Improved Method Of Farming.

Great interest is taken In France
just now in a new method by which
the yield of crops per acre Is enor'
mously increased. In one test case
the increase of wheat has been three
times above that grown in similar
soil in the same neighborhood.
The remarkable value Of the meth
cd is indicated by the statement that
1t has made twenty grains OF wheat
produce 100000 In one year.
The method consists in preparing
seed beds in widely spaced lines on
very mellow land; then at the end
of two months dividing the tufts
springing from each grain, replanting
each of these rooted shoots thus de-
tached, and finally in hoeing and
earthing up these new plants many
time in such manner as to provoke
at all the points brought into init
mate contact with the earth the
growth of numerous adventurous
shoots, each of which bear an ear.

DANGEROUS Jewelry.

All bracelets and rings have been
barred from West Virginia factories
by the state labor commissioner, /. V.
Barton. He declares that jewelry
worn on the hands of working girls
has caused more accidents in the
factories OF West Virginia than al
most any other thing.
Bracelets, especially OF the chain
variety, not tight fitting, invariably
drag a hand or arm into some fast
whirling machine, and rings are also
apt to CATCH" he says.
Many industrial companies have co
operated with the state labor depart
ment, and some manufacturers have
already taken the precaution to bar
jewelry from their factories.

any rate, In that part of the
country which is opposite
Corfu. For two years this
capital hunting ground has been closed
TO sportsmen while human warfare
ragged all around it. but no fighting has
taken place over the 20 or 30 miles
of seacoast which offer the best and
most getat-able shooting, so the game
has had a good rest, and, what is more,
las probably been driven down from
the disturbed regions into this quieter
haven. 1t is easy to pass two or even
three months in shooting the coverts
round the harbors which are opposite
Corfu. and four of these are such snug
little anchorages that even an open
boat would be perfectly secure Cut
tiers, small but well found, can be hired
quate for this trip. The sea journey
from Corfu to the farthest harbor is
not more than Is miles, and to the
nearest about eight. so. as the little
cutters sail well and the wather Is
smooth. great pleasure is added to the
trip from a sailing point of view. The
scenery rather resembles Scotland:
deep water and good holding are found
ell along, and, In fact, the little inlets
are so snug and well masked by the
mountains that a 500-ton yacht can
lay Just inside and be quite hidden.

chances are they see the sportsman

of pelicans pay occasional visits to

Besides bird-shooting, there is good
sport for the rifle. The country teens
with wild boar, and In a lesser de-
gree deer come out Of one covert. The
local shepherds form up as heaters;
from SIX to eight are enough to drive
the coverts properly, but the more the
merrier, and two francs a day is all
they ask; the head beaten. who places
the guns and knows the run OF the
game, wants, of course. a little more.
