MARY PETERSON CUTS CAPERs

Mary Peterson, daughter of Mrs.
Sophia Peterson of the West side, who
only about eight months ago had been
paroled from the Girls Home at Sank
Centre, was caught masquerading as a
boy in Minneapolis the latter part Of
last week and detained. She had pur-
chased some boys clothing at the Val.
E. Kasparek Clothing store, ostensibly
for her husband whom she said was in
. Canada, but in reality to masquerade
AS young man and travel.
The girl had gone to Minneapolis and
there purchased her ticket for Chicago
and sent her trunk ahead Of her when
her peculiar actions in men 8 clothing
and imperfect disguise was noticed by
a detective who placed her under ar
rest. Upon being taken to the matron
at the police station she owned up to
her sex and stated that never more
would she go masquerading in boys
clothes as the trousers were too hard
to keep up. They were slipping down
on her and she was smoking a cigarette
when taken into custody.
She has been returned to the Girls
Home at Sank Centre.

to set them outs
This is a good time to get the lawn
raked up and the winter g accumula-
tion Of trash out Of sight.
Spade up the ground around the
shrubs and trees, leaving about two
feet Of cultivated land about each
plant. ..~',
Make a thoroughly fine seed-bed for
sowing garden-seeds. Good prepare.

mer, and better crops. -. =
Plant onions, beets, radish, Alaska

condition. -%.. J. -:
A few muskmelon and watermelon
seed may be started in berry-boxes or
paper cofes\ and transplanted to the
field when danger Of frost is past.
Forty pounds Of pure Kentucky Blue
Grass, Eve pounds Of solid Red Top
and three pounds Of White Clover per
acre makes good lawn seed-mixture.
|: Cut out the dead canes Of raspber-
ries and currant, if this was not done
last fall. Burn all trimmings at once,
as they are apt to contain insects.
/ Bulbs, such as tulips, narcissus, etc.,
that have been forced in the house,
may now be put in the garden, and
will bloom again later this season or
early next spring.
A good annual vine, to cover up the
porch or unsightly stumps, is the wild
cucumber. Trailing nasturtiums or
morning glories are also often used for
the same purpose.
Trim out the dead limbs, suckers and
branches that are too close together
among the shrubs. Shrubs that flower
in the spring are through blooming.
Why not transplant some ferns from
the woods to the north or east side Of
the housed This can often be done to
advantage. If put on the south or west
side, the wind and sun soon destroy
them.
Harden off all plants before setting
from the house or hotbed to the open
ground. This is done by gradually re-
ducing the amount Of water, and CIV
ing more air. It causes the plant to
partly ripen up it's wood, and it is thus
better. able to stand the change to eli
mattel conditions outside. Plants
properly "hardened off," have a dull
purplish color and firm wood.

Jewels In a FloWer-Bed.

The recovery of quantity of stolen
jewelry from flower-bed was de-
scribed at Kingston-on-Thames police
court the other day, when a general
servant was charged with theft from
her mistress, resident of Ivydene,
Southborough-road, Surbiton, London
The lady had missed pearl pin and
a pearl and diamond ring. Thinking
she might have lost the jewels in the
street, she issued printed notices Of
fering a reward for their recovery.
When she lost number of other
things she placed the matter in the
hands of the police. The detective
said that from what the prisoner told
him he searched the garden, and in
one Of the flower-beds found some Of
the jewelry. The rest he found in
the prisoners bedroom

SEPARATING YOUNG AND OLD
PuiIets Need Plenty of Flesh Forming
Food, Such as Barley, With Less
Fattening Feeds.

Young chickens, like young people,
have more or less timidity and there
fore it is not we'll to run young and
old together, at least it is much bet
ter to have them separate If you can
well do So Then again the pullets are
still growing and they need plenty of
flesh forming feed, such as barley,
bone, meat with less of fattening
foods. The hen should not be deprived
Of these either, but she can get along
on less, as what you give her will not
be taken away from the purpose for
which you intended it, as in the case
with the pullet, which not only needs
these things for making the egg, but
to go toward the development of her
body. 1t naturally follows, too, that
the developed bird will require less
feed than the pullet, and because the
pullet is somewhat timid she is likely
not to get enough, or even her share.
The young will feed more free among
themselves and if you can possibly dc
so, keep them to themselves.

TRAINING THE DOG TO WORK
For Farm Use Scotch ColIies Are Most
Useful and Besides They Are
Most CompanionabIe.

Scotch Collies are the most useful
dogs for the farm, besides being the
most companionable. They are natu-
rally intelligent and do not range over
the country, as do most dogs With
proper care Scotch Collie pup can
be trained to do almost any dog trick
A well-trained Collie will bring stock
from the pasture more satisfactorily
than most boys. The herdsman at the
Kansas Agricultural college has Col
lie dog which is very useful for that
purpose.
The demand for Scotch Collies is
steadily increasing as their value on
the farm becomes known. 1t is better
to buy pups or young dogs, as they are
more easily trained. They usually are
black, with tan legs and tan dots over
the eyes and feet, tail tipped with
white, and often with white collars.
With their large, shaggy, silky coats
they are very pretty. AS house dogs,
they have no equals
The pup must be treated kindly.
Seeding and whipping will soon spoil
him. In training him, always use the
same words and he will soon learn to
know what you mean. After he has
learned one lesson we'll it is no trouble
to train him to do other things. When
he is older if you have to whip him
for disobedience, be sure that he is
again friendly with you before you let
him go. If you do not you are likely
to spoil him. 1t requires patience to
train a dog right.

KEEPING LICE FROM POULTRY
Maine Experiment Station Bulletin
Recommends Simple and Quite
inexpensive Treatment.

One of the difficult and trying prob
lens Of the poultry keeper is to keep
his poultry houses and stock free
from lice, mites, etc. There are many
proprietary preparations on the mar
ket to combat these, most of which
work satisfactorily. However, they
are more or less expensive. The
Maine experiment station has just is
sued a bulletin on the subject and
recommends a treatment which ap-
pears to be fully as simple as any
thing else, and much less expensive.
The powder made by the station at
cost of only few cents a pound is as
follows: Take three parts of gasoline
and one part Of crude carbolic acid.
Mix these together Add gradually,
while stirring, enough plaster of paris
to take up all the moisture. The liquid
and dry plaster should be thoroughly
mixed and stirred so the liquid will be
uniformly mixed through the plaster.
When enough has been added, the re-
sulting mixture should be dry, pink
ish-brown powder, having a strong car
bolic odor and a rather less pro-
nounced gasoline odor. Be sure that
the crude carbOlic acid is secured.
If spray is desired instead of the
powder, simply take three parts of
kerosene and one part Of crude car
bolic acid. If birds are infested with
lice the best way to get rid of them
is to use the powder, which is to be
worked into the feathers. Remember,
a single application will not be suffi-
cient, because where there are lice
present there are also unmatched eggs
or nits. Make a second application
four days to a week after the first,
ton may be necessary.

Front Elevation.

from time to time as the flock is in
creased, writes Thomas F. Maher Of
New York in the Farm and Home.
The roosting room is placed in the
central part of the house and the
Toosts are in such a position that no
drafts can possibly reach the hens.
The ventilator, with openings close to
the floor, tends to draw the fresh air
from the windows toward the roosts
and carries impure air out, while an
abundance of fresh air is around the
hens
For a foundation brick or concrete
can be used, but for cheapness sheet
metal can be used and the house built
on posts. In this case it is advisable
to use double floor. Before mailing
the flooring it is good plan to tack
wire netting on the beams to prevent
rats from gnawing through.
The house is 81 feet inches long
and Is feet wide. The following bill

By means Of seed corn selection, the
corn crop is moving northward.
Poultry manure is particularly good
for forcing the growth Of onions.
Tt is none too soon to begin to think
about putting UP silo for next fall.
For the West there is still no bet
ter variety Of early potatoes than
Early Ohio.
A proper kit for farm work is about
as handy thing as the average farm
er can buy.
The asparagus should have had a
coat of manure last fall, but better
late than never.
Tobacco stems strewn on the ground
at the base of rose plants will help to
keep away insects.
Big prices for sweet wotato plants
demand first pulling, or no later than
the second at the most.
No land is so rich that It's owner
can afford to waste the manure that
is made by his farm stock.
Don't plant the large varieties OF Gu
cumbers expecting to raise as many
as if the cluster kinds were used.
Some enterprising gardener should
work ur fancy trade on AL vege'
tables in the neighborhood Of cities OF
5000 or over.
Nurse the young clover and the al
falfa, plan for more Of both another
season, also a large acreage OF root

Alfalfa does not attain maturity un

do not SOW it expecting to get the
best results in less time.
For general or common use, caus
