1t requires intelligent management
to keep all hands busy during the hay
harvest without allowing them to be
idle at any time and without sub
jecting any of the hay to unnecessary
exposure
Unlike other farm operations, hay
making cannot be followed along def
initely laid-out plans.
Weather is the great controlling
factor in hay-making Hay will not
dry in a specified time even without
rain. A cool day will not allow hay
to dry half as fast as the next day
with warm wind blowing
Dry ground is a great aid in drying
moisture from green hay above it,
but If we wait for the dry ground
we are apt to be caught by the next
storm
Ordinarily we must begin cutting
as soon as one storm has cleared up
and we see indications of fair wealth
er.
Every precaution should be used
to prevent undue exposure of the hay
to dry weather.
The hay tedder hastens the drying
to marvellous degree, especially if
the hay has already been caught by
the rain in the swath and hay that
is heavy and green. A hay tedder
will soon pay for itself if rightly used.
The side delivery rake is. another
valuable implement for stirring the
hay as well as gathering it in open
windows in which the drying may
go on without causing the leaves to
become brittle and fall off. Unless
allowed to become too dry, they draw
large quantities of moisture from the |
stems, beside they are the most val
liable part of the hay and must go

Results of Vaccination.

The Kansas experiment station has
received reports of the result of vac
cinating $4,000 hogs against cholera
In herds infected before vaccination
70 per cent of the hogs survived. In
herds not infected before vaccination
SO per cent survived. This shows
very clearly chat the time to use the
cholera serum is before the disease
hits the herd.
The losses from swine disease this
year promise to be much less than
that, but there Is a good deal of it
scattered over the corn belt and all
precautions should be taken. Serum
is available now in nearly all impor-

After preaching twice at the Eleventh

In Atlanta yesterday morning. Sunday

At the Biiou

we speak of a thing as wonderful
when it awakens our surprise and ad-
miration; as marvellous when 1t is so
much out of the ordinary course of
things as to seem quite increditable.'
Even the word marvellous seems in
adequate to fully express the bewilder-
ling array of tricks illusions and
scientific problems presented last night
at the Bijou by the great Thurston,
acknowledged to be the greatest ex-
ponent of magic and mystery of the
Ipresent day. Every feature of the per-
formance whether bordering on the
ridiculous or rising to the sublime was
the work of an artist, or rather of
genius, for Mr.. Thurston is the origina-
tor and inventor of almost every act
he presents.
An audience that almost called for
the IS. r. o. sign greeted Thurston
at the initial performance and from
the start to the finish seemed to tnor-
oughly enjoy the show. Peals of
ment were frequently heard all over
the mouse. Inefe were no tlfeSOme
waits or delays. for before the audi
Ience had recovered from their surprise
lat some bewildering mystery. Thurs
ton was on the stage presenting an
Iother novelty. He has an attractive
personality and IA line of talk that adds
greatly TO the enjoyment of the per-
formance and keeps things moving
from the rise of the curtain to the
finish.
There is so much merit in all his acts
that it Is difficult to specialize on any.
Among the most marvellous was "The
deviation of Prince Karnac," a daring
and bewildering illusion, that of sus-
pending a young woman in midair. A
reclining Juno defyng human en-
durance; Abbotts spirit pictures; the
great automobile mystery with an I'M
expected termination; the Lady and the
Lion. the Bank of Bungalow; the Phan-
tom piano, and the closing act, The

ling illusions ever attempted

OAKLEY WANTED THE
BANNER CONTRACT
THE BEST EVER MADE
Continued From Page one,

ment for the Banner contract there hay
ing been no argument whatever between
any official of the company and convict
bureau
Mr.. Gibson declared that Oakley told
him he understood that the Tennessee
company was going to discontinue the
use of state convicts. 1t was also un-
dersiood according to the witness, that
the Pratt Consolidated Coal company was
to get convicts not familiar with mining.
Lather the witness said Oakley told hira
the Tennessee company had ignored his
letters and that he thought he would
transfer the convicts. From that COM
pany to the Banner mines. He then gave
q detailed account of the making of the
Banner contract J. A. Shook, secretary
and treasurer of the Pratt Consolidated
Coal company, followed Mr.. Gibson on
the stand. The witness said the state
lad rendered him monthly statements
for the hire of convicts at Banner mines
Mr. Shook explained in detail the vari-
Gus items on all of the statements rem

Morgan Funeral Will Be
Held About Date Sched-
uled for Banquet

When Mr.. AIorgan's death was an
nounced yesterday it was believed that
it might interfere with the approaching
visit of George W. Perkins, who is sched-
ued to be the guest of honor at the
Chamber of Commerce banquet April 10.
Nothing was heard from Mr.. Perkins
yesterday, but it was presumed that Mr..
Morgan's remains would arrive in Amer
lea Just about the time Mr.. Perkins
had planned to be in Birmingham. Be
cause of his intimate relations with the
deceased financial leader, it is thought
that Mr.. Perkins will attend the funeral
and that the chances are 1t will prevent
his visit to Birmingham at this time.
Three railroad vice presidents have ac-
oepted invitations to the dinner They
are T. c. Powell of the Queen & Cres-
cent, w. L. Mapother of the Louisville

At the Majestic

Billie Ritchie brought "Around The

yesterday for three performances as the
beginning of a weeks stay and three
packed audiences were delighted.
It is in many ways the same clock

that it ticks just an hour and a half.
While differing entirely from any other
show the Majestic has had, it is excellent

Changes Confirmed

Washington. March 31.--An innova-
ton in the procedure of the interstate
commerce commission adopted at the
suggestion of Commissioner Clements
resulted today in the confirmation of
the adjustment of more than 400
changes in transcontinental rates on
commodities. The advances proposed by
the railroads a few months ago were
suspended. Conferences resulted in an
agreement upon some advances and the
abandonment of others. The commits
sion's decision today disposes of items
left in dispute by permitting some adj

CURRENCY REFORM
TO COME BEFORE
EXTRA SESSION
Half Dozen Bills Ready for
IntroductiOn-Will Not
Be Taken Up in
Detail

Washington, March 31.-Currency rel
form will come informally to the at-1
tention of Congress soon after 1t as-|
sembles next week, notwithstanding theI
efforts of President Wilson and theI
democratic leaders ofythe two houses to-
focus attention upon the tariff during
the early weeks of the extra session.
At least half dozen currency billsl
will be ready for introduction when
Congress meets, 1t is believed and their
appearance in the House and Senate will
mark the beginning of a general decis-
ion of financial reform
Most of the bills now being prepared
represent the views of individual mem
bers, and will be introduced as indi-
vidual bills. Senator owen of Oklahoma
and Representative Glass of Virginia
are working upon measures which prob
ably will be submitted first to the
banking committees of the respective
houses, and made the basis for COM
mittee study
Senator Owen stated today that he
would call meeting of the democratic
members of the Senates new commit
80
late this week. The suggested plan of
currency reform viii not be taken up
in detail at that time, however. Sena-
tor Owen practically has completed
bill representing his views of needed
reform; and it will be submitted to the
committee, and studied with other
measures that come before that body.
Senator Owen has not made public
the details of his contemplated bill,
nor indicated the extent to which 1t
may provide a central agency under
governmental control. The bill pre-
pared by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
and members of the Senate committee
which provides for 20 separate and in
dependent currency associations III the
United States, will be introduced early
in the session.
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts A
republican committee member, will re-
introduce the bill drawn by the ma
tional monetary committee, providing
for a national reserve association. Sen
ator Weeks said today the measure
would be changed in no way from the
form approved by the monetary COM
mission and in which it was introduced

spring fever, poor appetites, pale, sal
low, pimply faces and that tired, drow-
sv. overworlSed feeling remind us of
the urgent need of taking preventive
m mexasures to ward off sickness and give
US energy and good health. At this
son of tile year no one should nee.-
lect taking a good tonic to purify the
blood and build up the body with
strength and energy.
No better tonic can be had than the
good old fashioned one made at home
at small cost by dissolving an ounce of
kardene (Which you can obtain at anv
drug store} in one-half pint alcohol,
adding one-half cupful sugar and hot
water to make a full quart.
A tablespoonful before each meal

Improved Methods of Thin
ming Pointed Out
THEIR ADVANTAGES
Essential Feature of Professor Cooks
Plan Is Later or More Gradual
Where the Early
Crops Are Essential
by c. e. STEWART

Washington. March 31.-(Special.)- J.
A recent issue from the agricultural
department contains an article by o.
F. Cook on "A New System of Cotton
Culture" This new system is tased on
the application of a principle hitherto
not recognized in cultural experiments
the control of the vegetative
branches of the plant by improved
methods of thinning. II advocates
leaving the plants closer together dur
ing the early stages until the stalks
have grown beyond the stage wiere
vegetative branches are produced.
The essential feature of the new sys-
tenn is later or more gradual thinning.
This makes it possible to leave more
plants in the rows than is now custom
ary and yet injurious erowding is
avoided through the SUPPRESSION of the
vegetative branch.
The control or suppression of the
vegetative branches also permits an
earlier development of fruiting
branches and leads to the production
of an earlier crop. In regions where
the period of crop production is lin
tied, either by short seasons or by the
presence of the boil weevil increased
earliness is means of securing larger
yields
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-04-01
Early Crop Essential

In boil weevil infected districts the
early crop is essential to average
yields The bulletin declares to ac-
complish this end thin the plants later
and leave them closer together in the
rows than is ordinarily done now.
Neither of these policies is advisable if
used alone, but they give decided ad-
vantage when properly combined. Keep
ing the plants closer together during
the early stages of growth restricts the
formation of the vegetative branches
and induces an earlier development of
the fruiting branches.
1.-THE first step toward permanent
progress" says Professor Cook, 'in the
new direction is to secure the atten-
tion of the intelligent farmer to the
principle itself so that he can begin

yesterday, his body being discovered
by a maid who went to arrange
the ROOM, says the Journal OF this

those who knew him that he died
from natural causes.
The deceased came here from San
Francisco about three weeks ago
on one of his regular trips to Ne
vada, which he has been making for
the last sixteen years. He was a
piano tuner and was known as one
of the best on the coast, represent
ing the big music house of Sherman
Clay in the coast town.
He came originally from Cleve-

be hoped that there will be a larger
number present.
