LOOT HOUSES OF MOURNING
psspieable Trick Of Berlin Thieves
Had lie Counterpart Many Cen
turtles Age.

Breaking into houses where fu-
nerals have just taken place and
p~lundering them is spoken Of by the
Berliner Tageblatt as the latest trick
Of the thieves Of that city. While
this may be a new form Of criminal
.ity in Berlin, says the writer, II is
really only an imitation Of an Incl
dent described in bio Cassius as hav-
ing taken place $500 years before
Christ. The historian says that when
the consort Of the emperor was laid
away in the mausoleum at Memphis
a band Of Greek marauders entered
the deserted palace of the Pharaoh
and took all the precious stones and
metals and the women slaves. and
reached the banks of the Red sea
with their plumber. Only two Of the
band were captured and they were
turned over by the ruler to the wise
men, by whom they we're vivisected
in the interest Of science. No matter
how much the robbers of the modern
houses of mourning may be despised
they need not fear that form of pun
ishment.

first in not feeding too much and
thus induce bowel trouble, but as
they grow older the amount of milk
may be increased, but they should
not be overfed at any time. Have
been very free from bowel trouble
this season, although no unusual
precautions have been taken.
Like to feed with milk until sew
eral months old, as this gives them
fine start in growth before being
turned out to grass or weaned. After
two months old. they will eat good
hay readily, or some kind of light
grain ration If considered desirable.
Where winter dairying is followed,
this furnishes an excellent oppor-
tunity for raising calves, as they can
be readily cared for and by the time
there is good grass in spring will be
ready to return to pasture.
The idea should be to encourage a
thrifty, vigorous growth of bone and
muscle of the true dairy type, but
not to encroach on the beef form.
Some care is required in raising good
stock of all kinds, but this will be
abundantly repaid in the success that
should always follow careful and
well directed effort.
Now / wish to give a little ex-
ample in pig feeding. Pigs like
skinned milk right from the sepa-
rator and it makes an excellent feed,
especially when a proper amount
of grain is added, as these animals
should be kept growing and fatten-
ing at the same time.
The last of February took a Ches-
ter white pig, weighing lis pounds,
alive, and put it in pen alone where
it was warm and dry. 1t was fed
with the skinned milk and one
quart of mixed grain feed three times
day. 1t was fed for fifty days and
then slaughtered. The dressed
weight was ITS pounds. I calculate
this was equal to two pounds of in
crease per day, live weight. Morn
ing and night fresh separator milk
was fed.
We now have lot of fine young
pigs In a pen together that are being
cared for In the same manner with
not yet SO much grain, that are
doing finely. They are white and
clean, enjoy their meals and are
growing larger and fatter every day.
l wish to emphasize the idea of
having commodious quarters for
either calves or pigs, well lighted,
with plenty of bedding to keep dry
and clean and then feed with care
and for the purpose wanted. There
is genuine satisfaction in knowing
that such treatment is humane in it.

Each hamper contained about twen-

OF course not all growers are so
careless, but enough are to bring
distrust on the whole business.
The time is at hand when the
Southern grower to be successful
must identify himself with his pro-
ducts. His name and address on his

they are properly graded and packed.
If the Southern grower could visit
our receiving centres and see how
certain marks and packs were
sought after he would be surprised.

Packing Fruits and Vegetables.

My experience in this line has
been largely in the capacity of re-
ceiver. Consequently, l should
rather suggest than dictate.
In my long experience as re-
ceiver, note very little change in
methods of packing. No package
is properly put up for shipment that
contains an article In several stages
of growth or maturity.
Take tomatoes, for instance. The
common practice Is to put half-grown
and ripe in the same package. The
consequence is, the half-grown never
ripen and the ripe ones rot. OF
course tomatoes that are put up for
shipment to distant markets should
not be perfectly ripe, but should be
at least fully grown.
All spotted and deformed stock
should be rejected. The six-basket
carriers or the flats make satisfac-
tory packages.
Lettuce should receive especial
care. 1t should not be allowed to
wither, but packed as cut. All de-
cayed leaves should be picked off
and in packing use both hands to
tuck the outer leaves around the
head to preserve it. Pack in layers
with side pressure. Thus packed
1t will carry long distances, and keep
fresh and crisp.
Beets should be packed with the
beets in centre of barrel instead of
outside. which is the common prac-
tice.
Radishes should be put up same
as beets, as nearly as possible. About
100 punches to the hamper.
The great error in packing lies
In the fact that the grower will not
resist the temptation to put a few
inferior or worthless specimens in
his package. I cannot conceive why
they persist in doing it when it
should be as much to the grower as
1t is to the receiver, that a few
Inferior specimens will often make

Enemies of the Moth.

The work of fighting the gypsy
and brown-tail moths by the use of
parasites has produced encouraging
results. The insects brought here
from Europe have increased rapidly,
and are likely to make themselves at
home all through the moth section
in the course of few years.
Professor Howard, of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
who is carrying on the work in as
sociation with Professor Kirkland,
thinks it will be several years at
least before the new insects will be-
gin to make much headway against
the moths, probably not less than
five years, and possibly not for ten
years. AS there are many species
Of the insects which feed upon
moths, 1t seems likely that some OF
them will thrive and multiply fast
enough to keep the moths in check
as they do in infested regions OF
Europe and Asia. A week or two
ago about eighty thousand of the
parasites of the brown-tail moth
were liberated.

moths. 1t is thought that it may be
possible to prepare spray mixture
containing germs of these diseases
and to spread them among the
moths by spraying. There is a dis
ease which produces a fungus thread.
like growth in the brown-tail moth
and which seems to spread very
easily, almost exterminating some
colonies of the moths. 1t is possible
that this new idea of poisoning by
the use of diseases may produce ex-
tremely important results, not only
in fighting the moths, but in getting

THE LILAC.

The scent of lilac in the air
Hath made him drag his steps and pause
Whence comes this scent within the Square
Where endless dusty traffic roars;
A pushcart stands beside the curb,
With fragrant blossoms laden high;
Speak low, nor stare, lest we disturb
His sudden reverie
BE sees us not, nor heeds the din
Of changing car and scuffiing throng;
His eyes see fairer sights within,
And memory hears the robins song
As once it trilled against the day,
And shook his slumber in room
Where drifted with the breath of May
The lilac's sweet perfume.
The heart of boyhood in him stirs:
The wonder of the morning skies,
OF sunset gold behind the frs,
Is kindled in his dreaming eyes;
\ How far off is this sordid place,
As turning from our sight away
He crushes to his hungry face
A purple lilac spray.
