house, but they showed no fear of crows
thereabouts. and they fraternized with
robins. How do they know their enemy?"
the correspondent asks. For countless gen.
erations their progenitors knew the spar
row hawk of Europe as foe. and were on
friendly familiarity with crows. even oc-
cupying old nests of these sable birds. But
new experience would be sufficient. AMI
mails quickly form associations and these
are transmitted instincts. A few years
ago the Revue Scientifique gave an instance

descendants exhibited the same fright at
the same place and hour. though the dog
attack was never repeated. Quick and last

man and better than reason for animals,
are the wonderful endowment often mis-
taken for animal intelligence.

ELECTRICITY IN FARMING.

From the worlds Work.
In the application of electricity to every
day work Germany has, perhaps. gone
further than any other nation. Electrically
heated and operated cooking and laundry
apparatus is in common use there. but the
most striking single development is the
electrical farm. Take. for example. Prof
. Baekhaus estate near Quednau, In eastern
Prussia. which is only one of large num-
Der of German estates run by electricity.
The Quednau farm covers 40 acres. and
Its dairy handles 900 gallons of milk daily
Every part of this farm is lighted by cleo
tricity and is in telephone communication
d with every other part. The dairy has ar
electrical churn: the barn contains cleo
trically operated feed and carrot cutting
machines. and even the grindstone is
turned by small belt from the shaft con-
nected with the barn motor. The water
pumping apparatus is run by electricity:
all the buildings lighted by incandes-
cent lamps and there Is an electrical pipe
lighter at the doors of all the houses. This
farm has also its own threshing and grlst
mill. the machinery of which is turned by
a current from the miniature central sta
uon. and finally there is a small sawmill
0 which gets its power from the same sta
tlon. On the farm are all kinds of electro
cal agricultural machines. including an
automobile pillow, all run by batteries
charged from substations in the fields
The power for all these various opera
tions-ighting. heating, telephones churn-
ing. cutting. grinding. pumping. threshing
ana sawinS-comeS from a hfty-horse- pow
err stationary engine moving two dynamos
From this station the power is distributed
u the parts of the farm, and the switch
board is so plainly marked that the COM
monest farm hand can regulate the supply

small farms have grouped to support one
station and have their work done by it,
Such plants as these do more than merely
HShten farm labor-fewer workmen are
needed and greater profits are possible and
the whole business of farming is made more
attractive. The barnyard is lighted by an

Dress in India.

from Inc tnlcag0 news.
Many Mohammedan women in India wear
petticoats. generally very wide indeed. and
falling in heavy folds. Some wear an I'M

across the bosom and over the left shoulder
and head, like the saree, complete the cos
tune. When the petticoat is not worn by
Mohammedan women pyjamas or trousers
take their place. These are sometimes
loose. as in Dude and Bengal; elsewhere
they are as tight as they can be made The
cutting out of these tight trousers is no
easy matter for they have several cores
on the inside of the thigh and are con-
trived so they are flexible however tight
and do not hinder the wearer from sitting
cross-legged. With the trousers which are
tight at the waist are worn the choice

Little Parks.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

FROM the brooklyn Eagle.
Before seeking to add large areas to our
park system, for the benefit of the city at
large, 1t behooves us to improve such prop
critics as we have. and. as a general propo-
sition. 1t may be said that all great cities
need half dozen small parks where they
need one large one. We need not consider
them places of beauty. nor even as
pleasure grounds; they have a sanitary pur-
pose that is greater than any other: hence
it is imperative that light shall be let
in upon the dark places and air to districts
where human lungs are starving for IT.
The big parks are needed. but they serve
a different purpose from those at the doors
of the tenements. They are visited and en-
joyed by thousands. and they serve for
purposes of recreation. But the little
squares that should be dotted over the
town are frequented by numbers proper
tionally far greater because they are easy
of access. the neighbors reaching them
without the expenditure of car fares-a pc
cuniary burden greater than some laborers
with large families can bear. and they have
a definite moral effect in preserving the or
der and cleanliness Of the vicinity

IN CHESS CIRCLES

The Manhattan club went down to Phila-
delphia Memorial day, looking for the
Franklins. They found them, and what
happened was enough-looking at it from
the Franklin point of view, for the New
Workers. couldn't be stopped until they
had fixed the score to suit themselves, 10Y
to so. The old reliables, Reichhelm and
Martinez, were the only Philadelphia play
ers to win their games. The Maintains
to win their games were HymeS, Raubi-
scheck. Delmar, Hanham. Koch, Sweitzer
and Phillips.
If anything it felt like a little oil on an
old sore from local standpoint, to see
such a strong club get it good When a
year back the locals went in against the
great Brooklyn team they succeeded in
getting out Az to Sk, no worse than the
Franklins have now done.
With the Vienna one of the remarkable
Journeys of modern times closed Its great
variation was in having given opening to
follow to a certain point. But that was a
great distinction, and as that opening is one
on which the players are the qui vive,
more interesting one could not have been
chosen.
On this side of the water. the most pro-
nounced feeling about the outcome is that
Pillsbury our old hero, for the first time in
an international tourney. went down to
fourth place. Hitherto he has had third
or better. At Hastings (but that is eight
years ago. he was first. Then he was
young. eager and primed for the world.
Now he is stale.
Tschigorin took first prize. and that was
satisfactory to the fraternity. He is a gen.
erous knight of the lance, ready to give or
receive any opening but this special one
had received great analysis from him and
he was at him.
Frank Marshall, especially. covered him
self with glory, for the first time taking
second place in a master tourney, placing
some nice games to his credit against good
people. 1t is to be acknowledged in passing
that free players like Tschigorin, Marshall
and Pillsbury have quite an advantage in
slashing opening like this against the
grubbers Of the German school.
The remainder of the list we know only
In general way. DR.. Lasker's prediction
that black would win most games became
so eventually, as white captured 30, black

NEW MASONIC TEMPLE
MEETING OF BOARD OF MANIAC
ERs SATURDAY EVENING.
Adverse Action of Proposal for Theater
in the Building-Report Re
garding the Funds.

The board of managers of the Masonic
Temple Association met in special session
at the Masonic Temple Saturday night.
Nearly every member of the board was
present. The report of the building COM
mittee was offered and unanimously adopt
ed. 1t was decided to retain the services
of Edward A. Crane, formerly of the super
wishing architects Office and now of Phila-
delphia, as experimenting architect of the
construction of the temple.
The board took adverse action on a prop
osition from P. b. Chase Of Chase's Thea
ter to construct theater for him in the
new temple building, he offering to take
long lease at a very liberal rental. 1t is
stated that the board was much pleased
with Mr.. Chases offer. and would have
been glad to avail itself of the same, but
decided that it was not feasible to COM
bine theater with the temple. and thus
diminish, and to some extent destroy, its
use for Masonic purposes.

Shoes and Hosiery.


Low shoes will be worn to the exclusion
of every other style; they will be in rus
se.s well as in caIf.r The russell shoe
has not found its place just yet. but smart
boot makers are putting them out. and as
there is no reason whyltan shoes should not
not be WORN 1 cannotl,se6 why they should
not be. Fashion has very little to do with
a question like this. Ills purely matter
OF good taste and becomingness. There are
some suitings and some half-hose that go
better with tan than with black shoes
should recommend tan shoes and tan
belts with flannels. calf belts and calf
shoes with serges and worsteds white shoes
and white belts with ducks.
Hosiery will not be in the very prominent
patterns that were SO much the vogue last
season. They come in colors that will go
well with the new suitings and when man
dresses he should see that the socks go
well with the suitings or that they con-
trast well. Take the new grays and soft
blues and tans for the homespuns, and for
the darker suitings select patterns in which
brilliant colors appear in the relief effects
Half-hose should not be over prominent,
and this fault cannot be avoided II loud
vertical patterns and peculiar ground coll
ors are selected, or If the color of the half
hose does not go well with the suitings.

The Farmer.

Weekly letter from the State UNI
versity-COllege of Agriculture.
There IS perhaps no crop grown that
produces so much valuable feed for
ANIMALS, with the exception OF Indian
corn, as Alfalfa. The great value Of
Alfalfa lies IN the fact that it IS an
enormous yielder the hay produced Is
very nutno"s and, when the crop Is
once established, it is permanent.
At the Missouri Experiment Station
We found that one bushe. of CORE fed
with Alfalfa hay produced twice a
much beef as when the same amour
Of corn was fed in connection with,
timothy hay.
There have been many efforts made
to grow Alfalfa in Missouri. These
efforts have often failed. The reason
tor these failures can IN some cases be
easily discovered-in other cases it is
more difficult. The Station is now
engaged IN Investigations which pro
mise to solve the difficulties of Alfalfa
growing in Missouri.
The commonest difficult seems to be
that the older soils of the State are too
acid. Alfalfa will not grow on acid
soils. This condition can be easily
corrected by the application of lime at
the rate OF 500 to 1000 pounds per acre
This treatment is often sufficient TO
insure > good stand of Alfalfa. An
other frequent cause of failures lies in
the fact that the bacteria which are
necessary for the best growth Of Alta
ia are lacking In many of the upland
soils of Missouri. These bacteria are
always present in the best Alfalfa dds
riots, and they can fortunately be
easily applied to any soil. 10 order to
inoeulate soils with these important
bacteria, 1t is only necessary to secure
soil from a field Of old Alfalfa IN which
these bacteria are present. If this AL
falfa soil is distributed over the field at
the rate Of from one to two bushels
per acre, 1t will usually be sufficient
for the thorough incubation of the,soil
Il is reported that a farmeri in Southeast
Missouri, during the dry year of 1901
sold 5000 worth of Alfalfa from a field
OF thirteen acres.
Alfalfa should be planted from Aug.
18th to Sept. 10Th on thoroughly pre-
pared soil. The seed should be sown
at the rate of from Is to 20 pounds per
acre. The first seeson the weeds and
the tops q the Alfalfa should be a0Ws9
whenever they have reached a height
of six to eight inches. The second
season the crop should be cut for hay
whenever one-tenth of the plants are in
bloom. In ordinary seasons three cut
tings a year should be secured. In es-
pecially iavorabLS SaaIon four eutda@
may he made.
