Novel Farming.
Baltimore Sun.

|
the Seaboard Air Line, who re-
turned last week from q trip over
the system, had a conference while
away with agents connected with
the experimental farms along the
road. Much success has followed
this novel work, and the move. of
the Seaboard in this direction has
attracted general interest.
Mr.. Hoffman says that he was
greatly pleased at the results OBJ
tanned and that the work was PROV
ing to be one of great value to the
agricultural sections. The right
of way along the road is used for
the experiments, and there is a
regular force of men to go over the
line and look after their develop
ment. Station agents supervise
the farms contiguous to their sta
tlons. Grasses and food products
Of all kinds are tested, and under
the direction Of experts it is shown
what articles can be grown to the
greatest advantage. A number of
new crops have been introduced
and the diversification Of products
is noticeable.
Farmers are taking special in
terest in the plan and large
number of clubs have bsen formed
to promote the work. Seeds are
being secured from all parts of the
world and planted on these farms
The results are closely watched
and when product is found to Of
fer reasonable profit and can be
grown successfully seed are dis
tributed among adjacent farmers
Considerable success has been
obtained with species of corn
which is indigenous to Afganistan,
Western Asia. This corn is OF
hardy nature and endures a
drought without becoming in.
jured. It's stalk has been found
to make an excellent fodder fol
cattle, and the seed ground into
meal has special value for food
A small quantity Of the seed was
secured by the Seaboard Air Line
and distributed among the far
mers on condition that one-halt
of the first crop of seed woulc
be returned to the railroad to bt
again distributed. So successful
was the growth that there were in
stances where forty bushels were
back to the railroad from far
mers who had been given ONT
bushel.
An attractive feature of the worl
is the attention given to the cult
walton of flowers, shrubbery anc
trees. Just as the farmers have
become interested in the produc
ton of food products, their wives
and children have taken UP thi
department. They have abt
formed clubs, and there is a gen
-erous rivalry among these organi
cations to excel their neighbors
, As a result of such influences Pres
ident Hoffman said that there wa
a noticeable improvement in til,
appearance of property in the ag
ricultural sections. Flower gar
dens were rapidly MULTIPLYING, ant
, with them have come weu-buil
fences.
| This, according to Mr.. Hoffman
was instilling lessons of thrift
) which were calculated to becom
helpful in promoting the genera
welfare of the people.

EXPENSIVE FIGHTING.

Modern naval warfare is the most
expensive sort of fighting. To give
some idea of the amount of money
that can be expended in this way, it is
only necessary to state that it would
cost 100000 in powder and shot
which includes the most powerful
vessels of Uncle Sans navy, to fight
for an hour.
The cost of the powder and steel
that one modern battleship would fire
away in one hours fighting, is as great
as the cost of building creditable
man of war in the days before the
nations began to build fleets of iron
and steel.
The United States has five squad
rons afoat-the North Atlantic, the
South Atlantic, the European, the Pa
cific and the Asiatic, of which the first
named is the most powerful.
In action, one of the battle ships of
this squadron would burn up about
sixty tons of powder, and powder
costs the government twenty seven
cents for every pound.
One single naval engagement of
any duration would cost more in the
value of powder and shot expended
by the opposing fleets than it would
have cost to conduct an entire naval
war at the beginning of the century.
Here is a drought story told by a
travelling man: was driving across
the country to a little town in West
ern Kansas the other day, when met

"Where do you get water?" said I.
Cup the road about seven miles,"

"And you haul water seven miles
for your family and stock?"
"Yep."
"Why in the name of sense don't
you dig a well?"
Because it's just as far one way as

at the City Hall.

Mr.. Pau took the oath of office be-
fore City Recorder Brown last even
ing, and this morning entered upon
his duties as mayor. The other city
officials who were chosen to Office last
Tuesday also qualified. City Recorder
Brown took the oath of office before
Judge Shissler, and then administered
it to the latter.
Mayor Pau states that he will call
special meeting of the council for
tomorrow night to organize. The talk
is that Aid. Petersen is to be given
the vice. presidency. The election of
a city attorney is likely to come up,
and the office now seems to lie be-
tween H. L. Schm1tt and W. L. Com
stock, with the chances in favor of
the former.
Mayor Pau states that he has given
no thought to the police appoint
ments, and does not expect to have
any appointments to announce tomor-
row night.
Engineer Haynes term does not ex-
pire until the second Tuesday in May,
and it is thought that he will be re-
appointed.
