FALL PASTURES.
Advantages Of Some Of h Cereal
Grains.

Grains.
The present is u good time to con-
slider the methods Of supplying ample
pasture for stock this fall, says Pro-
fessor w. A. Henry. If there is any
possibility Of scant pastures from the
means already available, let one Of the
present grainfields be devoted to tina:
purpose. AS soon as the grain crop is
harvested let the land be prepared by
blowing and reducing to the finest pos
sible condition. On this well made
seed bed sow oats, wheat, rye or barley,
the last named being far preferable.
Where one wishes to gain both fall and
spring pasture, rye will be found salts
factory. Where fall pasture only is
desired, by all means let barley be
sown. When sowh in midsummer, rye
and wheat plants are apt to show red
rust in the hot weather, and this is q
serious drawback in many cases.
Barley is a wonderful plant in many
particulars. Next to rye, it grows near
est to the north pole Of any cereal in
Europe, and still it tlourishes in Arabia
and other hot countries. Sown in mid.
summer, young barley plants will in u
short time reach O height where they
can be pastured of, and a barley pas.
ture will hold good until late in the
fall. On several occasions the writer
Of this has seen barley which was
sown in July head out in the fall, and
last seaso a sample Of mature barley
grains was sent to us grown from the
second crop. This, Of course, is unu
sual, but it shows what may happen.
The first freezes of fall do far less
harm to young barley plants than to
wheat or oats, and this is an additional
advantage.
Few farmers realize how advanta-
geously some Of the cereal grains may
prove for pasture purposes. They are
apt to think of them only as grain
producers, when in truth wheat, rye,
oats and barley are all grass plants as
much as timothy and blue grass,
though they do not form quite as dense
sod. 1t is well to bear in mind the
secondary value which these plants
possess and use them whenever neces-
sity or opportunity requires.
Grasses and clovers can usually be
sown along with these grains, with a
good "catch" as the result. I think
that experience will show that even
when the barley or oats are pastured
off the grasses and clovers will still
hold, and thus one can get a pasture
crop and a catch Of grass the same
season. More experience is needed on
these points, but the subject is an in.
teresting one for those who are study
ing to increase the capacity Of each
field Of his farm until all are made to
produce to the utmost.

Missouri Orchards.

Following is in substance advice from
the president Of the Missouri Horti-
cultural society, given at a recent in
stitute: The proper Selection Of varie-
ties is very important. The Ben Davis
is the leading commercial apple for
this section. Eighty per cent may be
planted of this. The remaining 20
per cent may be divided between the
Jonathan, Winesap, Missouri Pippin
and Gano. Head the trees quite low
and prune sparingly. The eastern
practice Of giving the tree an open
head will be fatal here. Our bright
sunshine and hot summers will sun
scald the limbs.

Commercial Fertilizer and Potatoes.
The Virginia station draws the fol-
lowing conclusions from experiments.
with commercial fertilizers for pota-
toes:
First.-That potatoes grown without
fertilizers contain the greatest amount
Of Cry matter. The addition Of fer
tilizers tends to diminish the dry mat
ter, and also as the quantity Of fer
tilizer used is increased the amount Of
dry matter is diminished.
Second.-Potatoes grown where sui
phate Of potash was used contain O.
dry matter than those where muriate
was used.
Third.-The ash is not affected to
any very appreciable extent. Fertili-
zers tend Slightly to increase it.
Fourth.-Very little effect is produced
on the starch by fertilizers, their tend
ency being to increase rather than to
diminish it.
Fifth.-Potatoes grown with muriate
Of potash contain less dry matter but
slightly more starch than those grown
with sulphate Of potash.
Sixth.-Neither the kind nor amount
Of fertilizer has any appreciable effect
on the percentage Of nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash contained in
potatoes.
Seventh.-The percentage Of chlorine
is considerably increased when muriate
of potash is used, and the more muri-
ate used the higher the percentage Of
chlorine.

otherwise they would become lost or
enter other hives, in which case they
are liable to be stung to death by other
bees. There is less loss in this respect
during the autumn months than at any
time during spring or summer, as the
bees are lying idle the greater part Of
the time at this season.
Bees should not be moved during
winter. They should not be disturbed
or molested in any manner while TAX
ing their winter doze, except on a fine
day, when they are flying, to look after
their wants. They may be moved in
early spring in safety, when they are
beginning to fly daily.

generation Of lovers of the historic are
alive to enjoy it.
To New York city the history Of Trim
ity church is the history of religion, of
piety, of charity and of learning. While
two hundred years is of little moment in
the history of some of the great religious
structures of the old country to the new
world such a stretch of time seems long
indeed. Even one hundred years g
the church was referred t in official doe
uments as the venerable Society," so it
is not strange if today it is regarded
as one of the greatest of our antiquities.
Great as Trinity church is at the pres
ent time its beginnings We're humble
enough. and the wealth hat has since
been placed at the disposal of the society
was more the result of accident than on
account of great foresight on the part of
the Wardens, yestrymen and rectorS of
the early days.
! When Trinity church was founded in
1897, during the reign of William and
! Mary, there was no Episcopal clergyman
near enough to New York city to be able
to ~officiate at its altar, so Mr.. William
Vesey was sent to England where he OBJ
tanned holy orders and returned as the
first rector of the parish, a position he
held for more than fifty years. His sal
any was one hundred pounds a year and
stated fees for services that he might be
called upon to perform. For instance,
for burying a man or woman he received
five pounds, for burying a child over ten
years of age his fee was two pounds ten

New York, April 27.-Devout church
men are enthusiastic over the proposal
to make the beginning of the twentieth
century the occasion of a church jubilee
in old Trinity.
Trinity claims to be the oldest Episco-
pal place of worship in this country: and
nearly every old Protestant family Of
America has had its head worship there
at an early period of the c~ountry's his
tory. The exact form of jubilee is not
determined but if carried out, it will be
historical, oratorical and choral.
About once a year for several years
past it has been the custom to revive the
report that Trinity church was sinking
before the old edifice would have to be
torn down to prevent its total collapse.
A few days ago this old rumor appeared
again, clad in new garments, and once
more it can be cast aside as an almost
baseless sensational report.
While it is true that the construction
of SO many sky-scrapers in the vicinity
of old Trinity has had an effect upon
the building this effect is scarcely ap-
preciable and the expert builders who
We're called upon to eXamin the church
several years ago were able to check the
ravages so completely that not a sigr
that might possibly be a warning of q
collapse has since been detected. 1t is
safe to say, therefore,, that the ole
church is safe for many years to come
and that this one relic of moderate an.
tiquity will be left as long as the present

| shillings, and for burying an infant one
marriage was thirteen shillings, n
other services were arranged in proper
ton.
The church at that time was by no
means the stately edifice that now looks
down upon Wall street. 1t was a small
square building with a modest steeple out
it answered every purpose for many
| years. In 1910 the work of the present
structure was commenced, for while in
the years that had interviewed there had
been several buildings, one of which had
been destroyed by fire, none had been
particularly large or attractive. AS the
times changed and the wealth of the So
ciety increased the need of a more COM
modiOus structure was felt and so in
1889 it was voted to erect a church that
should stand for generations as a credit
to the first t~IpiScopalian parish in New
York.
About eight years after the establish
ment of the parish the corporation re-
ceiVed the gift hat is now and has since
been the basis of it's great wealth. In
11O5, when good Queen Anne was mis-

in the museum of Guys Hospital, where

his mates went to a fair, and saw a

most interesting history apart from the
fact that it is now worth a great many
millions of dollars.
1t is the same farm or tract of land
granted by the Dutch governor, Van
TWiller, to ROelof Jams. The heirs of
JAMS sold these siXty-two acres to the
English government in 1871 but the val
idity of this sale has had to be passed
upon by the courts within the past few
years, the heirs of Anneke Jams claiming
that she had not assisted in the making
of the deed to the English governor,
Lovelace. The courts have sustained

is now regarded as flawless.
For many years after the Trinity cor

property it was used as a farm and yield

a GREAT JOKE.

Pittsburg News: One of the clerks en-
ployed at the Public Safety Building
made the usual weekly call on an East
End young woman a few days ago. He
had with him a pair of handouts that he
had put in his pocket for her amusement.
He intended to play a practical joke on
her. He would lock one of the cuffs on
his own wrist, he told himself, and at a
favorable opportunity slip the other onto
her wrist and lock it. Then he would ex-
claim:
"NoW we're tied!'
That would be a clever play on words,
for the slang for married is tied" Be
side it might give her a hint of-weIl, she
ought to know anyhow that he wasn't
calling there once and twice a week
merely to talk about the Philippine war
and the bicycle trust. After he would
lock the manacle on her wrist he would
pretend to have lost the key and would
have a good laugh at her expense in the
end.
The plan worked splendidly. She look
ed as if she thought it rather clever when
he said, Now we're tied," But she soon
began to coax him to take it off. He de-
clared that he had lost the key and that
there wasn't another key in town that
would t the lock. When he saw that she
might get angry if he carried the joke toe
far he reached in his pocket for the key,
Then he remembered that he had put in
an envelope so that he would not lose II
and he had left the envelope on his desk
in the Public Safety Building.

tifying a house of worship.
When the artistic sense has been salts
fed the visitor may turn to the old
churchyard and there enjoy a breath Of
antiquity such as few spots in this cOun-
try can offer. The oldest grave is that
of a child, Richard Churcher, aged five
years, the stone bearing the date Of 1851,
for the old churchyard was the favorite
burial place of the English people of
New York years before the Revolutionary
war. AS a result the stones bear a
printed record of the city's history that
is most interesting. There are to be
found the names of the founders of many
of the oldest families of New York, gov
ernors of colonial and post-I2evolution-
airy days, mayors and soldiers, artists
and actors, all of whom have played in
important part in the history of the
city.
One of the first monuments to attract
the eye of the visitor is the marble tomb
erected to the mefory of Alexander Ham
ilton who was killed in a duel With Aaron
Burr, while near it is a modest slab on
which is this inscription: "Benjamin
Faneuil, died March 81, 1919, aged SC
years, s months" and it is not generally
known that this slab marks the last rest
ing place of the father of the man who,
in 1740, built and presented Faneuil hall
