Prince Yoe and Women.
Prince Yoe, of Korea, was talking
at Atlantic City about the outrageous
bathing dresses that young women
wear at Ostenti and Trouville
"But a mother, a youni? mother,"
said Prince Yoe, "would never wear a
bathing dress of that kind out of re
spect for her children. As 1 look at
the modest costumes of the women
bathers here I would think they were
all mothers were not some of them
too young."
The Prince smiled. Then he re
sumed: "It Is a fact that little children have
an unusual Influence on young moth
ers. I heard the other day of a moth
er ' who came downstairs In a very
decollete gown and then went upstairs
and took It off again. Why? Because
her little son when he saw her In It
said, ashamed: 'Oh, I'm going to write
and tell papa.' "
Turtle Weighs 700 Pounds.
A monster sea turtle, known as a
leather-back, has been captured at the
mouth of the Nantlcoke river. In Mary
land. . The turtle weighed between 600
and 700 pounds, was a fraction over
six feet long from tip to tip of shell
and had flippers over three feet from
tip to tip.
A half Inch hawser was required to
halter the big fellow to a post. During
an effort to free Itself the rope, which
was fastened over the head and under
the flippers, became so tight that It
was found that the turtle would be
choked. The big reptile became en
tangled In an ordinary fish net spread
off the mouth of the Nantlcoke and
practically wrecked It.
Mirage In Maryland.
Dr. James 8. Chaplain says: "A re

Mrs. John R. Mulllkln, who saw It

West Virginia's Biggest Tree..
The largest Uee In West Virginia,
the big elm on the Hood farm near
Bhlnnstoiu Is to be cut down imme

This old tree was made famous by a

The farmer should remember that
tho stomach of the horse is small and
bene should be careful to see that
his animals hnv frequent drinks of
(rood, pure water during th day. This
Is especially needful during the sum
mer when the days ore hot and dry.
It Is no easier for the hors' to fro from
morning until noon or nlpht tbiin It
is for a man, but we find many care
less farmers compelling thein to. It
Is not humane trfittment and the horse
Is too faithful n servant to be denied
such a small favor.

The goose seldom lays more eggs
than she can cover. She rarely or
never lays a second clutch, and for
this reason it Is necessary to use extra
care with tho first eggs, la order to
inerense the broods. The nest is us
ually thoroughly dry, and the female
sits for n long time, thus making it
ivarm throughout. Sometimes the male
bird is left in charge. When this Is
tho case, the birds will manage their
own affairs, unless the weather is ex
tremely cold. Duck nnd turkeys are
more easily controlled, and lay larger
clutches, the young birds, quite fre
quently, not offering to sit the first
year, but continue laying throughout
the season. While fine hay, or flue
well broken straw, makes good nests,
a very good nest can also be made of
wood shavings. Select only the thin
nest and softest, and make the nest
with them. They can be llghtlv
sprinkled with diluted carbolic acid, t'o
keep away lice, and, being very porous,
will retain the odor and effect of the
acid much longer than any other ma
terial. Mirror and Fanner.

Making Mnner.
Nearly or quite nine-tenths of those
who essay to rear thoroughbred fowls,
do so witli the cxpectatiou of making
It profitable. This is a natural desire,
but it docs not always result that way.
Nearly ull of our prominent fanciers
breed for pleasure, of course, they do,
for they cannot but help feel a reul
pious lire as well as a gratiflcatlon lu
having Que fowl about, them, and In
ministering' to theii wants, yet the idea
of proDt Is not left entirely in the
shade. Fowls are pets which are abun
dantly able ti pay their way, if prop
erly treated, and those owners of fowls
who fall to make them self-sustaining,
hare failed Just that far In the man
liK'omeut. To make them puy at least
nil expenses, nnd usually a fair profit,
It in not absolutely necessary to sell
the surplus for breeding birds at
breeder profit, for it Is a well undr
tood policy with good practical breed
ers, and om usually curried out, to
make the breeding of thoroughbred
fowls pay,' whether sold at breeders'
prices or for food. To be enabled to
do this, requires a close attention to
details In the management of tho birds,
which works a double advantage, us It
ensures the best of care In every de
partment. We take a sound, practi
cal slid common sense view of the mat
ter, and wish to present it In the same
way to beginners. Viewing It in the
light of n spec ulatloii has caused great
discouragement and li.s to the begin
tiers who anticipated lie polden gains
they so signally failed to ijiullzo.

If the old pasture lands are to con-finu.-.
their past productiveness It, Is
necessary to rhserve some menus of
recruiting tin crop ns well as avoid
ing overgrassing while It Is nt its best.
There nre doubtless thousands of pus
tine Melds that are not available for
nny other purpose than grazing. Iu
nianv closes they have been slocked so
heavily and the sod Ims been allowed
to get Into such a bound condition that
the productiveness of the Held hns
been vastly reduced. The problem
that confronts the farmer Is to devise
some means by which the usefulness
of these pastures may be Increased.
A disking or thorough harrowing will
do much to stimulate to a greater
growth. Many of the roots may have
become so stagnated, so to speak, that
further development seems to be en
tirely out of the 'juestion. Dragging
nnd breaking up tln svrfnec tension
will reduce the "sod-hound" condition
by cutting up a portion of the roots,
which Inter decompost and become
plant food for succeeding crops. In
short, a thinning proerss takes place
that Is highly advnntcgrour to the
condition of the pnsiure.
Such n disklnr: o:- hnrrov.-:ig wl'l be
productive of better results, nccord'ng
to many of our best .inthorities on tho
snlijrct. even though nothing else is
done. It Is advisiible. however, to go
further than n mere disking nnd sow a
new simply of grass seed. This should
be a mixture composed largely of blue-g-nss
or other grasses that have been
found to be well adapted to the local
ity. Sii'h attention to the pasture is
sure to be productive of excellent re
turn., with the result that it Is only
a matter of time when the well kept
pasture will have become one of tho
most vnlunhk fields of tho farm.
Drovers' Journal.
rtnvrr a a FrtTirr.
In a bulletin from the C-ntral Ex
periment farm. Ottawa. Canada, may
be found a discussion of tho profitable
noss of growing and turning o'f clover
crops. Extensive experiments in this
line have been carried on nt thnt farm
for a period of over eight years, and
the results gathered therefrom con
tain a considerable amonnl of prac
tical Information and data. The ad
vantages derived from plowing under
clover are briefly stated by the station
ns follows:
1. There is an enrichment of the
soil by the addition of nitrogen ob
tained from the atmosphere.
2. There is an Increase in tho store
of available mineral plant food, phos
phoric ncld. potash and lime, in tho
surface of the soil taken by the clove.
In part from depths not reached by
the shallower root systems of other
farm crops.
8. There Is n large addition of hu
mus, whereby the soil is made more
retentive of moisture, warmer and bet
ter aerated, conditions favorable to
vigorous crop growth. Humus also
furnishes the material best adapted
for the development of these forms of
germ life that act so beneficially in
the soil.
4. As an ngent for deepening and
mellowing soils, no crop gives such sat
isfaction in results ns clover.
5. Clover serves a useful purpose
ns a catch crop during tho autumn
months, when the ground would be
otherwise bare, retaining fertilizing
material brought down by the rain,
and nlso thnt formed in the soil dur
ing the summer months, much of
which would otherwise bo lost through
the leaching action of rains.
fi. As shown conclusively by tho par
ticulars obtained by careful experi
ments over a number of years with
the more Important fuim crops, the
plowing under cf tho green clover has
a most marked effect lu increasing the
soil's productiveness.
