at the northwest corner Of Maryland
avenue and 7th street southwest. Behind
them is an old and weatherbeaten wooden
structure formerly dwelling. but which
is now used both for dwelling and bust
ness.
These old lockwood trees are the sur.
vivors of a double hedge that led from
Maryland avenue to the front door Of the
old home. Probably a gravel walk ran
between the rows of green and hardy
bushes. What was the garden in which
these box trees grew and which prob
ably contained also lilac bushes, crepe
myrtle, phlox and other garden favorites
of that time is now bricked over. FORM
ing wide pavement from street to
house. The fence that surrounded the
garden is. of course. long gone. 1t gives
one a sense of loneliness and conscious
ness of the fight of time to see those
ancient garden growths. ragged and
neglected, still holding on to life out on
a public sidewalk.
That part of the city where Maryland
avenue eth and C streets meet has un-
dergone marked change since Ith
street was depressed, and the railroad
tracks elevated and the South Wash
ington passenger station built. The tri-
angular reservation at Maryland avenue
and street has been beautified with
lawn. shrubbery and flowers.
An Unusual View.
THERE is a point on 7th. street west
where that noisy. granite paved and
shady. tree-lined thoroughfare crosses
the Mall, whence may be obtained an
unusual view of the Capitol. The point
is a trif1e south Of midway between B
street north and B street south.
From this place Of view the lower half
Of the great white building across its
whole west frontage is hidden by inter-
vening trees and the upper half shines
white in the sun. The trees In the Boz
tanic Garden and in the Capitol grounds,
foreshortened by distance. give the effect
of a hedge Of foliage half masking the
building.
The House wing seems to be topped by
the gold dome OF the Library OF Con-
gress. A line from the spectators eye
to the Library crosses the south wing OF
the Capitol and the space between tho
Capitol and the Library being shortened
by distance. the effect produced Is that
Of a shining gold and green-bronze su-
perstructure on the House Of Represen-
tatives.
A stranger would very likely suspect
that the Capitol had undergone a marked
change since its latest photograph was
made.

eta, Okla, came near being decapi-
tated while driving to Muskogee in
his motor car. Accompanied by 4
young lady he was driving to Musko-

and while running about fifteen miles
an hour ran into a sagging telephone
wire that caught him just over the
eye cutting deep cash and severely
bruising him about the head. The
young lady threw up her arm just in
time TO save her head and the wire
slipped over If the wire had been
four inches lower, enough to havo
caught McCready under the chin, he

HARVESTING kGFFIR CORN.
Special Agent Graham Tells How to
Best save This important Crop.

If stalk and fodder is to be pre-
served, the row minder is the proper
harvesting machine to use. After
cutting with the row binder put in
shocks of from twelve to fifteen
bundles to the shock; let it stand and
cure, from 80 to 90 days; then if
there be sufficient shelter, haul and
pack the crop inside. If no shelter,
stack in long ricks near the feed lots,
in the center of the rick, and after
the rick is full, cap with any kind
Of hay. sorghum or grass to protect
from rain. The grain may then be
fed from one end as neeoed If there
be no row binder available, simple
and cheap implement known as the
slide cutter is a good harvesting ma
chine to use. The next best way to
harvest is a good sharp cane knife
or hoe. Hands may then follow and
stack in ricks where it should re-
main to cure for 30 to GO days, then
to be hauled and ricked at the feed
lots.
If the grain is cut with the pur-
pose of feeding the stalk it should be
harvested just before the grain is
fully matured, say when in the stiff
dough stage, and if desired to harvest
the grain or heads and leave the
. stalks in the field, the crop should
remain in the field until fully ma
tured in fact as long as the grain
remains standing upright without
damage.
The best harvesting machine is IA
simple, and cheap implement known
as the Header, costing about $4,000
and is attached to the side of the
wagon bed, with sprocket attached
to the wagon wheel, and cuts off the
heads of the grain and conveys into
the wagon bed.
The next best plan is to cut by
hand, with sharp pocket knife, one
hand cutting two rows and throwing
into the wagon.
If the grain is not thoroughly cured
care should be taken not to place or
stack in too great a bulk, for it may
damage.

Special Agent.
