pates No Further Delay

In discussing possible delay in
the beginning OF operations by the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
Electric Railway, Mr. &. y. GIadfcl-
ter, the treasurer, said yesterday:
I'VE have already announced that
the road will be ready for operation
by December !. We see no reason TO
change that view. on the inspection
trip over part Of the line, made on
Sunday, this was the CONSENSUS OF
opinion OF the engineers and operat-
ing force. 1t went out as coming
officially from us, and we fully ex-
pect to meet the promise.
1T has been said that some trestle
work In marsby land at Holly Run
Cove, in Anne Arundel county. may
throw us back. This is hardly ac-
curate. We did encounter some
difficulty at this point when the con-
struction work reached that locality.
This, however, was in the early
spring. We set TO work To remedy
the matter, and our engineers assure
us that it has been overcome and that
the base is solid and secure"

LEARN TO GROW ALFALFA.
It IL the Cheapest Crop In Proportion
to Labor.

Every earnest, thoughtful farmer 10
DESTROYS of improving his soil, MAKE
ing more remunerative crops, and do
ing the work with the least amount
of labor Small grain AID pea vine
hay is much less expensive that cot
ton. Corn and sorghum como next In
cheapness. But the cheapest crop pos
sible in proportion to the labor is
alfalfa. Because many farmers in Tex
as and other southwestern states. and
in the irrigated districts, plant hun
dreds of acres of it. we do not advise
you to rush into the business that
way. Go at it by degrees until you
learn how to manage it. Take one
acre as a trial lot. Select dry sort
of soil, with porous subsoil. Flat,
sandy land will not do. A cotton lot
that is nearly free from grass seeds
is best. Break well, getting up two to
four inches of clay. Do this as early
In the year as you can. Harrow sew
eral times so as to make fine seed
bed. Sow broadcast Is pounds of seed
on the acre, March / to 15, mixing
them first with two bushels of sand
slightly moist land is the best thing
to SOW small seed with. Cover the
seed with a weeder or light harrow,
but not deep. Keep back a pound OF
seed and go over the lot after they
come up and resow the thin places.
Before the last narrowing it might
he well to apply 400 pounds of 10-4
acid potash. II good stand is Sc
cured, and the first dry spell does not
kill it before the roots strike down.
you will be all right After learning
how to manage that acre, you will be
ready to put in two or three the next
fall, which is the best time to SOW it.
The farmer who works two horses
and has ten acres in alfalfa will get
more clear money from it than he
would from cotton crop, If he plant
ed. nothing else.

PROFESSOR HAD LAST LAUGH.
final Erasure Neatly Turned Joke on

President Hadley, Of Yale, was talk
ing about his student days. Il remem-
Der a stately and venerable professor"
he said, upon whom some sophomores
once tried to play trick.
"The professor, one morning. being
unable to attend to his class on &C.
count of a cold, wrote on the black
board:
"Dr. Dash, through indisposition, Is
unable to attend to his classes to-day
"The students erased one letter In
this notice, making it read:
"'Dr. Dash, through indisposition, Is
unable to attend to his lasses to-day.
But it happened few minutes later
that the professor returned for box
he had forgotten. Amid a roar OF
laughter he detected the change in his
notice, and, approaching the black
board calmly erased one letter In his
turn.
Nov the notice read:
"Dr. Dash, through indisposition. 10

Hia Practical Idea.

A benevolent old man who lived on
his farm in Iowa never refused shell
ter to any who might ask it Of him.
His many friends demonstrated with
him about this characteristic, know
ing that many INSCRIPTIONS hoboes
would avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunity, and that there was great dam
ger of the old man being robbed. To
these circumstances the old man re-
piled that he believed in practical
Christianity"
But" said one of his friends, this
seems very impractical. Suppose one
Of these men took 1t into his head to
rob you one night?"

cal Christianity by locking up their

Laundry work at home would b
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t Is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric IL
hidden behind q paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys tho
appearance. but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as IL can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
or strength than other makes.

GROWING HAY IN TENNESSEE.
A Correspondent Gives His Plan to
the Public.

A Tennessee correspondent writes:
II desire to plant five acres to crops
suitable to grazing hogs next year,
using barley for a cover crop on part
of the sections. One section was sown
to crimson clover last fall, one to red
clover, the others in peas, beans, etc.,
for succession of crops What do
you think of this plan?"
Winter barley makes very good
grazing crop. 1t should be put in
from the 18th of August to the 18th
of September Some winter oats
might be sown on another acre OF
ground and crimson clover and red
clover on two other acres. Craze the
barley as suggested In your letter,
and then if the crimson clover does
well it should be ready about as soon
us, the barley is gone, and If the red
clover and oats are grazed down when
they are well advanced in the dough
stage you will have enough feed to
carry your hogs until the early sown
spring rape is ready Then peas and
beans should follow on the barley and
oats and crimson clover land. Put
them in as early as possible. Use az
early maturing variety of peas like
the New Era, Warren's Extra Early
and Whippoorwill. For soy beans use
the Tho San Yellow or the Mammoth
Yellow. These will not mature until
late in the fall. An area of alfalfa
will be invaluable for grazing hogs
cit can be grazed, as you know, of and
ON several times during the season
| furnishes highly nutritious and sat
| isfactory food for hogs, and remains
permanently on the ground for 8
number of years.

coTToNsEeo MEAL FOR HOGS.
Advice From the Texas Experiment
Station.

A bulletin of the Texas agricultural
experiment station says:
TO those wishing to use cottonseed
meal for hogs now wesrecommend:
1. For animals on heavy feed, that
not more than one-fourth the weight
of the grain ration consist of cotton
seed meal.
2. That this feeding continue not
more than so days. or that the proper
ton of meal be reduced if feeding is
to be continued longer.
9. That the meal be mixed with the
other feed and all soured together.
A. That as much green feed as pos
sible be furnished the hogs.
S. That a close watch be kept, and
meal be taken from any animals not
eating or not gaining we'll.
Feeders who have had experience
with the meal will probably be able
to exceed these recommendations.
which, however. allow the use of
enough meal to greatly improve a
corn diet. One pound of cottonseed
meal to five of corn furnishes the
nutrients in the most desirable pro-
portions for fattening, while one or
two of corn are more nearly correct
for young growing stock. OF course.
other feeds are desirable for their
influences not attributable to their
composition, but it is not often that
tn, adopted standards can be ignored
in feeding any animals for profit.

CHINESE HAD FIRST zoo.
institution of Menaseries Was Due to
Two Incentives.

The Chinese had the first zoo. Me-.
uageries are thought to owe their
origin partly to the cult of sacred
animals and partly to the ambition OF
rulers to possess specimens of rare
and valuable creatures from foreign
lands or sayago beasts from their own.
In the simplest forms geological gar
dens were one of the earliest develop
meuts of culture. and were familiar to
the Chinese, Indians, Greeks. Romans.
and pre-Spanish Mexicans In ancient
times. The oldest recorded menagerie
IL Chinese, dating from 1850 B. c. The
den of lions kept by Darius. as de-
scribed in the book OF Daniel. is an ex-
ample of one of those primitive me-
uageries, while the cult OF sacred
white horses by the ancient Greeks
and Romans and that of so-called
white elephants in Burma and Siam
are instances of second type. A live
giraffe was received at the menagerie
Of Schonbrunn as early as 1928.

Nobody who has not endured ~

Nervous headaches, as well as neuf

tho nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves is through the

Dairy Farm Versus Cotton Farm.

To the ambitious farmer there is
the difference of good land on the
dairy farm against poor land on the
cotton farm. The dairy rarm viii; i'm
prove constantly and regularly all the
time until finally it will be like a
garden. The cotton farm on the other
band will decrease in fertility and in
the course CT time become too poof
to return any profit. This statement
IS not theory, but fact. In one case
humus Is added to the soil little
faster than it is used up, while In the
other It is being persistenly destroyed.
