Irritation For Muck Lands.

The ideal irrigation system for muck
lands is that known as the Skinner
system. In most cases the water is
forced directly into the pipe system,
and any pump that will insure a pres
sure of forty to sixty pounds per
square inch will do the business. 1t
is important. of course. that the open
ings in the discharging pipes are made
true and in such a way that the water
will be distributed evenly and regu-
larly. The little nozzles which are de-
vised for the Skinner system are not
so very expensive, and they seem to be
an essential part of the system. as are
also the turning devices and the drill
for drilling the openings for the in
sertion Of the tiny nozzles. It is by no
means necessary to warm the water to
be used for irrigation. Any ordinary
spring or we'll or pond water is good
enough. providing it is free from clog
ging material.-Farm and Fireside.

CURING HORSES OF BOT FLIES
Treatment Which Will Suffocate the
Troublesome Insects.

troublesome insects.
The United States department of ag-
riculture has thoroughly tested a very
unusual cure for the disease of horses
called bots. Bots are the larvae of the
horse bot fly and live in the stom-
achs of horses. They interfere with
digestive processes to such an extent
as to cause loss of flesh, general poor
condition and often death. DislOdging
them is extremely difficult.
In the treatment tested the horse was
fed a little hay and oats in the morn
ing and allowed to go without food
the rest of the day. In the evening a
purgative was given. Next morning
the horse was given three drains of
carbon bisulphide in a gelatin capsule
three times at intervals of an hour.
When the capsule reached the horses
stomach it dissolved, and the carbon
bisulphide, ii liquid that is extremely
volatile ut the temperature of a horses
body, evaporated rapidly. The gas suf-
located the bots and other parasites
in the horses stomach without injur-
ing the horse in the least. The remedy
was tried with complete success on a
large number of affected animals

she asked him if he had ever thought
of concealing small dutiable articles
in plaster ornaments. Cults said that
he had not, but thought it would be a
good way. Then he began to talk
about plaster casts, harping on the sub
ject till Mrs. Rainsley grew suspicious,
and, her suspicious once being aroused,
she was Don sure that Cults was
Bradner's agent and would inform
the customs officers that they were
smuggling a diamond concealed in a
plaster image.
The night before reaching port they
smashed the image, and Rainsley con-
cluded to carry it in his mouth. AS he
and his wife and children stepped
ashore they were invited into a room,
where all their baggage was taken.
The baggage having been carefully ex-
amined, they were all searched, but
nothing discovered. Rainsley had the
stone we'll tucked away far back on
one side Of his mouth and gave no evil
ing there. He was congratulating him.
self that he had got his fortune safely
through when he was arrested on q
charge made by CUTS that he had
stolen money from him. Cults declar-
ed that he had lost bank bills, the num-
bers Of which he gave. One of the
bills was found in Rainsley's pocket
book. Cults had put it there. Rains
ley was taken to Jail.
Mrs. Rainsley followed her husband
to the Jail and went with him to his
cell. After he was locked in she asked
leave to kiss him goodby. This was
granted, and the lips of husband and
wife were glued together and the dia-
mond passed from the husbands mouth
to the wife's.
The next day Cults secured a private
interview with Rainsley, telling him
that he was sure of conviction and
would be sent to state prison for a
term Of years. Cults admitted that he
was Bradner's agent and for a half in
terest in the diamond would withdraw
the charge against him. Rainsley re-
fused. Later Mrs. Rainsley called to
| see her husband and told him that she
had buried the diamond where no one
but herself could ever find it.
When Cults came again to the Jail
Rainsley told him that Mrs. Rainsley
had put the diamond where no one
! could find it and after he had served
his term in state prison for the
offense he had not committed he
would be rich. The day before the
trial Cults, feeling sure that he could
not get the stone by prosecuting, Offer
ed not to appear against Rainsley If
he would give him $1,000. Rainsley
agreed to do this as soon as he could
sell the diamond and the next day
went forth a free man.
The diamond is now the property Of
an American multimillionaire, and the
! Rainsleys are rich.

THE WALLOWING HOLE.
When Kept Free From Filth II 10 a
Good Adjunct to the Hog Lot.

~SSS SSJS'Se ~ NV ivy ~
Say what you will, pigs are pigs, and
nothing quite takes the place of a wal
lowing hole to a real, flesh and blood
pig, says Rural Farmer. There are
some wallowing holes, we have seen,
that are practically a menace to the
entire farm; a breeder of disease germs
and a favor1te place for the develop
ment of the house and stable fly.
There are other wallows that are en-
tirely safe.
A hog washes himself by putting OH
a good coat of mud and then rubbing
it off. 1t is not according to our idea
Of bathing, but that is another story.
Hogs that have good wallows are
said to put on flesh much more quick
ly than those that have none. One
reason is that the mud and water keep
off the flies, and they will eat in the
middle of a day, whereas, if it is a dry
pasture and the flies are troublesome
they will lie in the shade and not care
to eat except in the morning, when it
is cooler.
A hog wallow should be by the side
of a creek. never in it, and it is always
best if you can have it with running
water.
A few tablespoonfuls Of sheep dip
should be frequently put in a bucket
of water and thrown in the wallow.

well If the joints are laid closely and
then treated to a coat of crcosote to

Good fresh air in the calf stable is
of great Importance with the young
calf to give it a strong, vigorous con-
stitution and strong vitality. The calf
will be the dairy COW within two years.
so If good productive dairy COW are
expected the calf needs to be kept
strong and thrifty from the start.
Sunshine Is very necessary to the
vigor of all young growing animals.
1t is an excellent germicide and for
that reason serves to purify the sur
roundings and to keep the young calf
healthy. 1t is always well to place the
calf pens in a part of the stable where
plenty Of direct sunshine may enter.
The advantages of raising fall calves
are that dairy products are much high
er priced in the winter, the average
farmer has more time to properly care
for the cows, besides the average COW
will maintain her milk flow longer by
coming on to grass in the springtime.
With the calves coming in the fall,
they are ready to be weaned in the
spring and ran he put out to pasture,
where they will continue to grow. On
the other hand. when calves are drop
ped In the spring they are ready to
wean in the fall about the time winter
sets III. SO are liable to go through the
winter without making very much
growth. In the fall is by all means
the best time for dairy calves to come
both from the standpoint of the calf
and profits Of the owner.

SOLITARY LIFE PRISONER.
Jesse Pomeroy. Has at Last Broken
Mentally Under Strain.

VVO's0Uy SVNOS 0Nu0sUb
That Jesse Pomeroy, the solitary life
prisoner at Charlestown prison, has at
last broken mentally under the strain
OF his years Of confinement, became
evident during the recent visit Of Gov
ernor Walsh to the institution, says
the Boston Post.
When the governor, in his inspection,
stopped before the cell in Cherry Hill
and the guard drew aside the iron shut
ter which has cut off Pomeroy from
all communication with even the rest
Of his prison world. a strange thing &C.
Cured.
Pomeroy for the first time that he
had been brought in contact with a
chief executive since his Imprisonment
did not ask for a pardon or protest his
innocence. He instead told the gov
ernor that he had a bank book he
wanted to send his mother, but could
not do so because Of red tape.
Officers at the prison for some time
have known that Jesse has considered
himself immensely wealthy. The gov
ernor asked Pomeroy where the bank
book was, and Pomeroy replied that It
was in the prison Office. He further
said that he had written to the prison
authorities about the bank book sew
eral times, but had received no salts
faction. The governor promised he
would look after the bank book.
For thirty-six years Pomeroy has
been kept in solitary confinement, and
many alienists have given opinions re-
gard!ng what effect it would have upon
his sanity. 1t is now believed that
Pomeroy has weakened mentally under
the strain.

Ground Ginoer Cures Cribbino.

Cribbing is sometimes a habit Of the
horse. but it is often caused by disease.
writes a correspondent Of the Orange
Judd Farmer. l cured a bad case by
giving a treatment recommended by a
German. which was to give the animal
a small amount Of copperas and half an
ounce of ground ginger in his feed daily
for two or three weeks. Cut feed was
used mostly. The case was caused by
indigestion. l suppose. and the irrita-
ton and uneasiness caused the horse to
take hold with his teeth and stretch his
neck as a means of relief. This vice
grew into the habit of wind sucking,
which caused flatulence and collie. The
habit ceased when the cause was re.
moved.

NHE history of the Rainsley
diamond is unique. 1t re.
ceived its name from Joseph

history OF the Ra1nSley
diamond is unique. 1t re.
ceived its name from Joseph
Rainsley. who was its first and
for a long while its only possessor. He
went to South Africa with his wife
and two little children to make his for
tune, leased some land and began to
hunt for diamonds. He picked up
nothing but very small stones for
awhile till one day he found n of
extraordinary size. 1t was as big as
an acorn.
Rainsley was unwise enough to show
the stone to John Bradner, a neighbor.
Indeed, he was not sure it was a dia-
non until Bradner told him 50.
The next day Rainsley was surpris-
ed at a visit Of Bradner with a consta-
diamond, Bradner having put in Il
claim that the stone had been found
on his land and he was the rightful
owner. Mrs. Rainsley, taking in the
situation and knowing that what they
sought was in her own bureau drawer,
took it when the searching party was
at another part of the house and drop
ped it in a chink between two logs Of
which the house was built.
The diamond was not found.
Joe Rainsley and his wife now had
a problem before them. The stone was
a fortune in itself, but unless they
could get it away it would be Of no
use to them.
After considering many ways they
hit upon one which they hoped would
be successful. They determined to
leave their home, taking with them
the scanty supply Of household goods
they possessed. Their living room
was decorated with a rough plaster
head and shoulders of a child. Mrs.
Rainsley, who had some artistic skill,
made a replica of this and while the
plaster was soft embedded the dia-
mond in its center. Then she broke
the original into fragments, which she
buried in the ground.
Though Bradner and his officials
knew of the Rainsleys' departure. they
made no effort to recover the diamond.
The family went to the coast. whence
they sailed for America. They would
have been willing to pay the duty on
the diamond, but feared that Bradner
had cent an agent with them to at
tach it if they did so and to inform
the customs officers that they were
smuggling it into the country if they
didn't.
On the steamer with them was a
young Englishman named Cults, who
| won Mrs. Rainsley's good will by pay
ing especial attention to little Tommy
Rainsley, aged four years. and in this
way became intimate with the family.
| Cults talked a great deal about how
to Outwit customs officers. Mrs. Rains
ley placed such confidence in his meth
DDS and experience in smuggling that
