Her toad, a tree fond, she says, croaks though It has been Imbedded In the concrete basement wall of her home 11 years. The toad was not heard until a year after the house was built, and Is silent In the winter, but through the spring, summer and fall It is noisy. Three years ago, according to Mrs. Chaloupkas, the toad was silent and she thought It was dead, but a few days later she heard It again and it la croaking as merrily at, ever. to-d- ay i TIMES-NEW- ft 5eor$e6)ashin6toR S1753 TWr .:.X r be green.

In any month the moon may be seen at least .18 degrees south of the celestial equator, and after two weeks at least 18 degrees north of the celestial equator. In some years, as 1913 for Instance, the moon may be seen nearly 29 degrees south of the celestial equator. The moon's rapid northerly progress occurs about one week later than Its farthest south, and about one week earlier than Its farthest north.

This has been etdab- llslicd by two yeara of experimental work by the poultry butibandry department of the Ohio State university. The molasses has replaced corn on a basis. "It has given equally good results In rations for starting and growing chickens, laying hens and fattening birds," says Prof. A. R. Winter of the poultry department, In dlscuKslng the results of the tests. In a test with laying hens, those fed on a ration containing 5 per cent of molasses luld 10.03 per cent more eggs than a group fed with corn and no molasses. At the same time the mortality among them was only S per cent as compared to 12.5 per ccut among the hens which got no molasses. The test was carried on during the full and winter months. Growing chicks, at eight weeks of age, weighed 17.7 per cent more when fed a 5 per cent molasses ration, and suffered a mortality of only 7.32 per cent as against 12.39 per cent for the chkks which received corn Instead of tnolasses. When fed 10 per cent molasses the chicks weighed only 18.5 per cent more, but the mortality had been reduced to 4.88 per cent. "The cane molusses carries some vltamlne li and furnishes carbohydrates In easily available form," says "The potassium Trofessor Winter. sails In the product serve as a rotld laxative. It Is believed that the carbohydrates create a condition In the Intestine unfavorable to the development of coccidlosls and other harmful bacteria. This theory Is under Investigation at the present time." possBKHea : pound-for-poun- f' f r . V""' A I I ?v M te I wP VV tI 1 4Vt'. fjy-yj- tv f Cve'2 ? X0m. I y1 J &V J- - C - , I - . . - . f V .

His hobby was scientific farming. Of all the books In his extensive library, those which related to agriculture were most read. Our first President cherished the desire to spend his days at Mount Vernon, where he could experiment with seeds and plants imported from He wished to solve foreign fields. the perplexing problems of the Vir ginla planter. He aspired to develop Mount Vernon Into the finest plantation and stock farm in the western hemisphere, according to George Q. Pacy, writing In the Washington Star. Eminent American architects who have made careful studies of the construction of Mount Vernon's mansion say that the house as completed by Washington was built to withstand seven to eight centuries of service. The frame of the home consisted of hand-hewwhite oak timbers which were Joined together with wooden dowel pins instead of spikes. The foundation was built to endure as long as the rock of ages. Some of the sandstone walls date back to the days of Augustine Washington. It Is probable that 700 years from now the mansion will still be standing as a cradle of history and shrine of n patriotism. Symbolic of Masonry. some time or Perhaps at other when you have visited Mount Vernon you have been Impressed by the methodical arrangement of the barns, spinning house, kitchens, office, gardener's bouse, seed and Icehouses, carpenter shop, laundry, smokehouse nnd other outbuildings. History believes that George Washington, the leading Mason of bis day, designed the layout of bis estate buildings to represent the outlines of Masonic symbols. The modern blrdmnn who files his plane low ever Mount Vernon may be able to recognize the curious insignia scrolled In structures of brick and wood. Even though Mount Vernon were not the former home of one of the world's greatest generals and one of Amerlcu's most beloved Presidents, It would still merit historical preservation ns an example of superior Colonial architecture and an Illustration of successful scientific farming. George Washington devoted many years of study nnd effort to the perfection of He bullded his Potomac plantation. so woll nnd wisely that modern planners and designers do not err when they copy some of his schemes and In the Chicago subarrangements. urbs an American millionaire hns a of fine reprodnctlon remarUnbly Mount Vernon on bis country estate.

The simulation of Mount Vernon Is outstanding among the mansions, many of which cost double and treble as much. r It was from his Law rence that George Washington Inherited the 2,500-acrhomestead which was later a part of spacious Mount Vernon. George subsequently pur chased the Interest of Lawrence's wife In the estate and at the age of twenty-on- e became the sole owner and proprietor of one of the Old Dofinest minion's The plantations. young landlord purchased adjoining acres until he finally possessed a plantation of 8,000 acres.

Union farm Dogue Run farm and Muddy IIoIp farm. He placed a foreman In charge of each farm, with a manager over The seeing the entire enterprise. manager was responsible to Washing ton and reported In detail every Sat nrday , Do not gain the incorrect impres slon that George Washington was a "front porch farmer" because he hired an agricultural manager to look after bis farming Interests. Washington was called away from home so fre It was quently that Imperative thai he keep some one on the estate to look after his Interests. While our first President was at home he worked as hard as any farm hand His day began at sunrise, when lie fared forth to see that his farm hands were at their stations on time. After breakfasting at 7 Washing ton would spend the morning riding over his farming fields, seeing to It In person that his orders were faith fully executed. He also kept all the farming records and accounts, wrote the daily happenings In special agrl cultural diaries and generally took charge of the business affairs of the great plantation. Mount Vernon Flour Famous. George Washington remodeled and improved the old grist mill at Mount Vernon and developed a prof ltable system of marketing the wheal and other bread grains which be half-brothe- e raised and made Into flour or baked A creek, a tributary ship biscuits. of the Potomac, provided the power to turn the cumbersome millwheel and also served as a waterway for navigation. Sailing ships from the seven sens came up the river and creek from the Atlantic and moored at Washington's mill wharf, where they loaded cargoes of flour and barreled biscuits. When the prices ot wheat and flour were low Washington had his colored cooks bake stu pendous supplies of ship biscuit which were pneked In barrels and sold to the mariners as nutritious pro visions. The Mount Vernon flour mills produced a fine quality product. Its fume gained such Importance In the British Isles thnt the English cus- toms officers eventually passed ull of Washington's flour on the basis of Its origin and label wUhout opening and examining each shipment. Washing ton's diaries record thnt at times he sold as many as 1,000 barrels of flour In one cargo. Georgetown in Days of Glory Lying to the westward in a near Island between I lock, creek end the I'litoninc river, Georgetown is a part of Washington which has now begun not to be apart. I'rnud with hor pub MiiMiililinj's and embassies and mar-hiresidetices, Washington Imd forgotten that Tom Moore was visiting the nrltish minister who then lived In Georgetown, In 1801, when he wrote of Washington ns "u ?nst bog."

Sprouted Oats Needed , by the Laying Hens "Sprouted oats for laying hens," Is that should be In every poultrymun's feeding guide, says G. 1 Stevenson, of the Sonth Dakota State college. It's not very expensive rlther. However, It does require a warn room or basement. Equipment needed for sprouting oat.i may be homemade. The boxes should be shnllow, not over three or four inches deep. In preparing the onts for sprouting, It should be soaked overnight In a bucket or tub. A few drops of formaldehyde added to the water In which the oats is soaked will prevent mold from developing. Moldy grain Is ofien futal to poultry. After the oats has been soaked and drained It mny he spread out In the boxes nnd kept In a warm room or In n heated sprouting device.
