of better quality, which is a very
important matter.
Stables should be cleaned daily, and
the bedding carefully removed, as it Is
an absorbant OF the liquids, the reten
ton of which results in the Liberation
Of ammonia in the stalls. Clean floors
with clean bedding daily; promote the
comfort and thrift of the stock.

Discovery Of Anthracite.

Ihe proposition TO erect a monu-
ment to Philip Ginder. who discovered
anthracite coal on Summit hill. Car
bon county. IN 1901. has given rise to
n number Of claims for the honor Of
discovering coal in Pennsylvania. The
Wyoming valley people claim that au-
thracite was known in that section of
the state as early as 1856. There is a
tradition that hard coal was burned in
the Valley Forge about the time OF the
French and Indian var Neverthe-
less the Mauch Chunk promoters OF
the Ginder celebration refuse to be
turned aside from their plans. They
point with pride TO the fact that the
Lehigh Valley Coal-Miuiug company
began practicing mining in Carbon
county In 1892. in immediate conse-
quence of Ginder's discovery, and it
was only then that the possible inn
portance of coal as q fuel began to be
appreciated. They claim. therefore.
that Gindcr is entitled to a monument.
and they propose that he shall havs
one. on the just grounds that the dis
covery Of anthracite is not the indi-
vidual who knew that the ground con-
tanned black stones without knowing
their use. but he whose discovery led
to the use of coal rs fuel.
Ginder seems to be rs much deserv-
ing of the honor of being called the
discoverer Of anthracite coal in Penn
sylvania as Fulton is Of being called
the inventor OF a steamboat. or Isaac
Newton the discoverer of difrerential
calculus. or Robert Raikes the founder
of Sunday-schools.

Two Bogus Lords Meet.

Toronto En- y
A peculiar incident took place on
Sunday last. A man came up from
New York and gained permission to see
Birchall, who was at the time in the
yard. The stranger gszed at the pris-
oner long and earnestly, taking note Of
every movement and everything about
him. When his keen observation was
got through with he turned away with
the remark: "Pshaw, he is only a shop
keeper anyway cad" This visitor
was the man arrested in Philadelphia
some years ago for fraud and swindliug,
carried out under the name Of Lord
Somerset, which name he had assumed,
and with which title he gained access TO
the best society in the city. AT the
present time he Is in New York running
a society paper, and ne came up 10
Woodstock for the sole purpose OF see
ing the other bogus Lord Somerset,
who had got into worse trouble through
his lying than he did. 1t is a strange
thing that there is a likeness between
the two men,

Z The Tomb or Eve.

The Arabs claim that Ewes tomb IL
at Jiddan, the seaport OF Meccs. The
temple. with a palm growing out OF the
solid stone roof Ia curiosity which OF
itself is the wonder of the Orient), is
supposed TO mark the last resting place
OF the first woman. According to
Arabian tradition Eve measured over
200 feet in height which strangely
comedies with an account Of our first
parents written by a member OF the
French Academy of Sciences, a few
years ago, who also claimed a height of
over 600 feet for both OF the tenants Of
the Garden of Eden. Ewes tomb, which
Is in a graveyard surrounded with high
white walls, and which have not been
opened for a single interment in over a
thousand years, is the shrine OF
thousands Of devoted ~Ishmaelites
who make a pilgrimage TO the spot
once every seven years. 1t Is bemmed
in on all sides by the tombs of departed
shelks and other worthless, who have
lived out their days in that region OF
scorching sun and burning sands. Once
each year, on June 3, which Is accord
ing to Arabian legends, the anniversary
| Of the death Of Abel, the doors OF the
temple which forms a canapy over this
supposed tomb Of our first mother re-
main open all night In spite Of the
keepers efforts TO close them. Tsrrible
cries of anguish ure said to emit from
them, as though the memory OF the first
known tragedy still haunted the re-
mains which blind superstition believes
to be deposited there.
