Make. Grand Sweep of Everything
in the Way of Trans Atlantic
Sneeda.

New York, Oct. 11.-When the Lusi.
tania was sighted off Sandy Hook at
1:25 a. m. today she bore on her stem
all the trans-Atlanticspeed honors, and
the Cunard line and England captured
from Germany the eagerly sought rec
ord for possessing the deetest ship OH
the Atlantic. The Hamburg-Amer
liner Deutschland has held the record
for number Of years. Steamship men
also held that the achievement Of the
Lnsitania proves the superiority of
turbine engines over the reciprocatins
type. Reports from the ship state thai
the trip has been pleasant one and
the ship has shown little vibration.
The actual time of the Lusitania
was days. 10 hours, 80 minutes; her
average speed, $3.50 knots, or 2I.G
miles per hour: biggest days run, GIT
krots. She was given hearty wei.
come In New York harbor.
The Lusitania on this trip captures
practically all trans Atlantic records.
Her best days run, 619 knots, is nine
knots better than the record held by
the Deutschland. Her average speed
exceeds the record of 1888 held by the
Kaiser Wilhelm ii, of the North Ger
man Lloyd line. and her record for the
trip across the ocean beats that of the
Hamburg American liner Deutschland.
The Lusitania's time averages al
most exactly "a knots an hour for the
entire trip. Her arrival Mt 1:2O, d
five minutes earlier than she passed
the liehtship. would have made her
speed exactly "a knots.
The Cunard line captured its first
record for the voyage across the ocean
when the Europa, in 1915, made the
taen remarkable time of II days, 3
hours. beating the record of the fam
GUS Great Western, made in 1898, OF
14k days.

A BRIGHT Bird,

The cuckoo is us likely to steal Its

not take from the point of the follow

A young Englishman being asked at
dinner whether he would have some
birds nest pudding, said, turning to
his hostess: "Ah, yes. Birds nest pud-
ding, and what kind of bird may
have made it?"
"Oh, it was the cook who made It,"
was her prompt reply.

'Dodder" Dangerous Parasite.-Mr.
f. II. HillmaD, of the U. B. Department OF
Agriculture, has issued an interesting state
ment regarding his recent investigation OF
parasitic growth which has extensively infested
the clover on the farm of Mr.. G. Bosley Littig,
in Hartford county. This pest, he says, threa-
tens to become serious menace to clover fields
in all parts of the State unless some decisive
action is taken to prevent its further contami-
nation of the fields where it is discovered
"Mr. Littig's clover field covers " acres of
April.sown red and alsike clovers," says Mr..
Hillman, ION wheat stubble, which stands
knee-high and displays practically perfect
stand barring a single condition, which de-
mands the immediate destruction of the stand
in order to prevent repeated loss of clover in
the same field.
.'The field is infested practically throughout
with dodder or love vine, parasitic plant,
whose golden yellow threadlike stems are
creeping among the clover plants, or, If more
advanced, are spread over the top of the clover
in yellow patches which are easily seen from
across the field. The source OF the dodder was
the red clover seed employed. This seed con-
tanned the dodder seeds in large numbers. A
duplicate sample of that sown which was
shown contained the dodder seed to the extent
of dozen or more seeds per square foot OF the
field surface at the usual rate of sowing The
seed was produced in Chile.
whenever it is probable that some dodder
seeds have matured the plants should be
burned on the spot. This may be favored by
cutting the infested clover and allowing it to
dry; the addition of straw may insure sufi-
Gent heat to kill seeds which may have fallen
to the ground. If the dodder is not yet out Of
flower it can safely be plowed under with the
clover or cut for forage. In the latter event
the stubble should be plowed under imme-
diately.
ain case the seed vessels are fullsized, but
still green, the dodder should, for safety, be
treated very much as is it were ripe. In this
stage of development seeds may ripen in the
ground after being plowed under"

SPECIAL INTEREST TO METHoD1sTs.
Baltimore American.

baltimore american.
The many thousand Methodists throughout
the country, and especially those in this To-
cality, will be much interested to learn Of the
purchase of the tract of land known as Cover
Farm, located near New Windsor, Md. Upon
this property many years ago was erected the
first Methodist meeting. house in America.
While the meeting house, which was built Of
logs, was destroyed many years ago. the prop
erty upon which it was erected has always
been held more or less sacred by the members
of the Methodist Church, and now that the
land has been purchased by Mr.. David E. Stem,
a prominent Methodist of Sans Creek, Carroll
county, the news will be doubly interesting.
To add to this comes the information from
Rev. E. L. Bennett, pastor Of that circuit, stat
ing that Mr.. Stem made the purchase in the
interest Of Methodism and that he would deed
the site of the log meeting house to the Amer
Jean Methodist Historical Society S-of
DR.. John F. Goucher is president. Mr.. Stem
is very enthusiastic over the purchase and is
determined that the property shall always be
held as one of the historic spots of Methodism
in America.
The old site has been visited by thousands
and in 1894 party consisting of nearly 200
interested folks made the triple Carroll county
to visit it, while ten years later another pill.
grimage was made from this city, and Dab
Methodists visited the site of the log meeting
house and many other shrines of Methodism
in Carroll county.
Just what will be the next move in preserv-
ing the property will likely be decided at the
approaching General Conference. In an edi-
torial in the Baltimore Methodist the following
appeal is made for suggestions relative to the
future of the historic site:
And how shall the site be appropriately
marked2 1t will be interesting to receive sug-
gestions from many quarters, and this journal
will gladly give space. Could not some splen-
did memorial be ready by the time of the Gen.
eral Conference and notable occasion to be
arranged for2 What about the presence of our
bishops and distinguished representatives from
all over the world at this dedicated site? Let
suggestions flow in. Time must not be wasted.
We predict that exercises can be arranged
the most notable in the history Of these quad
rennial gatherings"
