WAR HORSES IN BATTLE.
Cavalry Mounts Revel In the Dash ane
 Fury of the Charge.

Cavalry Mounts Revel In the Dash and
 Fury of the Charge.
 It will probably surprise you, said retired colonel of hussars, to learn that cavalry horse usually enjoys battle at least as much as his rider and dis plays as much courage in It. He will chafe and stamp with impatience while waiting for the order to charge and at the signal will dash forward like a greyhound released from the leash, full of fire and fury and often neighinS wildly. At the moment of contact with the enemy he vii! rear. striking and biting savagely at the opposing horses and trampling down the infantry.
 When his rider falls he will dash along with his fellows and crash as gallantly into the foe. In the famous charge of the Light brigade scores of riderless horses swept down the wal ley of death." laundering through tho smoke on to the Russian guns. and gal loped back In safety with lhe. shat tered remnant of the brigade. Five horses raced neck and neck with Lord Alfred Paget. who rode in advance Of the line. so eager were they to get a, the enemy.
 And not only is the well trained charger as brave as his rider He is often as intelligent. He knows the bugle calls just as well and answers them as promptly In fact. l have known many case in which a horse has put his rider right when he has mistaken an order and has gone fault lessly through a maneuveT in spite ol the efforts of his mistaken master to make him do the wrong thipg.-IOndon Tit Bits.

CLEAN UP THE ASPARAGUS BED

At this time the tops of the aspara-
gus growth should be moved off with
out delay. In cases where there are
many large weeds in seed, the now
ing should be done when the growth
IS damp SO that a minimum number
of seeds will rattle out upon the
ground. Rake Immediately and allow
the material to lie in windows until
dry. The material being very rough
and woody, is practically worthless
for any purpose except for mulching
under apple trees. The specialist in
market gardening at the New Jersey
Experiment Station recommends that
the asparagus tops be burned on the
fields as they lie in the windows.
Such practice not only saves the ex-
pense of removing the bulky material
from the field, but also destroys mil
lions of weed seeds, asparagus seeds
and insects injurious to the crop, and
helps to eradicate any plant diseases
which may be present.
After the material is burned, the
field may be narrowed in different d.
rections. This will loosen clumps of
sod, perennial weeds and sour grass
so that the freezing of winter will
tend to destroy them. When conclud-
ing the narrowing, leave slight de-
pressions between the rows, so that if
washing should take place the crowns
OF the roots will not be exposed.

SOIL PROTOCOL.

The Importance of bacteria as a
factor in soil fertility has been thor
oughly established. The control of
soil bacteria and their use in practical
farming is now widespread. Howev-
er, many problems in soil fertility re-
main unsolved. 1t is believed by sci
entists that protocol, a group of min
ute, single-celled animals, are also a
factor in soil fertility.
Scientific Investigations of the hab-
its of these organisms are being con-
Quoted both in Europe and in the
United States. What is probably the
leading research work in soil proto-
o in this country is being done in
the laboratories of the New Jersey
Agricultural Experiment Station by
graduate students of Rutgers College.
Mr.. George P. Koch, a research fell
low of Rutgers, is the author of an
article entitled "Soil PROTOCOL" which
appeared in the Journal of Agricultu-
raj Research for September. The ar
tlcle covers forty-nine pages and is
the result of several months ~investi-
cation by Mr.. Koch. 1t is devoted
chiefly to a discussion of the effect of
such factors as type of soil, moisture,
and temperature upon the develop
ment of soil protocol.
Although no definite conclusions
have yet been reached, it is believed
that a knowledge of soil protocol may
have an important influence upon
practical agriculture in the future.

SWEET POTATO
SEED SELECTION.

The sweet potato crop is now being
harvested throughout the southern
half of New Jersey. The deficiency
in potash has had no apparent eff
feet upon the yield. However, dis
eases attacking sweet potatoes pre-
sent a serious problem. During re-
cent years they have caused vines to
Ego down" during the summer and
have been responsible for rot in stor-
age.
Approaching the Importance of the
sweet potato industry in the state,
the New Jersey Agricultural Expert
ment Station, with the United States
Department of Agriculture, has ad-
vocated a system of management in
tended to control the diseases of field,
storage, and seed bed. This work is
under the direct charge Of Mr.. R. W.
DeBaun of the station.
He advocates that preventative
measures for next years crop begin
at digging time this fall. In select
ing seed from the best hills for shape,
size, color, and number of prime po-
tatoes, use caution not to select hills
infected with brown stem. This dis
ease may be easily detected by split
ting the vines at the top of the
ground where they branch. Those
hills whose vines show ever a slight
BROWNIES, should be discarded. Po-
tatoes saved from diseased hills pro-
duce infected slips in the seed bed.
Act at once in the careful selection
of seed. For further information
write to your county demonstrator if
you have one. If not, write to Mr..
R. w. DeBaun, New Brunswick, N. J.
who will send full information to
those requesting it.

TREATMENT FOR DISEASES
OF KIEFFER PEAR.

Experiments for the control of the
"brown blotch" of the Kieffer pear,
and also the "black spot" of the same
pear, have been conducted for the past
two years by the department of plant
pathology of the New Jersey Agri-
cultural Experiment Station at New
Brunswick. 1t has been demonstrate
ed that late spraying will control both
of these pests. A detailed statement
of these experiments, with recommen-
dations, will be published by the sta
ton during the winter. In the mean
time, the plant pathologist will be
glad to answer any inquiries concern
ing the treatment of these diseases.

THE SIGN OF THE CROSS"
Great PhotO-Play Will Be Presented
At Strand Theatre Today.

Manager Steelman will give Pleas
antville moving picture lovers anoth-
er treat this Saturday afternoon and
evening in the presentation of Will
son Barrett's famous drama, "The
Sign of the Cross" The drama had a
wonderful run and Mr.. Steelman is
to be congratulated on bringing such
a splendid photo-play to Pleasantville.
The film makes a deep and abiding
impression. In the pictures of the in
spired martyrs going gladly to their
doom; of the shrinking terrified boy,
strengthened by the grace of God to
win his immortal crown; of the final
trial and temptation of the Christian
girl, and lastly in the triumphant calm
of the last moments of the woman
and the man, strong in faith and love,
everything is so beautifully felt, so
simply conceived, so classically treat
ed, that the appeal of the subject is
overpowering.
In the role of Marcus Superbus,
William Farnum attains the Hottest
dramatic heights of his career. He
is always noble and dignifed, both in
his love passages with Mercia, or
when turning in fierce wrath upon his
enemies and calumniators. Miss Ro-
sina Henley makes a sweet and wo-
manly Mercia.
The mechanical effects of the pro-
duction, the large camera stretches
and marvellous settings, rejecting in
faithful name the artistry and phys
ical beauty of ancient Roman palaces,
are unsurpassed and measurably aid
the intense dramatic story. The sub
ject as a whole is n of the most
~pretentious spectacular photo-plays
ever released.

MAD AT PAINT

25c a gallon for paint is about $3.50
on the average job, and lots of men
waited last year for that; but they
didn't reckon; they got mad; wouldn't
pay it.
There are times to get mad and
refuse to pay; but when ones prop
erty needs protecting is no time to
get mad and not paint.
Besides, it costs more to get mad
and wait than to paint.
Getting mad doesn't do any good
to your property; paint does it good
by keeping-out water; no water no
rot; no paint, some water and rot;
and a little rot is more than enough
to make a man liberal towards his
painter and paint.
Paint costs not a cent. All the
paint in the world, so long as it keeps
out water, costs not a cent.
