Renovating Poor Grass Land.

A larger amount of fertility is always
gained by sowing some leguminous
crop, such as SOFA beans, cowpeas, Can
ada peas or some of the clcyers, rather
than by sowing such catch crops as buck
wheat, rye, turnips, rape or similar
plants. Director Flagg of the Rhode
Island station calls attention in The
New England Homestead to the impor-
lance of farmers considering the ex-
pense OF seed and cost of seeding for a
catch crop to be plowed under He says:
Crimson clover may be sown at this

A New Jersey gardener has been ex-

persons in crowded lots in cities and
towns might produce vegetables for their
tables. AS reported in Home and Farm,
he dug hole IS inches square and a
foot deep, and into this put half bush
Ell Of manure and mixed in the top soil.
Here he planted a tomato plant in
bloom, spade full of dirt being taken
up with the plant. Then the soil from
the bottom of the hole was put in a
circular ridge about the plant, SO that
the plant stood in shallow earthen
cup, Into this cup kitchen slops were
poured daily. The vine was fastened to
a wall as 1t grew. This one plant grew
more than 100 feet Of vine, supplied
more tomatoes than the average garden,
and yielded an abundance of fruit two
months after tomatoes had disappeared
from surrounding gardens. He claims

COUNTEITERs ARRESTED
In Preston County, but One OF Them
Manages to Escape-The Affair Causes
n Sensation

TERRA ALTA, w. Va, Aug. 3D.
United States Detective Barker this
evening arrested Sanford Collins
and Jos. I. Sisler on charge OF
counterfciting. The arrest was made
at Dority, country town five miles
from here. Barker had trailed Col
Inns from Markeleysburg, Pa, and
when arrested he was in company
with Sisler.
Collins is the same man who a
few weeks ago shot his wife and a
man named Albert Raymond, at
Bruceton. Sisler until lately was a
highly respected citizen of this sec
ton, being engaged in the saw mill
ing business and contracting, but
during the last few months failed in
business.
Shortly after the arrest Sisler
managed to escape Detective Bar
ker said that he has no direct evil
dence against Sisler, but that he was
confident that he (Sisler) was in the
business with Collins. 1t is said
that the detective has with him the
tools and plating chat Collins used
in counterfeiting, but it could not
be learned what kind of money or of
what denomination Collins had coun-
forfeited. Barker left on train No
AZ this evening for Clarksburg with
Collins in charge. The affair has
created a sensation here.

AN OLD GAME
Worked on a Tyler County Far

Sistersrille Review.

Sisterssille Review.
An old game practiced by conf
dence men for years was worked to
perfection on an unsuspecting indi-
vidual, in which the man lost the
snug little sum of S95.
The losers name is Elias Wells
and his home is on a pretty farm
about two and one-half miles from
Wick.
According to his story, he came
to Sistersville to get his rental mon
ey, which was due him, and which
amounted to abont 900. He secured
the money at the Tyler County
Bank, and went from there to Whit
tlesey's tool shop. While there a
stranger approached him and intro
duced himself, asked Mr.. Wells if
he would deliver some advertising
matter among his neighbors, for
which Mr.. Wells should receive 800.
Being innocent of any fraudulent
tricks, Wells consented.
They proceeded, by suggestion of
the stranger to a house near the de
pot where the bills were to be Sc
cured.
Proceeding under the trestle and
starting down the street to the depot,
they were met by second stranger.
who asked them to change $1,000
bill.
The stranger could not do it, but
suggested that perhaps Wells could
do it.
Wells drew out roll of money
containing sos in bills,and had hard
Iy done so, when both men grabbed
the money, and pushing him back
wards started on run for the depot.
Wells was so confused for the mo
ment that he did not realize what
had been done. Recovering his
senses he started to the mayors Of
flee and soon the officers were after
the men. They have not been caught
nor even sighted. 1t is supposed
they took the excursion train to
Pittsburg and are getting away as
rapidly as possible.
Mr.. Wells went home on the after
noon train much wiser man al
though loser
In an interview with Wells he
stated that he recognized one of the
men as one he saw in the bank when
he secured the money. 1t is just
another case of slick individuals
watching the banks for just such
game.

A THREE FIELD ROTATION.
It Increases the Annual Yields and s,ecures
More Leisure Time.

ft Increases the Annual Yields and f,ecures
More Leisure Time
Notwithstanding the difference Of
opinion that exists in regard to the best
system of rotation where the staple
crops are wheat and corn, the fact re-
mains that the tine test Of any system
is i.s continued success. By the adop-
tion of the three field system, and not
overstocking the farm, the annual bills
for commercial fertilizers can be re-
duced to the minimum, provided only
enough stock is kept to consume and
convert into manure the crops raised,
excepting the surplus of grain, pork,
beef and wool sold off the farm. Thus
writes a contributor to The American
Agriculturist, authority for the follow
ing: Such rotation must include red
clever and intervals of rest from the
constant productions Of wheat and corn.
Begin it by dividing the tillable land
into three fields Of equal size and pro-
portion, and stock the tillable acreage
about as follows: For each 100 acres of
tillable land, 20 head of cattle, so sheep.
4 work horses and 20 hogs will be suffi-
cient.
The proper rotation is Segun by seed
ing field No. with wheat, to be fol-
lowed in the spring with seeding of
one bushel timothy and eight quarts
red clover to every eight acres. The clo-
yer should not be pastured the first year
of its growth, except for sufficient time
for the hogs to pick up the scattered
grain after harvest. The second year
field No. / may be pastured from and
after June !, but sufficient quantity
of that in which the most timothy APP
pears should be reserved for hay.
Where ono has good barn and sheds
extending back from each end, with
cave troughs to conduct away the water
that falls upon the roofs, level barn
yard having raised sides so that no liq-
uid manure can escape, and the straw
stacked in the center, large quantity
of manure can be made each year by
the LIST Of August from the straw and
refuse cornstalks. together with the
Groppings and urine of the animals kept
in the basement of the barn and those
in and about the yard.
Now, instead of breaking up the clover
sward in August, when heat and drought
prevail and the cost of the preparation
of the land for wheat crop is doubled,
adopt the following method: Begin in
August by applying ten four horse
loads Of manure to the aero ON the field
where most needed, making of each load

1t is the duty of every man to make
the most of himself. Whatever his ca
pacities may be, he is sure to find some
place where he can be useful to him
self and to Others. But he cannot
reach his highest usefulness without
good health and he cannot have good
health without pure blood. The blood
circulates to every organ and tissue
and when 1t is pure, rich and healthy
1t carries health to the entire system,
but II it is impure it scatters disease
wherever it flows. Hood's Sarsaparilla

How to tell that a dog is not mad il

How to tell that dog is not mad is
explained by"Our Animal Friends. A
mad dog never runs about in excite
ment; he never gallops; he is usu-
ually alone; and he joys along slowly.
When approached by man or dog he
snaps and goes on his way. A mad
dog never banks, yelps whines or
growls. The only sound mad dog
ever makes is hoarse howl, and that
seldom. A mad dog never froths at
the mouth. If dogs mouth is COW
cred with white foam he is not mad.
If there is brown mucous hanging to
his lips which he cannot dislodge that
is pretty good sign of madness. No
body ought to be permitted to own a
dog who will not take proper care Of
it, and if dog is properly cared for
he will not go mad.
