Handy Guides For Underwriters In
Fixing Premium Rates.
Many persons must have noticed
when making application for fire in
surance that it is the practice Of the
underwater to examine certain maps
before he will fix the rate of premium
or accept risk on the property Of
fered. His photographic surveys mark
ed off in diagrams Of red and yellow
and other colors are always in evil
dence, sometimes bound securely in
dozens of large volumes, On other oc-
casions laid conveniently in piles of
loose sheets for handy reference.
Few persons realize, however, that
these maps contain all the information
which the underwater desires to know
about the building he is asked to in
sure and that in most instances more
matters are explained to him by q
single glance than the applicant could
make even though he be the owner of
the property.
AS a matter of fact the details set
forth are most explicit. The map
maker has managed by colors, charac-
ters and signs to give a full description
Of the construction, equipment and oc-
cupation of the building, everything
which over fifty years Of this sort Of
surveying has proved to be of any pos
sible interest to the insurance man. 1t
Is so complete, for instance, that an
agent in New York city can readily
form a good idea Of the character Of a
risk situated in some town in Missouri
or California, or, vice versa, agents in
towns in these western states can like
wise tell the character of a risk in
New York city.-Cassier's Magazine.

Plan Summer Course in Farm
Management.

An innovation in the study of agri-
culture will be begun in the summer
session, which opens June 26 at the
University of Wisconsin. A class will
devote the term to a field trip among
successful farms, probably living in a
tent or other inexpensive accommoda-
tons, while making farm inventories
and surveys, mapping fields, studying
the arrangement, location and size OF
fields, buildings, observing methods
employed and the general organization
of the farm.
The purpose is to get first-hand IN
formation on methods followed by sue
cessful farmers with a view to supple
menting the information gained by
the students from lectures and resident
instruction at the university. While
short trips of inspection have been
made by agricultural students N the
past no summer trip giving such OPP
portunities for close study has ever
been ATTEMPTED. The course will be
under the personal charge of Prof. D.
RI Otis.

He Ate the Hav.

There are still some mighty eaters
left. Not long ago a Berlin market
porter undertook for a wager to put
away at one sitting six mutton chops.
twelve eggs, a goose, a duck. six
pounds of potatoes and twenty-five
pounds of hay. Difficulties were antic-
ipated with the last course, and large
sums were laid against the accom-
plishment Of the feat. The ingenious
porter solved the difficulty by calling
for a cigarette after he had finished
the duck. He hen set light to the
hay, pounded the ashes up with the
potatoes and swallowed the lot. Aft
clared him the winner.-London Globe.

Agriculture for Teachers Given
in Summer Session.

The courses in agriculture offered in
the summer session, which opens June
26 at the University of Wisconsin, cover
a broader series OF topics than the
courses offered last year for the first
time by the college of agriculture. The
marked interest in this work last year
has shown that an expansion of the
instruction into other lines is needed.
Among the new courses offered are the
following,-farm architecture, general
agricultural chemistry, household
chemistry, agricultural bacteriolOgy,
factory ~dairying, field course in farm
management, economic problems of
food supply, free hand drawing, and
millinery and sewing, the latter three
being given in the department of home
economics.
The courses offered last year, which
will be repeated, are general agronomy,
weed dissemination, elementary live
stock Judging, testing and handling of
milk, plant propagation and school
gardening, elementary soils, agricul-
tural education and four courses in
home economics, namely, foods, textiles,
art and design and theory of design.

Clover Helps
Sandy Soils
Retain Needed
Elements

1t has been shown that the raising
of legumes benefits the soil in two
ways, viz, by increasing the humus
and by supplying the soil with nitro
gen. Other crops, it is true, such as
rye, buckwheat, millet, ETC., will also
increase the humus If plowed under
for green manure, but not nearly SO
much SO as a good CROP of legumes
because the latter have, as a rule, a
much greater root system. Besides
this, other crops have the disadvant-
age of not adding any fertility to the
soil even if the whole crop is plowed
under. There Is a great difference in
the habit of growth, productiveness,
use, value as a feed, green manur or
soiling crop, ability of supplying nitro
gen and humus, and of Sc
curing a catch, between the different
legumes adapted to this climate and
soil.
Medium Red Glover Good.
OF all legumes, medium red and
mammoth clover are perhaps better
adapted to sandy soils than any 9th
er. They are very closely allied In
that they are both biennial plants and
require about the same conditions.
Mammoth clover, however, under the
same conditions grows much
stalky and coarser than the medium
red. but when the former Is seeded
on sandy soil it grows to about the
same size that the latter attains on
a clay or a clay loan.
To introduce clover on these soils,
the field should be plowed as early
as possible in the spring and then
top-dressed with ground limestone.
This crop Is very sensitive to acid

areas, In bottoms Of ravines, or IN
pot holes that have no natural sir
face drainage. Some of them canhot
be cultivated at all; other can be cul-
tivated late in dry seasons, while 9TH
ers may be cultivated each year,
though poorly and with small returns.
Farmers unfamiliar with the benefits
OF drainage are slow to recognize it's
need Oh land Of this class. Many do
not seem to realize that a yellow

of a field Of growing grain is fire.
quent!y do to no other cause than
poor drainage.
Cost of draining wet lands in many
cases Is very small as compared with
the benefits which result. Open ditch
es cost from 10 to Is cents per cubic
yard of excavation. Practically all
of u marshes al be provided with
the three kinds of open bitches for
less than SO an acre. Lines of four
inch tile laid three feet deep cost
about 5 cents a rod for tile and labor.
If the lines of tile are four rods apart
there will be 40 rods of tile per acre.

Heavy Rollers at ST. Helena.

If the sea were to break on the
shores of Coney Island in time of calm
weather with the same force as it
does on the shores of st. Helena Sec
tons of South Brooklyn would be I'M
inhabitable in all likelihood. They
have at st. Helena what are known as
calemmas, or heavy rollers. These
rollers are particularly bad in time of
calm weather. They strike the island
with such tremendous force that the
spray is sent over Goat Pound ridge,
which is several feet above sea level.
Scientists are Of opinion the calemmas
are caused by seismic disturbances be-
meath the ocean.-Exchange.

Wisconsin Lands Now Only Half
DeVeloped.

wisconsin lands are only about one
half developed" said Dean Fl. l.. Rus
sell of the University of Wisconsin
College of Agriculture, recently speak
ing of the possibilities of developing
more fully the agricultural sources
of the state.
eve are losing thousands of our citi-
zens, who are going to the west, to
Canada, and the south west" he con
tinued, while there are yet tens of
millions of acres of land in our w
state that are awaiting development.
THE development of northern Wis
consin lands, much of which is the
finest agricultural land that could be
sought, will enormously increase the
aggregate wealth of the state and thus
distribute the burdens of governmental
expenditure.
"This development as well as the in
creased production of the area already
under tillage will come most quickly
thorugh the application of scientific
methods to agricultural practice.
Ito introduce the best scientific
methods of farming into the actual
practice of whole communities is the
function of the extension work of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture. Elk
perience has proved chat the most eff
fective way to demonstrate to the farm
er the best methods is to show him
how the thing is actually done.
"With nearly 200, 900 farmers in the
state, with scores of lines of improve
ment that may be successfully demon
tsrated, it is evident that the field is
almost unlimited so that the question
is not what can be done but which of
the problems is most pressing.

POSING on Nothing.

Away up in the air, far beyond the
mountain tops, the great condors will
hang poised as motionless as if perch
ed on solid rock. True, their wings
are outstretched, but even through
glasses not the slightest motion is per-
ceptible. They remain in this position
for many minutes, sometimes for an
hour, making a careful scrutiny Of ev-
erything below them in their search
for prey. Then, with a slight fitting
Of the wings, they flap slowly away,
or, having found what they were seek
ing, dart like a bullet toward it. The
eagle, hawk and other species have
this same faculty Of posing apparent
ly on nothing.
