Some Of the leading clubs favor

latter frown on it because of the
mix.ups of identity that occur from
time to time.
For instance, the report was pub

was the Mohawk Junior Club which
had been trimmed. For several days
sandlot fans were in doubt as to
which was the victim.
Incidentally, the two Mohawk

improvement Where Grasses
Are undeyeloped.

When pasture begins to fail 1t may
often be improved without ploughing
by tOpdressing the land Literally with
barnyard manure or acid phosphate
with lime. This is usually the case
where the pasture has plenty Of the
good pasture grasses which, however,
are poor and undeveloped. A top
dressing on such a pasture will not
only bring good crop OF grass in
two or three years but also drive out
some of the weeds that overrun the
rundown pasture lands. This top
dressing will be better than reseeding
where the soil is exhausted.
Where there is a decided dearth of
good grasses, liberal applications OF
manure may be combined with plow-
ing and reseeding. Where 1t Is neces-
sary to plow as well as topdress with
manure and fertilizer, II is good
idea to grow a crop of potatoes or oats
or perhaps buc1wheat. Such crop
will pay the cost of reseedlng, then
the following year good crop of hay
can be taken off, and after that good
pasturage may be had for many years.

Etymolooists Pretty Well Agreed That

in the Year 1927.

After many years debates by gram

Howe In the gainesville, Ohio, Tele-
graph, Issue Of July 8, 1927.
That the Telegraph first used ths
word is ascertained by the New Eng

the Telegraph used a capital "B" in
spelling the word at that time, for
the following reason:
Bogus" Is believed to be corrup-
tlon OF the name OF Borghese who
is said 10 have worked of great
amount OF counterfeit bills on the in

Counterfeit money came to be known
by the term "Borghese," then the Ital.
ian name was changed to "Borges"
by the westerners, and finally the
word Bogus was coined by the tele-
graph.
The latter word Immediately struck

SELF-FEEDER FOR CHICKENS
Homemade contrivance Reported to
Department Of Agriculture From
Indiana Agent.

A good homemade self-feeder for
poultry reported TO the United States
Department of Agriculture by the
county extension agent of Knox coun-
ty, Indiana, is one made OF an old
mower wheel. barrel with both ends
knocked out. an old washtub, and
small platform OF rough boards. The
wheel Is first laid on the platform. The
barrel is then placed on the wheel,
filled with dry mash, and the tub
turned over the top of It for a cover A
barrel should be used which leaves
just enough space between It's edge
and the rim of the mower wheel to al
low room to feed. This prevents the
feed from being scratched outside the
rim.

Samples of honey are being received
by the United States Department of
Agriculture from beekeepers in all
parts of the country in connection
with the work Of establishing reliable
color grades for extracted honey. A
new type of spectrophotometer will be
used in this work, which will be done
by agrlculturists of the department in
cooperation with the division Of
grades and standards of the bureau OF
agricultural economics. 1t is also
planned to use the honey examined in

the Plant Food Which It Contains
to Increase the Fertility Of the Soil,
find in the usual manure pile condl-

Through their operations organic mat

Heating of the pile also occurs Both
of these occurrences are familiar to
everyone around a stable or where
piles of manure are about.
When manure is spread evenly In
the open field not only are the condi-
tions which make for the activity of
the bacteria overcome, but new fac
tors tending to check their continued
operation are introduced. The mere
fact that the waste no longer lies in
pile is matter of considerable mo-
ment, for the pile, as already incl
Gated, furnishes the physical sur
roundings most favorable for the op
GRAFTON of these organisms. Moisture,
which they need, Is present in just the
right amount. Air In the pile supplies
them with the oxygen which they re-
quire. The mass of waste holds the
heat which is generated in the chem
lcal reactions which accompany the
processes of decay. This, in turn,
makes possible even greater activity
on the part Of the bacteria.
