MILLIONAIRE HUsBANDMAN.
How George w. Vanderbilt Makes
 His Farm Pay.

At Biltmore in North Carolina George w. Vanderbilt has spent over $2,000,000 in creating the greatest estate in America. He has torn down a mountain, built a great cas- tie and owns IT square miles or mountain country. These miles, however, are all under the most careful cultivation, either as farm ing, grazing or timber lands.
 The owner of Biltmore has the faculty of picking the right men for the right work. He induced a book farmer" from Louisiana to come into the Carolina mountains and take charge of the fields, fiocks and herds. That was II years ago. and until Arthur s. Wheeler began riding up and down the hills and through the bottoms he had nevet known of agriculture except from the printed page. He tested the soil of the few little worn-out plan tations on the estate, examined the hillsides. He brought into play his Knowledge of feriilizing the earth, of crop rotation, of the fodder and grain which might grow here, and especially of the livestock which might thrive and yield profit. He decided that high-grade Jersey cat tie would pay in milk and butter, also hogs and poultry, and that the product of the soil should be first for their benefit. So the bare hills became pas lures and lots for the swine to range, ample shelters being. of "ourse, pro- vided. The poultry farm was stocked with record egg layers of high de- gree, also pigeons, for squabs are profitable. Modern incubators matched chickens by the hundreds. Everything. however, was conducted on strictly business lines. Each Jer- sey had her own stall and a page in the dairy record. Every time ske IS milked the number of quarts she gives are marked on the record, as is also the butter test-the quantity of butter which the cream would make. All the ensilage and other fodder she eats in day are debited against her. When d hen in the poultry house wants to contribute to the egg funds she enters a trap" nest by which she shuts gate which keeps her prisoner until the poul- try keeper finds her. He looks at the number on the leather band around her neck. takes the egg and then releases her. Each hen also has record page according to her ndmber. and the number of eggs she lays in month or year of her life are noted oL ;he books at the farm office.

HARVARD CREW IMPROVING
Overcoming Slump in Form that
Followed Navy Race.
Crimson OnrSnen Are Now Prepnr-
ing for TvvO-miIe Race with
Cornell ON Charles River.

Cambridge, May 9.-Since the race on
the Severn River against the first crew
of the United States Naval Academy on
April p the Harvard Varsity eight has
been given only comparatively easy work:
for, as is natural after a contest the
men have slumped off little i'm their
form as a result of the tension, and Coach
Wray has realized that there is plenty OF
time for the men to come back into shape
before meeting Cornell on the Charles
River on May 30. The slump OF the crew
consisted Of slight lack OF precision in
carrying through the stroke, which re-
suited in some unsteadiness In the boats
progress. Therefore, all OF last week
was devoted by the coach to giving great
er emphasis to a recovery OF form than to
speed The crew has pulled over the long
course. taking it in short stretches at
low stroke, with occasional practice
starts. when faster time was held for
shorter distance.
There has been no change In the boat
since March "a when Sargent was re-
turned TO stroke and the men, although
unusually heavy and powerful have
shown that they are capable Of varying
the high stroke without much effort. Sew
eral times they have done as well as
forty-five TO the minute i'm sprints, and
this would appear to Indicate an ability
TO carry an even stroke, say about thirty
seven, for a longer distance. The race
with Cornell will be over the two mile
course, and for this distance the Crimson
crew should be able to carry the boat
along at fine, easy speed, but with Court
neys oarsmen 20 reckon on as oppo-
nents it is rather unsafe to predict a
victory for Harvard on the present form
OF the Johnnies' eight
The freshman crew, while ii has been
left a good deal 90 itself while Wray has
been working with the varsity men has
shown most encouraging progress al
though the men have been shifted about
several times within the past two weeks
This shift has not caused as much trou-
bic as might have been expected for &c
has consisted simply OF changing the
men about i'm the boat. and no new men
have been substituted recently The
freshman stroke, Gutter, has developed
into excellent leader with good
rhythm and time to his pun. and the
men have found him good leader.
