property is entirely out of proportion
to the real value, recommended tha'
suit be entered against the various
members of the congregation. Te
government is willing to pay some
thing like $1,000 for the land, but the
owners are holding out for $4,000, Is
they claim that it would fully tass
that amount to purchase another lo'

The new code of letters is intended
TO save time, to shorten words, and to

Prof Scott, a bearded bald-headed,

outlined in detail in lecture before
the Modern Language association in
Mandel hall at the University of Chi

after which he expects to get thou

"The elements of the new alphabet
are so simple that a child easily can
comprehend them in two hours" said
Prof Scott For consonant per-
pendicular stroke, stem or column will
be used, to which may be added hori-
zontal projections at the top. middle
and bottom, while a dash or broken
circle should represent vowels. Each
of these marks will have one meaning
when they are light and another when
they are heavy.
Simple vowels are presented by
dash, while rounded vowels would be
marked by circle with the open VOW

MATURING FOR
GOOD POTATOES
Massachusetts Specialist Differs
From Familiar Methods
IN Fertilizer and
Preparation.

DR.. ]. Fisher of Fitchburg, Mass, is
very successful in growing large crops
of potatoes, and he varies from our
familiar methods principally In his fer
tilizer formula. the preparation and
planting of the seed. Following Is the
formula:
Two hundred and twenty-five pounds
Of sulphate ammonia; $50 pounds nj
trate of soda; $50 pounds South Caro-
lima floats; 450 pounds acid phos-
phate; 45O pounds sulphate of potash;
$50 pounds sulphate magnesia; 200
pounds air-slacked lime; 2,375 pounds
costing about $40.
Two-thirds of this formula will be
spread broadcast and will be narrowed
are treated with the corrosive subli-
mate solution to prevent scab, then
spread in a greenhouse and allowed to
sprout several weeks At planting time
the seed is cut and only one sprout
left on each piece. the surplus sprouts
being purposely broken off. DR.. Fish
er considers a potatoe the size of a
marble. which has been started in this
way and all but the best sprout
rubbed off, as very good seed
Furrowing out is done with horse
hoe and the seed is planted under a
line, giving perfectly straight rows
and exact distance between plants.
Each seed piece is set upright and
covered with about two inches Of
earth; the remaining third of the fer
tilizer is now scattered in the drill
and covered by running the horse hoe
between the rows. The horse weeder
and cultivator are used so frequently
and thoroughly as to avoid hand hoe
ing.

at the head and foot OF the table. We
omitted soup course and served
meat, salad, dessert and nut courses.

only dishes on the table. On one OF

the dessert and nuts. changes OF plates

Otter Makes Much Trouble.

One of the offers at the London zoe
has discovered how to escape from the
pond. He Chambers up the fence,
jumping in an astonishing fashion.
Various alterations in the fence have
been made, but hitherto all efforts to
keep him a prisoner have been baff1ed
by his ingenuity. The otter is tame,
and has always been caught again
after escaping. Once he came back
and climbed into the pond of his own
accord. He generally makes for the
Regents park canal, but, failing ap-
parently to find fish worth the catch.
Ing therein, inyades the streets OF
Camden town, and is reported to the
society as an escaped wild animal,

designations given to help the OH.

New Alphabet.

horizontal dash, for instance, placed
In front Of the stem would mean
simple vowel, while the back position
would be represented by a vertical
dash and the intermediate position by
an inclined DASH
The alphabet is said to have the ap-
prevail of type manufacturers and
typewriter houses. The system is to
reduce the modern English alphabet
by nine characters and do away with
combinations, which, Prof Scott con-
tends, are cumbersome, wasteful and
complicated and do not express clear
ly the thought of the speaker or
writer"
The design of the new alphabet is
to take the place of the old code, but
no attempt-at least not for a time
Is to be made to adapt it to ordinary
or to stenographic writing.
The professor asks this question:
Since We have devoted-and do de-
yote-so much energy and thought to
time-saving devices, why not save
time in that which would benefit every
man and woman, especially those in
business?"
Prof. Scott argues that his new al
phabet, when firmly established, would
be a hundredfold more beneficial
than even simplified spelling
What tired business man at some
time of the day or other has not laid
down a long letter because the long
words and sentences were firing his
brain?" asks Prof. Scott. What jurist
mas not at some time or other been
entangled In the maze of verbiage I'M
til his eyes swan?
yet all of this could be SO simpli-
ned that writing would take only half
the time that it does with the old
alphabet. We surely need simpli-
he'd method of writing English.
Some will argue that the system /
nave obtained is too complicated for
the lay mind and that it is more or
less of a scientific proposition. To
these critics | will answer that the
elements of the system are simple
far more so than those of our present
language. In the code | offer there
are Two kinds of sounds, voice and
a breath sound, the former being des-
lgnated by heavy stem and the lat
ter by light one.
For instance, a thin perpendicular
Column or stem with dash at the top
OF the stem stands for r as In fat,
which you will see is only sound Of

busy for weeks. Some feeders allow
the sheep to dig them out of the
ground while others dig them for
them. The latter plan is the best.
Many cattle feeders who do not be-
lieye that silage is a good feed will
continue TO stuff their animals with
corn fodder or timothy hay. II
these men would take the pains to
conduct a careful experiment they
would quickly discover that silage
even as a feed would beat corn
fodder.
Silage fed alone is not ideal for fat
.tening steers. 1t contains a large ex-
cess Of carbohydrates and some nitro
gen must be put into the feed to even
it up. Soy beans, clover. alfalfa hay
and cotton seed meal will do this to
perfection.
If you have plenty of COW peas,
clover or alfalfa on the farm, not much
use to spend money ON bran or cotton
seed meal. A little oil cake Is good
at all times.
The best class of dairy cows cannot
return profit unless they have all
the clean and wholesome feed they
can possibly consume at all times
during the winter.
1t is a mistake to keep cows on
scant rations during the winter. The
COW that goes through the winter on
semi-starvation rations suffers a shock
from which her system is very slow
