quickly that she was out of the WIN
dow and safely home before 1 could
stop her. Only waiting to see her off
the ledge 1 turned back and hastily
pulling the panel into place dashed
for the front of the house. The
screams and the shots I was sure had
come from the apartment directly be-

had been murder done there, and my
mind was made up to investigate it
at once. If l moved quickly there
might be an opportunity to catch the
murderer red-handed. let myself out
and dashed down the one flight Of
stairs. AS arrived there, the ascend
ing elevator stopped, and Mr.. Wick
burst out, followed by an excited ele-
vator runner. Wick was carrying a
revolver in his hand.
"Did you hear anything?" he asked
excitedly.

BUILT MANY CENTURIES AGO
FlorIda's Shell Mounds Believed to
Date Back to Before Beginning
Of Christian Era.

Florida's shell mounds, which are
found In different portions Of the
state. are unquestionably of human
construction. and were probably built
by some race of people who inhabited
the country about the beginning of the
Christian era. These mounds were
found overgrown with herbage and
forest as long ago as when the first
red man set foot in Florida, and the
fact that the deposit of earth above
them was sufficient to give place to
the root Of trees proved their great
age.
There have been found in all these
mounds pieces of pottery imbedded in
the shell conglomerate, as we'll as ar
ticles made of shell and bone, rude
stone implements and many bones of
fish and animals, such as deer, terra
pin, rabbits, alligators and others.
There are In the entire state about
forty mounds, the most important of
which are those of King Phillips town,
near the outlet of Lake Harney
which are 450 feet long, from 100 to
$50 feet broad, and with an average
height of eight feet.

LIME REQUIREMENTS OF SOIL
AS General Rule Application of Small
Quantity viii Be Beneficial
Ashes Help Some.

There is no certain means BY which
the average gardener can determine
the lime requirements of his soil. AS
a general rule, however, the applica-
ton of small quantity of lime will be
beneficial. This should be at the rate
of from one-half bushel to one bushel
of air-slaked lime to a square rod of
ground The lime should be applied
after the land has beeen plowed or
spaded and while it is being raked
and fitted for planting.
1t should always be borne in mind
that no lime should be put on the land
that is to be planted to Irish potatoes
nor should the lime be applied at the
same time as commercial fertilizers or
poultry manure, as it has the faculty
of liberating the nitrogen contained
in the fertilizer and causing it to be
lost in the air.
Unleached wood ashes contain some
lime and considerable potash, but
should not be applied at the same time
as the lime. Coal ashes are beneficial
as means of Tightening heavy soils.
However, they have very little fertil-
izer value, the United States depart
ment of agriculture says.

new SOUTH WALES
Facilitates Farming by Giving
Ample Agricultural Training.

Not only does the farmer of New
South Wales enjoy the unparalleled
advantages afforded by nature in the
gift of mild climate, where it never
freezes except in the highest noun.
tains, where fodder grows the year
around, and shelter is not necessary
to protect the stock, but he is also
provided by the State with every op,
portunity for learning the scientific
and practical side of farming. The
Government of New South Wales has
a large number of Experiment Farms
established for the purpose of aiding
the beginner, and of advancing knowl-
edge in an industry upon which the
worlds advancement depends.
A dozen or more of these State
Farms are open to students, one of
the best known being the Hawkesbury
Agricultural College, at Richmond,
thirty-eight miles from Sydney, which
has an experiment farm of $500 acres,
supplied with all the most modern
farm equipment. Its 300 students,
taking a two-year course, not only ac-
quire theoretical knowledge of agri-
culture through a study of chemistry,
botany, bacteriology, ETC., and their
application to farm work, but also get
the most practical kind of training in
the various branches of farming-hor-
ticulture. beekeeping, poultry farming,
carpentry, blacksmithing, harness max
ing, engine driving and the use Of elec-
tricity. At Grafton, on the Clarence
River, special work is done in sheep
and dairy farming, and in the culture
of grasses and other fodder plants
Others of these Experiment Farms
specialize in various subjects, such as
irrigation farming, fruit and vine cul-
ture, wheat breeding, pig raising, ETC.,
in an effort to ascertain the most suit
able economic plants and animals to
be grown in particular districts in
which these farms are situated.
Farming is coming to be recognized
as q profession calling for the best
brain power q man has, and the best
training he can bring to it. New South
Wales, realizing this fact, is offering
by means Of these numerous Expert
ment Farms, splendid opportunity to
the farmers to secure scientific train
ing, and to reap the benefits of the
latest experimental work in agricul-
ture. New South Wales Information

American breeders follow no uni

CHAPTER VIII.

Inserting the key Mr.. Wick handed
me, turned it sharply and flung the
door wide. 1t revealed a luxurlously
furnished apartment the front rooms
of which were extravagantly ablaze
with light.
For a moment the three of US, Mr..
Wick, the elevator boy and myself,
stood there with our ears alert for
any sound from the apartment. While
do not admit to being a coward, the
unknown has its terrors for all of us,
and 1 must confess that the knowledge
that Mr.. Wick had his revolver drawn
was indeed comforting. All was
silence in the place.
"John," said Wick to the elevator
boy, you stand here right by the door
and keep your eye on the elevator. If
anybody tries to sneak past you, you
holler for u.s."
"'Deed 1 will, Mr.. Wick" said the
boy, with chattering teeth. 'Tl holler,

perintendent, 'Tm right behind you

of the tragedy would be the room di-
rectly under mine. The screams had

Although the lights in the front of

Rabbits have always been an impor-
tant source of meat in Europe, but
in the United States until recently
few of them were eaten except during
the winter hunting season. Condi-
tiOns resulting from the great war
have awakened many Americans to the
economic value of rabbits and more
and more people each year are raising
sufficient in their back yards to supply
the family table. The flesh of the
young domesticated rabbits is vastly
superior in fiber and flavor to that of
the wild rabbits. 1t closely resembles
the white meat of chicken.
A prolific 10-pound doe can easily
raise in a year 20 young, which at 5
months will produce not less than so

ADVISABLE TO PRUNE
AND STAKE TOMATOES
Question Is Asked Every Year BY
Many Gardeners.
Advantages Are That Larger Number
of Plants Can Be Set on Given
Area-QuaIity of Fruit Is
Usually Much Better

Does it pay to prune tomato vines
to single stem and tie them to
stakes or to a trellis? This question
is asked every year by thousands Of
home gardeners. 1t does pay, accord
ing to United States department of
agriculture specialists, especially if
the space for garden purposes is
limited, and it is desired to make the
best use of it. Tomato plants, if left
to themselves, have habit of spread
ing all over the garden and of produc-
ing their fruit right on the ground,
where it becomes covered with dirt
every time there is a rain.
Advantages of pruning and stalking
tomatoes are that a larger number
of plants can be set on a given area
than by the ordinary method; the fruit
will ripen little earlier on the plants
that are pruned and staked; and the
fruit is held off the ground, is clean,
and easy to gather.
While the individual plants do not
produce so large a quantity of fruit
as when they are allowed to spread
upon the ground, at least three times
as many plants can be set on a given
area, thereby actually increasing the
quantity of tomatoes produced. The
quality of the fruit is usually better
on the plants that are pruned and
tied to stakes.
Small round poles about four feet
in length, sharpened at one end, make
the most desirable tomato stakes for
the home garden. The best proof that
stalking tomatoes pays is found in the
fact that the best home gardeners fol-
low the practice.

done on an area 4 by feet. Half
an hour of time a day, and some hay,
roadside weeds, and refuse from orch
ards, garden, and kitchen, supplement-
ed by small quantity of grain, cover
the cost of production. Raising rab-
bit meat for home consumption is
proposition for turning to account
time, space, and materials which are
ordinarily wasted.
Cost of Rabbit Raising.
The cost of starting a rabbitry de-
pends on it's size and on the price of
material. One can buy two good does
and buck of breeding age-enough
to supply an average family with all
the rabbit meat it would care to use
for anywhere from S1.50 to $40 each,
or for total Of from $3.50 to $50.
Hutches may vary in cost from a
few cents each, the price Of an empty
dry-goods box, to several dollars, if
expended for dressed lumber to be put
together by a carpenter. On a farm
where odds and ends of lumber and
poultry netting usually are available
and where hay, grain, and milk are
produced in abundance, the money
cost of starting and carrying on a
small rabbitry is negligible. In any
case the initial cost need not be great.
The daily cost when all feed is pur-
chased is not usually above 1 cent for
10 or II pound rabbit, a recent bull.

GOOD FARMsTEAD PAINTINGS
Trees Are Used for Windbreaks and
Shade, While Shrubs Are Needed to
Cover Unsightly Spots.

Suitable paintings are necessary to
unite the parts of a farmstead into a
pleasing, homelike whole, says the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Trees are used for windbreaks,
as frames for the buildings or back
ground for them, and to give shade
Shrubs are needed in abundance to
hide partially the foundation lines of
buildings. support their corners. give
reasons for turns in drives or walks,
and to screen unsightly objects. Ma
tive trees and shrubs and those known
by trial to thrive in the locality are
the best to use.
