BOWSER BREAKS OUT.
he Tackles a Crying Evil and There
Is q Mix-Up.

When Mr.. Bowser came up to din
ner the other evening there were no
fewer than four strawberry peddlers on
his block crying out at the top of their
voices, and as he entered the house
he asked of Mrs. Bowser.
DO they keep this up all day, or is
this extra OCCASION
'Oh, this is peace compared to the
rest of the day. she replied. AT s
O'Clock this afternoon there were nine
of them going at once
and you and the rest of the people
put up with the Internal nuisance and
make no protest.
It's nuisance, of course, but what
can be done about it? 1t seems that
the hucksters have right to yell. If
they hadn't the police would stop
them
Mr.. Bowser was very quiet as he ate
his meal. Before he was through with

and departed, and their places had been

made of The Man Who Was" will be

a success in the hands of Beerbohm Tree
Which should set the ball a-rolling? Since
it was announced in London that Constance
Fleming had made a dramatization Of

is not a star, and has no chance of

have families, mothers. sisters, wives;

folk have. Those vacation months,
when salary ceases. constitute an anx-

pretty woman she ofen can escape holt

1t was Mr. Bowser. He leaped down

fine yields Of oats this year have been
noted recently 10 this correspondence.
In this connection the result Of an
experiment made by Mr. Geo. w.
Jones, manager Of Judge Ira B..
Jone farms, is we'll worth mention
ing. Judge Jones made a practical
test of theory in regard to oat plant
ing that Col. Redding, Of the Georgia
experiment station, has been exploit.
ing for several years, leading feature
of which is the non-covering Of the
seed by ploughing or narrowing, as is
usually done. For the purpose of the
experiment Mr.. Jones selected ten
acres of very ordinary upland. The
ground was first broken up with
ploughs and then narrowed. The
breaking was done uiagonally across
the terraces and the narrowing parallel
with them. Then, With a four-inch
grab, burrows eighteen incheo apart
were run, along with the terraces,
throughout the field. Thus prepared, /,
seventeen bushels Of oats were sown
broadcast over the ten acres. Moth
ing whatever was done to cover the
seed. The preparation Of the soil
and the sowing were done in the
month Of October. Judge Jones
himself was sccptical as to. results,
but his manager was so confident e
success that he volunteered to pay
all expenses in'case the experim snt
proved to be q failure.
Some two or three weeks ago the
oats on the lard were cut and harvest
ed; and, Notwithstanding the fact
that this has been very unfavorable
year for small grain, the yield turned
out to be 523 dozen bundles. The
total expense, cost Of seed, ploughing,
narrowing and harvesting, was s39. s5,
leaving, at present price Of oats, net
profit Of over ten dollars per acre. No
fertilizers of any kind were used.
Similar land planted in the ordinary
way did not make third as much.
One Of the advantages of the fur.
rows referred to was the protection
they afforded the oats from the dam

doing injury, acted as working" to
