Mourning at bussard, Ray,

BUZZARDS BAY, Mass, April 24.- The progress of Joseph Jefferson's last Illness was followed anxiously in this his Cape Cod home, and the announce ment of his death was received with genuine sorrow by the tpwnspeople, to whom he had become a familiar figure during fifteen years of summer resi- dence here. The usual spring prepara. tions at the Jefferson summer cottage, at the head of Buttermilk bay, have been in progress for some weeks, 1t being Mir. Jefferson's custom to take up his residence here about the middle of May. His summer neighbors were former President Grover Cleveland, with whom he enjoyed many fishing excursions down Buzzards bay and along the brooks of Bourne and Sand. wich, and General Charles H. Taylor of Boston. His princial pastime. how ever, was painting. He took deep in- tefsst in the affairs of the town. It Is understood that interment will be made here.

GOOD FLOWING MAKES GOOD
CROPS.

We find the following in an ex-
change credited to Elk. The general
idea of the article Is correct. but
there is one mistake-it is not neces-
sary to invert the soil. unless there
is trash on the land that needs to
be covered up. The only important
thing is to be sure that the soil is
thoroughly pulverized.
1t is not always the best looking
pillow fallow that is the best broken
land. A pillow constructed like gouge
that slides under the turf and inverts
it without breaking it, looks well,
but for the production of crop it
prepares the land badly. Many of the
plows now on the market are con-
structed so as to bring the least
draught upon the team, and this by
many is considered the perfection OF
the plow-the least draught for a
given depth But may we not be lab
oring under mistake in this? The

THE VALUE OF GUINEAs.

Though guineas are not as service
able as hens when confined-give
them their liberty and they can be
raised with such small expense as to
return a handsome profit, both in
flesh and eggs Naturally wild, they
hide to lay their eggs, but often be-
tray themselves by the noise they
make, hence. if one will watch them
going to their nests or coming off,
they can easily be detected They
generally consist of a little cup
shaped receptacle followed out in the
earth, and will sometimes be found
running over with the little brown
eggs, for guineas are prolific layers.
The eggs are rich and well favored
too, and preferred by housekeepers
for cake and other nice cooking, the
yolks in them being much larger in
proportion than in hens eggs; taken
dozens for dozens, their food value is
about the same. Unfortunately, how
ever, guinea eggs do not always sell
we'll in the market, but they may be
kept for home consumption and thus
increase the number of hens eggs for
sale. The guinea as rule is hardy
bird.-The Rural Californian.

TIE Cabinet and the Presidency.

1t is almost fifty years since Presi.
dent was elected who had previous
cabinet experience. James Buchanan
was Secretary of State in Folks ad-
ministration and returned from the
legation in London to run for the
Presidential nomination.
To be sure, in earlier days the cabi-
net was considered a stepping stone
to the White House. but this condition
ceased long ago So apparent is the
fact that Senator Hoar once charac-
terized the cabinet as the place for
an ambitious man to end his ambi-
lions in.
1t is not the intention here to show
that Secretary Root cannot be nomi-
mated for President. but to demon
strate that If he is accorded the honor
it will be because he is deserving
of the confidence bestowed upon him.
and not because he has any advan-
tage of political infiuence.-Elmira

New Petroleum Deposits in Asia.


Europe as well as America is inter-
ested in the discovery and exploita-
ton of new petroleum deposits, and
at present Mesopotamia is the coun-
try to which attention is being di.
rected. There have been discovered
in the province of Bagdad, near the
Tigris and north of Samara, num-
Der of rich springs. while on the Eu-
pirates near Hit similar springs also
have been found. On account of the
brigands this district does not af-
ford good opportunity for prospect
ing and development, but in the Ker-
kuk district the future for such ac-
tivity is much more promising. ana
not only petroleum. but also coal. is
found, the former being used for light
ing by the natives, while the coal
has been tried on the Tigris steam
ships, proving, however, too bitum.
nous. There is every evidence that
the petroleum deposits are extensive
and will repay ample working, but
it is believed that the completion of
the Bagdad railway and increased
shipping facilities ON the Tigris must
be provided before they can be
turned to practical account.-Har-

The Aristrocratic Robin.

When that most gracefully built
bird of all. the robin. runs across the
lawn he is the poetry of motion, the
quick alert fellow of action. The robin
is great nuisance when the nest Is
undergoing repairs or has to be re-
built. for he everlastingly bothers the
lady robin while she goes about her
fine art of nest-building. Does he ever
assist in the good work? Not he. He
will not soil his pretty bill with one
bit of lint or moss, or anything neces-
sary for the nest. After the little
fellows are Matched he becomes a
genuine old heller. ana will hover the
nest while the lady is away for worms
for her young. He may once in a
while forget his lordlings and bring a
worm for his lady. but as for food for
his offspring. the fuzzy little fellows
would starve were they to depend up
on papa robin for food. He seldom
bothers about the little ones first
attempts. and will sit perched handily
by while mama tackles the delightful
task. But let danger approach the
young or the mate, and 10 and behold
Mr.. Robin becomes a genuine fighter.
and will draw near to the jaws of
death boldly and without hesitation.
He is a great lover. poor provider.
a bad worker, a fine nurse-if not
called upon to do more than hover
the nest; but in the time of danger
he is success, regular knight and
a bold defender of his family.-out-

PLANT LICE AND THEIR TREAT
MENT

1t often happens that fruit trees as
we'll as. other plants are seriously In
.jured by the attack Of aphides. or
plant lice as they are more commonly
called. They are most likely to ap--
pear If the climatic or other condi'
'tions are unfavorable to the growth
of the trees and Of course these
should be corrected as much as pos
sible. While much can be done by
enriching the land and bringing II
into a good mechanical condition.
thorough shallow cultivation to hoid
the moisture in a dry season Is the
best lice preventive measure.
1t often happens. however, that the
lice become so abundant as to do
much harm to trees especially Wnile
they are young. 1t will then become
necessary to use some form of spray
For this purpose there is nothing bet
ter than some form of tobacco decoc-
ton. Although rather expensive for
general use the best results are oo-
tanned from some of the concentrated
extracts of tobacco that are on the
market Tobacco stems from a cigar
factory afford a cheaper source ana
If the decoction is properly prepared
1t will be found quite effectual. from
half bushel to three pecks will make
so gallons of decoction strong enough
to kill ordinary plant lice. 1t will be
well to pour hot water over the stems
and after it has cooled the barrel can
be filled up with cold water. When
the water has been poured OF, the
barrel may be about half filled with
water again without replenishing the
tobacco.
Although less effectual than tobac-
co water, kerosene emulsion OF the
strength recommended for the scale
will give very good results. Ona
great difficulty in spraying for the de-
struction of plant lice is that as
result of their presence the leaves
tend to roll about them and the spray
does not reach them This can be to
some extent counteracted by using
nozzle that will spray the under side
of the leaves. With good pressure
much benefit can be obtained. Es-
pecially in cases where the, leaves are
badly curled the addition of one pound
of pyrethrum powder to so gallons OF
kerosene emulsion will add to its
efficacy as while the kerosene only
kills by actual contact, the pyrethrum
gives off volatile oil that is fatal to
insects. Care should be taken that
the powder is fresh and that the ap-
plication is very thorough. H.

herorm That Was Too Thorough.

Old Lady Colburn was giving her
granddaughter some good advice. the
week before her wedding. Now. IT'S
all very fine for you to have these
plans for making John over-if ne
needs it," said the old lady. He may
have some ideas about reforming
few habits of yours, my dear-out
you don't want to go too far, either
of you. and yoA want to be pretty
careful what you say.
when | was a girl. somebody told
me the story of young woman VINO
made the young man she married
promise her he would have nothing to
do with smoking Well. that was al
right enough. but he'd never been an
Incorporate smoker, and he missed
the little soothing he'd been accustom-
ed to get from his pipe once in a
while.
But if ever she saw him looking at
it she'd remind him. You promised
me never to have anything to do with
pipes or smoking when we were mar
ried.'
Then one day the kitchen stove
acted like all possessed-flled the
room full of smoke. She said she
thought the stovepipe needed clean
ing: sut he-he was kind of stub
born, same as most men are at times
he just sat there and said. I prom
ised you when we were married never
to have anything to do with pipes or
smoking. and this comes under both
heads
And she had to go for the stove

considerable man, most ways. her hus-
band was. You just bear in mind that
little circumstance when you're max
ing John over."-Youth's Companion.

TO FATTEN FOWLS.

There are those who say, and with
a deal of truth, that fowls are unfit
for the table when taken from the
yards where they have run at large.
They say that in order to have them
in prime condition they must bercon-
fined in darkened coops for at least
two weeks, and be fed all they will
eat of cornmeal, rice, potatoes and
other fattening foods. They must he
given pure water and milk, with grit
and a small dust bath. At the end
Of this time they will be fat and ten
der and their flavor will be the best.
Where possible, keep only few in
each coop, as six will do much better
than double the number. Do not feed
green food, but give all they will eat
of those kinds mentioned.

DIPPING HOGS.

The main purpose of dipping hogs.
says an exchange, is to destroy lice,
but it undoubtedly has some advan-
tage in keeping out disease. AS to
whether it will pay will depend on
conditions. If man is very careful
with his hogs-renews the bedding Of
ten, burns the old bedding, does not
allow them to have filthy pens and
does not have too many in a bunch
and feeds them rightly, there is u.s.
ually no need for a dip. But under
prevailing conditions, the small outlay
in cost is insignificant for value re-
ceived.
A swine grower says he has had
great success in using Zenoleum for
both hog and sheep dipping and it
costs him much less than other dip
to rid his stock of lice and ticks.

THE FALL GARDEN.

Where irrigation can be practiced
as In south Texas it Is usually In the
fall garden where the greatest profits
are realized. If cabbage, cauliflower
and tomatoes are desired for the
Thanksgiving trade seed must be
planted in time. During the hot
weather it is especially difficult to OBJ
tain good growth especially with cab
bage and caulifiower plants. The
seeds beds should be shaded for best
results and special care must be
given to watering, and also to protec-
ton from insects. Keep tobacco
stems on the ground, and have the
plants covered with arsenate of lead
from the time they appear above
ground. Whale oil soap should al
ways be at hand ready for use against
lice and other sucking insects.
A great many truckers have moved
into south Texas on the new Browns
Vile railroad. and they will be rails
ing their first fall crop this year.
These growers should be especially
careful not to introduce on Their vir-
gin soil the black rot disease OF the
cabbage and caulifiower. This dig
ease has nearly destroyed the land
for raising these crops in older south
Texas sections. and it is to be borne
in mind that the disease is brought
into the country on cabbage and seed.
If you would keep the disease from
your fields 1t can be easily accom-
plished by treating the seed for fif-
teen minutes in a disinfecting solu-
ton of one part of corrosive subli-
mate in one thousand parts OF water,
or one pound of formalin in thirty
gains of water. The treatment does
not injure the seed in the least and
it is almost sure to prevent the intro
duction of the most destructive cab
bage and caulifiower disease known.
