MORE ABOUT INCREASED WHEAT YIELD
FROM PROPER PREPARATION OF THE SOIL
Seed Beds Double Disked Then Flowed Yielded Eleven Bush
els More to the Acre than Fields that Were Not
Disked, Say the Experts at the
State Agricultural College

by L. z. Call, Professor of Agron
~ ISKING is a desirable method
Of preparing the seed-bed
when used in connection with
blowing, but it is a poor method when
used alone several seasons in sue
cession. In this trial the plot that
had not been plowed for three years
but where the seed-bed had been pre-
pared by disking just before planting,
produced only 91s bushels of wheat.
The average yield for the last three
years from seed-beds similarly pre-
pared has been only 6 % bushels 20
the acre. This yield is not sufficient
to pay for the cost of production. On
lighter types of soil, in the central
and western parts of the state, this
method has produced satisfactory
crops of wheat for a single season,
but when the method is followed year
after year it cannot be expected TO
equal blowing or any other good meth
cd of preparation.
Two plots were double disked July

Problem Of Feeding the Help in Large Hotel

GGTIE problem of feeding the help in

the head of one of Washington's
largest hotels the other day. THE
question is now being considered by
many of the large hotels in this coun-

salary of the employees and not to fur

regular meals for them.
I'm many large hotels there is
class of help that is fed in the kitchen,
while other employees have special
dining rooms. The chambermaids,
bellboys, porters. scrubwomen and all
employees of the lower grade are fed
usually from the helps kitchen. One

two leaves known of the so-called sec
ond edition OF the 'Lyf Of our Lady
by John Lydgate, printed by Caxton
about 1884 in folio
Some time ago the librarian Of the
St. Bride Typographical Library, Mr.
R. a. Peddie. discovered among a col
lection of pamphlets and other papers
originally the property, of William
Blades a bundle Of early printed
leaves and fragments Of leaves wrap
ped in leather binding from which
the boards had been removed On in
Festigation it was discovered that the
whole of the printed matter was from
Cations press and the binding itself
was from his workshop. There were
thirty-eight leaves Of the Boethius,
printed about 147S, and there appear
ed to be little doubt that the binding
originally belonged to the Boethius
and that the careful disintegTatioa of
the boards had resulted in the remain
ing fragments.
Among these fragments these six
copies of the two leaves before re-
ferred to were discovered. One leaf
was still pasted on the binding. The

mariners many years ago.
A year ago the scheme Of a local
land company to acquire the light
house was defeated by the hue and cry
that was raised by citizens Of Scituate
and patriotic societies all ovor the
country. In the town meeting last
March the town raised $1,000 for the
purchase OF the lighthouse.
The story Of the heroic Bates girls
may be found in many Of the histories
of the Bay state. The two young
daughters of Aaron Bates, the light
keeper, lived with their father on the
then lonely strip of beach half a mile
from the village of Scituate.
One day when their father was in
his fields a mile from the lighthouse

taking from the wall a fife and drum
which had been carried by their grand
father in the revolution and on which
they had frequently practiced, they got

Jackson Monument Guns Are Bronze SmoothbOres

uTITHIN the circular fence which
w girdles the green mound on which
the Jackson monument stands in La
fayette square are four old field guns
pointing outward from the corners of
the white stone pedestal. They are
slightly depressed.
The guns are bronze, muZzle-load-
ing smoothbores, with a caliber of
about two inches. They are crusted
with the gray-green which comes to
cannon with age and lends charm to
antique ordinance
The carriages have been freshly
painted, the wood gray and the iron
parts black. The carriages are well
preserved 1t seems impossible that
they can be the original carriages Of
these guns. The wheels have wooden
hubs as big as beer kegs, with four
teen spokes and seven felloes. The
lynch pin through the spindle is of a
pattern that was superseded several
years ago by the new artillery hub
cap fastening. The elevating screws,
square wooden axIes, square timber
trails, the brackets for trail hand
spike, the sings for rammer STATS and
the trunnion seats and fastenfngs
seem to mark these gun carriages as
of the Civil war type of field artiI-
lery.

southeast and the northwest corners
