in 1919, it was decided to enlarge
the hospital to accommodate ten pa
tients. Through the efforts of Will
liam R. Messick, Of Lewes, BenJam-
in F. Shaw became interested in the
hospital. He instructed Whining

hospital and to spend $4,000 on I'M

It was decided to do away with
the frame part and the plans pro-
yided for the rebuilding OF this sec

fireproof construction, and to EQUIP
the new part in a thoroughly mod

ground of removal exists under the

second point raised. 1t will be at
once apparent that this second
ground for removal cannot be based
upon the failure to perform the du-

reason assigned by the Levy Court. "
It was the first case of its kind in

Urge SWEET CLOVER FOR
PASTURE IMPROVEMENT
fcnntinued from irst page)

yer this spring as one of the direct
means of reducing their milk pro-
ductiOn costs.
Sweet clover may be seeded in the
wheat during the middle of March
or the first week in April, using the
same methods as when seeding other
clovers. 1t is very essential that the
biennial, white blossom, scariied,
northern-grown seed be used, and
care must also be taken to inoculate
the seed in the event that it is being
sown for the first time on any par
ticular field. Either the soil from a
sweet clover or an alfalfa field, or
the prepared inoculation culture
NAV be used for this purpose. The
usual rate of seeding is from ten TO
fifteen pounds to the acre, and some
farmers prefer to add few POUNDS
of alsike and timothy seed to pro-
vide an earlier form of pasture than
the sweet clover affords the nrsC
season.
Lime is very essential to the sue
cessful growth Of sweet clover so
unless the field has been lined With
in the mast two or three years, 1t is
advisable to apply from 800 to 1OOO
pounds of the hydrated llme' or !Cs
equivalent, per acre. Thls materlaI
may be applied as top-dresslng on
the wheat during the winter or early
spring months.
This type of legume is not gener-
allv recommended for hay, although
II NAV be cut about the first week
in September of the first year II the
weather conditions have been favor
able for its growth throughout the
summer. The second years growth
makes a very course hay whlch is
rather undesirable, so the chleI op-
iect in growing this clover, tnere-
fore. is for pasture. If this clover
is used for hay the second year,
however, it should be cut ABOUT
twelve inches from the ground, as
too close moving will have ten
dency to kill the plants. In addltlon
IN a good pasture field every farm
or. and especially the dairymen'
should have a few acres of alfalfa
which is one of our most deslraDIe
As sweet clover is a biennial crop
if does not fit into the rotation IN
which hay is followed by pasture
consequently it is best adapted to a
four-year rotation such as corn
wheat. wheat and sweet clover IN
which alfalfa could be grown for
bav. Sweet clover which is sown
this spring could be pastured this
fall and again the following year
and then in the spring Of 1928 II
would have to be plowed under Ior
such crops as corn, tomatoes OF
soy beans.
Those farmers who are not grow
ing sweet clover at the present tlne'
but who are interested in seeding a
few acres this spring, should get IN
touch with their County Agent II

concerning the cultural require
ments for this particular legume'

BY the Associated PresS.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, February o.
The heart of a dog. functioning under
normal and abnormal conditions, has
been photographed with a motion pic
ture camera and the result will be
shown to 1900 physicians attending
the annual clinical session of the
American College of Physicians here.
DR.. G. J. Wiggers and DR.. George
3. Ray took the pictures in the re-
search laboratory of Western Reserve
University, where the films will be
screened when the clinics open to-
morrow morning.
This demonstration of heart action
j. regarded as important in the study
of heart disease.
The pictures were taken of the
heart of an anesthetized dog. They
show the heart performing its func-
tons under normal conditions and de-
pict how it acts when diseased, the
latter condition being produced arti-
f1cially.
A new device for photographing
sounds of the human heart has been
developed at the Western Reserve
laboratories.
Through photography of heart
sounds it now is possible for a country
practitioner to record the vibrations
of his patients heart and send the
picture to a specialist for diagnosis.
Vibrations Recorded.
The device carries heart vibrations
to delicate membrane to which is
attached a small mirror. The mirror
reflects the vibrations to a film in the
form of a jagged line, and the Aim,
when developed, is ready for study.
The physicians formally opened
the five-day session yesterday with a
technical discussion of several COM
mon diseases.
