CHILpREN,s GARDENS.
they Develop In the Young Mint Low
of Nature.


Give the children a garden all to
themselves. 1t should not be large,
but large enough to afford little mild
occupation. These little plots, if mat
sers are managed rightly, will develop
love of nature in the children and
teach them many of her open secrets.
ALI may be brought about, too, quite
naturally, for the strong initiative fac
atty of the infantile mind will prove an
excellent ally and nothing will be
found to delight most children more
than to have a corner of the domain
entirely to themselves, wherein they
may carry ON such operations as they
see going forward in the larger gar
dens BY little skillful management,
their native curiosity may be led to
seek for answers to all sorts of ques-
tons in this domain. Be at some pains
to show them how to prepare the soil,
explaining also why this labor is neces-
sary. Teach them to recognize the va
rious seeds at sight, and show them the
manner of planting each best calculated
to induce termination.
Attention may be directed to the diff
ferent modes of termination. as that of
the bean, which emits but a single
shoot, and then jumps above ground
itself to look around and nurse the
young plant: while the corn kernel
throws out two shoots, one downward
and one up to the light, but itself stays
in the ground. Then they should be
taught to recognize the first shoots of
each garden plant, and not to mistake
them for weeds or the weeds for useful
plants.
These and thousand other things
throughout the season may be found to
interest child of active, in
quiring mind, while such old-fashioned
virtues as industry, patience, perse-
verance and order may unconsciously
get lift at the same time. For while
the plots should not be large enough to
seriously tax the play hours in their
care, it should be understood that no
slovenliness could be allowed, and that
a decent carrying out of what had been
undertaken would be expected. Nature
offers rewards of her own for such
labars as even child is capable of, but
these might be judiciously augmented
by small prizes for the best-lool<lng
plots, the largest retu rms, etc. Perhaps
some grown persons will exclaim:
But don't know anyt hing about these
things myself" Well, no harm will
be done if, in teaching the children, you
find out. too.

Unique Motive Power.

Accounts come from Germany that
Krupp, the famous gun maker, is now
building number of experimental en-
gines to test a novel idea. According
to Hardware. a German inventor has
taken patents on the utilization of the
general principle that finely divided
carbonaceous matter floating in the air
readily explodes. Heproposes to grind
coal to an impalpable powder, and
after introducing the dust floating in
the air into the cylinder of an engine,
explode it, the idea being to follow
very much the same lines which are
being so thoroughly developed in the
use of gas in engine practice. Natur-
ally, the first question which has risen
has been how to get rid of the ash.
Krupp is reported to have stated that
his experience in gun manufacture con-
vinces him that this is not serious
obstacle. The advantages which would
grow out of a direct utilization of min
eral fuel as mined are very obvious

DAIRY AND BARNARD.

THE question of feeding milk 70 cows
comes up frequently for discussion at
the farmers meetings, and the general
opinion is that it does not pay to feed
the milk to cows as long as it can be
fed to pigs or other young stock.
The best way to feed the whey that
comes from the creameries is to use it
for moistening ground grain. If the
pigs are fed with whey and grain once
or twice day, and also permitted to
have plenty of green clover, they will
grow rapidly, and produce pork at as
little cost as by any other method of
feeding.
The wild onion will be a source of
difficulty to dairymen where the pas
lures have received but little care The
only way to get rid of the pest is to cul-
tivate the field in hoe crop for two
seasons, and keep down all grass and
weeds, when pasture grass may be
seeded. Cows eat the wild onions (also
known as white garlic while they are
on the pasture, and the milk will be
given the characteristic onion Jdor

Alligator's nests resemble haycocks
more than anything else to which they
can be compared. They average about
four feet in height and about five feet
in diameter, and are constructed of
grasses and heritage. First the mother
gator deposits one layer of eggs on a
mortar-like floor, and having covered
this with stratum of mud and herb
age about eight inches thick, lays an
other set of eggs upon that, and so on
to the top, there being commonly from
100 to 200 eggs in a nest. With their
tails the parents then beat down the
tall grass and weeds, TO prevent the
approach of unseen enemies The
female watches her eggs until they
are Matched by the heat of the sun,
and then takes her brood under her
own care, defending them and provid-
ing for their subsistence. DIR. Lutzen-

Whoever has neglected to destroy the
caterpillar eggs before they Matched
should do so just as soon as the nests
appear among the branches of the trees.
With pair of long-handled pruning
shears, the small limb or twlg upon
which they are resting may be cut off
and burned or crushed under foot. Or,
with pole fitted with a hooked wire,
similar to that in Fig. 1, pull the nests
from the tree, and crush them with the

A California Argument Which Holds Good
in Other States.

A California Argument Which Holds Good
in Other States
One of the most important adjuncts
for success in farming is the possession
of roads maintained in such a condition
that heavy loads may be hauled over
them at the smallest possible outlay of
strength. Yet nothing is so much
neglected in the rural districts as this.
In fact this state may be said to be
practically without any scientifically
constructed roads, while no state is in
greater need of them, This is truly a
region of magnificent distances, and
nine-tenths of the farmers have to
make long hauls of their crops with
teams in order to reach a market or a
shipping point. 1t is of vital impor-
tance, therefore, that the roads over
which these loads must be carried
should be kept in good order, so that
the cost of transportation may be re-
duced to the lowest possible limit.
No one who has had occasion to
travel over the roads in the interior
need be told that in the greater number
of cases they are maintained in such a
manner as to necessitate a vast waste
of power in hauling freight, They are
filed with chuck holes, there are long
stretches of loose sand, in which the
wheels of the lightest vehicle sink deep.
ly, increasing the draft enormously,
and the only attempt to remedy these
evils is by occasionally spreading a

however, the wheels of loaded vehicle
press the surface downward, the result
being that the load is constantly being
hauled up hill, and from two to four
times as much power is expended as is
necessary.
1t is safe to say that the farmers of
California have, in the forty years dur
ing which they have been raising wheat
and hauling it long distances to market,
expended as much for extra horsefesh,
feed, repairs, etc, as would have suf-
feed to have built scientifically con-
structed roads wherever the bulk of
transportation is done.-San Francisco

Road making or repairing consists in
blowing up the surface of the thorough
fare and keeping up the loose earth in
the middle, there to be again cut into
ruts and worn into hollows by passing
teams.
The idea of building roads as they are
mac in Europe, even in the most thick
ly settled localities, seems never to have
entered the minds of those who have
most to do with the use of the high
ways. 1t is safe assertion that it re-
quires from four to eight horses to haul
the same amount of grain or other COM
modify that is being hauled in Europe
by one or, at the most, two animals.
The reason for this is demonstrated in
the accompanying illustrations. In
Europe the roads are carefully built,
with foundation of heavy stone and q
surface of small fragments, which are
rolled until they become hard and
smooth.
Over this heavy load can be hauled
with the greatest east, there being no
giving of the surface beneath the pres
sure. With an ordinary earth road,
such as universally prevails in this state,
