Hand Painted Crab Surrenders in Jamaica Bay

caused small sensation, and all the
fishermen on the pier put down their
rods to have look at the monster.
This crab was not only larger than
any other ever taken at this point,
but In other ways 1t is said to be the
most marvellous, for on the back of its
shell 1t had mans face, done In
water colors. The face had been
painted by an artist Of no mean abil-
ity and it depicted a man who had
looked long upon the cup that cheers.
The eyes were half closed ano the
nose was very red. The entire shell
was taken up with the features Of a
Broadway "rounder"
Mr., Leahy, who is member Of one
of the fishing clubs of the beach and
is fond of his little joke, is accused of
having had the crab decorated in ad-
vance and to have hooked 1t on his
line when nc one was looking, but this
he stoutly denies.
Old fishermen say the crab is at
least one hundred years old, but the
best experts pronounce the painting
to be of recent origin. Whatever the
antecedents Of the crab may be or its
previous condition of servitude, there
are at least half hundred witnesses
to declare that it was pulled from the
bay by Mr.. Leahy.

MANNER OF PRESERVING EGGS
Solution of Salt, Alr-Slaked Lime and

By MRS. ]. c. BARCLAY

10y MINIS, d. y. >
One cup of coarse salt, one cup OF
air slaked lime, five quarts of water
Mix thoroughly and let stand "a
hours, pouring off the liquid into a
clean jar. Into this drop fresh eggs,
which in country communities at Ger.
tain seasons of the year can be bought
in any quantity as low as 1914 to Is
cents dozen.
These are not packed eggs nor cold
storage eggs. They can be used at
once, and will be good for months If
kept covered by the liquid. have
used eggs that had been SO preserved
over a year; They are good for any
purpose-to fry, poach, in baking or
custards, though violent boiling in the
shell sometimes causes the shell to
crack. When cooked with gentle heat
at back Of stove the shell does not
crack.
When eggs on che market are soar,
ing in price good return can be real

SpriuhtIy Bold Thief Dares Her to Chase Him

OVERHEAD, L. 1.-The meanest
IN thief in the world is at large some
where on Long Island.
One day recently he looked into the
fyuit store of Samuel Gordon, on Main
street in Patchogue. Nothing much
is ever doing in Patchogue and this
was a particularly dull day. Nobody
was visible in the store. But subse-
quent developments indicate that this
pesky marauder made a careful recon-
noissance nevertheless.
He entered in bold and sprightly
manner and, without hesitation or
haste, opened the cash drawer and
jauntily inspected it's contents. He
did not seem in the least surprised
when head appeared above the top
Of big screen in the rear of the store
and a startled feminine voice gasped:
@Well, Of all things!" In fact. he
merely looked UP and grinned and
calmly proceeded to transfer all the
cash in the drawer to his pockets.
But presently the same feminine
voice, proceeding from the aforesaid
visage above the screen, shrieked:
Help! Police!" Even this did not
seem to disturb him. And when it
was followed by Stop, thief" as he
reached the door, he merely turned

DISEASE OF CABBAGE
infected Plants Show Tendency
to Witt on Sunny Days.
Club Root Is Spread From Field to
Field by Being Carried on cuItiva-
tors and Feet Of Horseshoe
tation Is Suggested.
tRy H. 5. REED. YlrgInla.l

By H. S. REED. Virginia)
When field is badly infected with
disease it may appear at the Seeding
stage, as dwarf1ng of the young
plants, but the fields are not usually
badly enough infected the first season
to manifest the disease until the cab
bage Is half grown. In districts where
the disease has just begun to get a
foothold, the grower is not likely to
notice any trouble, therefore, until
after the first of July. At about that
time 1t will be noticed that the plants
which are being infected show a ten
dency to wilt on bright sunny days,
although at night they may recover
and - not wilt on the following day
unless 1t is again bright and warm.
Such plants may succeed in making
enough growth to produce salable
cabbage, although it is somewhat I'M
dersized and slightly loose. The earlier
the plant is infected with the disease,
the smaller is the head produced.
The agent responsible for the club
root disease is an organism belonging
to the lowest orders of plant life,
which lives as parasite upon the
roots Of cabbage and related plants,
like caullfower, rutabagas, fiat turnips,
mustard, etc. AS the plant and its par
asite reaches maturity the latter ceas.
es active growth and begins the for
nation of spores which are capable of
retaining their vitality through the
winter and propagating the disease
The decay Of the cabbage root accom-
plished by bacteria and other forms
of life, sets free these spores in the
soil, and there they remain until the
following spring, when conditions are
again favorable for growth, these
spores terminate, giving rise to an
active organism which is capable of
again injecting a plant. In this way

PLAN TO SAVE THE HAY CROP
Farmers Cannot Afford to Allow vaiu-
able Alfalfa and Glover to Be
Ruined by Showers.

Many farmers wifi be aggravated
by frequent showers during alfalfa and
clover haying What are you going to
do about It? Are you going to let hay
worth to you as feed from So to $15
per ton be spoiled by rain?
One cannot always wait for the
weather to get settled. In many local..
ties it does not settle till after haying
is over. Overripe hay is very little
good. 1t must be cut in season, re
CARELESS Of the weather. We suggest
that you get hundred hay caps for
the field and some stack covers II you
stack outdoors. The caps will not cost
very much and If cared for will last
many years. Then you can cover the
hay cocks and let them cure longer
than you would dare If they were left
exposed to rain.
We've got to look more carefully to
saving what we grow, as well as grow
ing larger crops, and this is a step In
that direction.

nj BW YORK.-That there are stran.
~ ger fish in the sea than ever have
been caught Is proverb that will
have to move along to keep up with
q creature taken out Of Jamaica bay
by John Leahy of the Bronx the other
day. Mr.. Leahy has the reputation of
being one of the best amateur clam
diggers that ever piled his trade along
Rockaway beach, but he added to his
reputation when he caught the larg-
est horseshoe crab the oldest inhabi-
tant of the beach has ever seen.
The crab, in addition to being more
than foot wide across the narrow
est part of its back and fully eighteen
inches long, not counting its tail, was
taken from the end of the pier at Hol-
land station. The fact that horseshoe
crabs seldom take hook and the add
ed fact that this one was whale com
pared to others taken In the bay

the cause of the disease perpetuates
itself in the soil and each year Injuries
the cabbage which is planted there.
The disease is spread from field to
field by being carried on cultivators
AVID the feet of horses, soil erosion,
and by throwing diseased cabbages to
stock on pasture. Guard carefully
against introducing any material into
a field which may carry the germs Of
the club root from diseased fields, and
especially against diseased soil and
diseased cabbage plants.
Practice crop rotations which will
allow at least three years between
crops Of cabbage, rutabagas or tur-
nips. Apply stable manure to the crop
which precedes cabbage, but not to
the cabbage crop. If acid phosphate
is used the same rule would hold.
Lime will more successfully counterfeit
the club root disease than other sub
stances. Apply it at the rate of 100
bushels or more per acre, one or two
years previous to planting the cab
bage.

n HICAGO.-Hobos of Chicago spent
~ their bed money" the other night
in hobo entertainment. For their
dimes they received shudders and
tears and inconsistencies.
The show was the "Hobos' Rag
time Benefit" at Bowen hall Hull
House. The actors were Dos; the au-
dience was comprised Of Dos, and
there were reporters who had gone ex-
pecting to find comedy, only to see
tragedy in its most pitiable form.
Tattered clothes, unshaven faces,
hands that needed soap and water
the regulation marks Of the Weary
Willie"-were plentiful. Funny stories,
hilarious songs and jigs had been list
ed on the one pencil-written program.

him fame throughout hoboland, was
greeted with shouts as he walked onto

post that it was nailed to. Almost any
tough wood limb will answer, but that
Of the Eastwood, poplar, chestnut or
any variety that splits easily, should
be avoided
In selecting the limbs, see that the
prong does not set up at too great a
degree, nor should 1t stand too
straight out from the main limb. In
the first instance, there is not the
room sufficient and the weight of a set
of harness will be likely to split off the
hook, on the other hand where the
hook stands out too straight it will
eventually give down, especially where
the weight comes on it near the outer
end.

TROUBLES OF YOUNG CHICKS
Than Freshly Burned Charcoal
Fed In Any Quantity.

Very often bowel troubles develop
among young chicks, from no appar-
ent cause, and Of such serious nature
as to threaten the success of the early
hatch. While this trouble develops
both with hens and breeders, 1t is
more prevalent in the latter. Once
this bowel trouble develops 1t spreads
very rapidly.
Doctoring chickens of any age is a
hard proposition. With young chicks
1t is practically impossible to do
anything for them with any of the rec
ognized remedies used by poultry
men. For bowel trouble in little chicks
there is nothing better than freshly
burned charcoal. 1t Is pulverized
daily, rolled into dust and mixed
with the rations given the chicks. 1t
is corrective rather than medicine.
Its value Is well known in treating
stomach and digestive disorders in the
human body. Its effect Is even more
pronounced when used on chickens.
Charcoal is an absorbent, having
the power to take up the foul gases
in the digestive tract. Tho fresher it
is the more valuable. 1t can be fed
any quantity, as the birds will not eat
too much of it. The only trouble
about leaving 1t in the open is that
after being exposed to the air very
long it loses its effectiveness to a
great extent. When fed to very small
chicks the quantity had best at first
be limited until the effect is seen and
then the amount can be regulated by
the condition Of tie patients.
Another good thing for little chicks
is to put some tincture of iron in the
drinking water. This acts more as a
general tonic than anything. Another
drug that has about the same effect is
potassium permanganate. Put enough
in the drinking water to color it violet.

cLoUDED BRAIN
Clears UP on Change to Proper Food.

The brain cannot work with clear
ness and accuracy, if the food taken Is
not fully digested, but is retained in
the stomach to Torment and form
poisonous gases, etc. A dull, clouded
brain is likely to be the result.
A Mich. lady relates her experience
in changing her food habits, and re-
suits are very interesting:
"A steady diet of rich, greasy foods
such as sausage, buckwheat cakes and
30 on, finally broke down a stomach
and nerves that, by inheritance, were
sound and strong, and medicine did
no apparent good in the way of relief.
my brain was clouded and dull and
l was suffering from case OF consti-
patton that defied all remedies used.
THE Road to Wellville,' in some
providential way, fell into my hands,
and may Heavens richest blessings

write it.
