His timothy meadow has died out. and

Such losses as these are not consid-

THE FARM TELEPHONE INDrsPEN.

The telephone has become the most

Every morning and evening IL tells him
just how many cars of vsgt tables or
fruit In his section have been shipped to
the various markets and what pr ces are

1t warns him of FROST and storms, en-

by drawing upon the over-supply of la
borbor at other points and keeps him
within as close touch with every detail
of tie industry in which he is int rested
as though he Wis ted every IA m In his

In California, Colorado and throughout
the south various associations of fruit
growers connect their individual members
by tie ephone and at certain hours each
day all the members in the various lines
are called up by a given signal, at the
same instant, and reports as to tn condi-

Moving Pictures of
Their Wedding Taken

A new fancy OF fashion was introduced
yesterday, when Miss Marguerite Mar
vim and George Valentine Schmitt re-
hearsed their wedding before a moving
picture camera, in order that they might
preserve record of the happy event.
The authentic ceremony was performed
without picture accompaniment in the
evening In All Angels church. Natural
ly the bride wore "flmy" lace but she
omitted the picture" hat. =.
Just what Mr.. and Mrs. Schmitt will
do with the moving picture was not ex-
planned Possibly they will keep them
IN readiness in the spare room. and when
one or the other is cross "a great many
years hence, Of course) the other can
start the machine going and show him
Tor hen how much nicer he Cor she) was
on the day of the wedding Seriously
such a moving picture show would be
rather a pretty thing on, say, golden
wedding anniversary. Society may take
up the fancy as a fad.

Bricks That Float

There is no particular demand at the
present time for bricks that will float.
and 1t does not seem probable that there
ever will be. And that is the very reason
why the new floating brick will be looked
upon a curiosity
1t is a real brick, made for building
construction. and the only queer thing
about It is that IL floats like block of
wood when thrown into the water The
brick has been designed for use as an
insulation In the construct on OF cold
storage plants. breweries, and refrigera-
ton plants. and II meant to take the
place of cork. flax, charcoal iher and
sawdust. all OF which are imperfect In
sulatlng materials. II has been found
that the Use of the latter has often been
attended by rot and foulness. The new

Guinea Pigs as LalUns MoUers

A curious, but successful experiment
is being made on a number of private
lawns in Kent and is about to be tried
by a golf club in the neighborhood of
Greenhithe. The idea is the novel one
of substituting the guinea pig for the
moving machine and the weed killer.
Around the lawn is arranged low
wire barrier, and into the Enclosure
are turned a number of guinea pigs;
or better. a passage is made from their
hutchl to the lawn. The animals at
once attack all the worst weeds-the
plantains first, then the dandelions and
daisies. These broad-leaved plants.
which no moving machine will touch,
are killed by the persistent cutting Of
the guinea pigs teeth. When they
have finished the weeds. which are
broad-leaved and succulent, they pro-
coed to the grass In a short time the
lawn looks as If il had been cut by
the closest machine. The persistent
cutting of the leaves kills the weeds.
which can stand almost any other
treatment, but does no harm to the

Agricultural Bank in the Philippine

During the period from October l.
1908. to May 20, 1911. the Agricultural
Bank of the Philippines made 166 loans.
advancing in all 4sS,soO pesos ($24s.-

No person or corporation can borrow
less than $25 gold, nor more than s1z.-
500 from the bank. The rate of inter-

and the maximum period for which a
loan may be made is 10 years.

again as II was under the administra-
ton of the moving machine, and not

the animals have just been turned loose,
is a mass of dandelions.
In this neighborhood 1t has been found
that the guinea pigs do not suffer at
all by being left to work In winter as
well as in summer. Indeed they arc
healthier than under the usual treat

Directly after the death Of Mr., Lin
coin who was shot by Wilkes Booth,
younger brother of Edwin Booth, four
persons were arrested, tried and con-
demned to death. One of the four was
Mrs. Surratt, a resident of Washington
city. She had, as / remember, one
daughter and one son. John Surratt, the
SON.. was tried for his life a year or
more afterwards. Poor as / was after
the war, I subscribed for a washington
city newspaper and read the story OF
the trial from beginning to end. John
Surratt escaped his mothers fate, but
the evidence pro and con and the
speeches of the lawyers was a thrilling
recital.
In one Of the late magazines the man
who conducted the hanging Of the four
tells how those doomed ones appeared
to him as they advanced to the place OF
hanging. Mrs. Surratt was in front,
supported by two priests, almost faint
ing as they led her along. Payne, the
bravest one. showed no fear. He came
last, and his biographer says: HE
walked like king to be crowned--his
fearless blue eyes rowing over the scat
fold. his yellow hair shining like halo
in the SUM-" A quartette of soldiers
walked behind each one. The German
Atzerohjt and Herold were timid and
shaking. Mrs. Surratt was heavily
Iveiled. They were all hung at one time
and were cut down in 80 minutes.
After they were lifted into their wait
ing coffins a bottle was placed in each
coffin with their names inside. Not one
of these persons shot at Mr. Lincoln,
but madness ruled the hour.
