Farm Notes.

To get the best paying results
from clover as a soil builder, it
should remain on the ground two
years, until the root system is
fully developed, then plough
down.
A few weeks ago we gave a
handful of soybeans to each of
three farmers. Reports from all
three show that some of the
beans grew. In two instances
crusts formed before termination
and was not discovered in time
to remove it and consequently
only a few of the tender plants
came up. On the third farm the
crust was carefully watched and
removed and the farmer has a
fine stand Of beans. We think
that this is worth repeating for
the benefit of those whomay care
to plant soybeans next year.
Soybeans are too tender to force
their way through a crust that
would not affect other varieties,
or that would not prevent corn
from coming up.
There is no man in Licking
Creek township more highly re-
spected for his thrift than "Bil-
ly" Bair. Shortly after his mar
riage, he went into debt for
twenty acres of land. He went
further into debt for lime. He
farmed eighteen acres of it well,
he has a splendid home paid for,
and to-day he will tell you that
if he could induce some neigh
Dor to sell him twenty acres
more-just enough to keep him
busy-he would not care who had
observation-disclosures farms. This
is another proof of our contention
that small farms well managed
pay best where labor is the de-
termining factor of success.

Do Not Give Them Money.

Just because our foreign mis-
sionaries sent a few converted
and educated natives of Asiatic
countries to America to 90 out
among our people to tell US at
first hands of the needs of the
Gospel, and of the need of money
to carry on the work, an army Of
lazy loafers from those countries
have invaded America to beg for
themselves. For months t h e
church papers have been warning
US to pay no attention to the lat
ter class. When a genuine rep
resentative of charitable work is
sent among US, he is either ac-
companied by one of our mission
aries, or, he carries credentials
srOm our church courts about
which there is not the shadow of
a doubt. AS an illustration of
the fraudulent class, a strapping
big, ablebodied man passed west
ward over Lincoln Highway last
week, carrying a very greasy
printed recommendation from
some foreigner with an outland-
ish name that no one could pro-
nounce. The paper stated that
the bearer was a Christian" and
that we should give him money
for his orphan children who were
caught in the European war zone.
Many people gave him quarters
and half dollars to get rid of him,
and we have no doubt that he
collects many dollars during a
days walk through the farms of
our hard working people. Friends
you can help our missionary cause
by setting the dogs and the con-
stable after such frauds it hurts
the cause of Christianity for you
to encourage these blasphemous
men. We say blasphemous be-
cause they will offer to preach
from your pulpits, and some of
them can deceive the very Elect.

According to a letter from the
State Food Bureau-too long to
publish in these columns-so
much dirty breakfast food is on
the market that consumers have
complained and the Bureau is
going to make a store-to-store
canvass of the country to remedy
conditions, The complaint is
that breakfast foods are permit
ed to become wormy, full of bugs,
and otherwise unfit for food.
The letter ends with the follow
ing statement:
IF the retailers, aided by ju-
dicious cooperation of manufac-
turers and jobbers to remedy ex-
isting conditions, do not get rid
of this evil it is possible that the
people may feel it necessary to
adopt a remedy proposed in other
states against the sale of stale
stock of perishable goods such as
these cereal preparations, namely,
that of requiring that the pack
age shall bear a stamp indicating
the date of manufacture of the
goods.
"The Commissioner earnestly
hopes that the retailers of the
State will examine their own
stocks and protect their own GUS
toners before the Food Agents
reach their stores, and by so do
ing avoid trouble of a more seri-
GUS character for themselves"

Are Dynamiting Fish.

A member of the State Police
force has been taking evidence in
Franklin county against parties
who used dynamite to kill fish in
one of the streams. 1t is to be
hoped that the criminals will be
brought to justice. A stick of
dynamite exploded in a stream
kills every little fish in the pool.
The man who will kill fifty to
one hundred small trout or bass
for the sake of obtaining two or
three larger ones deserves the
utmost contempt of all fishermen,
and he should be made to know
his place. 1t is not the few good
fish he takes that constitutes the
outrage, but it is the innumerable
small ones killed that is exasper-
ating to law abiding citizens.

The Top OF The Washington Monument.

Few persons who have seen the Wash
ington Monument, even those who have
lived within sight OF il all their lives, have
noticed that the apex Of the monument
is surrounded with parallel bands. Such
is the fact, however; and moreover, the
bands are studded with golden points.
The bands are made of gold-plated iron
a foot wide, and the points are spaced a
foot from one another.
For few momentS'in each sunny day
ofthe first week ofthe new year the golden
fillet that binds the brow of the Washing
ton Monument is visible to human eyes.
Then, the angle OF incidence OF the suns
rays is such that they are reflected down.
ward 10 the windows of the buildings
north and west OF the monument, and the
cool, gray surface is seen TO be marked
with eleven shining lines OF gold.
theoretically, similar effect could be
obtained from some point of observation
at each moment when the suns rays are
intercepted by the sloping top Of the
monument, but only an airship could al
tain the necessary vantage point.
According to the original plan OF the
monument, it was protected from light
ming by an aluminium tip that was con-
nected with the metal framework OF the
elevator During the very first summer
after the monument was completed, how
ever, it was struck twice, and piece OF
stone was Clipped from the top.
Experts from all the scientific depart
ments OF the governments were called on
to contrive plan for the better protection
of the shaft, and they decided that cop
per bands, studded with projecting points,
would accomplish the purpose. Colonel
Casey, who had charge of the work, OBJ
iected on the ground thatthe copperw would
turn green, and that the verdigris would
run" and spoil the appearance Of the
monument {; he also doubted that the cop
per would have the necessary tensile
strength. So the men OF science agreed
on a number of iron bands, heavy gal
vanized and gold plated to prevent rust
ing. The bands are connected with the
aluminium point OF the monument and the
framework OF the elevator, and atthe base
iron cables lead the electricity into deep
we'll, where it harmlessly expends its
force. The protection has proved to be

Shephedown Jefferson County, Virginia. Thursday July 1915
Rich Almost Over Night.

g. H. Buren, an old farmer OF Du Port
City, Va, suddenly found himself last
week with bankroll OF Sl5, 600, an addi-
tional income of more than $500 month,
besides 80 acres of level land in the heart
of town OF II 900 persons.
For 81 years Bureu had eked out liv-
ing on farm of ia acres near City Point,
Va. He was there at the time of the Civil
War, and as boy received stray bullet
from the Federals.
The big Du Pont powder plant located
a quarter of a mile from his farm benefited
him, as two of the Buren boys went to
work in the construction department at S
a day.
The plant units gradually went up and
the army of men at work was increased.
A month ago stranger dropped in at the
Buren farm and asked ifs price. Buren,
said he wanted TO keep his house and a
few acres OF land, but would sell 30 acres.
A bargain was Immediately close al Sll0
an acre.
Two days later another stranger drop
ped in, seeking more land. He tempted
Buren, with an otter of 500 an acre for
81 acres of the tract, and this bargain also
was closed. Today this tract is selling
lot subdivisions at the rate OF from 1900
TO 5000 an acre. Streets, sidewalks
and sewers are being put in and modern
city is springing up.
Around Buren's home other land -own-
ers sold tracts. These were laid out in
city divisions, and within the last week
more than $500, 600 has changed hands in
realty sales. Buren'S 30 acres, with the
farmhouse in the centre, now stands in
the heart of the city building activity.
Last Wednesday he was offered 81 900
an acre spot cash for the 80 acres. The
offer did not move him. The next day
the offer was increased 10 81, 800 an acre,
but Buren cIung 10 his land.
"Why should sell2" said the old man.
"lf the land is good enough for others, II
is good enough for me for while. al
ways wanted to live in city anyhow,
and here am right in the midst of one
without having to move.
al am renting tent space on the farm
and making 500 month out OF that, with
space going every day. My two boys
are working at the plant and am renting
my teams out for SIS day. | am making
more money than ever saw in all my
life, so why should be in hurry 10
make more? Maybe when things get a
little too crowded around me will sell
everything but the house."
Buren has husky family Of five or six
children, one OF whom has farm OF 400
acres a mile and half from the new COM
munity around the old mans farm. The
stir OF activity has reached out to this
tract, and father and son are likely to be
the Astors of the new southern city.

A Well Full OF Fish.

There is a remarkable well in south
western Minnesota concerning which a
correspondent writes 10 us. The well
began 10 overflow not long after il was
dug, for strong spring burst out in the
bottom OF it, after the melting Of the heavy
winter SHOWS. The we'll was surrounded
by tight, iour-foot curbing, between the
narrow cracks OF which stream OF water
trickled steadily away.
One morning in September the well
was found TO be full OF tiny fish. Every
one in the family fastened 10 see the
sight. The fish were crowded so thickly
together that they were actually dying for
lack OF air. They were from one inch TO
four or five inches long. The curbing
was loo tight 10 permit them TO float out.
so board was knocked off and stream
of fish began to swim out With the cur
rent.
So thick were the fish that il was inn
possible even to water the stock. Any
attempt 10 Dip up pail of water only re-
suited in pail OF tiny fish. Apparently
there was no diminution in numbers, al
though they floated away with the over
flow for several weeks.
People from all round the country came
to see this wonderful well. Pickerel,
bass, perch, and other kinds of fish were
identified. No one ever discovered where
they came from. No bass or pickerel are
to be found in any stream nearer than
twenty miles. After much study and dis
cussion Of the problem, the only con-
cIusion that could possibly be accepted
was that the fish must have been drawn
into an underground current from some
river, and carried along for miles until
they found this opening.
The next fall more fish came in about
the same time, although not in nearly so
great numbers. After that the spring be-
came stopped up, and the well was there
after an ordinary instead Of an extraordi-
nary one.

Postmaster General Burleson will try
out the experiment of delivering rural
mail by automobile. By August I'd he
expects TO have l05 machines carrying
mail on $500 miles of post roads. The
first dispatch OF rural mail by automobile
will be made in few days from two routes
radiating from QuarryvilIe, Pa, one IS |
miles and the other 56S miles long. The
auto rural route is created by combina-
ton of two mail wagon routes. The
rural carriers mus: provide the motorcar.
and viii get 81 800 to 81 800 a year, ac-
cording TO conditions of travel. The
wagon carrier gets $500 year. The
Postoffice Departmentbelieyes that within
few years the bulk of the rural mail de-
livery will be by motorcars, which will
greatly lessen the cost of this service.
The idea is to establish routes about 90
miles long. Only those sections which
have good roads will get auto delivery.

Germany At Summit OF Strength.

In point of human material for the fight
ing line reports from Germany now indi-
cate that all available men OF fighting age
are under arms. The male of less than
forty-five years is now bsentfrom places
where he might still have been seen as
late as last December. Estimates from
various fronts indicate the participation
OF between five and six million German
soldiers in the present operations. Such
figure not only means that the maximum
of men are under arms it signifies that
all but very small number are actually
in the field and that very few remain in
reserve TO bring up decimated battalions
to fighting strength. The Russians, in
the meantime, have lost heavily in men,
but it is not OF men that they are likely to
run short. The troops of Francis Joseph
have suffered for their part tremendous
losses that cannot well be replaced. On
ly the French and British have since last
autumn avoided a serious mortality to
their troops. The French assert that they
are keeping over one and one-half million
men in reserve, and they are. in addition,
Withdrawing other men from the fighting
line TO increase their force of munition
workers. They are following policy
OF putting munitions before combatants
in the scale Of immediate urgency, and
they are piling up shells for a future day
as savage accumulates stores for winter.
Whatever happens on the Russian front,
the French, Britains and Italians have be-
fore them the prospect of greatly lncreas-
ing their power in the next few months
by the simple process of heaping up their
ammunition reserves through ihe employ
meut of their superior means OF manufac-
ture while they wear down their German
opponents, man for man. From now on
the Teutonic fighting forces must dimin-
ish, whatever happens, while the Allies
resources will increase and certainly
maintain the present level. II is for the
Allies waiting game, though. as the
events at Souchez prove, not passive
one; for the Teutons il is "now or
never. New York Sun.
