 In the more rigorous climates it may be advisable to cover the large opening in the front of the house with largs door containing a window, hinged at inc top. which can be let down in severe weather and protect the scratching shed from rain and snow.

BOUQUETS FOR KANSAS
Australia Pays Marked Tribute
 to Her Enterprise.
EXoELLED BY NONE, SAYS A PAPER

Rocl<hampton Newspaper, Comment ing on Work of Secretary Coburn of Agricultural Department, Says the State Made Greater Progress In Last Century's Last Quarter Than Any Other Part of the World.
 The greatness Of Kansas is recogniz- ed in faroff Australia, says a Topeka dispatch to the Kansas City Times. According to the Morning Bulletin of Rockhamrton, Queensland, copy of which was recently received by Secre- tary Coburn of the department of agri- culture. Kansas made greater progress in the last quarter of the last century than any other part of the civilized world The paper says:
 Bold as the statement appears, it may be made with every confidence in ability to demonstrate the truthfulness of it that in no part of the civilized world has human progress been so marked within the last quarter of the last century as in the state of Kansas, one of the United States of America. With rejoicing it is to be noted. more over, that this development has been due not to vast deposits of mineral wealth, but to the climatic conditions, the cultivable character of the soil and the enterprise and determination of the people by whom the country has been occupied.
 ''The eminence attained by Kansas may well be the envy of other states and stimulate the desire on the part of their occupants to use the means and methods by which it has been attained. These are freely indicated in the four teenth biennial report of the Kansas state board of agriculture for the years 1903 and 1904, copy of which has just reached us. It contains informa- tion relative to the farm and farm home and their betterment with de partments especially devoted to pota- toes and their production; modern dairying, railroads and their relation to agriculture, breeding, improvement, rearing and care of various live stock; sugar beets in Kansas, inexpensive roadmaking, Kansas at the worlds

fair in 1904 and agricultural sfatistc4 for the last twenty years.
 "The success of Kansas at the worlds fair was all the more creditabld that 1t was achieved in the face of great obstacles. The state, It must .be remembered, suffered two years In sue. cession from disastrous floods. These affected the yields of cereals, yet that of wheat in 1908 was record breaking and that of 1904 above the average. As Kansas possesses the largest apple or chard in the world and stands third In the list of states In number of fruit trees planted and growing, 1t is not to he wondered at that she received recogs nition from the judges even though the fruit was not as good as usual owing to the excessive rainfall. MT. Coburn is to be complimented on the admirable articles which he has combined In this biennial report and the precise and vo- luminous character of the statistics"
 Secretary Coburn has received a let- ter also from William McIlwraith. an editor in Queensland. The letter says in part:
 T am afraid am not always so care full in quoting my authority as I might be, but on the whole I do you justice. In connection with this matter let me tell you a local writer on agricultural subjects made free use of your reports and posed as an authority. He was an insurance agent when he began to in oculate the minds of agriculturists with the bacteria of Kansas ideas and expe- riences. He made a, noise, his notions took hold of politicians. and the other day he was appointed director of agri- culture for one of our states at salary of f75O year. attribute his exalta- ton very largely to the good use ha made of information derived from your reports"

MAKING POULTRY PAY.
Take Paina to Raise Just What Your Most Convenient Market Seems
 to Require.

There is one thing of as great im- portance in the business of rearing poultry as the feeding, breeding and management of the flock It is the business of finding good market and preparing the fowls for that market. It is true that anything that is well raised is half sold. But to say that anything is half sold is only half enough. We should be able to say that our stock is well fed, properly fitted and well sold When we are l able to reach this stage of the game < then we are in a position to state what the possibilities of the business are
 It will be- necessary to the market to be found for poultry supplies to know what the demand is for certain kinds. It will pay to cater to the demands of that market whatever they may be. Remember that desirable goods always sell the easiest. When market prices tains fair prices while the culls are held over When prices are ruling firm it is the best that brings top price.
 This is not a matter of theory to be written on paper and to be read so as to enthuse people. says the h. land Poultry Journal but it is to be put into practice and the persons who put it into practice the nest will be the ones to make the business a success. In every market there are those who follow out these lines and the poultry buyers know them and their goods are always satisfactory and in demand. When poultry is to be taken to market it is selected and only one grade is marketed at a time, and that grade is in demand when it is marketed. The undesirable stuff is never put on the market, and the deal. CT is of the opinion that there is noth- ing of this kind on the premises. Culls and old roosters are disposed of In some other way, even if they have to be given away.
 Let markets be studied as much as how to rear poultry. This is a matter that has more importance attached to it than is given credit. Study the market and try to meet it. It is an uphill business to try to make a market

tell which contained his treasure. Oniy by breaking them could he see. Even shaking would tell him nothing, for as the plaster was wet 1t was probable that the pearl would adhere to 1t, as, in fact. 1t has done. Beppo did not de spair, and he conducted his search with considerable ingenuity and persever- ance Through a cousin who works with Gelder he found out the retail firms who had b',ught the busts. He managed to find employment with Morse Hudson and in that way track ed down three of them. The pearl was not there Then, with the help of some Italian employee, he succeeded in find ing out where the other three busts had gone The first was at Harkers. There he was dogged by his confederate, who held Beppo responsible for the loss of the pearl. and he stabbed him in the scuffle which followed.'
 If he was his confederate. why should he carry his photographic" I ask eds
 AS a means of tracing him if he wished to inquire about him from any third person. That was the obvious reason. Well, after the murder l cal culated that Beppo would probably hurry rather than delay his move ments He would fear that the police would read his secret, and so he has tened on before they should get ahead of him. Of course could not say that he had not found the pearl in Harker's bust. I had not even concluded for certain that it was the pearl, but it was evident to me that he was look ing for something. since he carried the bust past the other houses in order to break it in the garden which had a lamp overlooking it. Since Harker's bust was one in three. the chances were exactly as l told you two to one against the pearl being in- side it. There remained two busts, and it was obvious that he would go for the London one first. I warned the inmates of the house, so as to avoid second tragedy. and we went down with the happiest results. By that time. of course, I knew for certain that it was the Borgia pearl that we were after. The name of the murder ed man linked the one event with the other. There only remained single bust, the Reading one, and the pearl must be there I bought it in your presence from the owner, and there it lies"
 We sat in silence for moment.
 Well" said Lestrade, i've seen you handle a good many cases, Mir Holmes. but I don't know that I ever knew a more workmanlike one than that. We're not jealous of you at Scotland Yard. No, sir; we are very proud of you, and If you come down tomorrow there's not man, from the oldest in spector to the youngest constable, who wouldn't be glad to shake you by the hand"
 Thank you" said Holmes Thank you' And as he turned away it seem ed to me that he was more nearly moved by tho softer human emotions than had ever seen him. A moment later he was the cold and practical thinker once more. Put the pearl in the safe. Watson" said he, and got out the papers of the Conk- Singleton forgery case Goodby, I.estrade.

(coNTINuED.l

When we met again next evening Le- etrade was furnished with much in formation concerning our prisoner. His name, it appeared. was Beppo. second name unknown. He WAS a well known ne'er-do-well among the Italian col ony. He had once been skillful sculp- tor and had earned an honest living, but he had taken to evil courses and had twice already been in jail-once for | petty theft and once, as we had all ready heard. for stabbing fellow countryman. He could talk English perfectly we'll. His reasons for de stroying the busts were still unknown, and he refused to answer any ques- tons upon the subject but the police had discovered that these same busts might very well have been made by : bis. own hands. since he was engaged ! ment of Gelder & Co. M
 To all this information. much of which we already knew. Holmes lis- tened with polite attention. but I, who knew him so we'll could clearly see that his thoughts were elsewhere. and detected mixture of mingled un- easiness and expectation beneath that mask which he was wont to assume. At last he started in his chair, and his eyes frightened. There had been a ring at the bell. A minute later we heard steps upon the stairs, and an elderly. red faced man with grizzled aide whiskers was ushered in. In his right hand he carried an old fashioned carpstbag, which he placed upon the table.
 'Ts MT. Sherlock Holmes here?'
 My friend bowed and smiled "Mr. Sandeford of Reading I suppose?" said he.
 "Yes, sir: I fear that I am little late, but the trains were awkward. You wrote to me about bust that is In my possession."& s'

 "I was very much surprised at your letter. for could not imagine how you knew that owned such thing"
 "Of course you must have been sur prised. but the explanation is very sim pie. Mir. Harding of Harding Bros. said that they had sold you their last copy and he gave me your address"
 .'Oh. that was 1t. was it? Did he tell you what paid fGr q tg;,7, lty;5 o2.s.
 "No. he did not"
 "Well. I am an honest man. though not very rich one. I only gave 15 shiIings for the bust. and think you ought to know that before I take f10 from you"
 'I am sure. the scruple does you hon or, Mir Sandeford. But have named that price. so intend to stick to it.'
 "Well. 1t is very handsome of you. MT. Holmes. I brought the bust up with me. as you asked me to do. Here it is. He opened his bag, and at last we saw placed upon our table com plete specimen of that bust which we had already seen more than once in fragments. t..Ef I

He carried on old fnshtoned cdrpctbag. A flush of color sprang to Holmes pale cheeks, and he bowed to us like the master dramat;st who receives the homage of his audience. It was at such moments that for an instant he ceased to be a reasoning machine and betrayed his human love for admiration and applause. The same singularly proud and reserved nature which turn ed away with disdain frAn popular mo- toriety was capable of being moved to its depths by spontaneous wonder and praise from friend.
 Yes, gentlemen" said he, it is the most famous pearl now existing in the world, and it has been my good for tune, by connected chain of induc- tive reasoning, to trace it from the Prince of Colonna's bedroom at the Dacre hotel. where it was lost, to the interior of this. the last of the six busts of Napoleon which were manu- factured by Gelder X Co. of Stepney. You will remember, Lestrade, the sen sation caused by the disappearance of this valuable jewel and the vain efforts of the London police to recover 1t. I was myself consuIted3 upon the case, but 1 was unable to throw any light upon it. Suspicion fell upon the maid of the princess, who was an Italian, and if was proved that she had a brother in London, but we failed to trace any connection between them.
