Lost Picture Found.

A long lost Raphael was recently

brought to light is one of the curiosi-
ties of picture dealing. few months
ago. London picture dealer bought
in a salesrOom what was said to be a
copy of the picture in the Ufiizi gal
lery of Florence, known as Raphael's
madonna del Pozzo'' (the Madonna Of
the WelD. For long time past this
Florence picture had been known to
be not actually by Raphael, but copy
of a picture presumably lost. The Lon
don picture dealer sold his "copy of
copy for q modest sum to one of his
clients, a well-knOwn and well-tO-do
city merchant. It was sent to be
cleaned. Cleaning off of some arpar-
emily superfiuous paint revealed the
existence of another picture under
meath and actually of the same sub
iect. When all the top picture was
taken off there was revealed remark
able piece of work, which has been de-
clared by many experts to be unmis-
takably the work of Raphael himself

INJURY BY CORN-EAR WORMS
Kansas Agricultural College Finds IL
Possible to Control Little Pest
by Spraying.

Nearly all roasting ears on the mar
ket in recent years have been injured
by the corn-ear worm, and those known
to be free from the injury can be sold
at from s to 10 cents more per dozen,
For six years the department Of en-
tomology of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college and experiment station
has been studying the worm and has
found that a large proportion of the
eggs deposited in the summer are
placed on the fresh corn silks. From
these eggs the worms that injure the
ears originate. The young larvae be-
gin feeding on the silks and eat their
way down into the ear. 1t is, there
fore, possible to control much Of the
injury by keeping the silks sprayed
during the silking period.
Powdered arsenate Of lead has been
found to be the most efficient poison.
A IS per cent mixture Of arsenate OF
lead, with air-slaked lime or land plas-
ter is practically as good as the poison
alone. The dust is shaken upon the
silks from an ordinary cheesecloth bag
or flour sack. Under average weather
conditions four or five applications at
intervals of three or four days are suf-
ficient.

to prove that by careful and palms.
taking work such strains can be pro-
duced.
No intelligent study Of cultural
methods in the production of sugar
beets or of problems involving a
comparison Of varieties can be made
until uniform and fixed varieties with
which to work are available.
The production Of strains having
roots of uniform size and habit Of
growth and capable of yielding seed
stalks uniform in habit of growth
and maturity Should make possible
improved cultural methods, especially
in the planting Of the roots and in
the harvesting Of the seed, that will
reduce greatly the cost Of production.
After seed harvest the beet roots
and stalks remain in the ground In a
sound and palatable condition for
live stock feed. The present practice
is to feed these roots in the field
utilizing them as pasture. !
The beet-sugar industry in the
United States is composed Of three
distinct branches, namely, beet-seed
production, sugar-beet growing, and
beet-sugar extraction and refining.
They are so linked that each is de-
pendent upon the others, not only for
it's complete success but for it's very
existence. Without seed the sugar.
beet industry, in which more than
10000 American farmers are directly
interested, could not exist, and with
out beets the "a beet-sugar mills now
standing, with an invested capital Of
more than $1OO,OOO,O0O, would be idle.
The beet-sugar industry is, of course,
the foundation upon which sugar.
beet growing and beet-sugar extrac-
ton rests. Because Of it's fundamen-
tai character, it is surprising that

eral and more earnest attention in the
past. The two primary causes that
have operated against the development
of the sugar-beet seed industry in this
country were Q) the fact that suf'
| ficient quantity of seed to meet our re-
guirements was easily Obtainable from
European countries at a reasonable
price and (2) the prevailing idea that
conditions in this country, from the
standpoint either Of labor cost or OF
climate, would not permit the success
| full development Of the seed industry in
| the United States. Recent experiences,
however, have shown the folly Of de-
pending upon foreign countries for our
beet-seed supply, while experiments

proved the falsity Of the opinion rela-
tive to labor and climatic conditions.

MAKING MONEY OUT OF cows
Seven Fundamental Principles Of Sue

Poor Animals.

There are ten rules for making
money out Of cows and they all begin
with milk good cows"
To put the case in a nutshell, or
rather to skim the cream from the
whole matter, let us admit that there
are, say, seven fundamental principles
Of successful dairying, about as fol-
lows:
1. Weed out the poor COWS by means
Of the scales and the Babcock test.
2. Feed the good cows plenty Of
clean, choice stuff as close to q bal
anced ration as possible.
3. Eliminate competition by produc-
ing a better product than the other fell
low and demanding good price for it.
4. Head the herd with a high-class;
pure-bred sire.
5. Raise the promising calves from
the best COWS only.
6. Develop market for your sur
plus bull calves and other stock.
Z. Feed the mind Of the man behind
the COW.

Great Stroke From Both Political

AS we move away from the day In
which they labOred, Disraeli looms

Gladstone smaller. Once these legis-
lative glndiators appeared just the re-
verse.
Gladstone never did anything for his
empire Of such transcendent impOr-
lance as Dlsraeli's financial coup In
buying control Of the Suez canal from

serves in the Philadelphia Ledger.
That ended finally the French hopes
Of empire in the East.
Besides delivering a mighty politi-
cal stroke for his country, which re-
minds one of JeffersOn's purchase Of
Louisiana, Disraeli made financial in
vestment that was worthy Of ROths-
child.
The Suez canal stock which he
bought--17GGOO shares out Of a total
of 40O,OOO-are now worth just seven
times what England paid for them.
Their par value is 500, and a divi-
dcnd Of IS per cent has just been de-
clared, and it was over 80 per cent
before the war cut down canal traffic.

Cutworms eat off the young plants

do this in the night. In the daytime
they can usually be found buried an
inch deep and only short distance
from the last plant eaten. Plants that
are transplanted can be protected by
wrapping paper around the stem, coy

the surface of the soil. The cutworms

GUARD ALL ALFALFA LEAVES
Two.Thirds of Feeding Value Of Plant
Is in Leaves-Rake Into Wind
rows Before Dry.

Two-th;-ds of the feeding value OF
the alfalfa plant is in the leaves. If
the leaves are lost in curing only one
third Of the feeding value remains.
This fact is regarded as important by
farmerg who advocate that alfalfa hay
be cured so as to save the leaves. This
means that the alfalfa must be raked
into windows before the leaves dry
and fall off. Raking can be done two
hours after cutting, thus saving the
leaves and preserving the green color
and desirable favor.

"Who Do You Think Turned Up
Again Today?"

Why, I shipped those belts out in a
fifty. Why, what is the matter,
honey?"
For Melvin had uttered a groan,
deep, dismal, foreboding. Deity, how
ever, he avowed a cramp in his foot.
He allowed the episode to pass, but
he took the first opportunity he could
to inspect his razor case.
''It's good there's two of them,' he
soliloquized, and none too happily.
"Did a man ever see such artless-
ness-and destructiveness? I won't
scold, though. She will mend as time
goes on"
But Airline did not mend. A week
later Melvin came home to find Airline
jubilantly excited as she held up to his
view a fancy vest.
isn't it cleaned just beautifully she
demanded, with sparkling eyes. "1ou
know how it was spotted. Well, got
your tooth brush and your hat brush
and some gasoline, and rubbed, and
rubbed, and rubbed, and-why, how
glum you look, dearie!"
"Only amazed at the nne JOD you
have DONE" observed Melvin craftily.
"It's the limit" he muttered. once
alone. "Ill have to consult mother
and see what can be DONE"
But mother was kindly indulgent.
She smiled in her gentle, patient way.
"My boy" she said, "don't forget
that Airline is young and inexperienced.
And remember one thing-all these re-
markable experiments of hers are
actuated by the very best impulses in
the world. She means well, and l
wouldn't try to subdue the kindly
spirit for worlds, if I were you"
So Melvin bore his burden patiently.
Then came a final move on the part
of Airline that very nearly drove him
frantic. He searched the wardrobe one
evening for light summer coat he had
not worn for some time, to find it
gone.
"Oh, yes, remember" spoke Airline
quickly. u gave it away, dear. One
sleeve was torn and patched and I de-
cided it wasn't good enough for you"
Melvin said no more, but he looked
pretty serious. He recalled having left
some papers in the pocket Of the old
coat. They we're of no particular
value to an outsider, but they referred
