their origin to Virginia sources are unable
to trace their ancestry with certainty
through the gaps left by the civil war. Mr..
Booghers work will thus be Of especial aid
to such persons. beside forming a valuable
addition to the historical materials Of per-
sonal nature. His present volume covers
particularly the periods Of the French and
Indian war and the war of the revolution.
1t gives names Of immigrants. poll lists. pay
rolls. rosters. lists of prisoners, legislative
enactments naming residents of the colony
and the young state and several geneolog-
ical sketches of leading families. He says:
Virginia has done and Is still doing
much to preserve the history Of her peo-
pie. but during his researches the compiler
has been impressed with the fact that not
enough attention has been given to the
rank and file of her pioneers. many OF
whose descendants today occupy the front
ranks of American professional and busf-
ness life. If this work shall be regarded as
in any degree valuable in preserving to
pOsterfty the almost forgotten names of
many Of those whose loyalty and self
sacrifice made our republic possible. the
compiler shall feel repaid for his labor.

LIE DROIT UNIONS OUTING.
Incidents Of Trip to Glen Echo Tues
day Last

Tuesday last the members and friends Of
LIE Droit Union, w. c. T. u, enjoyed an
outing to Glen Echo. Mrs Hugh j. Phil
lips, the president. was hostess, assisted
by Mrs Merrick the vice president One
of the pleasing incidents of the occasion
was a pilgrimage to Miss Clara Barton's
home-it being within the confines of the
grounds-the procession of women being
headed by Mrs. Clinton Smith, their guest.
and a personal friend Of Miss Barton's.
Miss Barton was not at home, but the WIS.,
itors were most charmingly entertained by
Miss Ruthett Adams. a co-worker of the
head of the famous Red Cross Association.
They were shown over the house, which,
by the way, was used by Miss Barton as
hospital during the Johnstown food, and
afterward brought here and wings added.
The structure now contains thirty-one
rooms. In the parlor and dining room were
many gifts presented to Miss Barton by
appreciative friends. One of the gifts was
a handsome silver service, the gift Of AUX
ilary No. 2. Red Cross Members of Alexan-
der Hamilton Corps. No. 1852; Easter. 1901"
When the ladies were making their adieux
Miss Adams said: Each of you pick
spray of Sweet William as it is Miss
Barton's favorite flower" which invita-
ton was gratefully accepted.
At o'clock luncheon was served after
which toasts were responded to. the bev-
erage used being pure, sparkling spring
water Mrs. Edward p. Mertz acted as
toastmstress, and introduced Mrs Smith
by remarking: 1.-The saying Is that after
a good meal the blood leaves the Dramas
there Is need for 1t Observation-Disclosures
that organ inactive and sluggish. There is
an exception to every rule, as the ladies
who will respond to the following toasts
will give proof of. It seems apropos to
call on our district president for the re-
Spouse to the first toast she being like the
immortal George. first in war-against the
liquor traffic-first in peace, and most as
suredly first in the hearts Of the District
w. c, T. u. take great pleasure in in
Producing Mrs. Smith to you. and shall re-
quest her to take as her toast Our District
Union.'"
In response Mrs Smith gave glowing
account of the work being accomplished by
the organization. She was followed by the
president of LIE Droit Union, who responded
to the toast Our National Organizations"
The other toasts were LIE Droit Union"
responded to by Mrs Merrick: Our FL
nances," responded to by Mrs. Morris;
Peace" responded to by Mrs. Mccormick
Scott Remarks were also made by Mrs.
Johns. Mr.. Hugh Phillips, Mr.. Mccormick
and DR.. Charles p. Grandfield Master
Howard Phillips entertained the gathering
by giving recitation.
When the shades of eventide-and the
electric hghts-warned the happy picnic
party that it was time to seek the shelter
of home the scattered cups, saucers and
the rest of the goods and chattels were
gathered together, and after promising
each other to repeat the most delightful
experience at an early day. q trolley was
boarded and LIE Droit's long-expected out
ing was only pleasant memory.

The Wrong Engine House.

On the north side Of U street between
18th and 18th Is the big U street pump
house. which supplies large part Of the
District with water; just opposite, on the
south side of the street. Is No. Engine
Company. Not many seasons ago the prox-
Unity of the two establishments was the
cause Of ludicrous error. A householder
in the vicinity was sick abed, the fall days
were getting chilly. and feeling the effects
of the cold he directed the servant-not
long from the green fields OF old Virginia
to make q fire in the furnace. The furnace
was filled with newspapers and a large
amount Of trash that had been collecting
during the summer, and soon after the
match was applied smoke began to fill the
house to an alarming extent. To add to
the situation the servant came running
into the sick room and announced that the
house was on fire. The sick man was not

run to the u street engine house and get
a fireman. The faithful servant promptly
struck out, while the sick man contem-
After what seemed to him hours of waiting
the servant finally returned, putting and
blowing. "Mr. X" she blurted out as she
entered the door, dat man up dar at dat

where dere was q whole lot o. great big

wildly.
"Oh, you went to the pumphouser'
groaned the sick man.
But by this time the trash had burned
out. the smoke had disappeared, and the
house wasn't on fire after all.

ANIMAL FARMING IN THE WEST.
Alfalfa and Blue Grass the Best Foods
in the Corn Belt.

From the National Stockman.
The corn belt contains conditions for ami
NAL farming found nowhere else. Upon this
statement hang the law and the gospels.
But the farmer turning his face toward
animal farming his entire business is
confronted by many obstacles 1t reminds
me of a game of checkers. We start the
object of our choice for the king row, but
unless we use great care in backing him
up he meets with opposition that sweeps
him from the scene Of action. Just so in
animal farming-drouths. floods. disease
and storms beset our way, and unless we
fortify well our every move. we are liable
to be launched upon the market with many
of our fellow farmers at the very worst
time possible.
One of our best hackers is plenty Of feed,
and as corn Is king and the planting time
at hand, we will tell our own way of doing,
and l do not hesitate to say we are far
from perfection in many Of our efforts, but
stin keep pressing onward with our face
toward the front. We use our table land
| only for corn. and it lacks understanding.
although 1t has fairly good surface drain
age. yet washes very little. This field is
planted to corn every year and sown to
rye every fall and is nearly quite COW
cred with manure each year, with eight
cords of fresh barn mot barnyard) manure
soil and has been farmed many years to a
| three-crop rotation of corn, wheat and
clover. The wire grass had obtained con-
| troll of 1t when took possession. ten years
| ago. When the ground Is plenty dry, we
| put all available force on the field, and
| try to pillow it twelve inches deep and
thoroughly cover everything; drag 1t once
| and plant Immediately, giving it 100 pounds
| 10 per cent acid phosphate. We like to fur
| row quite Deep cover for moisture, only
putting the COMPRISING wheel On the row.
| Now let it alone until the crown Is formed
| by the roots starting from the sides of
! the stalks. because all below this dies and
| this crown forms where warmth and mois-
| ture invites.
If we plant near the surface we have our
| corn on the top of the ground. If we fill
| the furrow before 1t crowns and the ground
| is cold and damp 1t crowns near the sur
! face and the root below dies or grows no
| more. and the corn is on top of the ground
| again. but If the crown Is well formed be-
| fore filling the burrows you have the
crown at the bottom of the furrow unless
you covered too deeply. If you have never
studied this part of corn culture, examine
for yourself this summer and you will be
surprised to see how many stalks when
pulled up show an inch or two between the
crown and the old grain. This shows
plainly that there was too much dirt on 1t
when browning. 1t was covered too deep
or the dirt put to 1t too small 1t is my
opinion this is the most frequent error the
farmers of heavy soils make In corn cul-
ture, and 1t Is a bad one.
