Care of Setting Hens.

When sitting the hens in order to
keep the lice from bothering them, a
good plan is to fill the nest boxes
with wood shavings, preferably those
that have some odor about them. Ce-
dar shavings are excellent and So are
cedar twigs, and the hens will appre-
ciate the nest of such materials. Lice
are a great drawback to a hen when
she IS on the nest, and many times
they compel the sitter to leave her
nest when she does not desire, and If
there Is anything the poultryman can
do to keep the sitting hen comfortable
he will be amply repaid for it in the
end The shavings are inexpensive
and are easily destroyed. They do
not pack hard in the boxes and are
quite comfortable for the hen. Try
some of them when sitting a hen and
see how useful they really are.-Rural

Consul Frank S. Hannah sends re
port to the Department of Commerce
and Labor relative to some recent ex-
periments in the drying of potatoes
under the auspices of the German I'M
perial Interior Department, which
may offer a new field for farmers
The potatoes are reduced by this proc
ess to about one-quarter of their orig
inal weight, and can be kept in a
good condition IN this compressed
form for an indefinite length of time.
The military authorities have made
thorough experiments with this prod
uct and have become convinced that
its nutritious value is fully equal to
that of c. n and that the dried pota-
toes can take the place Of one-third
of the former ration Of oats The fact
that the potatoes are reduced to one
fourth Of their original weight brings
about a cores onding reduction in the
price of freight. so that 1t will pay to
grow more potatoes than has former
ly been the case.-Michigan Farmer.

OSCAR WILDE'S REMAINS.
The Body Will Be Removed to Pere-
Lachaise, Paris.

From an obscure grave in the cemetery
Of Bagneux in Paris the remains of Os-
car Wilde will be transferred to Pere-
Lachaise When he died alone in Paris
In 1900 his body was placed in the Bag
neux cemetery with practically no funer-
al rites. Now the revulsion of feeling in
England has enabled his friends to do
what they have been planning for years,
namely, to place Oscar Wilde's body in
Pere-I achaise, where many great writ
ers and artists are buried.
The legal formalties in connection with
the purchase in perpetuity of a grave i'll
this cemetery. have all been carried out
by Robert Ross, Wide's friend, executor
and biographer, and a monument to the
memory of the dead man is on the point
Of conf letion. This monument, which
is symbolic of the literary genius of
Wilde, is the work of a young Russian
sculptor, Jacob Epstein.
The removal of the body will take
place next month and funeral cere-
mony will be held. Many of the writer 5
friends and admirers in London will
journey to Paris to be present.
The children of Oscar Wilde are being
brought up in absolute ignorance as "a

In the country under care of relatives.

BRIGANDAGE IN THE CAUCASUS.
Bands Boldness in Demand of Ransom
for Kidnapped Boy.

The police at Tifis are endeavoring to
capture band of brigands who for some
time past have been carrying on opera
tons in the Caucasus.
About six months ago the son of a rich
Tiflis merchant named Tefeloff was cap
tured by the brigands, who asked a ran
som of $4,000 rubles for his release.
The lads father stoutly refused to be
terrorized into paying any such sum and
promptly informed the police of what
had occurred. Three days later he was
found murdered in the street not far
from his home. and despite the efforts
of the police no definite clue could be
found to incriminate any one in partic'
ular.
Young Tefeloff still remains with the
brigands, who have increased their de-
mand to 100000 rubles. The chief OF
the band had the audacity to call per
sonally en- the wife of the murdered man
and informed her that after what had
happened they We're unwilling to accept
the 10000 rubles which they had at first
asked and had doubled their demand

There the matter stands at present

in getting on the track of the miscreantS

her son may be murdered by his captorc

Calculating Interest.

One of the sh priest and simplest
methods known for calculating interest
is to multiply the principal by the
number of days and divide as follows:
For per cent, divide by 80.
For per cent, divide by II.
For 6 per cent, divide by GO.
For 7 per cent, divide by 81.
For 8 per cent, divide by As.
Then point off four decimal places.
For instance, to find interest on $3.50
for 80 days at per cent, multiply $3.50
by 80, divide by 45 and point off four
decimal places. The result is 1886

Farmers Must Watch The Crop,


In order to determine what elements
OF plant food are deficient in a soil,
1t is necessary to carefully study the
growing crop. Many farmers seem to
be of the opinion that a chemical
analysis of the soil will show the
amount of plant food contained there,
in. This, however. is a mistaken idea.
The chemist can only determine APP
proximately the amount of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash in a soil,
without specifically showing what pro-
portion of these elements can be taken
up by the growing plant. large per-
centage of these elements Is not avail
able to plant food Hence the neces-
sity for them in an available form.
We must turn, then. to the crop. and
by watching 1t closely during its
growth and by careful examination
when matured, see whether the soil Is
deficient in plant food and what ele-
ments are lacking.
