THE AuGUsTA WINS.

That Alexandria can claim the honor
of hasing the fastest pleasure yacht that
runs on the Potomac river was proven
last Sunday evening when the Au-
gusta, commanded by Admiral Gaines,
of the Alexandria Yacht Club, beat the
yacht Norman, Of Washington, in q
a spirit d rice. The contest was forced
upon the Augustus crew unexpected
ly as she was proceeding up the river
towing ba teau, but recognizing the
fact that AlexauGria's reputation must
be sustained Admiral Gaines ordered the
boat set adrift and accepted the chsl-
lepge with a vim which resulted in the
Norman going down to defeat. The
Augusta carried persons while the
Norman only had 4 on board.

They will. of course. grow better on

cured from trees planted on the less
valuable land.
Most of the cone-bearing treer, and
hardwoods as well, will thrive IN soil
of medium fertility. All trees. how
ever, do not thrive on poor, sandy
ridges, or on hillsides where the soil
is thin. Black walnut. hardy catalpa,
and white oak, for their best develop
ment, require a deep. fertile soil. well
watered and well drained. and 1t is not
advisable to plant them where these
requirements are not met.
An Ohio farmer is solving the prob
lem what to do with the WORKOUT
farm. He owns an old homestead of
co acres, which he is DESTROYS of keep
ing in the family. He does not live
on the place. however, and farming
has been a losing proposition. He
has, therefore. decided to plant the en-
tire tract with trees. He has already
planted $4,000 Norway spruce, set
3H feet apart each way. on an area
of about IL acres. These trees will
be cut. as they become large enough.
for Christmas trees.
Chestnut seedlings will be planted
in the spaces left by the removal of
the spruce. and 1t is expected that
they will begin to come in bearing
when the last spruce is cut. In addi-
ton to the spruce. hardy catalpa,
black locust. elm, boxelder and syca-
more have been planted. 1t is planned

skim milk worth more per hundred

of the grain.
There is nothing better to my knowl-
edge that can be fed with skim milk
than plenty of grass and finely ground
oats for pigs, and whole oats with a
little bran for calves. A little oil meal
with feed for both calves and pigs is
a great help, and don't forget a very
little salt in each feed.

SAVING VEGETABLE
MATTER FOR SOIL
BY Henry Parsons.

The question has arisen in my
nind; is there no way by which we
may take a crop of grain from the
ground every year and retain the fer
tility OF the soil as we received 1t
from the hand of nature?
With these thoughts began to
look about to see in what way nature
supplied the soil with fertility. ! no
ticed she made use of all dead vege'
tation. The conclusion l drew was
there is enough vegetation left from
every crop after the grain has been
taken away. If properly saved and re
turned to the ground. to retain its fer
tility.
But how to apply this coarse ma
nure, save the stubble and cornstalks
and get full crop the same year 1t
was put on the ground has been the
source of much grief to me. found
that IL I plowed under coarse ma
nure and a dry season followed. there
was danger of shutting OF the sup
ply of water from below, thereby in
Turing the crop for that year. and to
scatter it on top of the ground after
1t was plowed made it almost impossi-
BILE to tend a crop OF corn.
I once had a field of oats that was
lodged SO badly could not get them
with binder, so | turned a bunch of
hogs on them, expecting to burn it
off after the hogs had eaten the oats.
The hogs rooted the ground up and
mixed the straw with the soil. I did
not burn 1t, but plowed 1t the next
spring and planted 1t in corn. The
summer was rather dry. but that field
had Just as good corn as any in the
neighborhood. l have noticed that on
low fat ground that has heavy stub
BILE the pillow will not scour, but only
push through the ground, leaving the
stubble in rows; that it did not make
any difference how dry the season
was, the heavy stubble did not seem
to shut off the supply OF moisture
from the sub-soil. So l came to the
conclusion that undecomposed vege-
table matter of any kind plowed I'M
der did not necessarily shut on the
available water stored below. provid-
ing 1t did not make a complete blanket
under the furrow.
1t has been my plan for a number
of years to disc the ground before
blowing. BY so doing the undecom-
posed vegetable matter is mixed up
with the soil in such way that 1t
does not break the water connection
between the furrow and the under
soil.
