The theory has been advanced that
the doctor in his hurry to cross the
track stumbled over a switch and
was thrown to the, tracks where he
lay unconscious until the trains
passed by. His body was found less

Ida Tarbell holds that women can
better conditions and lower The cost
Of Mvi-g by changing their attitude
toward dress. She points ont that the
instinct for adornment was once
quite as evident in male attire as in
female. Men have given m most Of
their ornaments. women cling to
thoirs. Tha adoption Of as rational
and economical standards Of clothing
among women as now prevail among
men would save enormous sums per
year.
True, without doubt but practically
unimportant Women will not adopt
masculine pIainness Of dress-for men
won't let them. It would be a drah
world indeed If ladies took 70 plain
blacks. grays. blues and browns az
fected By their brothers and husbands
IN sheer hunger for q bit Of bright
ness and gayety. men would 60 back
to crimson knee breeches and EN-
br0idered purple cioaks.
Tn one point. however Miss Tarbel
is correct. Without any loss Of rea
beauty in dress. women can end th'
"sge Of chiffon and bring back th'
era Of substantial fabrics That would
be reform enough FOR one generation

RECALLS LITERARY MYSTERY
Rev. Mr.. Wolfe, Author Of "5uriaI Of
Sir John Moore" Buried at
Queenstown.

A literary mystery Of hundred
years ago is recalled by the special
centenary number, recently issved, Of
the Newry Telegraph, an Ulster
tri-weekly. In its pages April 10,
1917, under the simple head of Poe
try" appeared what Byron called, the
most perfect ode of the language"
The Burial of Sir John Moore" By
ron or Campbell or any of the others
to whom this poem was variously
ascribed would doubtless have been
proud to claim it. But the author was
the obscure curate of Ballyclog, in
Tyronne, Rev. Charles Wolfe, and
the fame of the piece was but a pos
thumous fame for him. Not until his
death, Of consumption, in 1923, at the
early age of thirty-two, did the author
ship become known to the world. And
Wolfe, who wrote much other verse
of merit is remembered only by that
one poem, which sprang from the col
umns of provincial newspaper to
universal recognition in the big world
of letters.-London Chronicle.

Profitable Type.

large milk wells, large crooked milk
veins and good-sized teats.
Her head should be clean and an
gular in appearance, with the eyes
standing out prominently. The neck
should be rather long and lean in ap-
pearance. The shoulders pointed and
the backbone rather prominent The
skin should be loose and soft to the
touch. In selecting herd bulls either
mature animals which have already
demonstrated their worth as sires or
younger animals from high-testing
dams and sires only should be used.
The best and surest results will al
ways follow the use of a mature sire
which has sired heifers with good
records. A good dairy bull should be
kept until he is twelve or fifteen
years old; in fact, as long as he is a
sure sire Real good sires are so rare
that when we do find one he should
die only of old age. All breeders of
dairy cattle should secure yearly tests
on each and every COW in the herd.
Shorter tests do not really mean very
much. 1t is the COW that stays by her
job that is really valuable.

limind Sandy Soils.

Lime may improve loose sandy soils
by making them more compact and
more retentive Of moisture. For this
purpose some form of carbonate of
lime is usually recommended, and in
much smaller quantities than for clay
soils. Clay soils will stand more lime
than sandy soils. The Improvement
of sandy soils will often be much
greater If the lime is applied to a
green crop turned under.
Lime hastens the conversion of the
vegetable matter into humus, and
this with the lime helps to fill the
open spaces between the sand grains.
1t is claimed by those who have given
much attention to light sandy soils
that there are no other types of soils
that will respond quite so readily to
lining, provided the necessary vege-
table matter is supplied in NJ form
of a green cover crop turned under.

TESTING GARDEN SEED
Failure of Crop Often Attributed
to Poor Stand
Vitality or terminating Power Inn
paired by Various Causes, Such
as Lack of Maturity, Improper
Storing or In Curing.

Very often the cause of a crop fail
No matter how good the soil, the
seed, the season, or the cultivation, If
there is poor stand, the yield is de-
creased. A poor stand, writes S. Van
Smith in Farm News, requires about
as much time, work and expense in
cultivation as a good one.
This is true in gardening as we'll as
In other lines of crop growing.
An important factor in the cause of
poor stands is poor seeds. Seed may
have its vitality or terminating pow
er impaired from variety OF causes,
such as lack of maturity, improper
curing, or storing under unfavorable
conditions. Very often the seed has
spent itself terminating before it is
planted, or perhaps it is too cold.
To avoid poor stands, seeds should
be tested before planting. This is a
very simple operation and requires
but few minutes. There are several
simple methods of testing seeds,
probably most of which will answer
tue purpose.
One of the simplest and quickest
ways is to test between blotting pa
per. First, count out 100 seeds of the
kind to be tested, taking them just as
they come, and not picking out the
best-looking ones. Scatter the seeds
between two pieces Of blotting paper
from to inches square, and place
in a common chint plate, and turn
another plate bottom side up over the
first. If pasteboard plates can be
had, they are better, especially if a
large number of samples are to be
tested
In this case all the plates contain
ing samples of seed can be stacked
up, each plate being placed right side
up upon the one beneath. This
makes each plate a cover for the one
beneath it, and holds the blotting
paper down closely to the seeds, pre-
venting too rapid drying out.
The seeds should be placed in the
living room to secure a temperature
favorable to termination. Care should

be taken that the seeds are not kept
too wet, as termination takes place
more readily under barely moist con,
dtions. Strength Of such germina'
ton should be noted, for it is not
enough that a seed germinate. 1t
should germinate strongly to be a
good seed. Seeds which germinate
weakly in such tests may not be
strong enough to make a good plant
under field conditions.
If molds form quickly on the seeds
they are likely to be old stock.
If 100 seeds are taken, the number
that germinates can be taken as the
percentage of termination. If scant,
the seed should not be planted. If
good. or Indifferent, it may be
planted, making the proper allowance

JUDGING THE VALUE OF EGGS
Difference in Color Is Merely lndi-
cation of Strain of the Bird and
Nothing Else.

1t is a curious fallacy that the
brown egg is better than the white.
The difference in color is merely the
indication of the strain of the bird
and nothing else, says a leading au-
thority.
1t is q fact that, generally speaking,
brown eggs are preferred over white
ones, and dealers have learned to ca
ter to supply this demand at small
cost. If their customers want brown
eggs, they supply them as long as
they have them in stock, and then
color the white ones to fill out
1t is a very easy matter staining a
white egg beautiful delicate brown
by dipping it in weak coffee or an
sell just as readily and please the
customers as well as though they had
bought genuine brown eggs.
There is quite a difference. how
ever, in the lucrative value of very
light colored yolks and those which
have a rich reddish yellow color. The
pale yolk indicates poor feeding and
bad conditions, but the reddish, yellow
yolk indicates that the hens have
been fed on the right kind of rations,
and are therefore better food.
Iron in the food gives color to the
yolk of the egg, and anaemic persons
whose diet embraces eggs should al
ways select those of the rich reddish
color, because they contain more iron
than the pale ones.
In judging the value of the egg as
food, therefore, do not take the color
of the shell as an index of it's food
value, but upon it's contents.

Windows In Poultry Houses.

Put the windows in the poultry
houses low down to the floor, so that
the hens will get the benefit of the
light and sunshine when scratching
for their feed.
The trouble with windows set high
up Is that they let the sunshine on
the perches when the hens are on the
floor scratching, and when they are
on the roost the sun doesn't shine, so
there is no equilibrium in such plans.
