Utilizing Old Orchards.

oCiIAlHS Olu OTCnarQSs
There are many farms in the cOun-
try we'll suited to sheep raising which
are not used for that purpose because
their owners raise other crops which
the writer passed through a section
where sheep were being raised in old
orchards, and he promptly left the
train to investigate. 1t was found that
orchards in this section had been
planted about the same time, and
while they were still bearing good
fruit, they were fast nearing an age
when they would be no longer profit
able. New orchards had been set, but
instead Of abandoning the old orchards
the ground had been seeded down and
turned into fine pastures for sheep,
which were doing finely. Not only
this, but it was found that the or
chards had taken on new life, and
were making a profit for their own
ers. There is point in this worth
any ones attention under similar con-
ers make a business of seeding down
and pasturing their orchards, and
while there may be some question as
to the wisdom of this plan with COM
paratively young and thrifty orchard,
there can be no doubt as to its value
in cases like that Observation-Disclosures

Farmers Roadside Rights,

The grass on the roadside belongs
to the owner Of the land. Land that
has been set apart for highway pur-
poses has not been sold or decided
away, as with a railroad, but has only
been loaned for public use. Anything
on the land, such as trees, wells, grass,
ETC., that do not in any way interfere
with travel, belong to the man who
owns the land. This is the law in all
States. When the road is discontinued
the land reverts to the original owner.
The owner Of the land can do nothing
that will obstruct Or interfere with
travel.

ity. For three years he has been car
rying on experiments and during that
time has cured large numbers Of peo-
pie. His first case was received in
October, 1901, and cure was effected
in the following December. From
four to eight months, according to the
nature of the disease, is necessary to
effect a cure. The use Of alcoholic
drink during the period is entirely pro-
hibited. According to DR.. Canu, there
are four classes of tuberculosis and in
all these classes the electric treatment
has been successful. His patients
have come from every grade of socie-
ty, many of them being furnished by
the hospitals and by insurance compa-
MES. None Of them is put on a rigid
diet, although the subject of food is
taken into consideration. Good, sub
stantial, blood-producing foods are adj
vised. DR.. Canu is satisfied that can
Ger can be treated in the same way
and he offers all the knowledge he
possesses to any one who wishes to
take up the treatment of this disease
by his system of electricity.

SIGN THIBETAN TREATY.

Lhassa, Thibet, Sept. 9, Thursday, via
Gyangtse, Sept. 1O.-In a speech after
signing the treaty with Thibet, Septem-
Der Z, Col Younghusband, the British
political agent, pointed out that the Brit
lsh therein avoided interfering in the
smallest degree with the internal affairs
of the country. They had not annexed
any territory and had fully recognized
the continued suzerainty of China. They
had merely sought to ensure the observ-
ance of the treaty of 1890, that trade
relations between India and Thibet
should be established and that Thibet
should not depart from her traditional
policy in regard to political relations with
other countries

Milking by Electricity.

A report comes from Germany that
they are milking cows there by cleo
tricity. Rubber hoods attached to the
udder of the cow are connected with
the milk receptacle by rubber tube
from which the air is exhausted by an
electric pdmp. 1t is claimed that the
suction thus secured resembles very
closely the sucking Of a calf, and that
for this reason the cow "lets down"
her milk more freely than when hand
MIXED. Absolute cleanliness for the
milk is also claimed for the method.

Miss Janet Mitchell Breaks Bottle CT
Champagne and Christens the
New Warship.

San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 1O.-The
new cruiser Milwaukee was launched sue
cessfully today from the ways Of the
Union Iron works in this city. The tide
served at IL: 30 a. M, and by that hour
large fotilla of small craft, steam and
sail, had taken up positions to greet the
latest addition to the American navy
when she took her maiden plunge, and
the yard was packed with an immense
crowd to witness the ceremony, including
a large number of knights Templar and
visitors attracted to the city by the grand
triennial encampment Of that body.
The mechanical arrangements were
completed early in the morning and ev-
erything was in readiness to speed the
powerful looking warship on her first
journey to the sea when Miss Lillian JEFF
frey, a daughter of California, gave the
signal to release the massive steel hull
from its berth on the stocks.
Christened by Miss Mitchell

Mayor Rose of Milwaukee; S. NJ. Beck
Miss ii. Mitchell, Mrs. w. Martin, Miss
Martin, Mr.. and Mrs Langhoff, Miss

1t makes a strong, vigorous growth
and, as yet, has not been seriously
troubled with disease or insect enc

comes early into fruit and is quite pro-

appearance, being smooth skinned and
most brilliantly colored. 1t is juicy,
rich in flavor and free from fiber. In

TO GET ANYTHING IN NEW YORK
Average Gothamite Is a Lash-Driven
S1ave-Be Bossy.

S1ave-Be Bossy.
''That the average New Yorker is a
lash-driven slave was never more for
chilly brought to my attention than the
other night at Coney Island" said
Carstairs. "When a man lives in the
great and only town for few years
he becomes so accustomed to being
bossed around by street car conduct
ors, Il guards, policemen, janitors,
and everybody else that the only way
to get him to do anything is to howl
at him.
GAS for the Illustration: went down
to Coney with a friend of mind who
knows New Workers like a book AS
we got aboard the train at the bridge
there was a crowd, Of course, and it
seemed impossible for US to get
through and aboard the cars. asked
two or three burly members Of the
community who blocked our passage
particularly if they would not stand
aside and let us get a chance at the
cars, but they gave me the merry guf-
faw and pushed me back a little far
ther Here's where my friends knowl-
edge of New Workers came in handy.
He is small man who could not stand
much show in a fight, but he has
carrying and rasping voice. Standing
behind this bunch Of bruisers he shout
ed:
"'Ho, there, git out of the way; git
out quick
''You ought to have seen the effect.
The group melted away as though
grape shot had been hurled into their
midst, without looking around to see
who had given the order. We got the
best seats in the car.
con arriving at Coney Island we
started in to take in Luna Park The
entrance was packed, and there seem
ed no chance Of getting our tickets for
an hour. But here again my friend
came to the rescue. He put his hand
on the shoulder Of the man nearest us
and shouted:
Here, you, move on, now! What
dye mean by blocking up this pas
sage? Git, now; git, I tell you, Or
you'll be sorryv
"The man sank trembling to the
rear and others who heard my friends
demand faded away and made long
lane for us to pass through up to the
ticket window. There the man sell
ing admissions was inclined to pay no
attention to us, as he had a hundred
or more clamoring with money in their
hands, but my friend gave him look
and yelled:
"Look here, you, I want to give
you a tip. I've been watching you for
a week now, and won't stand any
more O. this business. Understand?
The man in the window looked scared
to death. Probably he had not been
doing anything out Of the way, but he
had the regular New York guilty con-
science, and Immediately handed out
two tickets and forgot to take our
money.
GAS we left the grounds l heard a
fair damsel whisper to her escort:
"T don't quite recognize 'em, but [
think they must be Police Commish
Macydoo and Mayor Mcclellan.
They're so bossy' New York World.

Profit in the Dairy.

1t has been truthfully claimed that
the dairy business removes less fertil-
ity from the soil than any other. Pro
fessor Curtfss, of Iowa, made a state
ment recently that in selling a thou
sand dollars worth Of wheat one re-
moved $3.50 worth OF fertility from the
soil; of corn, $3.50 worth; but $1,000
worth OF corn can be converted into
beef, pork or milton for market and
not remove more than S25 worth of
fertility with it. BY converting $1,000
worth of feed into butter, not a sin
gle dollars worth of fertility will be
removed. Butter is almost wholly

HIS HOME IS BLOWN UP.
Lives of Twenty Families in New
York Put in Peril.
"BLACK HAND" ACCUSED
Police, However, Arrest Man Who Claims
He Is Victim of Italian
Secret Society.

New York, Sept. 12.-Pelligrini Stra-
velli, the Italian barber whose shop was
wrecked by an explosion early today, en-
dangering the lives Of twenty families
who occupied tenements in the building,
has been placed under arrest on suspi-
cion of having caused the explosion.
Stravelll claims that the explosion was
caused by members of the BLACK Hand"
society and at the police station he
showed two letters, signed with the
mystic symbol, threatening with serious
things unless he sent $500 to the writer's.
Explosion Causes Panic.
The explosion occurred just before 1
o'clock this morning and twenty families
living in the house were thrown into
panic. 1t is thought the explosion was
caused by bomb
The entire front Of the barber shop
was blown into the street. The ceiling
was wrecked and the sidewall, separating
the barber shop from the hallway leading
into the tenement house was blown into
a heap of debris in the hallway, through
which the frightened tenants made their
way to the street.
Several of the tenants were hurt during
the panic following the explosion.
Fife Easily Extinguished.
The fire following the explosion was
caused so much smoke that the blaze
looked ominous until the firemen got to
work.
The only living thing there had been in
the shop was 4 mastiff owned by the
Italian. When the tiremen went into the
shop one of the first things they saw
was the mangled body of the big dog,
headless. The head was found in the
street.
Stravelli was too frightened to talk
after the excitement quoted. He locked
himself in his room with his wife and
SIX children.
Tells Strange Story.
Stravalli says he received a letter two
weeks ago telling him that his children
would be stolen and his barber shop
wrecked if he failed to take $500 TO the
corner Of Thirty-eighth street and First
avenue and hand the cash to two men
he would find there.
That was when the little Mannino boy
was missing in Brooklyn and many Ital-
ian blackmailers were making money out
of the fears Of the timorous
Stravelli took the letter 70 the police.
With two detectives he Went to the cor
ner, but the blackmailers were wary and
failed to appear.
Stravelli claimed he got another letter
q few days ago worded in the same way,
telling him that no more time would be
given to him to deliver the money; he
must bring it at once. With central
office detective he went to the corner
again. Not a sign of the letter writers
did they see.
