SHOOTING FOR KEEPS"
Methuselah, London's Famous Tortoise,
Is Dead

London's Oldest living link with the
past is broken. The 250-yearold tortoise
Methuselah, who has been one of the
curiosities of the 200, has ended his
earthly career. No more will crowds
gather around his cage and discuss him
during his winter nap, and no more will
parents and governesses take him as
text to deliver a little historical talk on
the days of the great plague or the time
when Milton wrote paradise Lost" and
the tortoise was young and frivolous.
Since November Methuselah has been
alternating in the tortoise house III
snug corner beside the hot water pipes.
From outward appearances he might
have been dead then, yet he was alive
and apparently doing well, and when the
sunny weather came his awakening was
looked forward to daily. The end of last
week his keeper noticed change i'll
him and an examination showed that
from Information the veteran had sunk
peacefully into death
Methuselah was very long time in
settling down to his last sleep. He
showed signs of activity on November
l. which was two months after his
usual time of entering into Information.
Now his keeper thinks possibly he had
premonitons that this was to be his last
sleep, and he hesitated to settle down
to it.

a Cure for Hog Cholera.


Hog Cholera or Swine Plague as 1t
is sometimes called is highly conta-
gious disorder
When hog shows any symptoms OF
this disease. he should be isolated at
once and the pen fumigated in order
to save the other hogs if possible.
Mix one part Sloan's Liniment with
two parts milk in a bottle and give
every sick hog a tablespoonful OF this
mixture night and morning for three
days. Sloan's Liniment is powerful
antiseptic, kills the disease germs,
soothes all Inflammation and acts as a
tonic to the animal.
A. J. Mccarthy, Of Idavllle, Ind,
says My hogs had hog cholera three
days before we got Sloan's Liniment,
which was recommended to me by a
neighbor who was using it with sue
cess. | have used it now for three
days and my hogs are almost well. One
hog died before l got the Liniment,
but | have not lost any since"
Mr.. G. w. Balsbaugh, of Peru, Ind,
writes: II had four pigs that were
coughing and were not doing well. l
gave them some of Sloan's Liniment
and they got better at once"

Not without reason, too, as Paddy's

the clock at least Il hundred years.
Down the open street where the mar

chiefly old white capped peasant women,

pictures and periwinkes, old furniture

posed for sale. on perhaps a bundle of

Yet sometimes lurking in the midst
one finds some treasure trove, stray

LOST OKLAHOMA TOWN.
Once Headquarters of Chickasaw Nation
Supplied Salt to Confederates.

Twelve miles east of this place is one
of the lost" towns of Oklahoma, Bog
gy Depot, lying in the lowlands of Bog
gy creek. Many years ago Boggy De-
pot was noted place i'll Indian terri
tory.
When Col. James Boggy as an agent
of the federal government brought the
Chickasaw Indians from Mississippi in
1882 he pitched his tent on the ground
where afterward stood Doggy Depot.
The Chickasaws made a treaty with
the government wherein it was provided
that all business with these Indians.
including the payment of moneys. should
be transacted at BOggy Depot. this
place being chosen by the Indians be
cause Of the fact that all supplies for
the Chickasaws were hauled in wagons
to Boggy Depot from Fort Smith Ark.
For years Boggy Depot was a gov
ernment post. When the lands held by
the Choctaws and Chickasaws were di-
vided between the two tribes the Chick
asawS moved westward to their present
home and Boggy Depot was abandoned
as a government post. The wealth of
number of Indian territory families was
acquired in trade at Boggy Depot.
Most of the commercial salt used in
southern Indian territory and northern
Texas was manufactured from the wa
tiers of Salt creek, Il small stream that
miles on horseback and in wagons and
carried the salt away in bags. At the
beginning of the Civil war the Confeder-
ate government took charge of the salt
works and manufactured salt for the
Confederate army in this part Of the
country. One of the old kettles used at
that time is owned by \. Il. Faudree of
this place.
Boggy Depot was the birthplace of a
number of persons now of wide ucquaint
ance in Oklahoma, among them being
Mrs Robert l.. Owens, wife Of United
States Senator Owen and daughter of
Capt. Hester, who became rich in mer-
chandising; Charles -. Carter. member

A RARE OCCURRENCE.
A Mountain Torrent That Froze in a
Night

]. Claude White, writing of his OK
perences in Bhutan. in the Wide World
magazine, gives the following description
of a very rare occurrence-thc freezing
of n mountain torrent i'll single night.
The phenomenon was one that | have
never before experimental running
river frozen solid in night. When we
arrived the waters of this stream, tum-
bling over the great boulders and rush
ing through the tortuous channels, made
a deafening roar. Gradually, but almost
mperceptibly, the tumult decreased,
while. worn out after a hard day, we
fell asleep. A few hours later. when
we awoke. a deathly silence prevailed,
and on looking out, to my intense sur
prise, | found that the rushing torrent
of the previous night had been trans
formed into a solid mass Of ice. In this
region of extreme temperatures | had on
other occasions seen torrents frozen. bur
never under such startling conditions
On looking round we found that every
thing we possessed was also frozen solid
including our saddle of mutton. which
was merely a block of ice. We were
ravenous. but we got no satisfaction
from gnawing at Jumps of rock which
ought to have been IA succuent Joint
and so, despite our hunger. we had to
content ourselves with a little tea-to
make which we melted ice-and few
biscuits.

Early Flowing.

The value of early blowing as n
means Of destroying weeds, especially
rag weed, wild oats, artichokcs. etc, Is
not appreciated fully by farmers. Sim
liar weeds grow in a most dis,ouraging
manner, especially on low, moist land
during the summer, and in many in
stances take possession of the fields.
They will appear on the scene next
year, In multiplied numbers, If an eff
fort IS not made to destroy them this
summer, which can best be done by
early blowing.
The pillow should be started in these
wcedy patches just as soon as the fields
are cleared. Rag weeds are rank
growing soil robbers which should not
be permitted to ripen seed on any
farm, but are now seen In corn fields,
pastures and small grains In many sec
lions. They are special pest on some
farms where careless methods of han
ding the soil have been employed. If
such fields are plowed as early MS pos
sible the plants will be prevented from
going to seed Kingheads are now In
possession of some very productive
fields. and we believe this Is due to
spring blowing or no blowing, rs such
fields are often dlsked instead OF

of Clover.

CloverS do not always grow as read
lily or as vigorously as might be ex-
pected from the richness of the soil. In
recent years it has been discovered
by scientists that the growth Of plants
Of this class (clovers, peas and beans)
Is depeEGent to some extent on the
presence of small nodules or lunches
on the roots. These nodules contain
bacteria which in some mysterious way
assist the roots in taking up food from
the soil. If these bacteria are not
present in the soil the clovers will be
likely to make poor growth-indeed,
alfalfa may not make any growth. If
the proper kind of bacteria are sup
piled and the incubation OF soil and
root is successful the plants will show
extra vitality.
Cultures containing these bacteria
have been sent out to farmers from
the Ontario Agricultural College for
the past four years, with directions
for applying to the fields that are be-
ing seeded with clover. Last season
300 farmers reported that their alfalfa
crops had been benefited by the appli-
cation while 40 reported that there
was no gain. With alsike clover the
reports were equally favorable over
G6 per cent Of the experiments finding
that the culture had improved the
crop. With red clover the results were
not so favorable, only So per cent hay
showed still less benefit from the ap-
plication. AS the work Is still in its
infancy 1t is probable that better re-
sllltS will he nhta inad rs the method
