War Is Started When Elopers Cheat Gypsy "Dad"
INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Tho elopo
ment and probable marriage of Ellz
nbeth Mitchell, prottloat daughter of
Harry Mitchell, head of the camp of
gypuios wintering near tho state fair
grounds, and Mitchell Stevens, "sport
and high flier" of the camp, has
thrown the trlbo Into a ferment that
promises disruption. The gypsies
called on Captain Holtz of tho dotec
tlvo department the other, day In a
vain endeavor o learn something of
the whereabouts of the missing couple.
A warrant for the arrost of Stevens
has been issued.
A flst light between the brother of
tho accused youth and the father of
the missing girl was narrowly avert
ed In the detectives' offices.
The gypsy customs relating to mar
riage have been grossly violated and
the younger members of tho camp
threaten to rebel and establish an in
dividual camp. According to tho gyp
sy law $1,000 1b none too small an
amount for the beauty of the camp,
so Harry Mitchell, the father, was
much chagrined. Stevens, the "Amer
icanized" lad, who disappeared with
Mitchell's daughter, without the pay

was the command Paul Turner,
saloonkeeper, Western and Ogden
avenues, received.
It wasn't Turner's doctor that Issued
the order, but a couple of young men
who wero overparticular regarding
the manufacture of gin fizzes they
had ordered.
Turner's tongue stuck tight to tho
roof of his mouth when tho demand
was backed up by two magazine guns
in the hands of tho fastidious young
drinkers. Then Turner's tongue pro
truded from his mouth In amazement.
"Stick it further out," camo the de
mand in quick, insistent tones, "and
keep it out or you'll get this" this
being a wave of one of tho guns.
Turner's tongue stuck out liko
that of a dog on a hot day. His eyes
also stuck far out from their accus
tomed place when one of tho young
men walked behind the bar and ap
propriated all of tho money in tho
cash register and then took a roll of
bills from his pocket.
"You look warm." said one of the
men to Turner. "You had better step
in here and cool off." With that they
escorted him to the ice box, thrust
liim in and locked the door.
It was the latest thing in hold-ups.
Thoro was no "hold up your hands"
in It. The youthful robbers proceed

(GetoutO x-X
NEW YORK. A war on rats on a

mow being planned hero In an effort
to make this tho country's first rat

which, aside from their Inroads on
tho health of the city, cause through
their depredations property losses
which are estimated at moro than
$5,000,000 yearly.
While this city has long realized
the need of a Pled Piper, the rats un
til now havo been little molested, so
that experts now declare that tho
local rat population Is the largest in
tho country. It Is of course Impos
sible to estimate the number of ro

city harbors at least 10,000,000 of
them.
Curiously enough tho war on rats Is
not to be undertaken by the city au

It was all tho fault of the City Hall
clock, honest to goodness It was.
That clock deceived and betrayed
hubby about the lateness of tho hour.
Of course, his excuse sounded ridicu

once.
As a clock proper, that timekeeper
over our legislative halls Is eminently
respectable and reliable. It Is only
when it entors tho declamatory field
that bitter things aro said regarding
its Integrity.
After It deceived tho populaco with
great Irregularity, it becomes good
nnd behaves for a short tlmo beforo
again falling into error. That Is Just
what that erratic old timepiece did
the other day.
Three weeks ago, after this clock
struck thirteen, when It should havo
Btruck one, It waB Investigated and ad
monished to behave better in tho fu
ture. Until early tho other morning
it obeyed and it proclaimed ttjo proper

Stevens, tho "upstart" has a worthy
champion, howevor, in his brother,
Alonzo Stevens, big, husky, broad
shouldered and second only to Mit

camp. Stevens stoutly defends his
brother Mitchell, defying the wrath of
Harry Mitchell, the nominal hoad of
tho camp by vlrtuo of his wealth and
his ten daughters, all of whom are
exports at fortune telling. Tho men
thrashed out their differences beforo
Captain Holtz.
"You owa da tousand dol," yelled
Mitchell, shaking his flst at the de
fender of tho namo of Stevens, whoso
young brother had broken all-the tra

Stovons merely shrugged his shoul

"How do you know they aro mar

married."
The old head of tho camp was
stumped. He does not know whero
tho couple Is, but said he was sure
thoy aro married.
According to tho gypsies story the
younger Stevens carefully planned to
swindle the old man, requesting a con
tract sworn to beforo a notary, for
the sale of the daughter for $1,000

that under the laws of tho state, which
forbid tho "sale" of a woman, the con

as tho "twist" Is on the lip the horse
thinks of nothing else.
As long as Turner's tongue was
hanging out he could not call for help
and neither could he think of any
other way of thwarting tho designs
of the robbers.

when thoy are they will undoubtedly
be aided by merchants, hotel men,
keepers of restaurants, owners of
buildings and store keepers who suf

affairs now existing one downtown
restaurateur states that the rats cost

overrun at night with rats that it is
necessary to turn loose tho largest
possible number of their natural ene

to make oxtenslve use of ferrets, since

WHAT TO PLANT AND WHEN
Advice by an Expert on Agricultural
Matters Raising Poultry and Fruit
Rotation of Crops Ridding'
Lawn of Pests.
Sy PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE.
When other things aro equal, prob
ably tho safost form of ngrlculturo for
tho Inexperienced city man to tako up
Is a combination ot poultry nud fruit.
Tho logic back of this choice Is sim
ple, and, wo bollovo, sound.
Chickens will thrlvo nud produce
profitably undor proper management
In every Bectlon of this country. Thoy
are hardy and stand nbuso well, while
the amateur Is learning tho ropes.
Small capital Is required to mako n
start, and they multiply rapidly In
fact, a shrewd old Yankeo, "down In
Maine," Is credited with starting a
successful poultry farm by borrowing
a setting hen from ono neighbor and a
setting of eggs from nnothor. After
tho chicks wero hatched ho kept tho
hen until she had laid a sotting of
eggs nnd then returned both, thereby
discharging his debts without ex
ponsc. Any sort of well drained land will
do for chickens. About all ono man
can look after profitably Is 1,000 hens
and their offspring, and ho can count
on a dollar profit por hen each year.
In small flocks tho profits often run
much higher per hen. Housing 1,000
hens In colony houses holding 100
hens to tho pen will cost from $2,500
to $5,000, depending upon the material
and tho location.
Dy scattering thoso houses over a
ten aero tract of land thoro will bo no
need of Inside fences nnd tho flocks
will keep separate. Dy planting this
ten acres of good apples, provided It
is located in an applo growing region,
and handling same according to com
mercial orchard methods, ono can
mako tho land do doublo duty. It Is
known now that proper location and
handling will secure a crop ot apples
ovory year. The secret is this:
1 Spray trees properly.
2 Prune trees properly.
3 Keep tho ground cultivated all
summer.
4 Pinch off all but one of the green
npples from 'each fruit spur as soon
as they set.
5 Uso heaters during late frost.
The third item keeps tho wnter In
the soil, and tho apples stay on the
tree3 Instead of blowing off. The
fourth rule Is ono of tho most Im
portant, as It evens up tho strain on
tho tree and while the yearly crop will
be smaller than tho natural crop one
year and larger the. next, It will cost
lessto handlo and the fruit will bo
much better In form, size and color,
and It will bring In more money.
Such un orchard will bring In from
$300 to $C00 a year per acre, and tho
coBt of handling will not exceed $75.
It will take from six to ten years to
bear profitably. Sot tho trocs out In
50 foot squares, Between them set
dwarf fruit trees in 50 foot squares.
Tho dwarfs will bear quickly and aro
to be taken out when tho largo trees
bear. Tho ground under and betweon
tho trees should bo planted to a rota
tion of hoed crops, like potatoes, corn,
root crops, garden crops, etc.
Succession of Garden Crops.
Our springtime enthusiasm starts
the garden off In great shape and we
plant some radishes and lcttuco and
pea3. Later on we find time to plant
corn, cucumbers and tomatoes. The
class of vegetables which may go Into
tho ground very early Is likewise har
vested very early. There Is a big gap
betweon this early harvest and tho
tlmo ot green corn and red tomatoes,
yet wo havo to work Just as hard dur
ing this hungry period as If wo wero
gottinc a bounteous yield.
Why not plan tho varieties of vege
tables and their planting tlmo so as
to secure a continuous nnd ample sup
ply of good, fresh green things? It's
Just as easy aB any other method of
garden management, and it's much
moro satisfactory. Instead of having
only half of your garden working after
the early vegetables arc gone, plan to
put In other crops on tho same ground
bo that tho succession will be almost
unbroken
Tho systematic rotation of farm
crops Is an absolute necessity, in or
der to secure maximum yields, and to
keep down pests, Various crops have
entirely different effects on tho soil,
pome taking moro of ono elomont, oth
ers feeding heavily on another. The
legumes, such as clover and alfalfa,
are heavy feeders, but thoy possess
tho peculiar faculty of transferring ni
trogen from tho air to the soil, and
this makes them our most valuable
class of plants, without question, Gar
den peas and beans belong to this
family. j
Potatoes and root crops, on tho
other hand, add nothing and uso up
a very great amount of plant food.
Other plants vary in proportion and
It is necessary to mako frequent
changes of tho location of a crop in
order to avoid using up all of any
ono element of plant food.
The problem ot diseases und pests
Is a serious ono, particularly In tho
east. After a certain related class of
plants, like potatoes and tomatoes,
havo been grown on tho samo land for
a couplo of seasons, It becomes In
fected with their enemies and tho only
way to get rid of thorn Is to starvo
them out by using tho land for a dif
ferent class of plants, such as tho
various cucurbits cucumbers, pump
kins, squash, gourds and melons.
It Is Impossible to lay down any set
"y In which to nchlovo tho best ro
tflts. Wo all havo different Ideas and
astcs and this department must bo
ttaitaned with calling attention to
rather general principles, leaving all
details to bo worked out by tho In
dividual. Ground which has boon used for
tho early cropti can then be planted
to lato corn or cucumbers. Dy train-
lng tomatoes nnd cucumbers on sup
ports, n much smaller amount of
ground will produce tho crop. Many
combinations can bo worked out to
fit your parMculnrscrdlis1 and tho main
result to be achieved Is to keep all
of your garden working all of tho
tlmo,
Movo the crops around from year
to year so as to glvo tho soil a chance
to recuperate Whero a number of
successive plantings nro doslrabloj-aa
with pens, It Is nn excellent plan to
plant n third or fourth crop between
tho rowB of tho first crop as soon as
the peas havo been picked.
Lawn Pests.
Prompt action and thorough, Intelli
gent treatment Is necossary to kill
lawn pests and rid your sod ot theso
undesirable occupants.
Tho dandelion Is tho most notorious
of our lawn pests. The first fow days
of warm growing weather will bring
out Its glowing blossoms and no hard
winter seems to diminish Its optimism
or energy. There will bo moro of
them than last year. Thoro always
aro. Tho richer tho soil and tho flnor
tho place, tho more dandelions hero
will be.
Unllko other weeds, which can bo
crowdod out by heavily feeding th?
grass, tho dandollon responds to such
treatrnont even moro nobly than does
tho grass. It ifl directly comparable
to somo of our public servants, whoso
extraordinary abilities could be pro
ductive of so much good If applied In
tho proper direction.
True, tho dandollon servos tho pur
poso of calling many householders out
of doors into tho healing sp'ring sun
shine, who would otherwise stay in
doors. Its first blossoms bring real
Joy to the small boy and salad to the
railroad section hand, but tho man
with tho lawn mower loves It not.
Awny with it. Wo can banish It If wo
will.
Tho best method of eradicating dan
delions from sod Is to keep tho grnss
cut closely during the dandollon sea
son, remove it and burn It, and spray
the lawn every ten dayB or oftonor
with a solution of copperas, or sul
phate of iron, as it is moro properly
called. This costs about threo cents
a pound and can be secured from
druggists or seed Btorcs. Dissolve
three-quarters of a pound In n gallon
of water and spray the dandelion
plants thoroughly. An ordinary sprin
kling can will get results, but It is
much better to uso n sprayer that
throws a vory fine mlst-llko spray.
Uso It whllo tho sun Is shining on the
plants.
It will get practically all of the dan
delion leaves and blossoms. No dam
age will be done to tho glass, nsldo
from blackening tho tips.
Digging dandelions out Is practical
ly Impossible, but this spraying
scheme Is very effective.
Plantains and other weeds must bo
pulled and burnod boforo they blos
som. Ants nre best destroyed by pouring
a little carbon bisulphide In each hole
and covering It with earth so that tho
fumes cannot escape
Tho best way to kill moles Is with
special mole traps.
Anglo worms aro beneficial to a
lawn unless present in great numbers.
Carbon blsulphldo will kill them, too.
Cut worms nro destroyed by soaking
tho Infected area with a solution of
arsenate of lead, ono pound to a bar
rel of wator. Their presence is indi
cated by patches of dead grass. Tho
little white worms will bo found
among the grass roots.
Legumes Add Nitrogen.
At tho Rhode Island Btatlon n five
year pot experiment with different
legumes was conducted to ascertain
the amount of nitrogen secured from
the air during 'the growth of tho
legumes In a light, gravelly soil,
without the addition of nitrogenous
manure, but with optimum amounts of
other manures. It was found that
tho approximate gain during five
years with cowpeas and soy beans
and with vetch, which was grown al
ternately with each, was a ton of nit
rogen per acre, about soven-tenthB of
which was contained In tho 25 tons
of moisture-free summer crops re
moved, and the remainder In tho soil
itself. Tho following facts should bo
taken Into consideration: Tho soil In
tho pots was 10 Inches deep, some
what deeper than tho surface soil in
many localities; the winter vetch wae
grown In a heated greenhouse.
Improper "liking.
Tho futuro of ni'.ny a promising
cow has been ruined by Improper milk
ing soon after calving. The dairy cow
bus been abnormally developed to
produce large quantities of milk, con
sequently certain of her organs, such
as tho mammary glands, havo be
come greatly enlarged nnd weakened
just beforo and after calving, duo
probably to the snvetlng of large
quantities of milk. Tho art, or
science, whlchover wo may call It, of
milking may bo attained by only thoso
who are willing to make . study of
each individual cow, of her disposi
tion, dulry temperament and physical
condition.

An excellent catch phraso for the

Tho English burglar Is fond of a
talisman and pins his faith to a lump

Third, tho cooler you keep the flowers
tho longer thoy will last, it you nro

or have to go out for tho afternooti, do
not leavo them In tho living-room, for
thoy nro not used to such n tempera
