Pensions for City's Guardians.
Editor of The Washington Herald:
1 have recently learned that widows
and children of our brave firemen are
pensioned from a fund collected from
fines assessed against persons who
break the laws of our city and that
at times such fines are totally in
adequate for this purpose 1t is a dis
grace to our beautiful city that such
is the case. These brave men who re-
spond to fire alarms, perhaps never
again to see their loved ones again,
should not be treated in such a man
ner. 1t does not occur to some people
that these men respond time after
time to alarms on bitter cold nights,
never thinking of themselves, but
working with all their strength to
save the lives and property of others.
When they rescue persons from the
flames they are greeted with cheers,
and when they are injured in the
line of duty they are the objects of
great sympathy, but cheers and SYM
pathy will not pay house rent and
grocery bills and will not buy clothes.
Surely something can be done for
these men. If Congress refuses to
pension their widows and children
why not have a fund collected by an.,
controlled by prominent business men
and others interested. If everybody
would give a little it would not be

WHY COURTESY PAYS.

In the August American Magazine
a writer says:
"I soon learned that the average
woman, with the burden of housekeep-
ing on her shoulders, is the must irri-
table and irresponsible creature alive.
A delivery ten minutes late can bring
on your head a mighty wrath, a wilted
lettuce a lose you your best custom
er. l had to stand between these wo-
men and overworked delivery boys,
careless shipping clerks, and some
times inferior goods. One instance:
A woman was to give a dinner party.
Her groceries arrived almost at the
last minute with the fish order filled
~correctly. My dinner is spoiled
she cried distractedly over the phone.
I v will spend another cent with
you as long as I live Woman is built
for fortitude, not responsibility. I
~shoudered the responsibility and per-
suaded her to bear with me until I
could rectify the mistake. It took
much soothing; a hint of irritation on
my part would have spoiled everything.
AS it was. fifteen minutes later a mes
senger boy was delivering the fish at
her door; we had kept our customer
and made a lasting friend"

KEEP THE HOUSE COOL.

Some people make the mistake of
keeping doors and windows open all
day in hot weather. Of course the in
door air is precisely as hot as the out
door air in that case AT night the air
cools' and in the morning the house
will feel quite comfortable. If the
doors and windows + all shut at z
O'Clock the shades drawn down very
closely and kept drawn all day the
rooms SO closed will be fairly cool.
There is no reason either, why the
kitchen heat should go all over the
house, as it will unless the door lead
ing from the kitchen is kept closed.
This may seem to be a good deal of
trouble but when the dishes are wash
ed and the tired worker can slip into
a cool, dark room and lie down for an
hours rest the effort to Ike 20 ones
place cool will seem worth while.
If there is an attic in the house the
windows should be kept open constant
ly. By taking off the side stops and
tipping the windows in from the top,
holding them by a light strip nailed
from the top Of the sash to the cas-
ing SO that they never change position
the hardest storm will not beat in and
the upper rooms will be saved a great
deal of heat. Sometimes a north win
dow is so shaded that it can be left
open, thus giving a slight change of
air. When we remember that heat,
Just merely heat. may produce sick
ness and even death by it's exhausting
effect, especially upon a baby or elder
~. person, these little precautions will
never seem too much trouble.

How to Keep Our Babies

Summer is a poor time to expert

though. We may be sure he is not get

In feeding cows milk during the
summer months, the following sugges-
tons may be beneficial. Get the fresh

can rely upon it's freshness, which is
difficult, boil it 10 minutes and keep

mer it is a danger signal showing that
the food is too strong and demands
further modification. Do not over-feed
babies. There is much more danger in
overlooking than in undertaking. A
safe rule for the proper quantity to be
fed a baby is to give one ounce more
than it's months of age. For instances
at birth feed one ounce; at one month
two ounces; four months, five ounces;
and so on up until eight ounces or
possibly ten. Never feed more than
ten ounces at any age. No rule will
fit every case. and strong babies may
require one-half ounce more than the
calculated quantity, Or frail babies one
half ounce less. Do not dilate the
stomach by using an excessive quaint
ty. Intestinal irritation produces the
same symptoms as hunger, and if
seeming unsatisfied after the proper
quantitl has been given there may be
other explanations than hunger.-"Ba-

S~EASONABLE FARM NOTES.


Again this season demonstration
agents r urging upon farmers the
Importance of growing something on
the land in winter as we'll as in the
summer. Such crops serve the double
purpose Of reducing winter washing
and teaching and the production of
food and feed crops.
1t has been found that lands which
lie bare in the winter often lose more
plant food by teaching and washing
than is used up by the crop that grows
On the land in the summer. Winter
growing crops may also be used large
ly for grazing purposes. They come
at a time when forage is usually
scarce.
There are a number of CROPS suit
able for winter growing in this State.
probably the most universal winter
cover crop is rye. This has the adj
vantage I'VE some other crops, in that
1t IS easy to grow, does not winter-kill,
and produces a large amount Of veg
table growth to turn under for soil
Improvement. It has one d~isadvant-
age, in that it is not a legume. But
for poor soils. where clover will hard
ly succeed for late planting and a safe
crop, it is very commendable.
The best variety of rye to plant is
Abruzzi rye. This grows more rapid
iy during the first part of the season
than ordinary varieties. 1t grows up
right instead of spreading fiat on the
ground, and for that reason is much
more suitable for grazing. It's total
growth, too, is larger than that of or
binary rye. All farmers who can pro-
cure the Abruzzi variety should plant
it in preference to others.
Among the clovers that are suitable
for growing in this State may be men
toned Bur. Crimson and White Bloom
ing Glover for the eastern part of the
State. Red Glover is better adapted
to the western half of the State.
There r several grasses admira-
bly, adapted as winter cover crops for
grazing and for cutting for forage. It
is usually better to plant a mixture of
several than to rely on one alone. The
following formula has given excellent
results, yielding two Or three cuttings
of good hay per season and occupying
the land from three to four years with
out r~eseeding. 1t also furnishes splen-
did grazing:
Tall Meadow Dat Grass one-half
bushel; Orchard 1rass, one-half bush
81; Italian Rye Grass. one-half bushel;
Timothy. eight pounds. With this
should be mixed ten pounds Of Red
Glover for the western half Of the
State and five pounds of Crimson Clo-
yer for the eastern half of the State.
On moist lands Alsike Glover may be
substituted for Crimson.
The above amount when mixed and
planted on an acre, gives a very heavy
seeding, but it has been found advis-
able to seed that way with these
grasses.
Hairy Vetch makes a good winter
cover crop and soil improver; but if
intended for moving, it should be
planted with oats Or some other up
right plant for it to climb on, Both
Bur Glover and Hairy Vetch will re-

the land if managed properly.
Two other important crops should
not be neglected for the next few
weeks. They are rape and rutabaga
and other varieties of turnips. Rape
furnishes splendid grazing for live
stock and produces better salad than
turnips. 1t should be soWn at the rate
Of ten pounds of seed per acre when
b~roadcasted. Both rape and turnips
should be planted on rich land or
well fertilized.
Most of the failures in planting win
ter cover crops are due mainly to two
causes, namely: poorly prepared soil
and late planting. Farmers who ex-
pect'to grow any of these crops should
prepare the land well right away, buy
their seed if they did not grow them
last season, and be ready t o plant
when the proper time arrives. County
demonstration agents are urged to be
prepared to help farmers in the mat
ter of buying seed. preparation of land.
