CROKER DIES OF HURTS.
Victim of Collision Between Automobile
and Motor Cycle on Florida Beach
Dies at Hotel.

Ormond, Fla, Jan. 23.-Frank Croker,
injured in an automobile accident ON the
Ormond-Daytona beach, died yesterday
morning. His body, with that of his
chauffeur, Raul, viii be shipped to New
York. Mrs. Croker, the mother, and
Miss Croker, his sister, were informed Of
the young mans death at Jacksonville
and decided to return at once to New
York, telegraphing to have the body sent
on.
Croker sacrificed his own life and that
Of his chauffeur in the effort to save the
life of Stanley, the man on the motor
cycle. Cookers machine, eye witnesses
say, must have been going at the rate
of forty seconds to the mile. Croker did
not see the cyclist until he was almost
on him. He then made the fatal attempt
to turn the machine too quickly. The
front wheels struck a piece of soft sand,
turned, and a tire came off. The rest of
the machine plunged forward on two
wheels, after which the vehicle became
unmanageable.
Had not Croker attempted so sudden a
turn he would have dashed the motor
cyclist to death, but doubtless would have
saved the lives Of himself end chauffeur

opinion on the coal mine proprietors and

ported. Drafts of police from other
parts Of Prussia continue to arrive in the
strike district. Considerable quantities
Of coal from Belgium, France and Great
Britain are coming in. A general cessa
tlon OF the coal i'll using industries is not
likely in the immediate future. Thir-

Stirring Cooking Food.


Where more or less food for stock
is cooked, some handy way Of stirring
it ought to be devised. Of course, the
old-fashi0ned ladle, or the great wood
en- spoon, is always available, hut if
the quantity is large, to use these in
struments means aching arms and
shoulders. A stirrer which will save
much labor is readily made in the fol-
lowing manner. Make a shaft Of a
strip Of wood two inches thick and
long enough SO that it will extend
three or four inches above the top Of
the kettle. At the bottom Of this shaft
make paddles by crossing two thin
boards two or three inches wide.
Fasten q crank to the top Of the
shaft and to this crank fasten a pole,
Or not as preferred. Then prepare a
strip Of board six Or eight inches wide,
bore hole through the middle,
through which to pass the shaft,
match both ends to fit over the handle
of the kettle and at one end fix a
slide and a set screw to bold it In
place. If the cooking Of the food
for stock is done away from the
house, as it ought to be, one should
build fireplace of bricks and cement
IN which to set the kettle. The illus
tration shows both the fireplace, Or
pot, as suggested, and the plan for
making the stirrer and it will be seen

CALL HIM "BLUEBEARD"
WITH SRCRET POISON.
Police Declare That John Hoch May
Have knowledge of Chemical
That Kills Without Trace.

Chicago, Ill.,, Jan. 23.-That John
Hoch, whom the police allege to be a
modern bluebeard, is an expert chemist,
and may possess knowledge Of a secret
poison, was the declaration Of Police In
spector Shippy today. The inspector
says he has evidence that Hoch was
druggist some years ago and compound
ed many poisons.
The police say Hoch has many aliases
and that he has served at least two SEN
fences for surreptitiously selling furni-
ture purchased on the installment plan.
This man is poisoning me- are the
words Mrs. William Steinbrecker told
the police, today, that her mother-in-law
said shortly before death, ten years ago.
Hoch is said to have disposed of proper
ty valued at $4,000 after his wifes death.
The police now assert they have evil
dence that Hoch has had at least ten
wives in as many years. The police also
declare that one after another, the Wom-
Ell have died suddenly, soon after mar
riage.

Some Incubator Hints.

Do not turn the eggs for three days
from beginning the hatch, nor after
the nineteenth day.
See that the incuba tor sets perfectly
level, otherwise the egg chamber will
be warmer in one place than another.
Use only the best oil, and feed and
trim the lamp every morning, no mat
ter hew long it might burn without
doing this.
Open the egg chamber only when
turning the eggs. Take the eggs out
to turn them, and shut the egg cham
Der while they are out. Let the eggs
cool for from ten to thirty minutes, ac-
cording to the weather, every day.
Keep the temperature as near 1O3
degrees as possible, but do not worry
If it runs up to 105 degrees, or as low
as 90 for a short time. Watch the
size of the lamp fame, and keep it as
nearly the size that will produce the
proper temperature as possible.
Do not open the egg chamber after
the chickens begin to pip the shell,
even If some chick seems to be having
a hard time to get out A chick that
cannot get out Of the shell without
help is not worth saving. If the chicks
gasp and struggle, do not bother them
1t Is good for them.

Sowing Peas in the Fall.

Market gardeners are familiar with
all Of the plans which will enable them
to get crops on the market early. Near
some of the large cities these men
grow nothing but the early varieties of
all classes, doing nothing with the mid
season and late sorts. Their plan of
raising early peas is to prepare the
ground in the fall just as thoroughly
as they would in the spring, and just
before the ground freezes hard they
SOW the very early hardy varieties,
drilling them in not over two inches
deep. Mulch is then put over them for
the winter and as soon as the ground
can be worked in the spring, cultiva-
ton begins, as if the seeds were spring
sown. The result Is generally a very
early crop that brings the highest mar
ket price. The plan is worth a trial
by any one located near a good mar
ket.

Kill Off the Cabbage Lice.

Cabbage aphis Is one Of Our worst
cabbage pests. The lice multiply very
rapidly when conditions favor them
and are a source of great loss and
annoyance. They may be killed only
contact; ordinary poisons have no eff
feet on plant lice. Kerosene emulsion
diluted with 10 parts Of water, applied
thoroughly to the lower side of the
leaves when cabbage plants are small,
is effective in measure. Fumigating
seed stocks in spring with carbon BIZ
sulphide gets rid Of the original brood.
The pest is nasty and should be treat
ed wherever found-Farm and Home

Sheep Shearings.


The way to keep ideal sheep is by
trying to improve them.
Sheep are always improving Or they
are deteriorating
Stationary troughs and racks are not
desirable in the sheep stable.
Ewes will produce larger and batter
lambs If in plump condition at time of
mating.
At weaving, If possible, the ewes
should be placed in field out of hear
ing Of the lambs.
An uneven lot Of good sheep are bet
ter than an uneven lot Of poor ones.
It Is well to place the ewes on short
pasture for a week or more after the
lambs are weaned.
In fattening sheep especially, pune
tuality in feeding should be strictly
observed.
In many cases, after the corn Is laid
by, the sheep may be turned into the
cornfield to good advantage.
Sheep are easily managed, are first
class fertilizing machines, good farm
scavengers and yield two harvests an
nually.

Hand PIow for Snow.

When there is such quantity OF
ground to be cleaned Of snow as is
found around the average farm home,
something more than the ordinary
snow shovel Is needed. If the snow
Is deep and the space to be cleared
considerable, then one should bring
into use a large pillow with the horse
to pull it. For hand plow nothing
is better than the simple one made in
the following manner:
Select two pieces Of board free from
knots, each three feet long and six
inches wide. Bevel the end of each
board and nail them together in the
form of Y. If necessary they may
be braced at the wide end by strip
three inches wide and the necessary
length. Then put in a pole five feet
long with a cross piece at the upper
end. To strengthen the end in which
the handle is inserted cut block Of
wood as large as possible, and fit it
