A "LOt" of Land.

A Hartford lawyer is of the opinion
that the term ''lot" as applied to par
Gel of land is an American product, not
derived from any other uses Of the
word. He says: II have been reading
up some Of the old histories Of my
state. of Long Island and other colo
NAL sections recently, and / find that
the term "a lot of land was originated
in the colonies; that it is today consid-
cred an Americanism and stands apart
from other uses Of the word. 1t origi-
mated from the custom Of dividing
grants for townships, ETC., into parcels
of land and then numbering each par
Gel, putting the numbers into hat or
whatever was used and then having
them drawn out by those who were to
occupy the land. Each man took the
parcel corresponding to his number, SC
his land came by lot literally. and
hence the use Of the term. This, I pre-
sumo, is ancient history, but perhaps
ancient enough to have been forgotten
by most real estate dealers and other
people who deal in land and not Ian
guage"

l have a silo / have filed for two
years with pea vine ensilage, for which
l have paid 50 per ton for what 1
have bought. All it has cost me is haul
ing the overplus from the factory, says
Frank Lawler in American Agricul-
turist. l commence feeding twice a
day. After milking feed eight or ten
pounds per COW. After they eat this
I give them coarse fodder, what they
will clean up. l gradually increase the
mess of ensilage to twenty or twenty
five pounds per feeding. 1 give them
all they will clean up after they get
used to II, with hay or stalks at noon.
My experience has been two years
feeding with good results. When
change from ensilage to hay or corn
stalks, find the flow of milk decreases
to some extent. To get the best results
in feeding pea ensilage the grain ration
should be two-thirds wheat bran, one
third gluten meal. find my cows stay
in good health and fine condition, with
large flow of milk. have a small dairy
of seventeen graded HoIstein COWS.
They are considered the leading dairy
herd at the Canastota milk station, TAX
ing the number into consideration.
Make siIo Fit the Herd.
There is always a tendency to build
big things, and even silos are not ex-
empt from this failing. but man
should not build a forty COW silo for
a ten cow herd, and especially he
should not build a si!o with such a
large surface that his herd Of cows
cannot eat sufficient silage to uncover
new surface every day and thus save
the silage from molding. If his herd
and silo do not fit each other. there is
not only loss in spoiled silage, but
also tendency to feed an excessive
amount of silage to save it. The fol-
lowing table shows the size of silo and
the daily feeding surface required for
herds of different sizes:

A CHEAP suBsolLER.

A friend who had for many years
cultivated a field with a stiff gum
subsoil, always blowing the field about
four inches deep, had by the action of
the pillow packed and smoothed down
this subsoil SO that the plow could not
be made to penetrate the crust which
had formed unless he set his pillow to
go much deeper than he cared to plow-
He finally seeded the field down to
clover, and when he turned the clover
sod over two years later for corn
hardpan all nicely mellowed up by the
action of the clover roots. Glover is the
poor mans subsoiler and worth all it
costs to grow on anyefarm for this pur-
pose alone.

1t has been frequently decided that
drunken man is not responsible for his
actions, and therefore he is sometimes
let off where woman under the like
circumstances would surely be put in
to police CELL Perhaps man may
not be responsible for his actions after
he is drunk, but he is certainly respon-
sible for getting drunk.

SIN fall or winter trees which show
rough bark will have nests of insects
in the creyices on their south sides. A
tree which stands in the open will have
it's larger limbs and rougher bark on
the south side. Hardwood trees-the
oak, the ash, elms, hickories, mesquites.
etc.-have moss and mold on the north.
Leaves are smaller, tougher, lighter in
color and with darker veins on the
south. On the north they are longer,
of darker green and with lighter veins.
Spiders build on the south side.
"Any sawed or cut stump will give
you the compass points, because the
concentric rings are thicker on the
south side. The heart of the stump is
thus nearer to the north side. All these
things are the effects of sun. If you
are on a marsh, small bushes will
give you the lesson. Their leaves and
limbs show the same differences. Al
most all wild flowers turn their faces
to the south. There are many other
signs, but reckon you will find these
enough"

1RR1GATroN BY THE GOVERNMENT.

Reclamation of waste and desert
land by systematic irrigation ON large
scale is to receive the attention of the
general government now for the first
time. 1t is a grand and farreaching
work, of infinitely more promise than
the investment of millions in pulling
snags and dredging sandbars in I'M
namable and unnavigable creeks. The
almost universal verdict of the Ameri-
can people on this question of reclama-
ton of territory by government au-
thority is that it should be promptly
and intelligently undertaken, the pro
ceeds of all reclaimed land sold to be
devoted to the work. Like the postal
department, we believe that irrigation
by the government may be self sus-
tanning or very nearly SO.

the wound well with them, after which
bind to it plaster of the crushed

used in it's dried state by sleeping the
leaves in hot water. 1t is gathered in
September by negro nurses in the south

apparently where he can't tell hysteria

How to Clean Nickel Plate.

To clean the nickel plate of the bath
room a mixture Of washing soda and
ammonia may be used for the cleaning
part, with little thin whiting paste
when it comes to the polishing. These
fitments are easily kept clean and
bright if treated once a week, but the
surface once thoroughly clouded
through neglect it will take many re-
peated rubbings to restore the original
polish and brightness.

In SO small a thing as the slicing Of
bacon the trained hand will distinguish
between the right and the wrong way,
The bacon should be put on the table
or board with the rind down. Slice
with a sharp knife and as thin as pos

the rind. When enough slices are cut
slip the knife under them, close to the
rind, and they will fall off together
