Work of Private Detectives.

Doubtless not one person in a thou
sand has correct idea OF the character
or significance OF this most singular
outgrowth OF ultra-civilized conditions.
The detective connected with the police
department is complimented BY the
press whenever he captures a gang OF
thieves or discovers an incendiary. but
with the private detective the case is
different. Long before he embarks in
the business he must above all things.
learn he der1 himself the sweets OF
praise and the joys OF fame. He must
lay aside personal vanity. for his sue
cess lies not in forcing himself to the
front, but remaining as much as pos
sible in the background. He need have
no fear that customers will forget him,
Tor, like a six-shooter. a private detec-
tive is one OF the things that, when
needed, is required instanter-if not
sooner. A modest sign, which the
average well-bchaved and well-condi-
toned person might pass every day for
years without noticing but which looms
up as big as barn to the jealous wife
who wants her husband shadowed. is all
the advertising he needs. He need not
be alarmed for fear his clients will not
find his room, and take a suite OF large
and conspicuous apartments in the
front OF the building he occupies, for
when the man who is being bled and
blackmailed starts out to hunt up a pri-
vate detective he will find him il he has

Green Man uring.

There are plenty of farmers who do
not believe in or practice green man.
uring. They think it a better and
more profitable plan to harvest crop,
whatever it is, and feed it to animals.
They also hold that the process Of
soil amelioration by this means is too
slow, and takes altogether too long.
These and other objections to green
manuring are plausible and rather hard
to refute. Still the fact remains that
favorable results are often obtained
by plowing under green crops. Some
times farmer has land that is de-
teriorating under annual cropping,
and he cannot well put It in condi-
tion to return profitable cultivated
and harvested crop. He may have
used all available homemade manure,
and 1t may not be convenient to pur-
chase concentrated fertilizers.
In such q case, rather than let the
land 60 fallOw, he may find 1t to his
interest to cover it with some crop
on purpose to plow 1t under. One ad-
vantage Of this course Is its extreme
cheapness. 1t costs the farmer practi-
cally nothing but the seed, the labor Of
plowing the ground at the time Of
sowing, and again when the crop has
made a suitable growth. Something
is gained by the Improvement of the
mechanical condition of the soil, by
preventing the growth of undesirable
weeds which would otherwise have
taken possession Of the land, and by
increasing soil fertility to some extent
The addition of humus by the decay
Of the crop is in some soils of great
Importance. The argument that no
fertility is added to the soil by simply
returning the crop that grew upon it
does not apply to leguminous crop.
that Is able to draw large part Of
Its support from the air. II the plan Of
green manuring is not followed under
any other circumstances, It Is GER
tainly advisable to sow some hardy
crop on the removal of a harvested
crop, to remain through, the winter as
cover and be plawed down In the
springs. b. Reach, In New York

sheltering Cattle.


I feed cattle of all ages. the bulk.
however, being from one to three years
old. One Of the best feeds I can get is
two parts corn and one part oats for
the first thirty days. Thereafter l
begin to decrease the proportion Of
oats until the fourth month, when l
feed my cattle on full feed Of corn.
My belief is that 1t is the best to leave
out the oats as soon as the cattle are
In condition to stand full feed of
corn. Corn alone fattens cattle most
rapidly, and puts them In a marketable
condition quicker than any other food
or combination Of foods. / usually
feed my cattle about four months.
For roughage l use oats and fax

free access to these, and go in and
