AN AGED MAN AND AN OLD WOMAN AR
RESTED FOR DEMANDING MONEY
FROM THE CONTROLLER.

Two cranks made demands for money from

little, old white haired man. who has an
noyed Controller Coler at his home No. pa

ry claim for $4,000 several occasions
was arrested in the morning. When taken
to the Gates-ave. police station it was so
evident that he harmless individual
that the sergeant discharged him after a warn
ing 1t was not even considered necessary to
take the old mans name. the Controller did
not to make any complaint against him.
1t was about three months ago, in the evening,
when the old man first went to the Controllers S
house He dressed shabbily and seemed to
be feeble. When the Controller summoned
his aged visitor explained that he had recently
been discharged from hospital, and that while
there he had been robbed of check for $4,000.
1t seemed to him that the city should make this
amount good, and he called on the Controller for
reimbursement The Controller rather
amused and finally got rid of his visitor by tell
ing him to call at his office in Manhattan. Pre-
cautions taken to that the money
seeker should not get into the Controllers pri-
vate office if he should take his claim there.
1t seemed, however. that the queer little old
man preferred to press his claim at Mr.. Coler's
home and several times he caused the Con-
troer considerable annoyance by his visits. Yes
terday he appeared about breakfast time, ana
was more insistent than The Con-
troler told him sharply that he could not
be bothered. When it that the
old man was waiting at Hancock-st. and
Nostrand- ave, Brooklyn, evidently for the
purpose of intercepting the Controller Police
Headquarters notified. policeman was
sent around, who took the old man to the Gates
ave. station.
The other was that of woman, who
is described as about sixty years old, stout
and gray haired She called at the Depart
ment of Finance about noon, while the Controller
was out. She demanded S2,OO0,000. The Off
GERS and attendants would not let her enter
Then she said she must have $1,000. because il
she did not get it her folks at home would kill
her.
The police were called in, and by promising
the woman that they would give her the money
succeeded in getting her to the Tombs. There
1t is said, she made frantic efforts to get away
but was finally locked up.

LATEST THING IN BEES.
Everybody IS Now Trying to Produce
N Race of Insects with Very
Long Tongues.

The latest fad in bees is strain with
tar from the deep tubes of the red
clover blossoms. Beekeepers have for
long time coveted the honey in the
red clover blossoms, and the Italian
bees when introduced into this coun-
try were supposed to be able TO reach
it, and the job was placed in their
hands. But after lapse of time it
was discovered that but small per
cent. of them did any work on red clo-
yer blossoms.
OF late the fact has been developed
that some bees have longer tongues
than others. Various ingenious con-
tr4vances have been made to get the eX-
act measurements of the bees tongues,
and it has been found that they vary
in length all the way from 15-100 to
20-100 of an inch, the last-named be-
ing very rare. If l am not mistaken,
few, perhaps, have exceeded this. 1t
seems that the required length is
| about 25-100.
Every beekeeper of note is now
busy improving his stock along this
line, and II you were to pick up bee
journal of the present you would find in
most of the advertisements of queen
! breeders the announcement of the
tongue length of the breeding stock.
Everybody is confident that it will re-
quire but little time and patience to
add length to the tongues of all bees,
| for there has been so much attained
in breeding bees in other ways that
this does not seem Impossible. 1t is
well known that the common red clo-
yer is perhaps the heaviest nectar pro-
| ducing plant known, and honey from
it is of fine quality. The value will not
altogether lie in the honey crop, but
the complete fertilization of the bloom
will add greatly to the seed crop, thus
| benefiting the farmer.-A. ii. Duff. in
| Kansas Farmer.

RENEWING PASTURES.
II Ii Hard Work, Hut Pays quite as
Wen as Labor Expended on
titled Crops.

The severe drought has been hard on
pastures, both on account of lack OF
moisture and on account of overstock-
ing. The sod is killed out in places. and
weeds will come in. A great deal of our
natural pasture-land should not be
broken except when a new seeding be-
comes absolutely necessary, and the
lifetime of these pastures could be
prolonged by some attention right
now. The best way to control weeds
is to crowd them out, and there is no
better plant than timothy 20 do this
with until better pasture-grasses can
get a new foothoid. In September. no
matter if the weather is dry. grain
drill, with sharp hoes, should be run
over al thin patches in the pasture,
distributing one-fourth to one-third of
n bushel of timothy-seed an acre in
connection with 200 pounds an acre of
high-grade acid phosphate. The drill
hoes will cut the thin sod so that some
of the seed will find fresh soil for start
| ing when the fall rains come, and the
| trash of the old sod will furnish some
winter protection to the new plants.
If some stable manure can be spared
for light top-dressing ii will pay well
in making sod that will choke out the
weeds. We expect too much of our
| pastures, and help them too little. If
the bare spots were given some seed
in bad years. and some fertilizers were
added after light scratching of the
surface, weeds would be kept under
better control, more grass would be
| gotten, and the breaking-plow need
not be used so frequently on land that
needs the protection of sod all the
| time. If we would look upon pasture
grasses as crop, and give them atten-
tion when most needed, our labor
would be rewarded fully as well as it
is when applied to most titled crops

Information Worth Having.

The United States government dis
tributes nearly $1,250,00O yearly
among agricultural colleges. This
money is 10 help meet the heavy ex-
pense necessary to secure the best
specialists in all forms of agriculture
and for the dissemination of the in
formation gathered in their expert
mental work. Much of this informal
tion is published in the papers in the
form of bulletins, and despite this fact
you will find farmers who sneeringly
refer to this class of literature as
"book farming" Specialists in agri-
cultural experiment stations are
usually men who have been successful
in the lines they represent and are
eminently qualified to teach the re-
calcitrants who condemn "book farm
ing."-Drovers' Journal.

of his command his death was
mourned as a personal loss by every

fear of incurring rebuke. Col. Peter
Turney, former governor of Tennes-
see, relates a peculiar experience
he once had with Gen. Jackson. 1t
was in Virginia, of course. Col. Tur-
ney had never seen the general, but
about midnight received orders to
prepare three days rations and be
ready to move at moments notice.
Two hours later came an order to
proceed in certain direction, and

Reservoir for the Farm.

There is one thing that every farmer
should do, if his land is in such shape
that he can, and that Is to dam up a
ravine on his farm so is to form lake
not mud-hole, but lake. know
hundreds of farms on which this can
be done at little expense and depth
of ten TO twenty feet of water secured.
l have noted many sorry attempts at
building dams for this purpose, the
work being less than half done, with
the usual result-a broken dam and a
shallow puddle. have also seen the
work well done, and fine lake 200 to
300 yards long, 80 to 60 feet wide and
10 to 20 feet deep secured, from which
hundreds of pounds of fish and tons Of
Ice are taken every year.-Fred Grun-
