PASSING OF GREAT ATHLETE
Long-Buried Bucket of Gold Dug Up in Phoenix
PHOENIX, AW. - Guided by a map and directions given by the man who
buried It deep underground many years ago, a local business man, assisted
by two Moxlcan laborers, unearthed a bucket said to havo contained between
$1,000 and $5,000 In gold. Tho digging
of tho treasuro is vouched for by re
liable witnesses.
Armed with pick and shovel, and
n dipping needle, the men made their
appearance at the point where tho Ari
zona Eastern track crosses Ninth ave
nue. Proceeding west along tho right
of way they finally camo to a stop at
a point approximately 150 feet from
tho crossing, where, after a careful ex
amination by means of tho needle, thoy
began to dig. Passersby, interested in
knowing why they were making an excavation that rapidly assumed propor
tions, wero given evasive answers, and after tho holo had attained a depth
of eight feet wero given to understand that thoy wero not needed. Boys,
playing In the vicinity, wero ordered away after ono of tho Mexicans had
uncovered an old buckot, which appeared to bo heavy, and which was
hoisted out of the holo with some difficulty. An automobile, which had
apparently been waiting In tho vicinity, drove up, and without waiting to fill
tho excavation tho men drove away.
A number of people visited the excavation, which they found to bo nlno
feet In depth. Tholr examination justified tho belief that the men had located
an old well, which many years ago was filled up, and that the treasuro, or
whatovor It was they secured, had been concealed thero in the early days
of tho city. Then a young Mexican In the neighborhood, who was a mem
ber of the party, and who evidently know more about tho affair than ho cared
to tell, returned with the two men who dug the hole and had it refilled.
Whether the treasuro was cached in the old well after a big robbery, or
whether it had been hidden thero by an old prospector, are among tho ques
tions being debated. One story has it that tho money was tho property of
an old and crippled prospector, who had been taken in and cared for at tho
.homo of a Mexican in that vicinity, and that as a reward for their kindness
he directed them to the place hero he had, years beforo, hidden his fortune.

tho owners of tho dogs objected, and

switch, and at La Salle street and at Fifth avenue and at Franklin street.
At Franklin .street thero was a switch south. Tho car took tho curve
and sped on south to Randolph street. A long string of cars was in its wako.
Old C042, In a phico it hod neur been beforo, remained cool and unpor

Tho passengors, who had been wondering what was what, breathed sighs

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Rotation or alternation of crops is a
simple and efficient method of getting
ride of the "curlew bug," a widespread
pest in corn and rice fields. "Don't
plant corn after corn or rice, or rice
after corn" is a useful maxim to re
member In localities lnfestod by the
bug.
The curlew bug, which is one of the
so-culled "Snout Beetles" or curcullos,
about halt an inch long, is particularly
fond of swamps and marshes where it
feeds on large-stemmed grasses and
sedges. Of cultivated crops, corn and
rlco most closely resemblo Its natural
food and in consequence the bug is a
menace to these crops in almost every
stato in the South and In large sec
tions of tho middle West and South
west as well. It cannot live on the
small grains or on such plants as cot
ton or cowpeas. In consequence if
Infested fields are planted to oats, rye,
barley, cotton or cowpeas, the curlew
bug disappears at once.
In practice, cotton, cowpeas, or win-
tor oats will probably bo the oest
crops to ubo for this purpose in tho
South. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mis
souri, southern Wisconsin and Arkan
sas, oats, rye, barley or cowpeas. After
a year of one of theso crops, tho field
can bo planted again to corn. If tho
pest returns, a similar alternation
should be resorted to ouce more.
Tho curlew bug will remain in an
infested cornfield throughout tho win
ter nnd, if the field is planted to corn
again, como out in tho spring to feed
upon tho young corn plants. By means
of Its long snout, at tho end of which
aro situated the mouth and Jaws, tho
beetlo punctures the stem of the plant
and thus either secures Its food or
deposits Its eggs. Usually tho punc
turo is mado a little below tho sur
face of tho ground and extends Into
the crown of the plant. If the punc
ture Is mado just above the root, the
plant will throw up a number of "til
lers" and "suckerB," while the main
stem itself will be without ears and
stalky in appearance In this respect
tho work of tho curlew bug produces
somewhat tho same effect as that of
tho Hessian fly on a young wheat
plant in tho fall. If tho puncture Is
mado higher up on the stem, food Is
obtained from the folded loaves above
tho crown. When these leav.es finally
push forth, tho effect of the puncture
made by the beetle's snout Is re'vealed
by rows of holes across tho leaves.
Frequently there will also bo a dis
torted growth on the stem.
While the damage dono by the bee
ties in feeding or laying their eggs is
in many cases doubtless severe if
tho corn plants are very young at tho
time of attack thoy aro probably de
stroyed In this way generally speak
ing tho greatest damago 1b caused by
the larvae hatching from the eggs, es
pecially in tho East. Tho grubs of
this Insect apparently can llvo without
difficulty for a considerable length
of tlmo In the stems of plants that aro
completely covered by water.
With theso Insects In full possession
of a Held, thero does not appear to be
any thoroughly practical and effective
measure for preventing or overcoming
their ravages, which frequently result
In a total loss of tho crop. Whllo
throwing up tho soil or hilling up the
young plants with tho cultivator might
prevent the beetles thomselves from
puncturing the stems low enough down
to causo tho plants to sucker or be
como distorted, this is by no means
assured. We only know that the high
er up tho insect punctures tho stem
the more likely Is the attack to rosult
only in tho transvorso rows of holes
across tho leaves. In any case this
ridging or hilling up would only form
a slight protection against tho injuri
ous effects of tho feeding of tho bee
tles. Once the larvao havo started to
burrow their way downward in the
stem thero Ib no way whereby thoy
can be reached by any measure likely
to seriously affect thom.

CALF DURING FIRST SUMMER
Most Important Period of Animal's
Life With Respect to Its Growth
Use Clean Milk Palls.
(By R, M. WASHBURN. Minnesota Ex
periment Station.)
Tho first year of a calf's life Is the
most important with respect to its
growth. Unless animals are kept
growing during this period their final
development will be much retarded,
and the chances are they never will
reach the scale which their inheri
tance would give them.
On the best regulated dairy farms
calves aro born in the autumn and
early winter, and they should receive
skim milk in moderate quantities
through much or all ofthe summer fol
lowing birth. On farms having Jiand
separators there is no difficulty M pro
viding tho sweet milk for calves, morn
ing and evening; but farmers who pat
ronize whole-milk creameries or who
still skim by hand should remember
that after the first few weeks milk for
calves should either be thoroughly
weot or fully sour, that the most dan
gerous condition Is the half-sour stage.
If milk Is fed to calves when it is in
this changing condition it is nlmost
certain to cause indigestion. It should
not bo half-sour, nor sour ono day and
sweet tho next, But always one or the
other.
Clean feeding palls must be used,
otherwise the germs of fermentation
and diarrhea will be brought to the
Infant cow from tho slime of the dirty
drinking dish, and with young calves
it is important that tho temperature
at which tho milk is fed be nearly that
of tho body. Older animals may re
ceive milk of the temperature of tho
milk-holding tank.
While it is very important that heif
ers should havo free access to pas
ture during tho second summer, to de
velop strong bodies, the calf need not
have pasture the first summer. In
fact, for calves bom after tho first of
tho year, pasturing may be a disadvan
tage. Most young calves in this coun
try are better ofT chewing tender hay
in the quiet and half-dark stablo than
fighting flies, panting from tho heA
and cropping tough grass In the pa
ture.
TEACHING CALVES TO DRINK
Ltttle Fellows Can Easily Be Taught
to Help Themselves by Giving
Warm Milk In Pail.
Calves should bo removed from the
mother within a day or two. Somo
advocato never allowing them to suck,
others let thom suck once, then re
move them. Whichever way Is done,
tho calf can easily be taught to drink
by fastonlng it In a rigid stanchion and
giving It thp warm new milk In a
clean pail.
Feed sparingly at first, one nnd a
half to two quarts of milk, morning,
noon and night, for tno first week,
then drop the noon feed nnd Increase
others up to four quarts oX feed night
and morning.
Change gradually from whole milk
to skim milk. Feed all milk warm
and sweet.
Use a dairy thermometer and warm
to 90 or 95 degrees.
Pleasure and Profit.
Thero nro man? localities where or
chards exist but where fruit produc
tion Is not equal to the home con

caro will enablo them to do so. j
