Mrs. Bailey. who was a visitor to-

a diamond ring and the money, to
help Judge j. j. Wills cut cloth to dec
crate the exhibit. A moment later
the purse had disappeared.
The Jefferson guard was sum-
moned and told that a woman in
black had been sitting near Mrs. Bal
ley just moment before the purse
was missed and had disappeared sud
denly. Judge Wills says she has been
seen about the exhibit several times.
The guard was hurried to the en-
frances, but the woman's capture has
not been reported.

Alfalfa in Orchards.

A number of correspondents who
are interested in alfalfa have asked If
Il would not be a valuable crop for the
orchard. The experience of the writer
has been limited in this direction, but,
SO far rs 1t goes. II Is II accord with
that of others who have tried 1t and is
decidedly AGAINST the use of alfalfa
in the orchard. Two things about al.
falfa should be remembered. First, II
roots deeply and hence its roots would
be likely 20 rob the soil of fertility
needed by the trees.
Second, as the roots would not afford
any food for the tree until plowed un-
der, the deep plowing would of necessi-
ty iniure the tree roots. Try alfalfa
by all means, but try It in the open
field, preparing the seed bed early and
thoroughly and sowing eight quarts of
seed an acre. Sometimes n nurse crop
is grown with it-usually timothy
and when this is done the seeding of
timothy should be light not more than
one and one-half or two quarts to the
acre. The growth may be light the
first year, but 1t will mprove.-lndian-

Charcoal for Poultry.

The habit of mixing grit, shell or
charcoal in with the mash food is
detrimental to the fowls. II is very
wrong, indeed, to either clog up the
crop or overload the gizzard with
these necessities, the supplying of
which the fowls know very much more
about than we do.
The grit box should hang against
the wall and always have four com
partments; one for grit. one for shell,
one for charcoal. and the other to be
used for sand or gravel
It is not necessary to feed powders
or condiments of any kind to healthy
poultry that is properly housed, cared
for and fed. When they need any
thing in the way of condiment, n
mixture of equal parts of cayenne pep
per, ground ginger, cloves and all
spice is good, about q teaspoonful in
the mash for each dozen fowls twice a
week is sunlcient.-Commercial Poul-

TREATING Potatoes.

Some farmers have the idea firmly
fixed in their minds that stable manure
ought not TO be used in growing pota-
toes, the claim being that 1t causes the
scab which is so destructive. This Is
not correct, for If thhe fungus Is in the
seed potato the scab will appear no
matter what sort of fertilizer Is used
n growing the crop. The only way at
oil certain Of avoiding scab in the po-
tato crop is to treat the seed tubers
used, and this should always be done
regardless of where the seed comes
from. You may contemplate using
seed that you feel certain is free from
the germ of the sceb. but 1t will be
safer to treat the seed.
Buy some commercial formalin, and
TO each one.half pint of 1t add fifteen
gallons of water. Then soak the seed
tubers in the mixture for two or even
three hours. Do this before planting
and you will be reasonably sure of
having the crop free from scab.
