EARLY ST. PATRICK DAYS.
lreIand's Saint Was Honored Here In
the Colonial DAYS.

The earliest recorded meeting or
Irishmen on American soil to do honor
to st. Patrick was in 1877, when the
members of the Charitable Irish So
ciety of Boston sat down together to
honor the memory Of lreland'S patron
saint. Since then there has been a
continuous series of meetings of vari-
Gus societies, growing in Importance
and in numbers and springing up in
various parts of the country, until to-
day there is scarcely an American
town of size without its organization
to honor the saint and his day.
Many of these gatherings have been
notable ones, acting as milepOStS in the
story of the settlement Of Erin's chill
dren in their adopted country, and have
mrrored the growth in numbers and
standing of Irishmen and descendants
of Ilishmen in American life.
In 1867 ST Patrick's day was cele-
brated by the Irish soldiers stationed
at Fort William Henry, on Lake
George In 1888 similar festivities
were held in Pittsburgh. In 177S the
Irishmen with Washington at Valley
Forge inaugurated a series of meetings,
and three years later George Washing
ton dined with the Friendly Sons of
st. Patrick.

ONE WHO KNOWS BEAMS"
Gives Some Timely Advice on the
Growing Of the Vegetable.


No beans should be sown outdoors
until all danger from frost has gone
and the ground has become thorough
ly warmed. Bean plants are tender,
and the seeds will not terminate in
cold weather. The bush or dwarf va
iieties are usually grown in rows three
feet apart Lima beans should stand
fully six inches apart -Four inches is
sufficient for the other varieties.
a top dressing of chemical fertilizer
is beneficial if applied after the plants
have made their appearance. If you
want tender beans never allow the
pods to attain their maturity, but pluck
them while they are young. Bean pods
must not be pulled off, but must be
carefully picked, because if the root
system of the plant is disturbed the
remaining pods will not ripen.
In the case of the pole beans it is
quite different The hills should be at
least three feet apart and the poles
should be erected before the beans are
planted. The best bean poles are made
of young cedar trees, for they last
longer than any other wood. Plant
ten seeds round each pole. but allow
only the four strongest plants to re-
main. If poles are set in single rows
it is advisable to connect all the poles
with wires on the top so that the bean
vines can run along and form a gar
land effect-Country Gentleman.

ON the United States by bales:

Perhaps the most notable revelation
in this record is the fact that while
the United Kingdom is still the heav-
lest buyer its purchases have increas-
ed in twenty years only little more
than 100000 bales, while Germany's in
crease has been more than 2,OOOOOO
bales Another notable detail is the
expansion Of the cotton manufacturing
industry in Italy and in Japan, espe-
cially in the latter. Other countries
have made appreciate and even strik-
ing gains, but the expansion of Ger
many, of Italy and Of Japan has been
remarkable In these twenty years
the domestic consumption Of this coun-
try has grown from 2,41G,O00 bales to
5,3G7 900, Il gain equaling that of Ger
many and the United Kingdom com
bined.
The worlds total supply of raw cot.
ton for mill consumption is now lit
tie more than 20,000000 bales averag-
ing 500 pounds, quantity nearly
doubling the production OF only ten
years ago. The increase in total out
put has been fairly divided between
the United States and the total Of other
producing countries. On the basis Of
the crop Of 1911, the latest year for
which full returns are available, sup
ply was divided thus: United states,
69.7 per cent of the total; British IN
dia, lib; Egypt, G.j; Russia. -; China,
%; Brazil, IA; all other, 30 per cent
Times may be hard and prices high
the world over. but it is evident that
the producers OF cotton have made two
shirts grow where one grew before.
The greater supply of cotton has met
larger demand, and there has been
increase in prices. The average price
for the last ten years equals the aver
age for the period 1S50G0 and exceeds
that Of any other ten years since 1919

Clean the ASPARAGUS Bed.

If the dried tops of asparagus plants
are not cleared away in the late fall
or early winter they should be cut off
in late March and burned. Though
many growers apply manure to the
bed in fall or early winter, others pre-
fer to do it in the spring. The applica-
ton should be made early in a broad
furrow on each side of the row. The
practice of applying it on alternate
sides of the rows in alternate years
prevents too frequent disturbance of
the roots and is recommended by many
successful growers. In addition to ma
nure however, the application of some
quick acting fertilizer is necessary for
a rapid growth of marketable aspara-
gus in the spring.-Country Gentleman.

PERSiA'S NEW WOMAN.

high heels, a European skirt has taken
the place of the short skirt and narrow

ing abandoned.
One lady tried to introduce an outfit
to take the place of the "chuddur,"
leaving the face heavily yelled, but it
was too revolutionary even for Tehe-
ran, and after being mistaken for the
ex-shah in disguise the wearer revert
ed in disgust to more orthodox clothes.
In her home the new woman offers

TEST YOUR CORN.
Only Way to Tell Whether Seed
will Grow.
SOME SIMPLE DIRECTIONS.
Kernels Which Do Not terminate I'm
der Proper Conditions In Five Days
Are Low In Vitality and Should Be
eiected-Advice on Flowing.

1t is not expensive or difficult to
make a termination test Of corn which
will show whether or not the vitality
is sufficiently good, says a bulletin OF
the Kansas state agricultural expert
ment station. A general test may be
made by removing and placing in
termination tester five or six kernels
from different parts of about 100 rep
resentative ears If more than or 10
per cent of these kernels fail to grow
each ear should be tested before plant
Ing. If the corn is already shelled 100
or 200 average kernels should be taken
for the test. In either case the kernels
for the trial test should be placed i'll
germinator and kept moist and warm.
If the corn is not OF good vitality it
should he discarded. A great many
kinds of termination testers are used
in making Il trial test. The kernels
to lie tested may he placed between
two moist blOtting papers or between
damned cloths and in Il box where they
may he kept warm and moist. At the

end of five days the kernels should
have sprouted sufficiently TO conclude
the test.
ii requires more work to make an
individual ear test. However, when
the general test shows that less than
30 per cent of the kernels grow each
ear 10 be planted should be tested sep
Rrately. \ rrate or box thirty inches
long by twenty inches wide by one 10
three inches deep filled with clean sand
level to the top is convenient for max
ing the test. 1t should be marked off
in two inch squares by fastening
cords or wires both ways across the
top of the box These may he fastened
to small nails or lacks driven on the
edge Of the box two inches apart The
ears to be tested may be laid down
i'm Il long row where they will remain
unIiSturhed till after the test is com
plete. Each ear should have Il num-
her corresponding TO the number of the
square in the tester where the kernels
from that ear are placed.
The operator should commence at
the left of the row with ear No. /, re-
move six kernels two near the butt,
two near the middle and two near the
tip These may be pulled out with the
aid of penknife without injury to the
kernels The six kernels from this ear
should he placed in the sand, tip down
ward. in square No. !. Six kernels
should be taken from ear No. and
placed in square No. in 4 similar
manner and so on. After the gerlnina-
ton tester is full the sand should be
kept sufficiently moist and should be
covered with Il wet cloth to hold the
moisture. The most favorable temper
allure for FORMULATION is from 50 to
80 degrees t. In five days the test
should be complete. All kernels which
have not terminated in this time are
weak in vitality. and the ears from
which they came should be discarded.
1t is essential that the test be con-
Quoted before the ear is shelled.
Seed corn which was mature before
the early freezes in the fall and was
properly cared for is likely to be of
strong vitality.
Where there is not sufficient time to
plow the land and it is the purpose of
the farmer to list his corn early disk
Ing is Il common and good p, actice. AS
soon as the land is sufficiently dry cul-
tivatiOn with the disk should com
mence. The loose mulch left by the
disk will conserve moisture, and the
cultivation will liberate plant food
This early disking will cover weed
seeds and start them to grow. They
may then be destroyed by later disk
ing. 1t is q good plan to disk the corn
land early and continue working the
land till planting time

MOROS CIVILIZED.
One Time Pirates Now Prefer Labor to
Loot

Loot.
The hardest Job was to make the
Moro trust us. says writer in the
Christian Herald. TO his warped mind,
drilled through generations to look on
all Christians as his born enemies, the
Golden Rule was not easy to grasp
Why should the "AmericanoS" keep
faith, pay real cash for work done and
treat their late enemies with kindness?
Here, truly, was an odd race. unlike
the combative SpaniardS.
Slowly the change came. The great
est ordeal came when we asked the
Moros to give up their arms. On their
village anyils they hammer out these
graceful weapOns-creeSeS, daggers and
spears-inlaying the blades with silver
and shaping beautiful handles of ivory
Every boy over sixteen years of age
wore Il weapon. 1t was a part Of his
dress, the sign of manhood. But grad
ually, by precept, kindness and nonin-
reference with their Moslem rites, our
army officers won the confidence of
the MOrOS. One officer at least. Major
Finley, won their affection. When he
left they bestowed on him the title of
sultan and urged upon him to petition
Uncle Sam not to forsake his Moro
wards-not to turn them over to the
rule of the north island Tagalogs and
NisayanS.
Today these quondam pirates prefer
labor to loot. They dive for pearls,
weave cloth, manufacture cane furni-
ture, grow tree cotton, hemp and CO.
cOanuts. Under American direction
they have learned to build bridges and
wharfs. Trade is growing fast, and
the Moro has caught the commercial
spirit of the Americans, Europeans,
Chinese and the more advanced island
pagans, who ply their vocations about
him. Schools and courts are estab-
liShed, reasonable taxes taken, and JUS
tice is quick, direct ana effective. In
short, Yankee uplift is making a man
of the Moro.
