INCREASING THE GRASS CROP
Success Of Farmers Directed by De-
partment OF Asrlculture-piore
Acreage TO Hay.

Demonstration work has been. car.
ried on by the department Of agricul-
ture during the last year with a spe-
cial view to tlee production of grass
as a forage crop to carry the increas-
ing number of farm animals. Each of
100 farmers put in an acre of grass
under the direction Of the depart
ment's farm demonstrators. 1t was
found that in most cases there was
cut of hay of two and half to three
tons an acre, enough to carry the ami
mails for the smaller farmers through
the winter. Most of the farmers who
raised hay last year are putting in two
additional acres this year.
This change, which is incident to
breeding more farm animals, will, 1t is
thought, have a decidedly beneficial
effect on the fertility of the southern
lands. 1t also shows the farmers that
they can carry their stock over winter
on homegrown forage and will recon.
cile them to the change from fires

Two Races Compared in Mathematics

HE relative mathematical abilities
Of boys and girls and of the white
race as compared with the black are
among the subjects taken up by the
United States bureau of education.
1t seems to be the general opinion
that the average boy shows more aDil-
ity in mathematics than the average
girl, but also that he does not work SO
faithfully" said the bureau. In a
mixed class this greater ability Of the
boy and the greater faithfulness OF
the girl react most advantageously
on each other.
Another fact that is noted is this:
In elementary algebra the girl does as
good work as the boy; in geometry
not nearly so good. In advanced al
zebra and trigonometry, the boy shows
an ability which is far ahead Of the
girl. Yet, we are free to confess that
ais greater natural abilitysis often
outclassed by the steady, patient en-.
Qeavor of the girl.

TO FOUND NEW CITY OF ZION

Mrs. Jane Dowie, widow OF the
late John Alexander Dowie, first apos-
tie of Zion. is attempting reconstruc-
ton of the Zionist movement in Chi
cago.
Believing herself divinely inspired
to carry out the work her husband
began, Mrs Dowie came to Chicago
last fall and gathered about her the
few remaining members Of the
prophets original flock. An exile from
Zion City and the tabernacles her
husband founded, she planned to re-
build the eNZion congregation with the
aid of Gladstone Dowie, "unkissed"
son of the departed Elijah II.
The younger Dowie was in full
sympathy with the plans Of his
mother, but apparently lacked the
divine inspiration for the task she has
undertaken. He had already resigned
