WAS A PROPER SUBSTITUTE
Senator Cassius p. Gink Felt He and
Manager Of His Campaign
Were One.

1t is no mere trifing matter, we
learn from a German friend Of ours
who read it in a German paper, to
be a person in high official place IN
America. The trouble is that every
body thinks he Is entitled to shake
hands with you upon all sorts Of oc-
casiOns. The sad case Of Cassius p.
Gink is cited in evidence. Mr. Gink
had been elected senator from west
ern state. He arrived in the capital
and held q reception. A thousand
people came to shake hands with him.
After he had shaken hands with every
one Of the thousand there was let
up and the new senator stepped to the
window for breath of air. Outside
in the street he saw 1000 people more
people waiting to be admitted.
He was in despair. He flew from
the window saying. "By heck" a
very strong expression indeed. Then
suddenly he laid hold Of the young
man who had managed his campaign
and who was now installed as his Sec
rotary. He marched that young man
into the middle Of the reception room.

LIME OF Benefit
TO PUDDLED SOILS
Increase in Yield in Single Year
Will Pay for Necessary
Ingredient.

(By B. II. HITES, West Virginia Expert
ment Station)
Nothing in agricultural science or
practise may be mentioned with more
assurance than the beneficial effect of
lime on easily puddled stiff clay soils.
This is so nearly matter Of common
knowledge that the wonder Is that
anyone will worry along with such
soils year after year, and even from
one generation to another, while the
possible increase in yield in single
year will often pay for the necessary
lime.
The trouble with such soils Is due
to the extreme fneness OF the arti-
cles, All the soils are very much
finer than most of the people would
readily believe, and the clay soils are
the finest of all. Soils consisting
largely Of clay PARTICLES are likely to
be too compact. Normal movement
Of air and water and easy genera
ton of roots are impossible. These
very fine particles, when wet, tend to
SUCK together; II worked wet they
form a plastic mass, which on drying
shrinks and becomes very hard.
If handful Of such soil be worked
into a plastic mass 1t will become
very hard when dry; but II the test
be repeated with clays to which a
small quantity Of caustic lime has
been added. the mass when dry will
crumble easily between the fingers.
Lime destroys the adhesiveness of
clays, making them more open, mel
low and easy to work. Air, water
and plant roots can get through
them much more easily. They suffer
less from extremes Of wet and dry
weather. They respond more gener-
ously to cultivation and manuring.
For tho purpose In question two or
three tons of burnt lime per acre
should be applied. The very marked
improvement SO easily accomplished
is noticeable for many years; it Is
indeed one OF the most enduring er-
fects Of lime.

Hero of War of 1912.

One hundred years ago Capt. David
Porter, one of the naval heroes Of the
War of 1912, was given a great pop
ular ovation by the people Of Philadel-
phia. Ten days previously Captain
Porter had reached New York after
a long and hazardous voyage from
Valparaiso, where on March 20, he
had commanded the frigate Essex in
her gallant, but unsuccessful fight
against the British ships Phoebe and
Cherub. Upon their arrival In New
York, the surviving officers and mem.
bers of the crew Of the Essex were
given an enthusiastic welcome From
New York Captain Porter proceeded
to Philadelphia, where another pop
ular ovation awaited him. On his ar
rival in the suburbs of the city the
horses were taken from his carriage
and it was drawn to the hotel by the
populace.

PUT IN COMPLETE
DRAINAGE SYSTEM
No Better or Safer Investment
for Average Farmer Than
Plan of Tile Drains.
(By w. M. KELLY.)

There has been much discussion In
the agricultural press concerning the
best investments for farmers. In my
opinion there Is no better or safer In
veotment for the average farmer, than
tile drainage on such parts of the
farm az fall to produce maximum
crops during wet seasons.
There are many acres OF naturally
fertile soil that are not paying the
owner the cost OF working, that could
be made the most productive portion
OF the farm, II good system Of under
draining were put In.
In many cases the first crop will pay
the entire cost of drainage. OF course
many farmers are so situated that
they cannot afford to put In the com
plete drainage system at one time.
My advice to such men Is to have
their plans made at one time, and do
little every year.

Use the hoe more; the hose less. A

If you must use a watering can,

Before the cucumber vines entirely
cover the ground, dig deep hole be-
tween each four hills and dump into II
a pallful of poultry droppings. Then
when vines not thus treated dwindle
for lack of food, these will find the
nourishment needed and will continue
to bear large, well formed fruit in
stead Of the defective sort too often
attributed to the effect of hot weather.
Gather the cucumbers every other
day, and do not let more than two or
three go to seed. The exertion Of ma
turing ripe fruit Is sufficient to form
many green ones. Even if some of
them do escape your eye until too
large for picking, use them for sweet
pickles, or better still, give them to
the hogs.
1t is cheaper to buy seed peas than
to waste the exertion of your vines

A residence should not be too plain
and unornamented in It's appearance;
yet at the same time there Is no need
of going to extravagant lengths In the
pursuit Of architectural beauty.
Many try so hard in their desire
for an artistic home and in their alb
horrence OF the plain, boxlike houses
that the designs they finally work out
and follow in building remind one of
a Chinese pagoda, or of pavilion at
the county fair.
1t is a good thing to look after the
artistic in house designs, but always
with moderation.
The little house illustrated IN the
accompanying perspective sketch and
floor plans Is Of very attractive de-
sign that is very popular. In this
house there are a number OF very
pleasing features which give the build
ing distinctive appearance; yet these
are in good taste and the dwelling
has sensible, homelike appearance.
With a good brick or solid concrete
foundation, the first story Of this
house Is covered with clapboards,
while the second story is finished with
cement plaster stucco, divided into
panels in the English halftimber style.
The second story also projects slight
ly beyond the line Of the first, in that
way keeping true to the English Eliz-
abethan models.
With the woodwork painted a soft
brown and with the stucco panels a
yellowish tint, an exceptionally at
tractive appearance is secured There
