later in New York City, where he had
already proposed marriage TO another
woman, who had a boarding house
and some money. This woman had
seen Hoch's picture in the newspapers
with an account of his crimes. She
recognized the likeness, and lost no
time in notifying the police of her sus-
picions. Hoch was arrested and re
turned to Chicago to stand trial for
the murder of Mrs. Welcker Hoch.
The chief evidence against the &C
cused was furnished by Mrs. Emelie
Fisher, sister of the dead woman and
later the wife of Hoch. Two weeks
ago the same woman created a sensa-
ton by going to Springfield and ask
ing of Governor Deneen a respite for
the condemned man, declaring at the
same time that all of her testimony
at the trial was perjured.

New Cure for Hog Cholera.

DR. NJ Dorset Of the bureau of animal
industry, department Of agriculture, has
obtained Il patent for process of pro-
tecting swine from hog cholera, which
patent he has given to the United States
without one cent Of compensation. His
method is the injection of serum from
the blood of an immune hog after that
immune has been treated similarly with
the serum from hogs afflicted with the
disease.
Heretofore the treatment for h0E chol
era has been the injection of the cholera
virus directly About 20 per cent Of
the treated animals have died. Farmers
throughout the country are eager for a
sure cure, on account Of the great loss
when an epidemic OF cholera strikes their
swine herds.
1t is estimated that the roney value
of hogs that die annually from this dis
ease is about $15,000.009 the figures for
the last five years beng ST.. 100000.
The invention of DIR. Dorset may be
used by anw of the employees of the
United States government or by any 9TH
er person in the United States without
the payment of royalty.

Bermuda HaY.

Two and one-half acres of abandoned
orchard soil on the upland farm of the
experiment station at Saltwater, Ok,
were planted to hardy Bermuda grass,
June % and 30. 1909 The first cutting
of hay from this planting was made
September -. 1905, yielding 1854
pounds of cured hay per acre. The rain
fall from the time the grass was planted
until it was cut amounted to lib
inches
The Bermuda grass in this field was
again moved on June II, 1906, and
yielded 5G5S pounds of cured hay per
acre. The total rainfall from January
l to June -. 1906. was 14.J2 inches.
From April to June II, while the crop
of grass was growing. it was 9.S6 inches.
This total yield of S242 pounds of
cured Bermuda hay within less than
twelve months from planting is an indi-
cation of what may he obtained over
much Of Oklahoma from this grass when
properly planted on very ordinary land
in good state OF cultivation. Bulletin
No. 10 of the experiment station gives
detailed information about hardy Der
muda grass. 1t will be sent free to all

Restoring Lost Fertility.

There are doubtless but few farms in
this vicinity that have not few acres
of thin land on them. | should like to
suggest a method of building up these
thin places without the use of stable
manure. plow the ground and make a
good seed bed. Sow. drill or double
row with planter, cow peas and cane
together. This will make u good growth
most any kind of season. Then several
farmers can order together car Of
Tennessee rock phosphate. Sow this on
this crop with Il good end-gate seeder
late i'll the fall before FROST and pillow
the crop under. There will thus be an
excellent crop of green manure to act
upon the phosphate and by spring the
ground ought to be decidedly improved.
The COW peas and cane alone, thus
turned under, will benefit the ground,
for | have tried it, and the rock phos-
phate will benefit it much more, for our
soil has been found to be deficient in
phosphoric acid.-Byron Mcfarland in

How Italians Save

Millions of dollars in American gold are
being boarded annually in the banks of
Italy by temporary Italian residents OF
the United States. The total immigration
to the states from Italy in the year
1906 approached the 50O,000 mark.
The idea of Italian emigrants, says the
immigration commissioner. is to accumu-
late something like a fortune in the
states and return with it to Italy. The
Bank OF Naples, which, having adver-
tised that sort of business as its special
ty, has more than 1885, accounts
opened by Italian emigrants in the Unit
ed States and placed to their credit dur
ing the fiscal year just closed more than
100000.
During the same period Italians in Ar
gentlna sent to this single bank 1928, 900
and $4,000 came from Brazil.
The total receipts from such sources
at the Naples bank We're 100000 above
those of the year before. And that is
only one bank among dozens in Italy.

1t is during the simmer months that
loss from the twisted stomach worm OF
sheep occurs. and flock owners should
early endeavor to prevent their hockS
from becoming diseased. Healthy adult
animals seldom become affected with this
disease. and the greater part of the loss
occurs among young and weak animals
However if the conditions are favorable
for the sheep to become infested with
this parasite the death rate among The
mature animals is also heavy.
This disease is not as difficult to treat
successfully. as is generally believed.
The preventive treatment Is very inn
portant. 1t is based on keeping the
sheep in a healthy. vigorous condition.
and among surroundings unfavorable for
the entrance of the eggs or larvae of the
parasite into the digestive tract with the
feed Drinking surface water and per-
manent pastures. especially if pastured
close. are favorable for the production of
the disease. The preventive measures
that are most practical TO use under the
local conditions can be judged best by
the person in charge Of the flock. and
the success OF this part % the treatment
will depend on the precautions that he
deems necessary and the thoroughness
with which they are carried out
Sheep raiScrS who have lost sheep
from this cause in former years, should
not wait until the disease develops in the
flock before using medicinal treatment.

by Dr. Law. and has given excellent re
suits: arSeniouS acid one dram. Sulphate

Selecting Heifers,

If you are 50 situated that it will not
pay you to raise your own heifers, and
you think it is absolutely necessary for
you to buy what COWS you need in the
dairy, be very careful when making your
selections. First you want healthy
COW; you don't want one that comes
from a herd where tuberculosis exists
You ought to be positive that the COW
you purchase is not tuberculous, but
you can only assure yourself of this by
testing her by means of the well known
tuberculin test. You don't want COW
whose sire belonged to the beef breed,
nor whose dam belonged to the beef
breed In other words, look into the
cows pedigree, whether she has an Off
cial pedigree or not. The matter of an
cestry is of much Importance, but still
greater Importance is the conformation
of the COW herself. If she is of the
dairy type and in other respects all
right. buy her; if she is Of the beef type
let some one else buy her. Cows with
pronounced beef tendency very sell
dom make good performers at the pail

To the sweep of the modern mower
The swayiug fields to the long, keen knives
Their planes aud lances lower;
But oh. for this sweet, pr0saic past
And the scythe's old-fashioned song,
For the rare, rich smell Of the grass that
fell
In billowy winrows long.
Mayhap the haying is now but play,
With the ala Of modern skill.
Mayhap that 1t takes but day and day
The ro0my old barn TO I'LL;
But Oh! for the scythes old-faShioned

The mowers who went a-feld,
For the muscles strong as they swing
along,
That their brawny arms revealed!
What though it required a month or more,
Instead of day and day!
The hours Were glad and the heart was
strong,
And the labor was as play;
Then oh for the sweet prosaic past
And the scythe's old-fashoned song,

PRISCILLA.

The garden walk is still and dim.
And faint with ghost of mignonette,
Ard on the worn sun-dial's rim
Gray letters tell the motto yet
Il marke the time butte Love doth notte,
Nor has since when the firste morne
cleaned"
And pathos fingers round the spot
Where fair Priscilla sat and dreamed
! see her In her beauty digit
Whitc-bosomed and with eyes Of gray,
She looking down from girlhoods height
Far on the futures winding way
What love-songs here her days bcguiled-
What poet was the most esteemed
When her colonial lover smiled
Here where Priscilla sat and dreamed?
Perhaps the bosom now in dust
Ached as she toyed some heliotrope
And tears fell down as teardrops must
Where there is dearth of faith and
hope.
But cottin'd in the long ago
The heart that ached and eyes that
beamed-
And Love hath marked the time, know,
Here where Priscilla sat and dreamed.
