Farmer Proposes New Method to
Increase the Yield of the
Soil.
CLAIMS MANY ADVANTAGES
Prsves Successful In the Experiment
al Stage-BrisIsh Government Ex-
ports Are Much Impressed
With Possibilities.

London.--In these days of cereal and
fodder shortage the farmer who sue
ceeds In growing two blades where
ane grew before would be looked upon
as a public benefactor, but an English
farmer has succeeded in going one
better and writes to the Times to give
details Of the new method.
He suggests that If his plan is adopt
ed there will be more grazing this
year, more beef next winter, more oats,
wheat and hay in 1919 and more graz
in 1919. If the new method Is as sue
cessful over large acreage as 1t has
proved to be in the experimental stage
1t may rightly be termed discovery
in agriculture.
The new method IL as follows:
In July, by the use of a specially
devised drill. winter cereal and an
artificial fertilizer are simultaneously
drilled through any grass land intend
ed for haying the following year. By
September or October the cereal will
have made top growth of from eight
to ten inches. This is then grazed OF
with the grass by whatever live stock
Is turned out upon it. and the grain,
nominally an annual, Is thus turned
into biennial by virtue Of its yield
of valuable grazing in the autumn pre-
ceding the year Of the normal grain
harvest.
Double Crop.
The autumn grazing encourages and
strengthens the roots of the cereal.
Owing to the protection from frost
-, nf frYv.P .a1
spring growth begins earlier, more
heads are thrown up, development is
more rapid, and the grain ripens at the
same time as the hay, both being har-
vested together. The harvesting is
! done by means of an ordinary moving
machine fitted with an extra knife at
the proper height above the grass to
cut the heads Of the grain. The low
er knife cuts the hay as usual and the
upper knife acts as a header.
A carrier behind the header" knife
deposits the grain in separate
swath.
Many Advantages.
The advantages claimed for this
the following:
The productive capacity of the land
IL doubled. Old and valuable grass
lands are not only not destroyed, but
are improved. Economy of labor
throughout; plowing and narrowing
are not needed; both crops are gath
cred together, planting and rolling are
done at the same time, and the grain
crop Is gathered with ease and Ger
tainty, a. there is no green growth
with the grain to be stood In the sun

Sharon, Pa.-That the monsters of

part Of Mercer county in prehistoric
ages is evidenced by the uncovering
Of monster grinder tooth and part
Of bone by workmen of the Besse-
mer & Lake Erie engaged in building
a line through Otter Creek valley, two
miles north Of Mercer.
The molar Is of great size. some
eight or ten inches across the top,
with three pronged roots nearly foot
long. Near by was found the socket of
a joint. The bone is about 80 inches
long, and the diameter of the socket
IA inches. Foreman Andy Marty was

to dry. Economy of fertilizers. A
saving Of one-half of the seed usually
needed. The autumn grazing is of a
fresh nitrogenous character. The pas
sage of the drills through the turf inn
proves the surface drainage. The
equal mixing of straw with the hay for
fodder. The great convenience of July
planting for the farmer.
Saves Permanent Pasture.
1t is asserted that under this method
no permanent pasture need be broken
up. rather that the larger part of the
arabic land might be put down to per-
manent pasture. The permanent pas
lures are In hay and corn one year and
grazed the next. In the spring of the
grazing year seeds of annual legumes
can be planted through the pastures
with the same machine as is used
to drill In the grain, not only on ac-
count Of their feeding value, but also
to increase the nitrogen in the soil for
the following cereal crop.
The drilling of the seed through the
turf is accomplished by small knife
bladed foot that can be attached to
any drill In place of the disk.
Government experts have been so
impressed with the possibilities Of the
method that priority certificates have
been granted for the manufacture Of
the fittings or the import of any parts
which may be necessary If they cam
not be obtained here in time for this

Gard for Your Kitchen.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,

The States Relations service of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture has recently issued "a Guide in
Baking" The whole. thing is printed
on a card, ten by five and half
inches, suitable to hang on the kitchen
wall. On 1t are the measurements OF
-four. The weights and measures were
tested in the office of Home Economics.
The table, adhered to, will enable the
housewife to make good griddle cakes,
mullins, cakes, cookies, drop biscuits
and nut or raisin bread without using
any wheat flour.
Whatever recipes she has used sue
cessfully with wheat flour, she may
continue to use successfully with sub
stitutes for wheat flour. For instance,
the table shows that, If one cup Of
wheat -four was used in certain
recipe and 1t is desired to substitute
barley flour, one and three-eighths
cups will be necessary, while all the
other ingredients remain as in the old
recipe. A number Of good combina-
tions are worked out. By mixing two
Of the substitutes as indicated, the
housewife will get better results than
II she used one substitute. At the
bottom Of the card are half dozen
cautions" aids in baking with sub
stitute flours that have been carefully
worked out by experts. A copy Of the
card may be had from the States Re
lations service, Department of agricul-

TREES FOR PALESTINE
Civilian Commission Will Make
Recommendation.
AforestatioR and Improvement Of Wa
ter Supplies Greatest Of coun.
try's Needs.

London.-Two principal recommen-
dations which the civilian con,mis-
sion now in Palestine will make for
the reconstruction Of that country
will be a scheme for beginning afores-
tation, and proposal for the conser-
walton of water supply by storage and
by opening up old springs.
A preliminary statement from a
member Of the committee says: THE
greatest of all Palestine's needs Ia
aforestation. For centuries the land
has been denuded of Its trees. with
most disastrous consequences. For
the heavy rains at certain seasons, in
stead of benefiting the soil. over more
than four-fifths of the area carry away
In rushing torrents much of the little
soil that remains on the high lands
and valley slopes.
Palestine has not always been tree
less. The Roman emperors had valu-
able forest in the country, and Absa-
lOm was caught by the hair among the
trees, but today one might gallop from
Dan to Beersheba without having to
duck ones head to avoid branch.
'Trees of rapid growth will be plant
ed, and for the more cultivable dis
tricts fruit-bearing trees will be util-
lied.
''The storage Of water in lakes and
reservoirs is comparatively simple. BY
erecting small dams across certain
ways, u series of small reservoirs can
be constructed at little expense, Gre
ating supply that will last through
out the dry season. In southern Pales-
tine hundreds of natural springs can
be opened which under centuries Of
misrule have been allowed to choke
up and fall into disuse.
Palestine today possesses an adj
vantage it never had before in a first
class railway connection with Egypt.
All the surplus crops will find n ready
market in the growing Egyptian
cities"

MAKING MOST OF
ALL VEGETABLES
Families With Backyard Gar
dens Will Need to Do Little
Buying in the Markets.
PRACTICAL HINTS ARE GIVEN
One Of the Safest Rules for Keeping
Well 10 to Eat Variety Of Food
Starch and Sugar Valuable
AZ Fuel Foods.

All over the country war gardens
have been planted to raise food to
''help halt the Hun"
This summer millions of cans of veg
etables will be put up by canneries
and housewives for winter use. but
everyone should have chance to eat
the fresh vegetables while they are at
their best. If you have more than
you can use now, sell them to your less
fortunate neighbor who. has no garden.
What can't be used fresh, can for
winter.
One of the safest rules for keeping
well is to eat variety Of food. Veg
etables are a great help in giving va
riety to your meals.
Eat vegetables every day; many are
mild laxatives and they are better than
medicine.
Let them take the place of part of the
meat and bread you are using today.
Don't think that because vegetables
contain so much water they are not
good food. They are one of the most
valuable kinds of food we have. Veg
etables have their own particular part
In the diet which neither meats nor
cereals nor fruits nor sweets can play.
Part That Vegetables Play.
They are appetizers. Their delicious
f1avors stimulate digestion.
They furnish fuel and protein. Veg
etables, such as sweet potatoes,
green lima beans, green corn, white
potatoes. green peas, onions, beets,
carrots and squash contain enough
starch and sugar to make them valu-
able as fuel foods. Some Of these are
protein foods, too.
They help prevent constipation.
The woody part Of vegetables is val
liable to give bulk to the food. For
very small children 1t should be re-
moved by rubbing the cooked vegeta-
BILE through a sieve, but grown per-
son of sound digestion needs some Of
this woody portion. Don't cut out all
the hard part from asparagus and such
foods. The mild acid in such vege-
tables as tomatoes has some laxative
effect.
Minerals Are Needed.
They furnish mineral matter. This

that vegetables play in the diet. With
out small amounts of mineral salts no
part of the body can be built; they
are needed in nerves. brain, bone,
blood and muscles. Even after growth
these minerals must be furnished to
replace the parts Of the body used up
by exercise. They have an important
part in keeping the different parts Of
the body working smoothly. Eat a
variety Of vegetables to furnish these
much-needed minerals.
They furnish other important food
constituents about which we know
but little as yet. We do know, how
ever, that these substances play an
important part In promoting growth In
the young and bodily well-being for
everyone through life
Eat the green leaf vegetables. let.
