Thirteen Yesr-Old Indiana Schoolboy
Throws Children Into frances.

English. Ind, March 1O.--Norman Osgood.
13-year-old pupil who is alleged to pos
sess mesmeric power to marked degree
and who is a ventriloquiSt of local renown.
is charged with having practically broken
up the Petrona schools, and an investiga-
ton is now in progress.
For the, last month Prof. Conkling of
the schools has been greatly troubled by
finding pupils from time to time in a
comatOse condition, from which it was
often difficult to arouse them. Sometimes
boy would be afflicted and sometimes a
girl. and the occurrences became fire.
quent that many of the parents became
apprehenSive for their childrenS lives and
withdrew them from school.
Yesterday one of the boys was found in
a coma tose condition, and examina ton
showed that his limbs were rigid. He was
grooming and seemed to be afflicted
with intense pains in his stomach. A
physician was called, but before he arriv-
ed the lad was restored.
When questioned as to the cause of his
condition the boy said he did not know
except that, Norman Osgood was look
ing at him" 1t was then discovered that
young Osgood had been the cause of ali
the cases in the school.
AS proof of the fact Prof. Conlxliney made
him experiment upon other pupils and
they were Immediately thrown into a com
atose state.

STORY WITH A LESSON.
How a Tramp's Policemen Was
Awakened by the Sight of q
Model Creamery.

I will relate an amusing incident I
saw happen in creamery 1 visited
short time ago, writes G. B. Lawson in
Creamery Journal. The creamery was
as clean and neat as any could be.
There was not a speck of dirt on the
floor or about any of the machinery.
The door opened and tramp came
in with muddy boots on. It was rainy
at the time. He made one step on the
inside and stopped, as soon as he saw
the condition of the room, looked at
his muddy feet, took off his hat and
apologized for coming in in such a
hurry with so much: mud on his feet.
If that creamery had been dirty and
grimy, as some are, that. tramp would
not have stopped at the door and apol-
ogized, but would have gone in and
gotten the buttermilk he wanted with
out looking at his feet. Brother But
termaker, do you keep your creamery
so clean that tramp will stop at the
door, take off his hat and offer an
apology for coming in? If not, try
it and see what difference it will have
on the looks of the place, and also on
the quality of the product made.

THE SPARROW HAWK.
Investigation Proves That the FARM
er Has No Better Friend Than
This Persecuted Bird.

In many sections the sparrow hawk
is recognized as true friend of the
farmer, though in others it is included
in the general warfare waged by farm
ers and sportsmen against. hawks of
all descriptions. The value of the spar.
row hawk lies in his; habit of feeding
on small rodents. He is rapacious
bird, and destroys great numbers of
these farm pests; also grasshoppers.
Farmers are slow to appreciate the
value of birds of prey. If one young
chicken is devoured by hawk year,
the whole race is condemned and no
account taken of the 500 mice and
young rats he may eat during that
period. Mr.. w. B. Hall, of Wakeman,
o., was county clerk while the Ohio
hawk law was in force, and he issued 46
bounty certificates for sparrow hawks.
He examined their stomachs and found
them all to contain the remains of
grasshoppers, beetles and meadow
mice; not one held any signs of chick.
ems. The Investigations Of the depart.
ment of agriculture are more con.
elusive yet, showing hundreds of mice
against every chicken.

FRESH DAIRY NOTES.

When milk is to be taken to the
creamery ~do>not- mix the milk of the
night and the morning even if it will
save the use of one can.
The milk COW must be kept clean;
the mixers must be clean at milking
time; and the vessels in which the milk
is put must be clean at all times.
Do not aerate the milk in the stable
Or in the lee of the stable. The air
in which the milk is aerated must be
pure, else the milk in being aeratcd
will suffer more harm than the aera-
ton will do good.
Milk for the creamery must be milk
in it's proper condition. The farmer
that has permitted his milk to get into
bad shape had better feed it to his
hogs or poultry than attempt to haul
it to the creamery where it will be
likely to spoil hundred other patches
of milk.-Farmers' Review.

Crescent Curculio Mark.

Wherever fruit is stung by the
curculio crescent-shaped mark is left
that gradually deadens the portion of
fruit inclosed, so that the sap will not
flow so freely. This deadening of the
fruit will extend to the stem and loosen
its hold. Inside this crescent mark the
curculio egg will be found. It used to
be supposed that the curculio could not
lay its eggs without making this mark.
It does not at least, but the two opera
tons are entirely separate. Instinct
teaches the ''little trick to deaden the
skin in order to stop the flow of Juices,
which might food and destroy the egg
she is about to lay. This deadening of
the skin causes the fruit to ripen pre-
raturely, so that when the egg matches
the worm has ripened instead of green
fruit to feed upon.
