Lime works WONDERS
IN MARYLAND SOIL
Makes Possible An Increased Yield OF
Two Barrels Per Acre.

For the past six years Illinois farm
ers, under the direction of their Agri'
cultural College have been applying
the remarkable results obtained from
lime tests made by the Maryland Elk
pertinent Station, the results of which
were published in 1906. Experiments
covering twelve years showed that the
difference in yield between land I'm.
lined and land treated with lime car.
Donate or ground shells was in an
average of four corn crops, five bar
fels per acre. The least difference
shown between unlimed land and any
other form Of lime used was three bar.
Tels, in four crops of corn or an aver
age increase of from three-fourths to
one and a quarter barrels of corn per
acre year. So far an investment OF
Swo to three dollars an acre the return
per year was 81 to IS and for four
crops for the same investment in lime,
SIS to $24. These results are obtain
able on most unlimed soils of South
ern Maryland and would mean an in
crease in income to the average farm
of 5000 to $500 a year as the case
might be. If only one-fourth of the
cultivated lands of Maryland showed
a similar response to the use of lime
it would make possible an annual in
crease in the net returns from the
farms of over five millions of dollars.
Such results would certainly justify
the investment of $4,000 in soil in
vestigations as proposed by the Gov
ernor in his message to the Legisla-
ture.

The Dancing Bushman.


That wonderful Bushman who lived
for several years at Kimberley and re.
sisted the temptation to learn a word
OF English, Dutch or ANY known
South African language" while con.
versing volubly in his own unknown
tongue, is now back from Paris. Once
more he has been put under the mi
croscope, the horoscope and all the
other instruments of the Cambridge
Archaeological laboratory. Professor
Duckworth assures us that this is not
only Bushman, but type of Bush
man unrecognized hitherto" We sus-
pect, however, that he will go down
to history, or whatever may be his
destiny, as the Little Legpuller. For
our Bushman signalized his reception
at Cambridge by giving IAN exhibition
of dancing to a large audience in the
new examination hall OF. the univer-
sity." With the tango all the rage,
why not establish a chair of dancing
at Cambridge and install this already

Trick of Ski Jumping.

The art of ski-jumping is not so
easy as it looks before trying, nor so
hard to learn as it might appear after
the first attempt. At the start, or
takeoff, come down as though you
were coasting on the ski, then at the
moment of the take-off bend the body
well forward from the hips and throw
as. much of the weight as possible into
the knees. AS you leave the edge of
the jump straighten quickly at the
hips and secure as much as possible
the effect Of jumping straight out into
the air. While in the air hold the arms
as still as possible in the position that
best preserves the balance, keep the
ski points slightly down, as near as
possible parallel with the slope of the
: hill. The body should be perpendicu-
lar to the slope and the skis kept
well together. On landing, advance
one ski al far as possible without up
setting, bending the knee of the leg
that is advanced Keep the skis to.
gether and parallel. The rest is prac'
tice-and more practice.-Outing.

LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP SURE,
That Meeting Of Affinities Is Inev-
table Is Opinion Advanced by
This Novelist.

There are people in life one never
more than just brushes by: from
whom one gains nothing; to whom one
gives nothing. People who, though
they may be the pivot of another's
life-and that's always very difficult
to realize and remembrance no more
to you than family penciled draw
ing. You may be introduced to them
again and again, know all their rela-
tions, their personal history, admire
and approve. But that is all. 1t is
no use arranging meetings; striving
to know each other better: you'll new
er get any nearer
Love and friendship are as inev-
liable as all else in this inevitable
world. You may first meet at the an
tipodes and each go opposite ways
perhaps without even speaking. But
if you are native to each other you
will meet again and again. People
lose half their energy in contriving
and planning. They are like men who
would try to hurry on an express train
by getting out and pushing: or-to
use a very homely simile-like GER
tain impatient persons, who, instead
of waiting for bus, imagine they
save time by walking on so that it
may overtake them.-From "Simp-
son." by Elinor Mordaunt.

LONDON FULL OF BEeeARs
Mendicants and cadgers Appear in
the Great Metropolis in All
Sorts of DISCUSSES.

There are many professional beg

copyright methods of extracting coin

across the distressed. governess, out
of situation, who asks you in Oxford
street the way to walk to Turnham
Green, and is so staggered at the dis
lance that you ask her to accept the
bus fare
Then there is the transatlantic
journalist stranded in the metropolis.
He is too proud to seek aid from some
of his millionaire friends at the Cecil,
but if you could land perhaps you
do.
Most artistic of all mendicants is
the old lady of grandmotherly appear
ance dressed in black silk. She is up
in London for the day, and some one
has robbed her of her purse. She has
called on her solicitor, but unfortu-
nately he was out. What shall she
do? You give her the train fare and
she promises to send the money on to
you if you will give her your address.
But if you are wise you decline, and
thus escape a shoal Of begging let
tiers. For addresses of benevolent
persons have market value among
the cadging fraternity. = London

Heart of New York.

So much is heard of the heartless-
ness of New York business men that
it is refreshing to hear another side of
the story. A young woman had been
employed by large wholesale house
for three months. 1t was her first
position. She became ill, and, believ-
ing that conditions surrounding her
work were unsuitable to her, resigned
The firm then sent a check for two
weeks salary and wrote that when
she recovered if they could help her
in any way, either financially or to Sc
cure another position, she was to call
upon them. Fortunately she didn't
have to, and now no one dares to tell
her that New York is cruel and heart
less to the struggling newcomer.

Relief Plan For Trolley EN-.
ployes.

The Hagerstown and Frederick Re-
lief Association, an association of the
employees Of the Hagerstown and Fred
erick Railway Company, has been form
ed with a membership of considerably
more than 100 members. The dues in
the association are rs cents per month,
and the association pays to each mem
Der sick benefits at the rate of S. per
case Of death the family of the deceased
is paid SIS.
The employees on the Hagerstown Di-
vision have had such an association for
some time, and the plan has worked
most successfully there. Because of the
TACT that man who has qualified for
railroad work must be hearty and
healthy. there are comparatively few
cases of sickness among the employees.
During the time that the Hagerstown
Association was conducted there was
fund of about 5000 accumulated in the
treasury. This sum the Hagerstown
men have turned over into the treasury
of the Hagerstown and Frederick Relief
Association, and because of this the new
association starts out with a considerable
surplus with which to make any demands
made upon it.
Under the agreement each member of
the association may have his own ply
scian, and need not have a physician
designated by the association. This is
a very desirable feature for any OF the
Frederick men, and this was one conces.
sion which the Frederick employees de-
manded before they would go into the
association
The association is strictly one of the
employees of the road. and while any one
connected with the road in any capacity
is entitled to Join, the management and
control of the association is entirely with
in the hands of the employed men, and
the road officials while they are members,
have no further to say in the control of
the association than a member of the
track force or an employee in any. other
department.
About as OF the 50 employees of the
Frederick Division of the road have
already joined the association, the new
association beginning on February Ist.
II is expected that ultimately nearly
every employee Of the Frederick Division
will become a member. On the Hag-
erstown Division nearly all of the en-
ployes are members
The railway officials encourage the
further development of the association
in every way possible. Special cars have
been provided to carry the men to the
| special meetings which have been held,
and other concessions granted. The ad.
ministration office of the association is al
Hagerstown.

POTATO SEED FROM

Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
In the spring of 1911, Jas. D. Harvey,
of Deer Park, Garrett County, for
warded to the Maryland Experiment
Station sample of the Empire State
potato. He said it grew especially
well under his conditions, and he had
been growing it without change Of
seed for thirty years. 1t was planted
alongside Of sample of the same
variety from dealer in Northern New
York The growth and appearance
were almost the same. They with
stood the drouth better than many Of
the other varieties and were the best
yielders Of that season. The Garrett
County seed yielded at the rate OF
twenty bushels per acre more than
the New York seed.
Experiments begun as early as the
spring Of 1908 along this line indicate
that the cool climate Northern seed is
grown in accounts for its superiority
over home grown seed. So the good
results from Garrett County seed are
probably due to the cooler climate it
is grown in. There is no good reason
why farmers living in the mountain.
Gus districts of Maryland should not
supply the Eastern and tidewateI
counties with better seed than can be
grown in Maine. This could of course
best be done by concerns or associa.
lions that could handle the potato seed
in carload lots and keep Maryland
money in the State.
