The Ancient Breton TONGUE.

Ethnologists and philologists in
England have this summer made an
interesting discovery. In the fall of
every year large numbers of boys
come to England from Brittany and
peddle around the countryside strings
of onions. 1t is a custom which has
been IN existence for several years,
and has been increasing annually.
These have only the barest smatter-
ing of English, but II Is an interesting
fact that they have little difficulty in
making themselves understood among
the Cornish and no difficulty in Wales.
The latter fact is not so remarkable,
since the Welsh language and the
Armorican, which is spoken by the
Bretons, is very close. But the last
person able to speak the ancient
Cornish tongue-also closely allied to
the Armorican-died in the 70's, yet
enough of 1t remains to enable the
Cornish to get along with the Breton
lads.

Objection to lenumes.

While most farmers understand that
cowpeas, crimson clover and other
plants which take nitrogen from the
air and store it up in leaves aud roots
are valuable soil renovators, they OBJ
iect TO plowing under such crops.
They say they are too expensive TO
use in this way. and that their great
est value would come from cutting the
crop and feeding it to animals. This
Is largely true, fer the manure would
be valuable beyond doubt, especially
when supplemented by commercial
fertilizers. On the other hand. there
are exceptions to this plan.
Take soil that is very poor and at

lilizers rich in nitrogen; the expense
would hardly be warranted by results

PASSING of the Oath,

In a pamphlet on "The Passing of

can Law Review, Mr.. Benjamin p.
Moore, of Baltimore, shows that
Maryland has been in advance of the
rest of the world In abolishing by
law that relic of barbarism," the
imprecatory oath. as well as the re-
quirements of kissing the Bible, sub
stitutlng for both solemn declaration
and lifting OF the hand. The dlspens-

anticipated by many persons, of IN
creasing perjury. 1T is the general
testimony" he says, that the new
law has worked admirably well and
that its administration is marked by
far greater degree of dignity and
solemnity than had prevailed under
the former practice. Perjury still oc-
ours, but not more than il did in the
period when the oath was at its long
est and when the swoarer invoked
damnation upon himself, If he lied, at
the same time increasing his chance
of speedy death by kissing a filthy
Bible swarming with disease germs
from the mouths and hands of pre-
vious users. The oath had ceased TO

Flowing Under Green Crops.

In the report of the Farmers In
stitute CT Ontario, Duncan Anderson
writes of Green Crops as Fertilizers" {"
He says he has two farms. one of
them being mile or more from where
he lives. 1t is too far to haul manure,
SO he has found it necessary to SOW
green crops to be plowed in for culti-
walton.
Glover has proven most satisfactory,
although If catch of it is not secur-
cd, peas will be valuable.

H. may not be practical TO lose q

but in some instances it has proved
well to do so. the succeeding wheat
crop bringing in far more than the
clover crop and smaller wheat crop

clover. however. which has been made

Covered Milk Pals.

The laws of the several states are
being overhauled and IL Is now a seri-
Gus matter TO place milk on the mar
ket that is adulterated. In some states
the laws are being made TO cover uten-
s!ls used in milking with the hope that
farmers may be gradually brought to
an understanding of the necessity for
cleanliness. There are several milk
pals on the market having covers
which keep out much Of the contami-
nation, but they are of little use unless
the mixer Is inclined to take other
precautions.
The stables should be cleaned, and
every COW should be groomed daily;
then, just before milking, the sides of
the COW should be wiped off and the
udder and teats wiped clean with a
moist cloth. The mllker. too. should
be clean and his method of milking
should be such that If, in the operation
his hands get moistened with the milk
bCtn hands and .cats should be wiped
dry before more milk is taken. The
covered pail Is a good thing, but the
clean COW and the clean stable, togeth-
er with the clean milker. will do more
than anything else toward keeping the
milk clean.
Keep the stables noooed with sun
light II possible, and see that every
utensil in which milk is kept, If only
for a short time. is washed. scalded
and set where the purifying rays Of
the sun can reach 1t. Do these things
