SOMETHING FOR WINTER.
Suggestion for Country School
Teachers and Pupils.
From Golfers Weekly.

'oiIltE "SthN-
Here is a suggestion for school chill
dren, especially for country school chill
dren and their teachers. Some of the
youthful farmers who have made two
ears OF corn grow where none grew be-
fore ought to be particularly interested
in 1t. II comes from Mr.. Richard Haugh-
ton, VINO tells in the Rural New Yorker
of some experiments he and his brother
have made on their farm in Chester Coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, to find the best method
of preparing soil for sowing alfalfa.
The experiment is the same as that
suggested by Prof. Milton Whitney. in
Circular 1s, Bureau of Soils. United States
Department of Agriculture. 1t consists
of testing, by planting seed in pots, the
actual soil of the farm under various
conditions of fertilization. The disad-
vantage of the usual scheme of devoting
several plots of the farm itself to the
crop under test is that it is compare
lively expensive and that at least a sea-
son is used in arriving at the result. The
advantage of the pot experiment Is that
it is cheap Pnd may be carried on in
= indoorA ~
Especially constructed wire pots are
used. different soils put in each and the
result is known in a few weeks. To some
ground limestone had been added; to
others bone, bone and potash, nitrocul-
ture, etc. Those that were inoculated
produced plants very much larger than
the soils without inoculation. The actual
results on the farm seemed TO Justify the
pot experiments. The Agricultural High
School at Sparks. Baltimore County, Nd.
has tried this system of experiment under
the guidance of Prof Crocheron, and il
has also been tried with success in Ire
dyffrin and Eastown townships, Chester
County, Pa.

A VISIT TO JULIETS HOME.
Balcony Where Romeo worshipcd
still Exists in Verona.

From the London Telegraph.
This was the home of the Capulets,
from whom descended Juliet, for whom
SO many kind hearts have wept and of
whom the poets have sung"
You read the words on a tablet by
the side of a tall and slender gray house
In quiet street of Verona. A few
steps farther on the busy life of the old
city is centered in the market place and
in the one or two streets that lead from
il.
You stand in front of the lightly built
dwellings and you look at the slim bal
cony of wood from which bent forward
the form of the radiant girl whose un-
dying love story has echoed down the
ages. 1t Is on autumn day, and within
the rail of the narrow framework some
one has placed red flowers in tall green
pots. A curtain at the little window
moves in the breeze and you expect at
any moment to see the dainty form of
Juliet appear and to hear a ripping
laugh fall from her lips.
A woman steps from the room be-
yOnd, through the open window, and
stands to listen. She has child in
her arms and he clasps his hands,
laughing and Growing. no doubt, Just
as the beloved Veronese did centuries
ago. The mother bushes him. for she
is intentIy listening to. the market
cries. In the midst of Ihat everyday
life walks thf- immortal .1Iliet.

ON Town CABINET
President Wilson Hears No
Appeals for Candidates
for District Offices.
STRIFE BREAKS OUT
Cotter 7. Bride Is Understood to Have
Support Of Bryan for United
States Marshal.

Nomination of District officials may De
announced at the White House any day
this week. according to the general ex-
nectations Of District Democrats last
yht
So far as has been announced, Presi-
mt Wilson mas granted no formal audi
- lces to any persons to hear the merits
: dement's of candidates for District
commissioners and other officers in the
district government. His known inten-
ion Of receiving advice from District
Gitizens on District appointments, how
sSer, probably will bring into confer
ence with him several residents of the
Capital with whom he is said to have
very friendly relations.
In the meantime the factional strife
in the local Democratic party seemed
last night to have become more bitter.
The appointment of the inaugural COM
mittee chairman, over which there was
much discussion. served for a time to
enliven a hope that the three factions
which contended for recognition at the
Baltimore convention would be brought
together in amity.
Wilson Keeping silent.
The Democratic Central Committee,
formerly known as the Costello commit
tee, OF wlach Robert Z. >Mattingly is
chairman, was recognized last week by
the democratic National COMMITTEE
Since then the reports that its officers
would bring suit to compel ]. Fred Kel-
ley. as chairman of the Democratic Cen
trail Committee il succeeded, to pay to
the new committee certain moneys he
held for the old committee, have been
revived
Other Democrats are understood TO have
formed coalition to press forward the
claims OF candidates. for some of whom
the campaigns have already been defined
Whether President Wilson'S Cabinet
members or members of the Senate will
use their influence to any great extent
for any candidates for local Office is only
guessed az hy local Democrats. In sCme
Eases. as for example in that of United
states Marshal where Cotter T. Bride is
understood 10 have the support of Secre-
tarv OF State Bryan. local Democrats
think II probable that citizens advice
will be tempered by councillors wishes
Mr.. Wilson so far has kept his District
appointments well hidden as he kept
his national appointments

after years of striving, scientific ag-

Dean Eugene Davenport, of the College

The demand for scientific informa-

Our letter files are crowded with
letters from persons who want to help
in the cause of scientific agriculture
Pulpftless preachers broken-down
journalists. bankrupt business men and
others offer their services as soil ex-
perts. explaining that they have been
reared on a farm.
up to fifteen years ago the farmer
boy did not consider it worth while to
attend the college of agriculture To-
day farmers have learned that scien-
tific agriculture is necessity
The farmer is not a hayseed, but a
heady, alert business man. BY this /
mean the Middle West farmer, for the
New England farmer only wants TO
make a living for himself, his wife, and
his horse. The Middle West farmer
wants to make money.
q Yet agriculture is an old science.

study than he was in depressing the

CHINESE COLLEGE EXAMS"
Twelve Thousand Students in Cells
Under Martial Law.

frnln the New York Press
Students actually are worked to death
in Wuchang, China. where every third
year the queerest college examination
in the world is held. From L, 900 to Il, 900
students are locked In cells for three
days while they struggle for a degree
So great is the strain that frequently
several of the students die before the
end of the seventy-two-hour bout, and
several times hopeful candidates have
been crushed to death at the gate when
trying to get in. Every row of cells has
two servants who cook and attend to
the wants of the candidates. Martial
law prevails during the examination, in
which about only ] per cent of those who
take it are successful. An army Of 10000
tradesmen. doctors, cooks. tailors and
printers gather in the university town
when the big examination is pulled off
A salute of guns is fired in honor Of the
lucky Chinese who skin through.

RESCUE FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK,
Death Is Only an Appearance. Mt
First, a Doctor Declares.
From the Lancet.

In dealing with persons suffering
from electrical shock, if the victim re-
mains in contact with the circuit his
body must not be touched by the res
cuer. but the latter may pull him out
Of contact by hauling on the clothing.
or he may take off his own coat in
sert his hand in the sleeve and then
handle the victim with little or no risk
Almost any article of clothing or ma
terial may be used, provided it is dry
and of moderate thickness Doctor
Morton points out that death from
electrical shock is only an apparent
death at first, and that there is prac-
tically always a time during which it is
possible to resuscitate the victim by
artificial respiration.
