THE AVENUE OF PALMS.

What does Cameron County think Of
the idea suggested in the communication
in yesterdays Herald suggesting a palm
drive from Edinburg and Mission to
Brownsville? A palm drive sixty-fve
miles long, is a suggestion that both is
startling and agreeable. There wonld
perhaps be nothing like it in all this big
world. The Herald is a believer from
the beginning, and favors the project OF
hand provided the thing is possible.
and provided it would not cost too much
Its cost would have to be rather heavy
indeed. if it exceeded its value. As m at
traction it would be worth much to the
valley-no one can say how much. For
the very JOY it would bring to the PEG
pl of the VALLEY it would be worth much.
Doubtless it would be long in the max
ing. for the palm tree does not grow to
perfection in a night. Nevertheless give
the avenue to the valley if it can be done.
The oldest patriarch in this region corld
well afford his share of the expense, and
he could afford with his W hands 10
plant as many trees as he could OBTAIN.
1t would be his gift to posterity. Long
before the trees come to maturity lie
would moulder away in his grave. but
what then? 1t is not so sure he codld
never come back in the spirit and enjoy
the beauty he had wrought. In any case
most men should be glad to have the
world thus much the more beautiful be
cause he had lived in it. Let us do this
great work-if possible.

THE SWEET GIRL GRADUATE.
Bad Taste 10 be 0ver-Dressed Says
Lillian Russell.

Lillian Russell is coming to An
napolis next Monday to the Colonial
Theatre with a mission, one tea-
ture of which is to persuade women
that it is exceeding bad taste to wear,
at any social function, "a dress worth
a million dollars. -
Whether Miss Russell will special
ize OIL Annapolis, because OF the
many social functions in this city, to
which magnificent jewel displays are
incidental, remains to be seen. She
maintains there is fine art in the
wearing of jewelry; so much so that
the woman who is careless in this re-
spect adds years to her appearance,
not considering that she invites criJi-
cism for bad taste; even vulgarity.
There is no better lesson in this
regard than the young girl graduate
of a school, Miss Russell contends.
"What sweeter picture can be con-
iured than that of the girl graduate,
simply attired in white gown, with
but one or two pieces of jewelry, and
a flower. Com pared to this picture,
the woman in a million dollar gown
has no place.
AS contrast to the very valuable
gown, Miss Russell displays dress
which shows how girl of limited in
come may appear at any social func :
tion, and be we'll dressed in business,
for but $22. This requires the eS-
ercise of ingenuity as we'll as of eco
nomical principles.

WOMAN MAKES FLIGHT.
Mrs. Miller Takes Air Trip for
Professional Work.

AS briefly stated in Wednesdays
Capital. Mrs. Charles X. Miller, OF
Lesiie's Weekly staff, made q thrill
ing flight in hydroplane, which was
one of her many intert sting expert
ences during a six-week trip in Pan
anna, Cuba and Jamaica, from which
she has just returned.
The fight was made in the hydro
plane Of Ensign Victor Webster, one
OF the most daring aviators Of the
North Atlantic fleet, which was en-
gagged in winter practice at Canal
nero, Cuba, where the ascent was
made. In recodnting her experience
and sensations, Mrs. Miller said that
the only precaution for safety which
she too was to tie rope around her
| skirts, and that she felt no need OF
holding to any support while in the
air.
While running across the water,
Mrs. Miller says the noise Of the mo-
tor was almost deafening, and the
sudden rush of air when the machine
let the water and assembled was
startling, although the sensation pro-
duced was pleasant. When the ma
chine had attained height of about
$50 feet, Mrs. Miller took number
of photographs. The view from this
height was splendid, she says, but
not unlike that obtained from the top
of high building. because one mast
look from the side of the machine and
not straight down.
The object of Mrs. Miller's trip
was TO obtain mate rial for a ssrie s
of articles which she will shortly
write, illustrated by the photographs
which she has taken. While in Pan
anna, which she has visited several
times before, at various stages of
the building of the canal, she accom-
panied Col. William j. Seibert, engi-
neer of the Atlantic Division, in his
inspection tour, and passed through
the completed Cation locks in a row.

of the first towing machine which
had just arrived Of these machines
there will be four, two at each end.

the canal. According to Mrs. Miller,
it will take from ten to twelve hours
to make the canal trip.

Old Settlers Picnic

The fifth annual picnic of the
Old Settlers Association of East
ern Adams County has been set
for Thursday of next week, June
10Th. as announced in last week S
columns.
However, those in charge wish
to announce several ra d c a
changes from the statements
heretofore made: The picnic will
as in all past years be under the
direct charge and care of the as
sociation officers. AS picnic
grounds the grounds close to
Showers postoffice have been +, :
jected, and the site chosen will
be little over half a mile east of
the postoffice, on the Ed Kirk
ranch, by the Cedar river.
Every effort is being made to
arrange for the picnic in a man
ner as to make it an attractive
and pleasant outing, easily the
equal of the picnics of preceding
years. Sports and pastimes of
all sorts will not be lacking to
fill out the whole day; there will
be bowery dancing in the even
ing. A program of addresses by
prominent speakers is being al.
ranged, the speeches being along
the lines of interest to agricultu! =
al pursuit and calling.
The committee in charge wish
to impress their friends that the
picnic has not been exploited or
farmed out to anyone. But on
the other hand every effort will
be made to conduct it as usual
under wholesouled principles of
rural good will and hospitality.
Friends from distance and pee .
pie from town are especially
urged to make it a day of pleas
ure and commingling with the
rural people out in the open.

A Few Suggestions to Breeders
of Pure Bred Cattle

Don't allow the young bulls to
run with the herd after they be-
gin to be troublesome, but take
them up and give them a grain
ration. This will hasten growth
and retain the calf fat.
Don't allow young bulls to 90
until they become unruly, but
break to the halter when quite
young A few lessons in the
halter will soon be learned and
never forgotten.
Don't feed your young bulls
on corn entirely, as it is too
carbonaceous ration Balance
with oilmeal, cottonseed meal.
alfalfa, or clover hay. Better
growth of the calf will be Sc
cured, and you will secure a
greater feeding value out f the
corn.
Don't feed an army of lice,
whether the chicken louise or the
regular cattle louise, as no ami
NAL can thrive properly when
louzy.
Don't allow the horn to grow
faster than the body and then
attempt to deceive some pros
pective purchaser by cutting off
the ends, but feed to keep the
body up with the horns. Trim
ming the horn can always be
detected.
Don't half feed the pure. bred
calf, but remember the improvers
of the breeds were heavy feed
ers. If your herd is to be up to
the standard they must be crowd

Farm Notes
Sijage Juice

To determine whether silage
juice ''eats up" the walls OF
cement silos is the object of ar
important experiment just con.
cluded by Guy f. Youngberg,
assistant chemist of the Expert
ment Sta tion at Brookings.
Juice which was collected from
cement silos last February was
found to contain substances dis
solved from cement, especially
calcium. The juice had been in
the silo about five months. The
acidity of this juice was also
found to be one third less than
normal, showing that this amount
of the acid had teen neutralized.
Mr.. Youngberg allowed pieces
of cement block to stand for
fifteen days in a definite volume
of newly expressed sllage juice.
The acidity of the juice had de-
creased appreciably while the
blocks showed a dissolution of
ive-tenths of one per cent
in weight.
Concerning the fear that per-
haps cement should not be used
in silo construction. Mr.. Young
berg says: However, in taking
note of a number of factors that
enter in, such as the contact with
the walls of only a part of all
the juice in the silo, the slow rate
of diffusion through the corn
silage, the accumulation of juice
at the bottom of the silo, the
period during which a silo is
filled, etc., one must not be too
hasty in drawing a conclusion
against the cement building.
Our conclusion is that after
considering all the factors as we'll
as observing the condition of the
silos on the College farms which
have been in use now for two
and three years, that although
silage attacks the walls it will
take at least 15 to 20 years to
render a silo useless on that ac-
count. The deterioration will
take place mainly at and near
the bottom where a water-logged
or juice-logged condition exists
at depth of 5 to 10 feet. Re-
coating or plastering with cement
or other material could be re-
sorted to every few years. .
