Maryland Hospitality

(From the Hurlock Advanced
Our way of living has changed; the
form of our home life and the manner
of receiving our friends have changed;
but through all the shifting phases of
the human family, the essence of hos
pitality has remained the same-to
break bread and to converse. There
have been hundreds of innovations in
the way of entertaining ones guests
monkey dinners, barnyard dances,
vaudeville stunts, amateur plays, and
games-alWays games, both with and
without stakes.
But these are free shows, not hospi-
tality. Hospitality is enjoying with
others that which is our own; divid-
ing with them the bread for the body,
sharing with them the experiences and
fancies of the mind. True hospitality
is where one from the outside is well
coined into the home circle He brings
with him something of pleasure and
thought and fellowship which he
leaves in that home; he takes away
with him a share Of the cheer and
warmth of the tireside. To sit down
together and break bread-one's own
bread-and then sit together before
the fre-one's own fire-nad tell of
that which has happened on our pill
grimage, and speculate on what is yet
to come; that, whether in an Indians
wigwam or a baron's castle, is the end
and soul of hospitality.

Clover Seed On Fall
Wheat and Dat Crops

The best time for seeding red clover
is in the spring, and it can be sown to
excellent advantage either by itself or
on fall-sown grain the end of Febru-
airy or during Farch. Very satisfac-
tory stands are obtained by sowing
clover seed on wheat, oats or other
grains which may have been sown in
the fall, and then running a sharp
tooth harrow crosswise over the field,
so as to give the seed slight cover
ing. Running the harrow over it does
not injure the grain crop, but increas-
es the yield, really acting as cult
walton to the crop. Clover seed re-
quires a good, firm seed bed, and SOW
ing in this way, it is sown under ideal
conditions for securing good stand.
All throughout the West it is the re-
gular custom to sow clover seed in
the spring on practically all fall-sown
wheat or other grain crops.

Sowing Alsike Clover and Alfalfa in
Mixture with Red Clover.

Red Clover is considered as the
standard forage and soil-improving
crop combined, and is more widely and
generally used than any other crop for
this purpose. The quantity sown to
the acre is usually ten to twelve lbs.
1t is an excellent plan when seeding
to also SOW two or three pounds Of al
sike clover to the acre; and if it is de-
sired to inoculate the soil for alfalfa,
seeding of three to five pounds of
alfalfa is desirable. Where these three
cloverS are sown in mixture, 8 lbs. of
red clover, 3 lbs. of Alsike Clover and
3 lbs. Alfalfa is the quantity usually
sown to the acre. The advantages of
sowing aisle clover are more on the
lines of crop insurance than otherwise,
as alSike clover is surer to give a
stand, and also stands more adverse
conditions of dry or cold weather than
other cloverS.

Afternoon.

New York, May 21.-The taking of
testimony in the Becker murder trial
ended today. Arguments begun this
afternoon.
Some surprise was caused at Beck
er's failure to take the stand in his
own defense. 1t was thought the for
mer police lieutenant wanted to go
on the stand at his first trial and was
prevented from doing so by his law
yers, and it was understood he would
testify for himself at his trial.
Announcement early this morning
that Becker would not take the stand
led to the prediction that the trial
would come to an early end, and
within few hours the court heard
attorneys for both sides declare they
had finished their case.
