MUCH FUN
Masons Gather at Sea Breeze Satur- day. For Annual Outing-Day
 Replete With Pleasure.

The committee which arranged for the annual outing of the Fellowcraft associations of St. Johns and Corin- thian lodges. Masons, did itself proud Saturday. The clambake and outing held at Sea Breeze was one of the most enjoyable gatherings of it's kind in the memory of those who attended and the affair was voted a success in every respect. There were all of 200 present. Sports made up the first part of the days program. A six inning baseball game featured the sports program. Mayor, Wilson and Former Mayor Edward T. Buckingham held positions on the opposing teams and added a good deal of rivalry to the contest Fred D. Ives was umpire. He was selected for this position be- cause of his monumental size and strength. His word went, any way, lodge pulled out of the contest one point ahead of St. Johns, the final score being B to 12. Umpire Ives, however, decided that the game was draw because of interference. A large silver cup given as a trophy will be used by both lodges.
 Sam Merritt served the clam bake. To say that it was excellent would be superfluous. It is sufficient to say that Sam Merritt served it. There was plenty for all and much more for those who were a bit aggressive in their ta- ble manners. Everyone was in for a good time, both at the dinner table and on the sports field. Dinner table and formality was done away with to the enjoyment of all. It was a happy gathering about the festive board.
 After the dinner the members and guests patronized the various booths and attractions on the island. They went in small groups and being out for fun found the island just the place to have it.

ONE KIND OF BARLEY.
(Ry Prof. &. A. Moore.)

(By Prof. R. A. Moore.)
The aim Of the grower Of select
barley is to get the entire community
in which he resides interested In
growing select barley instead OF
scrub varieties Thus seedsmen and
farmers can secure this improved seed
barley in limited or carload quantities
at a reasonable increase over the reg
ular general market price OF barley.
By pursuing this method Of dissemina-
ton several select barley centers are
established in each township OF the
barley growing counties where farmers
are able to secure the seed In large or
small quantities near at hand. Farm
ers throughout the state have quickly
awaited themselves of the opportunity
Of securing select seed barley from
the growers or seedsmen. Through
this rapid method Of dissemination
the select barley Is dispiacng the
common varieties until whole COM
munities are now growing this one
breed Of barley to the exclusion OF.
nearly all other varieties.

MARKETING BARLEY.

Barley serves as a ready money
crop for most growers and is usually
put on the market soon after thresh
ing 1t Is not good practice to put
weather beaten or damaged barley on
the market as the price will be cut
severely even though the feeding quail
ity is but slightly impaired. 1t is far
better to use such injured barley on
the farm and secure both feeding and
fertilizing value from it.
Different varieties should not be
mixed when being put on the market
either as seed Or mailing barley
Farmers should grow but one variety
Of barley and that Of the very best
Different varieties of barley when
placed on the mailing floor for sprout
ing terminate at different periods Of
time which leads to positive loss
on mixed types of barley. and CORE

Pillow Coz
The preparation OF the land and
seeding of barley varies widely with
the locality.
Barley is, of course. best adapted
to the cool, moist conditions OF the
north, but may be successfully grown
anywhere in the grain belt. Where 1t
is made main crop. it will pay to
pillow the land. preferably in the fall.
Work up fine seed bed by double
disking the land in the spring and
drill in seed as early as possible.
In the northern zone OF the corn
belt barley can be sown after corn. In
this case the land may be double disk
ed in the spring, narrowed down ana
the seed drilled In. Spring barley Is
also grown to some extent in the corn
belt, often displacing oats. In this
case the above preparation Of soil and
seeding will secure the best and most
economical results.
The machinery requirements for
the barley raiser will vary with the
locality. In general, however. any
man raising small grain should have
a good disk. plow. a smoothing har-
row and drill.

MORE BRAiN-LESs SWEAT.

Abraham Lincoln said 60 years ago
that man was foolish to walk all
over 40 acres when he could raise the
same crop in ten by intensive cult
walton. 1t Is not so necessary that the
farmer should plant more acres or
work harder. but IL Is only common
sense for him to use modern scien'
tific methods instead of his GRANDPA
theirs old rule Of thumb" and his
grandmother's old rule of the dark
of the moon" The modern idea Is to
save work and get larger results; to
better the quality and to make more
money. If every farmer should grade
and select his seed should grade and
clean the grain which he markets. and
should feed the screenings on the
farm, the price Of every grain would
go up and stay up. because the In
creased quality would be worth the
money. and when the poor grades
were not marketed there could never
be glut of the market

Break the lime into rather small
Jumps. Place in kettle and Stake it
with hot water. Make a smooth

this to the lime as shaking COM

the fifty gallons of water, and enough
more as needed from time to time
during the boiling to keep the guam
tity up to fifty gallons. Do not let
it drop more than an inch below the
fifty gallon mark at any time. Dash
little cold water into the kettle to
stop the boiling for a moment while
measuring. Keep well stirred to
break up Jumps and prevent caking
on the sides of the kettle. Boil Wig
orously from forty-fve minutes to
one hour or till the sulphur is all dis
