 Bold Work ot Sneak Theives
 Sometime between Monday evening and Tuesday morning the general store of r. H. Smith 6 Company, was en- tered by sneak thieves, who stole a quantity of merchandise, but wero evidently frightened away before they could gather all the plunder. Entrance was made through the rear door, which, sinGularly, had been opened from the inside. This leads to the belief that some individual sneaked into the store Monday before it was closed and hid until night came. Two of the show cases was almost complety emptied and part of the contents. shoes, stockings, watches, underclothing, sweaters, etc., as well as canned goods, butter and so forth were found heaped i'll horse blank cts. One of these was on the floor of the store, the other three in a nearby orchard. The money drawer was not tempered with, the thieves evidently being intent on taking merchandise, etc. There was no clew by which the thieves could be traced. The value of the goods stolen is not definitely known, but it is said that it aggregates about two hundred dollars. It is thought that the robbery was the work of the same gang of crooks that has been operating throughout Berkshire county and oyer | the llne i'll Connecticut of late. The authorities i'll Ashley. Falls and neigh boring towns are on the lookout for the thieves and,. should they attempt any more of their bold work, they will pro- bably be caught.

blight of Potatoes.

Early blight is a potato disease
which causes more or less damage to
the crop every year. The trouble Is
most marked in unusually dry sea-
sons and Is caused by fungus which
grows and spreads rapidly. The spores
Of this fungus when seen through q
microscope have the appearance of
clubs. They enter the vines and the
first thing one notices is that the
leaves are turning yellow. The disease
Is likely to come during the first or
second week in July. 1t may be easily
prevented by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture before the disease gets a hold
on the crop. After 1t has start it is
Of no use to spray, because the spores
are already inside the vines.
In order to kill the potato beetle at
at the same time, one-fourth of a
pound of Paris green may be added to

Horses Increasing In value.

A table has been compiled from the
statistics of the Census Bureau and
the Department of Agriculture, which
shows that the rise in the market
value of horses has been out of all
proportion in the last fifteen years to
the increase In their number in the
United States. From 1893 to 1908 the
horse population so to speak, in
creased 3,785,00 or % per cent. In
the same period the gain in the num-
Der of human inhabitants was 21,979,-
900, or 80 per cent But the increase
In the value of the horses in this coun-
try was no less than 1915, 100000 or
SO per cent.
These facts will astonish many per-
sons who have supposed that the
growth of the automobile interest has
been very adverse to the horse breed
ers and to the market demand for
horses. On the contrary, the prices
obtained for good horses, especially
for heavy draft animals of blood and
stamina, have risen far beyond the
hopes of horse dealers a few years
ago. Horses are worth about so per
cent more in proportion to their num-
Der than they were in 1898.

To Cure kicking Cows.

To cure a kicking COW is often diff
ficult and tedious task, and unless
some method of restraining them
from kicking is adopted more loss
than profit may result through split
milk. The person milking also runs
considerable risk of injury in some
form or other.
When the cause of kicking can be
assigned to vice or an acquired bad
habit, the following little arrangement
will be found useful, and, at the same
time, simple, harmless, effective, mex
pensive and easily applied. A strap
about one inch wide should be buckled
around each hind leg little above the
hook sufficiently tight to compress the
hamstring.
The animal cannot kick, and If flies
are troublesome and cause her to
switch her tail, the best plan is to
either strap it to her leg or secure it
to one of the straps with a piece OF
cord. Use the straps every time the
animal is MIXED, and after three
weeks or so omit, to ascertain wheth.
er a cure has been effected or not

Oats make an excellent food for the
poultry, providing they are of the right
kind. The long, slim oat, with plenty
of husk or hull Is poor feed for any
thing, but the plump, meaty oat IS a
good feed for all stock, including poul-
try
Hulled oats for young chickens after
they are three or four weeks old will
help them to make bone and muscle
faster than any other one feed, and
this is the most desirable element at
this period of growth.
For grown or feeding fowls we have
at most seasons of the year fed one
feed of oats daily with most satisfac-
tory results We have fed some oats
after boiling them for fall and winter
feeding, but they were of poor quality,
and the boiling was to soften the hulls
rather than because the boiling added
any other value to the oats feed itself,
Boiling is not necessary with good
oats except by way of variety in feed
ing. The best way is to feed them in
the litter, scattered we'll and deeply so
the fowls will have to do considerable
scratching. Epitomist.

wedding One Improbable Cow.

Dairy farms are continually adyanc-
ing in value, which should be regard
ed as the part of the profits. Grain
farming is hard on the land Many
hard run grain farms have teen
brought back to good state of fertili-
ty by changing to cows
With the case in test it will be pos
sible to weed out the poor cheese COWS
on the same principle that we have
used the Babcock butter test to weed
out the poor butter cows. Instead OF
keeping cows for cheese which aver
age 70 pounds of casein per 100
pounds of fat, we may breed COWS that
will produce milk containing close to
10 pounds of casein for 100 pounds OF
fat. We need to specialize in cheese
just as intelligently and carefully as
in butter production.

THE TIGERS PREY.
How His Taste Changes-Ferocity of the
Maneater.

In the intervals of rest and recreation
which Mr.. Rees doubtless allows himself
he may do worse than give his most at
tentive consideration to certain facts
mentioned by a writer in the current
number of the Indian Forester bearing
upon the evolution of the forest tigers
taste, first for cattle and then for hui
man meat.
When tired of the monotony of the
menu provided by deer or wild pig the
forest tiger develops taste for domestic
cattle, and then its modus operandi IS
very interesting study. The venue is
changed from deep forest to cattle breed
ing area, where the tiger leisurely car
ries on its depredations until shot-an
operation which, however it might shock
Mr.. Rees, is one of the most benefcent
acts of the sportsman.
As the writer in the Indian Forester
says, the transition from cattle Staying
to man Staying is not a great step.
Where cattle abound human beings are,
and once the tiger has tasted human
meat it develops an extraordinary pas
sion for 1t. And so it must have its
daily feed. 1t goes anywhere in search
Of food.
Many years ago a tiger swan the
Rangoon river, nearly a mile in width,
and landed in the heart of the locality,
crept under the raised floor of a Bur
man hut and was promptly slaughtered.
About six years ago a large tiger was
observed on the platform of the ShWe-
Dogan pagoda at Rangoon and was shot
by party of soldiers told off for the
purpose. The superstitious Burmese at
tributed the outbreak of plague in Ran
COON to the shooting of this tiger, which
they declared was some particular mani
festation of the Buddha. 1t is q curious
fact, however, that the plague outbreak
occurred shortly afterward, and the city

spraying can be done quite cheaply.
The cost of four sprayings is estimated
at $1.S5 per acre. This includes the
cost of labor also. In Vermont trial
was conducted by one hundred farm
ers to test the value of this spray. The
period covered five years, and the re-
suit was the increase Of 20 per cent
in yield. The high value of Bordeaux
mixture as preventive Of early blight
has been proved many times. and
should not be overlooked by anyone
who expects to raise good crop Of

Foul Brood in Bees.

The worst enemies of the bee are
the foul brood and black brood. One
or the other of these diseases are in
some parts of the State. and black
brood have been very bad in New
York State. These diseases of bees
have been carefully studied by the de-
partment in Washington. and we have
some pretty definite information on the
matter. The treatment for both is
that Of removing all the combs and
starting the bees fresh without any
contaminated honey in a new hive, and
the use Of the old combs for wax.
