CHAPTER iX.-(Continued).

First, we have approached the
servants. The footman of the house
has proved dolt and incorruptible
He would have been useless had he
yielded to persuasion, for he appears
to have been born without sufficient
sense to act even under the bidding

has had any effect upon him and he
is discarded as useless.
In the second place. the female
servants have been worked upon. This
has been done with much success in
two cases, but, unfortunately, though
the women would have done what they
could for US, they appear to possess no
knowledge on the subject. 1t has not
been wasted effort, for we have OBJ
tanned valuable information in other
ways. We are now in possession of
the fact that the papers we are in
quest of are in the room known as the
Office, that they are kept in a safe
built into the wall there, and that the
key is never out of the possession Of
the commandant except when it is en-
trusted to his aide-de-camp."
There was a movement on the part

across at him and raised his eyes.

spoken and he was answering him.
But that is what I am going to dis

tion. The aide-de-camp is the object

suggestion to offer which may be of

There was moment of silence.
Then voice came from the distant
corner. There is one rule in the So

POTATO sCAB.

Potato scab is a fungus disease,
the spores of which are often found
lod ged on potatoes, the indication of
their presence being revealed by
scabbiness on the surface of the po-
tato. Where potatoes are grown from
year to year on the same ground
spores are apt to accumulate in the
soil, so that in this case the only ef-
fective method of remedying it is to
plant on a new soil after the potatoes
have been treated.
In a bulletin on the subject of po-
tato scab, prepared by the Wisconsin
station in the spring Of 1903, it is ad-
vised that solution be made by
pouring one pint of formaldehyde into
a cask containing Is gallons of water,
then distribute the liquid into sew
eral casks and into these put the un-
cut seed potatoes. The potatoes
should be placed in gunny sacks and
completely submerged in the liquid
and left for two hours; If the potatoes
are very scabby leave for two and one
half hours. This treatment will kill
the scab fungus on the seed potatoes
and the crop should be free if planted
on land that had not in previous
years grown scabby potatoes or in
any other way have become contami-
mated with the potato scab germs.
We strongly advise the treating of
potatoes for scab when there are any
symptoms Of this disease present. We
have known instances where prac-
tically the whole crop was lost, owing
to the fact that scab rendered them
unstable. Care, should be taken not
to treat the seed in cold weather, it
being much better to allow this task
to be put off until short time previ-
GUS to planting. While there are a
! number Of methods of reatfhn1g seed,
there is no question but what the for
maldehyde method is fully as good
as any, while at the same time there
is not the danger in it's use that there
is in the use of some Of the deadly
poisons.

PAINTING SPELLS
Cured by Dr.. Williams Pink Pills, the
Remedy Which Actually Makes

AnBmia makes the patient short Of

tom resulting from 8" too little blood''

me in a very weak condition. I be-

me suddenly and would fall to the floor
with hardly any warning.

but after he had been attending me
about month without any improve
ment in my condition, I decided to see
what DR.. Williams Pink Pills would do.
"The pills were well known to me
for, about two years before, members
of my family had taken them with the
best results. soon found that the pills
were just what needed for I soon be-

they do it we'll. Impoverished blood is
deficient in red corpuscles. Dr. Williams
Pink Pills increase the number of these
red corpuscles and in this way send

"n Love" and lovinu,

Being in love- is very different
from loving, and may be only selfish
emotion which is the direct opposite
of loving. Being in love without low
ing is bondage-sometimes pleasant
and sometimes painful, but always
bondage. True loving means freedom
freedom both for ourselves and, as
far as it is in our power to give it, for
all whom we love; for when we truly
love anothe rhuman being we love him
for the sake of his best. strength, his
best use, and his best happiness, and
not at all for the sake of ourselves.

TEACH THE Boys TO PLow.

: Some of our readers may doubt the
assertion, but it is true, nevertheless,
that very large pey cent. of the boys
on farms dc not kn now how to plow.
Too often the faultslies with the par
ent in not giving the boy instructions
at the beginnings r:Fhe young boys
start out to, ,.plow when scarcely old
enough to- handle the team and i'm
plement. Not beingyab to guide the
plow, it is the most natural thing in
the world for the boy to cling to the
handles and sendeavor to keep up with
the procession. The team is allowed
to weave from rightyto left, and leave
a furrow like a snake track. A boy
cannot swing*the plow at the corners,
and SO he throws It over and drags
around the ends. While driving one
day we noticed young man pretend
ing to cultivate an orchard of young
fruit trees. The horse was, walking
at his utmost speedj the lines were
swinging to and fro, the cultivator
was bobbing about like a tin can on a
dogs tail, and the boy was holding
to the handles of tie. cultivator and
being jerked along NTH the combina-
t1on. The soil wasE being scratched
over about like the {Ework of flock
of hens. e
The depth of plowing in gardens de-
pends on the formation of the soil
and soil layers and on the kinds of
crops that are to be grown. Land in
which the compact; clayey subsoil
lies but little below the, surface must
be plowed deep in the effort to deepen
the layer of tillable soil. There is lit
tie danger that such soil;; will leach,
however deeply plowed:. On the other
hand lands aandy and leaehy should
be. p1oWed not deeH Hgf than necessary,
as it is desired to compact the lower
soil by leaving it untouched by the
plow.
Land for any kind Of fruit or vege-
table growing should be we'll drained
either naturally or artificially. If it
gets warm and friable early in the
spring the probability is in favor of
its having natural under drainage.
It it is slow in getting into shape the
necessity for tile draining is indi-
Gated. Good drainage improves the
soil in two ways; it carries off the
superfluous water and changes the
texture of the soil to a condition more
favorable for plant growth. Well
drained clay soil is frequently i'm
proved by the freezing, which sep
arates the particles; the water being
taken away from underneath removes
the danger of "pudding," which would
repack the clay particles.

GROWING MEAT AN ART.

The art Of growing meat that best
suits the consumer has not yet been
mastered by the average grower as it
ought to be: AS, a rule, the proper
tion of lean in the average animal
shipped is too large; on the other
hand, some of the fine animals are
too fat, or they possess fat that has
been improperly laid on. The great
art in growing beef is to grow it in
such way that when finished the
fat and lean will be we'll mixed. This
is the class of meat that the retail
dealers want, as there is but little
waste in the fat of such animals. It
is class of meat which is in most
demand by consumers whose taste is
properly educated.
It. is not a wise plan to place cat
tie on the market that are half fitted.
Even though markets may be dull,
it does not pay, and it is usually true
that the poorer the markets the great
er will be the difference between the
prices paid for well-finished cattle and
those paid for lean animals. No mat
ter how low the prices may be, there
is always a demand for frst-class cat
tie, while with poor cattle, when the
markets are dull, the owner must take
a very low figure in order to get rid
Of them at ALL -:
The first object in feeding all young
stock should be-. to-! promote rapid
growth. The development of the
frame is the essential thing, and if
the effort is made! to fatten at the;

SEEDS OF PINES AND CEDARs.

1t is not generally supposed seeds
of pines and cedars do any better in
fertilized earth than in earth that has
received applications of manure But
these trees respond to a good supply
of plant food as much as do other
plants and trees Pines and cedars
are, however, slow growers, and in
the forests have the protecting shade
of other trees till they get start.
1t is, therefore, found to be best to
plant the seeds of these in beds where
they can be shaded partly during the
first two years, after which they may
be planted out into the timber belt or
forest plantation.
There are two periods of plant
growth when destruction of the vi
tality is most easily accomplished,
viz; when the germ first puts forth
and when seed formation begins In
cultivating lands the cheapest and
most perfect work is done when the
germ first comes to the light. Then
the mere stirring of the soil will de-
stroy all plants that spring from the
seed, while the best and most eff
cient work on grass lands and around
fences and road sides is by cutting
weeds and shrubs when the blossoms
begin to decay and the period of
growth is past.
In setting out plants the roots
should be spread out in theirs natural
position to reach as much moist feed
ing space as possible. Press the dirt
firmly about the roots More loss re-
suits from careless setting of plants
than from any other cause. AS rule,
all plants should be as deep when
dirt is pressed about them as before
taken from the nursery rows. +.

FATAL ACCIDENT
ON A DREDGER
CHARLES ANDERSON CAUGHT IN
THE MACHINERY
Sustains Injuries Which Result in His
Death a Few Hours Later.
Said to Have Been
Careless

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, May 16.-Charles An
derson, u years old, who had been em-
ployed for eight months as a mate on
the North American Dredging COM
pany's suction dredger, now engaged
in excavating for the inner harbor
here, was caught in the machinery of
the dredger about $3.50 O'Clock this
morning and received injuries from
which he died about $3.50 o'clock this
afternoon
Anderson tried to step over some
gearing wheels and his right foot was
caught in the spokes of one of them.
He was thrown into the air and over
the wheels. His right leg was entirely
severed about midway between the
knee and hip and his left leg was
broken at the same place.
The man fell to the deck of the
dredger between the wheel and the
foundation timbers. Physicians were
summoned and he was removed In an
ambulance to private hospital. Until
late this afternoon it was thought his
life could be saved, but he died short
time after being operated upon.
The captain of the dredger says that
Anderson's work did not call him to
the part of the dredger where the acci-
dent occurred and that it is very unsafe
for. anyone to venture where he did.
Anderson was a native of Sweden.
He came to this country two years ago.
He is survived bAa brother who is en-
ployed as deckhand on the dredger.

STANDARD OIL
TO GARFIELD
z---
DENIES THAT SECRET RATES
ARE PRACTICED
Statement That Company Saves $780,
900 Year Through Freight Rates
Is "Mere Theory"-share-
holders Get Facts
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 16.-The Standard
Oil company today issued to its share
holders statement in reply to the
special message recently sent to con-
gress by President Roosevelt, and the
report on the country's oil industry by
Commissioner Garfield of the bureau of
corporations, which accompanied it.
The statement is signed by C. NJ.
Pratt, secretary, and was issued by
order of the board of directors.
1t denies positively the charge that
the Standard OIL company benefited by
secret rates for the transportation of
it's products.
The statement declares that the esti-
mate that the company saves $750,00O
a year through the operation of certain
freight rates could only be arrived at
by theorizing.
The statement in part says:
''If the claim of Commissioner Gar
field is true that the Standard Oil COM
-pany is favored by open rates, it would
involve not only collusion between the
railroads and the Standard Oil COM
pany, but collusion by the railroads
with each other"
