hills to reach full maturity as possible.
I advise rows two and 0ne-half feet
apart and seed pieces to be dropped
twelve to fifteen inches apart in the
drill, using u good sized seed cut one
to three eyes.
In raising 300 bushels per acre
make the rows three feet apart. Place
the seed pieces eighteen to twenty
inches apart and don't take quite so
much pains in cutting seed. One ton
of the best commercial fertilizer is not
usually too much per acre. find 1t
a good method to SOW the fertilizer
with the planter before dropping the
seed. Then it is mixed with the soil.
After the plant Is up a little fertilizer
can be used on it, but 1t should be
brushed from the plant with broom
or in some similar manner.

ing the best methods here described

and in good condition 1t may be taken
away Immediately, without allowing

pigs. Hogs. and especially young ones
do not do so well when they sleep on
the ground as when they sleep on a
dry floor, or at least this has always
been my experience.
| prefer my floors not more than SIX
inches from the ground. as when they
are higher they may be too cold when
the weather is extremely cold.
OF course floors cost money, but they
soon make it back in extra gains in
the pigs weight The quarters of
small hogs should be separate from
those of the big hogs, for pigs never
do so we'll when permitted to sleep In

To be sure. there is usually some bad
weather in the fall. but we usually
have it as bad and worse in the early
spring. In the fall, between showers,
the pig may be filing his tank with
such green feeds as he likes if they
have been provided. If they have not
been provided he runs out in a dry
lot. squeals. does not grow. and tnen
usually the cry is. Fall pigs don't

While the pigs are on the peas ana
rape plow up their winter lots and sow
rye.
This will be a good, rich soil for rye,
and it will grow rapidly and very rank.
It will not take very large lot or
few small ones to afford plenty OF
pasture all winter and until rape Is
again ready in the spring. This will
keep the pigs growing, If they have
good quarters.

The Galloway is the oldest of the
pure breeds of cattle and is noted
for it's hardness. The breed is ma
tive to southwest Scotland, where
the custom among farmers is to WIN
ter cattle in the open. They have
thus acquired those characteristics
of hardness which adapt them to
farming conditions in America, es-
pecially in the northern and west
ern sections. In fact, experience
proves that the Galloway does bet
ter when wintered in the open than
when sheltered in barns. Among
beef breeds the Galloway holds high
rank.

LAWRENCE, KANS., June IA
When Professor F. c. Dockeray. in the
psychological department of the Uni
versity OF Kansas, got into an alter
cation with Janitor who entered the
class room and insisted upon sweep p
ing while Dockeray was lecturing, a
number Of students came to his res
cue.
The affair grew into a free for-all
fight, during which the janitor. who
had drawn revolver, was overpOw-
cred and disarmed. As a student
grasped the pistol a shot was fired.
AS soon as order was somewhat re-
stored, and the frightened and fleeing
students reassembled, accounts were
taken from them Of the affair. All
the students swore they heard the
shot. and several told of seeing the
smoke from the revolver. Then Pro
fessor Dockeray told that it was an
experiment, a fight that had been
planned carefully, and that the shot
Of the revolver was from the outside
of the building by a student posted
there. The purpose Of the experiment
was to show the unreliability of in
formation, even when furnished by
eyewitnesses.

WOMAN OLDER
THAN ATLANTA
YET IN SCHOOL,
Mrs. Emily Bandy, "a, Who RoSS
Over Present Site of City, Is
Student in tennessee.

JOHNSON CITY, TENN, June IA.
One of the most interesting students
who has entered for the summer term
at the East Tennessee State Normal
School is Mrs. Emily A. Bandy, of
Polk County Mrs. Bandy was born
February %, 1910, and is in her sew
enty-fourth year. She is enjoying the
best of health and is very active and
buoyant and one of the most cheerful
and enthusiastic students enrolled.
Mrs. Bandy's maiden name was
Mangum. She was born at what is
now East Point, near Atlanta, and at
the time of her birth the building of
Atlanta had not begun. She has often
ridden along the roads over the pres
ent site Of that fiourishing city.
Lived in White Hall House.
For one year she lived in the large,
long white house built by Carna Hum
phreys and which was locally known
as the white Hall House" This gave
the name of Whitehall Street, one OF
the leading thoroughfares of Atlanta.
Mrs. Bandy began teaching In 1854
near GAINESVILLE. Ca, and taught one
year in the first building of what is
now Gordon Institute, BY many she
is known as the Mother OF Gordon
Institute" After teaching three years
near Atlanta she married. Again In
1870 she taught one term near Dalton.
From 1875 to 1873, inclusive, she
taught in Fannin County. Georgia.
She was not engaged in school work
from 1873 to 1884. In the latter year
she began teaching in F'annin County,
Georgia, and has worked continu-
ously ever since in Fannin County
and in Polk County, Tennessee,
teaching in the latter county at Blue
Ridge. Isabella and Copperhill.
Presence an Inspiration.
The presence Of the lively, cheerful,
buoyaut and learning old woman is
an inspiration TO the other $50 young
er teachers registered in the Normal
School. Mrs. Bandy is probably the
Oldest person now attending school
in the United States and the Normal
School students feel highly honored
by her presence.

mine Whether 1t Was Fashioned
by Indians or Mound Builders.

FORT WILLIAM. ONT. June IA
A crude copper hook, beaten by hand
out Of native copper, and possibly of
prehistoric origin, was unearthed by
city workmen on the Stanley Avenue
sewer about 20 feet below the earth's
surface.
The hook is about seven inches
long, AMI the loop Of the hook proper
is two and a half inches in dame
ter. Its sides are fiat, beaten four
square, and show the imprint of a
small fiat-faced hammer, and,
though slender, the copper hook is so
exquisitely tempered that when bent
under pressure 1t Immediately springs
back into its original position like the
finest steel.
1t Is unquestionably a relic of some
American aborigine, but whether it
was fashioned by an Indian or by his
predecessors, the mound builders, will
have to be left to the judgment Of
archaeological experts.
