HAVE THEIR VARIOUS LIKINGS
Restaurant Patrons Show in Many
Ways How Lucky 1t Is
That Tastes Differ.

Diners in a Philadelphia lunchroom
were amused by a man who literally
smothered plate of raw oysters with
mustard and washed down the mix
ture with a glass of buttermilk, into
which he had shaken a generous por-
ton of red pepper, saws the Record Of
that city. Instead of burning the mans
throat or causing him 10 sneeze or his
eyes to water, he smacked his lips
with great relish. After he had paid
the check the cashier turned to one
of the patrons who was still laughing
at the incident
"You know what the old woman
said when she delivered the oscula-
tory salutation upon the countenance
of the bovine" he 81 q. THAT old
fellow isn't near as b@d as some I've
seen in here. What do you think Of a
person who puts linse- d oil on beef
steak. or one who eats raw liver with
chopped onions? We have two Gus
toners who do this repeatedly and
both insist that there is nothing to
take the place of these dishes.
"The limit, though, l think, is
reached by an old recluse who comes
here sometimes. He has a great appe-
tite for raw sauerkraut, old-fashioned
cup cheese and all the rest of those
Dutch dishes. One day | saw him
take a paper from his pocket and
shake something into plate Of bean
soup. From where l was sitting it
looked like sweet marjoram, and so
when he came to the desk told him
that it wasn't necessary for him to
carry his seasoning around in his
pocket, as the walters would give him
all he wanted.
He didn't appear to understand and
when | explained, he said: oh, my!
no, that wasn't sweet marjoram, and
he pulled the paper from his pocket
and exhibited the contents to me- 1t

duce prize exhibits of either fruit, veg.

Maryland should be represented at this
exhibition.
All local farmers organizations
should study the rules for the club ex.

making a club exhibit at this great
show. 1t will be good advertisement
for any community besides making
such an exhibit aids and advertises the
worth of the local association in many
other ways. Every section of Mary

This exhibition is educational in

DIFFER AS TO IDEAL WOMAN
Should She Be Plump or Slender, Is
Question Over Which There
Is Controversy.

One of the London papers has put
the question to its readers, 'Is the
slender woman or the plump woman
the ideal type?" It arose from a dis
agreement among the physiological
and artistic authorities. The Ameri-
can doctors have declared that the
plump woman is the standard, while
the English artists say that the thin
woman approaches more nearly to the
normal type. There is no question:"
writes one, that the new figure long
and wilIowy. the result Of the modern
athletic movement. is superior in vi.
tality and natural grace to the old
short and stumpy figure. The tall,
thin woman is freer and more healthy,
and is a better comrade for her hus-
band"
Another says: Surely there is a
golden mean between the plump and
the meager. Let a woman aim at
keenirg her mind active and her body
fit, and she VII find that she can have
a good fgure"-which seems to me
highly illooicai Who has not known
women with the most active of minds
and Of bodies whose figures, according
to the received standard. are absolute
ly "dowdy?' "A Woman of Forty"
writes sensibly. why not recognize
the fact that there may be several
equally good physical types? The girl
Of twenty may properly be slim, while
the woman in the thirties looks quite
as normal, if she is plump. "-Leslie's

ALFALFA WILL THRIVE
IN MANY SOILS
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

For number of years the Mary
land Agricultural Experiment Station
has been testing alfalfa on t'le various
soil types of the State now under culti-
walton. These tests, together with
the successful experience of many
farmers, have proven beyond doubt,
that under favorable conditions alfalfa
can be grown successfully on prac-
tically all soils of the State.
No soil, regardless of type or loca-
ton in the State, however, will pro-
duce fair crops of alfalfa unless it is
fertile; producing at least 40 to SO
bushels Cor 10 barrels) Of corn per
acre in a normal season. No amount
of fertilizer applied either before or
after seeding will make up for poor
land at the start. Moreover, starting
alfalfa under such conditions is indeed
very expensive. If the land is poor,
1t is far better to wait few years and
grow fertiliZing crops such as COW
peas, crimson clover, soy beans and
red clover in the rotation before each
money crop. If manure is available.
the more used the better In fact, the
supply of organic matter is very inn
portant factor in the production of
alfalfa. 1t is seldom that land very
low in humus grows alfalfa success
fully.

Anyway, they're Good.

Henry Cabot Lodge, in his EARLY
Memories" tells number of good an
ecdotes. Perhaps the best of all is
the legend which Oliver Wendell
Holmes is said to have placed on his
door when he began practising as a
physician: THE smallest fevers thank
fully received and gratefully acknowl-
edged" Another notice that was put
on door is mentioned by Mr.. Lodge.
1t was on the door of Mr.. Evarts,
when, as secretary of state, he was
besieged by applicants for consulates
and other minor diplomatic posts. and
it read; Come We disconsulate!'
That. one hastens to admit, is the an
ecdote, and nobody win pretend that
an anecdote is necessarily true.

Drainage must be good. Alfalfa re
quires much more complies drainage
than other farm crops. Land inclined
to be wet and springy In winter and
early spring, although dry enough dur.
ing the growing season to produce
good crops of corn, wheat oats and
grass, Is not drained well enough fol-
alfalfa. On such land alfalfa is sure
to be killed out sooner or later by
heaving due to the frequent freezing
and thawing so common some seasons.
Lining for alfalfa is absolutely
necessary on practically all Maryland
soils,-even in the natural lime stone
sections. 1t makes little or no differ.
ence what kind of lime is used if the
proper amount of each is applied. Il
is question of cost and ease of hand,
ling rather than the effect upon the
alfalfa.
The amount of lime to use under
average conditions is one ton per acre
of caustic lime, that is burnt stone or
lump lime, ground lime or burnt oyster
shells. Hydrated lime should be used
at the rate of $500 to 200 pounds
and ground lime stone or ground oyster
shells should be applied at the rate OF
$500 pounds to 2 tons per acre.
The best time to apply lime is the
season before sowing the alfalfa. If,
however, this is not convenient or i'm
practical, it may be applied just be.

SPRAY FOR ASPARAGUS BEETLE
E. N. CORY.
Maryland Agricultural College.

There are two asparagus beetles.
one red with black spots, and the
other black with yellow stripes, that
infest asparagus. They deposit their
eggs along the stalks. The larva,
small, dirty appearing grubs eat the
shoots. There is little or nothing that
can be done to prevent injury when
the beetles are present in numbers.
However, the chances of injury from
this source can be greatly reduced by
a few simple methods, employed after
the cutting season is over. When the
patch is of considerable extent,
thorough spraying with four pounds of
arsenate of lead in barrel of water
In which has been previously dissolved
one pound of laundry soap, to aid in
the adhesive qualities of the mixture:
or one quart of syrup or molasses win
serve as well as the soap.

Perfect Friendship.

There is nothing more sacred than
friendship, and it is impossible to pro-
fame it by drawing the veil from its
ministries. The charm of a perfectly
noble companionship between two
souls is as real as the perfume OF a
flower, and is impossible TO convey by
word or speech; nature has made it's
sanctity inviolable by making it for
ever impossible to revelation and
transference cannot translate into
any language the delicate charm. the
inexhaustible variety, the noble fidel-
ity OF truth, the vigor and splendor of
thought, the unfailing sympathy of our
ardent friendships; they are a party
OF the forest, and one must seek them
there.-Hamilton Wright Mabie

whole of his estate to a priest, with
