Adolphus Solomon's Eightieth
Birthday

The Hon. Adolphus S. Solomons,
one of the grand old men of American
Jewry, celebrated his eightieth birthday
last Monday. The occasion again calls
attention to a remarkable Jewish per-
sonality. AS it has well been said Of
Mr.. Solomons "His long life has been
crowded with good deeds and with pub
lie spirited efforts to help the poor, the
suffering and the afflicted of all creeds
He was born in New York in 1926,
and received his education at the local
university, and from that time has taken
an active part in philanthropic and pub
lie work. He was one of the founders OF
Mount Sinai Hospital. Removing to
Washington, he engaged in the publish
ing business. He has been identified with
many Of the well-known characters OF
the capitol, and at one time was dele
gate from the District of Columbia to
the House of Representatives
In 1891, when the Baron de Elirsch
trust was established, Mr.. Solomons be-
came it's general agent, with headquar-
ters at New York, position which he
filled with great ability and only relin-
quished in 1903 He was also one of the
vice presidents of the Red Cross Society
On the death of the late Joseph Blumen-
thai he became the president of the
Jewish Theological Seminary and re-
manned at it's head until it was merged
with the present institution. Mr.. Solo
mons is fine type of the American jew
ish citizen, whose record reflects honor
on himself and credit on his people.

to emphasize his intention. When he
saw Mr.. Merton-who had described
himself as cheerful and homeiy look
ing"-he simply turned up his nose,
shifted and refused to move when
starting time came.
Only those who have had similar BIT
ter experiences will believe me when
say that move he would not till George
ran In front of him with handful of
oats 1--WE always carry nosebag for
him) for the first two miles of our
journey.
l shall never forget that afternoon.
Mr.. Merton, shiny, fat and beaming;
jerking the reins and calling at Neb-
uchadnezzar till was hoarse; George,
furious, running in front of our sulky
horse with the handful of oats.
At the end of the first two miles
Nebuchadnezzar managed to seize the
oats and devour them. Then he al
lowed George to get into the drivers
seat, Mr.. Merton getting up behind,
took the bit between his teeth and
raced home. Mr.. Merton hung, like
grim death, on our knifeboard OF a
back seat.
Well, somehow, Mr.. Merton didn't do
either, though he wanted to be.
come our curate and said he should
have enjoyed the quaint life
Quaint" was his own word, and /
know he meant it naively, and not
rudely.
But uncle was getting impatient, and
impatience only made him more criti-
cal and not less easy to please.
AS soon as Mr.. Merton had been dis
missed, uncle informed us that he was
advertising again. 1t was very diff
ferent advertisement this time, how
ever: Wanted, 4 curate for a quiet
country parish. Age immaterial, but
must be earnest and gentleman. In
terview in London"
There were not so many replies, but
uncle said they were more to the
point" We were not allowed to see
them, and, of course, there was none of
the fun of the curates coming down for
the night. Instead, Uncle Bertram in
terviewed them at the waiting room
in the railway station, allowing half an
hour for six interviews.
But he always came home afterwards
downcast and alone.
Uncle Bertram is still without Q
curate.

CHINESE AS SLOW AS EVER
Agricultural Machinery Is a Rarity
in the Fields of Their
Country.

In the agricultural sections of the
entire Yangtse valley there is prac-
tically no use whatever for foreign
agricultural implements. The Chi.
nese laborers in the rice and cotton
fields, in the mulberry groves and in
the gardens find the Chinese imple-
ments of greater utility than any of
the foreign and adhere to them. The
Chinese hoe, which contains a much
greater weight of metal than the for.
eign one, being practically mattock,
is, according to their ideas, more
serviceable in this heavy soil than
the foreign Implement.
All the ordinary hand implements
of agriculture are shaped and con-
structed according to Chinese taste.
Agricultural machinery is not used
in this section, even the pillow being
a great rarity. The Chinese turn over
the ground usually with their mat
tocks. 1t is narrowed in primitive
way and when the crop is gathered
hand labor does all the work.
Under these conditions it is not
strange that the importing firms OF
Shanghai do not consider it worth
while to carry line of agricultural
implements. 1t is difficult even to OBJ
tain foreign implement for use in
the garden of foreigner in Shanghai.
This is the present condition and to
all appearances it bids fair to con.
tinue for an indefinite period. In the
north, and especially in Manchuria,
some agricultural implements are be-
ing used. but these are rather the re.
suit of Russian introduction than of
Chinese desire. The statement was
made recently in one of the northern
papers that the introduction OF mod.
ern agricultural implements seemed
practically as far of as ever.

The fourth who tried his fate was q
Mr.. Fitzgerald. He wasn't very yocng

square silo. The latter has walls that
cannot be sprung out and 1t has no
corners, while the octagonal silo has.
The corner is always place Ior the
air to get in, and the presence Of air
means the spelling Of the silage.
The location in the corner of the
barn was and is popular. In the feed
ing Of beef cattle or other animals
than milk cows the location seems to
be a good one. But for cows giving
milk 1t Is different, as the odor from
the silage will faint the milk in spite
OF all the care that can be exercised
by the mixers. An odor once in the
milk cannot be entirely dissipated by
any kind of aeration vet devised.

Yield of Silage Corn

The yield of silage varies considers
ably with the distance of planting.
Close planting gives the largest yield,
but tends to produce a weak stalk,
which makes the crop difficult to Gull
tivate and harvest. Three feet is prob
ably the most desirable distance to
plant sorghum, corn, and corn and
sorghum. II planted more than two
feet apart, the yield will be decreased;
whereas, If planted in two-foot rows,
the cost Of cultivation will be greater!

THE LARGE FARM.
An Argument Against Their Being
Maintained in the Thickly
Settled States.

Large farms in our thickly settled
states are not q benefit to any COM
munity. The farms comprising ten
and twelve thousand acres of land
result in dwarfing the social life of
the people living on them. We know
of one city located between two such
farms. Citizens there say that these
two great farms are cause of detri-
ment to the whole township. The
people living upon them are practical
ly all transients. The owner of one
lives in a large city hundreds of
miles away, and his employees are
people that have no particular in
terest in the prosperity of that part
Of the country. It Is practically i'm
possible to build up a proper COM
munity spirit where every man feels
that his position is only temporary,
and that tomorrow he may move on.
1t is fact, too, that many of these
large farms have been financial fail
ures during large part of their exist
ence.
The man that tries TO manage TO-
O00-acre farm on high-priced land has
very difficult task on his hands. He
cannot expect his employees to have
the same interest in things that they
would have if they were the owners.
One farm is divided up into % sub
farms, and in each of the % farm
houses is tenant and his family, and
he is supposed to look after the inter
est of 800 acres of land. But he is a
hired man and thinks all that he can
get from it is his salary and the few
things he can raise around his house.
Is there any reason to suppose that he
will bend every energy to make the
piece of land bloom and blossom, as
he would If it were his own? Being
only a transient, there Is no induce
ment for him to improve the looks of
the property. There is the eternal
presence of the idea of the lack of per.
manency in his position. This passes
to his wife and to his children. He
can in the main regard his position
only as stepping stone to something
else. What we need, urges the Farm.
ers Review, is medium-sized farms
not vast farms
The writer has in mind another
farm of 10000 acres existing in the
state of Illinois. The man who Great.
ed that farm Is wealthy and seems to
have a mania for adding farm to farm.
Some years ago the writer rode over
this farm, and the effect made upon
him was very disagreeable. The land
was hardly half-tilled. The pastures
were producing only meager growths
of wild grasses. The tenants houses
were small and occupied mostly by
men. The owner did not care to en-
ploy men with large families, as the
state law would compel him to sup
port a schoolhouse and teacher. This
is always the tendency of these large
farms. The owners wish to employ
on them only men with small fami-
lies, or men with no families, or men
that have children that have grown
beyond the school age. Their whole
financial interests lie in a direction
contrary to that of the well-equipped
schoolhouse. The great farm in our
thickly settled states Is un-American
In its makeup and its tendency.

Silage Acid,

Silage in its fermentation produces
an acid that is powerful in its effects
on the cement used in silos. II the
silage is made from too green corn
the amount of acid is large and its
effects on the silage very noticeable.
one way to offset this is to apply a
coat OF thin cement each season, put
ting 1t on with brush. This requires
