be regarded as patriotic. The presi-

some one to introduce a bill In con-
gress to bring it about. And it will

That the getting back of this chival-
rous gift of land is somewhat of hot

and congress, which has picked it up
twice, has dropped it in two different
ways.
For the information of those inter-
ested it might be said that this Vir-
ginia portion Of the original District
of Columbia comprises some thirty
odd square miles, now Alexandria
county. The constitution having called
for plot ten miles square, the bal
ance of the district comprises some
sixty odd square miles. The one-third
now part of Virginia, President Taft
thinks, ought to come back
That President Taft was prophetic
in his suggestion the lost third should
be recovered is generally conceded 1t

this government will need it for vari.
GUS institutions. Already it has bought
back part of it for Arlington National
cemetery, Fort Myer and other pro-
jects. And as soon as the beautifying
of the north side of the Potomac river
is finished eyes will be cast to the
other shore with a view to making it

Employees to Found @'Bungalow Town.

QUESTION of property is in itself con.
siderable of an innovation in Wash.
ington, but by far the most novel
feature of the proposition lies in the
building restrictions" In a majority
of the newer suburbs assurance is
given to the purchaser of each lot
that the character of the section will
always be maintained by the writing
of covenant into his deed that each
house built in the vicinity shall cost
not less than a stated number OF
thousands of dollars. In Bungalow
Town" this proposition will be exactly
reversed, for it will be specifically
provided that no bungalow shall cost
in excess of $1,000. This will reduce
the maximum expenditure of each
property holder to $4,000, because it
will be provided in the original subdi-
vision that each bungalow must be
surrounded by one acre of ground.
Subsequently it will be permissible to
further subdivide and build additional
bungalows, although at no time will
the projectors of the enterprise permit
house to stand upon less than one
half acre of ground.
Bungalow Town" will make its
nearest imitation to sociological col
ony in its purchases of supplies of
all sorts from the outside world. In
the first place there will be co-opera-
ton in buying the land and then there
will be determined effort to save ex-
pense in building by the letting of
contracts to build the little homes in
blocks of two or more to each con-
tract. When bungalow Town" is set
tied it is proposed that the women
folk shall join in the formation of a
central purchasing committee so that
all forms of food stuffs and supplies
may be secured at wholesale rates.

From the standpoint OF the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First Of all, the dis
tance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to

was certainly more than sufficient to

Saw Rat. Freight an Egg.

After an investigation covering two
weeks. William Krohbach of Dandy,
Pa, has learned the reason he has
been receiving only two or three eggs
a day from his flock Of sixty hens, and
incidentally found out something
about the inventive capacity of rats.
One morning he heard a noise In
his chicken house, and quietly making
his way there, he saw two big rats
in the act of making away with a
newly-laid egg. One of the rodents
was lying fat on its back with the
egg tightly clutched in its four paws,
while the other rat was dragging 1T
along by the tail. Krohbach was 80
impressed by the sight that he
watched the rodents for three minutes,
during which time they carried the
egg for twenty yards along the fence
until they came to hole In the
ground, into which they took the egg.
One of the rats became tired while
carrying the egg and changed places
with its fellow.

The complete success Of the new
fuel while on this 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
In the following dispatch which the
correspondent OF the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal oil, as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in Its
behalf were fully proven. First OF
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
lene. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
1t was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technica
examination took place, withou
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con
venient, and not once during the tril
through the ten States of the Middl,

Grain Ration for swine.

II is much the best economy to fur
nish swine grain ration when they
are on pasture, as it results in better
gains and a better product. One man
estimates that 1t takes from one-halt
to one.tAird less corn on alfalfa pas
ture than ON straight grain ration
to make hog ready for market. Many
let the hogs run on alfalfa until about
five or six months old, by which time
they reach a weight Of 75 to 125
pounds, feeding just little grain;
then they feed heavily for about two
months and sell the hogs at eight
months old Weighing 200 to 22o
pounds. One farmer who raises about
a thousand hogs year and who in
one year sold $4,000 worth, makes q
practice of growing his hogs on alfalfa
pasture until about eight months old,
feeding one ear of corn per head daily.
He then feeds heavily on corn for a
month or two and sells at an average
weight of 200 to 225 pounds. Another
man feeds all the corn and slop the
pigs will clean up, all the while graz
ing them on alfalfa pasture, and sells
at six to eight months old at weights
of ESQ to 800 pounds. Another, who
raises about thousand head year,
feeds all the corn the pigs will eat, be.
ginning shortly after weaving and con.
tinuing until the hogs are sold at ten
to eleven months old. averaging 275
pounds.
Another farmer, from weaving time
| 1.-TWO months old) until eight months
old, feeds the pigs nothing but dry
corn on alfalfa pasture, averaging
about one-half gallon of corn (3h
pounds) a day per head. At the end
of eight months he sells at an average
weight of 25O pounds.-Coburn's Swine
