STILL STANDING
L. the House President Madison Used for

an Executive Mansion.
Washington correspondence New
York Sun: Workmen have Just COM
menced to reconstruct the old Madison
house in this city, which enjoys the
distinction of being the only private
residence which ever served as the
white house or executive mansion of
the United States For nearly two
years this building. still standing
practically intact within thousand
feet Of the present white house. served
as the seat of the executive govern
ment. For years it has been a land
mark and historical object in Wash
ington, but now it is to be recon-
structed and turned into an apartment
house, its dignity being still further
compromised by the recent location of
drug store in the lower front rooms
of the building. This old Madison
mansion stands at Nineteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, two blocks
westward of the white house. When
the British army occupied Washington
on Aug. IA. 1914, and set fire to the
capitol building and the white house,
as we'll as the few public buildings
then standing, President Madison his
cabinet. senators and representatives.
and other officials of the government,
took refuge across the river In Vir-
ginia. When the British precipitately
rstreated, Madison returned only to
find the white house ruined to Such an
extent that it could no longer be util
ICED as a dwelling. He therefore took
up his residence at the old mansion at
Nineteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, and for almost two years di
rected the affairs of the nation from
that structure. as well as entertaining
guests and receiving delegations in the
large front room, which is now drug
store.

q writer in the New York Mail and

the big hotels in that city, and little
company of tourists sat smoking and
telling stories. When my turn came I
repeated the advertisement sent to a
Boston paper This was the way the
advertisement read: Found-A fine
sealskin glove. Owner will confer q
favor by leaving the other glove at
this Office. They all laughed except
the English clergyman. His face wore
q puzzled look, and one Of his friends
noticing it, said Don't you see?
Man found a glove. Doesn't offer to
|return it, but wants the owner to send
him the other. See?" Yes" said
the clergyman, evidently not reassur-
ed, but, then, don't you see the adver
tisement would enable the owner Of
the lost glove readily to get on the

BegOnias.


Begonias grow readily from seed,
but as the seed Is extremely small,
very fine light soil should be used in
the seed-boxes or pots. This should
be settled. well watered and allowed
to drain for an hour or more, when
the fine seed should be busted on the
surface and barely covered from view
with very fine, light soil. Keep the
soil slightly moist until the young
plants are well started. not allowing it
to become dry or very wet at any
time. AS soon as the young plants are
large enough, set them in small flow
er-pots filled with fine, light soil, re-
potting them into larger pots as they
increase in size. The bedding varie-
ties may be planted outdoors in rich
soil when the trees are out in full leaf
and nights quite warm, or grown az
pot-plants on the porch.

O-u-Grpr Iu--,

Condensed from Farmers Review Stem
ographic Report of Wisconsin Roundup
1nstitute.)
Mr.. A. A. Arnold spoke on corn
growing. Corn is king OF all the
grasses. The natural area for corn
growing in the United States is limited.
1t may be that in the next generation
the price of corn will be as high as 10
the price Of wheat now. No plant can
get good start unless the seed has a
good stock Of vitality Therefore we
must have good seed corn. This il es-
sentially the case in the northern part
of Wisconsin, where the winters are
early and cold. One of the best ways
to get good seed corn is to take the
best ears and break them in two to
see that the kernels are long. After a
plant has been acclimated it will do
better than plant that has not been
acclimated. Corn must be dried
through. l have noticed by picking
the corn early, when it is just dented,
1t comes up better than any other kind
OF corn. If you do not get start the
first time Of seeding you are not likely
to get a good crop. have never
known good crop when it was not
from the first seeding.
Nearly everything depends on the
preparation Of the soil. Soil should be
plowed from five to seven inches deep,
depending on the compactness of the
soil. The ideal place to plant corn is
on a clover sod. Corn wants warm
soil and warm atmosphere. Timothy
sod should be plowed only in the fall
Spring plowing of timothy sod Is very
dangerous on account Of the cut
worms. All cultivation should be done
before seed is put into the ground.
All that Is done afterwards should be
to keep down the weeds and conserve
moisture. This is not cultivation
properly so-called.
Shallow cultivation is of great ilnpor-
tance for the reason that it keeps the
fertility in the soil Natures covering
has been taken away, and in its place
you must put on something to serve as
a mulch.
The cheapest way to harvest corn is
to put it in the silo. 1t can be done
for so cents ton.
Q.-Can you plow timothy early in
the fall and not have trouble with cut
worms?
Mr.. Arnold.-Yes, sir; but you will
lose fertility by early plowing.
Mr.. Briggs.-You can put in oats or
rye or turnips.
Q.-Would You keep the meadows
down till they are filled with cut
worms?
Mr.. Arnold.-No, sir.
Q.-What effect on corn does deep
cultivation have?
Mr.. Arnold.-It will make the corn
mature later. You can make 1t two
weeks later by deep cultivation, culti-
vation say five or six inches deep.
Q.-What do you call shallow cult
vation?
Mr.. Arnold-Two inches or above.
Mr.. McKerrow.-At the station they
call shallow cultivation everything
above three inches, and everything be-
low that deep cultivation.
