a Greek died In the small town of
Caracal, having always lived on the
aims of his compatriots. Before dying
he made his wife swear that she would
bury him in the dirty old overcoat
which he wore every day. The poor
woman had to ask the Greeks of
Caracal to help her to provide the costs
of the funeral \ good hearted Greek
went to see her In her affection and.
pointing to the body, said he would
give her a better coat to bury the man
In. Then she told him of the dead
mans last wish. The Greek, whose
suspicious were awakened. told her
that she should certainly not part with
the body before she had well examined
the coat, for there must be some par
dcular reason for the request. The
widow unpicked the lining of the over
coat and found $4,000 francs In bank
notes which the miser wished to take
into the grave with him.

FORMALlN FUNGICIDE.
One of the Newer FunRicides For
Grain, Potatoes and Onions.

One of the Newer FunRicides For
Grain. Potatoes and Onions.
One of the newer fungicides Is for
malin (formaldehyde), which is usually
sold as a 40 per cent solution in pound
bottles. 1t Is particularly well adapted
for the treatment of seed for smut and
has been investigated by the expert
ment stations In several of the large
grain growing states Of the west. The
following is taken from II recent press
bulletin of the North Dakota agricul-
tural experiment station prepared by
Professor II. l.. Bollcy:
"Treatment.-Usef ormalin Tor 40 per
cent formaldehyde) ut the rate Of
pound of the liquid to forty-tve gallons
of water Apply this water solution to
the seed grain in any manner which al
lows all grains to become moist over
the entire surface.
"Sprinklng and shoveling are as effec-
tive as dipping Is If well done and, of
course, much more rapid. A small hand
spray pump will be found very useful
for applying the solution. Place the
grain upon a tight floor space or on
canvas, spray or sprinkle on the solu
ton and shovel or rake over the grain
until seen to be evenly moist. Leave
piled few hours before sowing
"The grain for seed should be meas
ured before treatment and again before
seeding to ascertain how the drill
should be set in order to sow the re-
CURED amount of the swelled seed.
"The same method Of treatment pre-
vents smut of oats, barley and millet.
ut takes about three fourths of a gal
lon Of the solution to each bushel of
wheat and one to one and half gal
Ions to each bushel of oats, barley or
millet.
THE same solution prevents potato
scab If the tubers are soaked in 1t for
an hour and a half before being cut
for planting"
Both the Ohio and Connecticut for
mulas agree in recommending a pint
(pound) of the formalin to thirty gal
Ions of water, soaking two hours, as
remedy for potato scab
Formalin is also being used success
fully as a remedy for smut In onions.
The following Is from Professor Selby's
summary:
"To apply formalin use at the rate of
a pound of commercial formalin In
twenty five to thirty-three gallons OF
water ian ounce to one and n half or

HambletOnian History.

From John Gilmer Speeds 1.-THE Horse in
America" in the September Century,
Hambleton was a bul!-like horse that
was trained by Hiram Woodruff, but
could never develop speed equal to
mile in three minutes rs, tn De exact,
being the best mile he ever did. As TO
his pedigree. Mambrino, the grandsire,
was by Messenger: but he was worthless
and also vicious. He could neither run
nor trot. de was bred by Louis Morris
OF Westminster County, New York, and
sold to Major William Jones of Cold
Spring Harbor, Long Island. AS he WAS
worthless and bitter disappointment,
Major Jones virtually gave him away,
and he was used as travelling stallion
at small fee. John Treadwell, Quaker
farmer near Jamaica, Long Island, had
two Conestoga, or Pennsylvania Dutch
draft-mares. Out OF one OF these mares,
by Mambrino, WAS born Abdallah. This
horse was so baG-tempered that he could
never be broken to harness, but WAS
ridden under the saddle. He had no
speed either as runner or trotter, not
being able to do a mile In Il ur minutes
at any gait. He had a mule.like head
and ears, a badly ewed neck, and ra,
tail. But he was a Messenger, despite
the Conestoga crossing, and he WAS sold
10 Kentuckans for 81 800. Ia less than
ak months the Kentuckians repented Of
their bargain, and sold him back to New
Workers. for S500-Messrs. Simmons &
Smith, Bulls Head dealers, buving him

purchaser could the spectators find at
any price, and the stallion was virtually

him. About this time Charles Kent
wanted new horse for his butcher wag
on. and traded, through Alexander
Campbell of Bulls Head, his WORKOUT
mare to Edmund Seeley, a farmer in
Orange County, New York, for steer
for butchering. This butchers mare had
originally been sold TO him by Campbell,
who had obtained her In drove OF
Western horses, paying $40 for her. Her
pedigree was quite unknown. This mare
l. known In American horse history MS
The Charles Kent mare, and Is said to be
imported by Bellfounder. She was 10
foal to Abdallah when Seeley lot her,
and the colt became the property of Bill
Rysdyk, a hired man on Seeley's farm.
Rysdyk looked around for a name for
his colt--a name which should indicate
the Messenger blood 10 him. There had
been Ia the early years CT the century a
famous son Of Messenger named after
Alexander Hamilton. This horse finally
became known as Bishops Hamitonian.
In his effort to borrow the name, Rys-
dyk being weak in bis photography,
called his horse Rysdyk's ambletonian.
And SO he lives In history-false in his
pedigree as In his name.

For Redlaw the situation was ono re-
quIring no explanation. 4he few words
he had heard, the scene that met his
startled gaze. the sweep of mingled hor-
ror and dismayto the faces of his COM
panlons-all combined to instantly reveal
the full length and breadth of the duplic-
ity by which he had been duped.
Yet 1t was his first Intimation of the
treachery of Walton, and 1t had not been
