SERVED TWO GOOD PURPOSES
Burglar Alarm in Tomb of Tartars
Told of Burglary and Also Exc
cuted Justice.

In Tibet the Tartars have what is
possibly the oldest burglar alarm in
the world. II was invented as pre-
caution against the robbing of tombs.
When royal parsonage died in Tibet
he was buried with all his jewels and
precious robes. To add a still higher
tribute, the most beautiful young wom-
en- of his court were suffocated and EN-
balmed upon the day of the funeral.
This conserved their beauty, and they
were placed in standing position
around the tomb of their master. each
holding some trinket used by the roy
al parsonage during his lifetime.
To protect these treasures from van
dals the Tibetans erected an arch of
sharply pointed arrows, and whoever
passed under this troll upon a release,
which discharged the arrows in quick
succession. This invention, hidden
around the temples and tombs of the
rich Tartars, was doubly efficient, as
it protected property as well as exc
cuted justice without unnecessary trial
by jury.

According to the United States de-
partment of agriculture specialists, the
compost pile is a fertile source of valu
able material for replenishing the plant
food supplies of the soil. Proper utili-
cation of the compost saves much fer
tilizing material which ordinarily is
was ed on the average farm. The ex-
pense Of making the compost heap is
slight as compared with the fertilizing
value of the resultant material.
Compost Heap Essential.
The essentials of the compost heap
are to equip it with water-tight foun-
dation by pudding clay. This is done
by spreading the clay 10 to u inches
thick and then moistening and tram
ping it thoroughly. A framework of
logs or lumber should be built up
around the pile and increased in height
as the compost heap is built higher.

MONTHS OF HEAVY HARvESTS
September Is Most Prolific, Having
High Percentages for Many
important Crops.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
There are some months in which
more than one-half of the national
crop is harvested June barely misses
being such month for Strawberries.
In July So, 90, and So per cent of the
entire harvest is performed for barley,
oats, and raspberries, and u and IA
per cent for rye and timothy hay. Au-
gust is almost devoid of a harvest of
more than one-half of the total, and
Tie list has only timothy seed, with
"a per cent of the entire harvest. Sep
rember, on the other hand, is most
prolific of such harvests. The per-
centages representing sorghum for
strip, tobacco, clover seed, dry BEANS

should be placed over the clay founda-
ton. Above this a layer of manure
or 8 inches deep should be distributed,
and If raw rock phosphate Is available,
from 90 to so pounds should be scat
tered broadcast over the manure. Then
another layer of manure should be
added and the process continued. 1t Is
essential to keep the pile of refuse
moist by sprinkling it frequently. 1t
is also necessary to keep the compost
heap well packed and tramped. Ordi-
narily it takes about a year for the
stable refuse in compost heap to rot
sufficiently for use, when it should be
spread on the land in the late fall.
Manure Thoroughly Rotted.
The fundamental value of the COM
post pile comes from the fact that the
manure is thoroughly rotted and it's
plant food content is in excellent con-
dition for immediate soil use when ap-
pliel to the fields, while during its
period of decomposition it is main
tanned in excellent condition to resist
teaching and weathering.
