THE MILE RECORD
Time Made by Barney Oldfeld Stands
as the Best.

Regarding the mile record for motor
ears writer in Recreation SAYS:
L here inclose you q record sheet
showing the entire list of the present offi-
cial worlds records as confirmed by the
racing board of the A. A. A. at which
you take friendly jab. These are the
records at present on their books Since
making and establishing these marks. in
1910. but one of them has been lowered
and this was the mile, and as both the
tfiais were unofficial the mile record
sun stands. as far as / am aware, at
% seconds. / here inclose YOU a clipping
telling. of Oldfeld's mile in 81, made at
Lakeside. San Diego, Cal, and as the
meet was refereed by w. C. Temple of.
Plttshurg, the we'll known donor of
the Temple cup and at one time chair
man OF the racing board of the A. A.
Al ms word Tor its accuracy would be
all that would be necessary to stamp it
as genuine. AS Oldfeld, however. held
the record for 53, he never claimed the
lower mark. The manufacturers of au-
tomoblies have often claimed that there
was more advertising in the mile record
than all the rest of the marks up to fifty
miles. One manufacturer went as far
as TO offer Oldfeld a large sum of money
TO pilot his car for that record, and to
receive, payment only in case it was
lowered.
AT Portland. Ore, in June. 1907.
Oldheld covered mile in 80 1-5 While
this record was flashed throughout the
country. it was never claimed by Old
held to the racing board, so that the
table as Enclosed would stand II is
true that there are other records for
fast miles, one of which is credited to
Christy's car. They would not be Off
cial. as they were either intermediate
miles. or they were run at unsanctioned
meets. The rules for records are very
rigid, and if there has ever been incom-
potency in the racing board of the =
A. A. it has never been shown when it
came to a matter of accepting records,
as many of them have been thrown out.
The marks established by Oldfeld at
New York, Denver and Los Angeles
were witnessed by at least one member
of the board of the association. and the
rules were complied with in each in
stance"

OLD PARIS MILL AT WORK.
Longchamp Landmark Again Useful
After a Rest OF Two Centuries.


Few of the throngs of Americans who
go 10 Paris fail TO visit the Bots de
Boulogne; so thousands of Americans
know the Longchamp Windmill, especial
ly those who go TO the Grand Prix or
any of the other races at Longchamp.
A few days ago Parisians walking or
driving in the Bots were surprised to see
the wings of this old thirteenth century
mill turning in the breeze that swept the
Longchamp sward. Ii is two centuries
since the mill ceased to grind grain, and
While 1t has been continued as one of the
picturesque and admired objects of this
beautiful landscape it has not been re-
garded as machine of utility.
The mill. however, has been equipped
with four pumps, and now when the
wind serves these pumps increase the
water supply which furnishes the great
cascade of the Bots de Boulogne. So this
interesting monument in a beautiful
stretch of parkland not only adds to the
plcturesqueness of the Longchamp end of
the Bois, but serves practical use in en-
haneing the charm Of neighhoring spot

THE GERMAN APPETITE.
1t Demands Stodgy, Satisfying Food
No Dainty Morsels Will Suffice.


"Your German does not care for fan
cy food" says Samuel G.. Blythe, in
Berlin and it's Burghers," in Every
body's. He wants grub Eating to
him is sacred ceremony, not to be tri-
fled with nor sighted. When he eats,
he wants to eat, tC masticate, to get a
realizing sense that he is communing
with something that has substance in it.
There was that occasion when Frederick
W. Cauldwell, the American vice consul
general in Berlin, decided to give re-
ception to his friends. He went to his
landlady and discussed the refreshments
with her. They decided ON sandwiches
and some trifles of that character. In
giving his parting instructions, Cauld-
well said: BE sure to cut the crusts off
the bread when you make the sand
wiches.'
There was CONSERVATION at this. The
landlady held a consultation with the
servants. The master of the house was
brought into it. The point was debated
for half an hour. Cut the crusts off the
bread? Preposterous! After the situa-
ton had been canvassed In all its details.
and the judgment of everybody in the
house had been passed on the PROPOSE
ton, the landlady went TO Cauldwell

Chemical Fertilizers.

Strong chemical fertilizers should
not be given too lavlshly to growing
plants. Nitrate of soda is good as a
source OF nitrogen, but you can not
grow plant in pure nitrate of soda,
acid phosphate and other actual food
substitutes not even IL they are mixed
at clay soil il Is generally regarded
as pretty poor one for growing plants,
but 1t has more actual units of food
in it than any other sort of soil you
can take, and it is improved by throw
ing In the solid grit of sand or the
rubbish of ashes from the furnace.

economy TO work the smaller farm and
place the residue of his capital at in

Truck gardening and fruit growing
have become established branches Of
agriculture. The farmer raises his
own supplies Of fruit and vegetables,
but the multitude of residents of cit
les depend ON the professional fruit
grower and market gardener for their
supplies Of fruit and vegetables. Small
farms are multiplying annually and
become profitable investments when
operated to truck gardening and fruit
growing. An acre of onions in aver
age seasons viii return a gross income
of $500 to 500 and fruit will average
$3.50 to 5000 per acre. An acre OF ap-
pie trees have sold as high as $1,000
on the trees, the purchaser furnishing
the packages and harvesting the crop.
The land can be so operated as to
produce a crop of early peas and fol-
lowed by turnips or late cabbages,
Small farms are particularly adapted
to men in moderate circumstances and
who depend on their labor to support
their families. The small farm not
only yields large cash income when
properly managed, but it furnishes a
home for the family anil guarantees
steady employment tc the owner twelve
