CASE Of DR.. HILL
MAY BE- SHAKE Down
Breach Of Promise Suit Against
Noted Lecturer Creates
Excitement

New York, oct. 1.-THE suit for
$lcc,u3O dsl rnges for breach of prom
Use brought against Rev. JcLln IVES
ley Hill, noted lecturer and preache-,
by Miss Lucille Covington, who is a
lecturer and c%hautauqua worker,
caused a sensation today.
Rev. He'll for five years was pastor
Of the Metropolitan tabernacle, close
friend Of ex-President Taft, and pre-
sident of the International Peace
Forum. 4 :
lMr. Hill is a leader of s,andpatism,
was chaplain Of the republican con-
ventions in Chicago in 1903 and 1912,
and stuatoed the country in behalf
of M,. Taft's candidacy.
Mr.. Hill, who is married and is tle
father Of john Warren Hill, a deputy
assistant district attorney, employed
Miss Covington for about six monr 4
in 1915 as manager OF his lecture
bureau.
MIR. Hill is in Detroit today to fill
a lecture engagement. Before going
he said that Miss Covingtpn had no
valid claim OF any kind against him
and was merely trying to compel him
to pass her money not due. her to
avoid unpleasant notoriety.
He told his attorney, cambridge
Colby, that he did not know Tie ma
ture of the action in which the sum.
mons had been served on him and
Nh. Colby himself got his first in
formation that the suit was for
breach of promise when he was told
of statements made by Miss Coving-
tons attorney.
L. F. Schmidt, attorney for Miss
Covington, said his client is about
80 years old, while the Rev. DR.. Hill
is 50 and that she first met him in
Chicago in 1910, when she was man
ager of t;le Lyceum branch of the
Western Vaudeville association.
Miss Covington told her attorney
that the clergyman fell in love with
her at once, and that in July, 1910,
shortly after they first met, the Rev.
DR.. Hin proposed marriage. Miss
Covington r~eciprocated the clergy
mans love, her attorney said, al
though he vas twenty years Older
than herself.
He then Drought her to New Work
and attached her to his cwn staff,
with tho understanding that lie would
marry her here. She says she dis
covered in the latter part Of 1911
DR.. Hill did not intend to marry her
he really couldn't, because he lad
"a wife.
Lawyer Schmidt described his
client as an able writer of fiction and
poetry. u 4.
,BAinbridge Colby, discussing the
suit against his client: said that, (De.
cause OF the fact that many threats
If diisagreeable publicity for the Rev.
DR.. Hill had been made before the
suit was actually filed, the bringing
Of the action is a miserable, rotten
thing; too disgusting to consider"
He said he was certain that his
client did not knew when the sum
mons was served thar the plaintiff
alleged that there had been a prom
Sc of marriage.

Summarized briefly. the essentials
to successful State highway admin
Istration, as demonstrated by the ex-
perience of the various State high
way departments, are as follows: (a)
The elimination of politics as a fac
tor in State highway work; CD the
control by the State highway depart
ment Of all work on which State funds
are expended; (c) adequate appro-
priations for continuous maintenance
of highways under efficient super
vision from the day the highways are
completed: (d) State supervision as

Bees and Clover Seed
Cross Pollinization T h r u G h Their
Agency More Efficient Than Other
Methods in Producing Seed.

Mechanical devices for pollinating
red clover have not been found sue
cessful by Investigators who have
been studying the problem of red
clover seed production. On the other
hand, the Investigators found that the
bumblebee is an efficient cross-pollina-
tor, and that under certain conditions
the honeybee may also be most useful.
For some years there has been an
insufficient supply of homegrown red
clover seed AS result not only mas
the price Of the seed been high, but
large quantities of foreign seed, which
is frequently inferior to the domestic,
have had to be imported. In conse-
tquence, the maintenance OF an ade-
quate clover acreage has become
rather serious problem. To remedy
the situation, attempts have Deen MADE
to ascertain the minimum quantities
, Of seed per acre required to secure a
satisfactory stand and the conditions
necessary to maintain such stand.
In addition, efforts have been made to
| develop a heavy-seeding, hardy strain
| of clover, and finally various mechani-
cal forms of pollination have been
experienced with.
A professional paper Of the U. 8.
Dept. of Agriculture has recently been
published containing results of expert
ments which show that the yield OF
(, seed obtained on heads which were not
pollinated or which were self-pollin-
ated in different ways, was practically
negligible. The actual amount was
less than one-half Of one per cent,
and this Insignificant quantity, it Is
said, may be accounted for by acci-
dental pollination from outside
sources. In contrast with these re-
suits it was found that the bumblebee
was a BILE to pollnate from 80 to 80
flowers a minute in dry weather.
When few nectar-producing plants
are available it was found that the
honeybee also collects large quantities
Of pollen from red clover and in the
process cross pollinization of the flow
ers takes place.
Hand operated brushes for cross
poIlination were also Experimental
with. Instead of increasing the seed
yield, however. these were found
actually to decrease it-a fact which
is accounted for by the injuries the
flowers received from the bristles OF
the brushes.

sour cream. Souring Of cream Is most
| successful when controlled by means
OF clean favored sour skim milk, or
whole milk starter.
To make the starter, whole milk or
skim milk may be used, but the latter
Is preferable because the top Of the
starter must be thrown away. Take a
certain amount of either depending
on the amount OF cream to be churned
| e to 3 gallons to every 10 gallons Of
cream). Place this milk in q covered
vessel where 1t can be kept at tenn
perature of 70 degrees or even IS, II
1t is desired that it should sour in a
shorter period. At 70 degrees, as a
rule, 1t takes from Is to "a hours
for 1t to become thick. When the
starter is sour, 1t is ready to be added
to the cream. but first discard an inch
from the top. A smooth, glossy ap-
pearance with a clean milk acid taste
and aroma indicates a good starter.
Stir this we'll and add to the cream.
When the cream has been held at
churning temperature for a period Of
two or three hours, it is ready to be
churned. This temperature should
vary with the season (surnmer 1884
degrees F.; winter $500 degreesIF ),
lactation periods of cows, kind of feed
the cows are consuming, and amount
Of butter churned per gallon of cream.
Do not fill the churn over one-third
full, because If more cream than this
Is put in the churn 1t will lengthen
the churning period. The usual time

The old methods of putting milk In
shallow pans in cool place, or IN
deep cans in tank of cold water,
are still in use, but not all the cream
Is recovered by these methods How
ever, these are more satisfactory than
the so-called water separator, which
is nothing but a fraud--a piece OK
apparatus deceiving to the users. the
most satisfactory method of obtaining
cream from milk on the farm Is by
the use of standard make of hand
separator. The cost of such ma
chine may seem high, but when the
amount of butter fat is compared with
the butter fat obtained from the same
milk by other methods one can easily
figure how long it will take to save
the cost of the machine.
There are several makes of hand
separators on the market. The prin-
ciple upon which they do their work
is practically the same, but there Is
difference In their efficiency and dura-
bility If the farmer has a preference
for a certain make of machine, and
is satisfied that it is durable and will

for him to buy, but the man who has
no preference, who simply wants a

Marketing Peaches

The peach on account of it's very
perishable nature, must be marketed
as soon as possible after reaching ma
turity; therefore, the proper dispatch
and distribution present many dlfhcul-
ties. Peaches will not stand delay,
even when graded, packed, and
handled in the best possible manner.
If the grower Of apples is not salts
fed with the price offered at the time
of harvest, he can store certain varle-
ties until the following spring, when
prices may be better. Peaches, on the
,ther hand, must be disposed of i'm
mediately If not already sold when
loaded on the cars they must be
started at once toward the market,
and If they are not sold while en-
route it is important that they go to
a market not already overstocked. An
oyersupply may occur in one market
meaning heavy losses to certain grow
ers, while at the same time cofsum-
ers may be paying high prices IN other
localities. 1t is probable that many
smaller towns could serve as carload
distributing points If local dealers in
these towns would cooperate in buy
ing peaches by the carload and in
pushing their sale.
The problem Of peach marketing is
one of irregular production and of I'M
satisfactory preparation and distribu-
ton rather than of over-productlon.
The increased consumption of Cali
forr1ia oranges made possible by
effective distribution Is an example OF
results accruing from care in the mar
keting Of a crop of which there IS a
comparatively uniform supply.

Fig. Thank for Cold Water.

On a certain farm in Hooking Coun-
ty, Ohio, alfalfa was introduced by
accident about twenty years ago.
Seed was purchased for mammoth
clover, which was sown on wheat IN
April About one-half of the seed
proved to be alfalfa, which came up
nicely in the wheat and was thought
at the time to be sweet clover. The
plants came ON we'll after the wheat
was harvested, and upon investigation
were found to be alfalfa. This led to
the establishment Of the five to six
year rotation; corn, wheat, followed
by alfalfa for three or four years. Dur
ing all these years this method of
seeding has been uniformly successful.
The, method of seeding in wheat is as
follows: The alfalfa seed is sown
during the first part Of April each
year, when the soil is dry, and Is COW
cred by using spike-tooth harrow.
1t is desirable to get the seed into the
soil before the usual wet SPELL that
frequently comes the latter part OF
April in this section.
About the middle Of August the
wheat stubble is clipped and good
crop Of alfalfa hay is cut about the
! first Of the following October. No
advantage has been found from allow
| ing this growth to remain on the
ground through the winter.

to alfalfa in standing corn with good
results, and this year about 20 acres

When the buttermilk has thoroughly
