DOG UNIFIED FOR 81 DAYS
Foxhound Falls into an Abandoned
Well ard Starves More Than
Month.

Baltimore, Md.-Music, the high
bred foxhound of Michael Hassett, in
the Manchester district up in Carroll
county, is alive and we'll after fast
of 81 days at the bottom of well.
Mr.. Hassett and some friends were
having q fox hunt at night. Music
and the other dogs of Mr.. Hassett's
pack were in full cry. The chase was
along the north side of Dug hill and
the baying of the hounds was a de-
light to the hunters. Music is the
pick of the pack and her tones were
easily discernible. Suddenly they
ceased altogether and when the horn
recalled the dogs she was missing. In
the forest where she was lost is an
old clearing and an abandoned cabin,
which was once supplied with water
from well AZ feet deep and Music
was in that well for 81 days without
food. II had been covered, but the
covering had rotted away and in cross
ing it she went down.

SINGLE CROP
FARMING BAD
Specialization Is Profitable In
Favorable Seasons, But Often
There is Failure.

One-crop farming is in vogue in
many agricultural districts. If manu-
facturer employs an operator he fur
nishes him with steady employment at
all seasons of the year. The profit of
labor is the manufacturers reward. If
only one commercial article is pro-
duced the quantity is increased to
give the operator constant employ
meDt.
The farmer is producer of agricul-
tural necessities which enter into
daily consumption and to concentrate
all his energies and capital to produce
single crop leaves him part OF the
season without employment The far
mer is his own employer and does not
have to divide the profits of his prod
ucts, and therefore should arrange his
system Of husbandry to insure steady
production of some agricultural output
that enters into daily consumption.
Unquestionably specialization farm
ing is profitable in favorable seasons,
but occasionally there is a partial or
total failure of the crop and the far
mer wants some reserve product to
tide him over a disastrous season of
special crop exploitation. In some To-
calities the soil is admirably adapted
to potato culture. In another section
to onions, and still another to horticul-
ture. When any of these lines of hus-
bandry are followed they pay large
profits in favorable seasons. Another
class of farmers are interested in
wheat or corn production, both of
which are profitable branches of agri-
culture.
The farmer engaged in specializa-
ton crops finds himself unemployed
part of the year. If his labors are rea-
sonably rewarded for time devoted to
raising and marketing crop of wheat,
corn, potatoes or fruit, it should be his
ambition to add to his agricultural OF
erations the production of other things
that will pay profit the balance of
the year. To obtain the largest posi-
BILE recompense from agriculture the
farmer should arrange for steady en-
ployment the year around.
Special crops can be exploited in
conjunction with live stock husbandry.
If the farmer raises a crop of clover it
leaves the soil in elegant condition for
a crop of potatoes, while the clover
will make excellent feed for live stock.
A crop of potatoes leaves the ground
in prime condition for wheat seeded
down to clover. Live stock industry
In Wi io1
duction will not only give the farmer
remunerative employment at all sea-
sons, but the rotation of crops and
feeding live stock will keep up the
fertility of the land.

the machine from an Edgewater
garage, was in flames when the chauf.
feur stopped the machine with the
aid of the tree. They were extiD-

An excellent method for planting
trees straight is a follows:
First stake off the ground, then
take piece of inch lumber 1x2 of suf-
ficient length to reach across the
hole or excavation; bore a h-inch
hole in each end, cut a notch in the
middle to accommodate the tree
trunk, A. Make or have the black
smith make two as-inch iron pins one
foot long with ring in one end, G. To
use, place the board into a notch A,
shove your pins we'll down in soil
through holes B, B. Withdraw one
and swing the stick around like
gate, replace the pin in the ground
to mark the place, then dig the hole
to accommodate tree, swing the stick
back in place, replace pin in hole
through the stick and into the hole
in the ground put the stock of tree
into notch A, and fill in the dirt and
it will set straight with the other
stakes.
AS ornamental trees and shrubs are
pruned to aid in the production of
flowers and foliage, the Towering sea-
son necessarily controls the time of
pruning.
Many of the early blooming shrubs
develop their flowers the year before;

MONARCH HAS FAMOUS JEWEL
Remarkable Emblem Recently Added
to the Collection Owned by
King Edward.

A famous Jewel" is now In the pos.
session of King Edwsrd. 1t is none
other than the memorial locket de.
signed by the widowed Lady Margar'
ct Lennox to commemorate &c years
of welded love with the regent OF
Scotland, the famous Matthew, earl
of Lennox, who was assassinated 33S
years ago. Lady Margaret was known
as "his most, most sweet Madge," and
through all the storms of their most
stormy lives they were true to their
love the one for the other. In the
quaint lettering and emblems of her
famous Jewel" this devotion has
been impressed. 1t is a heart of gold
two or three inches across, enriched
with gems and enamel. 1t has hidden
springs and revolving doors, angels
and deaths heads, clasped hands and
phoenix, flames and darts and rhym-
ing notices. A London paper says:
1T needs whole pages properly to
describe and explain the cryptic work,
and it is easy to believe that 1t is
more quaint and curious than beauti-
full. But, in spite of its oddity, 1t
clearly tells its pathetic story of Len
noX's devotion and LennoX's love.
Dominating all its mysterious fan
cies one sees the plain device, mar

layed until just after their Towering
season, Deutzia, spirea, forsythia and
many other popular shurbs are of this
character. Soon after their Towering
season is over they begin to develop
buds for the next year.
Shrubs needing heavy trimming
should be pruned in early winter.
This will result in larger blooms on
the remaining buds. Such plants af
the hydrangea and the clematisN
which make their Towering buds on
shoots grown the same year, should
be pruned heavily while dormant, as
this will give a greater profusion Of
shoots on which to develop new buds.
When pruning hardy deciduous flow
ering shrubs all deadwood should be cut
out, struggling branches either short"
ened or removed and all suckers aris-
ing from the roots should be de-
stroyed. Where shrubs are planted
in clumps branches should be cut out.
1t is a good idea to cover the wounds
with white lead or grating wax, as
If a stub is left uncovered the healing
of the wound will be left until the stub
is rooted out and the rotting stub will
be lodging place for bacteria and
fungus. Cut the branch off clean and
close to the main stem, avoiding any
stub, and cover the wound with graft
ing wax melted and applied hot.
