rather peculiar form, large, formida-
BILE, with bridge running straight out
from the forehead and a broad base.
1t is a nose which, according to the tes-
timony of one man, is so different in
architecture from all other noses that
it could not possibly be mistaken, and
could readily be picked out in a crowd.
This nose, inexorable as fate, has fol-
lowed along the male line of the Kipp
people. Nature gallantly forebears to
inaict it up the female Kipps, whose
features are more like those of their
mothers. While George has the Kipp
nose in all its grand proportions, Net
ties nose has pretty turn. 1t was thus
that the Kipp nose became prominent
in this case.
Though other features of James
Brown Kipp could not be remembered
or traced, the Kipp nose could be traced.
Very old residents of Saugerties remem-
bered that Jim" Kipp, when a boy,
had Kipp nose. Californians remem-
bered this striking feature. 1t did not
require magnifying glass to see a Kipp
nose on his photograph. George Kipp
was a living illustration. When he tes-
tilted as a witness, it became easy to
compare his usual organ with that
of William Kipp, whom he claimed as
his uncle. Experts could detect the
salient points.
William Kipp did not intend to let
in this evidence without a vigorous pro-
test. His lawyers argued that to es-
tablish such precedent would be ex-
ceedingly dangerous, NoseD oftentimes
resembled each other, though the par
ties had not a drop of blood within the
ninth degree. 1t was urged that skill
full surgeons could even graft on q
nose on mans face and mold 1t after
almost any pattern. Strange to relate,
counsel for the California people in
advertently strengthened this state
ment. Noting that one of William
Kipp's counsel had a very large nose,
with one or two angles in it, he called
the attention of the court TO that fact,
saying:
"Your honor, here is an object les
son. Can it be doubted that a nose
like that of my brother member of the
bar, transmitted to posterity, would
not be recognized as feature of his
family"
BLESS your SOUL" shouted the law
yer with the nose. "The peculiar struc-
ture of my nose is due purely to the
effect of blow from green apple
thrown by boy when 1 went to school
Before that it was very respectable
nose"
What the outcome of this lawsuit
will be is not even shadowed, but popu'
lar sympathy is with the man with the
Kipp nose and his sister.

ONE THEORY
Which Seems to Be Tenable and to
Which Many Investigators
Hold Fast.

The circum stances point to the threory
that Molly DePeyster came TO her death
by being struck on the head by lighted
lamp, hurled at her by her drink-crazed
husband, the burning oil pouring over
her In torrents, envelopiDg her in q
mantle of fire.
The can of oil with its cap removed,
and the great quantity OF oil found upon
the floor and upon the walls of the
kitchen, lead to the belief that after the
flsndish assault had teen made with the
lighted lamp, the man seized the oil can
and with hellish accuracy hurled oil from
its open mouth onto the already burning
woman, who in her efforts to escape from
the infuriated man, ran from the room,
thus giving draft to the fire which mer-
cilessly consumed her and left her black
ended, bleeding thing at which the dogs
poksd their cruel noses and from which
men turned In shudderlnR horror.
The deed is the most lsyoltipg one re-
corded In ths annals Of the city's long
list of crimes, and the consequences are
not to be foretold.

KIPP NOSE In COURT.
A, Fortune Rests on the Nasal Or
gan Of q Litigant
George Kipp, q Man from California
IL Trying to Prove His Claim TO
q New York Estate by
His Proboscis.

A unique feature, the "Kipp nose"
has been introduced into the litigation
regarding the heirship to the valuable
Andrew Kipp estate of Saugerties, N.
Y. When Andrew Kipp died without
having made will, his brother Will
liam supposed that he was the only heir,
but by and by two Californians, George
Kipp and Nettie Kpp appeared before
the surrogate and claimed that they
were children of James Brown Kipp, a
dead brother of Andrew, and that
therefore one-haf of the estate be-
longed to them. William refused to
recognize them as relatives, and said
that they would have to make their
claim good by solid legal evidence be-
fore he would agree to give then
penny.
"That we can readily do" they re-
Piled, because pa told us many and
many time that he was from SAUCER
ties, New York state, and that you and
Andrew were his brothers"
When their lawyer informed them
that personal communications with q
deceased person by one pecuniauily in
terested were not legal evidence, they
were greatly troubled how to prove that
the james Brown Kipp, their father,
was a brother of the Saugerties Kipp
who left the fortune, because James
Brown Kipp ran away from home when
boy to seek his fortune, and died in
California, an old man, without ever
having returned to New York state, or
seen any person who could identify him
as q member of the Saugerties Kipps.
A happy thought, the Kipp nose, says
the New York Sun, gave them q ray of
hope. Said George: II will establish
my identity by the Kipp nose, and then
the identity of my sister will follow as
a matter of course" To explain re-
garding the Kipp nose, it is q nose of

An oak tree was cut down at Baraboo,
Wis. recently, the trunk of which had
nearly 400 rings, which, according to

career Ave years after Columbus first

A HORRIBLE SIGHT.
AS the policemen entered the space
wherein lay the smoulderipg mass Of hu-
man flesh, two huge dogs were tapping
the hot, odorant flesh with eager tongues.
The gruesome sight filed the policemen
with dismay. The beasts snarled and
snapped at the bluecoats as their great
red tongues licked up the exudiDg blood
from flre-made wounds. The dogs were
with difficulty driven away from their
fearful meal. The body was then covered
from sight until the arrival of Coroner
MCQuate, who had it removed to Sbill-
ing's morgue.
The officers searched the house, and in
the kitchen found broken lamp. Pieces

Fighting the San Jose Scale.

One of the worst pests of the Cali
fornia orchardist, writes John Isaac.
in the American Agriculturist, and
one which is getting a foothold in some
of the eastern states, where 1t was in
troduced from California, is the San
Jose scale (Aspidiotus perniciosus).
This was first introduced into Cali
fornia some % years ago on an i'm
portation of plants from Chill, and
spread with such rapidity in its new
home that in a few years it had COW
cred the greater part of the state and
proved a very costly and stubborn pest
TO handle The scale is very small,
less than tenth of an inch in diam
eter. gray in color, and is hardly dis
tinguishable from the bark of the tree
on which it is found. Under the scale
is the body of the insect scraper,
which is very minute, circular and
vellowish in color 1t infests all parts
of the tree upon which it finds lodge
ment, trunks, limbs. twigs, leaves and
fruit and renders the latter unfit for
use Altogether, 1t has been the worst
insect pest of the California fruit
growers.
1t is now, however, disappearing in
some districts, and decreasing in all,
due TO two causes-persistent spraying
and the work of a parasitic fly Years
of costly experiments in fighting this
pest resulted in the discovery of the
salt sulphur and lime wash, which is
now generally ueed all over California
during the winter months on the San
Jose and all other scale insects on de-
ciduous trees. The formula generally
followed for the preparation of this
wash is as follows: Put 10 pounds of
lime and 20 pounds of sulphur in
boiler with 20 gallons of water; boil
over brisk fire for at least an hour
and a half, or until the sulphur is
completely absorbed, when the mixture
will be of an amber color In another
vessel put 80 pounds of unslacked lime
and pour over it enough hot water to
thoroughly Stake it. While it is boil
ing add Is pounds of common salt.
When the salt is dissolved, pour into
the boiler with the lime and sulphur,
and boil for another half hour; then
add sufficient water to make 90 gal
Ions. This must be used only when
the frees are dormant, or it will de-
stroy their foliage. 1t should be ap-
piled after pruning, and all prunings
should be burned. If properly used,
this wash will be found effective
against scale insects on deciduous
trees, and is valuable as a preventive
of fungus diseases, as cure leaf in
peaches, shothole fungus in apricots,
and is also useful for apple scab and
pear blight.

Value of Green Bone For Poultry.

Thousands of poultrymen are IN
creasing their profits by the judicious
feeding of this wonderful food. The
hone cutter puts this valuable poultry
food in shape for use by the fowls
A reader of the Massachusetts,
Ploughman says: Il want to add my
testimony in favor of green cut bone.
I shall only try to give some of the
established facts obtained by eXpe-
rience Fresh bone, meat and gristle
when fed to your poultry Will often
double the number of eggs. Fresh bones
will increase the vigor of the whole
flock. they will also make more eggs
fertile.
1t has been proven by some of the
foremost poultrymen that fresh bones
cut and given to poultry will stop egg
eating, because it satisfies the craving
of the flock for blood and fresh lean
meat, both of which are supplied by
fresh bone.
Another reason for their use is. that
the bones are easily obtained and are
very cheap, and when cut by good
machine you will find no other food
that your flock likes as well. You can
convince any one doubling this last
statement by placing all your differenet
kinds of food along with this cut bone
and meat, and opening the doors of the
pens. One trial will be sufficient to
convince the most skeptical. The raw
bone and meat is devoured at once,
and although one ounce per hen for
each day may be considered sufficient,
many give their f1ocls more than this,
and no disastrous results follow.
We firmly believe no one having
properly used green bone food has or
intends to discontinue its use. This
may partially explain the fact that
there are a larger number of poultry
yards through the country than for
merly. This improvement in feeding
makes the poultry business more lu-
crative. Would it not be well for all
those interested in poultry raising to
give close attention to the most i'm
portant methods of feeding their fiocks,
and in this way make a complete sue
cess of the business?
Cut green bone must not be con-
founded with bone meal made by
crushing dry bones. Green bone is
much more valuable than bone meal.

Canadian Experiment Stations.

The Ontario Agricultural and Exper-
iment union is a Canadian association
which aims to secure cooperation be-
tween the Ontario agricultural college
and the leading farmers of the prov
ince. Cooperative experiment work is
a leading feature of this union. In
1886 it secured the interest of u farm
ers who were ready to give a part of
their farms for experimenting. This
year there were 1920 experiments.
with over 1000 plots of ground in
cultivation. These plots were scat
tered all over the province, and en-
braced all sorts of soil. 1t is easy to
see how valuable fertilizer or variety
test will be when one may compare
the averages of 500 or more trials in a
single season. Similar cooperative
work is done in live stock, horticulture,
dairying, etc. Each year a meeting is
held at the agricultural college for a
general review of the seasons work
The meeting this year will be held on
Dec. II and II. This plan of cooper
alive work is an excellent one. 1t
brings farmers closer to the college
and widens the scope of every expert
ment, for an average of 100 expert
ments is always more reliable than a
single one. There ought to be a SINH
lar union in every state in this coun-
