COMPOSER FOND OF SOLITUDE
SO NJ. Massenct Diseourages Long
Visits From Friends, but With
out Giving Offense.

The composer, M. Jules Massenet,
has a beautiful estate at Egreville.
and he does most Of his work there,
because In Paris he is rarely free
from visitors. But Egreville Is not SO
very far away from Paris, and occa'
sionally his friends go out there and
with the best intentions in the world
disturb Jules Massenet at his work.
Massenet, however, never let's his
friends disturb him very long. He
has a neat way Of suggesting their
departure. He receives them cordial
ly and In answer to the inevitable
phrase of admiration for his house
and grounds he always says exactly
the same thing. "Yes," says M. Mas.
senet, "the principal charm of this
place is that the railway communica.
tions are so bad. The only decent
train to get you out here brings you
here at 1 o'clock. and to get back to
Paris with anything like comfort you
will have to leave again at o'clock y
But one day friend who had TAX
en- a country house ten or twelve
miles away arrived on q visit. He
and his son had come on bicycles
my dear friend" said Massenet. "in
these days of the motor car bicycling
Is horribly dangerous. I wish you
would promise me to give 1t up"

Way to Remove Tattoo Marks.

Once tattooed. always tattooed, was
formerly the rule; but French army
surgeon, DR.. Tranchant, has discover
ed a method OF removing tattoo
marks, whether made with India Ink
or lampblack. According to La Ma
ture, the process consists Of first rub
bing the skin until a thin layer of the
surface is worn away. then applying a
mixture of lime. Stacked Just before
use, and powdered phosphorus. The
tattooed part having been coated with
this paste. a piece Of gauze LIS laid
over II, covered with a bandage. The
dressing Is removed after 4S hours.
The scab is allowed to dry In the air,
and comes away In about fortnight,
without leaving scar. II any trace
of the tattooing then remains. the
treatment is repeated. DR.. Tranchant
claims to have applied this treatment
in a great many cases with perfect
success

It is the saving and utilizing of oil

recently in enc of the large factories,
and was impressed with the strict
principles of economy V hitch were
followed. One operation in the manu-
facture of binder is the testing of
the binder head. This requires the
use of Irvine with which most farmers
are familiar. The operator is this test
carefully saved every inch OF Irvine,
which was transferred to another de-
partment and utilized for tying ship
ping sacks and for other purposes If
1t is necessary for big manufacturing
companies to be so economical in order
to make a profit, it is more important
that the farmer should adept like
principles which will enable him to
reap greater benefits and more profit
from his land.
Speculation is what might be termed
dealing in futures, or business trans
action of a hazardous, uncertain or
unusual nature with the hope of real
izing unusual profits therefrom. The
farmer who plans now to supply forage
in the form Of corn fodder. millet, ETC.,
and prepares to place on the market a
good supply of marketable hay is not
indulging in speculation in the least,
for government figures combined with
unusual r.a2t ar icsas- ahnzu- th Z
hey throughout the entire country.
Ticking into consideration these con-
ditions, 1t does not seem that the
farmer can make any mistake by plan
ming to utilize his corn in the form of
fodder for rough forage, and to sell
his marketable hay.

VELVET BEAN.

c. B. Waller, Athol, KY. writes us
as follows: "Can you give me some
information on the velvet bean-that
is. VIII it mature in this locality, how
should II be planted, and what fertil-
izer will give best results?"
Inc velvet bean is trailing legume,
the vines growing from ten to fifty
manuring and FORAGE plant has been
discovered within the last two years
Experiments at the Alabama, Florida,
Louisiana and Mississippi experiment
stations show that for the lower half of
the Gulf States, the velvet bean is
equal in value to the cowpea and for
some purpose is much better. North
of latitude 80 degrees, the seed will
seldom mature.
The experience thus far obtained
with this crop would indicate that the
best method of growing velvet beans
is TO plant them in every third row of
the corn field. Skip every third row
when planting the corn early in March.
The corn must be planted early enough
so that the beans may be planted suf-
ficiently ezrly to mature seed and at
the same time not interfere with the
cultivation of the corn.
Plant two or three beans in hills
about three feet apart on the skipped
rows about April 10. The vines will
not interfere with the cultivation of
the corn until it is time to give it the
last working.
The rows on which the velvet beans
are planted should be fertilized with
about 100 pounds per acre Of a mixture
of 500 pounds of acid phosphate and
500 pounds OF kainit
It Is seldom advisable to save the
vines for hay II is a grazing crop.
The beans are often harvested and fed
to stock, but 1t generally pays better
to allow all kinds of stock to Craze off
the beans and vines. Turn the stock
in after the first heavy frost in the
fall
The result obtained at the Alabama,
Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi sta
tons show the great value of velvet
beans as green manure. Even where
the seed will not mature, no better
leguminous crop can be grown to in.
