A NARROW ESCAPE FOR PEDES
 TRANS.

Pedestrians on Chapel street passing Hauff Brothers store about o'clock last evening had a narrow escape from injury. A long, heavy plank, which formed part of a staging on the third floor where sign was being placed, fell and would undoubtedly have hit some of the many people passing by had it not caught on the trolley feed wires. It remained in that position un- til removed by some of the men on the trolley emergency wagon.

The Day of Small Fnrms.

Except in the far West the tendency
Is toward the small farms. and 1t Is
certainly a step in the right direction.
In the East the majority of farms
are under 100 acres, and in many Sec
tons more money is being made from
thirty acres than 100. Particularly Is
this the case where farms are located
near cities or large towns. This same
state Of affairs will gradually come
about in the West as the population
increases. If one has large numbers
of cows and horses. so that there is an
abundance of fertilizer. and plenty of
help to handle crops which can be sold
at profit. there is doubtless profit in
the large farm. but where 1t comes to
the choice between using the fertilizer
for fifty acres. common sense teaches
us that it would be best to put the fer
tilizer and labor on the smaller area,
even though the rest of the farm stood
idle. Around some of the great cities
Of the country are truckers farms, or,
rather. gardens. where the land value
Is high, on which are raised crops OF
greater value to the acre than are
farms in the country. These plots are
evidences of what can be done under
the intensive system of farming, which
Is based on the principle of small
area we'll titled. If one is located near
good markets it will certainly pay him
to look into the subject of concentrate
ing his energies on small area.

Planting Corn.

Planting corn in drills and in hills Is
practiced, and each method has its
strong supporters. The experiment
stations, however, find no difference In
yield in favor of either method, so this
leaves the farmer free to do the thing
that suits him best. Shallow covering
of seed is especially advantageous dur
ing the early spring while the ground
Is cool. Later, deep planting may be
followed with good termination. AL
most every corn grower recommends
planting the seed in a furrow, whether
it be the hills or in drills. If fresh
furrow is opened and the seed buried
in it, termination is quickened. Then
at the first cultivation the fine earth Is
sifted around the stalks that grow a
little below the surface of the seed bed
The distance between stalks or the
number of grains to be placed in hill
depends upon the variety of corn to be
grown and upon the fertility of the
land. If small variety of corn -
planted 1t will grow more stalky to
uidtuINy tHdH Will u luISV val ~ :
Again. If the ground is rich it will pro-
duce greater number Of stalks than
will an equal area of land almost eX-
hausted of its fertility. If the farmer
will be sure to thin his corn. thick
planting followed by thinning is not
only the safest plan to get a good
stand, but by proper thinning the
stalks are distributed much more even
ly over the area. If. however. there Is
danger of neglecting the thinning out
of unnecessary stalks. then do not
plant more than the ground will bear.
If ears are the chief aim plant in drills
from eighteen to twenty-five inches
apart, or three stalks III a hill three
and half feet apart. If fodder and
corn both are wanted. plant in drills
twelve to fourteen inches apart, and
four stalks In the hill

Women as Dispensers of Medicine

Although the outside world knows
but little about it. there are some hun
dreds of women who spend their
working hours in mixing drugs and
dispensing medicines. Some have
passed on and become chemists, the
first woman chemist in London hav-
ing qualified as long ago as 1919. But
there are many who are simply dis
pensers in the dispensing rooms Of the
large hospitals. or helping private doc.
tors, or employed by the large dis
pensing chemists and In the laboratO-
ries of large dyeing and chemical
works. To great extent these women
the fact that the portals Of this pro.
fession were open and. comparatively
speaking, were easy for women to en-
ter, has hardly been realized until
lately by others.
Many apothecaries say women
make much better dispensers than
men; for they are heater and take up
the profession more as a life work.
Men who have failed In their eXami-
nations fall back upon dispensing, but
women go in for 1t. and you know
women are naturally more careful in
little things; they are more accurate.
This is no doubt why they get on so
we'll in this profession. They are so
much neater than men are; you go
into mans dispensary after Il busy
morning. perhaps after rush. and
YOU wouldn't be able to find Il thing
he wouldn't himself-not thing:
but If it Is a woman who does the dis
pensing you will soon see the differ
ence. Every bottle will be in its place.

ready for use in a moment. No time

Should Feed Grain.

Farmers who keep young animals OH
fodder and other rough food during the
winter. in order to save grain. will lose
valuable time. 1t Is cheaper to feed
grain and force the young stock. so as
to have them come out in the spring
as far advanced as possible. The ex-
perienced breeders of cattle make their
profit by endeavoring to secure the
most growth in the shortest time, and
they do not overlook the winter months
or depend upon pasturage in summer.
To feed only rough food will save grain
but the young animals will remain at a
standstill and the growth that should
be made during the winter will be lost
To fail to push them the first winter
may compel the feeding of them year
longer. which would add to the expense
and lessen the profit

Good Value in Hominy Crop,

Hominy as used for human food rep
resents the hard part of the corn kernel.
The separation of the hulls, germ, and
some of the gluten and starch, which
is said to be brought about solely by
the aid Of machinery and steam. con-
stitutes what is known as hominy meal
or chop. and is really the soft part Of
the corn kernel. Considerable of this
material is at the present time being
sold in New England. The experiment
station at Amherst, Mass, has recently
made a collection of a number Of sam
pies, and Prof. I. b. Lindsay writes
that the material is kiln dried and con-
tains several per cent less water than
cornmeal, nearly two per cent more

Battle of Lexington Described in an
Ancient Book.
The Sons of the Revolution recently
selected the 10Th day of April as the
time Of their annual meeting there
after. This is the anniversary of the
battle Of Lexington. in 1915. the initial
conflict Of the Revolution which
brought about American freedom. In
a quaint old book this is recorded of
the battle thus commemorated:
II. And 1t came to pass that Thomas,
captain Of the King of Britain. pri-
vately sent chosen band Of men.abOut
the eleventh hour Of the night. to a
place called In the Italian tongue Con-
cordia. to destroy the store houses OF
the people and the implements for
war.
''2. Yet, Notwithstanding 1t was the
night season which the soldiers set out,
and the governor kept strict watch,
the people Of the province had notice
thereof
80. And there assembled together of
the people Of the province. three score
and ten persons, and the soldiers of the
King of Britain were 800 valiant men.
~. And when the soldiers were col
lected together they shouted with a
great shout, and as they shouted they
shot at the people of the province. and
it was said that some of the people
were slain.
IS. And it came to pass that John.
captain of company Of the province,
when he heard the shouting of the men
of war, that he armed himself and ran.
and about 400 men followed after him
to the battle
'6. And they overlook the soldiers of
the King of Britain at a place called
in the vernacular tongue. Lexington.
and they fought with them there: and
the soldiers fed by the highway of the
country; and John and the men who
were with him followed hard after
them. warning as they went, until thou
ward the town.
81. And the men of Britain were
very weary and chafed in their minds;
and 1t was about the going down of
the sun when they assembled the noun
tain; and they rested them that night.
"S. And on the morrow they passed
over the river and went into the town,
and the number of the slain of the
men of Britain We're three score and
five persons; and there fell of the
people Of the provinces two score and
ten men,

known throughout the land of Column
bia that some of the people of the
provinces were slain by the soldiers
Of the King of Britain.
40 That the leaders of the people
cried out. saying: What part have we
in George, or what Inheritance in the
house of Brunswick? Lo, he hath
cast us off as aliens to his house. and
dealeth with us as his enemies.
III. Then the people strengthened
themselves greatly. and encouraged
one another to fight manfully for their
country. their wives and their little
ones.
~ And the people accustomed
themselves to the exercises of war;
and instead of the voice of melody
and the songs of gladness. the sound
of the trumpet and the shouting Of
the warriors were heard"
