Proper Time to Plow Land.

The proper time to pillow land Is
when it Is just moist enough to break
up mellow. neither wet enough to leave
q slick surface where rubbed by the
moldboard nor dry enough to break up
In large clods, or. as the southern
farmer puts it, when the soil has a
good season In it. If continued rain
follows wet blowing, little harm fol-
lows. but hot, dry winds would soon
leave only a mass Of unmanageable
clods. In spring and midsummer plow-
ing particularly 1t Is Of the utmost Inn
portance to run the harrow Immediate
" after the plow. This prevents the
formation of clods.-W. J. Spillman.

FOR BLACK HAND OUTRAGES
Eleven Italians Convicted at Wilkes
barre, Pa.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May eleven OF
the thirteen Italians who had been on
trial here charged with BLACK Hand"
crimes were declared guilty in the
Luzerne county court when the sealed
verdict of the jury was opened. The
other two defendants were acquitted.
The principal charge against the men
at the trial was the blowing up of the
home of an Italian named Rizza be-
cause he refused to pay money to a
band OF men calling themselves the
BLACK Hand" society. The penalty for
the crime for which the Italians were
convicted is two years Imprisonment.
District Attorney Salisbury said that
the prisoners would be tried on two
other charges against them, dynamit-
ing and attempting to kill. The pris-
oners received the verdict with the
utmost indifference.

Strength of the Condor.

The enormous strength Of the condor
Is only equaled by his voracity and
holiness. This immense bird often
pounces upon small animals, but from
the shape and bluntness Of his claws
he is unable to carry anything very
heavy, so he contents himself with
fixing 1t against the ground with one
OF his claws. while with the other and
his powerful beak he rends it to pieces.
Gorged with food, the bird then be-
comes incapable of flight and may be
approached. but any attempt at cap
ture is furiously resisted.
