Speeding Up the Plow

FOURTEEN acres per hour is the new
blowing record just established on the
Purdue University Farm. Not long
ago it would have taken fifty men and one
hundred and fifty horses to accomplish
this result; but this record was made by
one machine and four men.
The machine pulled fifty pillow bottoms
and cut strip fifty-eight feet four inches
wide, blowing the ground at the rate of an

acre every four minutes and fifteen seconds.
1t required twenty-five gallons of fuel
"a low grade of kerosene distillate) every
hour to operate the engines, so that the
actual cost of fuel was estimated as be-
ing Ga cents per acre. The experiment
proved very economical both as to the
cost of fuel and labor.
Mechanical plows may be used to
do work that it would be impossible

to do with the ordinary horse-drawn
pillow. They work successfully in the
toughest kind of soil, or even where the
ground is frozen and covered with snow
The tractors that have taken the place of
horses pull not only plows but smoothing
harrows as WELL making it possible for the
farmer to do in one operation what it
formerly took two or three trips over the
ground to accomplish.

The Only Terra pin Farm in the World
MIR. ALEXANDER Nj. BARBEE,

MIR. ALEXANDER M. BARBEE,
of Isle of Hope, Georgia, enjoys
the distinction of being the pro-
prietor of the only terrapin farm in the
world. He has successfully solved the
heretofore impossible problem of terra
pin propagation, and claims that by his
method he can actually rear more young
terrapins than can the females them
selves. because of the protection he
affords the eggs and young from the
natural predatory enemies of the turtle
family. He sells terrapin regularly to
the hotels and restaurants in all the
anger cities.
Unless experts are mistaken, MIR. Bar
bees unique enterprise will prevent the
threatened extinction of the terrapin
Once considered nuisance along the
Chesapeake Bay, they have disap-
peared so rapidly within the last few
years that to-day the genuine article
of suitable size and sex for the
market. commands price of thirty
six dollars dozen.
Where Terrapin Eggs Are Found
Mr.. BARBEE has disproved the gem
. = orally prevailing belief that the
trouble with breeding terrapins lies in
Matching out the eggs and rearing the
young, The insuperable difficulty, he
says, is to get the eggs. The female ter
rapin buries her eight or ten eggs in the
sand for the sun to hatch, but leaves no
distinguishing mark to show where they
are located. When kept in captivity, the
eggs are laid and hidden in the sand, as
in the natural habitat; but they are
almost invariably eaten by the indiscrim-
mate parents or spoiled by the water
which several times week must be let in
to flood the pens where the terrapins are
confined.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-08-08

of females fighting for places on the sand
pile. Curious to know what they were
after, he drove them away and ran his
hand down into the pile, where he found
a perfect gold mine of eggs. Then the
secret was out, and he wondered why he
hadn't thought of it before-the instinct
of the females to lay their eggs safely
above tide level.
Ever since that day he has been heap
ing up sand-piles, each one about the size
of an inverted waste-basket, and reaping
the harvest.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-08-08
Incubator Babies

ITO hatch the eggs Mr.. Barbee employs
incubators, which are really nothing
but shallow boxes filled with screened sand.
The eggs are packed in layers, with an
inch or so of sand between the layers,
and each egg separated from its neigh
bors. Once week they are sprinkled
with sea water, and in ninety days they
hatch out No artificial heat is required,
since on the Georgia coast the warmth of
the sand is sufficient, even in winter, to
incubate the eggs.
When the young terrapins are Matched
out, they are placed first in larger boxes
of sand with room enough for exercise,
and later in pens, like their parents.
These pens are underlaid with floor of
wood to prevent the creatures from es-
Gaping by burrowing.
Caring for the Infant Terrapins
REARING the baby terrapins is simple
enough. In hot weather they are fed
three times week; but from October to
April not at all Their food consists of
lettuce, celery, cabbages, and other vege-
tables, varied by shrimps and fish cut up
and soaked in sea water, which floods the
pens on feeding days.
Fresh water is also turned in three
times a week, not only for drinking, but
for cleansing the pens. The mortality
among the terrapins is immeasurably
less than in their natural habitat, just as
it is among deer, quail, and any other
game protected in preserves from men
and beasts that prey

a Lucky Accident

THE proper way to secure and preserve
the eggs came to Mr.. Barbee by a
lucky accident. One night he left pile
of sand in one of the pens, instead of rak-
ing it off smooth as had been his custom.
The next morning he discovered a score

LANCER TO APPEAL
FAMOUS WINE CASE

barrels of wine stored in the court

States Attorney VIM. LANCER has TAX
en- an appeal to the supreme court
from the decision of Judge Nuessle.
Attorney J. F. Sullivan in behalf OF
Hebron clients. alleged owners of the
wine confiscated a year ago, brought
suit against Sheriff Mcdonald to re.
cover the wine which is in his custody.
States Attorney LANCER filled de-
murrer to the suit, charging that its
representations did not constitute
cause for action.
This demurrer was argued before
Judge Nuessle and about two weeks
ago and the demurrer was an appeal
to the supreme court slated to be tried
at the December term of court. How
ever, the appeal forestalls that action.
The supreme court is asked to de-
eide on the demurrer dcision as made
bv Judge Nuessle If the demurrer is
sustained the next action must come
from the wine owners, If overruled It
will be tried in the district court.

Holding Their Own.
The Anglo.French forces already In
Serbia are believed to be holding their
own against the repeated attacks of
the Bulgarians who are trying to des-
troy the little army before reinforce
ments can reach It, but as the Ser
bians have been driven back by the
Austro-Germans and Bulgarians and
the latter having received additional
supplies of munitions, they will be
able to assume a stronger offensive
in the south. g&

Bulgarians in Uskup and east of that
town is precariOus, u b E4g 7s.es !.
Little Change on csther Fronts.
On the other fronts there is not
much change despite the favorable
weather.
The Russians by repeated attacks
have gained ground around Riga and
Dvinsk, and have driven the Germans
further back from the Wilma river, and
in the south are repeating their thrust
with the object of preventing the Ger.
mans and Austrians from entrenching.
The Italians likewise continue their
progressive tactics and have added
another mountain in their Trentino
campaign. ~.
