STICKS TO HER STORY
Roberta De Janon Defends Cohen,
Whose Faithful Wife collapses

Philadelphia, Jan. 15.-ROberta De
Janon is now in a suite Of private
rooms in St. Agnes hospital, this city
and Ferdinand Cohen is locked up in
a cell awaiting a hearing on the
charge OF abduction and his wife is
in a hospital suffering from nervous
collapse
In spite Of the severe cross exami-
nation to which the young heiress
was subjected, for nearly five hours
tonight, no change in her original
story was brought out.
When she saw her grandfather,
Robert Buist, the millionaire seed
man, in the Office of the assistant SUI
peTintendent of police she threw her
arms around his neck and burst out
crying with her head on his shoulder
and said she was glad to get home,
but insisted that Cohen her compan-
ion, had done nothing to merit any
punishment
Il tried to get him to run away be-
FORE she said to the police.
1t was late tonight before she was
taken from city hall and hurried to
the hospital where rooms had al
ready been engaged
While Cohen was being put
through the third degree his wife
made frantic but Intellectual efforts to
see him and later visited him in his
cell. There was a fearful and affec
tionate scene. The woman promised
to stick to her husband, who, in turn
protested his sorrow and repentance
Mrs. Cohen was so overcome by hel
emotions that it was necessary 10 re
move her to a hospital.
While Miss De Janon was at city
hall she was examined by the police
surgeon, and he reported that NJ
charge more serious than abduction
could be substantiated

physician TO the eyestrain caused by moving

Theillusion by the cinematograph is explain

In order that the moving scene shall be repro

The sand pear is the only pear that
is practically free from blight. 1t is
a very rapid and continuous grower
1t is prolific bearer and requires
less attention and will stand more
abuse than any other fruit tree known
The sand pear comes into bearing
at an early age. and at 10 years old
ordinary trees will yield from 10 to
20 bushels Of pears. The trees usual
ly begin to bear at five years of age
The sixth year each tree will net 2s
cents, the seventh year 30 cents, and
the eighth year 81, the ninth year s.
and tenth year 81 per tree. By plant
Ing "a feet apart 75 trees can be set
to the acre. This would give a mel
return of $500 an acre the tenth year
which would be equal to $4,000 in
vestment at per cent. This is very
conservative estimate. We have seer
ten-year-old trees at different place:
which yielded from 10 to 20 bushels
and large trees which yielded from 81

Modern Farming.

The use of the most modern meth
DDS In farming is by no means re-
stricted to the huge ranches Of this
country. In nearly every locality In
the state farmers are using traction
engines with steam or gasoline for
power to plow and harrow their land.
We know one ranch Of $50 acres-not
large for this state-on which the
plowing and narrowing Is done with
q 20 horsepower gasoline engine. This
hauls four 14-inch gang plows and a
2-horse harrow-the equivalent Of the
work Of twenty horses. The distance
traversed over tough soil Is from two
to two and half miles. an hour. One
harrow Is placed off to the side SO that
the result Is a double narrowing OF
the tract. 1t was considered too small
an area to warrant the initial expense
for the machine, but the owners Of the
ranch are satisfied that 1t will save
its cost In few years. The time Is
coming when the tedium Of farm work
will be laid upon machinery.

Keeping the Soil Fertile.


According to Prof. Whitney Of the
Bureau of Soil, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, a soil to be fertile
must contain a sufficient quantity of
the ash ingredients of the plants to be
cultivated, and these must be In such
soluble condition as to be taken up
by the growing plants. Soils once fer.
tile are said to be exhausted when de.
prived of such food as is required for
plant nutrition, but rest and meliorat-
Ing treatment will. in time, restore
such soils to a fertile condition.
Until past the year 1850 no Just
ideas upon the rotation of crops seem
ed to have been formed in any part of
England.
The rotation or crops affords time
for the disintegrating action of the at
mosphere, rain and frost to prepare
new material from the rock particles
In the soil and get 1t in form to be
used by the plant. One crop may use
up the available food of a particular
kind faster than 1t cen be prepared
by these natural agencies. When prop.
erly managed 1t enables one plant to
prepare food for another.
All plants exhaust the soil, though
In an unequal degree; plants of diff.
ferent kinds do not exhaust the soil In
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1910-02-18

the same manner; all plants do not
restore to the soil like quantity or
quality of manure. and all plants are
not equally favorable to the growth
of weeds. Upon the above principles
Is based a regular succession Of crops.
Though the system of rotation is
adapted to every soil, no particular
rotation can be assigned to any one
description of soil which will answer
at all times, and on the demand for
different kinds of produce. On clayey'
soils, beans and clover, with rye grass
are generally alternated with grain
crops, and on dry loans or sandy
ground turnips, beets, potatoes and
clover. On rich soils this system OF
alternate husbandry is most conducive
to the plentiful production Of food.
both for men and animals One por-
ton of farm would thus be always
under grain crops, while the other por-
tion was growing roots or cultivated
grasses; but, as the major part OF ar
able lands can not be preserved In
state of fertility with even this kind OF
management, 1t is requisite that the
portion of the farm which Is under
cultivated grasses should be pastured
for two or three years. in order to give
1t time to recruit. The following Is
good rotation of crops: First year.
clover: second, clover; third, corn;
fourth, oats; fifth. wheat. The clover
does we'll with oats, and after an early
moving can be very we'll prepared for

for the benefit Of the potatoes. For
the latter crop we confine ourselves
to an APPLICATION of mixed fertilizer,
consisting of sulphate ammonia, bone
meal and sulphate of potash, applied

There may be no objection to the use
of stable manure for the potato crop,
provided one can obtain 1t well rotted,

about 121 years OLD. few men can be
found today to identify without look
ing at the names, the pictures and
the busts of Isen high in official gov
eminent position or of great fame in
their time in contemporary history.
In the senate chamber placed in
inches about the gallery walls are
busts of the vice-presidents of the
United States. Only the guides of the
Capitol who have their lessons letters
proof, can tell the names Of these
meu without reference to the printed
lists or the printed inscriptions.
When the house cleaning days We're
over only a season ago two pictures
were replaced on the walls of tho
corridor of the senate. One of them
was picture of Patrick Henry and
the other was that of Thomas JEFF
ferson. For weeks the fact that JEFF
ferson's picture has been labeled
Patrick Henry and Patrick Henry's
had been labeled Thomas Jefferson
went undetected Finally a visitor
noticed the error, called attention to
it and had the change made.
Perhaps the most striking picture
in the senate corridors is that which
shows Commodore Perry standing in
the row boat to which he went from
his sinking flag ship Lawrence to the
ship Niagara at the battle of Lake
Erie. Perry is pictured erect in the
boat while a small boy evidently a
"midship-mite," also standing trying
to pull the Commodore down to a
seat so that he will be less exposed
to the furious rain Of the shot Of the
enemy. The boy who is trying to in
duce the commodore to take the nee
essary precaution to save his life was
a nephew of the great sailor, and it
was he who later opened the ports
of Japan to the commerce of the
world So it is that in the painting
are the portraits of two Perrys, both
of whom are famous in the naval an
nails of the United States.

MAD KING OTTO'S LIFE

Some remarkable details rei2ting to the mad
King Otto of Bavaria published from dip
lomatlc by the Giornae d'Itaiia, the London
Chronicle says. Though shut up for forty years
in castles now at the Castle FursteITied, and
though sxty-two years of age Otto is stlu fine,
handsome figure, with magnificent beazd and
flowing gray locks.
The stories about his periodical fits of fury
quite untrue. His court is presided over by Mar
shall Baron Redwiz and consists of few trusty
gentry belonging to the most ancient families Of
the Bavaran aristocracy.
King Otto suffers terribly from insomnia and oft
en- sits up in bed half the night staring toward the
door, al IL expecting somebody to enter. He, how
ever, rises punctually every morning at and mute
y allows himself to be dressed by his valet. He
has q holy horror of soap and water, and of hav-
ing his hair and nails cut, SO that servants have
to await patiently favorable day for these opera
tons, when the poor patient is in state of com
plete apathy. King Otto smokes incredible guam
titles of cigarettes and is always putting away
when he is absorbed in his favorite pastime of
studying the operate music of his pet composer,
Verdi Often he causes the castle to resound all
day long with the melodies of "Rigoletto."
The diplomat relates that the first symptom Of
brain decay in the young prince till then so
bright forceful and courageous, was manifested
during the FrancoGerman Just before the
seige of Paris Kaiser William summoned him to the
headquarters of the general staff and kept him I'M
der observation in company with Bismarck and
Moltke the reason being that King Otto had called
out squad of cavalry and ordered them to charge
straight at stone wall, which, he insisted, was
body of the enemy's infantry
He began preaching everywhere the stern neces-
sity Of concluding peace with France at any price.
Soon after intercepted letters brought to the
Emperor William which the Bavarian prince had
been dispatching secretly to the enemy. 1t was
then that the old kaiser sadly sent for the demented
prince, decorated him with the order Of the iron
cross for service rendered in the campaign and
packed him off under medical escort for pleas
ure trip in Spain anG Italy.
