SHOWERS JEWELRY
ON LONDON STREETS

LONDON, Aug 26.--An extraordin-
airy scene was witnessed in Great
Portland street, West, recently. A
married woman who lives with her
daughter in Portland court locked
herself in her room and proceeded to
throw hundreds OF articles of jewelry
and other objects of value from the
window into the street
Some hundreds of people quickly
gathered and for about an hour eXcit-
ing scenes were witnessed. There was
a continuous shower of jewelry, sill
yer trays, hair brushes and, in fact,
everything that the woman could lay
her hands on. People gazed up at
the window startled, and some were
struck by the articles which fell
from the second-hoor window
Fruitless efforts We're made to re-
strain the woman, and when the po-
lice attempted TO force the door open
she declared that she would throw
herself into the street If they did so.
Her threats were regarded seriously
and the police accordingly got a large
canvas sheet in readiness in the
event Of her jumping out OF the win
dow.
Most Of the property laying scat
tered about the street was promptly
collected by people in the crowd and
large number Of articles were re-
turned, but some have still TO be
traced. The value of the articles sc
strangely distributed was said to be
hundreds of pounds.
Ultimately the police secured q
ladder and entered the fat from the
I rear.

Don't have any overhead ventila-
ton in your poultry house.
Don't feed corn alone unless you
desire to make your poultry fat
Hens will rarely eat eggs if they
are well supplied with broken bone,
oyster shells and clam shells.
Give the fowls occasionally some
grit made of powdered limestone. 1t
will break up easier if heated red
hot
Do not feed stimulating foods to
your poultry. Condition powders of
all kinds are stimulating. AS a
corrective give a feed of charred
corn once a week.
Sometimes hens are found dead
under the percheS while seemingly
fat and in good condition. Often
the trouble is that they are too fat
and die of apoplexy.
Grit may be given in shape of
sharp gravel, broken deli in very
small pieces, broken oyster shells,
etc 1t is an absolute necessity.
The fowls, to be healthy and lay
well, must have something to do
besides loafing around and eating.
Therefore compel them to scratch
for their living.

favor of the discing there is no
question of its value in preparation
for a corn crop and the many excel
lent reports from farmers in various
places surely speak well for the
practice. The Experiment Station
strongly recommends the use of a
properly weighted disc harrow for
stalk land before breaking, This is
really best done in the fall or early
winter when the season will allow
of it, bat the advantages of discing
in the spring are sufficiently impOr-
tant to permit of its being almost
universally recommended.

He was Closing Up.

Pat McGinnis came over from the
old country and established himself
on a small farm. Several years
after his brother Mike came over
on a visit. Pat had been writing
to Mike about the great amount of
luscious fruit he had on his farm,
and it was Mikes first inquiry in
regard to this fruit. Pat, after
showing Mike through the orchard.
came to a persimmon tree. He
climbed up and threw down a ripe
persiInmon to Mike and asked him
how he liked it.
It's foine," said Mike. Give me
another
Pat threw down another, not
quite so ripe, and Mike ate it, and
remarked that it was not so good
as the other. So Pat found a very
green fruit and said to Mike:
Here's foine wan, but to injoy
1T ye should chew it quickly and
swallow it"
Mike caught the green fruit and
munChed it ravenouSly and swal-
lowed it quickly. About then Pat
heard quite a sputtering and spit
ting, and he called to Mike as to
what was ailing him. Mike was
finally able to stammer out:
Come down, Pat, quickly. If We
want to hear from your dear old
father in Ireland, come down anna
diately, fur I'm going to close up

Words.

Whenever you hear an unfamiliar
word or pronunciation, refer at once
to your book if possible; if not, keep
it in your mind and do so at the
first opportunity When you have
discovered the meaning of the word
and its proper pronunciation, you
have learned a valuable lesson. In
addition you will have enlarged
your vocabulary, which is a very
important matter, particularly with
the young.
Take particular notice Of words
that are always spelled the same
and are sometimes nouns and some
times verbs; for instance, abstract
the verb, is accented on the last
syllable, while abstract, a term in
law, is accented on the first syllable.
"Acclimate" should be accented
on the second syllable, although it
is more often placed on the first.
"Lamentable," on the contrary, is
accented on the first syllable.
"Squalor" is given the long sound
of a, and America" should be pro-
nounced as spelled, and not "Amur-

Discing Land for Corn.

Comparatively few men realize
the value of discing land before
breaking, especially breaking for
corn. If corn is to follow corn, this
practice is especially valuable as
the harrow works both as stalk
cutter and as a soil pulverizer,
The saving of the corn stalks, as
compared with burning, is of much
benefit for the amount of humus
added and also for the increase in
the water holding capacity of the
soil. BY the use of the harrow the
stalks can be chopped up and when
turned under they will so thorough
ly mix with the surface soil that
they will rot quicker and will also
be out eff the way of the cultivatorS
in cultivating the corn crop.
Still another benefit of no little
importance is the pulverization OF
the surface soil which allows of
more water being absorbed and also
forms mulch for holding moisture
which would otherwise be lost, This
mulch formed on the surface tends
to keep the soil much more mellow
and consequently the breaking will
be found to be much easier on disc
ed than on crested land. This mel
low pulverized surface layer form
ed by the disc is also of considera,
BILE importance in establishing the
connection between the surface soil
and the subsoil after blowing SC
that water may be drawn up from
below.
