Varieties of Garden Plants,

In the year book for 1901, issued by
the Department of Agriculture, 1t Is
stated that there We're catalogued in
1900 no less than GS5 nominal varieties
of cabbage, $50 of lettuce, 800 of bush
beans, $40 of sweet corn, 800 each of
cucumbers and table beets 255 of pole
beans and almost as many others Of
other vegetables. OF course this in
cludes many varieties which differ from
others only by having the addition of Il

cd" early" late" large" or other
addition which is intended to show Il
difference from the others under the
old name. The department lately is
sued as Il bulletin "A List of American
Peppers" which enumeratcs 1914 varie-
ties. Among so many how may one
learn to choose the best? Undoubted-
ly many of them differ in name only,
and perhaps some growers use more
care in selecting the seed stock or In
keeping varieties pure than do others,
and by the use of their name may de-
sire to gain reputation, but the above
list might well be divided by ten, and
still show all the different types, and
probably all really desirable varieties.

For doing all this work, and occupying
position Of trust In which thousands
of dollars passed through his hands he
was paid SIS per week. The company
that employed him pushed the prose
cution and wanted him sent to the
penitentiary, but Judge Dunno found
him guilty of embezzling but $15, thus
saving him from the penitentiary, and
sentenced him to serve thirty days in
Jail. In rendering his decision Judge
Dunno told the employers OF West that
when they asked a man to take such
responsible position at such small
salary and where he is called on in the
performance of his duty to collect such
large amounts of money, knowing that
he has a wife and two children to care
for, you are simply inviting him to
commit crime, or at least exposing
him to temptation, and 1t is wrong"
The Judge said he believed West, the
prisoner, to be good man, and that
had his salary been even as much as
80 more per week he would never have
been exposed to temptation. "If he
had been paid $50 week as he should
have been paid, he would have had
$500 in the bank instead of being here
convicted Of embezzlement." The de-
cision of Judge Dunno is well worth
serious consideration by all who give
employment to others.

various rulers of England have made
changes in the architecture OF the ed.

original general plan still dominates.
The length Of the whole is oil feet, the
greatest width 203 feet and the height
of the roof 102 feet.
Westminster has ever been the place
where the sovereigns of England have
been crowned, and therefore the grand
est pageants of the Kingdom have been
exhibited before multitudes of spec

The funerals of Kings and Queens have
also taken place in this structure, and
many events of national interest have
been discussed before the houses OF
government convened here.
The tombs and monuments in the
abbey are exceedingly numerous, and

under the pavement or commemorated
on the walls would form Il national BIZ

The Ohio Experiment Station reports
that the chlnch bug is especially fond
of millct and similar grasses, and
where wheat fields are infested, 1t will
be well to sow narrow strip of millet
between them ana other crops. A strip
Of millet two or three yards wide may
be sown by the side of the corn field
next to infested wheat or oats, and
when the bugs have taken possession
of 1t the millct may be plowed under
with a jointer pillow and the ground
narrowed and rolled. thus burying the
bugs. Another method Is to plow a
deep furrow across their tracks, as
they travel from fold to field; the bugs
in this furrow will have difficulty in
getting out, and may then be killed
by sprinkling them with Kerosene emul-
sion. This may also he used where the
bugs have attacked the outer rows of
corn. using n spray pump and throwing
1t with sufficient force to wash them
off the corn.

After Twenty-Five Years Gilman Made
Wife Leave Her Other HnsInnd

After Twenty-Five Years Gilman Made
Wife Leave Her Other Husband.
After separation of twenty-five
years ]. A. Gilman and his wife are to
begin life anew in Frankford. Pa,
They were married twenty-eight years
ago. New York was their home for a
while, and then, two years after their
marriage, Gilman went to Doylestown
to work. He disappeared. -Four years
search brought no light as to his
whereabouts. After that time letter
came to his wife which said that her
husband had died in an asylum for the
insane.
Mrs. Gilman married Henry Daubert
of Emaus, in Lehigh County, Pennsyl-
vania. Three children were born to
them, and they lived there until few
days ago. Then Gilman, long forgot
ten, reappeared. Mrs. Daubert recog-
nized him and begged him to go away
and let her die in peace beneath the
roof of her second husbands home.
Gilman, unlike the Enoch Arden Of
fiction, refused. He said she was still
his wife, and insisted upon her leaving
Daubert and going with him. The
law was with him, and the woman
she is G1-parted sorrowfully from the
man she had loved for twenty-five
years and made ready to come to Phil
adelphia.
Gilman's own story is equally
strange. he really was In an asylum,
he says, and while there he received
u legacy Of $4,000 from relative in
Camden. He was discharged then, but
his mind was blank until few years
ago. He began the search for his wife.
He could not even remember where
they had lived. Finally, however he
recalled the number of his Masonic
lodge and through that traced out his
old life. He is &C years old and broken
in health. Daubert is also old and
feeble, and is said to be broken-hearted
at the loss of his wife.-Philadelphia

Apple pomace is usually hold in light
esteem. Many think 1t not worth the
hauling. 1t Is sometimes used as n fer
tillzer, occasionally rs n feed for pigs
or cows, but 1t frequently goes to waste
behind the cider mill. A minor expert
mcnt made in 1889 at the Vermont Ex
pertinent Station indicated that its
feeding value was about equal to that
of good silagc. lnasmuch as the meth
DDS of that test We're open to criticism,
1t seemed worth while to repent the
trial upon n more extended scale. Ac-
cordingly several tons of pomace We're
obtained from nearby cider mill and
ensiled for preservation. The results
secured We're us follows: l. From one
to three per cent less milk and butter
was made when the pomace was fed
than when corn silage was eaten. ..
The cows gave somewhat better milk
on pomace than on silage. The diff
ference amounted to about 0.20 per
cent. 3. From three to four per cent
| more product was made on the unit of
| dry matter of the pomace ration than
that of the silage ration. There seem
| ed to be no Ill effects arising from the
feeding of fifteen pounds or less daily.
1t is but fair to say, however. that
the milk of these seven cows was
merged with that of the entire herd.
Had pomace been fed to the entire herd
in these quantities, 1t might have af-
fected the quality of the milk or the
butter. The present experiment does
not afford data upon this point. 1t is
expected to make observations thereon
during the coming year.-New England
