"The Kitchen Waltz"

While the tango is danced by compara-
tivey few o? society's elite the kitchen
waltz is INDUCED in daily by thousands of
women all over the country who are their
own chief cook and bottle washer.
This is the way it is done. A woman
decides to make an omeiet. she trots
gracefully to the left TO the ice box, re-
moves the eggs and fits hastily twenty
feet across the room to the kitchen table.
Here. after the proper pause, during
which time she beats the eggs, size ad-
vances carefully, carrying the bowl, 10
kitchen stove Another pause at the
stove and she reverses 20 feet back to the
pantry TO get platter, makes one more
trip of 20 feet back TO the table, makes
another last slide to the stove. That is
the kitchen waltz.
Yes dav after day women take any
number of steps, and go through any
number of figures and convolutions in the
different tasks they do about the kitchen
from stove to table, to pantry, across
to sink and back to the stove, and so on
III an endless series of figures, trots,
steps, slides and glides, which are more
complex than any maxine we have seen.

A Dangerous Business. ="

This phrase may have caught your eye:
The dangerous business OF being a
baby"
1t is the most dangerous business in
the world No regiment of soldiers ever
charged battery of such dangers as
many thousands of regiments of little
children face. The pitiful "Childrens
Crusade" that melted away in the East
ern forests-back there in the Middle
Ages-has its counterpart today for ever
and ever so many babies.
Homer describes one of his heroes as
having all the courage of a fly. John
Ruskin has most delectable comment
on The simile. The utter fearlessness
that comes from utter ignorance of fear,
from utter ignorance of danger-no lion
has it. no Richard has it, But the fly
has Ii, and the Greek god-hero, and the
little baby of the slums.
AT Balaclava someone had blunder
ed" They are blunders that make this
dangerous business of being a baby so
needessly dangerous. What better or
ders can be given by the civilization that
rules the fate of children than to counter
mand the blunders of the past?-Kansas

Further Use for Radium.

According to recent experiments in
Europe radium is instrumental in pre-
venting diseases of plants. For sew
eral years workers in agronomic sci
ence have been experimenting upon
the effect of radium on vegetation by
mixing radioactive substances with
the usual fertilizers. The numer-
GUS results obtained in this work
show that most plants, either grain
or flower, are remarkably stimulated
and give a better yield both in size
and quality, this being often seen in
the fine and healthy color Of the green
plants or leaves. The same plants are
in better condition to resist attacks
from various sources of disease, es-
pecially diseases known as cryptogam-
ic, which arise from spores or mold. It
seems that radium is to act as a pre-
ventive for such diseases as wheat
rust, rotting of potatoes, grapevine
mildew and many others which cause
detriment to agriculture.

STILL GROW ANCIENT GRAIN
Staff OF Life Made Use Of by Cave
DweIIers Is Cultivated Today In
Switzerland.

How old is bread? Disgruntled
boarders may have theories upon the
age of the particular bread served to
them, but that is beside the question.
So long as records of civilized man
go back bread has been the staff Of
life. 1t is somewhere in the history of
prehistoric man that man first learned
to grind his grain, make dough and
bake it on hot stones.
In the time of neolithic man, when
one branch of humanity for defense
drove piles in the edges of Swiss lakes
and built huts on their tops, bread was
made. That much at least is certain.
These stone age progressives had
learned to reap grain and probably to
cultivate it in rude way. They pos
sessed wheat of several varieties, bar
ley, rye and other kinds. Curiously
enough, two of these prehistoric varie-
ties are still cultivated in Switzerland,
not far from where the lake dwellers
lived
These are the BILE mottu, still grown
In La Gruyere, and the nouette de
Lausanne. The first of these came
from the Caucasus, but no one ven-
lures to guess as to how the lake
dwellers came to have it.
Many mills have been found suited
to make coarse meal of the grain,
and even fragments of the bread have
been kept in the clay vessels that es-
capped fracture.
It is due to the lake dwellers' GUS
tom of building their houses on piles
that we know so much about them.
The mud beneath their huts made an
excellent trap to preserve things for
the modern scientist.

LsNE UNEQUALED AS
A SOIL imp PR0VER
Should Be Worked In During cultiva-
ton.
w. E. HANGEF
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Farmers everywhere have now
started their spring work. Manure
spreaders are busy getting manure
out on fields to be plowed for corn.
No doubt many are thinking of using
lime on their fields. Why not use it
on the field to be planted to corn?
This is an excellent plan because the
lime can be spread on the land after
plowing and worked into the top lay
ers Of the soil at the same time that
the seed bed is being prepared.
The mistake is often made of using
too light an application. Not less
than ton of burned lime or two tons
of ground lime stone or oyster shells
should be used per acre. Such an ap-
piication as this need not be given
oftener than every once in five or six
years so that the cost for lime would
not be more than so or 60 cents an
acre per year.
While the good effects of lime may
not be very evident on the corn crop,
it will no doubt increase the grain
crop following and certainly stimulate
the growth of clovers and grasses the
following year Probably in no other
way can like amount Of money be
expended to greater advantage.
In buying lime it has been found
that if pure burned lime costs $2.75
per ton at the kiln, then hydrated lime
or Stacked lime should be $2.10 and
ground limestone $1.50 per ton. What
kind you should use depends entirely
upon it's quality, price, and the distance
it can be hauled to advantage.

WE SHOULD HAVE
BETTER GRASS YIELDS
Seeding Timothy To Itself With Lib
eral Top Dressing Doubles
the Yield.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station

STATION.
The yield of timothy hay in Mary
land, both in quality and in the tons
per acre is far below what could be
proftably produced on the land now
in meadow. In fact, farmers have
harvested SO many unsatisfactory
crops of late years that they are in
clined to try something new as a
forage crop ii anything can be found
that would be an Improvement on
timothy, red top, or the clovers.
The remedy, ! believe, is not to be
found in new crop, but in better
cultural methods than those we al
ready have. Recent experiments at
the Maryland Experiment Station indi-
cate that much improved yield may
be secured by seeding grass to itse I
in the early fall and by the proper use
of fertilizers in the spring. These
tests carried on in three fields, one Of
timothy, one of red top, and one of a
mixture OF timothy, red top, and clover
showed that phosphoric acid when ap-
piled alone as in raw bone, acid rock,
or any other material had very little
effect on timothy, red top, or any
other grass. On the other hand
nitrogen OF ammonia, especially as
found in Nitrate of Soda, regularly
gave large increase in yield.
Taking into account, the ease of
applying the fertilizer and the quality
of the hay, the best results were got
ten by using equal parts of nitrate of
soda and acid phosphate at the rate of
$50 pounds of each per acre. AS COM
pared to strips of grass adjoining that
had no fertilizer used on it the yield
in 1912 was 1.39 tons per acre as
against 2.94 tons where the above mix
ture was applied as top dressing.
In 1918 the yield was 81 tons, as
against 293 tons or over three times
the yield on land where no fertilizer
was used; $50 pounds of nitrate of
sode was found to be the most
economical amount to use in making
the greatest profits possible by top
dressing.
The fertilizer should be applied as
soon as the grass starts to grow.

A Wonderful Bird.

One day wonderful bird tapped at
the window of Mrs. Nansen's (wife of the
famous arctic explorer) home at Chris
tiana, Norway Instantly the window
was opened, and in another moment she
covered the little messenger with kisses
and caresses. The carrier pigeon had
been away from the cottage thirty long
months. but it had not forgotten the way
home. 1t brought note from Nansen,
stating that all was going well with him
and his expedition III the polar regions.
Nansen had fastened message to the
bird and turned it loose. The frail cour-
ier darted out into the blzzardy air. 1t
flew like an arrow over thousand mile Of
frozen waste and then sped forward over
another thousand miles ot ocean and
plains and forests and one morning en-
tered the window of the waiting mistress
and delivered the message which she had
been awaiting so anxiously.

LEewEAKNEss IN CHICKS.

A small flock of chickens on free
range will usually get plenty of bone
forming material from the bugs and
insects they pick UP, but in the case
of large fiocks there isn't enough to go
around, especially if kept on re-
stricted run. Lime and ashes will help
some, but are not enough. The safest
plan is too keep some ground or granu-
lated bone in dish before the chicks
at all times.
They will eat very little, but this
little they want badly. Let's not have
any weak-legged crooked-breasted,
hump-backed, loose-feathered, un-
healthy looking creatures in our back
yards this spring. A few cents worth
of bone will work wonders.

ALWAYS STOOD FOR "THE"
"Ye" of Our Forefathers Has Too
Long Been lenorantly Mis-
pronounced.

How does it happen that in copying
and reading ancient manuscripts we
call the character our ancestors
meant for "the" by the ridiculous
'ye?"
They said "the" just as we do, and
the only apparent reason for mis-
taking the character is that two CEN
turies ago the letter "h" was usual
ly written with a tail below the line,
and with raced top, which made it
look like our "y." Then the word
was so frequently used that it was
contracted, just as the word "and"
was then treated and continues to
be treated to this day by many Of us.
When I was a boy, more than 80
years ago, the alphabets in our school
books always ended with the short
and" We called it "ampersand," and
considered it a fine snapper when we
ratified off the alphabet. Sometimes
when sufficiently cultured we gave it
the full title "and-per-se-and."
Now, 1t is likely that our "&" will
become obsolete, just as "ye' has be-
come. Then our descendants of the
next century or two will be puzzled,
perhaps; but do not think they will
be so foolish as to say "ampersand"
when reading our manuscripts and
coming to the little Quirk we meant
for "and." Do let us drop saying
"ye."-The Dial.
