ENEMIES OF DAT PRODUCTION.

Rust and smut are two of the chief enemies of oat production. Little can be done against the former except by selecting and breeding varities resist ant to it's attacks. but there is no ex- cuse for smut, says Farming. It is transmitted only by seed grain and can be entirely eradicated by treating the seed with a solution of one pound of formalin GAO per cent formalde- hyde) in 45 gallons of water. Seed should be thOrou9hly wet with this solution, piled and covered with a few sacks or blankets for a few hours. If drilled soon after treatment sow one half bushel more to the acre to allow for swelling. If stored it should be Thoroughly dried before being put in bins. Seed grains may be easily be re- injected by coming in contact with smutty sacks or drill boxes.

Years ago we did not dare send out a

rather apologizing for her lack of youth.
But that's all over now. and when man
wants a thoroughly experienced woman
to look after his confidential mail aud

every time to such a woman as the ad-
vertisements describe as not under 30.

such woman must be prepossessing in

looks and an attractive manner go a long

In the homes of almost all Japanese
families which entertain foreign guests
there is one room In foreign style. 1t is
the common regret of tourists that they
rarely see even a glimpse of the real
Japanese life, as when they call at such
homes they are invariably entertained In
these apartments. Usually, though not al
ways, these rooms are in extremely poor
taste from a western standpoint just as
did we attempt Japanese interior we
should undoubtedly fail utterly of the

guest may be disappointed in not being re-

he had been robbed of 5000 in gold and
that key to his front door had been
taken from a bunch of keys which he

When the key was taken or how is a
mystery to Powers, who does not recol-

during Monday when a person could
have detached the one to the front door.
Detectives are now investigating the
theft
1t has been learned that entrance was
made by the way of the front door,
which had been opened and relocked as
the burglar left
1t is said to have been one of the
boldest robberies ever committed in Los

say, the work of a professional burglar

Mr.. Powers, however, has no recollection
of any one entering his store who could

NEW YORK, July 9,-Two detectives

town for the record of Evelyn Nesbit-
Thaw before she came to New York
When they have finished with Pitts
burg the two detectives are to go to
Philadelphia and trace the girls move
ments there.
While in Pittsburg these detectives
will also probably seek evidence TO re-
flute a story published here today to
the effect that months before the trag-
edy of Madison Square roof garden,
Stanford White sought, by payment of
enormous bribes, to set on foot a cam
paign of vilihcation against Harry K.
Thaw in Pittsburg to accomplish the
young mans ruin. 1t is alleged White
sent an agent to Pittsburg and through
this agent an attempt was made to
bribe Pittsburg journalist to ruin
Thaw.
This agent, it was declared, was Of
fered $4,000 as a retaining fee and un-
limited money to be spent in a syste-
matte campaign to bring discredit upon
Thaw.
This was less than a year ago and
shortly after the marriage of Harry

News Kept From Mother of New York
Murderer Until Yesterday

TJLBURY, England, July S.-The
news of the tragedy in the Madison
Square roof garden. New York city, on
June %, when Harry E. Thaw shot and
killed Stanford White, had not been
communicated to his mother, Mrs.
Thaw, when the Atlantic transport line
steamer Minneapolis from New York
June 20, docked here this morning.
Extraordinary precautions were taken
on board to keep any inkling of the
tragedy from her until relatives
were able to break the news. Mrs.
Thaw, who has been unusually cheer
full throughout the voyage, was met by
her son-in-law. the earl of Yarmouth,
and Blair Thaw, who came to Tilbury
to welcome her. Her face was wreathed
in smiles when she landed,
On her arrival in London Mrs. Thaw
was driven to the residence of the earl
of Yarmouth where the news of the
tragedy at New York were broken to
her She bore up splendidly under the
blow, but has not decided upon her
future movements.
