SUCCESS OF A WOMAN US,NQ THE tobacco sprays

MADE COMFORTABLE LIVING ON
A SMALL PLACE.
Great Secret le to Start With Poultry.
Garden and Berry Fruit* Gradu-
ally Increasing Stock and
Crop Operation*
(By KATE ST. MAUR Copyright. Bll)
Can a family make a comfortable
living on a email farm?
Yea, most emphaUcally yaa. If they
possess ordinary common sense and
Industry. My own personal experi-
ence is an undeniable demonstration
of that fact. 1 started on a rented
place with really no capital, aa a bust
ness disaster had swallowed up all
our savings, so that I know what It
is to commence at the very bottom of
the ladder.
The place we found was an old-
faahloned homestead. There were two
large barns, corn crib, toolhouse and
several odd aheds. It was really a
farm of 180 acres, but the owner let
us have the house and twelve acres,
including the orchard, for $15 a month,
on a three years’ lease, with the privi-
lege of taking over the addlUonal 188
acre* at any time during our tenancy
for an addlUonal $8 a month, with the
option of purchase.
Stock had to be bought in small lots,
as I saved money from our living ex-
penses at first So I bought a few
old hens—broody ladids that wanted to
set—and raised 148 chickens the first
summer. The old bens bad cost $10;
extra eggs for setting, $5; feed. $4.
And on the credit side there were 90
chickens sold as broUera, which
brought $22. 58 young pullets kept
for stock and all the eggs we wanted
for oar own table. From a trio of
ducks bought early In the spring 1
sold 16 young ones when nine weeks
old for $7.92. In November of the
same year 80 more were sold and 12
retained for stock. I can't give the
exact cost of feeding because no sep-
arate account was kept, but certainly
$20 would cover It The old birds
cost $4.50, so the profit on the invest-
ment amounted to nearly $30.
The apple orchard was in a very
badly neglected condition, but sUU we
realised $180 from sales .in the fall,
and our vegetable garden had supplied
our own needs and furnished a boun-
Uful supply for pickling, preserving
and canning for winter. Having a bal-
ance on the right side of the ledger,
we built a new chicken bouse and
bought a cow. The place was entirely
self-supporting by the eighteenth
month, and from that time on stock
grew so rapidly that It seemed ad-
visable to take on the rest of the land
and raise all our own feed for the
stock.
The great secret In starting on a
small place Is, I think, to commence
with poultry, garden and berry frulta
and gradually increase stock and crop
raising operations, as success and mar-
ket, to say nothing of yoor own expe-
rience, makes growth feasible.
USE OF GREEN FERTILIZERS
Most Approved Method of Renewing

(By A. L. ICELANDER Washington Ex-
periment Station )
The tobeoco sprays are particularly
valuable for all kinds of aphis. Includ-
ing those species affecting house
plants. The woolly aphis, blackberry
aphis, the leaf hopper, red spider, flea
beetles and young scale Insects all can
be controlled by this spray. This makes
probably the best spray for oyster
shell bark louae, and should be given
tor that insect as soon as the young
hatch, usually about June 1.
Although primarily a contact apray
with tobacco spray kills by suffoca-
tion. For this reason It surpasses oth-
er oontact remedies like kerosene
emulsion or whale oil soap.

Is protected from such remedies, but
a drip of tobacco spray on the leaf
will give a fume which will prevent
the breathing of the aphis, and this
can be depended on, even though the
leaves of the tree are badly curled.
The tobacco sprays are coming more
a^i mors into general use. The depre-
dations of the rarions forms of plant
lice are so great that the most effec-
tive remedies should be made use *of

Separate Quarters for Lamba
Cribs should be provided for the
lambs when two weeks old, so that
they can eat by themselves. They
should be taught to sat a little ground
oats early and should be given s lib
tie clover hay at which to nibble all
the time. See that they have plenty
of fresh water and exercise.
They should be fed all they can eat
from the minute they oan nibble grain
until they are sent to the'market

Hop Cholera
Hog cholera is a disease which
seems to be stopped to a degree by
the frosts of winter, although frost
cannot be said to stop a case after
it has taken hold of its victim. How-
ever, it seems to prevent the rapid
spread of the disease. The result is
that in spring time the affection le,
as a rule, at the lowest ebb, but le-
ereases rapidly from that time until
fall.

Peacock Alley Gets Its Annual Spring Cleaning
JOEW YORK.—When George W. Boldl of the Waldorf-Astoria decided several
PI years ago that he would put un end to the business of numerous Individu-
als who were fleecing his patrons out of several millions a season, be did
things thoroughly. He hired Jow
(i
Smith of Scotland Yard, and told him
It was worth $25,000 a year to taavw
the famous hostelry cleaned of vermin.
Joe Smith organized a squad of ten
men and women, known to Mr. Boldt
and himself about the Waldorf, where
they circulate in Fifth avenue clothes.
Mr. Smith and his squad have Just
finished their annual spring clean-up
Kitty Quick. “Lord Harry” Haven*
and a third suave gentleman were at
the head of the procession of ejected.
A week previous one of the Smith women agents, passing herself aa a
shopper who took tea In the Waldorf frequently, observed Kitty, "Lord Harry”
and three others, two women and a man, very active In entertaining a
wealthy patron.
Joe went Into his office and studied the Waldorf collection of 6,000 pho-
tographs. These show faces of confidence persons, hotel thieves and Interna-
tional crooks.
Kitty was there, and so was Harry. A few hours later a captain of
waiters removed from the table at which the confederates were dining a set
of glasses of which they had Just time to take one alp. He used gloves.
The glasses were soon in Joe Smith's studio. They were dusted with a
prepared powder and photographed. Joe smiled.
That afternoon Joe, who is a polished gentleman In appearance as well as
In reality, strolled up Peacock alley and met Kitty of the $150 Parts hat.
“Madam.” said the Scotland Yard man. quietly, “the management would
like to know your precise business In this hotel?"
“What have you got on me?” she replied, descending to the vernacular.
“A photograph and two fine sets of finger prints.”
Peacock alley had had its annual spring cleaning- j

CAN FTtANClSCO, CAL.—William Kahler, an old hunchback beggar, who has

with the aid of a cane as old and battered as himself, stepped the other night
from his lowly estate of a mendicant

into the class of capitalists.
For more than twenty years Kahler
had kept pretty much out of every-
body's way, gathering a nickel here
and a dime there from the good peoplo
who took compassion on a feeble old
cripple with a grizzled, ragged beard,
dressed In tatters. The police never
troubled Kahler unless It was to throw
him a coin.
Then Kahler was arrested—by a
mistake. The man who arrested him

did not know Kahler. Desk Sergeant Dunne at the central police station was
about to chide Policeman Oliver Cox, who made the arrest, and then Dunne
thought Kahler would bo Just as well off In a cell as sleeping under some
sidewalk or In some tumble-down barn.
Dunne passed his hand over tho beggar's back. It was hard. He rapped

When the vest came off there was disclosed a neatly made artificial hump
of tin, strapped to Kahler's body over his shoulders and under his arms. It
opened with an Ingenious clasp at tho top. Dunne opened it, and when he
and Cox looked, they nearly fainted.
Within were layers on layers of greenbacks of all denominations, from $5
to $500. The policemen started to count.
They found just $11,000, and discovered that Kahler was as straight as mn
arrow.

O O'Brien the other day of watching her husband make counterfeit money
almost nightly for five months In their home. The husband. William C. Bush,

half dollars, two spurious half dollars
and one spurious nickel In the Bush
home.
Bush's home was searched by Police-
