"FLOURS" FADE

The White Crest "pep" which
characterized the playing of Cap.
Wiger's team the first of tn
season, seems to have wilted con-
siderably, and their last four
games have been "easy pickin's"
for the opposition. Friday evening
the Hoosier Bards took the Crests
into camp by a score of to 8.
This game cinched the pennant for
the Caterpillars, for, with only
two games m a i ling for each
team, Cap. Lusk's team has a lead
that cannot now even be tied. The
Crests played fully as good a game
as the Hoosier Bards, but luck
broke against them in the import
ant stages of the contest. Three
c at erpillars appeared in this
game, Ted Jensen playing LIST
for the Bards, and Krauth an d
Lusk were in the Crest lineup.

by each team. the Caterpillar's
having won six, and the Crests
and Bards three each. The total
score for these eight games is Cat

Old orchards are usually in sod
Nothing will renew their life more
effectively than breaking up this sod
and cultivation for number of years.
Before plowing fertilizer should be ap-
Piled. Stable manure is very desir-
able, but if not to be had in sufficient
quantity, 500 pounds per acre of ferti-
lizer may be used. A good mixture
to use is 125 pounds nitrate of soda,
100 pounds ammonium sulfate, 700
pounds acid phosphate, 180 pounds
muriate of potash, and 900 pounds of
kainit. These substances should be
thoroughly mixed before using.
Apply the fertilizer early in the
spring and plow it under. Cultivate
your land after every rain, as soon as
it is in workable condition Early in
August SOW to the acre 80 pounds of
crimson clover or 11a bushels of COW
peas. Plow them under the spring
following. This will improve your
orchard. For further information,
write for Maryland Experiment Sta
ton Bulletin No. 17S.

PUT new LIFE I'M
YOUR OLD TREES
A Comfortable Living From the
Neglected Orchard For the
Enterprisina.
HERMAN BECKENSTRATER.
Maryland Agricultural College.

Seven hundred barrels of apples
from a ten-acre orchard, netting be-
tween two and three thousand dollars
is not bad farming. Yet this is what
the Hanson Brothers, of Ellicott City,
secured the past season from an old
orchard that six years ago was prac-
tcally worthless. What they have ac-
complished can be repeated to ad-
vantage with many of our neglected
orchards.
The first step in bringing into use
fulness an old orchard is a thorough
cleaning up. Most old orchards have
not been well pruned, as is shown by
decaying branches, tops that are too
thick and high, and a great growth
of water sprouts. Thin out the top
to admit light and air and increase the
vigor of the tree. Scrape off the loose,
shaggy bark which harbors insects,
using short-handled hoe. With a
sharp knife remove in the winter or
early spring, all signs of canker, body
blight, or dead spots. Head back
close and paint the wound to prevent
loss from evaporation. This will also
make spraying and picking easier. A
thorough spraying with lime sulfur
solution in the late fall and then again
in the early spring is desirable.

NOT LIKE THE REAL THING
Critic of NoveIlsts Complains That
Writers Do Not Properly Rep
resent Life as Il Is.

Mrs Durnford was known to disap-
prove of literary people, writes Mrs.
Mary C. E. Wemyss in People of
Popham," and her proud boast was
that she never read novels. Il can
see life as it is, without its being
made ridiculous by people who know
nothing about it," she would declare.
'You see, Miss Hope, what l object
to in writing is this" said Mrs. Durn-
ford. you set out to write book,
which heaven forbid! You write about
me! Well, you haven't the least idea
what l am thinking about! You say,
Mrs. Durnford was very much
touched when told her about old Mr..
Tubbs death. Her eyes filed with
tears Well, they didn't 1 wanted to
sneeze, that was ALL See?"
well, that would be called literary
license. l am sure you would feel
the death OF a Mr.. Tubb dreadfully;
/ can imagine any one would" said.
81 just happened to think Of the
name l don't suppose name makes
any difference" she replied. "And in
describing love, my dear. You may
have had proposals, of course. If you
have, you will know that not one
man in fifty kneels. I shouldn't have
respected Doctor Durnford's intelli-
gence if he had. Now take proposals
in books! Pages and pages, chapters
sometimes, whereas the real thing
haDnpnS like this. Doctor DuT0fOrd
met me at the corner of the road, by
the sign post, and he asked me what
was going to do, and l said I was
going for a walk. And he said, very
naturally, I thought, May I come,
too% l bowed Then he said nothing
till we got to Dyer's Pond, and then
he said, May 1 walk with you through
life?' l said, Yes That was all. He
gave me the ring; it was in his pock-
ct. Diamonds and sapphires, small,
but large enough"
''She went on:
What could be simpler? We had
an oak suite in the dining-room, ma
hogany suite in the consulting-room,
a satinwood suite in the drawing-room
and ash in the bedroom. We had
good carpets throughout, changing on
the stairs from pile to cord at my bed
room. They are all as good today as
they were then"
l said I thought she had chosen
most wisely, both in husband and fur
niture.-Youth's Companion.

NOT sPolLW BY POSITION
President OF eske French Republic
Pleased to crest Humble Com
panion q etls 5oyhood.

A pretty litets sncident that throws
a pleasing light aRon the character of
the president 0e france occurred re
Gently at baaGaet given by the
French bar to President Poincare.
At the Gloss sa the dinner NJ. Poin-
care called up the waiter who had
watched over his comfort. Thank
you, Jacques" he said quietly, and
shook him by the hand. At the same
time the president managed to slip a
bank note into the walters palm
81 won't have it!" cried Jacques,
and to the amusement and astonish-
ment of the guests there ensued q
friendly struggle between the waiter
and the president of the republic.
NJ. Poincare ended the amicable dis
pute by pushing the note into the
mans pocket and good-naturedly slap
ping him on the back. The waiter
could not resist this sincere geniality,
and finally, after another handshake,
retired, wreathed in smiles.
When the president turned back to
the table he noticed the perplexed
looks on the faces of the guests, who
did not know what to make OF the
scene.
''You see," he explained simply, 'T
was at school with Jacques at Sam
pigny."-Youth's Companion.

County Road Unfit Fer Travel

In Frederick county, in Jefferson Dis
trict, there is road which the proper
officials of the United States Postofice
Department have pronounced unfit for
travel with horse and wagon, and have
consequently prohibited the delivery of
mail in rural free delivery boxes along
this stretch of road.
Clayton Miller, residing about one and
one-half miles south of Jefferson, this
county, reported this condition to the
Board OF County Commissioners on Tues
day morning, February 3rd, and appeal
ed TO them to do something to
improve the road to such state that at
least mail delivery could be re-estab-
lished.
The road which is classed as too bad
for travel by an Inspector of the Post
Office Department, reaches from the farm
of Mr.. Miller to near Beallis Mill.
The County Commissioners took the
matter under consideration and will prob
ably do something to improve its condi-
ton.
