advice to unwedded young men: Never
propose to your girl when she is
dressed in her best bib and tucker Go
call on her and stay until about ten
O'Clock. Then leave but leave your
glove also. Call the next morning to
get your glove. If she comes to the
door with one cock down, shoe on one
foot and a slipper on the other, her
old dress on, take to the woods as fast
as you can. Beat IT, Never mind the
glove. Let the old man wear it if it
fits him. But if she comes TO the door
and Rreets you with a smile, wearing
neat dress, her sleeves rolled up
ready to work, grab her.

LIME WORKS WONDERS
N MARYLAND SOIL
Makes Possible An Increased Yield OF
Two Barrels Per Acre.

For the past A1 years Illinois farm
err. undsr the direction Of their Agrl-
cultural College have been applying
the reroarkable results obtained from
lime tests made by the Maryland Elk
pertinent Station. the results Of which
were published In 1906. Experiments
covering twelve years showed that the
difference in yield between land I'M
lined and land treated with lime car
Donate or sround shells was in an
average Of four corn crops. I'VE bar
rels per acre. The least difference
shown between unlimed land and any
other form of lime used was three bar
reis, in four crops OF corn or an aver
age increase of from three-fourths to
one and a quarter barrels OF corn per
acre a year. So far an investment OF
two to three dollars an acre the return
per year was - to IS and for four
crops for the same investment in lime.
SIG to $24 These results are obtain
able on most unlmed soils of South
ern Maryland and would mean an in
crease in income to the average farm
of 5000 to $500 a year as the case
might be. If only one-fourth OF the
cultivated lands of Maryland showed
a similar response to the use OF lime
it would make possible an annual in
crease in the net returns from the
farms OF over five millions of dollars.
Such results would certainly justify
the investment of $4,000 in soil in
vestigations as proposed by the Gov
ernor in his message to the Legisla-
ture.

ARE YOU LETTING YOUR LANDS
LOAF?

Let us consider a typical
Southern hill farm of 100 acres:
Such an average farm will have
from 40 to so acres in cultiva-
ton, from three to ten acres in
pasture, so-called, and the re-
mainder, from 80 to 100 acres,
is lying out, a source Of loss,
rather than a source of income.
This waste land represents an in
vestment of from SO to $50 an
acre, and the interest on this
plus taxes will amount to from
81 to 81 an acre each year. How
to change this loss into a gain IS
a problem we must solve.
How this can be done is nearly
always largely a local problem,
but it is certainly safe to say
that in nearly every case the
pasture area should be enlarged
and grasses and clovers seeded.
Particularly is this the surest
means of making profitable the
rougher lands that should not be
put under cultivation. Then it
will often pay we'll, where only
one or two horses and mules are
used, to put more of the level or
gently rolling lands under the
pillow, in order that implements
may be handled to greatest ad-
vatage and that human labor
may be made more effective.
You would not hire a man to
work for you and then let him
remain idle all day; how about
your loafing lands that you have
paid to work for you?-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.

THE FOOL AND THE AUTO

Because of the automobile ac-
cidents that have recently an
nounced the recurrence Of the
spring touring season, the public
has had one its spasmodic spells
Of indignation at automobiles in
general and reckless drivers in
particular, but, as usual, nothing
seems likely to come of it. The
speeders will be frightened into
slowing down for a little while,
and then the accidents will be for
gotten. Then another case will
crop up, with the drivers head
full of whiskey or empty brains,
and the whole proceeding will be
repeated. Accidents are bound
to happen with high-powered
machines traversing roads used
also by horse-drawn vehicles and
foot passengers, but there are
two things which might be done
to reduce them to a minimum.
In the first place the license
requirements are too lenient.
Any one, possessing the requir-
ed age and the required fee, may
obtain a drivers license; does
anyone think for minute that a
street car company, for instance,
would hire a man as motorman
simply because he asserted that
he knew how to run a car care
fully? A transportation COM
pany would have to be shown,
and so would any other corpora
ton except the State.
The irregular manner in which
the speed laws are enforced is
also disgusting. On Sundays, or
when some town needs money, a
few automobiles are hailed into
court and fined. In other places,
where accidents occur there is no
enforcement whatsoever of any
rule or regulation. And at night
there can be no enforcement in
town or country, for the simple
reason that after an automobile
has passed, it is impossible to
see the license number on a car,
and the binding headlights pre-
vent one from seeing the number
as car approaches. Automo-
bilists should be compelled to
have at least one of their license
tags plainly lighted at night.
AS a final precaution, let the
license of any man convicted of
running a car while he is intoxi-
Gated be absolutely revoked, let
heavier fines be imposed for
dangerous speeding and a reason
able rate tolerated in the open
country. But the main thing is
enforce the laws!-The Easton
Ledger.

POTATO SEED FROM
NORTH NOT NEEDED
Seed Grown In Garrett County Gives
Higher Yields Than Northern
Grown.

T. H. WHITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
In the spring of 1911, Jas. D. Harvey,
Of Deer Park, Garrett County, for
warded to the Maryland Experiment
Station a sample of the Empire State
potato He said 1t grew especially
we'll under his conditions, and he had
been growing it without change Of
seed for thirty years. 1t was planted
alongside of a sample of the same
variety from dealer in Northern New
York. The growth and appearance
we're almost the same. They with
stood the drouth better than many OF
the other varieties and were the best
yielders Of that season. The Garrett
County seed yielded at the rate of
twenty bushels per acre more than
the New York seed.
Experiments begun n early as the
spring OF 1908 along this line indicate
that the cool climate Northern seed is
grown in accounts for its superiority
over home grown seed. So the good
results from Garrett County seed are
probably due to the cooler climate it
is grown in There is no good reason
why farmers living in the mountain
Gus districts of Maryland should not
supply the Eastern and tidewater
counties with better seed than can be
grown III Maine. This could, of course,
best be done by concerns or associa-
tons that could handle the potato seed
In carload lots and keep Maryland
money in the State.
