TITLES IN GERMANY.
Even "Head Billposter's Daughter"
Has Handle to Name.


Has Handle to Name.
They take titles seriously in Germany.
Almost any one may have one. but it
must be the one that exactly describes
him. no matter how long and cumber-
ouS-indeed, the longer the better. the
Germans seem to think. The New York
Sun quotes an address that it declares
is probably written thousands of times
a week in Germany. for it is a courtesy
due to Il sort of official whose rank is
far below that of Il minister of state:
Highly reverenced Mr.. Real privy
Councillor, highly to be reverenced Mr..
President"
The title councillor has four degrees,
thus: Positive councillor; comparative,
higher councillor; Superlative, privy
councillor: extra Superative. real privy
councillor. Then. to complicate matters
there are hundred or more councillors,
such as councillors of legation. council
ors of state. sanitary councillors. forest
councillors and town police councillors.
Titles Of another class have to do
with the wearerS occupation. Thus a
Munich newspaper records the death
of Frau So-and-So. wife of the "ROyal
Court theater color grinders assistant"
Bavarian newspapers used to print no.
tees. inserted by the persons them
selves, of the hetrothal Of So-and-SO,
royal supernumerary hay binders
daughter" or of So-andso. head bill
posters daughter.
Much can be said in favor Of the rigid
German system Of titles. For instance.
in Germany when Il man takes the pre-
fix doctor" he has n right to DO so.
The title cannot be bought, begged or
assumed You may be sure that a
doctor has won his title in uniyer-
sity of standing and renoWn.
SO. too. professors are such by right.
They are quasi officials of the state or
the city. The title cannot be assumed
offhand by bootbacks or chiropOdists.

tain extent these cards showing ac-
curate pictures of places of interest
are valuable, but a good many times
John or Maud buys Il postal showing

easily possible to sell hay at profit
and produce more of it by reason of
animals being kept and at the same
time full complement of animals may
be on the farm and he fed all the hay
or hay equivalents they need, says
correspondent of the Country Gentle
man.
The highest priced market hay is tim
Othy. which is also one of the least
valuable hays for farm feeding. For
feeding either horses or COWS | conSid-
Ell clean bright corn slower quite as
valuable rs timothy hay. Therefore
when / harvest crops of timothy hay
! plan not TO feed it, but to sell it and
provide substitutes.
In order Ia secure the greatest feed
ing value from my corn slower | cut
and shock the corn while the fodder
is still green--n fact. as soon rs the
ears are we'll glazed. Horses may be
wintered in this slower without any
hay and with really less grain than
when good timothy hay is fed. AS
soon as the ears are sufficiently cured
and dry to he cl'hbed safely the shocks
of corn are husked the slower tied into
convenient bundles and placed in large
shocks to lie stored later in the barn or
ricked near the barn for convenience in
feeding
Cowpeas and soy beans may be sown
for hay rs late as the LIST of June. and.
f.,I-
able from two to three tons of hay per
acre may be harvested. This hay.
though having no sale value. has
feeding value far in excess Of the best
timothy.
Frequently when | have harvested a

order to conserve moisture About the
middle of June the seed terminates

My plan is at the last working of the

There was young fellow Che was

SECRET SERVICE WORK.
Following Trail Of Counterfeiter of
One Cent Pieces.


Regardless of the fascinating sound
of the term secret service" much of
the work is just routine, like running
Il laundry or anything else. Several
years ago. when William Flynn, the
new secret service head. was first
placed in charge of the New York of
fee. one of his tasks was to find the
man who was putting out lot of
counterfeit pennies. At first thought
there wouldn't be much in counterfeit
ing such Il low value coin, but for IA
cents one can buy enough copper to
make 40 pennies, and they are easy
to pass. for nobody will haggle over a
mere penny.
Flynn. waving the use of false
Whskers, crypto%ramS and "hiStS.'
simply applied common sense to the
problem before him. First he had the
counterfeit pennies aSSayed. Then he
wrote to all the concerns in the coun-
try manufacturing copperpate and
asked for Il statement of the alloy they
used. Each plant had its own formula,
and only one used the same alloy that
Flynn had found in the bad cent. He
obtained from that concern a list of
all the shops in New York to which
they sold plate copper.
After inquiring from each of these
shops about the various people they
sold to Flynn learned that a certain
peddIer had bought Il suspciously
large amount of copper. The dealer
couldn't recall the mans name, but his
recollection was that it was painted
on the side OF his wagon and began
with "W.''
Flynn next got Il list of all the ped
dlers that had ever operated in that
part of town. and one name, Weiner,
attracted him. The next job, of
course. was TO find Weiner. He lOcat-
ed Il shop Wciner had once occupied,
though at the time of the quest it was
Il bakeShOp. Flynn went down into
the basement and in digging about the
dirt floor with his shoe Wnearthed a
couple of pennies. Then he knew he
was on the right trail. Within day
or so he had his man Weiner who in
due season was sent to prison.

Profitable Than Others.

The results of cooperative COW test
ing lin Minnesota during 1912 have been
announced.' One of the most remark
able comparisons was that between
silage fed herds and herds which re-
ceived no silage.
The silage fed herds which We're test
ed for milk and butter fat production
were twelve in number and included
216 COWS. The average net profit in
the silage fed herds was $:3:3.04 per
COW
There were sixteen herds with a to-
tai of 239 cows. which, did not receive
silaSe. and the net profit of these ami
mails was $22.9S per COW.
In round numbers the COWS receiving
slage made a profit of slightly over
$40 each more than the COWS which
did not receive silage.

the Formaln Treatment.
A reader of the Rural New Yorker
says: Last year was my first expe-
rience raising potatoes put too
much green manure on the ground,
and it left my seed slightly scabby.
Will you please tell me what formalin
| can USE how long to soak them and
whether to. soak before or after cut
ting? | sprayed last yedr with bOre,
deaux mixture and have not found one
rotten potato from my early seed. Is.
it really necessary to spray for early
blight. or is it just as harmful as late
bli9ht?"
The answer is Use formalin or for
maldehyde Ghe same thing, one pint
to about thirty gallons of water 1t
will dissolve at once. Soak before
cutting the seed. We like to rinse off
the potatoes with clean water first as
this leaves less mud in the solution
and You are more likely to do a good
job
There are various methods of Oper
atirg. Some growers make a tank
and put the solution into it. Then the
potatoes are dumped in and left there
about two hours then shoveled out
and dried Others put The solution in
barrels. 80
Keep the potatoes in sacks and put
sacks and all down into the barrel of
liquid 1t remains. two hours and then
is lifted out and held above the barrel
until the liquid runs back Any plan
will answer provided the seed is held
in the solution for about two hours
This will kill most of the germs OF
scab on the seed.
