Criminals Finoer Prints,

DR. Heintl recommends a very good
method for taking the finger prints OF
criminals, this not relating to finger
print records in an anthropometric bu-
reau, but where the record is to be
taken on the spot where crime oc-
surred such as on a wall or any OBJ
ject which cannot be moved and where
the print is impossible to photograph
ON account of lighting or other reason.
He makes use of a very fine color
powder so as to dust it over the prints
which are of a more or less greasy
nature, and Ill this way the powder adj
heres to the finger print and takes all
its gradations. Then a specially pre-
pared paper is pressed upon the print
and the powder adheras to it so as
to give a good copy Of the original.
Such paper is prepared with a mixture
Of beeswax and paraffin, adding few
drops of gyfcerine.

After all rotten apples, pruned
limbs, and other refuse have been
cleared up about the orchardt the trees
should be given thorough spray
ing
If possible one should choose warm
day for this operation, SO most Of the
insect pests crawling out to lie in the
sunlight will be exposed to the action
of the spraying solution.
Special attention should be given
old knots and rough and rotten spots
about the trees, as in these places the
fruit pests deposit their eggs for next
seasons crop and at the same time
many of these pests themselves are
harboring safe retreat till winter is
over
There are several reasons for this
fall spraying. 1t not only destroys the
insect pests, but their eggs, also,

After the spraying, the trees will
be left healthy and clean and free
from pests, while they are developing
their next seasons fruit crop Another
light spraying next spring will not
come amiss, but this fall spraying will
insure the work being done, not neg
lected next spring, when the rush sea-
son is on and the field turns the farm

There are many good reasons for
the fall planting of orchards. October
is the best month for taking up this
question. The weather is favorable
now, but it is not likely to remain SO
for more than four or five weeks.
Those who wish to have an orchard
or enlarge the one they now have,
should get busy
An orchard pays five times as much
as grain per acre, and fall planting
Is becoming more popular each sea-
son, and as experience shows it's adj
vantages the practice is becoming
general
AS soon as a tree or shrub becomes
dormant it can be moved from one
place to another.
When set out in the fall, the bruised
roots begin Immediately to heal, and
callous is formed; the trees recover
quickly from the moving, soon become
firmly established, and with the first
touch of spring are ready to go into
business for themselves in vigorous
way.
Again the ground is generally in
better condition for planting in the
fall than in the spring, when much
spring planting is done with the
ground too wet for results.

SOMETHING OF A REFLECTION
Teacher Had Right to Be Some
what Annoyed at the Small
Girls Remark.

The teacher in one of the public
schools encourages her pupils to offer
suggestions when one of them is at
the blackboard and needs help. She
believes that this is better than ap-
pealing to the teacher.
The class was studying the division
of decimalS. The teacher had taught
her pupils that when they had a sum
in division it is sometimes necessary
to add ciphers on the right Of the
decimal point to carry the process out
far enough. The little girl at the
board wished to divide 20 by 5.5 and
she did not know how to proceed.
The teacher says to put some
nothings after the twenty" spoke up
one of the class.
Where does the teacher get the
nothings?" asked the girl who was
doing the dividing.
Out of her head spoke up the
informant, with no thought of the
hidden meaning in the words.

MEANS OF SECURING
A STEADY INCOME
Poultry Keeping and Mixed Farm.
ing Afford Promising Means
of Comfortable Livinu.

To the man of small capital poultry
keeping and mixed farming afford the
most promising means of making a
comfortable livelihood. Poultry may
with advantage be kept by those en-
gaging in fruit growing aid prove a
valuable adjunct to the orchard by
keeping down pests and fertilizing
the ground; also proving a material
source of income while the trees are
coming into bearing. To engage ex-
clusively in fruit growing one is
obliged TO provide for the period from
the setting out of the trees till they
come into bearing, thus requiring an
income from other sources, while in
mixed farming returns may be counted
on from the start.
A few acres planted in small fruits,
early vegetables, potatoes, carrots,
onions, cabbages, ETC., with fowls,
some COWS and pigs, will give a man
an assured income the first season,
and will not interfere with his plant
ing variety of fruit trees, which VIII
become profitable later.

AMOUNT OF SEED :.
CORN TO SELECT
Good Rule to Follow Is to Gather
as Many Ears as Are
Needed for Planting.
CBy A. c. Army, Assistant Agriculturist

(By A. c. Army, Assistant AgriGulturist,
University Farm, st. Paul, Mimi
When you get into your own corn
field you may see SO many good
plants bearing good ears that you will
jusf feel like keeping a-going. Hope
you do, and while you are selecting
good seed corn for yourself, select
some for your neighbors. They need
it to help boost the average yield of
corn in this state to over forty bush
els per acre.
How many rows has an average ear
of corn of the variety which you
raise? How many kernels per row
after tip and butt kernels have been
shelIed off? Many hills will one ear
plant, using three kernels per hill?
One acre of corn checked three feet
three inches contains 3,240 hills. If
your ear has 600 good kernels it will
plant 200 hills, three kernels per hill.
At that rate it would require about
seventeen ears per acre.
Remember, however, that in select
ing the corn in the field you go over
it rather hurriedly. When winter
comes and you look the ears over
carefully, you will find many that will
not suit you. Of those that do suit,
a number may not grow strong, I'M
less the corn is properly dried and
stored.
A good rule is to select twice as
many ears from good plants IN the
field as are needed to plant the re-
CURED number of acres next year.
This allows a very close selection to
be made during the winter.

GOOD METHOD FOR
KEEPING POTATOES
Ventilation Helps Carry Off Mois-
ture, Thus Keeping Tubers
Dry During Winter.

The place for storing potatoes
should have plenty of ventilation.
Bins ought not to be over eight feet
square and should have Stat walls with
hollow partitions, or there should be
plenty of ventilating tubes with slat
sides reaching from top to bottom of
the bin. Where bins are as large as
eight-feet square ventilating tube in
the middle of each one would be de-
sirable. Ventilation helps to carry off
moisture, thus keeping the potatoes
dry and making it possible to cool
them of quickly in the fall and keep
them cool during the winter.

THERE ARE TIL RE E
GOOD REASONS why
you should have your car
overhauled now and worn
parts replaced.
FIRST: The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
car better now than later.
No matter whether you are
going to keep the car, or
sell or trade it in on a new
one-it will pay you well
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re-
painted.
SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes of cars within 48
hours from receipt of or
der. Have concentrated
this branch of the business
at Newcastle, Ind. Center
of population of the U. S.
Here we have a $1,750,000
investment in plant and
stock. $4,000 separate bins
of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-we must increase
prices 200 January 1st,
when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE THIS-Never
before in the history of this
industry has a new con-
Germ, having bought the
plants and assets of a bank
rupt one, taken upon itself
the obligation of furnishing
replacement parts for the
cars it never made.

Insanity.

Insanity.
What is insanity?" was the subject
of q paper read before the British
Royal Society of Medicine by DR..
Charles A MERCER. Dr.. MERCER de-
plores the loose application of the ter
rible word to cases that do not merit
it. Thus giddiness, epileptic symp-
toms. fear of closed spaces, as well
as extended spaces, have nothing
to do with insanity, since insan-
ity and unsoundness of mind are not
convertible terms. No one should
dare call man insane until his con-
duct has been found disordered. That,
of course, does not mean "disorderly
conduct" in the police court meaning.
Disorder of mind and of conduct,
coupled, usually, by a third disorder
of brain function, would be true insan-
ity If to these a fourth element be
added, such as poisoning, myxoedema,
govt; specific fever, Graves's disease
then a new diagnosis is needed to as
certain whether the insanity" is not
really a delirium of the more COM
prehensive disease.
