HELPING A TOWN.

From the SeafOrd Tribune.
Crisfeld is getting a generous share
of the new enterprises which come to
the Eastern Shore. Just recently the
manufacture Of Faultless nightshirts
and pajamas has been begun in that

there is to be cigar factory started

1T may be that the almost unani-

NEW USES FOR MOTOR CARS
Farmers Automobile Can Now Be
Made to Solve Many of His
Transportation Problems.

Because of various attachments now
on the market the farmers automo-
bile can not only be used as a solution
of some of the rural transportation
| problems, but also as a useful and
convenient power plant, points out
F. A. Writ, instructor in farm me-
chanics in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural College.
1.-THE purchase of trailer makes
possible the transporting Of milk,
cream, garden truck, and even chick
ems to market" says Mr.. Writ. 1.-THE
trailers, which are of various designs,
are manufactured by more than a
dozen companies. .fhe engine of the
average automobile is seldom worked
to capacity and consequently there is
plenty of tractive power to take care
of the light trailer"
Attachments are now being manu-
featured, at low price, which will
transform several of the more popu-
lar makes of cars into power plants.
A series Of gears and shafting has
been devised which operates pulley
on the front of the car, and makes 1t
possible to turn farm machinery.
One of the smaller cars most popu-
lar on the market will develop about
12-horse power on the brake, and is
consequently more than strong enough
for the average work required Of
farm engine. Most farmers use a
gas engine Of five or six-horse power.
1t is not economical to use IL
horse power engine for furnishing
power to washing machine or
pump. 1t is best to have system Of
shafting which can be arranged to
drive several pieces of machinery
simultaneously. Corn shelters, feed
grinders, tanning mills, and other
small pieces Of farm machinery can
be connected with the system of shaft
ing.

(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
A definite plan for building up the
sandy-land farm of northern Indiana,
southern Michigan or northwestern
Ohio is outlined in farmers bulletin
No. 716 just issued by the department.
The department specialists have found
a way by which the sandy-land farms
OF that section can be built up, ut the
same time returning a profit. The
remedy proposed for existing difficult
ties may be summarized very briefly:
"GrOw soy beans or cOwpeas-first
for seed and later to feed live stock"
The production of one or the other
OF these legumes for seed Is offered as
the first stage in a development that
ultimately leads to profitable general
farming. The sale of seeds from one
of these crops serves to finance the
farm development while the founda-
ton of soil improvement is laid by the
legume crop itself.
"Soy beans and cowpeas," says the
bulletin" are profitable cash crops on
the poorest of these sandy lands, the
yields ranging from 5 to 20 bushels
per acre, and the present range Of
prices being from $150 to So per
bushel. Aside from being source of
immediate income, the crops furnish
the most practical foundation for
building up the SOIL"
Briefly, this is the system of farm
ing proposed:
First stage-Continuou cropping
with soy beans or cowpeas. One of
these crops is grown for seed ON the
available farm area not needed for
growing necessary hay and corn. A
catch crop of rye is used between
crops Of soy beans or cowpeas and
plowed under in the spring before the
new crop is planted. This program
may sometimes be modified with profit

The air is exhilarating as cham
payne; though the heat in summer
time is very great during the nOontide
hours, at shutdown a, refreshingly cool
breeze invariably springs up and
heavy dew begins to fall. 1t is a most
delightful experience to roam then
through the beautiful forest, listen
ing to the tinkle of the bells as the
herds of sheep, cattle, pigs, buffalOes
wander down the magnificent aisles,
to the flute Of the shepherd and the
horn of the guardian of the swine.
Equally pleasing it is, during the heat
of the day, to spend long hours Of
dolce far niente on springy bed Of
wild thyme by the side of a brawlinE
streamlet-I may add that for the in
veterate angler it Is an even more en-
joyable experience to extract from its
dark pools and alluring stickles many
a lusty trout. For almost all of these
forest "burns" abound in fish-not
very large, 1t is true, but vigorous
fighters, giving excellent sport.
Big Landowners the Rule.
There are very few tenant farmers
in the country; immensely big land
owners are the rule, and these, with
the aid of a host of bailiffs, manage
their own estates. They devote each
farm to some special object; one, for
instance, is the OK farm, another tho
sheep farm, a third is set aside for
horses, fourth for donkeys, another
for poultry, another for pigs, and yet
another is the dairy farm.
1t is, by the way, rather a curious
fact that cows milk is despised by all,
rich man and peasant alike. 1t is
looked upon as only fit for pigs and
calves, or to be mixed with other milk
in the making of cheese. Only buffalo
milk Is considered fit for human con-
sumption; this is, however to an Eng
fish palate, far too rich, both in quail
ity and flavor.
Outside almost every village In
Pennsylvania is the gypsy quarter.
Outside 1t, not in it, for the despised.
Tzigany is never allowed to dwell
among the villagers or to mix with
them on equal terms. He is the basket
maker, occasionally the brickmaker,
of the neighborhOod-but always and
everywhere he is the music-maker. The
gypsies are the orchestra of every
town and village, at every fiesta they
play untiringly, hour after hour, while
the peasants dance. Men and women
alike are lowered with the gift of mu
sic, and the wild Czardas crashed out
by Tzigany band makes even the
cool blood of NOrtherner Jingle in his
veins.
But fiddling is not the gypsy's only
accomplishment; he is also most ex-
pert thief. In fact, legend of the
country says that when a Tzigany
baby makes it's entrance into this vale
of tears it Is laid on it's back upon the
ground, while a purse is placed on fits
right side and fiddle on it's left. Ac-
cording to the direction in which 1t
first extends a tiny fist its profession
in life is determined!

KANSAS WOMEN WELL PAID
Few Clerks Get Less Than Six Dollars
Week, Welfare Commission
Figures Show.

Few Kansas merchants pay their
women workers less than Sc week,
except for novices. Some Kansas
women draw as high as $50 week
as clerks or department managers in
the stores of the state. The lowest
wage paid is SO week and then only
to young girls who are just entering
the work And the merchants of the
state are willing to give the women
9-hour day If every merchant is COM
PEELED to do so.
This is a summary of the results of
the investigation into the wages paid
the women workers in the stores of
the state, conducted by Miss Lima
Bresette, secretary of the industrial
welfare commission. Miss Bresette
sent every merchant in the state set
of questions, asking how many women
workers each employed, the number
who received less than Sc week,
what the minimum and maximum
wages of the store was and the mum.
Der of hours each woman was required
to work each day and each week.
The replies of the merchants have
been coming in by the hundred and
are now being compiled. When the
work is completed the commission will
meet and from the data furnished by
minimum wages and maximum hours
of labor for the women employed In
the stores of the state. Another in.
vestigation is under way for the manu-
featuring industries.
Not more than a dozen Kansas mer-
chants do not favor a 9-hour day for
women workers, provided all the mer-
chants are required to obey the same
closing hours. Nearly all said that If
their competitors would observe the
9-hour day it would be satisfactory.
Only one merchant reported that he
required his women employees to work
on Sunday and then. only during har-
vest.
