Waiting for them in and about the church of St. Sophia the invaders found a multitude of Christians, 10000 of them. waiting with sublime faith the miracle that would deliver them from the Moslems.
 More than once during this time was Constantinople threatened by force; more than once was the Dardanelles passed by unfriendly warships. but not single time did the city actually sus- tain other than a diplomatic siege. In 1907 an English fleet under Admiral Duckworth entered the Dardanelles and appeared before Constantinople.

 This is the last time that the city was ever actually captured by an in vading host. Constantinople has been often besieged since then, though not after the medieval fashion. but 1t has never since fallen.
 How Turks Took City.

 In 1929 Constantinople was seriously threatened by Russian land forces. but not until 1878 did Russia actually ap- proach the goal of her ambition. Noi until her soldiers were actually in sight of Constantinople did the sultan accept her proffered terms of peace.
 From 1878 until 1912 Constantinopls was not menaced by an enemy. But fin the fall of 1912 the Balkan allies. after a series of amazing and dramatic victories, swept over the plains of Thrace and attacked the defenses oi Tchatalja, practically the last defense of the city. What the disorganizec Turkish armies would have done alone cannot be guessed, but they had their old ally. diplomacy, on their side. as well as the dread cholera whick at- tackled the Bulgarians and Turks alike

 Constantinople finds herself more seriously menaced than in all her 4s2 years of Turkish rule. Not that she has not been besieged and threatened during that time, for indeed besieging Constantinople either on the field of battle or in the subtler precincts of diplomacy has always been the sport of kings.
 More than once in the last century the besiegers were practically in sight of the city. and in the Balkan war the residents of the city paused in the course of their daily avocations to listen to the roar of the enemies guns in the distance. But always before something had happened to save Constantinople. First Recorded Siege.

NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.

II is common practice with some
farmers in Maryland who grow clover
seed to allow the clover to lie in the
field In wfndrows or cocks for several
weeks Or even months after cutting
before they stack II and draw II TO
the barn for threshing. The result OF
such exposure is that many seeds will
terminate or become swollen so that
even though subsequently dried they
ARE Or no value Oh ait best or only very
low vitality.
The clover should be allowed to be-
come thoroughly ripe. II the seeds
are not thoroughly dried in the head
when cut, and spell Of wet weather
follows many seeds may b. destroyed
The best practice II to allow the clover
to become ny ripe AZ possible without
loss from SCATTERING; when the seed
is harvested Cut 1t in good dry wealth
er and then cure 1t and protect from
exposure to rains, the same NV hay
If the huller can b. procured at cnce

nomical way. If necessary to delay
the hulling. loss Of seed will be avoided
by storing the clover In the barn or

POULTRY SHOULD s. FREED
FROM MITES.
Owners Of Farm FIocks Can Easily
Rid Them Of Mites BY Simple
Treatment.
ROY II. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

During the warm weather or SUM-
mer, chicken mites thrive and multi
ply at an almost inconceivable rate.
If you expect your hens to do wen,
you will have to see that they are
kept free from these pests
These mites hide under the rooSts
and in cracks and crevices near them.
For this reason, 1t is always advisable
to have the fixtures and inside OF the
house as smooth an possible. Often
times poles with the natural twrk left
on ere used al roosts, bum The rough
bark makes an ideal place. for mites
10 hide and after the bark loosens, as
It will with age, the mites find an al
most ideal place to breed. II you use
the poles, take Off the bark and smooth
them up. Dressed 2x4'g with the two
top edges rounded are very good for
roosts.
Hens infested with mites do not do
well and often times acquire peculiar
sniffle, even In seasons when colds are
mot prevalent. Mites keep the hens
aRitated all the time they are on tho
roosts and do not allow them the rest
they should have. The proper way to
handle mites is to prevent their getting
start III the roosts and especially
the places where the roosts are joined
20 the house are painted with ordi-
nary kerosene oil at least once a month.
little trouble from mites will occur:
When they once get foot-hold, how.
ever, you will have your hands full.
You can exterminate them with kero-
sene, but not at one application, unless
you get 1t into every crack and crevice.
1t is best to put it on once or twice
week for a time and then when the
mites are subdued not quite 80 often.
Personally, like to put II On with
paint brush. You will be able TO
locate the cracks containing mites by
the tiny white specks near and in
them.

"Use American grown alfalfa seed
The question Of what kind OF alfalfa

one Of late years. Tests over the State
have shown that ordinarily European
seed IL a. good a. the American grown
seed lin Maryland, but or late years much
OF the so-called European grown seed
