LITERARY LIFE IN LONDON.
Chimney Sweep Who Is Coming to
 the Front as an Author.

Chimney Sweep Who Is Coming to the Front aa an Author.
 Once more there is talk in Britain of forming an academy of literature. The. business of selection is to be the work of Maurise Hewlett and Douglas Freshfield. The project is being re- ceived with mingled feelings. On some writers its effect Is like the inner working of badly dispensed cocktail, while other scribes are fizzling at the heart with excitement
 In days of such faciIe talent the se- lection of the forty English immcrtals is an impossible feat if genius is the qualification of membership. The task Is almost as difficult if talent is the qualification. Clever writers jostle you on every sidewalk in the land. Literary self-consciousness has passed like wave over England, rousing all sorts and conditions of people to va riegated activities with pen and type writer. Policemen are suspected of writing odes: Tramps indite their "reminiscences. Wheel-chair men pon- Ger problems of the universe at half a dollar an hour. Tea shop girls chew plots for stories to the detriment of customers comfort.
 Even the chimney sweep is literary nowadays I have just met at Streat- ham, 8 South London suburb, an author named Walter Hunt, who may yet qualify for inclusion among the immortals, though as a rule he is clearing soot from chimneys of his un- imaginative neighbors, says a Detroit Free Press London correspondent.
 Nobody can charge him with having run heedlessly through an uneventfuI life. He went to school again at 40, after thirteen years in the navy-dur- ing which he visited, with observant eyes. South Africa, China, Egypt, Syria and other foreign lands. Prompted by what he saw to a book, he developed his literary instincts so that now, at the age of 43, he Is the writer of book on Are We De- clining Race?" and is recognized by those who know as an Egyptologist, Assyriologist and ethnologist.
 From dawn till 2 in the afternoon he makes a good thing out of chimney cleaning. For the rest of the day he is in his study furbishing up his men, tai fittings. Who can set the bounds of literary production when men like Walter Hunt compete on even terms with college-bred professional writers?

Early Matching.

To get early sitting hens the hens must have laid out their clutches oi eggs during the winter or very early spring. Hens that have laid during the fall and all winter will be the first ones to become broody. Those that start to laying in the spring will be that much later in wishing to sit
 Put the early sitter to work as soon as your eggs are fertile. Remember that it is the early bird that catches the worm, and it is the early chick that brings the big price. If possible it is best to move each hen as she be comes broody to a room apart from the other hens Here She may sit in undisturbed peace. The room should be rather warm. as well as quiet and half dark Under such conditions the hens will all attend strictly to busi- ness, there will be fewer broken eggs and hens leaving their nests, and the, hatches in general will average much higher percentage of the mum Der of eggs et.-Agricultural Epito. mist

 The wooden core extends entirely through the post. and two end gates with two-inch holes in them are used with it. The metal core should be placed in the mold so that the small CT end is about two inches from the top of the post After the core is in position the remainder of the con- crete can be put in and the post set aside to harden until the core and molds can be removed

The cut shows a very useful pouI- try house for three pens of fowls, with yards arranged for the same number. The house is 30x30 feet and will accommodate 100 fowls. The hallway takes but little room out of the interior and yet it communicates with all three pens. The inside divi- sions are of wire netting. allowing the sunshine that enters at the side of the house to fall into the pens; out the house should be so located that three sides may receive morning. noon and afternoon sun. The plan is followed. according to Orange Judd Farmer. for dividing the yard outside as for divid- ing the space inside the house. This

 And make me blind like thee. Then might I pass her sunny face
 And know not it was fair; Then might I hear her voice. nor guess
 Her starry eyes were there. An. banished so from stars and sun
 Why need it be my fate? If only she might dream me good
 And wise. and be my mate! Lend her thy fillet. Love,
 Let her no longer see: tf there is hope for me at all.

Some Advic. a~ to How It shouIo
 He Interpreted.
 The interpretation of Bach must al ways be noble, broad and firm. rather too hard than too soft, explains Fer ruccio Busoni, the great pianist. in the Delineator. Affected methods, such as soulful" swelling of the phrases, c0quettish hurrying or hesitating, too light staccato. too smooth legato, pedal debauchery-a these are vicious and out of place here. If used with a elasticity of the tempo, giving the in- depreciation greater freedom, will i'm prove the playing of Bach materially
 The modernization of Bach's compo- sitions by such masters as Liszt and Tausig and many others is accepted by all clear thinking masters as not derogatory to the masters style. It affords rather completeness of ex- pression Witness the fact that Raff has orchestrated Bach's "Chaconne" without making it seem ridiculous Many others have followed with hap py results Raff's example of arranging Bach's music for the modern orches- tra.
 The ease with which Bach's music lends itself to this adaptation is proof of his comprehensive genius. He was rot for his day, but for all time.
 Bachs Prelude" and "Fugue No. 1O," important and not too difficult, show the man-sided branching of the present day piano technique. The legendary tradition of playing Bach without the use of the damper pedal is obsolete.

A New Insecticide.

Prof. c. P. Gillette. of the Colorado Agricultural College. his discovered a new insecticide for the codlin moth which has proved effective in destroy ing the worms. and probably will be found not so injurious to apple trees as other arsenical poisons. Sulphide of arsenic Is the name of the new poi son. It comes cheaper than the arsen- ics now in use.

To produce any crop it requires from 200 to 800 pounds of water to make a pound Of dry matter. It is important that soils have a great deal of mois- ture, and that it is not lost by evap- oration.
