Now is the time to put out Bermuda
sets. Make light burrows across your
sod field, say about two feet apart. Get
a good quantity of Bermuda sod and cut
up into pieces two inches square. Drop
ia the burrows and step on the pieces in
passing. which will press them into the
soil. AS soon as bur clover has ma
tured, get enough seed to scatter at
the rate of two to three bushels per
acre over your sod. If you can harrow
the land, so much the better Bur
clover can be seeded in July i'm Geor-
gia to very good advantage. Many at
tempts to establish this clover fail be-
cause the planting is deferred until late
August or September We think by
the method suggested you will not de-
stroy the Japan clover.
One desiring to establish blue grass
and orchard grass in grove should not
seed oats therein, but should SOW these
grasses about the first of March and
harrow thems lightly into the soil. A
very light smoothing harrow or weeder
or brush harrow can be used for this
purpose. Situated as you are, we would
plant about a bushel of recleaned blue
grass and orchard grass seed and SOW
six pounds of white clover 1t will be
too late to plant these grasses in our
judgment after a crop of oats have been
harvested.

Situated as you are, we would mix the
cotton seed meal and corn cob meal in
the proportion of two-thirds of the for
mer and one-third of the latter. If you
have am abundance of corn and cob meal
on hand and it was bought at the right
price, you may feed these materials in
equal proportions. Having made this
mixture we would then secure a galvan-
lied container of some kind and on the
inside make mark with paint indicat-
ing when it is filled to a certain weight,
say four pounds or more. This grain
ration should be fed each COW at the
rate of 10 to II pounds per day in two
equal portions, night and morning. 1t
is often an advantage to cut UP some
fodder and moisten it slightly and throw
the grain over it and mix it through
il with a fork. The COW thus masti-
Gates her food better when handled in
this manner. We would start feeding
the cow ten pounds of the mixture and
increase 1t gradually as long as she
gives her present quantity of milk. and
then decrease il slightly as the flow of
milk falls off. These figures are based
on the COW weighing about 900 pounds

France HOnOrS Edward VII.

Edward VII., most popular of Eu-
 ropean monarchs among Frenchmen
 during his lifetime, has been exalted
 to the stature of a great hero since his death, and Paris now has almost
 as many monuments of the late Brit ish King as it has of Napoleon, Vol tairo end other French idols Today is the 75th anniversary of Edwards
 birth, and it will be commemorated
 throughout the republic. F,renchmen attribute to Edward VII. much of the
 credi' for the Anglo-French entente which has made Great Britain the ally of Ia repubique' in the greatest of
 world wars. Always fond of France, Edward was a frequent visitor to the City of Light during his long. career as Prince of Wales. As soon as he ascended the throne he began to strive to realize the greatest of his dreams the complete reapprochement of France and England. In 1903 he paid an off, cial visit to Paris, taking the initia- tive in a movement destined to effect the final reconciliation of the ancient enemies. President fLoubet returned the visit, and the way was thus paved for the statesmen of the two countries to enter into a treaty based on mu-
 tual concessions While the cult of Edward VII. has spread all over France, 1t is most pronounced in Paris and in the Riviera. The Place Ed ward VII. in Paris, which contains a
 monument showing the late King in
 military uniform mounted on his fa- vorite horse, will be the center of to- days observance of his anniversary.
 In addition to the Place Edward VII.
 Paris now has Rue Edward VII.
 and hotels theatres and restaurants named after the beloved monarch. At Canes there is a sailor statue of Ed
 ward VII, and numerous less noted
 monuments to the late King through
 out the Riviera.

IN FATHERS TIME.
(Bv Walt Mason.)

! When I was young the old farm wagon was all the chariot we had; the sides were bent, the seat was saggin', the wheels were always feeling bad.
 On Saturday we'd hear Dad saying, 'I guess we'll have to go to town, and sell the eggs the hens are laying, and get your Ma gingham gown. We'll have to travel mighty slowly to save the horses for the field" / We climbed aboard the craft unholy, and all it's bolts and fixtures squaled.
 And then along the road we jolted- twas seven weary miles to town, and my sad soul in vain revolted, at how Dad held the horses down. We mustn't let them scratch the gravel" he'd say. when was showing pique; f"It hurts them more to town to travel, than blowing hurts them in a week"
 And so the snails went whizzing by us-the way they passed us was a shame; and what Dad said was scarcely pious, when Jim. the sorrel horse, went lame. 1t took all day to go the distance; when we got home, with sigh and groan, went to bed, with Dads assistance- was too sore to go alone. '.
 How times have changed! now am boosting the farm my father used to run; and now and then you see me tossing into the bank roll of mon. And when find it necessary, to go to town to sell some chicks, the trip is brief and glad and merry; l travel in my car. My times too precious to be wasted; I rush. and get my bus mess through; when speed the mod ern man has tasted, he knows the old way will not do.
 And when 1t comes to recreation, take the wife and all the folks, in- dulging in vacation, forgetting la bor and it's yokes.
 And thus the motor car makes farming used to be a weary grind-an occupation glad and charnning-the old slow methods left behind.

NAPOLEON IMPRESSED BY
 THE USELESSNESS OF WAR.

Herbert Vivian has been examining the books in Napoleon's library at Elba and has picked out some pass ages which Napoleon had marked. The book which seems to have attracted Napoleon most was the Essal general de Tactique by Guibert Napoleon marked one passage in which Guibert said that ministers in modern states worked without unity in independent departments. Other portions he marked as follows:
 What can be the issue of our wars today? =. Victor and vanquished become about equally exhausted. The total of the public debt increases. Credit falls. Money is scarce. The navies find no more sailors; the arm les no more soldiers. Ministers on both sides feel that it is time to ne- gotiate. Peace is made. A few colonies or provinces change masters Often the source of dispute, is not closed and each of the belligerents re- main seated among his ruins, busy paying his debts and sharpening his sword"

A TRYING EXPERIENCE.

Frank Reynolds and John Cleary, East Side residents went out for a drive yesterday morning and came near meeting with a serious mishap. While driving down Josselyn's Hill at Old Mill Green, their horses took fright and the wagon was overturned. The men held to the reins and were dragged along for a considerable dis tance. Finally the wagon was caught in the roots of tree and the two men unloosened their grip. Reynolds tainted and was carried to a nearby house where he was cared for. Cleary while pretty well used up set to work to fstraighten out things and in, a short time had the horse under com plete subjection.

LINER
 HITS UNKNOWN VESSEL IN FOG

New York, Nov. 9-A collision at sea with a vessel unidentified, was reported by the French Line steamer Espange, which arrived here today from Bordeaux after rough voyage. Two days off the French coast, at Il D. m., on October 31, the Espagne sighted a steamship dead ahead with no lights showing. Owing to the stormy weather the two ships were unable to escape coming together, the Espagne's bow crashing into the side of the strange steamer, which suffer- ed an 18-inch gash. The vessels swung about until their sides scraped. The Espagne stood by and offered as- sistance which was refused and the ships parted company.
 The Espagne was only slightly dam aged.

The Man Who Batted 1000.

Del Gainor's major league baseball career may be over, but, if so, he closed it in blaze of glory and riot Of fame The once renowned West Virginian will pass his th1rtteth mile stone tomorrow, as he was born in Nov. 10, 1886, in Elkins, W. Va. For a time ihe was ranged as a star among first ;basemen, but his days of glory were soon over, and last year and this he was used semi occasionally by the Red Sox boss.
 Gainor is the only man participat- ing in the last worlds series who bat ted 1000. Of course, the luster of this performance is somewhat dinmed by the fact that he went to bat only once, but that once was enough to win a game for the Carriganites.
 It was in the fourteenth inning of the second Boston-Brooklyn pastime, the longest and one of the most ex- citing pastimes in worlds series his tory that Del achieved a niche in the hall of fame. Hoblitzer was the first man up for the Red Sox, and Sherrod Smith, Brooklyns southpaw twirler gave him pass. Lewis then sacri- flced Hobby to second McNally was seth in to run for Hoblitzel and Carri- gan ordered Del Gainor to bat for Gardner. Del realized his opportunity for he smashed the third ball pitched for double to left, sending McNally home with the winning run.
 Gainor began playing professional ball with Grafton, w. Va, in 1909 Next year he was with Fort Wayne, where he played so we'll that he was bought by Detroit. He jumped into fame with the Tigers in the early part of the 1911 season. but Jack Coombs put him out of business for the re- mainder Of the year by smashing his wrist with a pitched ball.

CuredHis RUPTURE

l was badly ruptured while lifting trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an op- eration. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me- Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 40 c, Marcellus Avenue, Manasquan, N. J.

STONES FALL IN STORM.

Westchester, Penn.-In the storm of Tuesday afternoon there fell in the yard of Col. Mcclellan in this place intermixed with hail, considerable number of stones from the size of a walnut to that of bullet.
 These stones were collected by Col. Mcclellan and his lady who attest to the fact. Some of them are what mineralogists call spars, and others white quartz or flint It is added that field spar is a stranger, there being none of this quality of stones within several miles of Westchester. This is to be added to the Memorabilia of the times.
