KEEP GARDEN FREE OF TRASH
Cornstalks, Tomato Vines, Potato
Tops, Etc, Should Be Gathered
Up and Burned.

Neatness, cleanliness, and order in
the garden help in the fight against
insects and diseases, specialists in the
United States Department of Agri-
culture emphasize. AS general rule,
the residue of the garden such as corn
stalks, tomato vines. potato tops, etc,
should be burned. Do this promptly,
so that insects and disease spores may
not he harbOred by the rubbish. Just
as soon as any crop is gathered. re-
move the trash, spade up the ground,
and plant something else. Keep the
garden free from weeds at all times,
and this can best be done by frequent
cultivation which destroys the weed
seeds as soon as they sprout.

PLANT LEGUMES IN ORCHARD
Good Practice That Crops Be Kept
Growing Between Trees in Sum-
mer and Early Fall.

Good orcharding practice requires,
In many instances, that crops be kept
growing between the trees during late
summer or early fall. For one thing
the soil will need humus and protec-
ton from the burning rays of the sun.
1t is good practice to plant cow
peas, soy beans, or other crops that
thrive in late summer and early au-
tumn to protect the soil and to add
fertility to it for the next season.
Most of the legumes are well adapt
ed for summer crops in orchards. Cow
peas are in many instances better
than other summer legumes for this
purpose.
Usually. planting peas or soy beans
In rows between the trees and giving
them a cultivation or two Is better
than broadcast sowing However,
some prefer to sow broadcast.

practically all four inches thick. The
use of this thin slab, which came In

was determined nearly ten years be-
fore the heavy traffic came, so that,

the defective pavement occurs on clay

ut appears that there was estate of Jacob
Baker a Revolutionary veteran, handled In the
Orphans Court Of Philadelphia county. The rec
ords there show that 1t disposed of about
1847. The estate consisted of about $4,000 or
$1,000, shown by the account which is among

that portion of this estate consists of 99year
lease Of certain real estate in the city Of Phil

which the city of Chillicothe Is situated.
"The information further Is given that the real
estate in Philadelphia held under 99year
lease which has just expired and that, therefore,
the real estate is available for distribution among
the various heirs of Jacob Baker. In consequence
OF this, the newspapers In various parts or the
country have printed articles on the subject, stat
ing that the estate is valued at $500, 900
and that there are about 300 heirs. Consequently
many people with the name of Baker inter

'65-POUND COYOTE SHOT
NEAR POOLESVILLE, ND.
Animal Declared to Be First One
Ever Seen in Maryland-Skin
Brought Here.

Far from his native haunts. a coy
ots that recently has terrorized resi-
dents Of Montgomery county, Md. I'M
der the various names Of a wolf. wolf
hound and mountain lion, was killed
Saturday by John A. Jones of DECKER
son, Nd, about five miles from Pooles-
vile. The coyote was skinned and
brought to Washington today by Mr..
Jones and two companions. who had
been with him during his search.
Upon being taken to the. National
Museum it was examined by several
taxidermists and scientists, who de-
clared it was a coyote, or the smaller
specie of wolf that has it's habitat in
the west. DIR. H. H. T. Jackson of the
biological survey stated this coyote
was the first of it's kind ever seen in
Maryland, but it was understood by
scientists that these animals were
gradually moving east.
The coyote killed yesterday weighed
approximately sixty-five pounds, and
measured five feet from the tip of his
nose to the end of his tail. According
to Mr.. Jones. it had been seen in the
neighborhood for the last six weeks.
and had been preying upon chickens
and f1ocks Of sheep. He killed it with
a shotgun.
