Writing in Leslie's Weekly Harry
Beardsley describes Andrew Carnegie
as "a little smiling. white-haired. man,
unaffected in manner, with nothing
whatever imposing in his bearing,
without what is commonly called a

conspicuous in contrast with other men
and women surrounding him. He seems
so small. so gentle and modest that

Treating ROt In Peaches.
The brown rot of peaches Is generally
familiar to growers Of this fruit, but
many are careless in Kidding their or
chards Of the pest, probably because
they do not appreciate the damage the
fungous growth does. The illustration
fairly shows how the mummified
peaches look when attacked with this
disease. Not only is the fruit attacked
by this disease. but the twigs are also
affected, and the growth is much more
formidable during damp growing sea-
son than dry one.
1t seems unnecessary to say that
much of the trouble from this difficulty
could be avoided; that is, the disease
might be checked, If these mummifed
specimens were picked from the trees
before the buds appear in the spring.
AS with most fungous diseases Of
fruit trees, this brown rot may be large
ly overcome by spraying. 1t would oc-
cupy too much space to go into the de-

STRANGE PHOTO OF CHRIST.

Picture of Holy Shroud Said to Reveal
Mysterious Face.
The sensational story that portraits
of the dead body of Christ have been
obtained at Turin by photographing
the holy shroud preserved in the ca
thedral there has been revived by the
Figaro and is causing huge stir. The
famous relic, which belongs to the
royal house of Savoy and is recognized
as authentic, shows numerous blood
stains, which are faint ordinarily, but
it is alleged that they turn vivid scar
let on Holy Friday.
Nearly two years ago Turin phOtog-
rapher asserted that negatives of the
shroud revealed a perfect resemblance
to Jesus. The plates were examined
by church authorities, who found that
they bore evidence of clever retouching
and therefore a sensation was nipped
in the bud. Now the photos are ex-
hibited in the lobby Of the Figaro's
building and thousands are thronging
to the place every day to see them.
A good idea of what they look like
may be had from any of the later and
bearded portraits of Alphonse Daudet.
The forehead is terribly lacerated and
the hands are crossed over the body.
The nails do not appear to have been
driven through the palms of the hands,
as it is generally believed they were,
but through the wrists.
Concurrently with the exhibiting of
the photographs two eminent physi-
clans, Drs. Delage and Vignon, have
communicated to the Academy of Sci
ence theories explaining the miracle,
basing their argument on NJ. Gautier's
discovery that the body of dying man
emits an alkaline perspiration, and M.
Colson's previous discovery that GER
tain chemicals could impress sensitized
plates in absolute darkness or leave
traces invisible to the human eye, but
capable of being photographed, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. Delage and
Vignon believe Christ's dying torture
emitted a perspiration which enabled
the shroud to preserve an invisible like
ness, which now for the first time has
been revealed by the photo negative.
Some prominent scientists ridicule
the ingenious theories. NJ. Berthelot,
for instance, said:
First, the negatives, it has been
proved, were doctored. Second, after
nineteen centuries such chemical forces
would have long evaporated. Third, it
is impossible to wrap a shroud in such
a manner as to obtain the continuous
perfect imprints shown in those pic
tureS"

BiOatiug CoWa.

There is always more or less COM
plant regarding the bloating of cows
during the first weeks after they have
been turned out to pasture. Doubtless
a part of the trouble is due to the an
imal, long deprived of green food, over
loading her stomach and at the same
time drinking copiously of water.
Oftentimes, however. the trouble is
either due to improper feeding or else
the animal has an attack of indiges-
ton. In either case the remedy is in
an entire change of diet, avoiding any
food that Is not of the best quality
and confining the grain ration to such
as are of easy digestion. .'.
The quality of the water drunk by
the animal should be looked into care
fully and particularly if the water is
from stream in the pasture. If there
is the slightest doubt about the quality
of the water, the source of supply
should be changed.

Repeated Trials of Crops.


Every farmer who has tried the plan
knows that he frequently fails to get
satisfactory crop of some grain or
vegetable, and does not always sue
ceed in getting stand Of the crops
sown for stock. This is often the case
with crimson clover, and sometimes
with the COW pea and with alfalfa.
Several recent communications from
correspondents who have adopted the
suggestion offered in this column re-
garding alfalfa state that they tried
the plan, but did not get a satisfac-
tory stand, and hence would give 1t
up. This is wrong, as the writer can
testify, for on several occasions he has
failed to get satisfactory stand with
out any apparent cause for the fail
ure except in one instance, when the
seed was poor.
On the other hand. other sowings
have brought good stands. and addi
tional trials on the same land where
previous failures had been made re-
suited in success. II tests on small
plots show that certain crops can be
grown on the farm. one ought not to be
discouraged at a single failure, espe-
cially with such crop as alfalfa.
which promises SO much to the Amer
ican farmer.

Travels of an Iceberg.


From the regions around the north
and south poles there are perpetually
starting on journeys. which may be
long or short, according to the cur
rents of the ocean, great number of
icebergs. Many of these ice hills are
of large size, and wander far before
they are at last melted by the heat of
the tropical seas. into which they have
been carried. Bergs setting out from
Bafhn's Bay, up Greenland way, have
Travelled as far as the Azores before
vanishing forever-that is to say, some
$500 miles, or even more. Sometimes
they are a source of serious danger to
the greyhounds of the Atlantic and
other vessels. because they cross the
track of many of these steamers. 1t Is
no joke to run into berg at dead Of
night. and close watch has constantly
to be kept at certain seasons. Bergs
setting out from near the south pole
have occasionally reached close to the
Cape of Good Hope ere disappearing,

Dairy Notes.

See that each cow eats her food
clean.
Cows fed on rich food make rich ma
nure.
Better five cows on full feed than ten
Oh scant rations.
Try an increase in rations before con-
demning COW.
Skill in feeding will make vast diff
ference in the profits.
If butter Is overworked 1t will show
an oily or greasy look.
Do not let the cream get thick sour;
churn when slightly acid.
A good separator does wonderfully
close skimming if intelligently ham
died.
One essential to success In dairying
is cow fitted for special purpose.
Fall and winter calves will make
fully as good dairy cows as spring
calves.
Rich food will make rich milk and
and butter.
In dairying especially. economy OF
land means the fewest acres and the
most cows.
There Is no complicated work about
making gilt-edged butter, if one win
only follow the right principles in the
art.
One Of the best ways to Judge a
cows worth is to milk her: the result
will usually be more satisfactory.
Much of the butter made on the farm
loses much of its value before reaching

Is not desirable to lay too much stress

slow process. and If the spot is large
one many of the plants will be in

quicker than by any other method.

What's Your Name?


When a boy. the great French author
Alphonse Daudet was very poor. but
he was allowed to attend, without pay
ing any fees, school in which the
majority of the pupils were the sons
of rich men. His appearance at the
school, dressed in a blouse, which only
the very poor wore. was the occasion
of many taunts and jeers from his
school fellows, and even the master
never called him by his name, but ad-
dressed him as whats you name"
says the American Boy. But the boy
never needed the Ill will nor the
sneers; he determined that he would
make something of himself, saying,
"If l am to take any position in this
school l must work twice as hard as
the others" By steadfast persistency
and courageous determination, he did
succeed, and when his name had be-
come famous he wrote story in men,
ory of those days of hardship and pow
erty, and called it Little What's-His
Name"
