How Political Suspects Disappear.
That is the way the citadel appears
to the casua! visitor, but it is alto
gether different to the Polish political
suspects. When for some reason or
other suspicion falls upon a person,
he or she is seized by the gendarmes
and the house searched. Then the
prisoner is taken to the citadel and
into the office of what is known as
the tenth pavilion" There he is
photographed and his valuables taken
from him. Men and women all re-
ceiye the same treatment, as there are
no female warders in the citadel

Keep. The Hens Hanpx.

One of the ways of increasing the
egg supply is to keep the hens happy
and contented, and two ways of doing
this are to have scatterings of grain
through the chaff on the floor so that
the fowls will keep busy scratching,
and the second way is to see that the
dust boxes are placed in the corner
which catches the most sun during the
winter. Ideal dust boxes are strong
soap boxes filled with road dust, into
which has been mixed a little fine
lime and a liberal supply of insect
powder. Soil from the garden IL It
is light and well dried will answer
the purpose quite as well. 1t is an
excellent plan to remove all this dust
from the boxes every little while and

sirable which has gotten into it, then

thinly and let 1t dry thoroughly. Most
of it can be used repeatedly If new

Lettuce Tint ne,,,t, D,,e,.e.

Lettuce Tint Resists Disease.
II The. earlier reports are to be relied
upon, the experts In greenhouse Gull
ture at Washington have discovered
something of value In connection with
dollhouse lettuce. BY crossing seeds
of healthy winter lettuce with yarie-
ties related to the wild lettuce and
selecting the results with care. it is
alleged that a variety has been Sc
cured which is practically free from
disease and which yet has lost moth
Ing of the finer qualities Of the highly
bred varieties of lettuce commonly
grown in greenhouses. A lettuce
which is not liable to mildew, rot, ETC.,
would certainly be prize for the
lettuce specialists. 1t is stated that
the seed will be furnished to the
greenhouse men by the Department of
Agriculture. and that great results
are expected.

Doe. Electric Culture Pay.

The practical effect of electric light
upon greenhouse crops is to be thor
oughly tested at the Washington De
partment of Agriculture. This meth
cd has been tried with lettuce for
a number of years by large grower
in the vicinity of Boston, and is
claimed to have been attended with
profitable results. The majority of
growers remain ."eptical and the sys-
TEN has met with slight progress.
During the present year careful tests
will be made at Washington, not only
with lettuce, but with other vege-
tables commonly grown in hothouses.
and no doubt it will be determined
whether the extra cost OF using cleo
tricity Will be repaid by the increase
in the crop.

Too Much corn For swine.

Too Much Corn For Swine.
Every winter or rather at the end
Of every winter we hear tales Of
rheumatism in swine. intense tndi-
gestion, bowel trouble and all sorts
of diseases for which no cause can be
found, yet in the majority of cases 1t
Is plainly too much corn. 1t is, of
course, quite natural to feed heavily
Of corn, because 1t is the cheapest
thing we have to feed swine, but what
profit Is there in it when 1t is over
done? We had some fine half-grown
pigs who had several attacks Of severe
indigestion. and we cut out the corn
for a week. In Its place we fed bran,
mixed with chopped vegetables, and
fed warm; this was given morning
and night, and at noon the animals
were given lot of second-grade hay
and few sweet potatoes. Not full
ration by any means, and the pigs fell
off In weight, but at the end Of the
week the trouble was gone and they
would eat anything offered them.
From then on the corn ration was cut
down SO that it was about one-half a
full ration, and we used more bran,
skim milk, root crops and roughage,
and we cannot see but what the AMI
mails are all that any ration would
have made them, and they are GER
tainly in excellent condition to be
corn-fattened when the time comes.

Success In raising forest trees from
seeds depends upon having the seeds
properly preserved during the winter.
They must not be allowed to get too
dry. nor must the moisture and tenn
perature be such that termination will
be commenced before they are sown,
nor should they be exposed to such a
low temperature that the vitality Of
the embryo will be impaired. When
In doubt how best to preserve tree
seed, mix it with about twice Its bulk
of damp sand-not wet sand, but
good sharp sand, just as 1t is dug out
of the bank. The seed thus mixed
with sand should be placed where 1t
will be Mt an even temperature of
few degrees above freezing, and where
mice and other vermin will not get at
1t. Nuts Of the hard-shelled kind es-
peclally should not be allowed to get
too dry

That is the kind of cattle that 1t pays
best to raise. 1t does not take any
more time daily to feed an animal that
Will make one of the choice kind than
1t does to feed one that will rate far
down in the list. Moreover, it will not
require SO many days of care, for It
sometimes happens that the choice an
tmal is one that has made his growth
In years less time than the poorer
animal. The choice animal is probably
always a pure-bred animal or high
grade.

Food For Fnttening PIGS.


When they reach weight of about
one hundred pounds the amount of
exercise allowed should be curtailed,
and the food then given should con-
sist Of boiled potatoes, well broken
and mixed, when hot with quantity
of raw Indian meal. After the pigs
have eaten as much as they appear
to require, small quantity of but
termilk, skimmilk, or kitchen refuse.
If available, may be added to induce
them to clean up all the food given.
The quantity Of food which pig
should receive is Just what the anil
NAL will eat up clean. Turnips and
mangels are sometimes given, but
potatoes are to be preferred. Pigs
being fattened should be fed three
times n day. This is point which
may be regarded as very simple, yet
it is one of great Importance. 1t Is
most essential that pigs should be fed
regularly, and whether the food is
given twice or three times day, it
should be given Invariably at the same
hours. The food ought to be brought
to temperature of ninety degrees by
direct heating or by the aid Of hot
water, for when this is done much
of the heat-giying matter Of the. food
is saved for the production Of fat.
The amount Of food required to pro-.
duce certain increase in weight at
different ages varies. Carefully con-
Quoted experiments have clearly prov
ed that as the weight of the pig in
creases the amount of food required
to produce given increase becomes
larger.

A LATE EASTER.
Day Does Not Come, This Year. Until
Sunday, April %,

The joyous Easter Sunday will come
unusually late, this year not arriving
until April %. and its late arrival will
both young and old, as well as to such
men as make of the day an occasion of
appearing out in their smartest clothes
1t happens but few times in a life
time that Easter Sunday falls on a
date late enough in the year to allow
Maine people to wear real spring hats
and garments on that day. but this
year will be an exception for Easter
Sunday will be unusually late in arriy-
ing.
The manner of fixing the date of
Easter Sunday is something known to
but small proportion of the people of
the Christian world. Notwithstanding
the general celebration of Easter The
average person can not fix the date
without looking the matter up and to
the question. how is the date of Eas-
ter fixed?" the usual reply is that the
person does not know.
The moons phases fix the date of the
festival. BY the ecclesiastical calen-
Oar, Easter is the Sunday following the
first full moon after the vernal equinox
and this year the moon is in its full
but seven hours before the vernal
equinox. The vernal equinox occurs
this year on March y ut 1.51 o'clock
and the full moon on the evening be-
fore at 104 o'clock. making Easter
Sunday come nearly a month later. If
the moon fuled a few hours later Eas-
ter Sunday would have come on March
26 instead of April %.
In looking over the dates on which
Easter Sunday has fallen in past years
it will be seen that in but two in
stances has it fallen later in April and
but once on the same date as this year
during the past century. In 1856 Eas-
ter Sunday fell on April 25 the latest
of which there is any record and, ac-
cording to the calendar. it will not be
equalled during the present century.
In 1859 the date was April "A ard in
1S4S on April %. 1t has fallen few
times only on April % during the past
century and. on the average, comes
near the middle of the month The
earlist date on which Easter Sunday
has arrived is March - i'm 1915 A
repetition of this will not occur uD to
the year 1000 or during the lives of the
people now living.
