tain small town Mr. Hitchcock de-
clared, a nice-looking young man with

Risks Lite for Cat.

To save a cat which, in a fight, had
climbed to the top of 100-foot lad
der, a foreman painter named Robin
son risked his life the other day, in
Oxford street, London. The cat
clung to the topmost rung Of the lad
der from seven o'clock in the morn
ing till nearly midday. A crowd en-
deavored in vain to coax it to make
the descent. Then Robinson climbed
the ladder. 1t overtopped the build
ing against which it was standing by
80 feet. and when Robinson reached
this point the ladder swayed ominous,
ly. He was able to clutch the animal
and bring it safely down, amid the
applause of the onlookers.

HEAD A MASS OF PIMPLES

Hyattsville. Md.-"My little boy was
taken with an itching on the scalp.
There was an ashy place on his head
about the size of a ten-cent piece. and
the hair was falling from this place
by the roots. In about ten days all
over his head were these ashy spots
which looked like ringworm. but were
porous-like. The itching and burning
made him scratch a great deal His
head had gotten so that it was just
mass of mattery little pimples all
heaped on each other, and when took
off his night-cap, the hair ana flesh
came off at the same time. / really
thought he would lose his whole scalp.
He couldn't sleep for five weeks, it
would itch and burn until l thought
he would go into commissions.
Il used different soaps and salves
to no satisfaction. Then I decided to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
Finally l noticed he began to sleep all
night. I used one cake of Cuticura
Soap and one box of CUticura Oint-
ment and he was entirely cured. He
has a better growth Of hair now than
he had at first (Signed) Mrs. Ida

Six-Mile Denth-

A surveying ship of the German
navy has recently discovered the
deepest known spot in the ocean. 1t
is near the Philippines, about 40 sea
miles off the north coast of Mindanao.
Great depths were found to be
numerous in this region, but the rec
ord sounding showed the amazing re-
suit of $3.50 meters, or 406 feet more
than six miles.
The greatest ocean depth hitherto
known was found by the United
States cable steamer Nero in 1901.
This spot was TO the south of the
Island of Guam, and the deep sea land
indicated $685. meters-just little

Floating factories have become an

Of the forest resources of India. In

course impracticable Therefore

about a month and maintained a green

GOOD HINTS FOR

Hogs are not fitted by nature to
subsist entirely on waste products.
They do their best on clean, we'll
balanced ration. There are, however,
some kinds of waste products, such
as apple and potato peelings, table
scraps, etc, that can be utilized to
good advantage.
In the corn belt corn stands at the
head of hog rations, being the cheap
est and best feed available, writes c.
E. Wallace in the Farm and Home.
Feeds rich in protein should be fed
with it, for corn contains an excess OF
carbohydrate. Skim milk. grass and
especially the clovers, are excellent
sources of protein The young grow
ing pig needs proportionally more
nitrogenous food than mature hogs.
When hogs reach the fattening stage
corn can be fed almost exclusively.
Clean waste scraps Of fruit and vege-
tables may be fed with the foregoing
feeds, but it should be borne in mind
that the digestive apparatus of no ami
NAL is fitted to simulate soap suds and
other chemicals of like nature, which
are often thought by the poorly in
formed to be excellent hog feed.

NEW METHOD OF
TOMATO CULTURE
Entire Strength Of Plant Cen
tered in Few Fruit Clusters
by Good Pruning
1Rv M n. EnGERroNl

The new method of tomato culture
consists in confning the growth OF
the plants to a single stalk or vine,
these being trained to stakes.
Pruning should begin as soon as
branches begin to appear, growth be
ing confined to the main stalk.
In this way, instead OF dssipating a
large share of its strength in an eff
fort toward vine growth the entire
strength of the plant is centered in a
few fruit clusters.
Under ordinary culture, that is.
where plants are allowed to branch
at will, the first cluster of blossoms

enhanced value of the individual
specimens of fruit
With this method of culture it is
especially desirable that the plants be
started early and transplanted two
or three times before moving to the
field. By moving a square or ball of
undisturbed earth with each plant
growth is scarcely checked.
We make it a practice to remove
large share of the leaves when trans.
planting in the beds and when moving
to the field. This tends to preserve
balance between root and branch
largely preventing willing of stalks
aud minimizing check in growth.
Plants moved to the field in this
manner are but little checked in
growth if the ground has been well
fitted and soil moist.
We have moved strong and stocky
plants that were two feet high with no
resultant whiting of either leaves or
stalks.
Such plants should be staked imme-
diately. the plant being tied to the
support below the first cluster of
buds. Tie again, later on, below the
second and third clusters. In tying
allowance must be made for the
growth of the stalk. Three full clus-
ters of fruit are enough for one plant
Branches must be removed as soon
as they appear
With this method plants may be
set as close as is inches in the row.
Rows should be four feet apart to al
low plenty of room for horse cultiva,
ton.
Cultivation should be frequent, but
shallow, as the roots of tomato plants
seek the surface where the soil warns
up under the influence of the suns
rays. Mere stirring of the surface as
with garden rake creates ideal soil
conditions among tomato plants.
For fancy market purposes or for
the home garden this method of cu..
ture cannot be too highly recon-
mended

AN INSANE FREAK

Geo. w. Yandell, who has resided in
the north part of the county for a
number of years, and who is now liv-
ing in the Anglin neighborhood, is
again before the public in an unen-
viable light. Yandell, so it is alleged
returned to his home Monday of last
week after a visit to this place, during
which he bowled up freely, and began
terrorizing his family consisting of a
wife and daughter, threatening to
shoot the former. By the interces-
sion of the daughter Yandell was for
time quieted down, and mother and
daughter taking advantage of an op-
pOrtunity escaped and went to a
neighbor's house. After the depart
ure of his family the insane man set
fire to the buildings on the premises,
all of which were destroyed. Officers
at Conconully were notified and has
tened to the scene only to find that
Yadell had disappeared Whether
he committed suicide or left the
country is not known up to the pres
ent time. Yandell figured in a shoot
ing at Brewster a number of years
ago, when he killed a man. 1t was
shown in the examination that Yandell
was sorely tried by the victim and
hence he escaped severe punishment.
