Diogenes might have to look long
time in Montpelier; but those who lose
valuable possessions there are singularly
fortunate in the recovery of their prop
erty. The other evening a Montpelier
woman lost the diamond out of d ring on
starting to return home after spending
the evening at a friends house. The
neighborhood was secured for lamps, Lam
terms and searchlights, and by the aid of
these artificial dispelers of gloom the
wee speck of much wealth was located
and restored to the owner The next
evening a man, after making change for
another on the street, lost "r0Il" of
three greenbacks. Again the lamp Ian
tern and searchlight brigade was brought
into service, and the three shy green
backs were detected in the act OF crawl
ing down gutter and out of the vision
of a prying world. The latest report
tells Of person who was searching for
a lost reputation in Montpelier, but as
this loss was rather outside the radiance
of lamps, lanterns and searchlights, the !
person was having a rather hard time Of |
it. Still the person had hopes.

CUTTING Up Old Furs.

There is knack of cutting up old
furs with which all women are not
familiar. The pelt should be turned
wrong side up and the skin slowly and
carefully cut with sharp penknife,
the blade penetrating the skin only
and not touching the long hairs. Cut,
ting fur with scissors destroys tina
beauty of the hair and wastes much of
the pelt that might be saved by the
nenlxnife process

only fair fertility. used fertilizer at the
rate of 500 pounds per crop and plant
ed cabbage and Irish potatoes. About
5000 cabbage plants were set out and
the balance of the acre planted to po-
tatoes. The cabbage crop was sold
retail and wholesale and brought in
gross receipts of sac. The potatoes
were sold at 81 per hushel and brought
in SIS.
After the cabbage and potatoes were
removed, the acre was planted to corn.
During the roasting-sar season, $50
worth of ears were sold and the re-
mainder left to mature, yielding 40
bushels of corn, and ton and half

CONDUCTS CORN EXPERIMENTS
Virginia Farmer Increases Yield over
10 Per Cent. In One Season.

Conducting experiments to deter
mine the value OF different applioa'
lions Of fertilizer on corn, II. T. Hob
berton, of "Rocklands Farm" in Or
ange County, Va, increased the yield
over 10 per cent and increased the
net profits per acre $3.50. through tho
use of 900 pounds of high grade fertil
izer per acre. lie had been using 500
pounds per acre and had been getting
20 bushels per acre. With the heavier
application, he made 92 and one-hali
bushels per acre from a two-acre plot
In every other detail his methods were
the same as with the smaller applica
ton Of fertilizer.
Figuring % and one-half bushels OF
corn per acre increase, at 20 cents pei
bushel, the gross gain per acre was
S15.T5. The cost of the fertilizer
amounted to S5.72 per acre and the
cost of application amounted to $3.50
per acre. Mr.. Holberton explains that
the corn came UP unevenly and that
|transplapting did not help the field
much. The season was unusually dry,
and Mr.. Holberton claims that under
normal conditions his yield would have
been over 100 bushels per acre.

SOIL FERTILITY THE BASIS
North Carolina Yields Greater Than
Virgin Land of Texas.

Is virgin land more profitable than
soil that has been intensively cult
waited for over a century? A COMPARE
son of yields in Texas and North Caro-
lima shows that when attention is Civ.
en- to the maintaining of soil fertility
the question of decreasing yields does
not trouble. The older land is in
creased rather than decreased In its
productivity. Texas averages b1o,s
pounds of cotton per acre and North
Carolina averages S14a pounds per
acre. although North Carolina has
been intensively cultivated fer over a
century.
Farmers of Maryland, Delaware and
Virginia who have been maintaining
fertility through manures and fertil-
izers are getting greater yields at low
er cost per unit than farmers Of the
Middle West, who have been Using

AN ALL-AROUND MINISTER.
Millersyille Boasts Of Capable clergy
man Jack of All Trades

For versatility, the bright star in
the armament behind the footlights is
outclassed by the pastor of Baldwin
Memorial Church Cross Roads near
Millersville' this county. Few men at
tain such high degree of versatility
as the Rev. c. ID. Taylor, and lucky
indeed. is Millersville in having such q
capable clergyman.
When the visitor arrived for the
ceremonies of Ann Arundel Chapter
ID. A. r., for the unwilling of the bould-
er to mark the historic Cross Roads
traversed by General Washington when
he came to Annapolis to resign his
commission as COMMUNICATIVE chief OF
the Army'visitors were met at Arundel
Station by the smiling visage of the
Rev. c. ID. Taylor, whose pleasing per-
sonality and Chesterfieldian manners
at once impress the visitors. To their
great surprise this Reverend gen
tleman points to his automobile, as
sists them TO its comfortable seats and
quicker than a wink( he is off, for the
clergyman is the chauffeur.
In this capacity he is the man most
in demand around Arundel, and con
veys TO and from the trains ali who are
attending exercises at Arundel Acad-
envy, or at Cross Roads Hall The
minister never permits his guests to
miss the car and if they linger he re-
minds them it is time to be going. al
though the reminder is couched in the
NJ
ner possible.
Besides being chauffeur for the
Arundel community the Rev. c. ID.
Taylor is Scout Master and he fills a
number of other important positions.
From chauffeur to Master of the Boy
Scouts at Millersville is a quick
change. made with that dexterity that
characterizes the man who fills the i'm
portant role at Millersville of Jack OF
all Trades But it must be sad he is
at the same time, master of each and
every one of them.
Last, but by no means least, he is the
minister of Baldwin Memorial Church,
beautiful edilice, picturesque in its
ting, and whose congregation is com
posed OF the best people OF the county
intellectual prominent in the State OF
Maryland and many of whom are
blessed with a large share of this
