Covering Hillsides WITH Bermuda

While Bermuda is probably as hardy as
awning you can. SOW. It will not cover
the land very rapidly unless good seed
bed is prepared. Tt would be foolish to
seed Bermuda before next June, but yo,
can probably get few wagon-loads of
the sets In some part of your county IL
you make diligent inquiry, and these can
be put down ut any time during the VIM
ter. and 'ft9will probably be cheaper to
establish sod in this way than by using
the seed, which is expensive and often
does not terminate we'll From four to
eight .poundsh OF seed should be sowri pc,.
acre. and 1t will cost you anywhere from
90 cents to 81 a pound. Prepare the land
by careful blowing and surface prepara-
ton. Put the sets in rows about two feet
apart IN the row or chop them finely with
spade and scatter from wagon and
might be. used to distribute tho bermuda
sets to advantage. piece of sod two to
four inches, square will be about the right
size to use.-Professor Andrew NJ. Soule

CHICAGO, February 4.-The Senate
of the University Of Chicago voted unan-
imcusly that Chicago recommend to tho
conference colleges the suspension Of
football for a period of two years. This
action ratifies resolutions passed by the
united faculties earlier this week.
The fate of football at the Midway
school will be definitely known when the
faculty commission of the conference
colleges meets to vote on the adoption
of the resolutions passed at the original
meeting, held early in January
II is generally believed, however. that
the University of Chicago will insist that
other conference colleges abandon foot
ball for period of two years. This is
believed by the Midway professors to be
the only way to do AWAY with the pro-
fessional spirit of the game and restore
1t to healthy amateur basis.

DECLINE TO RECEIVE FREIGHT.
Business Of Railway Company Steam
ers Blocked by Strike.


1t is stated that the agents Of the Mary
land, Delaware and Virginia Railway Com
pany's steamers here and at Alexandria
have been instructed not to receive freight
OF any character for transportation to the
wharves on the lower river at which the
steamers stop. and no information can be
obtained as to when there Is a probability
Of the resumption Of service. These boats
are all tied up at Baltimore by the strike
of their deck officers for more pay, and
since Tuesday evening last there has been
no railway line boats from this city for the
more coming this way.
The steamers involved are the Anne Ar
undel, Capt William Geoghehan; the North
cumberland. Capt. Joseph Smith, and the
Calvert, Capt. Herbert Bohannon. All the
Wharves In Smiths creek and the st. Mary
river in Maryland and in the Coan river
and feocomico river in Virginia are with
out freight or passenger service, and as
they are all over twenty-five miles from a,
railroad the embargo on shipping is prac-
tically complete.
1t is stated there are hundreds of cases
OF eggs. hogsheads of tobacco and other
goods waiting on the wharves, on the
streams mentioned, for transportation to
Baltimore. and 1t Is said that the owners of
several power boats owned here are think
ing seriously of going down the river and
endeavoring to get this stuff to carry to this
city or Baltimore.
The general opinion among the steamboat
men of this city Is that the fight will be a
long-drawn-out one, and may last several
weeks.
