' _____ Nebraska Orchards Veritable Mines Tliis Year. Charles G. Humphrey, editor of the Verdon Vedette, was a caller at the office of the clerk of the supreme court, says a Lincoln correspondent of Ui« Omaha Bee. Mr. Humphrey is one of the many Nebraska men who are boosting Nebraska as the best ap pl state in the country, and as an evi dence of that fact bad with him a sample of the Ben Davis apple raised in Richardson county.

According to information received by Assistant Chief Clerk Charles A. Beach of the Lincoln division of the railway mail service. Rudolph H. Mil ler has made a written confession of stealing letters from the mail on his ‘ua between Aurora and Sargent. In 1 this, it is said, he admits having stolen letters during the last three • mow Ls. saying that he was in finan- ; oiaJ di:h( ulties and was tempted and ' fell Miller has been in the service for twenty three years and his repu tation Las always been of the best ; until hi* recent trouble. He was taken before the Cnited States com- ! t. twtoner at Grand Island and bound I over to the grand jury. Addition to Penitentiary.

Prison Board Wo-k. lb July. 1911. the indeterminate sentence and parcels post law was put into effect, and Secretary J. A. Piper has just completed a summary of the work of the state prison board up to October 1. 1912.

Of this number eighty-two paroles were granted, thirty nine applications were denied, and fifty-nine are still pending and being investigated by the board ior final action DEMAND FOR HEAVY HORSES CONTINUES GOOD AT ALMOST PROHIBITIVE PRICES Enormous Number of Auto-Trucks Not Crowding Animals Out of Business as Many Are Led to Believe—Number Increas ed From 13,000,000 to 21,000,000 in Decade. i-—-■■■ —-- .. ■=? ----- ~ - ~--■■■■■■ Profitable Animals on Any Farm. (By JOSEPH MONTGOMERY. Secretary of M'nnesota Stallion Registration Board.) Never in the history of the draft horse has the future appeared so promising to breeders as now. despite the statements of a leading speaker at the annual meeting of the State Veterinarians' association at Minne apolis that the automobile and auto truck were driving it out of busi ness. There is no reason, in the light of statistics, why the doom of the draft horse should be spelled by the auto. Though the enormous number of auto-trucks in the cities might lead one to believe that they were crowd ing the draft horse out of business, actual figures do not prove it. Sta tistics in the office of the Minnesota stallion registration board 6how that the number of sires used in this state for horse-breeding has increased from 3,544, May 1, 1910, to 4.445, May 1. 1912. During the ^ame period the number of registered draft sires has increased 35 per cent, there now be ing over 1.450 in Minnesota. This is an excellent guide to conditions of the industry in this state and through out the country. Never in the history of the Chicago and St. Louis markets, the two larg est ones in the United States, has the demand been so keen or the prices so high for high class horses of all sypes, especially the superior craft type. Statistics from the U. S. bureau of animal industry show that the number of horses in this country has increased from 13.500.tKM) to 21, 500,000 in the past decade. The value of all horses in this country has in creased from $45 to $115 in the same period. This has occurred despite the increase in the use of automo biles. First class draft horses have been almost prohibitive in price this year, because of the great demand for them, and a team of drafters has often sold as high as $500 to $1,000. The demand for high class saddle and carriage horses in the eastern cities has, been so great that their prices have been almost prohibitive to many who can afford automobiles. All this should be very encourag ing to persons in the United States interested in horse-breeding. When horses have increased at so rapid a rate the last two years, and prices PEKIN DUCKS ARE QUITE PROFITABLE My market ducklings are all raised i from White Pekin ducks, which have the range of a half acre, five ducks to one drake, says a writer in the Poul try Journal I use hens for mothers, setting the eggs about February 1. 1 sell them at ten weeks old, when they weigh from five to six pounds, and secure H to 1C cents a pound -live weight. When the ducklings are first hatched 1 keep them in small quar ters and feed about six times a day. giving mixed feed, a little cornmeal, cut clover and plenty of sand after the first week, about four times a day At six weeks 1 give them all they will eat of clean, mixed feed.corn meal. clover, with fresh meat from a rending place. I feed two quarts of meat, with plenty of sand, to 25 duck lings. The little fellows get fed every time they open their months, and be gin to walk around. When they are filled up they sit down and grow fat. My experience Is at eight or nine weeks to give them all they can eat. 1 also feed green stuff as soon as it grows. The bulk of my feed the last week is meat and sand; all the meat they will eat. The man 1 sell to says my ducks beat all he sees; the meat is what does the work. Grain can't touch It. Pure water is essential in j duck raising, and good yards, moved often in warm weather, as they are ' apt to sour. I feed all the sand I can mix in, keeping the ducklings qniet, and do not allow much exercise. All my ducks are sold live weight; It is just as profitable as the other way. and less trouble to handle them in that manner. Lettuce That Resists Disease. If the earlier reports are to be reli^j upon, the experts in greenhouse cul ture at Washington have discovered something of value in connection with hothouse lettuce. By crossing seeds of healthy winter lettuce with varie ties related to the wild lettuce and se lecting the results with care, it is al leged that a variety has been secured which is practtcally free from disease and which yet has lost nothing of the finer qualities of the highly bred va -ieiies of lettuce commonly grown in greenhouses. A lettuce which is not liable to mildew, rot, etc., would cer tainly be a prize for the lettuce spe cialties. It is stated that the seed will be furnished to the greenhouse men by the department of agriculture, and that great results are expected. Crop Rotation. Crop rotation means simply the classification of crops according to their habits of growth and methods of cultivation and systematic and reg ular change in the order of growth have kept soaring in spite of the in-, crease, there is no reason to believe that the automobile will ever drive : them out of business. Instead of the automobile causing a scarcity of : horses, it would be more reasonable \ to say that the scarcity of horses has caused the temporary advent of the automobile and auto-truck. Farmers in Minnesota need not fear to grow more horses. If they are large, sound, and serviceable, they wiil always demand the highest prices. The horse industry is found ed on a permanent basis, and has no reason to conflict with the automobile j industry in any way. KEEPING POULTRY FREE FROM LICE Recipe for Making Ointment Rec ommended by Prof. Graham —Also Kills Fleas. What many breeders consider bet ter than powder for killing lice and mites is an ointment recommended by Professor W. R. Graham of Guelph. Canada, one who has made a life study of poultry in the Domin ion. It is composed as follows: Mercury, 50 parts: lard. 25 parts; beef suet, 23 parts; oleate of mercury, 2 parts. The suet, if bought from the butcher, will have to be rendered over a fire and poured into the lard while it is warm, and then stir in the mercury and oleate of mercury. Use a table knife or spoon to do the stirring. Do not put hands into it. Should it prove too stiff to easily apply as an ointment, thin with a little cotton seed oiL All ingredi ents should be weighed rather than measured. Put it away in small vas eline bottles or boxes well covered, and it will keep for months. This ointment will rid polutry of head lice and Texas fleas. For other mites and lice rub it in well about the fluff below the vent and under the wings. It wiil not only kill the live vermin, but destroy the nits as well. It is a valuable thing for turkey rais ers to use on the old and the young. TO RESTORE FAMOUS CHURCH Boston’s Revolutionary Landmark Is Taking an Odd Ap pearance. Boston.—From the chaos of loose bricks and unplastered panels, Christ church (better known as the Old North church of the school histories) is re-emerging in something closely resembling its original guise. Restora tion it at best a difficult and often thankless task, but fortunately this process at Christ church was in part simplified by certain authentic records of the building's earlier history. The first conspicuous change is in the building's exterior. During the last summer the walls have been sand blasted. ridding them of the drab paint which has darkened them for years, and revealing the brick in a warm, rich tone, which will weather to a still more mellow red. The front doors of the church, which were with out doubt not original, have been re moved and a new pair, the lower panels of which have been giTen the F-*-m Old North Church. diamond or triangular shape, has been substituted. Above them is a fan light with leaded panes of glass. With the walis freshened to a glowing red and the spire and window frames trimmed with white paint, the church wears probably more nearly its orig inal look than it has within the mem ory of any living person. The pew plan of the church was fortunately extant, and it was possi ble from the paneling which remain ed to reconstruct the pew arrange ment in virtually the original form This has been carried out. using as much of the original paneling and as many of the old doors as remained, and making the new a faithful repro duction of the old. The pews as thus rebuilt are of the long, “slip" shape, and nearly uniform size, except those set apart for the notables—the gov ernor's pew (which has. by the way. been made the graceful occasion of a generous gift from Governor Foss >. and “the Pew for the Gentlemen of the Bay of Honduras." a group of merchants who gave, in the early days, the money for the spire. During the turmoil of restoration the bust of Washington has been re moved from the marble niche, but will be replaced, not for any special merit as a work of art which it may pos sess. but for long association and for its unique position as being the first public manument erected to Wash ington in America. Its date is 1S15. The walls, which were previously blank, save for frescoes, will be di versified by an array of appropriate tablets: one in hiemory of the first offi cers of the church, bearing the date April 1724: one in memory of Maj John Pitcairn; one in memory of the Rev. Timothy Cutler: one in memory of the Rev. Mather Byles. the last minister before the revolution; one in memory of Capt. Thomas James Gruchy, commander of the privateer Queen of Hungary, who gave the cherubim which ornament the front of the organ: and one to the memory of Capt. Cyprian Southack, who gave the belfry clock in use before the rev olution. GOLF BALL KILLED A BIRO And It Kept on Its Way Toward Hole Without Even a Swerve at Coun try Club Links. . Boston.—A strange freak of golf was witnessed on the Brae Burn Country club links a few days ago. when a ball driven from & tee killed a sparrow and then continued true in its flight. The incident was wit nessed by a number of golfers. The marksman was Joseph Gould. He was driving from the seventh tee. Mr. Gould got off a good drive and the ball soared high. The bird was flying in the same direction and swerved just a trifle, apparently when It heard the buzz of the golf ball com ing behind. It is common knowledge that a golf ball is no mean projectile, and in'this case the bird was instantly killed and fell, a crumpled heap of feathers, as though it had received a charge of ?hot. The ball was hardly checked in its flight and landed on the green not far from the hole. DESERTS ARMY TO MARRY Fort Meade Soldier Comes to Chicago. Then Surrenders When He Is Down and Out.

D., to marry a South Dakota girl. They went to Lakeville, ni.. and two weeks ago Wilson came to Chicago to get work. He said he had not found work and “was down and out.” Soon after he surrendered his wife arrived in Chicago. She passed the night in the annex of the station.
