Elon College.
*Cor. of The Gleaner.
-The quiet college community is
all bubbling over with enthusiasm
at this of/ season, because of two
recent occurrences in the way of
beautifying things here.
The first occasion wss the visit
of Miss Annie Rode, Washington.
D. C., who began last fall a sys
tematic scheme to improve and
beautify the premises of the South
ern Railway here. Her visit At this
timer re\ eaied a more comprehen
sive plan than had at first beep re
i alized. The Southern appreciates
the native beauty of the town and
aims to" supplement nature by art
as far as possible. Her statement
> that the Southern is s citizen of
> every town and intends to set a
gmd example in good housekeep
ing portends a new day for corpo
ration co-operation in the South.
It is understood also that the
Southern meditates the early addi
tion to its station here of a large
and modern waiting room far la
dies, with all modern improvements
to accommodate the lady members
of the student body. This is indeed
welcome news.
The second occasion of talk and
enthusiasm is the hint dropped
from-the office, thtftbe
! cause of the generosity of certain
friends, the college campu\ is to
be surveyed and laid off by an ex
pert- landscape igardener, and a
complete reconstruction of the
grounds' accordance therewith
progressively entered upon.

are sude to fcaet on wall bracket*
about two fest above the concrete

There is s door In thejp'est end and
another one In thg east end of the
house. Also thpre Is s doorway through
ths osnter partition. It will depend
upon the climate whether the west
door shsll be boarded up tight In the
winter or left open for use. In sum
mer the doors may all be left open.
This poultry house msy be built
higher or lower, sccordiag to the cli
mate; also the upper part of the house
la finished differently where the cold
is extreme.
Sometimes louver openings srs put
in the ends of the gables and a loose
floor of narrow strips placed overhead
for a celling. Over these strips the
little loft Is filled with clean straw.
Air finds its wsy slowly through ths
filling of straw, without causing s
'draft.
Sometimes the strsw Is supportsd
by stretching wovsn wire fencing st

Bulletln 136 of the Utah experiment
station fires tbe results of a study

seven-year-old hens and their prog
eny, and figures given are very In

next year she came back with 187 and
repeated frith 108. In her fourth year
ebe fell down, to 73, yet In her sixth
year she laid aa many aa she bad
when a pullet. It Is a question wheth
er It paid to keep this ben after her
third year, but sucb records are nec
essary In order to learn' definitely
about such things.
Tbe cost of renewing tbe flock Is
considered one of the greateet draw
backs to the poultry industry, tbe
authors estimating the cost of • pul
let—probably up to laying sge—at
from SO tq 60 cents. Tbe average pro
ductive life of hen» cannot be esti
mated at this stage of their work, but
for tbe strain used in their studies
waa thought to be about four years..
The range of Individual egg pr9duc
tlon In their flocka was found to be
from 100 to 180 in the first year, from
108 to 140 in the second year and from
110 to 110 in the third year. After
tbe third year the production re
mained fairly constant at about 80,
with a variation of not wore than 10
or IS eggs per year.

Farmers Are Beginning to Realize
Importance of Practice.
Where Abundant Vleld of large,
Mealy Tube re le Dselred, Seme
Other Meane Than That of Na
ture Must Be Reeorted To.
(By E OITSKB.)
The farmers of tbe great West are
beginning to realise the great impor
tance of mulching potatoes. Years
ago when the eoll waa new this man
ner of treatment was unnecessary be
cause the soli waa so rich in food
elemnnts that the potatoee took an
early and rapid start and made such
excellent growth tbst the vines shaded
the ground, thus preserving the
moisture In the soli
It would havs been queer Indeed
for these early farmers to mulch their
potatoes under such conditions, and
when also, hay and straw were scarce
articles.
But now the fsct must grsduslly
dawn upon them that If they wish to
keep up the abundant yield-of large
mealy potatoes they must resort to
some other means tban merely letting
nature attend to the matter to get
results.
Perhaps if we understand the pres
ent conditions of the soil It would
help us to understand more clearly
the necessity of mulehlng. Tbe soil
through continued cropping has be
oome deficient In food elements and
humus. Nearly every crop we raise
to taken entirely from the field and
no return Is. made In tbe form of
manure, fertilizer or bumue.
Under these conditions the potatoes
make a slow growth snd before tbe
vines get tbe ground shaded the sea
son Is so far advanced that the hot
winds snd sun's heat bavs taken up
moat of the moisture of tbe soli, with
ths result that the crop Is materially
decreased
One should choose sucb time for
mulching when the first potatoes show
above ground. If mulched before this
time it has a tendency to- make the
plants soft snd puny, but If left until
tbe first potatoes appear above the
ground the plants will be stronger and
better able to push through the
mulching.
k fairly light mulih Is to be pre
ferred to a heavy ope. for two rea
sons. first, there v/11l be less trash
to be removed from the fields In the
fall; and. second, a light mulch will
Allow the vines to become low set and
therefore less liable to danger from
drought.
A light mulching need not be
removed from the field at all. but
should remsln there and thus sdd
more humus to the soil.
The mulching should be shout two
or three Inches deep when fslrly well
settled Hay ia to ha preferred to
straw for mulching, as latter has
a tendency to become hot during the
day, wblls the former will keep cooler
under the same conditions.
. After the potatoes sre mulched they
' should not be molested except to pull
the weeds that might coma through
ths mulching.
The scandal a' Annapolis, where
in numerous midshipmen are under
investigation or cheating tn exam
inations, is further augmented by
tbe diaclosnre of disgraceful hazing
episodes. ■

to give her a royal wedding gift

constantly.
"Old Dobbin, the little bouse oSfci|

months later Dorothy came to him ta''M

"My darling child!' he exclaimed/fl
"toll me your troubles."
"Those horrid card psrtlee!" walled 1
the spoiled beaaty. "I've been MIM

"I will see what I can do,' pra«jl

It took Mm only a day to resHsS
that the sale of everything he had mE
the world would not bring more thaaH
a few hundred dollars. He had nswejfJS
borrowed In hla life, bat as he stralMtl
about restlessly that evening be tried' m
to think of old-time frlenda who mightj*V
be willing to help him oat Alas;fj
they were few and far between,
"I mast find some way to help tha, II
dear cbUd,"'he reflected with new aadnl
matlon as he paused opposite that' ;j|
stylish apartment house where tha. -
Dales lived. It cheered him to eossUNfl
er that Dorothy was comfortably* I
housed amid warmth, light and lux- |
air- The artlees old man did not 'm
sent the fact that ha was never
vited to the house, that his soa-te
law when he met him on the street -jS
gave htm simply a cool, careless nod.
For all thia Ross walked on. his heart %
warmer than ever toward the merceo
ary daughter, whose whim and extrmv
agance had brought him directly to
the verge of poverty.
Crash!
The old man made a brisk lump. ■*;
Ha waa hardy la time to escape being ..
struck by sn automobile, which had
collided with another machine, tore- -
Ing It half way acmes the sidewalk,
demolishing ite front tins and.roduo- J
ing the glaaa wind shield to atoms, j
Mr. Ross felt one of the fragments J
strike his face. He pat his hand ap to
his eye. for lta*visaal power seemed £
suddenly blotted out His flngera be- ?
came daubed with blood. He expert- '
enced a sudden feints ess. A police
man caught his ana and supported
him, while another ran to the corner fj
patrol box and telephoned for an am
balance.
'Totally blinded In one eye," waa
the report of the hospital surgson the -
following morning, and he wondered J
at the sudden glow of excitement that i
came Into the face of his patient
Through the mind of the self-sacriflo
big sufferer ran a speedy remembrance
of the wording of the accident policy \
he carried:
"For the loss of one eye, one thou
sand dollars; total bllndnass, twenty- ;1
five hundred dollars."
The thousand dollars went the way £
of all his previous donstlons, quickly •
ased up by tbe reckless Dorothy.. Then
eame new demands.
The resources of old Ross were BOW
exbsusted. He bad not even a home.
* One night, wandering the streets, he ;.*j
waa attracted with an excited crowd
to a burning hotel. He waa among the
first to resch It An oUlcer whom he
knew allowed him to pass the lire line
as Roas showad him a little child at a
third-story window shut in by the
flames and insisted on attempting her
rescue.
I Boss had groped his way to the
room. He took the little one In hla
arms. Just In time to evade a belch
ing gnat of flames from.a lower win
dow he dropped the child into the out
spread safety net
"Jump, yourself. Why, it's Mr. Roas!
Jump, yoa brave old men!"
Boss sssoysd to climb op on the
Window sIU.
Too late! and ha was not sorry. As
he soak back overcome by the smoke,
bis wan face was wreathed with a
gladsome smile.
"Dear little Dot!" ha uttered lov
ingly.
Tha year brought bankruptcy to
Venjoo Dale and the life of s house
hold drudge to his soured, chagrined
wife. Rarely she thought of her dead
father. Only once la awhile did she
regret that th# Insurance money had
been wasted. She strove to shut oat
a memory of the father who had
givsa his life for her.
But every year the little child, the
one Adam Rosa had saved, sad her
parents, visited the looely grave of
the breve hero of the hotel Are. At .•
least with thsm there will be tender j
remembrance while IKe lasts of tbe
being they always refer to as "Qod's ■ |
good man!"
