at shadow Lawn, In which he made
pretense o. defending his course re-

acted by Congress. treats the eight
hour day as arbitrable. In fact, 1t
especially enjoins on the board Of
mediation and Cancellation which it

any controversy which may arise be-

The SPINNING Mule.

Samuel Crompton. boy of sixteen,
copied the best features of the spin
ming machine invented by Hargreaves
and Arkwright, added to them some of
his own and, after three months Of
anxious and secret experimenting, pro
duced the first spinning mule, SO called
because it was kind Of hybrid be-
tween Hargreaves' jenny and Ark
wright's water frame. The raw ap-
prentice lad was, however, no match
in, cunning for the cotton lords, who
soon found out the secret e his new
machine and shamelessly robbed him
of the fruits of his ingenuity. Many
years afterward. it is true, they used
their influence to secure for him a par
lament grant of $4,000, but. he was
then q broken hearted and disappoint-
ed man. to whom the money came too
late to be of any real service.

What Becomes Of That Cent?

A farmer comes to town with thirty
apples, which he sells three for a cent,
getting. of course. 10 cents for them.
Another farmer, also with thirty ap-
pies, sells them two for cent, getting
Is cents for his. They get 25 cents
in all
The next time they come In, with
thirty apples apiece, they meet at the
edge of town and put their apples to-
gether, making sixty apples. One man
having sold two for a cent, the other
three for a cent. they decide to sell
them five for cents.
They do so and when they're through
find out they have received but "a
cents.
The problem is, Why did they not
get as much for their apples selling
them five for 2 cents as they did when
they sold them separately, or, what be-
comes of the cent?-Columbus Dis

The too common practice OF burn
ing over old fields at this season pre-
paratory to plowing is strongly to be
reprobated. It is much better prac-
tice to go over such fields with the
disk harrow once or twice to chop up
the dry vegetable matter and mix 1t
with the soil and then plow, rather
than to burn the vegetable matter,
which is the life of the soil.-From

DIscINe LAND BEFORE FLOWING
DESIRABLE.
NICHOLAS sCHMITz.
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

Discing a sod before p1owing makes
the plowing easier and greatly facili-
tates the preparation Of good seed
bed. It is as important to have the
bottom of the seedbed finely pulver-
lied as it is to have the surface well
worked.
The easiest way to do this is to disc
before blowing. 1t may seem that this
is an extra operation, but land that is
well disced before plowing will not
need as much working after plowing
in order to get it in first class condi-
tion, and there is no question of the
bottom of the seedbed being as well
worked as the surface.
1t is also a good plan to disc rye
or rye and clover before plowing un-
der. This aids the complete turning
under and at the same time helps to
mix It with the soil, which is necessary
in order to get the most rapid decom.
position. It also insures against the
difficulty of preventing, the clover from
being turned under in mat, in which
case it simply acts as a blanket in
preventing the upward movement OF
moisture.

HIS LOST PRACTICE.
Trials Of a Congressman In Taking Up
His Old Profession.

In the American Magazine Is an in
terview with member of the United
States house of representatives, who
tells of the almost impossible barriers
between hirl and his old profession,
the law.
after / had been In congress a cou-
pie OF terms decided that | would be
happier and that my family would be
vastly better off if were back holhe

set out to rebuild my neglected law
business.
"I was astounded at what a job it
was. My practice was not merely
run down or temporarily absent. 1t
was gone! Now. L had not yet be-
come a topnotchef in my profession
before going to congress. In order to
make a comfortable income had not
been able to depend alone on the bet
ter grade of legal business, but was
obliged to do some of the more trivial
work, such as. every young lawyer is
glad to get. This class of business had
gone from me in my absence, along
with the rest. And it did not come
back because of reason that had
not thought Of. During my terms in
congress had come to be looked upon
as an important figure in the commu-
nifty, and everybody regarded me as
above such things as performing legal
services of trivial or minor charac-
ter. Thus did not get the small busi-
ness, and the big business was being
taken care of by other lawyers who
had been constantly on the job"

The Wolf. Den.

One of the most grewsome among
animal homes is the VOLTS den. This
is simply hole dug in the side of q
bank or small natural cave, gener
ally situated on the sunny side of a
ridge and almost hidden by bushes
and loose powders. Here the wolf
lies snug. In and about his doorway
lie the remains of past feasts, which.
coupled with his own odor, make the
VOLTS den not very inviting place.
Nevertheless there is something so
dread and mysterious about this soft
footed marauder that it even lends a
fascination to his home. st. Nicholas.

CANADA FIELD PEAS SHOULD BE
soWN EARLY.

Canada field peas are especially
we'll adapted to the climate of Canada
and the northern tier of states where
there is sufficient moisture. In Mary
land they will succeed much better in
the northern and mountainous sections
of the State than elsewhere.
Like the garden pea, they will not
make much growth after hot, muggy
weather sets in, along about harvest
time or little before, and for that
reason should not be considered in
the light of grain crop with a mix
ture of oats as they are in, the north
ern states and Canada.
Where oats is sown in the spring for
Boiling or for hay the feeding value
may be greatly increased by mixing
Canada field peas with the oats. The
quantity OF seed per acre varies from
III bushels of oats and 11a bushels
of peas to bushels of each. 1t is very
important that the crop should be
sown In early spring, for the earlier
the crop is planted the greater will
be the likelihood of the maximum re-
turns, as both oats and peas suffer in
the hot days of late spring and early
summer. Although some growers
recommend that the peas be planted
Ehuch deeper than the oats and a few
days before planting the oats, there is.
however, no good reason for this prac-
tice, as experiments have shown that
even distribution and as large yields
can be secured when the oats and peas
are mixed together with the grain drill
and seeded together.
I Where land has never grown garden
or field peas it is usually advisable to
lnoculate, otherwise the growth will
not be sufficient to pay for the seed
and the extra labor.

ushering in one more base ball season:
a function which it has fulfilled each

the merits of the contents Of the book
