GERMAN RECLUSE IN INDIA.
Lived Alone for Years and Refused a
Fortune He Had Inherited.

From Bangalore comes the strange
story of German recluse named I>as-
par Schieffmayer, who lived alone in n
village near st. Johns Hill and was
found dead in his room, having sue
cumbed to a neglected attack of bron-
chitis.
Mr.. Schieffmayer went to India about
thirty years ago as specialist in agricul-
ture for the government of Madras, bur
as the climate did not suit him he re-
signed the appointment. Proceeding to
Bangalore, he purchased over forty acres
and never left his estate even Temporal
rily for the rest of his life. He occu-
pied q room about eight feet square, the
only articles in it being a cot, chair
and a few cooking utensils. His food
consisted of milk and eggs and n loaf
of bread supplied TO him daily, and the
one coolie whom he employed was al
ways sent away before sunset.
4 valuable stock of cows and pigs and
some savage bull terriers were. in fact
all the companions of his life. His pecu-
liar habits developed to such a pitch
that he gave up wearing clothes except
when obliged TO see some rare visitors
as came on business. This eccentric way
of life was attributed to an early love
trouble which was believed to have
turned the unfortunate agriculturist into
a misogynist and n world hater.
\ few months before his death a let
ter was forwarded TO him from the Ger
man consul ut Madras to inform him
that he had come into considerable
fortune, but the old hermit scorned to
acknowledge the communication and died

Calf Managers.

A form Of combined stanchion and
manager for calf feeding is illustrated
in bulletin published by the Michi-
gan Experiment Station and is recon-
mended as being very convenient. The
principle on which the stanchion Is
built is not claimed to be new; the
use dates back a number of decades,
but the especial application and adj
justment of the one hereafter describ-
ed presents some new features. This
particular model is produced as the
result of three years trial, having I'M
dergone several changes since the first
one was installed. This appliance can
be adjusted so as to accommodate the
calf from birth up to twelve months
of age. The calves are confined in the
stanchions at feeding time only. After
the calf has been secured the milk
bucket is placed in the manger; when
the milk is consumed the bucket is
removed and ensilage and meal sup
piled followed by hay BY using this
stanchion method of feeding the maxi

fowls are closely confined in winter

ly If ration is deficient in green food,
that the yolks are pale colored In
one instance a much deeper orange

feeding to green clover and alfalfa.
One lot, where pale colored yolks were
the rule, laid eggs with orange colored
yolks after they had been given the

DIAMONDS IN THREE STATES.
Arkansas Stones Compare Well in Value
with South African Product.

Maiden lanes jewelers. were surprised
yesterday when they learned the result
Of recent prospecting for diamonds in
three states of this country and that in
Arkansas diamonds of fine quality are
now being found. More diamonds were
found in this country last year than ever
before. The facts are given in Douglas
Sterrett's report to the United States
geological survey.
Conditions in the Arkansas fields are
more promising than ever before. At
one point $40 diamonds were found, Of
which 500 weighed 2l7 carats. Three
stones which were cut proved to bc
worth from $50 to $40 a carat, These
values are said to compare fayoraby
with those of South African diamonds
The other states in which prospecting
is now being conducted are California
and Kentucky, and small diamonds are
said to have been found in both.-New
