The Quaker Bonnet.

I have heard that there is as much
technique in the making of the bonnet
of the olden pattern for the Friends
as there is in the japanese art OF
drinking tea. In Ohio there is sec
ton that wears the Quaker garb with
the bonnet; there Is another In Iowa
that still keeps to the Characteristic
costume; In NewY orkin settlement on
both sides of Lake Cayuga are Friends
who follow the simple, historic fash
ion; and in Fairhope, Ala, a single tax
settlement very largely settled by
Friends, are others. Much Importance
is attached to what is called the Tex
preston" Of the bonnet In the very
simplicity there IS quite as much room
for the manifestation of q particular
taste as in the more elaborate millin-
cry of t'the worlds people" Even to
half hair things must be right. The
finished product comes in for close
critical scrutiny at every possible an

she does not care 10. have 1t known

is why each must be the same as the

the soil mulch restored or excessive
run-off and evaporation will soon rob
the crop of much-needed moisture.
Promptness in restoring the soil mulch
after each rain is of great Importance.
This work can be rapidly and less ex.
pensively performed by use Of double
cultivators widened, and by driving
astride each alternate row, as by this
practice the mulch is restored in half
the time necessary to drive astride OF
every row. -.
Corn should not be cultivated so
long as the soil mulch is in good condl-
ton and free of weeds. Corn should
not be cultivated when the soil turns
up in c!ods, breaking the corn roots
and permitting the soil to dry out to
q greater depth than 1t would If not
cultivated.

HISTORIC BERMUDAN CHURCH
st. Peters Has Many Mementoes Of
Interest to Both Englishmen
and Americans.

One of the most Interesting
churches to be found anywhere is OLD
st. Peters in Bermuda. 1t is in the
told town of St. Georges, ana was
built In 1713 on the same site as the
first church, built in 1850. 1t is built
of the native white limestone, as are
all the buildings in the BerniusaS'
and II shows the marks of time.
Everything in and about st. Peters
is intensely interesting. Its church
yard contains, among others, the
grave of Hester Tucker, the "Nea" be-
loved of Thomas Moore, the poet, who
was an official ut st. Georges Mt one
time, and promptly fell in love with
pretty Hester. Every square mch OF
the old church walls, inside, are Gov
cred with memorial tablets, many OF
them being the work Of famous Eng
lish sculptors. Not few of the tap:
lets perpetuate the memory of nem'
bers of the English nobility, ana II
makes one realize what a scourge vel
low fever and smallpox were before
science got in its benefcent work, for
illusions to smallpox and yellow fever
being the cause of the deaths are very
numerous. St. Peters has q massive
silver communion service presented
by King William III of England, and
a christening basin, the gift of Gov.
William Browne of Salem, Mass, IN
17S9. The pieces presented by the
king all have the insignia Of the Or
der of the Garter.

The high price Of rough feed en-
rhasizes the necessity of all farmers
planting a sufficient acreage Of sum-
laer forage crops to enable them to
srovide themselves with hay and
other roughages for their live stock
during the coming year. With the
abundance of pasture available in the
springtime farmers oftentimes are un-
mindful Of The necessity Of providing
for that period during the fall when
pasture will be dry, or during the win
ter when there will be no feed avail
able.
The county agents should be con-
suited with reference to the available
ity of seed. Where outside purchases
have to be made the order should be
placed at once, so that the seed may
be on hand to SOW when the soil Is In
good condition and the season Is not
too far advanced.

crops for the Southwest sorghum or

ment of Agriculture.)
Approximately 100,000000 acres Of
corn in the United States are annually
given two or more civilizations. Guilt
tation Is considered essential in the
corn production. The general purpose
Of cultivation is to promote the early
growth and later development Of the
corn plant. The usual type Of culti-
yation is sometimes modified to meet
special conditions, such as retarding
the vegctative growth of the plant by
cutting the corn roots in early cultiva-
ton. The kind of cultivation will also
vary to some extent to meet the re-
quiremcnts of different methods OF
planting. 80
Some of the most successful corn
growers begin their cultivation before
they plant their crop. They claim
that deep cultivation Of the soil at
this time Is Of as much value as later
civilizations. 1t causes the soil to
warm mere quickly, destroys early
weed growth, and incorporates the veg
etable matter more thoroughly into the
soil.
Corn Is cultivated to prevent weeds
from robblng the corn of soil moisture
and fertility, to put the surface in the
best condition to absorb rainfall, to
warm the soil by drying it's surface
quickly, and to save moisture by check
ing the capillary rise to the soil sur
face.
Corn should be cultivated often
enough to keep down the weeds and to
maintain loose soil mulch until the
crop has attained its growth. To sat
!sfy this end q greater number Of cuf-
tivations will be necessary when rains
at intervals Of week or so cause
the surface soil to run together and
crust. This crust must be broken and

OLD WELL STILL PRODUCING
Hole Drilled for Oil In Pico Canyon,
California, Continues to Pour
Forth Wealth. -

The first known discovery Of petro-
Ieum in California was made in 1863,
by Mexican hunter, who had followed
a deer trail to the head of Plco canyon
In Los Angeles county, near the pres
ent town Of Newhall.
He came upon q seepage Of sticky
fluid that was unknown to him.
Prompted by curiosity he collected a
small quantity of it and took 1t 20 the
mission settlement at San Fernando.
There q Doctor Gelsich, who had for
merly resided in Pennsylvania. idcntt-
fed it rs petroleum and at once formed
company and staked out claims. In
1870 shallow well was drilled at the
head of Pico canyon. and is said to have
produced at the time Of drilling be-
tween 70 and Is barrels of oil per
day. .--.
About this time D. G. Scofield
formed what was known as the Cali
forna Star Oil company. Later the
Pacific Oil company was formed, and
the two companies were operated un-
der the same management-C. A. Men
try being field superintendent, and MIR.
ScoGeld, vice president and general
manager.
The old well today is the property
of the Standard Oil company OF Cal
ifornia, and stands as the first and
oldest well in the state. 1t has never

BEANS FOR HAPPENING HOGS
Several Experiment Stations Have Tested Soy Bean With Very

 As supplement to cornmeal for growing and fattening pigs the Wis consin station found that ground soy beans proved about 10 per cent su- perior to wheat middlings, figuring the cost of the feeds as the same. The h. diana station compared ratiOns of two parts of cornmeal and one part of soy-bean meal with cornmeal and wheat middlings in equal proportions and with five parts of cornmeal and one part of tankage for pork produc- tion. The soy-bean ration produced the largest daily gains, and this with the smallest quantity of feed con. sumed for each pound of gain. The Kansas station has tested the value of soy-bean meal in combination with cornmeal and with kafir meal in com parison with the two latter feeds alone in feeding hogs. The feeds were mixed in the proportion of four-fifthS corn or kafir and one-fifth soy beans. per cent, were made in every case or. the mixed rations than on corn or kafir alone.
