The death of Colonel Swope was at
tended by circumstances which mysti-
fed the millionaire's family and close
friends. DR.. Hyde had treated Colonel
Swope during his last hours, and had,
in signing the death certificate. given
apoplexy as the cause of his demise.
When in December an epidemic of
typhoid fever ragged in the Swope
household, during which eight persons
were stricken and one, Chrisman
Swope, died under conditions that
caused much apprehension among the
attending nurses, John G. Paxton, the
executor, and Mrs. Logan Swope, moth
or of Christman, instituted vigorous
investigation. DR.. Edward L. Stewart
came forward with the statement that
on Nov. 10 DR.. Hyde had secured from
him an active typhoid culture. After
DR.. Stewart had divulged this infol-
nation, DR.. Hyde was placed under
the constant surveillance of detectives.
DR.. Hyde prescribed for Colonel Swope
during the latter's Illness The pa
tient was given a digestive capsule on
Oct g. Twenty minutes later, while
reading a newspaper, he went into con-
vulsions. His neck and limbs stiffen-
ed and he groaned in great pain. He
rallied long enough to say: Il wish
had not taken that medicine"

scrau,ur BARK from Trees.

AS to the advisability of scraping
rough, or shaggy, bark from apple
trees, Prof. H. A. Surface of Pennsyl-
vania says:
This depends upon the conditions
in general. / would advise such treat
ment, especially where it is rough,
scaly bark of old trees; but If 1t be
bark that has been roughened by the
injurious action of oil sprays, or by
burning with fire or by some other
injury, | can assure you that am
satisfied it would be wrong to scrape
off such bark; because it is to the ten
der bark underneath just what scab
on an animal Is to sore which 1t
is protecting Therefore, If the bark
beneath be tender so that 1t would
be injured by being scraped, 1t is not
best to do it. In the case OF an ordi-
nary healthy tree ii Is certainly best,
but at injured places, such as above
mentioned. it is advisable to scrape
gently. If at all. On an old tree you
can not apply enough pressure with
short-handled doe or bark-scraper to
do any injury, and you will remove
many insect pests. such as cooling
moth. woolly aphis and certain hiber-
mating creatures. and expose scale in
sects and other pests to the action of
the weather and of the insecticides,
which you will doubtless apply before

Hnw to select a Fnrm.

Tine following is taken from an ar
ticle in the North Dakota Farmers
Institute Annual
IF the farm is old, a good deal may
be learned by noticing the crops grow
ing, or taking account of the yields
per acre. But if the land is new some
other method must be followed. Per-
haps as good a one as is at present
in use is that employed by the rail-
roads in making their soil surveys.
Provide yourself with spade or
pinch augur having shank at least
40 inches in length. Find a corner Of
your land and work from that along
one line. On a ruled piece Of paper
indicate the forties as you go along.
Go to the center or a high point and
map the whole area. Get the hills
accurately located and II there is a
creek fix its location.
AFTER the map is completed divide
your land into ten-acre plots and In
the center Of each make a hole. boring
at least 90 inches deep. and put down
in black and white what you find. In
connection with this, notice the ground
thrown up by badgers. prairie dogs
or gophers. Too much emphasis can
not be laid upon the matter OF sub
soil and subsoil moisture. II marks
the line between arid and productive
lands. II means success or failure.
Where that subsoil in the middle of
summer shows a plenty Of moisture,
the chance becomes a fair assurance
But where the subsoil besides being
dry is leachy in character, unless you
can irrigate or live In the land Of
many rains-don't buy.

Disease in Milk.

Milk, when pure, is the best of food,
but that it may become menace to
health is shown by the following from
high medical authority:
1T has been demonstrated that dis
ease germs may not only survive, but
in many instances actually proliferate
in the milk, and it is not difficult
matter to point out the many ways
by which these germs gain access, es-
pecially when some of the employees
are also engaged in nursing the sick,
or are suffering themselves from some
mild infection while continuing their
duties, or are convalescent from dis
ease, and thus infect the milk while
handling it.
1T is quite conceivable how animals,
in wading in filth and sewage-polluted
water, may affect the udder, and
through it the milk, with the germs
of typhoid fever. We can also appre-
ciate how infected water may convey
the germs when used for washing the
utensils or in deliberate authorizations.
Infection may also take place through
the agency of scrubbing brushes, dish
cloths, flies, and exposure to infected

Use of "Tanlkage."

In view of the fact that there is
much inquiry concerning the use of
tankage, the following description is
here given as published in bulletin 65
issued by the Iowa Experimental Sta
ton:
"Digester tankage is made from
meat scraps, fat trimmings and scrap
bones. These are taken up as fast
as taken from the animals and put
into large steel tank and cooked I'M
der a large steam pressure of 40
pounds to the square inch. which cooks
out the tallow After the steam is
turned off it is allowed TO settle, when
the grease rises to the top and is
drawn off. After the grease is drawn
of the tankage is kept agitated and by
evaporation the water is extracted un-
til the tankage contains about s per
cent moisture. 1t is then taken out
of the tank, allowed to cool, is ground
and stored ready for shipment" Mich

AMERICANS IN INDIA.

Conditions of the Empire Undergo
Ing Remarkable Change.
If the sun were to cease to shine in
India, says the Bombay correspondent
of the Pail Mall Gazette, and it were
still possible to continue to live, the
seasons could with ease be regulated
by the movements of the viceroy.
When the viceregal encourage leaves
the heights of Simia for the plain II Is
announcement of the advent of the
cold weather. OF recent years there
has also been a marked increase in
the number of cold-weather visitors
and there are signs that India is gain
ing in popularity as tins goes on with
tourists CT all descriptions. The four
months beginning with October now
occupy a distinct place in the calendar
of the hotel-keeper, the tradesmen and
the bearers.
Lord Minto's tour is the most extern
sive one ever made by any yicesoy
In single season. 1t covers prac-
tically the whole of India and comes
at most opportune moment. The
new imperial legislative council under
the reform scheme, holds its first ses-
sion in Calcutta after the viceroys
return. Lord Mimic will have an op-
portunity of seeing for himself how
the reforms are received by the peo-
pie, or, rather, the educated classes,
throughout the country. 1t is no holt
day tour.
While the Indian world Is busy with
the details of the viceroys tour, news
comes that party of wealthy Ameri-
cans is to invade India during the
present season. The tourist agency
assures us that they are the elite of
America They confine their pere-
grination to the north of India on
their tour around the world. The con-
ditions of life in India have under
gone a remarkable change in the last
fifty years. In town, where the trav-
eler had formerly to make the best OF
the limited means of accommodation,
now good hotel accommodation Is
available, and there are scores of big
shops. A greater portion of India has
become modern, but the old charm is
lost. In the matter of sport traveller
has to go many miles into the country
to find something worth shooting. For
merly game abounded few PAGES, so
to say, from the wayside stations.
From another point of view the In
novations in the towns do not harmon
lie with their surroundings. Side by
side with an old mosque or an old
Hindoo temple ugly two-storied hotels
rear their heads and the effect is ludi-
crous, but it shows the actual condi.
lions of life in India.

Planting Orchard Gradually.

will suggest that one acre is enough
for the family orchard, writes Min
nesota orchardist. and do not advise
planting it all the first year. As the
years go by you will learn much from
experience. The best location is a north
or east slope, mainly because the trees
will not start growing so soon in the
spring, and because the soil will not
dry out so quickly. One can mulch
trees on south slope to keep the
ground from thawing early in the
spring, but this does little good, for it
also takes cool air to keep the buds
from starting; this condition is more
natural on the north slope. But do not
give up planting an orchard, even If
you do not have the ideal location, be-
cause fruit will do fairly well on south
ern exposure. Be sure to put up a
good fence around the orchard site.

piece of sleight of hand was served
apparently direct from the fowl with
a turkey leg of painted wood.

at the wooden leg for some time.

what to Feed the Calf.

Say what you please, raising calf
by hand 1t not natures way and Is
not so good. but the difference in cost
is supposed to make up for defects.
When the calf sucks it gets tiny
stream of milk that is well mixed with
saliva, which flows copiously at the
same time. This saliva is very neces-
sary to digestion. 1t is really more
important than the butter fat that is
SKINNED out. Milk may be too rich
In cream for the calf.
If the calf drinks its milk 1t takes
II too fast for the saliva TO mix with
it properly: hence the digestion will
not be perfect. But Is there no way
to improve the usual drinking meth
cd? There is, at least to some extent.
It is TO feed a small quantity of milk
at a time. say about pint This
gives time for saliva to collect in the
caIrs mouth between drinks. and the
effecs is much better.
