Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
The Office of farm management or
the department Of agriculture has gath
cred data from $4,000 farmers in diff
ferent parts of the United States and
has made many direct observations
as to tho amount OF work that can be
expected in harvesting corn with diff
ferent machinery and by hand. The
number OF acres that can be covered
with different kinds of machines and
different numbers of horses day has
been averaged. and while these aver
ages should not be taken as indicating
the minimum or maximum amount OF
work thtt should be accomplished on
any individual farm. they are OF serv-
ice in enabling the farmer 70 judge
the rate of work, and also to lay out
his work so as to give enough time
for each operation. While on some
farms the average may be exceeded.
in many cases, II will be somewhat
high. but at any rate the average can
be used on the average farm in fig
uring the least amount OF time that
should be allowed. OF course in US
ing such averages due weight has to
be given TO the fact that rainy wealth
er may interfere with the harvesting
campaign, and allowance must be
made for such operations.
The following table shows the av
erage acreages harvested with bin
der for a normal day. using different
numbers OF horses:

Where II Was Appropriate.

Lord Kitchener, it is said, is very
pleased with the result OF the present
temperance move.
we are all temperate now said
his lordship recently.
ITO get drunk is an unheard-of thing
among gentlemen. If a gentleman
ever gets drunk nowadays he has, you
may be sure, a remarkable excuse to
offer" To illustrate his point Lord
Kitchener told this story:
A major, after a fancy dress ball at
Simla, came home drunk and his
shocked wife said to him:
Aren't you ashamed to return from
The ball in that condition.

Continued efforts to raise the two
masted river schooner S. Sawyer from
the bottom of Quantico creek have at
last met with success and the vessel is
now lying at Alexandria to be hauled
out and made ready to return to sery-
ice.
The Sawyer, on her way to this city
last December with a cargo of railroad
ties. was taken into Quantico to avoid
drift ice. The vessel grounded before
she got well into the creek and the ice
caused her to fill and sink. She Law up-
der water throughout the greater part
of the winter and was visited once or
twice by the coast guard cutter Apache
to see if anything could be done to-
ward getting her ahoat, but conditions
were such the cutter could not help
her.
About A month ago the vessel was
purchased by Capt Steve Davis of Al
exandria from Capt. William Knowles
and work of raising her was started
1t looked like a helpless task but per-
