John Hays Hammond, the African
gold mining multi-millionaire, is the
latest recruit to the ranks of the
wealthy Westerners who will make
Washington his permanent home. He
has purchased an extensive property
in the capital, where he will erect a
palace that is calculated to put in the
shade the magnificent residences Of
Thomas F. Walsh and the Larz Ander-
sons. It is understood that he is to
expend half million on the house
alone, and that it will be surrounded
by generous lawns and an Italian gar
den. Mr.. Hammond was among the
foremost mining experts of California,
and early went to South Africa, where
he became affiliated with Cecil Rhodes
In the development Of the mineral re-
sources of the dark continent, and is
now reckOned as one of the richest
mine owners in the world. g
1t Will be year or more before
the new house will be completed, the
Hammonds meanwhile making their
temporary home at the Connecticut.
Mrs. Hammond is an enthusiastic mo-
tor!st, maintaining private garage
which includes several foreign touring

coming of the Hammonds will mean
much to entertaining Washington, as

FIGHT WITH BRIGAND .....s
IN LONE MOUNTAIN HUT

Geneva, Oct. 27.-The notorious bri-
giant, Giuseppe Crealin, who has long
been the terror Of the valley between
the .Lepontine Alps and Lake Magg-
fore, has been captured in his hut III In
the snow on the summit Of Mont Zelda,
after long and desperate fight with a
party of soldiers.
A year ago Crealin built a: hut on
Mont Zelda, $3.50 feet high. He plum
dered and terrorized the valley, and
then retreated thru the forests and
snowy heights to his mountain fast
ness. The local authorities made many
attempts to catch him, but the elusive
Crealin only laughed at them, and when
they thought they were close on his
tracks in the woods, he& was making
love to farmers daughter, while he
carefully noted the position Of her
father s household goods. = ezsSs:s5 .f.@
Police Dressed as Guides.
At last the local police appealed to
the Italian authorities, and dozen
special men were sent to capture Crea-
lin. They were dressed as guides, but
each man carried a rifle and a revolver
They divided up into pairs, and pros
ceeded cautiously thru the forest. There
they caught sight Of the nimble Crealin,
but he was too quick for them, and ef-
fectively" stopped them by setting fire
to belt Of dry wood that barred their
progress for some time, while it gave
him an opportunity to disappear in the
smoke. at%~.. " &%

The AIhambra crumbIIna.

Since more and more American
tourists visit Spain each year, the
news that the Alhambra, the Mecca
of all pilgrims to that country, is in
greater danger of total destruction
than ever before will arouse wide
spread interest in this country. The
government contributes 45, 900 pesetas
a year for it's preservation, but that
sum has proved quite inadequate for
present urgent needs, and one cannot
help wishing therefore, that some
wealthy American art patron might
immortalize himself by coming to the
rescue. That the Alhambra has sur
vived TO this day is in itself a marvel.
During its Ave centuries of existence
1t has been subjected to severe trials.
Shattered, at n time, by an explo-
sion, and shaken by earthquakes, 1t
has at other times sunk so low as to
be a %habitation of smugglers, and
even a stable for French army horses.
The present danger, explains the New
York Post. lies in the fact that the
foundations are being undermined by
water from the old ruined conduits.
Not only are the government appro-
priations insufficient to meet this o n
dition, but the situation is compli-
Gated by a quarrel among the three
directors. This has resulted in the
resignation, after 50 years of service
of the eminent expert in oriental arch
itecture. Senior Contreras. He has
restored many of the tiles, as well as
the figures n colors and the other
mural decorations, Illus giving a fair
idea of what the Moorish palace was
in the days of its glory.

Dead Leaves.

Dead leaves are of great value for

they are also good to keep out frost in
the winter. For banking around a
building to keep out the cold nothing
is better. They are useful for a Gov
ering for vegetables stored in the eel.
lar or buried out of doors. Sweet pc.
tatoes can be kept in leaves. They
can be used as a covering for the
flower beds in the fall to protect them
from freezing. They are useful for
protection to the strawberry bed and
any other plants that are in one place
for more than one season. They are
good to use as mulching material in.
stead of straw or refuse. They make
fine stable bedding in the winter and
are in good condition as manure fol-

make good litter for the poultry house
Grain can be scattered in the leaves

USE ROAD DRAG OFTEN.
Use Will Put Road in First-class Con
dition.

The King road drag does i~rst-class
work. Our road was in such a bad
shape that it was almost impossible to
travel, says a Minnesota farmer in
Farm and Home. l worked on it one
and one-half days and it put the road
in pretty good shape, a distance of
four miles, with hat amount of labor.
If l put in another day and a half the
road will be in fine condition.
1 think that one man, four horses
and the King drag will do just as
much and as good work or more, than
five men and some other graders. The
King drag should be weighted down
with the driver and 200 pounds be-
sides, the horses hitched ahead. If
all the farmers would own one of the
King drags and use the machine right
after a rainfall we could soon have
good roads.

Intensive Agriculture.

The possibilities of intensive agri-
culture are illustrated in the pot cul-
lures, where all the conditions Of irri-
cation, drainage and fertilization are
under control. 1t is declared by Prof.
Cyril G. Hopkins that three times as
large crops are grown in pots as in
the open field, and that when pot cul.
ture of plants is to be used for com
pairing field work it is fair to expect
from the fields only one-third as great
yields as are obtained from the pots.
This shows that the yield of the earth
may be increased at least three times
beyond what it is now. Under such
a system of agriculture, the world
would support three times it's present
population, even if the present popula-
ton were all it could support under
existing conditions.

Corn Cob Meal Good.

A dairyman who has long fed corn
and cob meal to his cows, says he has
found it one of his best feeds, but it is
better to add ground oats also. This
feed, he says, with corn silage and
some clover hay keeps the flow of
milk and its fat to the standard of
summer blue grass pasture. He urges
his neighbors to try his plan and says
his feed mill is n of his best invest
ments, thinking that grinding the ear
corn, cob and all, adds much to it's
value in feeding. He keeps as many
pigs as possible to feed his skim milk
to fresh from his separator.

CONCENTRATED DAIRY FOODS.
Results of Experiments Carried on at
Pennsylvania Experiment Station.

In experiments to determine the
best forms of roughage for dairy cow
along with concentrated foods, the
Pennsylvania station found that where
grass is not available silage was best
Some dry fodder or hay should be fed
along with silage. The experiments
show that corr slower a be used
to replace timothy hay with excellent
results and a considerable saving Of
cost. If grown in a rotation, timothy
hay should be sold and corn used for
the dairy animals.
Pure cottonseed meal contains a
larger per cent. of digestive protein
than gluten meal and is much richer
in fertilizing qualities. 1t will in most
cases prove the best feed to produce
milk and butter. AS ~cottonseed meal
is so often adulterated farmers should
require a guarantee of AZ to 46 per
cent. of protein.
Wheat bran is one of the finest Of
dairy feeds, but it contains only about
one-third as much protein as cotton
seed meal and it often costs about the
same per ton, therefore the dairyman
is paying three times as much for
each pound of protein. If the dairy
man is obliged to buy feed the most
concentrated will usually prove the
most economical.

the foundation being six feet below
the surface of the surrounding ground,
with tile drains below and an octago-
nal shingled roof. 1t is a little more

keep the silage level and well tramped

corn we Ear into the silo, as it keeps
better when it is packed. 1t is a good
plan while filing to wait until it set
ties, and then fill up the top again
nee or twice, which will allow you to
have better silage near the top layers.

Inerea.lna Soil Capacity

The population of the United States
was about 5,30S, 900 in 1900, while in
1900 it was 76,3 900. At the begin
ming of last century there were Sc
people in every square mile of the ter
ritory that composed the then repub-
lie. At the close of the century there
were ESQ in every square mile of the
country. AS all know, most of the
good land has been brought under cul-
tivation. 1t now remains to bring the
arid lands under cultivation and to
improve the cultivation of the good
lands. The process of robbing the soil
is being gradually stopped, as intelli-
gence increases, but the robbed lands
must now be brought back to their
first productiveness.

Dictated by the side of the box. These
are placed about eight inches apart
and nailed to two ends. The rear of
the box is cut so as to give a projec-

The idea is that when the framed
end is placed between two fence
boards the pieces A and c can be
nailed on securely and thus hold the

boards will pass through the portions
between A and B at both top and bot
tom.
