Shelves in the Public Library.

AT Washington, District of Column
bia, the public library is working
away from fiction by making other
volumes more accessible. In 1903
1904 when no books except fiction
were on open shelves for direct &C
cess, fiction formed nearly "a per
cent. of the total circulation. Gradual
ly during the last four years more
and more books from non-fction
classes have been put on open
shelves, and more and more guidance
has been given to readers requiring
assistance, with the result that the
fiction percentage has been reduced
to 65. The effectiveness of open
shelves is shown by little collection
of books of biography kept in one cor

orchard Grass For Broken Lang.

L. b., Lylevue, writes: We have a
piece Of rough. stumpy land whicE we
would like to seed to some grass that
will make heavy underground ind
also permanent pasture. The land is
ON top of hill and the rocks are
loose and on top of the ground. T2ow
would orchard grass do?
Answer by Professor Soule: do
not think you will find any grass bet
ter adapted to the land described in
your letter than orchard grass. This
grass is strong, vigorous growing
variety that can be seeded to very
good advantage with wheat or oats.
You might sow some blue grass along
with it, il the rock you speak OF as
cropping out is of limestone forma-
tion. The blue grass will come on
much more slowly than the orchard
grass, but 1t will eventually cover the
land with good sod provided you do
not Craze it too closely. Orchard
grass stands second inthe list of graz
ing grasses, and it remains on the
land for number of years. One OBJ
lection to 1t is its tendency to grow in
tussocks and form rather an uneven
or open sod.

seventeen consecutive hours. There
were 125 courses, and he tasted them
all. Mr.. Ward, the American envoy
to China, who tried to secure an
interview with the Emperor Hieng-
Fung 1859, tells how he was en-
tertained at a dinner that lasted from
noon one day until 6 O'Clock on the
evening of the day following. The
total number of courses is not Civ
en-, but Ward mentions that he had
to give in after partaking Of 1873 diff
ferent dishes, "whereupon, his hosts
wondered greatly presumably at
his abstemio
Probably, however, the Esquimau
banquets last longer than any other
and the quality Of food swallowed is
also proportionately greater. Ross
records that seven Of his party OF ma

they consumed 200 pounds of seal

For the best results the field
should be plowed in the early fall
or winter, not later than the list to
the 10th OF January, and earlier If
possible.
4. II the farmer uses an ordinary
plow, then the fall blowing (break-
ing) should be one or two inches
deeper than usual and the burrows
should be set on edge. If disk
pillow can be secured, use it and pillow
as deep as possible-the deeper the
better. In case a disk pillow can not
be obtained, use subsoil pillow after
breaking. Following the breaking
pillow with a narrower pillow in the
same furrow is better than not to Sc
cure depth in blowing, but this is not
equal to the use of the disk pillow or
the subsoiI pillow. 1t is not advisable
to throw large quantity of cold sub
soil to The surface at one time. After
wards, during the autumn and winter,
the field should be disked or plowed
three and one-half to four inches
deep every three weeks, being gov
erned by soil conditions. 1t is not
well to stir land when it is too wet.
