Treasury Clerks Are Caged Like Camorrists

WASHINGTON When one looks on the picture of the Camorrists In their cage in Viterho, where they were being tried as instigators of crimes and members of criminal organizations, it comes right home to the clerks who work In the treasury department in Washington. Since the economy cranks got to .vork they have turned the old treasury department upside down. The secretary. 1 the treasury has a little walk of his own, a little elevator of his own and a driveway made through a portion
of the treasury plaza purposely for him. none of these to be used by the
common herd at all. All are protected
by gates of wrought-iron from invasion of the clerks or any of the assistants about the treasury department. Before the economy commission got in their licks there was a sort of placita In the heart of the treasury, the white stone walls being built up around it. When so many of the corridors and other rooms had to be taken up by private elevators, drive and runways for higher officials, this
placita was ßxed up as a sort of a glass house, and several hundred
clerks fired out into that. Of course.

NEW POT FOR TRANSPLANTING Made In Two Sections, Which Ar Easily Separated and Damage to Flowers Eliminated.
A simple and effective pot for flowers and shrubbery that requires transplanting has been patented by an Idaho man. Of course, it costs more than the ordinary pot, but that Is equalized
by the fact that it lasts much longer and damage to transplanted flowers is eliminated. This new pot consists of two parts of steel metal, with dovetailing hinge eyes. Rods run through the hinge eyes on both sides and hold

Alexander Bluffs Ajax In a Hymeneal
Mix-Up
ALEX Power and Ajax Tobey, two leading members of the colored back alley 400, who were related by marriage, inasmuch as Alex had led Ajax's sister to the hymeneal altar and promised to provide board atid lodging for the rest of her natural days, were arraigned before Judge Douglas of the police court on a number of charges ranging from "cussing" to "scrapping." The statement made by Alex was, that the lightning defter invaded his domicile and in the presence of his copper colored spouse had used langaugo of a very tabascoitic variety Alex further testified that he had picked up a stick of stove wood with which he persuaded Ajax to desist. Unlike his famous prototype, who defied the unseen, Ajax wilted when he saw that piece of timber in the muscular hands of the brawny Alexander, and beat It. He didn't take time to leave by the door, but jumped out of 7thu back room window, which, in his 'precipitate flight he did not stop to iopen. The result was disastrous to

THE DAIRY INDUSTRY EPITOMIZED. The National Dairy Show, having
arranged for a permanent homo in j
which to forward the Dairy Industry , in all of its branches, and recognizing . the cow as the foundation of all things i Dairy, Is undertaking to buiM an an- j nual Exposition that will not alone ; prove to be a school for the farmer, ' but an advocate of the highest type " for the more general and varied use , of the products of the Dairy. To do j this successfully we must first have ,
the attention and interest of the farmer and dairyman; next the support ( of the many interests allied with and 1 collateral branches of the Industry. With this thöught in mind, the management of the National Dairy Show desires to report progress made for the 1912 show to e held in Chicago, October 24 to November 2. We have assurances from the best breeders of the different breeds of cattle that they will be with us, and for purposes of competition we have arranged a very complete classification, and by obtaining tho very strongest talent for judges, who will be selected with the sole rjurpose in view of makings a rib
bon at this great National Show an ar-, tide of supreme value, settling the question of show yard supremacy each year after the herds have done battle in the fairs and shows in their respec-j tive territories. We will make this 1 show yard the mart for highest type j of selection and the place from where j all matters of breeding and feeding , will be demonstrated as a guide to ! the old-timer and new beginner. Here i . T 3 1
is what we will have lor you: juuge& of National and International repute to pass upon the cattle; a Govern
ment exhibit in charge of experts tnat will display breeds with record of test performance, the kind to own and the kind not to own ; the test of feeds
for results; the proper and improper methods of handling the products and marketing of same; civic sanitary and hygienic requirements will be illustrated and explained by experts of National prominence. We have prepared a splendid premium list for Dairy Products which will bring out a strong lot of contestants with milk and cream exhibits for honors; butter and cheese makers will enter their products for supremacy and everything that can be developed for the benefit of the visitors in direct connection with the cow will be shown.

Uncle Sam's Official Fish Guesser Is Let Out
THE ofilcial guesser for the United States government has lost his job. For years the government has bought live salmon upon, the good eye of a veteran fisherman, who took a squint at each fish and then put down in his hook what he guessed to be the
right weight. The bills were paid accordingly thousands of dollars. Every -oar the government buys from to 1.000 live salmon for hri'ied.tg from the weir owners on the Buckport, Verona, Orland and Penobgcot shores. The price paid is the Im&rket rate, from 20 to 35 cents a pound, with 60 cents bonus for each jflsh for the trouble of keeping them alive. To get at the exact weight of a live almon is practically impossible, for it is very delicate work at best in dipping them from the "pound" in tho welra to the "car." which is an old dory filled with water, carefully lined with cotton flannel and covered

Blackberries are started from sprouts and by root cuttings. After the raspberries are through fruiting, the old canes are taken out.
Old canes of all bramble berry bushes are best cut out when through fruiting. Dewberries and black raspberries are propagated in the same manner as blackberries. New varieties of strawberries, like all of our cultivated fruits, are produced from the seeds. While sandy soils are probably good for strawberries, any soil not too rich will bring good results. Prune a little every year rather than too muah in one year. It will be much easier for you and a great deal better for the orchard.
A moist soil, when kept in an unfrozen condition as long as possible, is the surest means to prevent winter killing of trees.
The holes for your new trees must be made larger and deep enough to receive the entire root sys'tem without crowding or cramping. Remember that the wood ashe' that come from the cook stove, firsplaces or furnace are the best kind of fertilizer for the orchard. As soon as the old canes of blaokberrles and raspberries are through fruiting, cut them out and burn them, thus destroying many insect and fungous pests.
