Everybody in the United States was quite pre-
pared to learn that the Langley airship, when the
attempt TO fly her on October was made,
wrecked and the bold navigator of the air almost
killed in his foolhardy attempt to emulate real
bird.
AS a spectacle it was dramatic, impressive.
The aeroplane taken from the hOuseboat
early in the morning, weather conditions being
ideal for the first time In weeks, and under the
direction of Mr. Manly was assembled with the
greatest care.
The aeroplane was poised on the turntable atop
the superstructure, fifty or sixty feet above the
Potomac, with open water all sides, and
vast stretch of unObstTucted sailing area in three
directions, so that in the event of success the
aerodrome might have flown for miles. Had the
aeroplane been tested a level stretch of
ground, which would have been possible had it
been equipped with light bicycle Wheels that day
might very well have witnessed mans triumph
over gravity.
The aeroplane was a beautiful thing like some
great white bird poised there on the houseboat,

like appearance.

privilege and the honor Of making the first fight

As Mr.. Manly climbed into his dizzy perch
and took his seat he looked down at the handful
Of newspaper reporters who were gathered
around the houseboat and who, in addition to the
members of the Smithsonian staff and represen-
tatives OF the army and navy, were the only wit
nesses, and smiled at them. The reporters gave
him a cheer.
Manly started the motor and braced himself
for the start.
The aeropane ready for its voyage, was held
in leash the turntable by powerful spring,
which, when released, would give it an initial
velocity of about thirty-fve feet per second, and
enable it TO clear the superstructure. AS Mr..
Manly put his hand to the lever and set his jaws
the spring was released.

WORTHY SUMMER BEE HINTS
Beginner Should Devote His Opera
tons to Getting "Chunk" Honey
Simplest and Best Way.

Living in rural community and be-
ing in almost daily contact with for
mer friends, who would like to produce
honey but do not know how to go to
work, the writer is in a position to
advise, and will commence by saying:
Do not try to produce comb honey in
pound sections, because that is the
province of the expert, and the high
est attainment of the bee keepers art,
writes A. F. Benzey of Iowa in Farm
ers' Review Rather devote your ener-
gies to getting chunk" comb honey.
There are different degrees of skill
shown even in this simple art, and |
purpose telling of the simplest and
best way, as follows;
The bees brought through the win
ter and up to June activity, watch the
white clover. When the bees are seen
on it go to your hive, give them a fe
puffs of smoke, remove, say, three
frames of brood from the brood box
(hive), replace them with frames con-
tanning foundation or comb, put on a
'wood-wire" queen excluder put the
frames of brood in hive with enough
frames filed with comb to fill it, put
this over the other, cover and leave
the bees for two weeks. at this time
lift the cover, using a little smoke, of
course, and if you find that the bees
have commenced to cap some of the
honey in the frames take the hive off
and put still another on full of comb
of foundation. Replace the first hive
and go away, resting assured that you
will have big yield from that hive.
Store the frames of honey in q
warm, dry place, cutting out the honey
as it is needed, but remember to leave
one-half an inch or more of comb on
top bar to start the bees next season.
This arrangement does away with
having to watch the bees and insures
a full crop of honey. TIT

While two crops a season on piece
Of ground will bring double profit,
there Is, of course, a corresponding
double amount of vitality Slapped from
the soil, and the frequent application
of a good fertilizer Is imperative, lest
the ground soon become thin and IN
productive.
In the garden one may utilize for
second and even third crops the beds
in which early peas, beans, radishes
and lettuce were grown.
The same is true of the early sweet
corn. 1t is advisable not to plant the
same article twice in the same spot in
succession, but rotate the products the
same as In field rotation of crops.
A well prepared seed bed at each
planting is almost essential, and a
sprinkling Of fine rich manure will
prove very beneficial to the growing
plants and in maintaining soil fertility.
Sow oats as early as possible in the
spring, NOW them for hay just few
days in advance of the time they would
be reaped for the grain; remove them
from the field as soon as they are sui
iciently cured, and stack well for fu-
ture feeding purposes.
Then put as many teams in the field
as can be spared. Stir the ground
quickly and thoroughly, Immediately
sowing it to millet.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1914-07-16

Usually the millet may be mown and
stacked early in September and the
field hurriedly cultivated and sown to
rye, which will make excellent fall
pasturage at a time when 1t is most
needed.
The wheat or rye fields may be
utilized in the same manner, and be-
ing somewhat earlier, are better adapt
ed to growing double crops than the
oats stubble.
The potato patch may be made to
double its profits by sowing it to mil
let, cane or kafir corn after it has been
laid by. Sowing the ground to some
other product also Yields the bene-
fetal influence of keeping down the
weed pests which always bob up after
you stop blowing the potato vines and
which, where unmolested, furnish mil
lions of seeds for propagating a rank
and troublesome growth of weeds the
next season, besides helping to drain
the soil of its fertility.
Or if one will dig the potatoes from
the early patch they will bring high
may be sown again to rape for hog
pasture.
Late tomatoes, cabbages and turnips
also may be raised among the potato
vines as successfully as though they
occupied a plot by themselves.

MAKING WAR UPON INSECTS
Often Found More Effective to Use
Mechanical Mems Than That Of
Hand or of Repellents.

In the small garden, hand methods
Of fighting insects are usually en-
ployed; and it is often found more
effective to protect the plant by me-
chanical means than to kill the insects.
Thus, cut worms may be prevented
from destroying newly transplanted
cabbages and tomatoes by wrapping
piece of heavy paper around the stem
of each plant at the time of transplant
ing. This method is fully as effective
as scattering poisoned bran mash
about the garden day or two before
setting the plants. Likewise the
striped beetles which invariably attack
cucumbers, melons and squashes, can
be kept away from the plants by COW
ering of mosquito bar or cheese cloth
stretched over a light frame or bot
tomless box made for each hill. Ihls
is a more effective method than is the
use of repellents, like turpentine or
crude carbolic acid, mixed with ashes
or land plaster, and is we'll adapted to
the small garden, where only a few
hills of the vine crops are grown.
When plants are attacked by any OF
the larger insects, like tomato worms
or celery caterpillars, the quickest
way to dispose of the insects is to
knock them off and crush them under
foot. Hand picking may also be en-
ployed for destroying the eggs OF
squash bugs and potato beetles. For
some of the smaller leaf-eating insects,
it may be necessary to resort to the
use of spray materials In the small
garden these can usually be applied
with sufficient thoroughness by the use
of a sprinkIing can or an atomizer.

BENEFITS OF SWEET CLOVER
Also for Feed--May Be sown Al
most Any Time.

Sweet clover is a plant grown most
" for fertilizer purposes, but it is val
liable also for feed. 1t is closely re-
lated to alfalfa because the same bac-
terra that work on the alfalfa roots
have their nodules on the sweet clover
roots.
Sweet clover may be sown any time
from April 1 to September IS. Pre-
pare the ground the same as for alfal-
ia and SOW ten to fifteen pounds per
acre. This plant will grow almost
anywhere, and on poor land, If left
for four or five years, the land wfll
grow good crop of corn, as the sweet
clover will keep reseeding itself and
the roots and tops will cover the
ground two or three inches deep with
a. good manure In that time. After the
first year It can be cut for hay two
or three cuttings made in season.

The experime~ts of 1908 we're the elimination
OF years of pat. 1t effort. AS far back as 1891
Professor Langley announced that as the result
OF experiments carried on by him during previous
years it was possible to construct machines
which would give such velocity to inclined sur
faces that bodies indefinitely heavier than the
air could be sustained upon it. and moved through
1t with great velocity"
President Mckinley had become impressed with
the possibilities Of the airship as an engine Of
war, and in 1898, at the request of the board of
ordnance and fertilization Of the war department,
Professor Langley undertook the construction Of
a man-Carrytng flying machine, and an allotment
of $4,000 made for the purpose. The serv-
ices of Charles NJ. Manly were secured as an

larger man-carrying airship, and although adj

apparatus which caused the final failure!
An enormous houseboat, therefore was built
Atop the house the superstructure carrying
turntabe, weighing about fifteen tons, supported
on a circular track, arrangement which was
designed to make 1t possible for the aeroplane to

houseboat.
Finally on August a Quarter-size steam-driven
model was launched from the top OF the house
boat. It was in the air 81 seconds and covered
about one thousand feet. The experiment was
regarded as q success and gave the inventors
great hopes for the success of the man-carrying
machine. Numerous delays occurred to prevent
the launching Of this. and it was not until Oc-

KEEP THE WO0DCHUCK AWAY
Cotton Soaked in BsuIphd and
Placed in Hole Is Good Way OF
Getting Rid of Rodents.

By F. L. WASHBURN, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)
The Woodchuck, or ground hog" is
SO destructive to gardens in some
counties in this section that few
remedial measures may be of interest.
White muslin strips may be tied to
the peayine supports about foot
above the ground, at intervals of about
a foot in a row, to keep the animal
away. Cotton or oakum may be
wrapped around a stone soaked in
carbon bisulphid, and the mass rolled
into the hole as far as possible. In or
der that the fumes may have the full
est possible effect, close the hole as
tightly as possible. A good marksman
with a rife, stationed where he can
secure a good view of the infested
field, may prove effective. Blasting
powder and a long fuse are sometimes
used and so is the steel trap.

Planting for Future Seed.

Few farmers feel that they have
time to give to an elaborate corn-breec
ing plot, but none Of them is so busy
that he can't take time TO select the
best hundred ears in his supply OF
seed, and, after testing to be sure OF
it's vitality, plant in plot on the south
or west side of his main field.
Doing this will not only simplify the
matter Of selecting the seed ears next
fall, but the location of the best and
most thrifty type Of corn in the posi-
ton mentioned will mean that much
of the remainder Of the field Will be
fortified by the tassels on these bet
ter stalks.

Scientists long ago
accorded to Professor
Langley the full meas

had seemed to fail,
have acknowledged the

unassuming man who
drew his inspiration
from the clouds and
gave to man the eagles
secret. He had worked

data upon which all
mechanical flight is
based.
But in the mind of
the public Langley was
a failure, and Langley's
