C. A. R. MEN COMING
FROM EVERY STATE
Veterans at the Union Station
Today Are Numbered
by Thousands.
SPECIAL TRAINS LADEN
WITH BIG DELEGATIONS
Commander-in- Chief Palmer Among
Late Arrivals-Usefulness Of Sta
ton Hospital Demonstrated.

Thousands of civil war veterans ar
rived at the Union station today from
nearly every part of the United States.
The first trains to bring G. A. r. men
arrived early this morning. The pal
mer special" bringing the national
commander in chief, was several hours
late. 1t was one of three sections
bringing veterans from Illinois, Ohio
and other points of the middle west.
Many of the larger delegations are
coming on special trains or in special
coaches, but practically no train pulled
into the station today from any point
near or far that did not bring it's quota
of men wearing the blue uniform and
Grand Army insignia. The regular
trains brought veterans form innumer-
able odd points in groups of two, three
or more. By the time these small
groups had been picked up from one or
more states the delegations were of
no small proportions.
Two of the largest delegations to ar
rive today were one from Ohio, arriv-
ing this morning, and one from Phila-
delphia. arriving about noon. The
Ohio men brought with them their own
band, while the Philadelphians had a
special guard of twenty-five all Shout
dering guns and marching in company
formation.
Parties Due This Afternoon.
Among the special parties due to ar
rive this afternoon are delegations
from Michigan. Iowa and many middle
west points; Pottstown and Reading.
Pa. and Troy and Albany. n. Y. In
addition to those. already named vet
Grams from Maine, Minnesota and Della
ware came in today.
Quite a crowd of Westinghouse are
at the station greeting the veterans,
although the number today is rot as
great as was that of yesterday, when
at times the double line of onlookers
extended from the interior of the sta
ton all the way to the curbing outside.
1t is anticipated that a large number
will be on hand this evening, after the
working day is finished.
Several persons have been arrested at
soliciting persons to rent their rooms.
Hospital Proves Of Value.
The C. A. r. Hospital at the station
has proved it's usefulness already, al
though no large number of persons
have found it necessary to call there.
About twenty-five visitors have been
treated so far, according to DR.. ]. F.
Hilton. VINO is in charge.
These have not been limited to Grand
Army men. however, but a large per-
centage has been from among the gen.
eral visitors. The most serious case
which has received attention SO far
has been that of Talmadge Cooley of
Harrisonburg. Va, who was taken with
typhoid fever while on his way here
from Pittsburgh. His father. o. +.
Cooley. is with him and the young man
will be taken to his home this after
noon.

An ideal seed bed is one obtained by
plowing the land in the fall, then in
early spring narrowing it until the sur
face is smooth and thoroughly pulver
lied TO a depth of about 2 inches
Hence. where alfalfa follows small
grain q clover, or timothy sod, the
land should be plowed as soon as pos
sible after the crop has been removed,
thus allowing plenty Of time for at
least one or two good soaking rains
10 settle the soil we'll before seeding
time IL must be remembered that
frequent surface workings between the
time of plowing and seeding are abso
lutely necessary to conserve moisture,
kin weeds, and properly pulverize the
surface.
Unless the land has grown alfalfa
or sweet clover successfully within
the past FIVE years. it win be neces
sary to inoculate. The most efficient
method OF inocuation is to cover the
field from 200 TO 500 or more pounds
Of soil taken from a successful alfalfa
field or from where sweet clover is
growing
The soil for this purpose should be
taken spade deep and applied before
sowing the seed Usually it is better
to do this just before sowing, but good
results may be expected if applied a
week or two before seeding At all
times the soil should be narrowed in
Immediately after applying to prevent
the injurious effects Of sunlight A
few hours OF exposure may kill all the
inoculating bacteria.
The manner of applying the soil de-
pends largely upon the convenience
with which it can be secured When
near at hand, in unlimited quantities,
the easiest way Of applying is with
the manure spreader or from the back
of a wagon with shovels. When the
quantity is limited then scattering by
hand. the same as sowing seed. is the
most economical as well as the most
effective way of applying
The rate of seeding should be 25
pounds per acre. The seed should be
sown by itself; never with nurse

broadcasting by hand or with one of
the various makes of machines on the
market for that purpose. The seed
should be covered to a-de2th of about

TRAP NESTS ARE HELPFUL BUT
NOT ESSENTIAL TO THE
POULTRY KEEPER.
ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Trap nests have been used for years
and there are, | am tempted to say,
hundreds of different designs In use
today. Notwithstanding this fact trap
nests are still novelty to many poul
try raisers.
While trap nests have their use they
are not so necessary in the poultry
house as some would have us believe
The most important use for the trap
nest is to enable the breeder to get an
exact knowledge of the parentage Of
his birds. If he mates up several fe-
males with one male about the only
way he can keep the eggs laid by each
bird separate is by using the trap nest.
He can then hatch these eggs from DIFF
ferent hens separately, mark the
chicks and find out which mating pro-
duces the best results.
Another use is in breeding for egg
production BY getting a line on the
number of eggs produced by the fe-
males in the breeding pen and know
ing the ability OF the male to produce
high laying pullets it is possible 70
plan the breeding so as to build up
the egg laying abilities Of flock.
am afraid. however. that trap nests
viii never be popular with the smaller
producers. The disadvantages are
many. A large amount of time AID
attention is required to look after
them If yearly egg records are kept
it is necessary to make the rounds OF
the nests several times a day. Hens
know no holidays and il is just as
necessary to attend them Christmas,
New Years, or Fourth OF July as any
other day
