piercing of tunnels and galleries. and in mines. At the time of the inaugu- ration of the laboratory of arts and trades the first of July, 1903. a circular saw provided with diamond points pro- duced surprising results, cutting into thin slices the hardest of materials. On the banks of the Sac Jose we find the traces of the first exploitation of the mines by the natives. the Garimperos. The black diamond, however, having no commercial value, did not attract these people, and they were apparently ig- norant of the real character of the mineral. From the report of an en- gineer who explored the region in 1858 we learn that one day the diamond diggers discovered a black stone in the Sac Jose. They took the stone to one of their huts and sought to dis cover It's nature by attempting to crack 1t. All their efforts were fruit less. the stone resisting the most pow erful hammers, and after a time it was thrown back into the river. The stone weighed about 10000 carats. and at the present price of $40 a carat represents loss of $400,000.

KIDNAPPED BOY RETURNS.
Stolen From Virginia Home Two
Years Ago by q Tramp.


A dispatch from Roanoke. Va. says:
Last Saturday night thirteen-year-old boy.
dust-begrimed and dirty with a ten days
ride on freight Grains from Cincinnati to
Roanoke, arrived in this city, shivering
and soaked to the skin by several hours
rain. When nearing his old home he met a
neighbours boy. and questioned him as to
whether the family still resided at the old
place, and was answered in the Affirmative.
He was then asked as to whether all the
family were still living. when he was In
formed that all but one were alive, the dead
member being Hugh, a boy eleven years
old. who left home over two years ago and
had been drowned. the remainder of the
family never again hearing from him.
The little fellow, then within a few doors
of his own home, was Hugh Jones. son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. T H. Jones. Hugh was alb

travelled with him for several months. The
tramp man about sXty-five years of
age, umbrella mender and maker of

Young Jones says he escaped from the

This statement Is not one of opinion only
but has been based upon carefully ascer-
tanned circumstances, among which may be
cited the following:
An Independent" republican Of Milwau-
half breed and "stalwart' factions and
has acted as an intermediary on several
occasions where there was a prospect of
bringing them together. recently made an
extensive investigation in regard to the
feeling toward President Roosevelt, and he
was able to find only one republican op
posed to the President. All others, without
the slightest hesitation. declared in his
favor. The singular fact about 1t is that
the person taking this straw vote has
strong personal antpathy to Mr.. Roosevelt
defeat as a result of the fight in Wiscon-
sin. He is now free to admit that there is
prospect of doing so. His investigation,
which was extended beyond the limits
originally set for it, also developed the
fact that many democrats will put their
crosses over the names of the Roosevelt
electors.
The President has succeeded in inspiring
the people Of this state with species of
hero-worship which is well nigh inconceiv-
able to the old wheel horses of the party
and has become the despair of those who
oppose him. When November's verdict Is
registered his majority in Wisconsin Will
not be far from the hundred thousand mark
and will probably exceed 1t.

The VIRGINIA Tobacco Markets.

A dispatch from Lynchburg. Va. says:
For the week ended July there were 174.
100 pounds of loose tobacco sold on this
market. being an increase of r. 200 pounds
over last week. The light receipts the last
week, after having good reasons for ham
ding tobacco, indicated that the crop is
about sold. The offerings and prices were
about the same as for some time past The
weather recently has been very favorable
for the growing crop, which Is in good con-
dltion. being we'll worked and with plenty
of moisture, which Is giving the tobacco a
very thrifty appearance.
The tobacco market of Petersburg still
keeps up few irregular sales of remnants
of the crops Of planters who were slow in
getting ready for market. The new crop
though late, is doing well, and will make a
fair yield. There is some talk of having a
premium sale for fue-cured primings this
fall, which may start sales of the new
crop earlier than usual.

A strike occurred at the mines in Janu-

of the old employees found their places
taken when the two mines resumed ship

Best Feed None Too Good,

When cows are tested for records
they are not fed on straw and fodder
or with the view of saving in the food,
but on the contrary, the best foods
that can be obtained are not cOnsid-
cred too good or costly. Grain, clover,
pasturage, linseed meal and roots as
sist, each to afford q variety or change,
to promote the appetite and to induce
the COW to eat as much as she can
digest, hence such COWS have great di-
gestive capacity, and can utilize large
quantities of food. The fact that they
are well bred is simply an evidence
that they are from families that have
been noted for good records. 1t is the
food that makes the milk and butter,
but an ordinary COW does not possess
the capacity Of consuming and con-
verting large quantities of food into
milk and butter compared with one
that is pure bred

Select Your Seed Corn.

The farmer who has a uniformly
good corn crop is generally the man
who looks after his seed himself He
does not buy from any dealer whose
circular happens to fall into his hands
and plant the seed without testing
The careful farmer picks out his seed
from the best Of his own corn or that
Of his nefghbor, sees that it is properly
dried and cared for during the winter
and tests it before planting in the
spring. The careless farmer does not
do these things and then kicks because
his crop is a failure. He ought to
have a man to apply some good lusty
kicks to his person. The seedmen are
not always to blame. Some Of them
are honest The farmer should test
seed for himself, and if it be good
e the seedman his due; If on the
other hand, it be bad, let him dispose
OF it the best he can. a failing that
growers have is to delay securing their
seed until too little, time is left to OBJ
tain an adequate knowledge Of its real
value cannot too strongly urge corn
growers to see to it now that well-ma-
tured ears Of a desirable type and the
product of a variety noted. for sue
cessiye large yields be secured for next
years seeding-Clnton N. Schultz.

Poultry Pickings.

New blood should be introduced fire.
Quently.
Crowding IS a foe to thrift and pro
ductiveness.
Injurious effects are often produced
By inbreeding.
A hen, to be profitable, should lay a
dollars worth of eggs in year
A little salt given in the soft food Of
fowls is very acceptable to them.
Grow a patch of sunflowers, espe-
cially to feed to the fowls after moult-
ing.
Supplying lime, charcoal, gravel and
crushed bone will assist in feather
making.
In supplying water to little chickens
arrange so that they cannot get their
feet wet.
1t is quite an item in handling q
flock of poultry to have them az gentle
as possible.
AS a rule, it is not profitable to keep
ms over two years old, unless they
are valuable stock.
While in arranging the poultry house
warmth is an essential there, fresh air
is equally important.
Raw corn meal is not q good feed
for little chickens from the fact that it
heats and swellS after eating.
Top and side ventilation, arranged
so as not to blow directly on the roosts,
is just the thing for summer.
Generally the safest rule Is to kill
hen caught at feather pulling, as all
others will soon acquire the habit.
One Of the best ways of renovating
q foul poultry yard is to spade or pillow
up thoroughly and expose to the sun.
1t is pretty hard to give a growing
cockerel or pullet enough corn to make
it lay on fat especially when running
out, as so much Of the food goes to the
production of bone, feathers and mus

Never select a cock with a dropping
or ''ewe neck" and also avoid one that
fails to have a good, strong, wide
spreading tail.
