While the swift water around Chain
Bridge is perhaps the best hshlng
ground in this vicinity for perch, u Is
not by any means the only place where
these gamey little fellows can be caught
They can be landed all the way from the
Railroad bridge up, and there are at
least fifty we'll known holes in the river
that the old-time angler visits each year
and seldom returns empty handeo.
BIoodworms Good Bnit.
One of the best bats to tempt these
perch are bloodworms, and, besides, they
are so easily obtained. There are sew
eral sporting goods houses in the busl-
ness section of the city that always have
a good supply of them. Then. of course,
there is always the good old garden
worm that can be gotten in any soft
earth and costs nothing but the exer-
ton of digging it up. A great many
perch are caught with live bait. and
these minnowS can be obtained at hey-
noldS' boathouSe or on the virginia size
of the Highway bridge Last, but by no
means least, there is the crab, but this
particular kind of bait is very expen-
sive There are times. however, that the
perch seem only to be hungry for this
kind of diet.
There are many fishermen who try
their luck for perch from the banks of
the river and along the sea wall from
Hams Point all the way to Chain bridge,
but the best way to angle for them is to
use a rowboat. Then, if they do not hap
pen to be in one place you can weigh
anchor and row to some other spot
These boats can be obtained from the
boatmen along the river front at very
nominal price, namely, SO cents on week
days and 81 on Sundays.
All reports from Chesapeake Bay
say the fish have not advanced far up
as vet, only a very few being caught
Capt. Andy Manifold, well known to
many Washington anglers, says that he
put his nets into the water last week
and succeeded in getting only three
shad and few herring. He advances
the opinion that the water still is too
cold for them. At this time last year in
comparison, he already had made a
81 500 haul in one day. He expects. how
ever, that when the water gets a little
warmer to get gratifying results from
his nets which he operates in Herring
Bay and offshore at Chesapeake Beach.
With the exception of the brief state
ment from Benedict to the effect that
some hardheads had been caught no re-
ports have come in from saltwater fish
ing grounds.

A great number of golfers tee the
ball far too high and when they
come to play with the brassie they
find that the ball lies very near the
ground, with the result that they fail
to get the ball up. When they do
get the ball up they get bad direc-
ton. A very bad slice is caused by
pushing the clubhead through the
ball, and also by trying to swing
far too hard or hurrying the swing.

High Value of Alfalfa
Shown at Iowa Station

The value of alfalfa in the ration
Is often underestimated. There Is no
comparison between 1t and timothy as
dairy feed. The Iowa experiment
station recently condiihted feeding
experiment comparing alfalfa hay and
timothy hay as roughage for milk
production. Throughout the COMPARE
son ration of corn silage and grain
mixture of four parts cracked corn,
four parts ground oats and one part
Of oil meal by weight was fed. Alfalfa
and timothy hay were fed alternately
with the above ration. The results are
compared on the basis Of value per
ton: When alfalfa Is worth SIS per
ton, timothy has a value of sc cents
per ton. At the present time this
would make timothy hay worth about
$1.50 per ton for milk cows. This low
value is due to its low protein contents,
high percentage Of fiber. low percent
age of ash and lack of palatability.
Under these conditions it would seem
advisable for dairymen who have only
timothy hay to feed the herd. to sell 1t
and buy alfalfa whenever possible.

Have You This Habit?
By Margaret Morrison
USE YOUR OWN MIND

. EBECCA NORTH'S father, who
- himself had inherited his traits
from Southern plantation owner and
a New England clergyman. always
told her, when she came to him as a
child for help in her lessons, use your
own mind" The phrase stuck and. as
she grew up, she noticed how con-
spicuous by it's absence was that
quality in most people. Once she hap
pened to make the remark that, If one
wanted to make friend of a person,
the surest method was to get him to
do one a good turn. Within the week
she heard three of her friends repeat
her bit of worldly wisdom, or get it off
as their own. That, she decided. was
not using their own minds, but hers.
Rebecca chose the books she wanted
to read for herself When she went
to buy a hat she had her own opin-
ions about line and color, based on
thought and observation.
"You look just lovely in it, the
saleslady might say; but If the crown
was too big for Rebecca's profile, she
used her own mind in making her de-
cision.
Her friends opinions, as they mar
ried, were what John thinks" and
their standards were what is done"
Then the Continental railroad went
into the hands of receiver, Rebecca's
father succumbed to heart failure and
Rebecca and her five sisters were left
high and dry without a cent to their
names. Gradually their possessions
were sold off and their clothes grew
shabbier, and the general interest that
their misfortune had at first excited
wore away. Then 1t was that Rebecca
remembered her fathers old saying
use your own mind'-and decided
that the town where they had grown
up held no future for any of them and
that she was going to New York.
Presently word came from the prod
igal. After all, she had not gone off
on a within, as they had thought.
Realizing that New York was the aim
of every spring shoppers feminine
heart, and that most of her acquaint-
ances achieved that end but once in
several years, Rebecca had the inspira-
ton Of being the clearing house be-
tween supply and demand. In year
she had built up shopping business
on such scale that she sent for one
of her sisters to join her. One by one
all five were taken into the concern.
Rebecca North's habit of using her
own mind had stood her in good stead
in crisis.

DAIRY,
4s,r;.,1lIil1I|
FIRST STEP FORWARD
IN CALF PRODUCTION

The dairyman should not overlook
the fact that to produce high-grade
milk HIS cows must be healthy. A
COW In abnormal condition win pro
cnce abnormal milk and should the
unfortunate condition arise of having
tuberculosis In the herd, then the milk
is grave source of danger not only
to the immediate family of the dairy
man, but also to the public health In
general. Fortunately the tuberculn
test enables the dairyman to locate
the cows afflicted with this disease.
Mix coming from cows which are
off feed should be discarded, or. at
least not put in with the milk that is
going on the route, or to be shipped
to the distributor. If the COW is being
treated with drugs or if she is about
to calye, or If she has calved within
five days, her milk should not be used
for distribution.
The problem of keeping the COW
clean Is not such a difficult one If a
few simple means are adopted and
followed. Before milking, the cows
udder, TANKS and tail should be thor
oughly cleaned. The COW should be
kept In stall that has the right
length Sufficient bedding should be
provided and a number of dairymen
clip the hair from udder, TANKS and
bellies to make cleaning little easier
and possibly more effective. The hairs
will drop Off from time to time and
they carry with them a large number
Of bacteria. The grooming of the COW,
however, should be done a suflicient
time before milking 80 that the dust
will have settled when milking begins.

Considerable Variation
in Weights of Calves

Careful dairymen always weigh
their newborn calves unless the
herdsman is sufficiently skillful in
judging the weight This is done in
order that the right amount of milk
may be fed to the calf. AS rule,
male calves average considerably
heavier than do heifers, and the
weight Of the calf usually is from 9
to per cent of the weight of the dam.
There is considerable variation In
the normal weights of calves Of yari-
Gus breeds, and men who have raised
beef cattle and then acquired Jer-
sey COW to supply milk to their fam
lilies often think the calves weak and
puny. Calves of the beef breeds gen
orally average heavier than the light
breeds of dairy cattle. The following
figures show the weights of normal
calves:

TEAMWORK FOR OUR TOWN

In every city, town and hamlet we
may find strong competition in bust
ness differences in politics and relig-
ion, social rivalries and personal an
gromisms-and these will probably
always exist to a greater or less ex-
tent
But there is one common ground
on which all should be willing to
meet, laying aside personal griey-
ances and prejudices-that is, where
the common welfare of ''our town
is concerned.
In other words, no matter how
much we may disagree and fight
among ourselves, we should stand up
for our town against all opposition.
This sort of teamwork is what makes
a town worth while, insures its pro-
gress and better understanding
among its people.
By joining with an enemy or rival
In some movement for the betterment
OF the community, we often find him
TO be pretty good sort of fellow,

TOLERANCE AND UNDER
STANDING ESSENTIAL

The emphatic mo" vote cast by
the American people in the last cleo
ton is a remarkable expression on
their part against any proposition
seeking to undermine the strength
OF national and state constitutions
or to restrict the right to individual
initiative and enterprise.
The United States still remains the
great champion OF private develop
ment OF industry under fair and rea-
sonable public regulation as contrast
ed with paternalistic forms of gov
eminent which seek to kill incentive
and ambition.
The fact that some 100000 men
and women voted for radical pro-
gram in the past election shows the
