Kissing In Iceland.

Among old time laws against kissing
those of Iceland appear to have been
the most severe. Punishment was the
penalty laid down for kissing another
mans wife, either with or without her
consent. The same punishment was
enforced for kissing an unmarried wo-
man against her will. If it could be
proved that she had consented to be
kissed the offender was still liable to
a fine of a great quantity of cloth for
each offense.

Two items recently appearing in
The Progressive Farmer are of such
Importance as to call for reprinting.
One is the plan given by Mr.. Moss
for putting a legume crop on every
acre every year, as follows:
"a motto that every farmer In the
South should adopt is, "A legume
crop for every acre every year. How
is this possible, you ask, if we are to
continue to grow big crops of corn
and oats and cotton? The answer is
that not only can we continue to
grow our regular staple crops, but
by planting legume on every acre
every year we can grow bigger and
better grain and cotton crops than
ever before, and grow them at bet
ter net profit. Let's see.
an the first place, every cotton
middle in the South, regardless OF
the crop to be planted next year,
should be planted to crimson clover
in the fall to cover and enrich the
land during the winter and be ploW-
ed under in the spring. We know
of no quicker, surer or more econom-
ical way than this to double the yield
of succeeding crops. Second, every
field of corn in the South should at
the same time be growing a crop OF
cowpeas, velvet beans or peanuts
Such a practice means an abundance

of plant food and stock feed. Third,
every oat and wheat crop should be
followed with peas, beans or lespe-
deza. Finally, every foot of our
pasture lands should be occupied
with lespereza or bur clover"
The other item is DR.. Buffers an
swer to the objection that clover can
not be turned under in this section
for good corn crops, where he says:
Recently a lot of farmers were
almost unanimous that in their sec
ton corn could not follow crimson
clover because on their stiff land the
corn must be planted in March. "A
visit to the community showed that
by far the best prospect for corn this
year was from the late planted crop.
Anywhere in the cotton belt, or any
where with the usual rainfall OF the
cotton belt, say 40 to 80 inches an
nually. we are confident that corn
planted in May, after crop of GRIM
son clover, turned under, will, one
year with another, yield more than
corn planted in March without the
crimson clover. In other words, if
crimson clover is first disked, then
plowed under and the land disked
and rolled, we believe it will suffer
less from drouth than will corn plant
ed in March on land on which no
soil-improving or legume cover crop
has been grown.

ing for a recipe for rich land Will

FAY ESCAPES
FEDERAL PRISON
German Bomb Thrower, With Anoth-
err Convict, FORCES Passes and
Leaves Atlanta Prison.

ATLANTA. - Lieutenant Robert
Fay, of the German army, convicted
bomb plotter, and William Knob
loch, under sentence for using the
mails to defraud, escaped from the
federal prison Tuesday afternoon at
3 o'clock.
The men have been employed in
the prison as electricians since their
incarceration some months ago. Yes
terday they forged passes permitting
them to go outside the walls of the
prison on supposed business in con-
nection with their electrical work.
They told the guard they had been
sent outside to make repairs to some
wires that had become defective. At
ter being passed by the guard they
made their escape and have not been
seen or heard of since.
Lieutenant Fay was convicted in
New York for conspiracy in connec-
ton with bomb plots against Amer
lean merchant vessels some time ago
and was placed in the local prison
June %, 1916.
| He is a native of Germany, hav-
ing been in this country for about
six months when he was convicted.
He is 35 years of age, but looks to
be about 80. He is of medium build,
feet 10% inches tall, weighs 415
pounds, has light-brown hair, blue
eyes, fair complexion and when he
escaped was wearing mustache. He
is slightly bald. A reward of 500
lis offered by the government for the
arrest of each escaped man.

Georgia Can Raise
Sheep With a Profit
MILTON p. JARNAGIN, Prof. Animal
Husbandry, Ga. State Col. Of Aari.

MIX ON p. JARNAGlN, Prof. Animal
Husbandry, Ga. State Col. OF Agri.
With lambs selling at II and ~
cents per pound live weight, no live
stock undertaking is likely to prove
more profitable nor turn profits more
quickly than sheep raising. For the
past 30 years there has been a steady
decrease in the number of sheep in
this country. This is likewise true
OF the whole world. Raising and sell
ing spring lambs bring the best re-
turns and no great amount of capital
need be involved in the undertaking.
Native ewes may be purchased and a
purebred sire of one of the standard
mutton breeds mated with them not
later than the middle of September,
which will bring the lambs to drop
before the middle of February.
During the fall and winter the ewes
should have abundance of grazing on
such crops as rye, vetch and crimson
clover, bur clover, rye alone, and if
oats and wheat have attained rank
growth it will do no harm to Craze
them on these crops. If ewes are in
thin flesh it pays to feed them a lit
tie grain during the fall and winter.
After lambs have begun to take all
OF their mothers milk, ewes should
be put on luxuriant pastures. A creep
or pen into which the lambs can go
and the ewes can not, should be pro-
vided, and in the creep put fiat troughs
in which feed equal parts of corn, oats
and bran. By this method it should
be no trouble to make the youngsters
average 20 pounds each by May. The
ewes should average IA lambs each.
On the basis of present market one
could expect to sell them at 10 cents

MEN HAD HORNS IN OTHER

Find Skulls of Prehistoric Giants in

The archaeologists who are trav-
ersing the Susquehanna river valley
in Pennsylvania, visiting sites of In
dian villages and digging up aborig-
ines and other relics, are said to have
made a most astounding discovery
on the Murray farm in finding the
bones of sixty-eight prehistoric men.
The average height of these men
when their skeletons were assembled
was seven feet, while many were
much taller. Additional evidence of
their gigantic size is found in the
massive stone battle axes in their
graves. The average age of these
men is said to have been from 80 to
40.
Another amazing point of this dis
covery is the allegation that "per.
fectly formed skulls were found from
which horns grew straight out from
the head"
