FIGEL'S BOOKS.

Pointed Questions of Chief
Lees,

Surrounded by the books and papers OF
the firm OF Hoffman, Rothchild & Co., at
torney Ach was found yesterday. In the
following statement he preserved a calm,
though positive demeanor throughout,
and disclaimed having any theory of his
own. He was engaged in bringing cut the
facts and whatever they developed he
would willingly leave to the proper au-
thorities to consider.
Mr.. Ach first pointed out a stack OF
checks upon his desk, the general CASH
book, two petty cashbooks, the check
book and the bank deposit book, all be-
longing TO the firm of Hoffma n, Roth

cash book appears the entry OF $500 charged
10 the bank on deposit account The same
day on the back OF the stu OF the checkbook
appears the entry in ink OF $1,000 cash de-
posted in the bank.
Now, as a matter Of fact, he did not deposit
this money ou that day, nor as far as the
records go on any other day.
On May l Mr. FlgeI entered in the same
peJtv cash book IL pencu another deposit OF
$1535 80, which likewise appeared in ink on

On February % it appears that a check was
drawn payable 10 the /. p and A. Bank for

that amount on that day The bank records
show that no such payne MT was made between
February % and March 3, but on the latter
date Figel paid the bank $1,000. ani did so
with the 5000 check, just alluded to, 500 / n

GOOD GARDEN SOIL
1t Is One in which the Atmosphere
Can Circulate Freely.

IT Is One in Which the Atmosphere
Can Circulate Freely.
What is or what is not good garden
loil is often a great question. The Gus,
toner often complains to the nursery
men that, though he planted his trees
in the very best soil, yet he had little
success. Very few people seem to un-
ierstand that good soil is one in which
the atmosphere can freely circulate.
The earth must not allow the air to cir,
culate to such an extent as to lose its
moisture, but it must have an abund.
ance of small spaces which will contain
small quantities of air before plants
will thrive. We sometimes speak of "air
plants" but, in truth, all plants are air
plants, no matter whether growing on
rocks or trees or whether growing in
the earth. Air is of far more conse.
9uence to the roots than to the leaves
When, therefore, we have a stiff clay
earth to deal with, we make a good soil
by applying sand, or vegetable matter
which when it rots will leave small
spaces in which air may be collected.
1t is for the same reason that we crush
hard clods, for a hard clod has no air
spaces. When broken to pieces-pul.
verizing is the technical term-we
simply give the chance for atmospheric
air to spread throughout the whole
mass. For the same reason, what Is
known as a wet soil is n bad soil, be.
cause water drives out the air. There Is
no air in earth which is water-tight. II
has been noted that the use of a hole in
the bottom of a flower pot is rot SC
much to allow the escape of water as 4
is to permit fresher air to flow in tia
spaces of earth when the water leave,
It. In the language of gardening, q
good soil is n which is perfectly
taerated."-Meehan's Monthly.

CURING KICKING COWS.
An Ounce of Kindness IL Worth O
Pound of Pounding.


Much of the trouble caused by kick
ing cows is caused by bad management
IN the part of the mixer. In Jul eSpe-
fence :here is not one cow in n dozen
out which, if kindly treated, will soon
dispense with the habit of kicking with
,ut severe measures beirg necessary.
It pays to be gentle and quiet in hand
ing the cows. and to let them know that
you are their friend and will not harm
them. They will soon learn to respect
Tou If you will treat them kindly. II
s oil well enough for a COW to know and
understand hat the one who does the
milking is the business manager" but
kick for the good reason that the milk
ing process hurts them, says a writer in
the National Stockman. There r also
occasionally COWS that kick from pure
meanness. However, these make eX-
cellent beef.
The gentle Jerseys are fast taking the
place of other breeds on the farm, and
the ones we have T real pets, as gen
tie, quiet and well behaved as need be.
We never have any trouble in milking
them, but often milk them for the first
time in the yard, without even fasten-
ing them, though we are well aware
that the Jersey has plenty of mettle,
any amount of it, when conditions are
favorable for it's development. Let the
dog chase the COWS to and from the pas
ture, and this mettle will soon be ap-
parent, as will be the decrease in the
yield of milk.
There is another item in regard to
breaking COWS to lead. A cow that is
kindly treated can usually be caughtin
the pasture by placing your arm about
her neck. If caught in this way they
will seldom make any effort to get
away. Place a five-ring halter on the
COW, as this does not hurt like a rope
around the horns or the neck, and most
COWS will lead easily with a five-ring
halter. A good motto for dairymen to
put in their hats is this: An ounce OF
kindness is worth a pound of pounding.

1t Counts as Much ms Money In the
Improvement of Roads.
The farmer should be particularly in.
terested in having good roads, first be-
cause he is usually taxed heavily to
maintain them-as real estate cannot
escape taxation-and secondly for the
reason mat he has occasion to use them
to a greater or less extent in the prose-
cution of his business. And the last
may often outweigh the first in dollars
and cents, when is taken into con-
sideration the moving of heavy loads
for a considerable distance over poor
roads.
Here is a view of the cast that should
not be lost sight of. 1t is not those
alone who drive for pleasure or bust
less over our highways that should ask
for or demand their improved condi-
ton. This is for their interest and
convenience, it is true, and rightly too
