WINE MAKES DRUNKARps.

Some years ago, as a w. G. I. U.
organizer, / had occasion to take a
freight train one Monday morning
across a beautiful stretch Of the Sac
ramento valley to meet an appointment
for that evening. A freight train is
not supposed to stop often, but the
only passenger trains being through
trains with inconvenient hours, this
freight became an accommodation train
and stopped with terrific jolts wherever
tagged. This occurred many times and
each time drunken man, perhaps two
or three, came aboard. Usually they
at once fell asleep in their seats and
with each jolt of the car were liable
to roll of. Asking the conductor for
an explanation was told, "Oh, these
are just Monday DRINKS, mostly farm
hands from ranches who have been
over at the winery on Sunday and were
too drunk to get home last night. Half
of them won't be fit for work before
Wednesday,"
/ spent month In Sonoma county
before the present cross-country rail-
roads were in use. l went back and
forth like shuttle over the stage
roads, often with the same driver, of
whom l asked so many questions that
afterwards learned he assumed that /
was a widow looking for a home to
purchase His business was largely ex-
press, taking produce to market and
bringing parcels from town. At every
stopping place the courtesy of glass
of wine was offered. He sometimes ac-
cepted, extending the offer to his pas
sengers. In declining it asked, "Is
This native wine intoxicating?" He re-
peated my question, rs it intoxicating,
We say? Do ye moind that? There was
Q Sunday picnic from the city up here
yesterday and he pointed to the help
less figure of a well-dressed young man
tying hatless in the gutter under the
broiling sun, adding, "They get drunk
slower on this native wine, and it takes
deal longer to get 'em sober. He
won't get to work for day or two"
On my last day with this driver he
volunteered some friendly advice.
"Now, If it's a home you're looking for
don't buy one of these pretty vineyards.
They don't pay. I've been deputy
sheriff of this county many years. and !
know who gets sold out by the sheriff,
for serve the papers," and the good
man drove out of his way to show the
chicken ranches that paid better than
vineyards. "And know that too" said
he, 'for / take their chickens and eggs
every week to the railroad and bring
back their y."--Dorcas ]. Spencer.

Here is our 1917 girl-Miss Pre-
paredness. Her costume is Of army
cloth, from head to her well turned
ankle.
The remarkable feature of the cos
tune is the cape or poncho, as you pre-
fer it, thrown over her shoulders. 1t
will surprise you to learn that this is
really her skirt which buttons up the
front. In time Of need it serves the
purpose Of an adequate body covering.
When necessity or convention demands
skirt our charming Miss loosens the
fastenings at the throat and binds 1t
about the waist. If tramping or shoot
ing is the program she wears it as
pictured above.
Should this young lady join an arm
of our service this garh would be most
utilitarlan. Within moment she could
climb over the sides of her aero and
soar upward or mount her horse or
motorcycle as necessity may demand
and speed away.
Cap, jacket, trousers, and puttees
are of the same material as the poncho.

Street suits Longer.

The best tailor-mades are a little
longer than they used to be few
months ago, but the dancing gowns
the very few that are required-are
rather shorter, If anything, which is
not a step in the direction Of grace.
Sleeves are increasing In length. de-
scending often to the knuckle. conse-
quently getting rather In the way Of
the wearer. Some Of the prettiest thin
sleeves of lace, chiffon and mousseline
err rather on the side Of being too
short, that is, they come far beyond
the elbow and little above the wrist

almost the most important item that

The airy, flower-trimmed and softly

SOBER ARMY.

"A change has come over the army, "
declared Maj. Dan Morgan Smith, at
a meeting OF the Illinois Anti-Saloon
league at the Great Northern hotel Of
Chicago. The major had just returned
from the Mexican border. A corporal
will now say to the men, "You have
got to hike to Austin, but you can't
drink and hike" When a man falls
out of the ranks he is given spirits

TREATING WHEAT SEED FOR
DISEASES

College Park, Sept. 6.-An inspec-
ton OF wheat fields during the month
OF June in several counties of Mary
land revealed the fact that consider
able loss was being caused BY certain
diseases such as Smut and Scab. which
may in large measure be controlled
BY applying certain preventive meas
ures. These diseases are caused by
small parasitic organisms which enter
the wheat plant, and weaken it, so that
It is unable to form its grain in the
usual way. One Of these diseases,
known as Blunt or shrinking smut, is
readily controlled by treating the seed
with Formalin, pint to 40 gallons of
water The water may be emersed in
the Formalin Solution for ten min
utes, during which time the grain is
stirred or shaken TO drive of all the
air; so that the solution wisl penetrate
the grooves of the grains, and also
allow the chaffy kernels to rise. These
should be skinned of. The wheat is
then spread out to dry. after which it
may be sown or stored until sowing
time.
Or the wheat may be spread out on
the floor and sprinkled with the
Formalin solution, after which II is
scooped over and sprinkled again.
This is repeated until all of the
berries are wet with the solution. after
which the pile of grain is covered over
with burlap bags or canvas, and al
lowed to stand from FIVE to ten hours.
The grain is then spread out to dry
as directed above.
The Maryland State College is plan
ming TO demonstrate this method OF
treatment in every community of the
State this fall where wheat is grown.
Anyone interested in having a demon
stration on his farm, should mention
the fact to his County Agent. The
demonstrations will be started about
August 10th, and continued for two
months.
A big difference has been observed
between the crop grown from untreat-
ed and Unframed seed on the one hand,
and recleaned from treated seed on the
other. 1t is, therefore, planned to re-
clean the seed. running it through the
tanning mill two or three times before
treating It by the Formalin method.
The grains removed by the tanning
mill are scabby ones and the smutted
ones, both of which not only yield
very little or not at all, but also infect
the plants from healthy kernels. The
recleaDing of the seed and the treat
ing it with Formalin should become a
part of the general farm practice
wherever wheat is grown.
With wheat at $500 per bushel, we
cannot afford to take chances on these
diseases, which may be controlled at
so little cost.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened By Annapolis Experiences

Kidney disease is too dangerous t
neglect. At the first sign of back
ache, headache. dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak
ened kidneys prompt attention. Eat
little meat. take things easier and use
q reliable kidney tonic. There no
other medicine so we'll recommended
as Doan's Kidney Pills. Annapolis
people rely on them. Here's one of
the many statements from Annapolis
people.
Mrs. v. Hodson, 20 Holland St. An
napolis, says: 1.-TWO years ago had
terrible pains in the small of my back
and the attacks were so severe that
was confined to bed for q month,
hardly able to move. The bottom of
my feet were badly swollen and my
sight was 50 blurred l could hardly
read. The kidney secretions gave me
no end of annoyance too and was
more tired in the morning than when
went to sleep. Reading of Doan's
Kidney Pills got a box at Green's
Drug Store. This medicine brought
quick relief and two boxes cured me. ;"

slLAcE MIXTURES IMPORTANT.

College Park, Sept. 6.-The high
cost Of grain together with the neces-
sity of using more of the total produc-
ton for human food than ever before
means that large part of the grain
mixture ordinarily fed for milk pro-
duction must be replaced by long feed.
Legufne hay such as clover, alfalfa.
or soybean when fed with good silage
will maintain medium milk produc-
ton and greatly reduce the amount Of
grain required for larger productions.
The principal crop for the silo is
corn, although sorghum and kaffir
corn are used in sections where corn
cannot be grown on account of
climatic conditions. Grain crops in
combination with legumes such as
wheat and vetch. oats and crimson
clover, corn and soybeans or cowpeas
have been successfully ensiled.
The legumes alone, do not make a
good quality of silage owing to the
absence of sufficient sugar for proper
fermentation. In Maryland there are
a number Of factory by-products which
make good silage. Pea vines, corn
husks and sweet corn fodder all make
good silage. However, sweet corn
fodder should be more nearly mature
than field corn before 1t is ready for
the silo.
When the corn is In the glazed
stage, 1t contains two-thirds more dry
matter than when in the milk stage
Also, corn in the milk stage will make
Z silage more acid than when more
nearly mature. In normal season
the proper time to cut corn for the
silo is when it shows the first signs
of ripening.
Silage should be cut from one-half
to one inch in length and the knives
on the cutter should be kept sharp.
In order TO keep the silage of uniform
composition some sort of a distributor
will be found most convenient Two
men in the silo with a distributor can
pack the silage sufficiently The edge
next to the wall should be kept high
er than the center and tramped con-
stantly When the filling is completed
the top should be leveled. If several
barrels of water are added and the
top tramped each day for two or three
days not more than six or eight inches
of silage will spoil. In order to pre-
vent waste the top may be covered
with straw or corn from which the
ears have been removed. The top OF
the silage may also be covered with
oats. which will sprout and make an
afr tight seal
Silage spoils in two ways. If 1t has
the appearance of rotted manure, air
has gained access to the silage. Spoil
ing of this kind is frequently found
near the doors If white mold is found
the indications are that the corn was
too dry and water should have been
added. II a layer of spoiled silage is
found around the edge of the silo it
indicates that the walls of the silo are
not air tight or that the sufficient
tramping was not done when the silo
was filled
