The Vanishing Trick.
Into the grocer" shop walked an an
cient lady with a elow and halting
tread and carrying on her arm a bas
ket containing a large earthenware pot
with a lid. Placing the basket on the
counter, she made various purchases,
which she put carefully In the pot and
had her bill made out
"By the way," she said before paying
this, "do yon mlud keeping this pot
with tho purchases In it until I come
back and pay for them, as I have to
buy other things some distance off,
and It will be more convenient for me
to leave the things here till later?"
This request was willingly acceded
to, and, lifting the pot carefully out
of the basket, the old dame placed It
with an effort, In a corner; then, plac
ing her-basket on her arm, left the
shop. Hours went by, day ripened
luto evening, and evening gave way
to night, but the old woman did not
return. At last the proprietor thought
of examining the earthenware pot to
see If by any chance It had Its owner's
address upon It, and great was his as
tonishment, not untlnged with dis
may, to find that It possessed no bot

Most people believe that witchcraft
among civilized people ended when the
"Salem witch mania" ran its course
and died out In the year 1692. It did
as far as America is concerned, except
among savages, but In other countries
the belief in the superstition did not
die until a mnch later date, even If It
can be truly suld to be dead now. In
France an old beggar was tortured to
death as late as 1807 on the charge of
being one who "communed with evil
spirits," and In Spain a witch was
burned In 1808. In 1850 In France a
man and his wife tortured a suspected
witch to death, and nothing at all was!
done with them by the criminal courts
on account of the lingering belief In
sorcery. Four years later a witch was
drowned In England, and In 1800 one
was burned in Mexico. In 1874, 1879,
1880 and again in 1889 witches were
publicly burned In Russia, and even
as late as 1890 regular judicial trials
of witches were had In Prussia, Po
land and Austria-Hungary.

TOMATOES IN THE80UTH.

With Bordeaas aflxtmre.
Mississippi supports three state ex
periment stations. Her horticultural
station Is at McNeill, In extreme south
ern Mississippi. E. B. Ferris has re
cently made a valuable report on to
mato culture. He says:
"Tomatoes have been gaown here
every year since 1903, but never suc
cessfully from a commercial stand
point, because the first and highest
priced tomatoes always rotted. In 1905
these tomatoes were sprayed with bor
deaux mixture, and it effected a won
derful Improvement It seems evident
that if tbey bad been sprayed earlier
and oftener there would bavs been
scarcely any rotten ones at all. To
matoes ought to be a very profitable
crop for these soils If they could be
grown of first quality, for unlike many
other vegetables an exceedingly , rich
soli Is not so essential to success la
growing them.
"The statiou bought a small canning
outfit In the spring and at very little
expense, either In the original cost of
the machinery or In the labor required1
to put up fruit makes use of all
peaches and tomatoes that are par
tially faulty or that come too late to
be shipped at a profit All such canned
goods may be sold locally at the high
est market prices. The station will
plant another year a considerably In
creased acreage In tomatoes, feeling
convinced that with two or mors ap
plications of bordeaux mixture the rot
ting of the blossom end of the tomato
may be effectually controlled.''
Cera Well DUplartd,
In selecting corn for exhibit at a
State or local fair farmers should take
only perfect and uniform ears. Fre
quently corn Is ruined for exhibition
purposes by being bandied carelessly.
One of the neatest ways of showing
small lots of corn that we bars seen Is
shown above- This was a first prise
lot grown, selected and put up by J. L.
Keckly of OHIO. Here Is a hint for
farmers In general and the suggestion
may proie helpful. The busks are
turned back and tied as represented in
tbe picture, says American Agricultur
ist
Presewlna Seei Cera.
The seed corn selected should be
placed In a dry, well ventilated room
where tbe ears can be spread out
Tbey should not be plied In a heap, as
It Is Important to expose them to a
free circulation of air, so that they will
dry quickly and thoroughly without
molding. It Is a good practice, often
followed, to leave a few busks attach
ed to each ear, so that the ears may be
tied together In pairs by means of the
busks and then hung over poles or
wires In tbe upper part of tbe room.
If convenient racks -can be made like
bookcases, with slat shelves about foui
or five Inches apart and open backs
and fronts. In which the ears can be
arranged until thoroughly dried. Only
one row of ears should be placed on
each shelf. This method allows the
preservation of a large amount of seed
corn in a small spa.ee. United Statj
