A CLEVER THIEF.
His Capture and Sale of Consisn-
ment of Diamonds.

His Capture and Sale of Consisn-
ment of Diamonds.
An expert criminal named Raymond
is described by Sir Robert Anderson as
a Napoleon Of crime. The plot which
he devised for the theft of diamonds
worth $450JO00 and which he carried
out with a mastery fOrethought and
address is unrivaled.
Diamonds were habitually sent from
Kimberley'to the coast just in time to
catch the mail steamer for Europe.
Were the convoy delayed the gems
were locked up in the postoffice until
the next steamer left the harbor.
Raymond, profiting by a knowledge
of those simple facts, visited the port
of departure. He made friends with
the postmaster, learned his habits and
took wax impressions of his keys. He
then returned to Europe, leaving be-
hind him memory of pleasant man.
ners and good fellowship.
A few months later he was in Africa
again, disguised and unknown. He
made his way up country to the point
where the diamonds had to be carried
across a ferry on their way TO the
coast. Unshipping the chain Of the
ferry, he sent the boat downstream,
and the next convoy of diamonds
missed the mail.
All that remained for Raymond to do
was to unlock the safe in the post
office and go off with the treasure,
which by fine stroke of ironical hui
NOR he presently sold to its rightful
owners in Hatton garden. This was
Raymond's masterpiece.-Blackwood's

The following beautiful memorial was

of Cicero Lodge No. /, Knights Of Py-
thias, at Tallahassee, Nay %, 1909:
Whenever the hand Of affection rests
upon the home Of anyone, we should en-
deavor to alleviate and relieve il. When
sorrow comes 70 the house Of our friend,
our duty is there 10 comfort, to console,
to make him feel that sympathy which
makes as all akin, and through the
clouds that surround him point to the
stars that shine beyond. Our brother
and friend has been visited by the grim
reaper, and she who has stood by his
side and by all the Graces and virtues
that make q happy home, has been
kind and loving wife, has been taken,
and her removal has left a void that can
never be filed. But we will point our
brother 70 her many virtues, as she
performed the duties Of this life, to her
noble WOmanhOOd. 70 her lovely dispO-
sition, and above all TO her christian
character. She is not dead, but has
been tranaplanted TO another sphere,
where we should prepare to meet her.
We extend to our brother, Phelps War
den Wilson, the heartfelt sympathy Of
each and every member Of our lodge. >

San Jose Scale.

Most of the insects which infest or
chards injure the crop and not the
tree. h San Jose scale, however, if
permitted to run it's course, will en-
tirely destroy ar rchard. While as
many as sixty-five different plants and
trees may be attacked, the peach, ap-
pie n plum suffer the most. San
Jose scale is distributed by h ship
ment Of infected nursery stock, by it's
own efforts and by mar himself, as
we'll as by horses, birds and insects.
This insect is seldom seen, as it con-
cea1s itself with a sca1y covering from
it's own body. The scale is very small,
one-tWenty-ffth of ar nch or less in
diameter, flat and nearly circular in
shape. grayish, with the center
raised. Upon lifting the scale one
finds a yel1OWish, soft-bodied creature
without legs or wings, but having d
long, slender beak with which it sucks
the SAP from the tree. Thousands of
these little insects attaching them
selves to one tree will DO much dam
age in a single season. When found
in an h it should be cared for
at once. Ordinarily it can be con-
troIled by the use of ~lime-sulphur So
luton, but in case the trees are thor
oughly infested and nearly dead they
should be cut down and burned.

TEXANS RAISING HOGS.

Texas is said to be an ideal place to
raise hogs and ought to be raising
100000 hogs per year. The climate
is mild at all seasons; nc winter being
so severe that cold-proof shelters are
required, or to not but that
a shade tree will mitigate it.
In most sections water is plentiful.
AS to feed and forage, everything that
hogs like to eat is produced in abund-
ance. Corn, milo maize, peanuts, soy
beans, half a dozen varieties of peas,
co~ttonseed meal for fattening pur-
poses, besides alfalfa, sorghum, clover,
oats, rape-all these AND many more
can be raised there in profusion.
Even with all these natural advan-
tages comparatively few hogs are
raised in exas. Everybody in the state
seems to have determined to raise cot
- there is said to be a much
larger profit in a. thousand dollars
worth of hogs than a thousand dollars
worth of cotton.
Texas has mad money out Of cot
ton, but it can make more out Of hogs,
and the time is not far distant When
the cotton crop will be cut in half and
the crop Of hogs doubled.

For the cap select and straigten a
bunch of the longest hay; tie in the
shape Of a bundle of grain, then tie
four or five times between center and
tip. Let the stick end extend out Of
the stack about two feet, over which
place cap. Then spread out the butt
of cap to form roof over stack.
Do not wait until the hay is ripe
before you get out the machine or
make the sticks to go in the top of
stack. Have q few poles or rails
handy on which to build the stacks.
Stack the clcanes and that freest
from weeds to be stored in the barn,
the toughest and weediest on the
thinnest ground or in a sheltered
place, and let the cattle and sheep
freezing weather. BY no means let
the stock tramp up the meadows in
wet weather.
During freezing times top dress the
meadows with all available manure.
Scatter this over evenly and note the
difference next haying time in that
top dressing and that which is not.
In stacking clover or alfalfa be
sure to top out with timothy or some
straightforward hay that will turn
the water. For convenience in stack
ing hay should stand in the shock two
or three days. or even lOngN in air
weather. 1t loses much weight and
lies much better in the stack. Do not
stack any hay if you have room in the
barn for it.

ADAPT FERTILIZERS TO SOILS.
Select a Fertilizer t o Build Up the
0 Rather Thar to Grow a Certain
CrOn.

It would be much better if the
users of commercial fertilizers Would
get into the habit of adapting the
fertilizer to the soil instead Of seek
ing a fertilizer that is adapted to the
crop grown
The object in using fertilizer should
be the building up of the soil rather
than growing a certain crop, and a
fertilizer which will balance up the
plant food already in the soil is an
economical fertilizer to use on any
crop, since the effects of its appl1ca-
tioE will show on any crop that Is
adapted to the locality.
A farmer cannot afford to buy all of
the plant food that his crop will use
in it's growth. Then why should he
buy anything that his soil will furnish
to the crop in sufficient Quantities?-
True, some crops will take more of
a certain element Of plant food than
another will. Some crops have the
power of getting more foo from a
soil tina OtherS have.
It is better to remedy this by adopt
ing a iudicious rotation of crops in
which legumes will come in frequent
ly. The legumes will supply +:ts nj
trogen and help to keep up the humus
supply.
It is unfortunate for the farmer
that the fertilizer manufacturers have
adOpted the plan Of recommending
certain mixtures for special crops and
thus presume to adapt the fertilizer to
the crop rather han to sell n goods
on their merits for the nitrogen,
notash and phosphorus acid they con
tain and leave the farmer to select

CHEAP HAY-STACKING OUTFIT.

The material for same consists OF
one stout pole 80 feet long; zoo feet
of No. 8 or No. 9 fence wire for u
lines; 100 feet A-inch rope for pulley
rope; rs feet 3-16-inch line for trip
and return; one pair of double blocks
and one single pulley and hay fork.
A, trip line; b, return line; {, pull
ley rope; D. D, d, guy wires; e, pole;
F, F, pair of double blocks; 6, single
pulley; H, track made by horse going
to and fro. No other instructions a/e
necessary, as the cut explains itself.
l make the stacks as near the shape
as shown in the sketch as possible.
Each stack should contain four or
five tons, as the larger the stack the
less loss by the weather..
The center of the stack while build
ing should be 1t all times the n
or fullest. This will prevent leaks and
much damaged hay. The dotted lines
in the stack show the position OF
sticks that hold the cap.

BEAUTIFY THE FARM YARD.
Well Kept Driyeways Leading Up
to the Farm House An OF
Good Taste.
By Eva Ryman-Gaillard

by V \
Looking at h grounds
ing the farm and suburban homes
through the country, the lack of we'll
planned and welI-cared-for driveways
is n~oticeable; or where kept in good
condition they far too often lead to
the barn by the most direct line of
approach, with no apparent care for
the effect they have on the place as
a whole.
Granting that every foot Of I'M
necessary driveway represents added
labor, and admitting that it must be
we'll cared for, OF take from rather
than add to the beauty of the place,
brings one to the same fact that
must be faced in securing anything
worth having-it means work.
When considering the question or
whether or not the work is really
worth while, the first thought is, ma
turally, of the identifying effect of the
lines as contrasted with straight
ones.
Such consolidation, if carried far
enough, will show that s~paciousness
is a fundamental element Of beauty
and that curved lines have a wonder
full power in seemingly increasing
space if (note the "if") they are so
carried that one cannot see the entire
length of them at one glance.
