with knives and stones, and was severely
out in the head. He also had his wrisi
badly bitten and was very much bruised
about the body. Smith drove to Elkton
for help. When the sheriff and his posse
arrived the contractors pointed out three

ROumanian Morals,

ROumania is famous for the facility of
its divorce and the laxity of its morals.
1t is, however, not so generally known
that the usage of the laXest society in
Europe imposes the severest restraint
upon the innocent social intercourse be-
tween the young of both sexes. A lady
writing from Bucharest sends the fol-
lowing dismal account of the way in
which the ROumanian Mrs. Grundv tv-
ranizes over the unmarried women:
'Girls have very little liberty here. If
a gentleman is seen dancing more than
twice daring the same evening with q
young lady, he is rs much compromised
as the unhappy maiden herself, and i'm
mediately pounced upon by a score of
relatives demanding his intentions. No
conversation can take place between the
young couples, as directly after the
dance the gentleman must trot his part
ner back to the matern Il wing. A
young girl is allowed to have little or
no intercourse with men, and harm
less ''tlirtation' would be ruinous to her
reputation in Bucharest How can a
girl mind develop under these and the
accompanying circumstances? No
wonder she accepts the first offer of
marriage as a means of emancipating
herself, neither is it astonishing that
men never trouble themselves to talk
for any length of time to an unmarried
lady. N T. San.

How Long Would It Take to Fill the
Sahara

In view of the recent project to fill up
the Desert of Sahara by connecting it
with the Mediterranean Sea, q CORE
spOndent, Z. /. B. writes to us inclos-
ing few figures, the results of some
calculations.
According to the latter it would re-
quire 1000 years for the waters from the
Mediterranean to fill the valley of the
Jordan, which is 1000 feet below the
former, the water to flow through q
passage 100 feet by 25 feet deep with a
velocity of four miles an hour.
With a channel 100 times this
capacity it is possible, he says,
to limit the period of filling to
40 years. At the same rate it would
take 10000 years to fill up the Caspian
Sea to the sea level, and thousands of
years to fill up the Sahara.-Scientifo

Manuriug in the Hill or Broadcast.


Where manure is scarce it may some
times be profitable to apply directly in
the hill or drill before planting or SOW
ing the seed, but taken as a whole l do
not consider this advisable if it can be
helped. l fully tried the plan once,
and although the plants treated in this
way did very well, taking all things
into consideration, yet they fell far be-
hind those planted at the same time on
soil that had been well manured by ap-
plying broadcast and then thoroughly
working into.
The main reason is this: The roots of
all plants extend a considerable distance
in every direction from the plants Of
course some may 20 deeper in the soil
than others, while those that do not
reach sOfar down into the soil are gen
orally those that send out the greater
part of their roots near the surface on
the sides of the main roots.
In manuring in the hill we usually
gauge the amount of manure to be ap-
piled by the size of the plant and the
drill. That is, we would reasonably
expect to use less in a drill row laid out
to be sOwn to radishes, than in another
in which we proposed planting pota-
toes.
In either case the probabilities are
that after the plant had made any con-
siderable growth we were to make a
careful examination we should find that
the larger proportion of the fine, small
roots, that are, in fact, the ones that
furnish the greater proportion of the
nourishment to the plant, extend out
quite distance beyond the drill or
manure,
While these feeding roots are spread
ing out or growing through that part
of the soil where the manure has been
applied, much benefit is derived, but
once beyond it this benefit surely de-
creases, and that, too, at a time when
in the majority of cases the extra stimu-
liant in shape of good plant food is
really more necessary to make the crop
profitable than in the early stages Of its
growth
do not mean by this that am not a
believer in doing ALL can to give grow
ing plants a good, strong start; but that
after they have made a start this must
be kept up, and in my experience 1 be-
lieve this cannot be accomplished as
well by manuring in the hill as by a
liberal quantity scattered broadcast.
And yet with my experience l am hard
ly prepared to say that with only linn
tied quantity of manure it may not be
better to apply by drill than to thinly
scatter broadcast. Still with only
reasonable quantity, which in the ma.
iOrity of cases would not be considered
a good application, would prefer
the latter plan, working into the soil in
as fine q condition MS possible With
unleached wood ashes, poultry manure
or night SOIL which are our strongest
natural fertilizers, I would under all
circumstances work broadcast into tho
soil in preference TO applying in the
