SHARKS TO SERVE MANKIND
Veteran Fisherman Believes That,
Properly Handled, the Meat Of
the Fish Is Edible.

Russell ]. Coles of Danville, Va,
who taught Colonel Roosevelt how to
harpoon devilfish, announced that he
has discovered method of preventing
worldwide starvation by tests he has
carried out with regard to certain Spe-
cies of the dark shark and ray family.
Mr.. Coles has just come back from
Morehead City, N. c., where he caught
number of fish, and despite the pop
ular belief that the eating Of them
would bring death in terrible form,
he decided to take the risk and he
sampled several Of them. He has sent
complete record of his findings to
Herbert Hoover in the hope that the
food administrator will incline an ear
and start the fashion of shark eating.
Mr.. Coles believes that the sides Of
the larger fish may be tanned and con-
verted into marketable leather.
After trying several methods the
Danville man gives the following re-
cipe for cooking shark steak:
Salt heavily for 80 minutes, soak out
in three waters, parboil few minutes,
change water, parboil again, cook
heavily seasoned and serve hot. The
amount of seasoning must be used ac-
cording to the odor Of the meat.

Here Is a Record!

Talk about records Here's one that
apparently has every recorded record
beaten to a FRAGILE.
Think Of it-ocean to ocean in half

We might possibly have believed 1t if
our national defense board had an
nounced the invention Of some new
and wonderful 00-mile-a-minute air
plane-but on a bicycle-never.
But it's a fact. On August 2 Ed
ward G. Arminger and two other young
men covered the distance in twelve
hours on bicycles-and what's more,
they did it partly on railroad ties and
loose gravel roads-and, of course, it's
the first time it's ever been done.
WE'LL come on! What's the answer
If you must know, here it is. They

.INOCULATION IS BEST
Many Failures With Alfalfa At
tributed to Its Neglect.
Best Growth Of Plant Is Possible Only
When Bacteria Are on Roots-Mis-
souri, Expert Describes :
Two Methods.

A large number of failures with al
Of proper incubation. Alfalfa has not
been generally grown in many sections
Tong enough for the bacteria needed
for it's roots to become widely distrib-
uted. In such places these must be
applied when the alfalfa is needed.
If the crop is not inoculated it may
start well with good stand of plants
and grow vigorously for some time !;
but after a season or longer the plants
weaken, become irregular, often yell
low In small areas and eventually die
or remain too poor to produce hay.
Such are typical symptoms when in
oculation is lacking. If the crop is
properly treated it makes more Wig
orous growth the older it GETS and has
a distinctly healthy, green appearance.
This Is the result of the bacteria
which live on its roots and supply the
nitrogen necessary for the dark green
color and heavy growth. Such growth
takes place, not at the expense of the
nitrogen in the soil, but as a result of
the nitrogen in the air, which cannot
be used by plants without bacteria.
The best growth of alfalfa Is possible
when the bacteria are on the roots !;
and since they are not usually present
in the soil, the seed must be treated
with them at the time of seeding.
incubation of alfalfa has pro-
nounced effects. 1t increases and some
times doubles the yield Of hay, by Civ
ing larger plants with more leaves. 1t
makes the hay richer in protein by
feeding the plant nitrogen, the essen
tial constituent of protein, which gives
the hay a greater feeding value. In
addition to this it supplies the plant
with nitrogen from the air, and thus
leaves the soil richer after the crop
than it was before.
w. A. Albrecht of the University Of
Missouri college of agriculture men
lions ways of inoculating alfalfa. In
the first place, soil where alfalfa or
| sweet clover is growing with plenty of
| nodules on the roots may be collected
and broadcast on the field at the rate
Of hundred or more pounds per acre
at seeding time. In the second place,
seed may be inoculated by means of
soil, or by artificial cultures which can
be secured from many commercial
firms or from the University of Mis-
souri, college of agriculture. This
| method is preferred by many since it
is less laborious and the process is
simple. The effort required to inocu-
late by either method is so small and
its value in assuring success with al
falfa so great, that it is an advisable
practice whenever this crop is seeded
on soil where it has not been grown
| previously.

SPRAY FOR CABBAGE WORMS.
Insect Is Very Destructive to Many
Vegetable Plants-Pump Is Sure
and Simple Way.

The common green cabbage worm is
very destructive to cabbages, cauli.
flower and allied plants, often destroy
ing or seriously injuring the crop. It
is very easily controlled, however, and
there Is no excuse for sustaining a
heavy loss.
In small gardens hand picking may
be practiced. But in field culture some
cheaper control measures must be
used. The surest and Simplest Is to
use the spray pump. A solution Of
two pounds Of powdered arsenate Of
lead or four pounds Of arsenate OF
lead in paste form, or one pound of
paris green to 80 gallons Of water
should be applied as soon as the
plants are set out, and should be
repeated as often as an examination of
the plants show 1t Is necessary. Where
sprays are employed they should be
applied in a fine mist, since coarser APP
plications tend to gather In drops on
the leaves and run off. 1900. SD y

GARDEN WORKING NOTES
BY E. VAN RENTHUYsEN.

Propagate rubber plants this month.
Pack handful or two of moss arG'lnd
the stem and keep it well soaked. In
short time roots will appear. Saw
flower pot in half and bind the
plants or roofing portion of the stem.
Fill with a very light soil with plenty
of sand and keep thoroughly watered.
During the winter the roots will take
good hold and in the spring the stem
may be cut off level with the bottom
of the pot.
The outdoor carnations may be
ported up this month.
Cuttings from geraniums may be
made early in September in most eli
mates.
Watch the tender greenhouse plants
that are in the open and take them up
before the last days of summer are
passed.
Have the pots ready for the bulbs
which must be taken up soon.
Sow mignonettes seeds in pots or
boxes for the window garden. Water
frequently but not too much.
The dahlias, gladloli and other rank
growing plants are apt to be blown
down by the strong winds of fall.
Stake them up.
Unless the chrysanthemum have
been shaded during the hot months
they will not come up to expectations
this fall.
Drench the ground around the tea
roses but do not spray the bush.
Roses of all kinds should be thor
oughly MANFRED with we'll rotted cow
manure and mulched with lawn cut
tings and leaves.
Liquid manure should be applied on
ly when the ground is moist enough
to absorb it.
1t is fatal to some plants to fer
tilize them with rich manures when
the ground is dry.
Never allow roses to remain on the
bush until the petals begin to fall.
All plants that are intended for win
ter boomers should have the buds
pinched off now.
Pick the pansies and nasturtiums
every day if you want to have plenty
of bloom. ".,-s,>.
The best way to kill weeds now Is
to pull them up by hand.
The red bug and other enemies of
the rose if not killed off last month
should be effectually removed now.

PLAN FOR HEALTHY POTATOES
Regulation Against All .Tubers Not
Treated With Formaldehyde Not
Always Feasible.

One form Of regulation suggested
to keep potatoes free from disease
provides for a state or local quaran-
tine against all potatoes not treated
with formaldehyde at the point Of
origin. This is hardly feasible in COM
mercial practice for variety of rea-
sons and because black-leg, wilt, and
other troubles are not reached by the
treatment, while reinfection by the
scab might occur in the cars, ships, or
warehouses during shipment.
The evidence shows that healthy
potatoes can best be secured by grow
ing healthy potatoes, and not by in.
specting, fumigating, or quarantining

THE PEONY AND ITS CULTURE.
BY e. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Among all our herbaceous plants,
there is probably not one that stands
higher in popular favor than the
peony. And it richly deserves it's pop
ularity, because of it's great hardness,
it's ease of culture it's magnificent
range of rich and delicate colOrs, it's
wonderful profusion of bloom and it's
tenacity of life.
The writer knows many specimens
of the old variety, cultivated by our
grandmothers, extensively, that have
been growing in the same place in the
old gardens for more than century,
and, without exception, those that
received good care are as vigorous and
healthy today as any young plants,
and year after year they give a glo-
rious crop of fine flowers.
Many of these old plants have grown
to be clumps five and six feet across,
and one can often count hundreds of
blossoms and buds in various stages of
development on each plant.
Such plants as these are what is
needed to make the attractions of a
garden permanent. There is no other
hardy herbaceous plant that can be
used with such fine effect in the
border.
Scattered here and there among the
shrubbery, it produces most satisfac-
tory show of color at a time when
most shrubs are not in bloom.
Probably, however, it is most strik-
ingly effective when planted in large
beds. If it can be given background
of evergreens its rich colors show up
to great advantage. Shrubbery Of any
kind as a background, brings its
colors into strong relief, and one
should always plant, if possible, with
that aim in view.
If partially shaded, all the better.
The culture of the peony is simple
in the extreme. 1t does best in a
rather stiff loan, or almost any soil,
preferring. it to a lighter soil, because
it likes to feel the earth firm about
its roots.
While it prefers such soil, it will
do very well indeed in sandy loan, or
almost any soil, provided 1t is rich
in the elements of plant development.
To grow good peonies, one must make
liberal use of fertilizers, preferably
old, well-rotted manure. Unless this
is done you cannot expect vigorous
growth of stalks and foliage. or gen.
erous crops of large, richly colored
flowers.
1t is hardly possible to use too much
manure about it, if it is old enough to
be black and crumbles easily under
the application of the hoe. 1t should
be dug into the soil about the roots
of the plants, taking care, however,
not to dig too close or deep enough
to disturb them. 'S'.e
There is no plant that resents a
disturbance of it's roots more. Dig in
to a clump to secure "toe'' for a
neighbor, and very often the parent
plant will refuse to bloom the second
season. ...s...9-.

CLEAN EGGS ARE ESSENTIAL
Necessary That Nests Contain Plenty
of UnsuIIied Litter-oat or Wheat
Straw Is Best.

1t is necessary, to make sure of
clean eggs, that nests contain plenty
of clean litter. Dat or wheat straw,
cut short, is best. 1t it well too, to
put at bottom a handful or so of to-
bacco stems, which will do much to
keep away lice and mites. To avoid
eggs getting chilled, they should be
gathered regularly twice a day, even
oftener in very severe weather. 1t takes
little time, and prevents loss of good
eggs. Then keep them in a tempera-
ture of As to 55 degrees.

So hardy is the peony that it Is
not necessary to give it winter pro-
lection at the extreme north, if it's
roots are put deep into the ground.
If given shallow planting, the frost
will often heave them badly unless
covered with coarse manure or mulch
of some kind.
The roots should be at least six
inches below the surface. While win
ter protection is not necessary, it Is
advisable, because it prevents taxing
the vitality Of the plant excessively,
in it's efforts to withstand a severe
winter.

WINTER ONIONS

A dry, well-ventilated place,
such as an attic, furnishes
good storage place for onions
in winter, as slight freezing
does not injure them, provided
they are not handled while fro
zen.
To keep well, onions must be
mature and thoroughly dry. Put
in ventilated barrels, baskets,
crates, or loosely-woven bags, as
good ventilation is essential to
the keeping of onions.

garding the storage Of onions,

diseased stock. The progressive seed
grower can eliminate or control nine
tenths of the potato diseases, and will
do so if his market requires it and If
a premium Is paid for the extra labor
involved. A closer connection between
the Northern grower and the South

vantageous.
