1t surpassed tho heat record OF 1896.
The thermometer reached ninety. five

At the Alabama Experiment Station q

and somc interesting facts are rcporL.
Ell. When cut Just before BLOOMING
the yield Of dry hay per acre was 3Jl7
pounds. When ) per cent of tho
blooms showed the yield was 3,705
pounds. When in full bloom the yield
was I,IS0 pounds. When seed pods
formed the yield was 5 ,lG:} pounds.
he percentage of protein muscle
and flesh forming fOod-in the hay is
"hlghcr than in any other of the
lcgumlnous crops, rs red clover anu
cowpcas, and much higher than corn
blades or fodder, while in fat produc
ing matter it is nearly their cuual."
AS Il fertilizer and improvcr OF land
1T IL OF high value. The Alabama
Station calculated that the "nitroocnn
contained III the vines. stubblc and
roots from an acre harvested when the
plant was in full bloom would be
equivalent to that contained in 2.17l
pounds Of cotton seed meal, and that
one week later it would be equivalent
to 1880 pounds of the meal. The
total nitrogen contcnt ot the crop in
crcascs with the stage of maturity.
In experiments made in growing
corn on platS where either the entire
growth OF vctch, the stubbcs Of yctch.
or the entire growth neatly maturcd,
rye had been poughcd under, the yield
"i corn was 30 per cent greater, and IN
some Instances 100 per cent greater on
the rctch plats than ON the rye plats.
There was little difference in The yield
OF grain on the vctch plats whether the
entire plant or only the stubbble and
roots were ploughcd under.
Finally, il is noted, as Il hog pasture

According to Herr Rcinmann, there
is no relation between rancid paste
and the 0dor Of butter and the quantity
Of free acid found in it. The greater
the amount of cascinc and of milk
sugar in butter, the more quickly does
it become rancid. 1t does not appear
that light and air exercise any direct
influence upon the process. Butter
made from stcriliZcd cream will rarely
become rancid, but if brought into
contact with rancid butter it will turn
in few days.

CITY SCHOOLS OPENED.
Greater Number of Pupils Than
Were Expected.

Yesterday the city schools threw
open their doors, and all day long the
corridors resounded with the foot
steps of ye merry lads and lassies
All the schools Were thronged with
students, and 1t is estimated that be-
tween thirteen and fourteen thousand
pupils We're in attendance. a remark
ably large number for the opening
day. All Of the buildings were taxed
to their utmost capacity, and i'm scV-
eral sections of the city SO many pu-
pills appeared Uhat numerous snnexes
may have to be rented.
No. S3 school, on Madison avenue,
was particularly we'll filled there be-
ing an average Of over forty seven
students to room, the maximum ca
pacity of each being forty-eight At
the new school in Petersburg, there
was such a rush that IT was found
necessary to have eleven teachers in
charge, instead OF zen, as was at first
planned.
These conditions prevailed all over
the city, and today and during the re-
mainder OF the week 1t Is expected
that the number OF students will con-
tinue increasing, as the first day
meyer Is a fair test OF the number Of
students who will be In attendance
during the year.
