EAGLE IS NOT A KIDNAPER
Infant Found, Protected by Dog, and
Bird Is Acquitted Of Steal
ing Baby.

Belyidere, N. Eagles making
their homes in the cliffs of Jenny
Jump mountain have been exonerated
of blame for the theft of tw~oyear-old
Michael Dunai, who was missing for
"a hours. The child was found in the
woods half a mile from his home. He
was unconscious, and his hands and
feet were partly frozen.
Young Michael's parents were work
ing in the field and left him on the
porch of their farmhouse. When they
got home at noon the child and the
family Newfoundland dog were gone.
Searchers hunted all night, some of
them ever visiting the eyries of
eagles on the mountain, s~uspecting
that n Of the birds might have
stolen the baby.
A party from Danville came on the
child. The Newfoundland dog was
standing by and would let no one APP
proach. Mr. and Mrs. Dunal had to be
called before the dog would give up its
threatening defense Of the baby. 1t Is
believed the child will recover.

THINNING OUT VEGETABLES
Serious Error Made by Many Farmers
In Leaving Giants Too Thick
PLAN for Beets.

There Is a tendency for some gar
deners to leave the plants of carrots,
onions, and similar vegetables too
thick, or to defer the thinning too long,
with the intention of making use of
the Trimmings. Usually this is a seri-
Gus error, except in the case of beets,
which can be used quite young for
green's. The crowded seedlings do
not reach edible size as soon as they
would If not crowded; and the re-
moval Of part of the crowded plants
when they are wanted for the table
is likely to seriously disturb and i'm
pair the growth Of those which re-
main. A better plan is to make at
least a preliminary thinning as early
as possible, leaving the plants perhaps
twice as thick as they are eventually
to stand; and then to pull out every
other plant after they reach edible
size. This method of thinning is es-
pecially adapted to beets, carrots, let
tuce and onions. The other root crops,
like parsnips and satisfy, should be
thinned to the full distance at the
first thinning.

GREEN MANURE is VALUABLE
Farmer Must Use Judgment in Select.
ing the Most Economical Crop
for This Purpose.

CBy HENRY FULMER, Idaho Expert
ment Station.)
h benefit derived from incorporat-
ing green crops in soil as manure was
noticed by the Romans.
The value of green manure is two
fold. Green clover, when turned in the
soil, adds nitrogen directly to the land.
Later, when the clover is being decom-
posed, the carbohydrates which the de-
caying plant contains serves as a
source OF energy for the class of soil
bacteria that are able to gather free
nitrogen, independent Of a host plant,
from the air into their cells in a form
that will be later used by growing
plants. Owing to the ease and quick
ness in which these green crops may
be decomposed, the stimulation of the
Independent free nitrogen fixing bac-
terra is brought about much sooner
than will dry material that is coarse
and difficult to decompose.
If during a dry spell, the green ma
nure is added in very great quantities,
SAStoSiNC cNdpol dlio may iSSuii. Ia
periments have shown that the acid
produced in the soil from this kind OF
manuring is not great enough to pre-
vent nitritication.
The farmer must use judgment in Sc
lecting the most economical crop for
this purpose in his particular section.
The n giving a luxuriant growth of
leaves and costing but little to grow is
desirable. A nonleguminous plant is as
valuable in stimulating the free nitro
gen fixing organisms, pound for pound,
as the plants of the le%guminous family.
The fact that a plant is not from the
legume family does not keep 1t from
being of value as manure This form
of manuring bids fair to receive a
great deal more of attention in the
near future.

Oil DESTROYS Insects.

Insects generally breathe through
special pores in various parts Of their
body, and If these pores are closed
by oil they are s~uffocated. Anyone
may test this by dropping sweet oil
on the back of a wasp; it very soon
dies. For this reason oil has been
found one Of the best things to use for
the destruction of insects. Flies, NOS

be driven from a house by the liberal

SEED TEST APPARATUS
TERMINATION OF GRASS AND
OTHER SMALL SEEDS.
Excellent Results May Be Obtained
by Use Of Plain, Ordinary Jelly
Tumbler-Water Is Secured by
Using Candle Wick.
CBy II. GARMAN.)

-
For terminating bluegrass and nu-
merous other ANAL seeds, excellent
results may bs obtained by an ordi-
nary plain glass jelly tumbler, on the
top of which is placed a ~candle-drip
glass. This in turn is covered with a
disk of blue blotting paper bearing
the seeds, and this again covered with
a plain three-inch watch glass. Water
in the tumbler is brought up to the
blotting paper, on which the seeds are
placed, by a piece of candle wick, the
two extremities of which are passed
through the round opening in the
bottom of the candle glass and spread
out on its upper surface beneath the
blotting paper. By filling the tumbler
two-thirds full Of water when starting
the test, no further attention is re-
Quired, beyond counting and removing
the terminating seeds, until the end
Of the test. Twenty-eight Of these
tumblers with their compliments OF
seeds may be placed side by side in a
wooden tray and placed in a warm
place.
The advantages of this method of
handling the seeds are the following;
% The whole tray may be carried
about conveniently without stopping
the water over its edges, as is likely
to be the case when water for all the
tests is contained in a metal tray.
ca Each test is completely i%ndepend-

desk at any time for inspection, with
