TIE YOUNG
DETECTIVE.
By DONALD cHAMBERlIN

! The way l got into the detective bust
ness was this: l was about sixteen
years old and Office boy for a detective
bureau. Among other things, l had
charge Of any articles that might be
useful as clews or evidence in cases
worked on by the Office. force. These
articles were kept in a cabinet that
stood in the Office. 1t was kept locked,
and l had the key. The reason for its
being in my possession was that l was
the only one always on hand. I was
naturally interested in these articles
and, having a vivid imagination, con-
jured up all sorts Of improbable stories
connected with them. There were
usually one or more weapons on hand.
and these my favorites.
One day when / was alone in the Of
fee I opened the cabinet and began
handling the contents. There were sew
eral buttons. a razor. two shoes Cnot
mates), a bloody shirt. two knives. one
pistol and q bullet.
The last named had been put in the
day before and had killed a man; there
fore l was very much interested in it,
taking it up and examining It closely.
On it l noticed three scratches Of diff
ferent depth and length, two near to-
gether. the third on the opposite side
Of the circumference. I took up the
pistol and, looking into the muzzle, no.
ticed a bit of rust about as far down
in the barrel as I could see. Then an
idea occurred to me. Might not the
scratches on the bullet have been made
by bits Of rust or other inequalities in
tire barrel e. tbs pasted 1son wh1ehh
was fired?
I knew the pistol in the cabinet had
nothing to do with the bullet. for the
former had been there d long while,
but the pistol from which the latter
had been fired doubtless existed, and II
another ball should be fired from 1t the
same streaks should appear on its sur
face as on the first one.

Plants in a Warm Cellar.

The cellar or basement affords a
refuge for the astonishing surplus of
tender plants to be carried over to
spring.
If the cellar has two or three win
dows through which the sun shines,
group the plants in three faVorite
spots. Even though the temperature
falls pretty near freezing on cold
nights the plants will not suffer but
grow and perhaps bloom.
However, if the cellar be dark and
furnace heated, the plants will suffer,
as the heat would tend to force them
into weak, sickly growth. Such a
cellar should contain a "shut-off"
place for the surplus plants.
Select a corner as far from the fur
mace as possible and partition it off
from the rest of the cellar with boards,
and then tack newspapers, old car
pet or old comforters over it to ex-
clude heat and light. Make this parti-
ton as alright as you can, for the
heat and light must be absolutely shut
off from the plants.
Water the plants thoroughly before
putting them in seclusion and see that
the pots do not rest directly on the
floor. Several times during the win.
ter examine the plants and if too dry
water them. .
Guard against mice; they r very
destructive to live plants. e. V. B.

a plant, if that plant be only the top
of a carrot cut off and placed in a

appear and it will not be long before
the entire saucer will be covered with
a mass of feathery green.
Five cents forth of tall nasturtiuln
seeds may be planted now, and when
up the vines should be allowed to run
over the edge of the window sill, and
turn back, as they will, to seek the

MAASTR|CHT HILLS
Commonplace Elsewhere, They
Are Mountains in Holland.
Character About the Dutch upIands
That Is Quite Their own-it 10
at Meerssen That Netherlands
Take Hilty Proportions

Berlin.-I suppose that a traveller
opening his eyes suddenly upon the
hills near Maastricht, in Dutch Linn
burg, after having been conducted
thither iblindfold from some other
country, would not find them very re-
markable. But let him approach them
over many miles of fiat landscape fol-
following the barge route of the Zuid
Willems canal, and they appear the
most romantic of mountains. The
eye has for so long grown accustomed
to the low skyline and m%onotonous
level that 1t is hungry for a hill. The
spur of wooded heights and the castle
crowned Petersberg seem to rise as if
by magic over the water. Towed by
slow horses, or more frequently pulled
by powerful tugs, the familiar Dutch
barges and schuits, reminiscent of
ploders and the sea, pursue their way
unperturbed by the unaccustomed
heights. 1t is as If Holland had stray
ed into other lands.
Yet there is a character about the
Dutch uplands that is quite their own.
At Meerssen the familiar scenery Of
the Netherlands begins to rock and
swell and adapt itself to the hole of
'~mountaineer as it encounters the coun-
try of the hills. But it struggles to
preserve its nationality, and succeeds.
There is a note of Holland in it all.
For instance, near Geulem, between
the stream and the ridge of hills, is
planted a poplar wood. Through the
glades Of trees, which are placed with
an orderly reserve unusual elsewhere,
glimpses of the swelling green upland
appear, and the mingling of formal for
est with the steep ~valley-side is what
one would imagine a Dutch mountain
to look like If there were mountains
in Holland-and there are. AS the
traveller ascends the valley of the
Geul he discovers lowland scenery
half merged into the romantic atmos-
phere of the hills. An avenue remin-
cent of Hobbema leads the eye to fan
tastic caves and steep a%scents, and a
pdfOu Julu uppCalp Ihut Ail6he haS

not end Unexpectedly in a fantastic
cliff in which an over and a stable
appear strangely.
The outer galleries Of some old quar-
ries have been used as houses, and it
looks somewhat eerie to see a door
open in the rock and an old woman
hobble out, or to see lights at night at
little shattered windows dotted about
in unexpected places in what at first
sight seems to be a barren precipice.
AS the country rises towards Sim
~pelvelde it becomes less wooded, and
takes the character of a rolling up
land Of cornlands and cultivated fields,
here and there becoming a waste of
heather and bracken. The soil is of
a sandy nature, and the top Of the
Vrouwenheide, the highest point in
Holland, abounds in stunted and wind

PL0W CLAY SOILS
DISCRETION NECESSARY LEST
SOILS WASH HEAVILY.
BY M. r. Miller, Professor of Agron-
omy in the College of Agriculture,
University Of Missouri.

Soils which are inclined to be clay
ish Or heavy like those found over
large sections of Missouri are almost
invariably benefited by fall blowing.
This statement is particularly true of
land that is to go to r The freez-
ing of the overturned soil puts it in
much better filth than land not fall
plowed. The fact is a common obser-
walton Of farmers. There r other
benefits, however.
Soils which are plowed in the fall
are more absorptiye of moisture dur
ing the winter; they retain moisture
better during the spring and early
summer; and the bacterial activity is
favorably influenced. Consequently,
land which is properly fall plowed
will almost invariably produce a
larger corn crop than will spring
plowed land.
1t is true with blowing as with all
farm operations, that n cannot
always pillow at just the time or in
just the manner which is best, be-
cause of various practical difficulties,
such as labor troubles, weather inter-
ferences. Therefore, much land is
spring-plowed in Missouri which had
best be fall-plowed, If it were possible
to adjust farm operations.
There are some cases where fall
blowing is not advisable. One Of
these Is where land is so rolling as
to, wash badly. There is nc doubt that
f%all-plowed land washes more than
stubble or sod land, but as compared
with corn-stalk land this is not true.
Naturally, much depends upon the
n in which fall blowing is done.
In the first place, it should be deep
and the land should not be worked
down after blowing. The surface
should be rough so as to absorb the
water that falls-and to prevent run
off. When land is fall plowed and
worked down, washing is greatly in
creased. Land plowed deeply, there
fore, and left rough may wash no

considerable gain can usually be Sc
cured at a very small cost. /.
In many sections of the state sheep
feeders plant cowpeas in the corn at
the last cultivation, and turn sheep
or lambs into the field the latter part
Of September to eat off the under
growth. Lambs will not iniure the
corn, but other sheep will gradually
learn to eat from the hill. Indeed,
this is a profitable method of fatten-
ing yearlings and wethers.
Cowpeas should all be eaten off be-
fore frost, but rape may be utilized
until cold weather.
1t is not good practice to feed
lambs or older sheep on green under
growth and change suddenly to a dry
ration. 1t is best to sell them direct
from the cornfield. However, corn
may be fed with profit during the last
two or three weeks while the sheep
are still eating the underground. The

worse than more level land improp-
erly plowed.
Every man must determine for him
self, however, whether or not his land
will stand fall blowing. AS a matter
of fact, the washing of lands is one
of the greatest factors in soil de-
pletion, a truth that is not sufficiently
well recognized by most people.
Spring blowing is to be preferred,
therefore, IN land that shows any
great tendency to wash.
Again, spring blowing is advisable
when n wishes to turn under a
certain amount of green matter, such
as rye or clover, after it has made its
spring growth. 1t may be more i'm
portant to the land to turn under this
organic matter than 1t is to pillow the
land in the fall. The n great dis
advantage Of fall blowing, outside
Of washing, is that it does not allow
the accumulation of organic matter in
the soil to so great an extent as when
the land Is spring plowed. Conse-
quently, as lands become more worn
and it becomes more and more neces-
sary to build up organic matter, there
are many cases where fall blowing
will become less common and winter
crops will be grown for turning under
in the spring. On good land, how
ever, fall blowing is usually desirable
from the point of view of the imme-
date crop following.
A practice which is taking the
place Of fall blowing to a certain ex-
tent in M issouri is fall disking of
lands. Where lands are disked in the
fall or early winter, particularly corn
stalk land, certain of the advantages
of fall blowing are realized. That is,
the ground Is made more absorptive
of moisture, bacterial action is stimu-
lated, and the land comes through in
the spring considerably looser than
when this fall disking has not been
done. The loosening of the surface
with a disk on rolling land tends to
increase washing and it must be used
with discretion on such lands. Farm
ers are coming more and more to
disk stalk lands either in the fall or
spring before blowing, cutting up the
stalks and working them into the
soil to save the organic matter to the
land. The time is coming when the
buring Of corn stalks will have en-
tirely passed, except possibly on some
Of the best overflow bottoms
