boy, who had been treated by a
Christian Science practitioner after
breaking his leg, was a neglected

The boy fell from a hay.mow in
the barn Of his father, Harry Moyse,
nineteen weeks ago. He was in bed
for sixteen weeks and since then has
been able to walk with the aid Of

Lent summoned her from another
part OF the house. The informa-
ton received by the attorney gen.
erals department was that the girl
had since 1917 been kept in a
naked and degraded condition IN
the Lent household.
Lent is now held at the Digby
Jail, charged with seduction. 4
Halifax policewoman is caring for
the girl.
Bertha Potter was about fifteen
years of age when she went to
live with the Lents some time in
1915. She was seen in and around
the Lent home until 1918, when
she disappeared. The generally &C.
cepted belief was that she had left
the Lents. So far as authorities
have been able to learn, no one in
the busy little Nova Scotia com
gable-roofed cottage opposite the
Village hotel, confined a broken.
hearted girl completely under the
domination of the aged Lent.
The letter, which led to the dis.
covery of the girl, was from q Mas.
sachusetts man, who said he had
visited the Lents in 1917. At that
time he was attracted by a girls
voice, and investigating, he declared,
found the young woman locked in a
dark room. He opened the door and
found her almost naked. She told
him Lent was keeping her clothes
from her and OBTAINING her against
her will.

U. S. Denies Payment
Of 100000 For
"Red" Documents

Charges emanating from the
Russian foreign Office that the
United States Government had
paid 100000 for the docu-
ments it possesses concerning
communistic propaganda in this
country were denied at the
State Department today.
Inquiries with respect to the
charge were first met with the
statement that the Government
did not wish to dignity the
charge by formal denial, but
it was stated later that "the
press could have a denial If it

Sweet Clover Seeded in
Fall With Winter Wheat

Sweet clover can be seeded with
winter wheat this fall without much
chance that the legume will crowd
out the grain or interfere with har-
yesting. Where there is enough mois-
ture in the soil for quick termination,
and where hulled seed Is used, some
better stands have been secured by
seeding sweet clover about eight weeks
before the first severe fall frost comes.
The plants from such fall-sown crop
mature later than do the plants from
seed sown the following spring, but
ten DAYS difference would only bring
the harvest of sweet clover at bet
ter time for good haying weather, and
is no disadvantage to the plan.
If the summer season Is very dry
fall seeding is less advisable. Then
the next best plan would be to SOW
the clover on top Of the winter grain
broadcast in the early spring when
the ground is in a honeycombed con-
dition. Late fall seedlings are sub
1eet to heavy injury on wet clay
land, and the root growth from falling
clover is perhaps not so great.

Iowa Makes Big Strides
in Clearing Animal T. B,

Twenty-Five counties in Iowa, depart"
ment records show, are engaged in tu-
berculosis eradication under the area
plan, and more cattle are tested in
that state monthly than in any other
state Moreover, Winnebago county,
Iowa, which is the first county to COM
plete area work, is now on the list OF
modified accredited counties. This
designation means that bovine tuber-
culosis in the county has been re-
duced, by testing and the removal OF
the reactors, to less than one-half OF
per cent.
A number of packers are paying a
premium of 10 cents per hundred
weight for hogs originating in modi-
fed accredited areas. The first car
load of hogs In Iowa to receive the
1O-cent premium originated in Winnie
bago county and topped the market
in Chicago Monday, July %, as well
as receiving the premium, which
amounted to $17.67 for the shipment.
In paying the premium for the hogs

which purchased them stated, Il want
to pay the premium on some more OF
them. They are worth more"

Keep Flies Away From
Stock by Using Sprays

Every day we have calls for some
sort of spray which will keep flies
away from cattle. The following is
suggested by the New Jersey expert
ment station:
The common cattle flies which gath
er or the backs of cows and annoy
them so that milk production is de-
creased, can be eliminated by home
made spray mixture that costs only
1 cent day for each COW.
A spray mixture recommended by
j. X. Bartlett, professor of dairy hus-
bandry at the college of agriculture
at New Brunswick, consists of the
following ingredients: Az quarts of
coal tar dip, Az quarts fish oil, 3
quarts of coaloil, 3 quarts OF whale
oil, 11a quarts of oil of tar, pounds
Of laundry soap.
Dissolve the soap in water and add
the other ingredients. Mix the COM
bination thoroughly and bring the
whole up to 80 gallons by adding luke
warm water.
This spray will not injure the coats
of the animals. 1t is well to spray
twice daily; once in the morning after
milking, and again in the afternoon.
Thirty gallons will spray 40 cows for
ten days at cost Of 1 cent per COW
per day.

Difficult to Determine
Sex of Young Chickens

Experienced poultrymen find 1t hard
to realize how difficult it is for the In
experienced to tell the sex of chick
ems. even at three months Of age.
Cases are known Of cOckerels Of that
age being shipped as pullets with the
very best intention on the part Of the
seller. The Storrs station gives the
following helpful directions for detect
ing the males:
perhaps the surest and most sat
isfactory method of determining the
sex of those individuals about which
one Is uncertain Is to examine the
feathers on the back and saddle. On
the males these feathers will be long
and pointed, while the edges will
show a characteristic sheen and an
absence of the barbules which give
the web of ar ordinary feather Its
solid appearance. In other words,
the ends Of the barbs on the back
feathers of a cockerel are perfectly
smooth, and there il a very definite
space between them. The pullet
feathers, on the other hand, have a
short, rounded and blunt appearance,
an entire absence Of sheen, so that the
whole surface Of the web presents the
same general appearance. II these
differences are kept in mind there Will
be very few individuals in the flock
which cannot be correctly classified
as to SEX"

Use Of Fly Sprays and
Different Repellants

The use of fly sprays and repellants
offer some relief at milking time, but
it is doubtful If thorough spraying
will affect the milk flow. Trials at the
Missouri experiment station and re-
Gently at the Kansas station have
tended to show no increase in milk
flow following liberal spraying. The
sprays used in the Kansas test were
partially successful in reducing the
number of flies during milking time at
a cost of one to two cents per COW per
day. The decrease in milk flow which
occurs during fly time is largely due
to short pastures and hot weather. To
see that the cows have sufficient feed,
water and shade Is therefore of pri-
mary Importance.

Substantial Structure
Best to Preserve Corn

IT matters but little what kind of
a silo is erected. SO long as it is an
air-tight and substantial structure, 1t
will preserve the corn crop without
any loss nor trouble. However, from
the economic standpoint, embracing
such features as permanence, safety,
fireproof features, and resistance to
the wind and weather, some kind of
masonry silo is to be preferred, for
it will not rot, it will not blow down
and it is permanent.
On the other hand, If it should ever
no desired to move silo from one
site to another, the man with the ma
sonrv silo is at decided disadvan-
tage. for once such structure is
erected, it must stay there. A wood
staye silo is to be preferred in case it
NAV ever be moved. 1t may also blend
more effectively with the other build
;nos than a masonry silo would under
certain conditions, and it might coin
eide much better with the condition
of the purse at this time.

SHRUBS AND TREES
ADD TO FARM VALUE

Plant hardy trees and shrubs this
fall that should have been planted in
the spring and so add value and beauty
to the farm.
Individuality and character are ex-
pressed just as much by outside dec
grafton of the farm home, declares f..
A. Aust of the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture.
I'm planning the Identification of the
farmstead," says this authority, "the
house should be made the center of the
! picture. Give it the prominence it re-
quires and make all other features
secondary to it. Place walks, drives
and outbuildings on the side of the
lawn, where they will be inconspicuous
and keep the lawn open so the picture
will be dignif1ed and restful Flower
beds, iron monuments, curious stones,
or improperly located plants which
would detract from the picture, should
be cleared from the lawn.
''Trees are TO be considered the
background and the frame of the home
picture and as such should be always
placed to the rear and the side and
should, as a rule, be planted as single
specimens or in irregular groups, TAX
ing care not to plant them too thick.
Trees should rarely be placed In
straight rows.
SHRUBS are the harmonizing ele-
ments Of the home ground picture.
Group them at the corners and angles
Of the house to make them appear
part of the grounds. Plant the more
refined-growing varieties about the
house and the coarser ones such as
sumach, elder and black haw at the
borders of the lawn where they will be
seen at a greater distance. Plant the
high-growing shrubs at the corners Of
the house and in the wider portions OF
the border beds for accentuatiOn, and
the low shrubs in front Of the higher
ones so there will be one continuous
mass of foliage Do not scatter a great
variety of plants in one bed, but use
several of one or two varieties to Sc
cure unity and mass effect. Plant
towering shrubs for spring beauty,
shrubs with colored leaves for fall and
evergreens and trees with colored bark
for winter"
