HIS MAKEUP MADE TROUBLE
Prominent Indianapolis Man Was Cal.
led on to Do Some Strenuous
Explaining to Officer.

The next time G.. Edgar Turner
takes part in a minstrel show he prob
ably will remove his makeup before
he starts home.
Mr.. Turner was one of the end men
in the Third Christian church min
strel show last week. After the per-
Torrance he started to his home in
Park avenue, nearby, Immediately, not
taking time to restore his face to its
once lily whiteness. To make the
quickest time he went up an alley and
there vas where he got into trouble.
A policeman stopped him and wished
an explanation. Mr.. Turner thought
the jokes that had been perpetrated
at the show had taken pretty well
with the audience, so he could not be-
lieve he was being arrested for that.
Being a lawyer and sizing up the
situation, he at once began his argu-
ment for the defense. He explained
that he was not a real negro; that hs
had been to "a minstrel show and was
taking the shortest way home. Then
the policeman explained that a negro
had been murdered by another negro
in that vicinity not many days ago
and that the police had been watching
for the offender.
Just why the police thought the ne
gro who committed the murder would
come back to the scene of his crime
was not explained as far as is known.

SHADE IN THE POULTRY YARDS

When the hot summer days come
it is of utmost Importance that the
| growing chicks On the ranges and the
old fowls in the yards be provided with
an abundance of shade. The direct
rays of the sun are as uncomfortable
and d~isagreeable to fowls as to human
beings, and the effects equally as dan
gerous. According to the poultry pa
biologist at the New Jersey Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, unless the
youngsters on the ranges are able OF
seek out some shady spot during the
heat of the day many will die from
sunstroke, and others will be stunted
and their growth be halted and irregu-
lar. The old fowls will suffer as well,
if they are not provided with some
suitable protection from the direct
rays of the sun during the hottest
parts of the day.
There are many ways in which suit
| able shade can be obtained in the
poultry yards, the kind to be used on
any particular place being determined
by the conditions peculiar to that
place. In orchards the question of
shade is solved at once. Peach trees
make an excellent shade, and other
orchard trees are good. Of course,
any range that has trees of any kind
on it will not have to be provided
| with extra shade. But where the
yards are more or less open it is abb
/ solutely essential to provide some
temporary source of protection from
the sun.
Corn is an excellent crop to grow in
the ranges, and if the chicks are not
- h. oJ11o,oJ Al 49,, &c 4L1 aa~1 g old
a few rows of corn can well be planted
on the range for the single purpose
, of furnishing shade. Sun-flowers are
used successfully for similar eason
The latter are good, as each plant
bears a large flower, which, when it
is ripe, contains a large number of
| seed that are valuable as a part of
| the ration of the laying fouls during
the moulting season. ~Sun-fowers can
be planted at one end of the field
about three feet apart. They produce
a very rank growth and provide lux
uriant shade. Some of the range
crops serve as sources of shade when
properly grown. The soy-bean and
the cow-pea are especially good crops
for this purpose. because of the large
size of their leaves.
If it is impossible to have trees OF
| growing plants for sources of shade,
| shelters should be built of laths and
covered with either old gunny-sacks
i or with branches from trees that are
perhaps adjacent to the poultry yards
| Plan some source of protection from
the hot rays of the sun when putting
the youngsters on the ranges and the
old fowls in the yards for the summer
season. Compensation for the little
extra trouble involved, according to
MI. w. C. Thompson, the New Jersey
Station authority, will be had in the
fact that the fowls will continue to
grow steadily and keep in good, Wig
orous health.

THE ASPARAGUS BED
AFTER CUTTING

When the cutting season closes the
asparagus bed should be thoroughly
disc narrowed in all directions. This
will level down the old ridges and tear
all clumps of grass or weeds to pieces.
Any short stalks that may be harrow
ed out can be picked up, washed, and
sold by the quart in strawberry box
es.
Every ten days or two weeks the
c~ultivator should be run through as
close to the rows as. the growth of
stalks will permit. When the little
weeds get started in the rows betw-
cen the stalks, a furrow may be
thrown against the stalks with a one
horse pillow, from each side. This
may break a few stalks but will thor
oughly clean the row by covering the
weeds. 1t is well to continue to cult
vate the %centers of the rows until the
seed balls are turning red, when the
stalks should be cut and burned on
the field to destroy the millions of as
paragus seed. The field should be disc
narrowed again, the rows being left
a little higher than the middles to pro-
tect the roots from freezing. If there
is any washing, also, this method will
insure its taking place between the
rows rather than where the roots are.

NAVEL ILL IN COLTS.

There is experienced considerable
difficulty among breeders Of draft hor-
ses in combating what is commonly
known as navel or joint-ill. It is par
ticularly prevalent with draft colts,
and as the name implies is evidenced
by an enlargement of the joints, par
ticularly the knee and hook. Accord
ing to the Animal Husbandman al
the New Jersey Experiment Station
it is caused by an infection of the ma
vel of the colt at the time of birth
in instances where the mare foals in
a dirty, filthy stall, and where SAM
tary precautions are not practiced al
foaling time. If the box stall is
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected
and clean straw or litter used as bed
ding, very little danger from j%oint-ill
will be encountered. Providing, how
ever, that the umbilical cord is prop
erly severed, it is well to cleanse the
navel stub thoroughly with a 3%s So
luton of carbolic acid, paint with
iodine, and dust daily with borie acid.
If necessary the umbilical cord should
be tied with a silk or a catgut cord
and thus infection from this source
prevented. The New Jersey Expert
ment Station further states that there
is very little that can be done in
last the animal is once infected; hence
any efforts should be directed at pre-
c~autionary measures.

WARS SHADOW OVER PARIS
French Capital is Feeling the Stress
Much More Than is British
Metropolis.

Paris still contains a goodly proper
ton of its idle American colony, many
of them useless, too-rich boys, others
to be met with caution, and they are
still to be found with the women
whose business it is to part the fool
from his money at certain cosmopoli-
tan resorts.
A kindly soul asked a friend to din
ner at ore of these places. They
dined, wisely if not too well, but most
e-xtravagantly extensively. 1t is pos
sible still, as it always has been, to
eat cheaply and admirably in Paris.
1t is also possible to eat dearly and
badly, particularly in places opened
expressly for the tourist trade.
Three or four Paris theatres are
open in the afternoon, finding i'm
mense difficulty in casting the plays
with every actor under forty-fve at
the front. The rest are closed, as are
all the music halls except Olympia and
a few small places in Montmartre.
The French are astonished when they
are told that business is as usual in
London's places of entertainment, and
when it is explained that in London
only a few families have paid the toll

SUCKER THE SWEET CORN.

Sweet corn should have enough
room for its proper development.
When planted in hills not more than
three stalks should be left to matur-
ity. The best yield is obtained, how
ever, when the corn is planted in
drills and thinned out so that the
stalks stand every II to Is inches
in rows 3h feet apart.
The more room sweet corn has and
the richer the ground, the more suck
ers will develop. These suckers are
the stalk-like growths which come out
from the main stalk at the base of
the roots. When they get large 1t is
hard to distinguish them from the
main stalk itself. In poor GROUND
there may be but few of these suck
ers, but in rich soil there may be
They seldom produce a marketable
ear, regardless of their promising ap-
pearance, and deprive the main stalk
of the nourishing growth it should
have to develop its own ear of corn.
The New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton advises that these suckers be pull
led from the main stalk just before
it come into tassel. This is best done
the first thing in the morning when
the sun is low, the soil is cool, foliage
is damp with dew and the suckers
are crisp and break easily from the
main stalks. During the middle of
the day it is hot and dry in a corn
field, the suckers are witty and tough,
and they do not break off easily. The
suckers may be fed to stock or they
may be laid lengthwise of the row
close to the stalks so as not to in
terfere with cultivation. A light ap-
plication of fertilizer or nitrate of So
da may be sown along the row at
this time with profit.
Level cultivation is the ideal cult
walton for field corn but it is not ex-
actly efficient and practical for sweet
corn. The main stalk is weakened by
pulling the suckers, and to overcome
this weakness a broad fiat ridge
should be thrown UP to the corn. The
fertilizer is most accessible to the
roots if applied after the suckers are
pulled and before the ridge is thrown
up. The set of brace roots develop
in this ridge.

Why Sardines Are Scarce.

Handlers of foreign canned goods,
whose troubles have been legion since
the European war upset normal trade
conditions, are now complaining of
the frequency with which contractors
abroad break their delivery contracts.
This practice, it was said in local job
bing circles yesterday, has obtained
to a wide extent in the matter of sar-
dine shipments. As is customary,
firms here contracted with packers in
Norway and other countries for speci-
fc quantities of the fish. Foreign
governments, however, with agents on
the spot, have been offering the pack
ers much higher prices than the con-
tract rates made with Americans, with
the result that the packers in many
instances are yielding to temptation
and jumping their obligations with
houses here. Scarcity of foreign sar-
dimes in this market, together with adj
vancing prices, are the result.

DAY OF NOISE is PASSING
We Seem to Be on the Eve of a Pop
ular Movement Toward the
"Soft Pedal"

Director Ziegler, in his latest health
bulletin, recommends a soft pedal
week, in which the extant strict in
functions against extraordinary and
futile noises shall be honored in the
observance. A great many persons,
i'll or well, ~fervently pray that the
"soft pedal" on the city's strepitant
racket may be applied, not merely for
a week, but for all time.
We are on the eve of a popular rev.
~olution against noise. Tolerance has
ceased to be a virtue. A little while
ago lone protestants here and there
were looked upon as harmless cranks,
Societies for the propagation of IN
necessary noises f1ourished like the
green bay tree, and the thought of
trespass on a mans repose as an in
dictable offense, like trespass upon
any other property, was secuted as
absurd. The educated and sober sec
ond thought of the public is now di-
rected against the wanton depreda-
tions on nocturnal peace committed
by thoughtless motorists, by peddlers
and vendors, by those who deliver
milk or newspapers or other wares al
an early hour from house to house.
A fortune, in dollars and in human
gratitude alike, awaits the inventor
who shall obliterate the slam-bang of
the trucks of a trolley car at the
street intersection. Those whose per-
sistent sleep would be undisturbed by
any sound short of the angelic trump
on the day of judgment are not in a
position to appreciate the acute suffer
ing the ceaseless assault upon the
tympanum brings to those of shrink
ing nerves and sensitive fiber in and
out of HOSPITALS.

Aeroplanes in Arctic.

A Norwegian steamship company,
whose boats ply to Russian ports on
the Arctic ocean, has conceived a
novel use for the aeroplane, which it
hopes to put into operation next
spring. The route is frequently
blocked by icebergs and ice foes, the
steamers lose much time in searching
for a channel and then usually do not
find the best one. The proposal is to
have an aeroplane on each steamer.
When ice is sighted, the aviator is to
ascend and fly over the ice until he
determines the best channel.-Ameri-
can Boy.
