suit of the exposure to which he was sub
iected. He started home from work at G
o'clock in the evening. His way took him

lost his bearings and after stumbling about

a brook where he was found at o'clock
Saturday night by party which had been
searching for him all night. He leaves his
brother, John Sumner. with whom he
lived, aud a sister in Colorado.

HORSE AND SLEIGH RECOVERED
Stolen in Keene, N. H., and Abandoned
in Bellows Falls.

The horse and sleigh stolen from the
barn of Mrs. Joseph Blanchard ON Sui
Ivan street, Keene, n. H., Thursday
night of last week, was recovered in
Bellows Falls, but no trace of the thiee
could be found by the Keene police
who are looking up the case.
The man who stole the rig was
traced to Sury where he exchanged
sleighs and then drove to Alstead and
abandoned the rig at Bellows Falls. 1t
is believed that a girl of about -
years of age accompanied the man, as
such pair were seen in Alstead with
the rig answering the one which was
stolen.

NO BASIS
FOR EARLY
REAPING
Rusted Wheat Should be
Permitted to Ripen in
Normal Manner.
FAVORS The HEALTY BERRY
If Cut Before Matured, En-
tire Crop Becomes Shriv-
eled, Says Bolley.

Rusted grain should be permitted to
ripen normally. the theory that such
grain should be cut early, being un-
sound. according to H. L. Bolley, state
pure seed commissioner.
Il have had a number Of letters
from farmers asking whether rusty
wheat should be cut early in order to
keep the grain from shriveling," said
Mr.. Bolley today.
For three years, particularly in
1904. I carried out a number Of cut
ting experiments to ascertain whether
there is any time previous to ma
turity at which it is preferable to
cut rusty wheat. These trials, even on
rusty wheat. seem to indicate that it
rtpen normally. for rust does not at
tack all Of the plants equally and
those that are not heavily attacked
will ripen some plump seed. If the
grain is cut while there is milk in it,
all Of it will be shriveled. Therefore
it is my opinion that the wheat should
be allowed to stand until by study Of
the straw and grain each farmer is
convinced that his particular field is
ready to cut. Usually the straw should
be yellow above the second joint from
the ground. When the kernel is pinch
ed it should emit no moisture or milk
The Barberry Bush.
Observations made this year and
past years, convince me that the Bar
berry bush, commonly planted as a
hedge, should be declared a public
nuisance and be destroyed wherever
possible. This is a great destroyer of
wheat as it starts the rust early in
May. The sexual stage-male and
female form of the wheat rust is car
ried by the Barberry bush, and seems
to serve as a constant reinvigorator Of
the Stem or Black Rust"
