A number of devices have been pat

Milk must be kept Mt 60 or 40 degrees

The first crop usually planted III the
farm garden is one of the earliest wi
rieties of peas. On account of the
hardness of the plant no amount OF
cold weather will do much injury af-
ter the peas are once up, but when
planted extremely carly part of tie
seed will rot in the ground, causing
many gaps in the row. Early in the
season usually there Is little nitrogen
in the soil and the plants grow vecy
slowly at first. A little nitrate of soda
applied In the row ut the time of SOW
ing will hurry the growth of peas.
The market value of the crop depends
largely upon its earliness. The kinds
which do not require bIshlrg are most
popular for farm Usr. The late kin ls
often do not produce II crop until warn
weather comes. and for that reason are
often attacked hy blight, which may
be prevented by spraying with bor-
deaux mixture, same as for apple trees.

London Mail: Upper Baker street
has got a mystery. A discovery has
been made in the ruins of the house
Of the famous Sarah Sidon which.
1t is thought. may lead to the disclosure
OF "A s-uDtelranean passage from "A re-
mote cellar of the great actresses house
TO Il destination unknown.
In the course of the demolition OF the
building, in connection with the Baker
street and Waterloo railway operations.
an iron trapdoor was found in the
basement. A few blows of a sledge
hammer smashed 1t, revealing a pit
about 3 by 2 feet. resembling a man.
hole to n sewer.
The pit is brick lined and iron hand
holds are fixed in the walls. The depth
is probably twelve to fourteen feet. but
vestigatioEs are to be resume In about
q week.
The startling part of the discovery
Is that Baker street has always sedu-
lousy nursed a tradition that there eX-
lists a subterranean passage from Mrs.
SiddOns house to one of the houses OPP
posite. The story runs that George ~.
while prince regent, used to pay sur
reptious visits to the mysterious house
opposite" by mean of an underground
tunnel.
1t must be borne in mind. however,
that when Mrs. Siddons took the lease
she was sixty-two II the prince re-
gent. fifty-fve.
Incidentally. 1T is curious to recall
that illusions to a supposed subter-
ranea passage in Baker street We're
made In tho celebrated Drucc case.
