ATHLETES ENROLLED.

went into effect the first of the month
There are nearly 800 athletes enrolled al

New England and Atlantic districts of
the Union.
The Knickerbocker and New York
Athletic clubs have registered their full

are also enrolled. The restrictive clause
was wiped out and the old conditions ad-

ly in the spring as the ground is dry
enough to work we'll, and follow with
a harrow n cover it we'll. 1t may
seem as if this were rather hard for the
rye or wheat sown the previous fall,
but try it and see how the fall sown
grain will thrive with this kind of
grief. The sixth way is to SOW the
grass alone in the spring. This has
been tried at the Wisconsin station,
and by some good farmers, and excel
lent results reported. Other farmers
scout the idea. They say that the
weeds will take the ground and that
there will be NJ grass. Both sides have
hold of the same truth. If the ground
is foul. as most pieces of land are,
then sowing alone will be followed by
sadness of heart and bitterness of feel
ing towards those who advised it. On
the whole, this cannot be recommend
ed for the average farmer. If you are
way ahead of our neighbors and
enough better than the average, then
try it at your own risk. If you are
of common clay and only a few steps
beyond common folks, then it will
doubtless be safer and more satisfac-
tory to SOW on ground already in fall
grain, SOW early, narrowing it in if the
ground is dry enough or SOW it with
spring grain and cover the same as the
grain is covered. We have all learned
how to cover grain in the spring in
such a way that it will make a catch"
The thing to hearn now is that the
same practice will insure a catch with
timothy and clover; but there is a later
possibility of it's being killed in mid
summer if there is a heavy crop Of
oats and it is very hot and dry when
the oats are cut. On this account it
is safer to SOW on fall grain, as that is
cut earlier. There are plenty Of far
mers who follow this method and
have never failed of securing a good
stand, ever in our drouthiest easons.
Averaging Iowa experience shows that
we should SOW on fall grain very early
in the spring, or SOW with spring grain
and cultivate it in as deep as the grain
is covered.

Essentials Of a Dairy Farm.

A United States Agricultural Depart
ment bulletin makes the following sum-
mary of what is essential in the sue
cessful operation of a dairy farm:
A roomy, clean, dry, light and we'll
ventilated stable or COW house. To pro-
duce good milk, COWS must be comfort
able, and these conditions not only add
to their comfort, but are absolutely
necessary to keep them in the best of
health.
Healthy and clean cows, which ap-
pear well fed and contented.
An abundance of pure water to which
cows are given access at least twice a
day.
Feed of good quality, the grain and
coarse fodder should be free from dirt,
decay or a musty condition.
A spirit of kindness towards the
stock, exhibited by every one employed
about them, and gentleness Of the ami
mails themselves.
Provision for washing and sterilizing
or scalding of utensils which come in
contact with milk.
Provision for straining, aerating and
cooling the milk in a clean atmosphere.
free from all stable and other odors.
This treatment should take place i'm
mediately after Lhe milk is drawn from
each COW.
Facilities for storing milk and keep
ing it cold.
Especially great cleanliness in re-
oor1 m evervthinp ~cOnnecte1 with tho
dairy. The atmosphere of the stable
should be pure and free from dust
when milking is being done. Employees
should carefully wipe the udders and
wash their hands before milking, and
should be in clean clothes. Whitewash
is a good disinfectant, and should be
seer in many more stables, and land
plaster should be s%prinkled about to
absorb moisture and odors.

HER CHILDREN SAW LAFAYETTE
Rema rka BILE Age of the Late "AuHt"
Jemimah Taylor.

| Aunt JemiIaah Taylor, the coloTed wo-
man whose death at her home in Hillsdale
was noted in The Morning Times, was prob
ably the oldest person in the District at
the time of her demise. She had reached
the advanced age of 1O5 years. Though
keen and bright to her last days, the wo-
man was unable to tell her exact birthday,
| but from facts CLEANED from her own
1 statements and from those OF people who
interested themselves in her life, there is
| no good reason to doubt the accuracy Of
| the assertion.
| Because of her sudden death, Coroner
Hammett was called upon to view the re-
mains He announced that with one ex-
| ception she was the oldes.-looking person
he had met in his official career. About
two years ago a woman who Appropriated
Aunt Jernimah in age died in Fenton
court, and the coroner was there called to
offieiate While that woman showed the
effects of age more than AUNT Jemimah,
1t is safe to assume that-she was several
years the latter's Junior.
Though the hair of the Taylor woman
whitened with her advancing years until it
became a lambs coating for the top of
her head, the body, it is said, did not steop
and bend under the heavy load of years, as
it generally does in people much younger.
In fact, Aunt Jemimah walked ercctly
until within a short time of her death, and
was possessed of goodly amount of physi-
cal and mental strength.
She was born in Virginia during Wash
ington's first adminis ration When Lafay-
cite came to America on his triumphal
tour she then had children and they were
favored with a visit to Washington at the
time the great French patriot was here.
Her early life was spent in slavery. but she
was released shortly before the begin
ming of the war, and came to this city
thirty years ago. 1t is said that she
never left the confines of the District after
her first arrival

ENGLAND VS.. AMERICA
The Extent of the Coffee Habit

When one notices the difference in the
average people OF England and America
regarding their diet and digestive abilities,
some natural inquiries come up. What does
the Englishman eat that gives him such
good digestion, and what is the reason
foF so much dyspepsia among Americans?
Rudyard Kipling makes out pie beit"
through New England, and says It's path
way s sire wn with dysDepticS. The Ameri-
cans love for lard loaded dpaStry is probably
the cause of sometrouble, but the apparently
harmless coffee is without doubt the father
OF more stomach troubles in America than
any other item OF food or drink Great
Britain consumes about 80, 10000 pounds
OF coffee annually while America disposes
OF something like 33o,000.000, nearly or
quite eleven times as much.
Analytical chemistry discovers the same
poisonous aIkaloids in coffee as are found
in strychnine, morphine, tobacco and
whisky.
These slight poisons taken daily, accumu-'
late until the effect on the nerves and
stomach is pitiable with some people (who
are peculiarly susceptible to poisonsl; the
doses are continued from day To day with
out knowledge OF what is surely destroy
ing the-power OF nerves and stomach.
It lis a trial TO give up coffee, but a
new beverage has made its appearance on
THE market wlicn is SO like Java coffee
in its deep seal brown color and assuming
the rich golden bfOwa OF thick Mocha when
cream is added, that lovers OF coffee who
are denied its use, because of the effects,
can adopt this new food drink freely. The
change in taste is so slight that many do
not discover that any change has been
made. The new product is called Postum,
and it is asserted by tie manufacturers,
the Postum Cereal Company Limited, Battle
Creek, Mich. that it consists wholly and
solely of wheat and other cereals, carefully
cooked and roastedin different ways When
the parts are mixed or blended a perfect
breakfast beverage, true health coffee
results, which contains the nourishing and
healthful properties OF the grains intended
by nature for mans subsistence.
IL is worthy the trial of anyone who h as :.
trouble with coffee, or who desires to
regulate their habits with due regard to
health and longevity.
