For Future Nut Eaters.

This SeitSu44 ,'crOp Of nuts. chestnuts,
beechnuts, walnuts. butternuts. ETC.,
will possibly not rise above the aver
age. but the yield of the future prom
ises to be much greater, says the Bos-
ton Advertiser. During the past two
years many farmers in the western
part of Massachusetts have been set
ting out orchards of certain varieties of
European chestnuts. Not only do they
bear more quickly. but more prolifical-
". than any known American variety.
When the orchards epnce begin their
yield the nut harvest in this state will
be of considerable proportions, where
as in the past agricultural interests
have paid little attention to it.

USE FOR BOIL WEEVILS.
Cotton Pest Found Valuable in FattenIEg
Texas Turkeys.

It is becoming a serious question in
Texas whether the boil weevil is not
really a better thing than the cotton
bolls it destroys, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean. Thus far it has been used
only as a fattener of turkeys. But
chickens doubtless would thrive on it
Just as WELL And who knows but that
Texas cattle, if turned into the ruined
cotton fields, might not increase to
profitable shipping weight for the Chi
cago market on pure diet Of boil wee
vii?
However, aside from all this, things
which were looking down in Texas
few months ago are now looking up
The Texas turkey is in great demand
because of his size and fairness, thanks
to his boil weevil diet, while as by
product the Texas planters have what
they call a soft thing in his feathers.

MURDER SCHOOL IN ITALY.
Graduates Wore Uniforms and
STYLED Themselves MaIavita.

AS an instance of the way secret so
cieties like the Malta are organized in
southern Italy it is worth reporting
that the Italian police recently arrest
ed seventy-one persons, all members OF
a secret organization called the Mala-
vita in the city of Foggia, says the
Rome correspondent of the New York
World
1t was discovered that the society
was organized to commit all sorts of
crimes, from highway robbery to kid
naping. Two schools were found, one
to teach the way TO use the knife and
the other for pickpockets. An admis-
sion fee Of a few francs was charged,
and the members were divided into
three classes and promoted from one
TO the other by sort of supreme court,
with headquarters at Barletta.
The distinctive uniforms of the mem
Ders consisted Of a red scarf to be worn
as a belt and long curl hanging down
The forehead or green scarf for those
OF a lower degree in the society. If
any one of the members was arrested
other members volunteered to give per-
Jured testimony in his behalf, while a
lew more took charge of the witnesses
LOT the prosecution, whom they scared
oy threats into refusing to testify. a
special recruiting department was also
feature Of the society.

A "ChaIr in Poultry"

Missouri is nothing if not up-to date
in these days. The latest over there
is a ''chair of poultry" in one of her
leading colleges. How to raise chick
ems will be taught at the University of
Missouri. The curators have decided
to offer a full course in poultry raising.
A short course was offered last year,
but this year the study is to be put on
an equal plane with the studies IN
other departments, and full instruc.
tions in the breeding and handling OF
domestic fowls and the production OF
eggs will be given.
