POOR LANDS MAKE GOOD.
Principal Question li One of How to
Farm a Soil.
flermany linn discovered a "sort of
bacteriological growth which excel
the nitrogen producing kind our De
partment of AKrlrultur hai applied
to tilitnt life an resultfiilly, It costs
less and Krowi faster. The news calls
attention again to a rather, notable
feature of modern farming. Paradoxi
cal an It may seem, the poorest land
Is, In aome section, becoming tho
most valuable,
Hnndy soil la adnpted to frulla and
vegetables, and these are crop which
ll at Mich price. Handy land la
tiaually Ililu and poor. Suitable fer
tilising and cropping with pea and
clover, ptanla peculiarly benefited hy
nitrogen bacteria, result In these light
Hands quickly becoming productive.
Hence tho paradox that the poorest
land sometimes give tho lariat
money return.
In pari of New Jersey and In moat
of tli 11 Delaware, Maryland and Vlr
Klnla peninsula the aandy lonma worn
for a long period regarded aa bad
property. Toilay there are farmer
and truckers on tlw Innda who
make II00, even aa high aa ftOQ
ait acre In a single acaaon. Tho
Nona are not regular, to be euro, but
the average la remarkably high when
traniiportatlon la available, Canta
loupea, alrawberrlea, aweet potatoes,
M'n, onlona and early rabbago are
among the products which give ex
traordinary returna. Philadelphia
share with New York tho privilege
of marketing the rropa, and far ex
r"da New York In applying thla pro
ductive buHlneag wl.h the gooda the
money no earned buya for family
ue. Since there la nothing to Indl
rata that the product of these loama
will Iraaen In quantity or value, and
since they have a oertalo monopoly
of early rrH for quick marketing,
the wealth coming from tho poor
landa la likely to prove an Important
factor In the enlargement of the clty'a
busliwsa Philadelphia ledger.
Tht Bull.
No man can afford to head hla herd
with a arrub bull. The blood la an
Important Item, though not the whole
thing. Granted that you eeo the ad
vlnablllty of a pure-bred aire, the
next question la how to care for him.
If you paid f ton to $300 for a bull you
naturally want to give him auch care
aa to keep hlrn In hla prime aa long
aa noealble. It la beat to have a atall
or ahed for a bull where he will be
aeparated from the herd, (live Mm
yard large enough ao that the confine
ment will not be tew aevere, and be
aure to have hla yard aurrounded by
a. bull fence. It I aa Important to
Veep people out of the hull pen aa It
la to keep the bull In. If poaalble, It
la an excellent thing to give him a
pasture If you can turn him out with
out having him run with the milkers.
Often there la a pasture for the calves
or young atock that can 1 used.
Keep htm In good condition, but do
not keep him fat enough for the
show ring all the year round. It
doean't pay. Alwaya give blm kind
treatment, but do not let him become
familiar with you.
For Keeping Humus In Soil.
The Nebraska Experiment Station
defines their ayatem of rotation for
tho keeping of the humus supply In
the soil aa followa: "Corn la grown
two years. The third year the land
Is thoroughly disked early In the
spring and sown to oats; The oat
crop Is removed from the land and
stacked as soon after harvest aa pos
sible. If tho ground Is sufficiently
wet It Is plowed at once. If very dry
or cloddy the fond Is double disked.
Thrice If necessary ,and then plowed
deeply. Disking the land not only
prevents a further loss of the water
by evaporation, but It alo fines the
surface so that fine earth Is turned
under at the bottom of the furrow
slice, Instead of clods and chunks.
The plow Is followed on the same
day with tho dlHk or subsurface pack
tr, In order to thoroughly fill up all
open spaces In the subsurface. The
common drag harrow follows these
tools to work the surface down Into
shape, After every rnln the land Is
harrowed, a soon as It Is fit to
work. In order to brenk up any crust
that may form and by keeping a loose
surface prevent the loss of moisture
by evaporation."
' To Check Swarming. '
If tho bees did not perslnt in divid
ing their forces so frequently, much
more surplus honey could bo obtained.
Tho bee-keeper would feel more easy
about his bees. In producing comb
honey In one-pound loxes, It la nec
essary to crowd tho bees into the sec
tion boxes, for they seem loath to
begin work In such small dlvlsona,
and this, crowding is one of the In-
areful of Your Property

centlves which creates tho swarming
fever, When producing extracted hon
ey, abundant room can be given, and
the swarming Impulse ' la greatly
checked, Therefore, If bees are to
be kept far from the house, and can
not bo given much attention, It Is ad
visable to produce only extracted hon
ey, which Is done by giving tho bees
large combs and plenty of room, for
It matters not whether the combs are
entirely completed or not, as the hon
ey Is taken from them and the combs
retained to bo used.
Condlmsnts For Hogs.
Tho most valuable "condiments" for
hogs are ashes, salt and copperas. A
big breeder says he once a week
rakes up the cobs In tho feeding yard
and burns them, thus giving the swine
some chsrcoal; occasionally ho hauls
In a load of coal ashes, and salt and
copperas are mixed with wood ashes
and kept In a trough where tho hogs
can get at them at any tliile.
Work of Earthworms.
Earthworms perform excellent aer
vice In enriching the sail. According
to Darwin, on meadow land earth
worms eject sufficient digested ma
terial to greatly change tho character
istics of the soil, amounting to as
much as eighteen tons per aero In
some caes, and containing over one
third of 1 per cent of nitrogen. They
also open the soil to permit the bet
ter access of water, air and warmth.
Butter Making.
!'r butler Is caused by overturn
ing, oversaltlng, overworking. From
the start the milk Is tainted. The
cows should be well fed, the hands of
the milker should be perfectly clean;
the milk should never be set where
there are bad odors to taint It, and
If the cream Is kept too long the
taints will bo Intensified.
Coal Tar for French Roads.
The French government has adopt
ed a method of treating macadamised i
roads with hot coal tar thinned with
about 10 per cent of oil. The cost Is
ssld to work out about 8 1 (Mis of
cent per square,
Postal Progress by Automobile.
Automobile postofflce for rural de
livery service will be one of tho next
steps In the progress of public utilities
If the Postal Progress League can ex
ert sufficient Influence with Congress.
The lesgue recently held a meeting
In New York City.
With the adoption of automobiles
and a change In the postal regulations
to permit of a rural parcels delivery
with a weight limit of 11 pounds, It
was said a profit could be had, calcu
lating on a route of. 12 miles, cover
ed twice a day, as against present loss.
These trips would cost. Including car
rier's salary, only 15 per day, which
would be more than provided for If
each of some 175 families along the
route paid only 3 cents a day for par- jf
eels from tho town
Quarters for Fowls.
When comfortable quarters are pro
vided for fowls, says Prof. Watson,
the nutritive ration of tho food should
lit about one fifth; that Is, one part
protein or muscle-producing com
pounds to four parts of carbonhy
drates or heat and fat-producing com
pounds. Roof 8hlngles.
Shingles are usually 1C Inches long,
and a bundle of them is 20 Inches
wide and contains 24 courses In the
thickness at each end. A bundle of
shingles will lay one course 80 feet
long. When shingles are exposed 4
Inches to the weather 1000 will cover
107 square feet; 5 Inches, 132 square
feet; C Inches, 1C0 square feet.
Plenty of Work on Farms.
tabor has gone to the cities and
towns In such quantities that our
farms and vineyards have been left
to go uncared for, and tho farmer is
compelled to do what he can and
leavo the remainder undone.
NOTES.
The highest price ever received for
any farm product, pound for pound, is
butter. When sold It takes tho least
fertility from the farm.
- In planning farm work don't try to
cover too many lines or your fate will
be like the tramp who said when he
climbed through a barbed wire fence,
"I covered too many points for my
own good."
To uhb brine for salting butter Is
not feasible except when very light
salting Is wanted. It takes the salt
Itself to make good, marketable but

ones carrying a largo amount of flesh.
They cannot produce, milk and flesh
at the same time. Hut they need good
feed, just tho same. A cow Is a fac-

tory, where tho raw material In tho
shape of hay and grain la taken In
and converted Into milk.
Remember that tho milk does not
have to bo sour In order to be classed
as poor milk.
Whole wheat Is better for fowls
than corn. It does not make them so
fat and, considering the greater num
ber of egg that can ho secured by
using It, It Is a more economical fixd.
Tho value and usefulness of tho

Its mental as upon Its physical con

There Is practically no difference
in food value between tho egg with
a brown shell and tho one with a
white shell. This Is the conclusion
arrived at In tests made at the Cali
fornia experiment station.
When hatching duck eggs under
hens, tho young should be removed
as soon as dry, as they become rest
less, and the hen often In her excite
ment treads on them.
As a usual thing the farmer does
not know enough about poultry. He
has It on his farm and allows his wife
to take care of it on the limited time
she has at her disposal, and that Is
alKiut all the attention he ever gives
tho matter.
lie sure to provide some plan for
exercising tho fowls during the win

Keep a good, big jar of vaseline
among your emergency remedies for
the winter.' It Is of value applied to
tho frosted comb and wattles of a
bird, drawing the frost out thoroughly.
Keep the eggs stored In a clean
room till ready to take them to mar
ket. Eirg shells are porous and It
Is known that they will absorb odors.
Tho. absorption may not be sufficient
'o make the eggs taste, but It will bo
enough to start tho eggs to spoiling.
A Spelling Reform.
One of the witnesses In a lawsuit,
who had Juki been sworn, waa asked
to give bis name. He replied that It
was Hinckley. Then the attorney for
tho prosecution requested him to give
his name In full.
"Jeffrey Alias Hinckley."
"I am not aklng you for your alias,"
said tho lawyer, Impatiently.. "What
Is your real name?"
"Jeffrey Alias Hinckley."
"No trifling In this court, sir,"
sternly spoke the Judge. "Which Is
your right name Jeffrey or Hinck
ley T"
"Doth of era, your honor."
"Both of thejn? Which Is your sur
name?" "Hinckley."
"And Jeffrey Is your given name?"
"Yes, your honor."
"Then, what business havo you with
an alias?"
"I wish I knew, your honor," said
the witness, ruefully. "It Isn't my
fault"
"Whst do you mean, sir?" demand
ed the Judge, who was fast losing bis
temper.
"I mean, your honor, that Alias Is
my middle name, for some reason
which my parents never explained to
me. I supioe they saw it In print
somewhere, and rather liked the looks
of it. I'd get rid of it it I could do
so without the newspapers finding It
out and joshing ma about It."
"The court suggests that hereafter
witness begin his middle name with
13 Instead of an A. Counsel will pro

Spokane Church Element Enraged.
, Spokane, Wash., Dec. 30. Since
Mayor Moore has come out flatly in
favor of repealing the Sunday closing
ordinance and has gone on record to
that effect In a plain letter as a re
ply to the petition signed by business
men who represent fully B0 per cent
of the taxable property, requesting
the repeal of the ordinance, church
people are horrified and havo stated
that tho Mayor will "get his" as soon
as they get around to It, which means
that his political future will be re
tarded by the churchmen's efforts.
There is some talk of Impeaching the
Mayor and Police Chief.

Art Swamptd.
Bands of migratory mendicants
and hundreds of unemployed workmen
from other cities are pouring Into New
York and tho Inrush of dependents on
the municipality has developed a sit
uation which the charitable Institutions
are unable to meet. Hundreds of ap
plicants for clothing, food and lodg
ing are being turned away dally by
philanthropic Institutions, and to con
sider these extraordinary conditions
an informal meeting was held today
by representatives of 20 charitable or
ganizations. Tho records showed that hundreds
of applications for aid came from
those who had come hero from other
cities, and plans were discussed to
stem tbo rush of mendicants. While
no decisive action was taken. It was
tho sense of the meeting that the De-1
partment of Charities should provide
an adequate work test In connection
with Its treatment of lodgers. It was
suggested that each person who de
sires a night's lodging should spend
a short time at the stone quarry on
Ulack well's Island. Officers of the

between December 1 and December

Blue Sundays in New York.
By enforcing two blue Sundays in
succession In New York City, Police
Commissioner Bingham la entitled to
be ranked henceforth as among the
saints. Never before has there been
such a riot of piety among the "unco

has the Pharisee been so unctuously

Is sim
plicity personified. The Sunday Clos
ing Act forbids anything whatever In
the nature of public amusement or
entertainment upon the seventh day
of the week, and, that being so, what
else remained for the law-abiding and
law-enforcing commissioner but to
enforco the law and defy Its conse
quences? Not his to reason vhy.
His but to do and die.
An enthusiasm for the law Is, It is
true, a little unusual on the part of
the New York police, but even death
bed repentances have not wholly lost
their efficacy.
The commissioner's instructions to
his subordinates were unequivocal.
They were advised to use a little
"horse sense," but beyond that there
was to be no discretion. Carnegie
Hall, with Its highly moral and up
lifting program, must be closed. So
must the 5-cent vaudeville with Its
program neither moral nor uplifting.
So must all Intermediary shows.
Neither character nor motive must be
considered by, the stern guardians of
pubrlc virtue, who must surely have
thought that visions were about and
that ascension robes would soon be
the order of the day Instead of hel
mets and uniforms. The Y. M. C. A.
entertainments were just as much
under the ban of the law as vaude
ville and roller-skating. The Educa
tional Alliance must take a day off on
Sunday as well as the theatre. The
public sports at Celtic Park must stop
In spite of their beniflcent work, and
Justice, with her eyes blindfolded,
must discriminate In no way at all
between lectures on the Holy Land
and the dancing halls of the Bowery.
"Put your men by tho theatres," said
th Inexorable commissioner. "Let it
bo understood that there will bo no

Ben Franklin
who used to run a newspaper down East years ago, also edited
an almanac which contained some wise sayings. Here Is one
of them:
"The way to wealth, If you desire It, Is as plain a tho way
to market. H depends chiefly on two words Industry and
frugality. Ho that gets all ho can honestly and saves all he
gets (necessary expenses excepted) will certainly become
rich."
What Ben said was not only true at that time, but it still
holds good at the present day.
There Is no better way to save than to have a bank account

curtain rises; and if they keep it up
you will arrest tbo next bunch, and
the tlcket-seller, and anybody else you
can get bold of in the office, Including
the manager and proprietor."
And it was so. The law was en
forced to tbo letter on Sunday, De
cember 8, and again the following
Sunday. The giddy and frivolous
world was represented by seventeen
Sunday evening dance balls which
had taken the precaution to obtain in
junction against police Interference.
With these Insignificant exceptions
New York suddenly became a city of
the dead, and there were no signs of
the "revelry by night" which is said
to be one of the great attractions of
the metropolis.
There were practically no arrests.
Every one obeyed the law, because
obedience was the most effective of
all possible protests. Deserted Broad

about It, while the placards on opera

Greeks, Russians, the Scandinavians,
not to mention the Chinese, turned
disconsolately away from their ac
customed haunts, woefully perplexed
as to what to make of It all, while
Coney Island was shut up so tight
that its frequenters found nothing
more exciting to do than to walk
quietly up and down the nearly de
serted beach. The restaurants every
where were, of course, crowded, sim
ply because people had nowhere else
to go; but the churches found no
difficulty whatever In accommodating
their congregations, in no way sensi
bly swelled by the occasion. Perhaps
It may yet be necessary to close the
restaurants and parks; and re-establish
the pllory for those who obstin
ately neglect the "means of grace"
and the contribution plate.
It would be rash to predict, as many
are doing, that there will be no third
Sunday of this amazing experience.
Tho churches themselves are fright
ened and the Federation, learning that
the declson has been enforced by the
police "in extreme terms," has hasten
ed to ask that there shall be a s De
dal committee of the Board of Alder-!
men with instructions to license such
Sunday concerts as shall be "free
from immorality and financial gain;"
that is to say, such concerts as they
themselves shall approve. Tho State
Legislature has fully empowered the
Board of Aldermen to do this and any
thing else that seems good to them
In the way of Sunday regulation, and
there Is no doubt that the board will
hasten to do something to allay a
state of stupefied Indignation that Is
not far from dangerous. Personally,

enforcement.
But there remains one question to
be asked of Commissioner Bingham.
We should more easily believe In his
real for law enforcement If it rfere
a little more inclusive. It needed a
Supreme Court judgment to show him
his duty In the matter of Sunday
amusements, but how about the sa
loons? No oneiuestions, or has ever
questioned, that the ordinary saloon
at which no meals are served remains
open on Sunday In contravention of
the law. What " has Commissioner
Bingham to say about this, and how
does he explain the evident fact that
what Is sauce for the goose Is not
also sauce for the gander? Or are
we to understand that the sacred sa
loon, as one of the great vote-getting
Institutions of the country, Is above
all law and outside all control? The
commissioner has been pointedly
asked this question and he refuses
to discuss It. He may well be excused
Inasmuch as there Is no possible room
for discussion about a law that Is as
clear as the sun at noonday and wholly
without ambiguity. But the question
ought to be pushed right home in the
hope of discovering what are actually

When the sun Is brightly smiling.

But when things look "topsy-turrey,"
And you don't know where to turn;
