BETTER HOMES FOR THE POOR
Corporation Capitalized at $5oo,ooo Launched in Los Angeles to Erect
 Homes for Workers,

Los Angeles, Cal.-Based upon the theory of business philanthropy" a corporation capitalized at $500. 900. and managed by leading bankers and charity workers, has been launched here to build concrete houses for the poor and remove the shacks and courts that now thickly dot the slums.
 According to the plan adopted by the corporation, land available in the so-called slum districts of the city will be used, and the shacks which now harbor numerous poor families will be replaced by sunny, four-room houses of concrete constructed accord ing to plans suggested by Thomas A. Edison. The houses will have all mod ern conveniences, including baths, the promoters of the plan being convinced that the tubs will be used for bathing instead of containing coal or potatoes. or cradling the babies while the moth CTS go out to work.
 These houses will be rented or sold on terms to suit the means of the fam lilies that will occupy them.
 The corporation is managed by thir- ty-three trustees, among whom are Rev. Dana w. Bartlett, head of Beth lehem institute, and officers of wom- ems clubs which have been promoting the movement for number of years.

Memories of iI-Starred Marriage of Anna Gould and Comte De Castel-
 lane Revived by Libel Suit.

Naples.-Memories of the ill-starred marriage of Anna Gould, now the duchess de Talleyrand, and Compte Boni de Castellane were sensationally revived here recently by libel action brought by a Count Aguisollo against the Abbe Tedeschi, at one time the confidential adviser of the deposed queen of Naples, a Bavarian princess, who now lives in Paris.
 The quarrel between the count and the cleric hinges on their association some years ago in an attempt to es- tablish powerful newspaper which the abbe had persuaded the ex-queen of Naples to start in the Bourbon in terest. It was proposed to make Ma pies the headquarters of this Bourbon organ, which was to have been backed by lavish outlay of money, part of which was to have been supplied by the ex-queen and the balance by Comte Boni de Castellane, who at that time was mainly occupied in spending the wealth which his marriage with Anna Could had put at his disposition.
 hN EpDO 1OoOoSui, thO ihoNiASo spirit of the scheme, obtained Boni de Castellane's promise that he would finance the establishment of the news paper jointly with the ezsqueen, and then he made arrangements for Count Aguisollo to take charge of the whole proposition. The count took the mat ter in hand and set to work with en- ergy! He spent large sums of money on the preliminaries, rented a magnifi- cent building in which to house the paper, engaged the staff, organized the correspondents and installed the print ing plant In fact, he brought matters to the point where nothing remained but to set the machinery to work and bring out the first issue of the paper.
 It was at this stage that it became necessary to call on Boni de Castel- lane for the first installment of the money he had promised to put up. and Boni being then in Paris the Abbe Tedeschi set out to interview him there. Unfortunately for everyone concerned, and especially for Boni de Castellane, Anna Gould had grown tired of her husbands eccentricities and was just then preparing her suit for divorce, at the same time drawing

RYE GOOD AS A DAIRY FEED
Alabama Experiment Station Makes Tests With Crop-Increase In
 Milk Flow Noted.

We know of a dairy farm in Arkan- sas where from ten to fifteen acres of rye are sown each winter, and used as a pasturage for about twenty-five head of COWS, says writer in an eX- change. From it they get more than half of their winter food. About ten years ago the Alabama experiment station made some experiments as to the amount of forage furnished by rye during the winter. The crop was sown in drills two feet apart. The first cutting was made on October 30, and the fourth on February 27.
 The combined yield of these four cuttings, representing growth of five months, was little over ten tons of most excellent forage.
 A couple of years later two tests of the comparative food value of rye and corn ensilage were made. Two lots of dairy COWS were selected. One lot re- ceived, in addition to their regular corn ration, about forty pounds of green rye per day, while the other lot received but twenty-five pounds of the corn silage. In both cases a de- cided increase of the milk flow in favor of the rye was noted.

It is a mixture of scraps of cold food from the restaurants, and you get quite lot for a half penny, for bones are salable commodities, and the "arle- quin" men have a better use for the fat than to sell it for food.

He had tried to kill him when he wanted to go halves in the penny. He thought they might take Robert in and let him be lodger for the night.

SEWER F|PE HOTEL
Starving Youth Led Home" by
 Another Waif in Paris.
Boy Shares in Outcast's Fare-Strang- CT Able to Rescue Guide But Other Inmates Perish
 When Stove Upsets.

Paris.-Robert Epiphane was look ing down at the river wondering. He was seventeen years old, and whenever the police arrested him his trade was entered on the books as
 mattresS-maker." Some years ago Robert had worked at mattress mak- ing. That is to say, he had a vague recollection of combing wool for an old woman who made over mattresses outside house doors and who gave Robert something to eat when he re- fused to do any more work on an empty stomach.
 But that was long time ago. Rob- ert Epiphane was not quite sure how long ago it was, because he had been hungry for a long time. He had slept on bench on the boulevards the night before.
 Then the miracle happened. Rob- ert Epiphane was looking at the wa ter and wondering. And as he looked at the water a little boat drifted by an absurd little boat made of an old cigar box, bit of lead pencil and string. Robert Epiphane looked at 1t lazily. Then he shouted aloud
 He had seen penny piece-two whole sous!-in the cigar box. Rob ert Epiphane never knew how he got down to the water.
 Halves" said voice, In a whis- gave a whimper that was meant to be a howl of rage. Then, slipping the penny into his mouth Git was weak, but 1t was safer than in his pocket), he struck blindly at another raga- muffin, who caught him as he fell.
 The other ragamuffin was standing over him as he sat on the muddy ground. Well, old man." he whis- pered, in the hoarse, voiceless whis- per in which he had said "Halves"- the voice which starva ion and ex- posture gives to Paris wastrels Well old man, and what about it?" Its mine," said Robert Epiphane: q can get bit of sausage and bread for it. Come with me- said the other
 They had not far to go On the way the second scarecrow, whose name he told Robert was Maurice Faction, was spinning fairy tale which amused Robert but which he did not believe It was all about a forgotten sewer pipe-a beautiful big piece of piping furnished with sack ing and stove-a big pipe in a quiet corner where no police ever came, where Maurice Faction and three other men, Jules, George and Henri, had been living for week
 Robert Epiphane did not believe the story, but it amused his muddled brain, and as long as that penny was safe in his hand he did not care Then they came to the palace, and to his amazement he saw what Maurice Fac tion had told him was true.
 Robert nearly pitched head first on the stove when his eyes had accus- toned themselves to the dim light in the palace, for near it. on a news

 Still, by insisting upon getting best plants you can buy, big sturd. fellows with lots of leaves and roots full of water, you can do very well with purchased tomato plants. Do not secure them until you are all ready to plant and get them in the ground as soon as possible.
 As usually handled, the amateur gardener gets double crop of foliage and half crop of ripe tomatoes The fruit splits, rots at the ends and large part of it fails to color up and ripen before frost catches it.
 The purpose of this article is to tell how to avoid these troubles and se- cure twice as much ripe, sound fruit with no more trouble. It is a simple secret but few seem to know it.
 Tomatoes need a rich, deep rather heavy soil, well fertilized. Muriate of potash is an excellent fertilizer, as is also steamed ground bone. Use handful to each pint.
 Spade and cultivate as for garden crop and drive in strong stakes about five feet long, placing them two feet by four feet. Set one plant four inches from the south side of each stake, covering the roots firmly and soaking the soil with water after setting
 Allow only three branches to grow on each plant, and tie them to the stake with strips of cloth When they reach the top of the stake, prune them back. If a smaller quantity of the very finest and largest tomatoes are preferred, allow but one main stem to develop Keep the branch ends clipped as soon as the plant has attained good size, and all of it's en- ergy will then go into making toma- toes.
 Now comes the secret! Where a side branch leaves the main stem is a fork in which the fruit develops In same place little shoots appear. Pinch out these shoots as fast as they grow and you cannot fail to get magnificent tomatoes. Do not plant one of the tree varieties, but select smooth, even, meaty type like Matchless, Stone, and many others of their kind.

 He was dreaming that the smoke was choking him when he woke up. Somebody had kicked the stove over. The other four were sound asleep and stupeffed. The palace was a stifing prison. He fought with the wooden door for what seemed hours. Then at last he broke it open. For more hours, many more, or that was what it seemed, he tugged at the four bodies till he pulled them out. Two policemen found them.

If there is any one thing we need in this country more than another, 1t Is a national system of forestry.

FARM NOTES.
 Keep the nests clean.
 Keep on swatting the flies.
 If possible, grow the pigs on pas- ture.
 It is as easy to teach a colt good manners as faulty ones.
 The quack grass problem is largely matter of poor drainage.
 The separator should never be al- lowed in the barn or near it.
 Never raise colts from vicious mare Like often produces like.
 The horse should be given at least one feed of mixed feed once a day.
 Many stallions are used too much to produce large per cent of colts.
 Water, the necessity of life, is too often denied livestock.
 The horse cannot rest while fight ing flies. Better shade or screen the barn windows.
 It is a mistake to keep young tur- key hens every year, particularly those matched late.
 Do away with binders on the horse. Their use is a cruel practice and cause many eye effects.
 See that your brood sows get plenty of exercise, so that they may produce large healthy filters.
 The hens simply cannot and will not fill the egg basket and feed lice and mites on their bodies.
 Don't expect an old horse that has worked all his lifetime to do as much as he did when he was young.
 Farmers m, realize that it re- quires feed to .SQw sheep, just as it does to grow cattle or hogs.
 Sell your wool on a rising market. Nine times out of ten you will miss it f you try to keep it for something better. ' Demand for good, productive farm property is steadily increasing. Some very high prices are paid for we'll improved farms.
 Sheep are comfort lovers, and the man who neglects to provide them with good, dry shelter makes a costly error.
 The man who is trying to keep hogs without pasture and forage crops is fifty years behind the times.
 Tn training mules for use on the farm it is best to begin using them for light work during the third year.
 A man should be kept in the silo, spreading and packing the corn as fast as it comes from the cutter.
 The beginner who has a nice flock of bullets to winter over will find 1t more profitable to avoid forcing for high-priced winter eggs if such birds are to be used as breeders next spring.
 Sheep will live and thrive on much feed that is of little value for other stock, but that does not imply that they can do without.
 Frequently put little cayenne pep per in tho dry mash. It will serve to keep them in condition. A little sals should also be given.
 The sooner manure is spread in tn se field the smaller the loss of fertilitsf incurred and the smaller the amour of labor required to handle it.
