top. 1t Is not unlikely that the re-
sourceful chronicler who maaufactur-
ed the pedigree intended to place Adam
in the position of progenitor-in-chief,
and that ner Majesty very promptly
and very properly objected to this, sac
rificing antiquity to responsibility.
Adam, as everybody knows, had no an
cestors. He could never boast of his
grandfather, as the Kaiser boasts of
his, and whatever Ewes marital cares
and vexations were she never had
thrown in her face the reflection that
her mother-in-law could have made
better apple dumplings than she. Be
sides, Adam was only n gardener,
while David was king. The former
roved about Eden without second
suit of clothes-the less said about his
first suit the better-while the latter
had purple and fine linen by the bar
rel. When, therefore, 1t came to the
matter of choosing an ancestor, as be-
tween gardener and a king, Victoria
properly selected the king. Any Amer
lean multl-millionaire = indeed, we
might even go the length of saying any
Colonial Dame-would have done the
same and more-would have planted
the tree thus obtained in the back yard
to stand a perpetual source of envy to
their neighbors.

In a recent bulletin of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture Professor Haecker

In a recent bulletin of the Depart
ment of Agriculture Professor Hacker
states that the farmers of the cotton
belt are undergoing an experience
which comes sooner or later to every
section of our land. Wheat was grown
almost exclusively in the North until
the soil refused to respond. No one
seemed to know why, but when wheat,
failed they began to depend more upon
live stock. AS the live stock increased
the land brought better crops, and it
gradually dawned upon them that the
failure of crops was due to lack of fer
dlity and that by diversified farming
they could restore it and secure as
good, If not better, returns than they
received from the virgin soil. In the
same way the soil of the cotton belt
has been impoverished by constant
cropping and inadequate fertilizing. 1t
is not In the cotton nor in the oil ex-
tracted from the seeds that the fertility
Is lost, but 1t is in the parting with the
cotton seed cake or meal to Europe that
the loss occurs. If the cake and meal
'be fed to dairy cows all the fertility
will remain on the plantation. The
professors advice to cotton-growers is,
therefore: go into dairying with the
dairy cow"

The finished work Is a complete va
por bath that is portable and will per-
NIT of trainer or attendant giving his
horse Turkish bath Immediately be-
fore race is run and send him to the
starting post keyed up to the very
pitch of perfection, or, as he comes off
the track in steaming sweat. he can
be led off to the bath, boxed up, par
tally boiled and taken out to the COM
partment where the rubbing down pro-
cess is to be carried on.
The accompanying Illustration shows
the exterior and interior of what may
be called the "hot room" Of Mr.. Welo's
Turkish bath for horses. The animal
is led to the double doors that afford
entrance to the apartment. BE is al
lowed to put his head and neck
through an aperture in the front of the
bath, SO that the hot air shall in no
way be dangerous to his lungs; the
doors are then closed on his tanks, and
he stands enyeloped in vapor that curls
around his glossy skin and opens up
hot and wholesome pathway to horsy
health.
The possibility of improving the con-
dition Of racer by giving him hot
air bath may have occurred to the own
ers of thoroughbreds before, but 1t is
SO difficult of accomplishment that 1t
has never been carried out. A horse
cannot be led into hot room and
made to keep, still during the sweating
process. 1t is none too easy to get a
human being, to whom the luxury Of
Turkish bath is a novelty, to stay the
requisite length Of time In the hot
room. To expect highly strung flyer
Of the race track to stand still while
being half boiled alive was ont of the
question.
The device designed by Mr.. Welo for
giving his horses Turkish bath pro-
vides for all this. With the equine's
head in the open air the horse is pre-
pared to submit with good grace to
warmth at his tanks. In case of the
animal, however, exhibiting wildness,
n rope can be attached to rings fitted
to the hot room, which will prevent
the animal from trying to bolt through
the aperture intended only for the
head.
