Making Glover Hay.

My method is to cut it down after the dew is of in the morning or late in the afternoon. Before it gets very dry I start the tedder and run over 1t three or four times with this machine. Late in the evening I put it up in tall, slender shocks, which stand there until next morning, when it is hauled into the barn and a large quantity of it put together-the more the better, but it Is not tramped in. If the weather is fair I often allow it to stand in the shock for two or three days and 1t dries out in the shock.

KohIrabl.

The kohlrabi is one of the most popular vegetables in European coun- tries. In America this vegetable has never been popular because very few people have tried it, and, therefore. are not familiar with its merits. When produced under proper conditions it is more delicate in flavor than tur- nips This vegetable should be planted in moist soil and the plants thinned in the row so that they will not stand more than six or seven inches. The rows should be about 15 inches apart. if to be cultivated with a wheel hoe, while they should be 2S to 30 inches apart if a horse cultivator is to be used.

THIN HOSE IS VERY NAUGHTY
Cincinnati Judge Declares Young Girls Shouldn't Dress to Attract the
 Attention of Men.

Cincinnati, O.-Hazel Arnold, fifteen, and Ida Thomas, fourteen. were brought before Judge John A Cald- well of the juvenile court because they had been saucy to the police when officers objected to their al- legged actions.
 Young girls like you must not wear rats and bangs and Grecian bands around the hair" said Judge Caldwell, criticizing their appearance. ''I pro pose to do all in my power to break up this kind of costuming by young girls-the kind of dressing that at- tracts the undue attention of men. It Is one of the greatest causes of juve- nile delinquency, and I do not see what any mother is thinking about to allow her daughter to get herself up In any such fashion.
 'I believe in modern attire for young girls. It hurts me every time go along the street and see a young girl in short dress wearing fancy open work slippers and thin. fancy stock lngs with a slip of dress and a rat or Grecian band in her hair or with her hair bobbed down over her fore head. A girl in a short dress should never wear low-necked costume"

This was their place of confine- ment during the winter of 1862 and 1863.

~HoBBLE HIP" LATEST PERIL
London Physician Adds Phrase to Medical Dictionaries and Warns
 Women of Danger.

London.-Now comes the "hobbIe hip" to take its place in medical die tionaries. According to a London physician wearers of the hobble skirt little realize the bodily dangers which may come from incasing their hips in these limb-fettered dresses.
 Only recently, he. said, a young woman complained to him that after a days shopping she felt herself suf- fering from a kind of semi-paralysts in her hips and legs-a feeling like that experienced when one has al- lowed her feet to Ego to sleep"
 "I discovered that she was a wearer of a hobble skirt" said the physician, and a 'hobble hip was the natural outcome If women only knew that 90 per cent. of their illnesses have been due to tight lacing they would not incur further risks by tight skirt ing."

AN ODD ENDOWMENT
PhiIanthropist Gives Kansas
 College a Cemetery
ln Time This Unique Gift Is Ex- pected to Net More Than One Million Dollars to Bene-
 ficiaries.

Topeka, Kan.-Nearly all colleges have large endowments of money, se- curities and real estate given by friends and by people interested in the cause of education. The funds are all invested in bonds, stocks and real estate, which do exceptionally well if they return more than five or six per cent. on the investment. Many. re- ligious organizations have similar en- dowments. But Washburn college of Topeka and the Topeka Young Mems and Young Women's Christian as- sociations have one of the most novel endowments in the country. It is a cemetery and as far as known this is the only college in the United States which numbers among its chief as- sets share in the profits of ceme- tery. Many churches have cemeteries, but the Topeka Y. W. c. A. and Y. M. c. A. are believed to be the only non sectarian religious organizations with an endowment of this kind.
 A. B. Whiting, a Topeka merchant, decided to leave a permanent endow- ment to the two Topeka institutions. He selected S25,OOO as the beginning of his endowment and then began casting about for some plan of invest ment which would actually net the greatest income to the three institu- tions to which he desired to contrib uate. He investigated all kinds of business ventures, bond and stock returns and real estate investments and finally decided upon cemetery as the best possible investment for the college and Christian associations. His investment of the modest endow- ment is expected to return to the col lege and the two young peoples asso- citations considerably more than mil lion dollars before the sources Of revenue from the sale of lots in the cemetery are cut of.
 Mr Whiting bought the Mount Hope cemetery grounds, 16O acres, one and one-half miles west of Topeka. The land alone cost $16.OOO and left $9.OOO

The woman he loved is dead, but the old man has not been told, in fact he refused to speak of her from the very day when he said to his father:
 Since you will not let me have her I have no other ambition and may as well spend the rest of my days in bed" Joseph went to bed. Joseph did not get up. He continued in bed day after day, week after week, year after year, until the sensation of his course waned and be became more or less of an institution in Milton.
 Now he is so weak from staying in bed so long that he has lost the use of his legs He could not walk about now if he tried.

WILL SHOOT TO KILL
OKLAHOMA "MooNsHINE QUEEN"
 TIRED OF REVENUE MEN.
fingered at Lovers Arrest-She Is Crack Shot and She Promises to Do More Than Scare
 Officers.

Muskogee, Okla.-Revenue officers whose hats were shot off by Maude Black, comedy dark haired girl, when they went prowling into the Kiamichi mountains, seeking "moonshiners," are not going to get off so easy next time, according to her declaration in court here. She is held as witness in case against John Thompson and Jim" Cantrell, captured in a raid near Eufaula. The girl is Thomp- sons sweetheart, and, angered by his arrest, she threatens to take better aim hereafter.
 She declared she was an expert rife and revolver shot, and in answer to a query as to her craftsmanship said calmly: ,'Oh, could shoot that officers star off his breast at 100 yards without any trouble. Once I shot two officers hats of their heads at about that distance when they came nosing around too near. could have killed them. but didn't want to do that. l stood guard, you know, while John and Jim worked the still"
 Maude Black is barely out of her teens, but has earned the title of Queen of the Moonshiners.' Her hair is of the darkest hue and she wears it in two long braids over her shoul- ders.
 Questioned as to her knowledge of the art of making white mule," the monshine whisky of the Ozarks, she professed to know all of the tricks of the trade, saying she had learned them while a small girl Although living in a part of the state where the worst desperadoes of many state, have fled to escape the meshes of the law, she declares she freely mingled with these men with perfect safety and that they are all her friends.
 The still is located in a section of the mountain region where one wild ravine follows another, and the only habitations seen for miles are the lit tie one-room cabins of the men, who have gone there to get away from civ ilization or from possible apprehen- sion and punishment for misdeeds. It is at the head of a deep ravine of more than a mile in length, and ac- cess can be obtained only by entrance at the lower end or by tumble of 200 feet or more down the steep sides.
 A path leads down in a zigzag man ner from the cabin on the ridge above. and along this the girl says that she has sat for many hours at time on guard while the men worked in the little still shed below. It was while she was away and the men were asleep that the officers made their rush and captured the two men.

LOCATE A PIE FARM

 BARE PASTORS SHAME.
Pennsylvania Preacher Must Now Ex' plain Why He Buried Pastry and Cakes That Overzealous
 Parishioners Donated.

Tidioute, Pa.-What Rev. Murray Wrexler, the pastor of the Union Re formed church of Tidioute, has been doing with the cakes. pies and crul- Iers which his fair parishioners have been showering on him for two years was found out in the absence of Rev. MT. Wrexler
 As for sentiment among the donors of the pies in question, mere words cannot express it. No punishment would be too severe, they say, for a man guilty of such an act as that with which Rev. Mir Wrezler is charged.
 Rev. MT. Wrexler's congregation is made up largely of women, young and -old, of various denominations, who vie with each other on giving samples of their pies and cakes to their be- loved minister, who invariably ac- cepted the gifts with gracious smiles and profuse thanks.
 An oversupply of cakes, pies, tarts, mullins, etc, accumulated in the par sonage's pantry and a problem con- rronted the young pastor. An athlete, he dared not eat the smallest gem of the lot, he could not give them away for fear of offending his parishioners. nor could he refuse to accept them for the same season.
 Tactfully he presented the matter to Mrs. Dolan, his housekeeper, who had been much annoyed at the ire quent visits to the parsonage of wom- en and girls bringing their baskets of pies and cakes. Mrs. Dolan didn't know what to do, so she called in her husband, the sexton. He said the only thing to do was to dig a hole in the far end of the garden and bury the stuff
 The minister readily agreed to this novel idea, and, swearing the sexton 70 eternal secrecy, instructed him to wrap the picnic provender in heavy paper and bury it at dead of night Dolan did so, and each evening after that he would call for such pastry as had been brought during the day.
 This had been going on long time when some telephone men who had been digging up an old pole discov- cred the pie graveyard, and trouble awaits Rev. MT. Wrexler.

reled and kept from freezing can be stored indefinitely. Home made lime sulphur can also at present be made cheaper than the home-prepared Dor deaux mixture, so far as cost of in gradients are concerned. The choice on grounds of economy is, therefore. merely between the expenditure of money or time and labor.
 Home made boiled concentrated lime-sulphur may be made as follows: Sulphur 100 pounds Lime, best grade. .......... 55 pounds Water sufficient to make 50 gallons.
 Slake the lime mix the sulphur into a thin paste with little water, add 1t to the lime, add sufficient water to make 60 gallons, bring to boil and boil vigorously for 30 to 45 minutes The sediment is then allowed to set tie, after which the clear dark amber colored liquid is drawn off and may be stored in casks for future use.
 In making this solution large iron kettle or cooker of some sort is neces- sary. A stock feed cooker of large capacity will answer. Fig. shows a satisfactory form. The solution can also be made with the use of direct steam, and this means has been ire quently employed when large quanti- ties of the material are made.
 With our present knowledge, the strength of lime-sulphur to use de pends upon it's density. This may be determined by a cheap and simple instrument called the hydrometer. This consists of hollow. glass tubel

Kansas and married David Nation. who sympathized with her temperance principles.
 During her career Mrs. Nation wrecked hundreds of saloons, using a hatchet, which became as well known as she. She was absolutely without fear, invading saloons, demonshing mirrors and furniture and assailing bartenders and proprietors without re- gard for her own safety. She had many narrow escapes from injury and was roughly handled on several occa- sions. l
 So great is the extent of her fame that down in the heart of the Pana- manian wilderness, there is wayside native saloon, with the rough sign conspicuously displayed:
 "All Nations Welcome Except Car rie!"
 Carrie Nation regarded herself as woman with mission. She declared that hers was the right hand of God and that she had been commissioned to destroy the rum traffic in the United States The emblem of her mission was hatchet, and her cam paign against the saloon was country wide. She suffered Imprisonment, abuse, ridicule, was even called in sane. and at the end of nine years re- tired with money enough to enable her to buy a farm in Arkansas. A good deal of her money was derived from the sale of souvenir hatchets and the remainder from lectures.

The property has been deeded to a board of trustees, of which MT. Whiting is president and also general superintendent of the cemetery. This board has been incor- porated for 1000 years and it Is bound to maintain the cemetery forever. No grave can ever be neglected, as under the terms of the charter the board is compelled to set asfde a certain part of its revenue to go into a perpetual care fund, the interest on this fund being sufficient to care for the prop erty.
 The college and the Christian asso- citations receive two-thirds of the en- tire sum obtained from the sale of lots in the cemetery, and they can use the money for any purpose they decide. No one except the actual work CTS in the cemetery receive a salary and no dividends except to the col lege and Christian associations are declared. The college receives about one half of the total amount received from the sale of lots. The Young Women's Christian association re- ceives the next largest share and the Y. M. c. A the next division. All the rest of the money from the sale of lots and the amount received for open. ing graves and caring for lots goes into the perpetual care fund of the cemetery.

 Experiment Station.)
 The spraying of economic plants for the control of insect and fungous ene- mics has markedly increased within the past decade. This is largely due to the work of experiment stations in demonstrating the effectiveness of the operation and the profit attending it. Great improvements in spray machi- cry and materials have helped much towards the adoption of spraying as an annual farm operation, and espe- cially is this true of the fruit growing industry. The progressive orchardist today recognizes the necessity of timely, thorough and intelligent appli- cation of insecticides and fungicides and most profitable markets.
 The increase of spraying operations has, however, been accompanied by serious problems for the solution of which the grower turns to the expert menter. The use of bordeaux mixture, for many years the standard orchard spray, and even today recognized as the best all-around fungicide known, has been accompanied by injury to fruit and foliage.
 Complaints of such injury have been increasing with each season and are not confined to any section of the country. The severity of the injury varies in degree and in different sea sons. It has long been known that bordeaux mixture cannot be used with safety on the peach and Japanese
