The kittens follow the hen about by
day, and at night they nestle under her
soft, warm wings and enjoy the COM

her discarded chicks. ~
The hen will allow no person to handle

SINGLE GERM BEET SEED.
An Improvement That Will Mean .
Saving Of 81, 900, 900 Annual 49,.
~ to Our Farmers.

The experimental patch Of single
germ beet seed which was grown on the
Saratoga farm near Lehi, Utah, has
been harvested. Prof. Townsend found
that certain sugar-beet flowers had a
tendency to develop seeds Of fewer
germs than others. Following this
hint, he took the pollen Of hundreds
Of these flowers and placed it in similar
flowers Of other beets and tied little
paper bags over them till they ripened
into seed. BY this method he secured
quite number Of seeds with but a sim
gle germ. These seeds he planted last
year in Washington, and while they
were growing into mother beets, he
again pursued the paper-sack plan and
gathered several thousand others of the
single-germ variety, and sliced the
beets grown last winter in Washing
ton. This spring, owing to the eminent
success attained by Utah in the produc-
ton Of sugar beets, the experiments
were transferred to Utah, and the sin
gle-germ seed and beets produced from
single-germ seed were planted. The
closest attention was given to the beets,
and there were no other seed beets
grown within I'VE miles, which insured
them from receiving pollen which might
be carried by insects from plants of
multiple-germ seed. Later, experts will
carefully examine the seed produced
this year and will separate the single
from the multiple-germ seed, and it is
expected that from the beets which re-
ceived special treatment 80 per cent.
will prove to be Of single germ. Prof.
Townsend believes that beets produced
from the seed grown this year will pro-
dtlce eeed that will be more than so
per cent. single-germ seed, and that
ultimately he. will get q species that
will invariably produce but a single
plant, and which will mean a saving to
thu American farmer Of 81 100000 an
nually. -,

MURDFRERS SURRENDER

The men had been secTeted in an abandoned coal mine just outside of Montgomery and were driven to surrender by hunger and cold. Since the shooting of Sheriff Daniel and their subsequent disappear ance the men spent the time in the coal mine. secreted from their pur- suers and the bloodEounds that were put on their trail. During this time they were without food and drink.
 The officials took the men around the town of Aonis isomery and by a roundabout way brought them to Charleston to avoid a riot or lynching. which would have eventually occurred had the citizens of Montgomery dis covered that the Jacksons had been apprehended. There are six prisoners now implicated in the Montgomery shooting. in the Charleston jail. It .s not considered safe to hold the hearing of any of them at the present time.

extrf service for each pole will amount to a tremendous saving in expense. Un- cedar poles last from twelve to fifteen years. Seasoning experi- ments have shown how to increase this time by three or four years, and it is now expected to improve on this in crease. Past methods of seasoning have effected a drying out of 20 per cent of the original weight of the poles The better seasoned the pcle, the less chance there is for decay, which is promoted by moisture.
 Such experiments are of large i'm Portance not only to telegraph and telephone companies, but to gil users of heavy timbers which come in con tact with the ground, at which line de- cay gets in it's most deadly work. It is believed that still greater economies can be secured by the use of proper methods of preseIyative >trest tment. The latter is a subject which the bureau of forestry has for some time been Investigating, as set forth in its bulletin No. 4, Seasoning of Timber and other publications. Further bal letins dealing with different aspects of the same problem will be issued later.

SEASONING OF TIMBER

Washington, Nov. I3.-'The bureau of forestry has recently signed am agree meut to make extensive timber season. ing tests in two weste-n states, iE. co- operation with two telegraph and teIe- phone companies. Experimental sta- tions will be located at Marinette. Wis, and Escana pa, Mich; and prob ably third station Will be establish ed at Ashland, Wis. The expense of the experiments will be borne jointly by the bureau and the companies. Cedar and tamarack telephone and telegraph poles will be furnished by the state of Wisconsin free of cost, and two railroad companies have agreed to haul them to the experiment stations without charge for freight.
 The object of the experiments is to determine how many years can be added to the life of each pole by prop CT geasoning. Since millions upon mil- lions of poles are used along telegraph and telephone lines, even one year. s
