New Connundrum.

Here is a conundrum which your
greatgrandfathers asked each other
when they were little boys:
"How many legs has dog II you
call his tail leg?"
"FIve!" shouted the little great
granddad of Mr.. A.
Wrong" corrected the diminutive
greatgranddad Of Mr.. B. Because
calling his tail leg doesn't make 1t
leg"
I am reminded Of this venerable
brain twister Of youth by the follow
ing lines in the Clayton anti-business
bill.
1.-THE District of Columbia shall be
deemed a state within the meaning Of
this law"
So I shall modernize that ancient
query by propounding the following:
"How many states in the United States
If you call the District of Columbia
state?" - Girard, in Philadelphia

Cottages.

Cottage accommodation" In the
sense in which Mr.. Runchiman's bill
deals with 1t, is a phase that would
hardly be understood in the United
States. Professors Greenough and
Kittredge of Harvard, in their book
on the ways of English words, point
out that cottage" in the strict sense
of a laborer's dwelling, has never been
adopted into popular American use,
because America has never really had
the thing. The word over there has
always had literary and sentimental
associations, and finally has come to
be used for the most magnificent sum-
mer residences. This has gone much
farther than the use of the word in
England to mean villa. In Amer
lea "cottager" definitely signifies a
person who Is above staying at q
boarding house or hotel and has his
own summer home.-London Chroni-
Gle

same time, so that they may be cured
for hay at one cutting. Select those
that furnish the most leaves, and thus
diminish the amount of woody, indi-
gestible matter in hay.
1t is folly to try to skim off a second
crop from the meadows. If the growth
is too rank in the fall pasture it off
with young stock; but do not pasture
1t close enough to injure it's chances
OF living through the winter.
Nature provides for winter by pro-
noting rapid fall growth. The old
ideas Of getting something for nothing
have been exploded for long time,
and If we cut three tons of hay from
our meadows we must feed them &C.
cordingly and keep the bare spots COW
cred with grass instead of weeds.
If we supply better forage rations
for our live stock they will come
through the winter in better condition
and it will require less grain to keep
them in thrifty condition.
We, as a rule. are feeding too much
grain to our animals, and unless we
devote more attention to providing
nutritious forage rations we must ex-
pect less hardy and vigorous animals.

TWO NEUTRALITY PROBLEMS
PUT UP TO PRESIDENT
Arrival of German Warship at Homo
lulu Starts Quiz by the Navy
Department.

Washington, Oct 19.-President Will
son was confronted by two serious
questions in connection with the neu-
trality of the United States.
The first was in the form of a pro.
test presented by the British ambas-
sador that the port Of Manila, in the
Philippine islands, was being used as
base for German warships operating
in the Pacific ocean.
The second arose through the action
of the Marconi wireless station at
Honolulu in flashing to the United
States and about the Pacific ocean the
fact of the arrival at that port of the
German gunboat Geier.
The British protest was supported
by instances where steamers have
loaded coal and other supplies at
Manila, and while clearing for des-
ignated port have merely touched at
that port and gone to an unknown
point, where they have transferred
their stores to German men-ofwar.
In view of the British complaint,
Secretary Garrison, who has charge of
all Phlllpplne matters, sent long Ca
blegram to Governor General Harrison
directing him to make thorough in
vestigation. The encouragement also
will issue warming against violation
of neutrality and of the penalty of
seizure which will follow it's violation.
With reference to the action of the
Marconi station at Honolulu in giving
publicity to the news OF the ar..val of
the Geier, conference took place at
the White House between the presi,
dent, Acting Secretary of State Lsn-
sing and Acting Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt. ThereupOn Rear AID
miral Moore, in command of he naval
sation at Honolulu, was instructed
to close the station unless a satisfac-
tory explanation were made within "a
hours.

(By w. MILTON KELLY
The successful grass grower needs
to have a practical understanding of
all the species of tame grasses that
we grow as well as a knowledge OF
their requirements and conditions that
are essential to their growth. {
Much of the success and many times
all of the profits of our farms are di-
rectly dependent upon the amount and
quality of hay and forage produced
Very few farmers bestow much
thought, care or attention to their
grass land, and comparatively few can
name the different varieties Of
grasses that are growing on their own
farms
They SOW timothy and clover (Which
is not grass) in their rotations because
the custom of other farmers in their
section is to do the same thing.
They fail to devote their attention
to the study of the less common varie-
ties that are in many cases better
adapted to their particular kind of soil.
After committing few timothy and
clover seeds to their poorly fitted
fields they congratulate themselves
that they have done all that mortal
man can do and either blame the gov
ernment at Washington or their
weather for their mislicks and fail
ures.
A careful study of the English sys-
tenn of maintaining a permanent mead
ow and pasture would essentially aid
us in the management of our grass
lands.
There we may find from ten to
twenty kinds of grass growing on one
sod and all thriving and producing
hay and forage.
We go on our meadows when the
proper time comes, cut the grass, cure
it into hay and haul it to the stack
or barns and think no more about the
whole matter until the next year
comes
Then we go out and go through
the same motions, only we get
smaller crop, and keep this up until
the yield is SO small that we feel it is
necessary to pillow up the field and re-
seed it to clover and timothy again.
We don't 60 to the trouble Of top
dressing or fertilizing the meadow or
tile-drain it to prevent the water from
drowning it out during the wet sea-
