HORSESHOE NAILED TO TREE
interesting to Speculate Who Had Placed It There Many Years in
 the Past.

One never knows what he may find inside a tree. At a sawmill near Nan- couver the other day they found Q horseshoe to their sorrow, for it was deeply imbedded and stripped of the teeth of the saw that was devouring the log. Some boy had nailed the horseshoe to the tree years and years ago and the wood had slowly inclosed and hidden 1t.
 Where is the boy now? Would he be willing. and able. to pay for the saw that his youthful pastime ruined? What did he nail the horseshoe to the tree for? Was it to make his luck per petual? It is we'll known that horse shoe lying in the road win bring bad luck if you pass 1t by untouched, but if you pick it up and nail it to the barn door or to tree. goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life. or at least until the talisman is displaced
 The chances are that the boy who nailed the horseshoe to that fir tree near Vancouver is a millionaire now. but in our minds eye we see his for tune slipping away since the cause of 1t has been torn from its secret bed. The loss of big saw is not the worst consequence of disturbing the magic horseshoe. There Is also. very likely, the family of Wall street magnate reduced to penury.

DESTROY WHITE FLY
 ON TOMATO PLANTS
Department of Agriculture Rec- ommends Fumigation With
 Hydrocyanic Gas.

For white fly on tomatoes the ex- perts of the department of agriculture recommend fumigation with hydro cyanic acid gas. Special care is ne cessary for the use of this poisonous gas. however, and in some cases it is undesirable or impractical. In such cases an all-night fumigation with a tobacco extract is recommended. This should be followed the next day by a swinging with whale oil soap or its equivalent The best brands of whale oil soap, used in the proportion of one to one and one-half ounces per gallon of water. have been found to destroy all of the white flies except the eggs. . small percentage of the nearly ma ture pupae. and from 25 to 50 per cent of the adults which escape the spray by flying from the plants It is not advisable to syringe tomato plants fn greenhouses at any time. when avoidable, as swinging interferes with pollination and produces a damp at mosphere which promotes rot, but the injury by swinging may be as noth- ing compared with that which Is caused daily by the insects.

He was a leader of the new evangelical school. which was believed 10 offer the most powerful op- position to all the doctrines of mate rialism, rampant throughout the land. All Clayton awaited his first visit.
 On the evening of his arrival Made leine was in the church. She was alone: she had been decorating the a. taS and putting the last garlands of green about the pillars. Then, her work done, the memory of the past came rushing over her. Just so had she worked in the days when Upton and she were engaged to be married. They had met here; and her memo ries opened the hoodgates of her sor- row. She kneeled and wept before the altar.
 She did not hear the door open, nor was she aware that she was not alone until she started up, to see the bishop standing at her side. Through eyes blinded with tears she discerned the kindly man who looked inquiringly at Ter.
 You are in trouble?' asked the bishop.
 She nodded desolately. She could not speak; she buried her head in her arms and sobbed.
 Then suddenly sine found herself poured cut her story. It was a tale of pride and punishment, but the pun. ishment had been out of proportion to the sin.
 Fifteen years before. almost to . day, she was to have married Upton Vane. The marriage was only IF hours away. Upton was in her moth. CTS home when a messenger came to the door
 An old colored woman who lived eight miles away was dying. She had something to confess before she died. She wanted a minister-any minister.

Plants Capable of Love.

Blue rockets show fear and the dead iy nightshade is full Of hatred Both of these are plants. but that does not prevent them from declaring merci- less war on animal life. The blue rocket is a dainty towering shrub which gives forth a perfume at night, but it carries one of the deadliest of poisons. One-sixteenth of a grain shot from its poison pistil has proved fatal to a man. This is according to Prof. Henry G. Walters of Philadelphia. who maintains that plants have memories and are capable of love.

With new corn the sreateV danger ts in overlooking. Farmers who have ola corn left over who will take the trouble to mix it with the new. can feed the new crop to very good sd vantage because the green stun is greatly relished by the pigs and it adds to the palatability of the old corn.
 But it is . mistake to start hogs on new corn alone and all well informed feeders know that !. takes more grain and longer time to make fat hogs from new than from old corn.
 Another thing: It is believed by many hog raisers that heavy feeding with new corn produces cholera. While this is not likely, 1t is almost certain to produce disturbance of the digestive organs and prevent that steady laying on of fat which is the aim Of all feeders.
 We all know that corn is the most fattening feed that can be used but many Of us have not yet learned that constant and heavy feeding of this grain alone produces serious trouble and does not make as good pork as when fed judiciously with other kinds of food.
 When a hog is stuffed with corn and nothing else. he soon becomes over fattened and his growth stops. simply because he does not get the proper material in his food to make bone and muscle and his fat is piled on a small. weak frame.
 A corn-fat hog is also deficient in rich blood, lacks stamina and is in a

Orioin of War Terms.

With the exception of shrapnei. named after its inventor. an English colonel, there are very few war terms now in use which have a British origin. "Grenadier" Is generally sup posed to come from the French. The word is. however. of German birth and originally was "grenatier." the force owing their name to the hand grenades with which they were armed. The word ''musket" has an Italian de- riyation-"moschetto which was re- ally a species of small sparrow-hawk. T.. ancient times and in the middle ages the name musket was used to designate a small mortar which threw arrows. When gunpowder was invent ed a small cannon was baptized .musket." and later the rife of tho ordinary infantryman earned the name. while the whole unit was called "musketeers."

poor condition to resist any disease that is liable to attack him under such condition. lt is all right to crowd pigs from birth to maturity provided they are crowded with growth as well as fat.
 The first two months must be spent In building up a frame work and con stitution which will carry a load of fat which is to be put on during the close of the feeding period.
 The wise feeder does not figure so much on the amount of fat he can put on his hogs as he does on how quickly and chesply he can prepare them for market and how much profit he can make during the feeding period.
 The farmer who has a hundred acres of corn and no clover pasture or alfalfa is not in a good position as re- gards hog feeding. Clover. alfalfa. wheat bran. pumpkins and skim milk are all necessary to the proper feed ing of hogs from the time they are pigs to the time they are sent to mar ket. If a man has no sensible knowl- edge of balanced rations, he can. if he Is a close observer and possessed of common sense. generally tell when his hogs are making the right kind of growth.
 If he observes his hogs becoming chubby with rolls of fat, skin pale. showing anemic conditions. listless and lacking in snap and yigor. he will know that they are getting too much corn and will change or vary his ra- tion to overcome these unfayorable conditions.

Pride and Punishment
By MARY PENNELL |

 Madeleine Driscoll had returned to the old manor house in Clayton after an absence of l5 years.
 Clayton had ceased to think of the Driscolls. They had been squires in the old days. but their importance had faded as Clayton became a manu- featuring town, and Madeleine's father had lost his money in wild speculation, leaving an impoverished wife and daughter striving to keep up the old state which had long ago departed.
 Finally. after her mothers death, the girl had gone away. She had closed up the house, and it had stood untenanted upon the hill. People ceased to speak of her. she was al most forgotten when she returned.
 Her return awakened memories of her life in the place. Gossips recalled that she had been engaged to be mar ried once. Her fiance was the young Episcopal clergyman, Upton vane. He had not appeared at the church door; that much was remembered. He had , had not seen him again. Life had continued just as smoothly in Clay ton.
 It was to a haven of peace that the woman of thirty-fve returned. The lit tie church was still standing. mellowed by time, the creeAers now extending over the entire front. The village had grown, factories had sprung up. but much was the same. Only those who had known Madeleine when she was young woman had nearly all died or departed
 She threw herself into church work. She sewed, she taught; the children adored her. She could not look upon these boys and girls, with all the prom ise of life before them. without think ing of her own wasted life.
 The annual confirmation class was waiting for the arrival of the bishop. The bishop of Wauhaskett was still

MAKE PROFIT WITH
 SHEEP ON ANY FARM
Properly Cared For, They Have Fewer Ailments Than Any
 Other Farm Animal.

For the man who has rough or poor land with short pastures, sheep are much more profitable than cattle.
 On a farm of 100 acres or over, 1t pays much better to sell sheep as nut ton instead Of stock for other people to fatten.
 Sheep should be graded according IT, size, putting the prime ones in lot to be fed by themselves. and If you are determined 10 keep the poor ones put them in a different lot and do the best you can with them. Better sell them. though.
 If your ewes drop their lambs and these are in need of attention which their mother cannot give them. dilute cows milk with about one-third wa ter.
 There is nothing better for sheep than clover, except possibly alfalfa.
 Some farmers say they do not keep sheep because they are subject to disease. which is a great mistake: be- cause properly cared for sheep have fewer ailments than any other farm animal
 No animal on the farm is an dainty as the sheep when it comes to drink ing water. It must be clean before the sheep will touch 1t.
 If you have Had no experience with sheep do not buy a ram on your own judgment. but get some man who owns sheep to buy it for you. And don't be stingy in the matter of price.
 The big fairs are great object les sons which the farmer who tries to keep up with tho times cannot afford to miss.
 If you intend to go into the sheep business better go to the state fair this fall.

 The war department Is keeping very

 are ever ready to grab up any new de- vice which seems to promise use in warfare
 It was well known in Washin gton.
 however. that the army officers of the 1 commission which visited Gloucester
 were enthusiastic when they returned
 here. They saw MT. Hammond put l his famous wireless boat. the Natalia.
 through its paces without a single fail ure to respond to radio control.
 Sitting in his laboratory on shore. the inventor put the Natalia on her
 course and held her there until he
 wished to turn. when she took the pre- else angle he desired.
 He demonstrated that he could con- 1 trol the Natalia for the ordinary range
 of vision. which is about eight miles on the ocean surface. Indeed. the dis
 tance of control is limited only by the power of the high radio station. He dsed a f1ve-kilowatt station. A big ! battleship carries a station of from
 thirty to fifty kilowatts.
 Gen. E. M Weaver. chief Of the coast artillery corps, said in regard to
 the Hammond Invention:
 If such a means of attack were added to those We now have we would l then be able to attack an enemy's
 ships by mortar fire falling vertically
 on the decks of the ships. by gunfire
 against the side. turret and barbette
 armor and by mines and radio-con- trolled torpedo below water" To test the possibility of interfer- | ing with the wireless control of the ! Natalia the Dolphin, which has the
 best radio-transmitting apparatus In the United States navy. was sent to
 Gloucester. and by breaking in with
 her powerful waves attempted to neu-
 tralize or disarrange the messages 1 from the shore. The experiments con tinued many hours. Throughout all | this time the little Natalia Garted
 about under perfect control. while the Dolphin operator tried in vain to fath- om the secret and send out ether
 vibrations which would confuse her.
 Not until the Dolphin was only 23o | feet distant from the Natalia could the shore control be affected. That
 would be too close for its battleship
 victim to stop torpedo.
 It is suggested that the final form the radio-directed torpedo may take will be that of a submarine running | a few feet below the surface or a hy-
 droplane travelling at immense speed on the surface of the water. Mir. Hammond's second important
 device Is the thermite shell, which he
 says was handed over to the Germans | by a traitorous German employee of
 his and is now being used in the war
 in Europe.

"I1l have tc go. Madeleine" the min. ister answered. The call has come to me"
 Well. I think it outrageous" an- swered the girl hotly. Remember. if you keep me waiting tomorrow, I'll not marry you"
 -Why. my dear, I'll be back by mid. night" Upton answered.
 She suffered him to kiss her. but her manner was distinctly aggrieved as he took his departure. And when he reached the miserable shack, he found cause for further delay.
 The old woman's son was expected hourly from the South. He had com mitted a crime: he had confessed to his mother. and when he arrived she wished him to unburden himself of his secret and suffer the penalty. It would mean a dozen years in the peni- tentiary. She could not die leaving him with his crime unatoned.
 The minister waited. Hours crept by. It was morning before the son appeared. He was just in time to say good-by to his mother. to listen to her plea, and to make his confession.
 The woman died, and the minister took the man to the police station. By the time these formalities were end. ed it was ten o'clock. And he had half an hour to go home and dress for the wedding.
 There were no telephones in those days. At furious pace he drove his horse up the hill, to encounter the brides carriage going to the church. Madeleine saw him. He pulled up and tried to speak to her.
 Take us home!" cried the girl to the coachmsn.
 Those were the last words of hers that Upton heard. Arrived at the ma. nor. she shut herself up for days. ln vain Upton tried to see her She would not receive him. She returned his letters. A week later the young man left Clayton and his successor was installed. A few weeks after that Mrs. Driscoll died, and Madeleine soon closed the house and disappeared.
 She had lived in the world, she had tasted the sweets and bitterness of life. and now. at thirty-five. she had returned to her native town. And those memories which she thought she had forgotten came back 10 her with poignant intensity.
 That was the story she told the bishop.
 What can do?" she cried. q have been punished. Heaven knows have suffered. have ruined two lives"
 You have never seen or heard of this Upton vane since them" the bish. op asked gravely.
 No. I don't know where he went. How could seek him out after that?'' But you knew at the time the cause oS his late return?'
 Not for weeks" answered Mace- leine. And then. what was the use of being sorry?'

 He is happy" answered the bish, oH. But he has not forgotten you. Something in his voice made the girl start and look at him intently. She had not seen his face for her tears: new she found herself looking into the eyes of Upton Vane.
