Western Conservatory of Music. She
sends testimonials from the President
and every Professor in the College,
from the Conservatory of Music. and
from large number of ministers
and others, all of which speak of her
in the highest terms as to christian
character, scholarship, natural ability,
tact, and special faculties and adapta
bility as teacher. We know of no
reason why we should take these tes-
timonials with any allowance, but if
she is less than half as good as they
represent her to be, we will be great
ly pleased, and our students largely
profited by having her in our faculty.
Miss Omie Feagans, of the Normal
Department, was educated in the
State University of Indiana, where
her record was unusually good. She
has, since then, become very promi-
nent in the Normal School work in
that state-a leader in all the e,lu-
cational associations, and especially
in the line Of Physiological Psychol
gy, or child study, subject now be-
prominent in Normal School
work i'll the east. For the last eight
years she has taught in one of the
best schools in the state, and having
a corps of twenty-six teachers. Her
testimonials represent her as being
far the most able instructor among
them. We have papers and testimo-
malls from various leading educators
in Indiana expressing their regret of
the fact that she is leaving that state.
We think ourselves extremely fortu-
nate in having secured her services
FOR our Normal Department. Under
her leadership and with her special
qualifications and love for the work,
We expect the Normal Department of
our college to furnish very superior
advantages for Normal students.

Roaring Young Turkeys.

Confine the brood for a week after
Matching. Should the mother hen then
become restless, she may be let out dur
ing the middle Of the day. AS the tur-
key retires early and dislikes being dis
turbed after settling down for the night,
be sure to coop them before the sun
sets. The young turkeys will eat but lit
tie the first week. Feed separate from
the mother, for she will devour all the
food within reach Dry bread soaked in
sweet milk is one of the best foods for
the young, as is curd from fresh butter
milk. When months old, feed whole
wheat part of the time and mix corn
meal with their feed. This should not
be fed exclusively. Allow liberty, as con-
finement will kill young turkeys. When
the mother hen begins tramping wildly
from one side of the coop to the other,
let her out unless the weather is unfa-
vorable. When thesize of cartridges and
old enough to follow the mother in long
rambles, the young will need but little
attention, simply little feed morning
and evening. Do not neglect to bring
them home at night and put under shell
ter until old enough to fly into trees and
care for themselves This advice is from
American Agriculturist. It is also sug-
gested that you teach the turkeys to
come at the sound of your voice. 1t will
save many weary tramp in searching
woods and fields.

Tho sauasI, Vino Borer.

Of late years the squash vine borer
has become an unusually well known
pest in all parts of New York state and
especially on Long Island and in the
vicinity of New York city. Although
not feeding above ground, its presence
is plainly indicated by the appearance Ct
the affected vines, which at first turn to
very Light shade of green and then
suddenly wilt and finally wither and
die. AS the larvae live within the vines,
except for short time Immediately
after coming from the egg, the applica-
tion of insecticides, however efficient in
other cases, would be of little or no val
ne here
In small gardens the practice of cut
ting the borers out as soon as the vines
begin to show signs of injury has been
found to be thorough and practical
remedy. If the part is Immediately GOV.
cred with moist earth the vines do not
seem to suffer injury from the wound
Some growers practice covering the base
Of the vine as far as the third Or fourth
joint to strengthen the growth. Many
farmers delay planting their late squash
es as long as possible without endanger.
ing the crop. The field should be ferti-
ized heavily to give the vines a vigor-
GUS growth. From all appearances those
farmers on Long Island who have had
the best success in combating this insect
are those who have watched for and de-
stroyed eggs, larvae and moths.-Bul

THE HOME.
The Flower Garden.


The busy woman wants for her sum-
mer garden such flowers as will give the
largest amount of bloom throughout the
season with the least possible amount OF
care. But very often this busy woman
does not know just what kinds to get TO
meet her requirements, and frequently
she writes and ask me to give her list
of some of the best and most easily Gull
tivated ANNALS, says Eben E. Rexford in
Harper's Bazaar. In this paper l Will
give such list hoping it may furnish
information great many busy women
throughout the country may be glad to
get. One of the best ANIMALS is the
phlox. 1t is of the very easiest culture.
1t begins to bloom early in the season.
If prevented from developing seed, ii
blooms all summer. It comes in q great
variety of colors and shades, from pure
white to deep crimson. The two finest
varieties are the white and the bright
rose. Grow these colors in bed by
themselves, and you will be more pleased
with the result than you will If you
have half a dozen other colors in it,
The petunia is another easily grown
plant. 1t blooms with wonderful free
dom, and keeps at it until frost comes.
If you go over the bed once month and
cut off the ends of the old branches. the
supply of flowers will be greatly in
creased, as new branches will be sent
out, on which great many flowers will
be produced. The colors range through
all shades of rose and violet to pure
white.
The calliopsis is a charming
flower. 1t gives great profusion of most
snowy, brilliant blossoms, some of a
rich golden-yellow with a maroon blot ch
at the base of each petal, others all
maroon. 1t is excele it fer cutting, be-
cause of it's loug stems.
Every garden should have bed of
nasturtiume. If you want many flowers
from this plant, do not give it a very
rich soil. If you do. there will be q
luxuriant growth of branches and fol-
age, but few blossoms. The dwarf varie-
ties are best. This is an excellent plant
to cut from. Its colors range from palest
yellow to dark crimson and maroon.
Balsams are beautiful plants. Their
flowers are like miniature roses in form
and they are produced in great mum bers
all along the branches. The foliage is
also profuse and great deal of it must
be cut away in order to give the flowers
chance to display their beauty
OF course sweet peas should be includ-
ed in this list. So should the old morn

A friend to rye manuring says in a
letter to Rural New Yorker: If sown in
the latter part of August the cost can
be nearly met in pasture for cows in the
fall The covering to the ground is a
very large benefit; also the work of the
roots in gathering and holding plant
food and the improved condition Of the
soil in spring. Sown on very light sand,
/ have had it pillow in March as if it
We're sod. The ground seemed perfectly
filled with roots, and with no other ma
nuring the crops were highly satisfac-
tory.
AS to allowing the rye to grow until
the middle of May or later and then
blowing down for corn or potatoes, I
would not think of it for moment for
light land or any but stiff, rugged SOIL
and then with many doubts. The sour
ing Of such q quantity of green stuff
could not as rule be favorable to grow

matted with rye that one can walk over

benefit of the rye to those crops for any

MIXING OF FERTILIZER.
When and How 1t May Be Practiced by
Farmers at Home.

A study of the fertilizer market shows
that saving Of 10 to % per cent may
be made in the purchase of fertilizing
materials by buying at wholesale and
taking advantage Of low markets In the
home mixing of fertilizers there is a
great chance for saving. A common ar
gument against home mixing Is that
the mechanical condition Of the fertili-
zers will not be equal to that Of CONNER
cial brands. This need not be SO, for by
the use Of screen home mixtures may
be made fine enough to use in any plant
er. Some care, however, should be taken
that there be a sufficient proportion Of
well dried materials like blood, tankage
or fine ground bone, to make the mix
ture dry enough SO that it will not hold
together when pressed within the hand.
Where much nitrate Of soda is used, the
mixing should be done but a few days
before wanted for use, as the nitrate has
tendency to absorb moisture.
The advantages Of home mixing are .
1. A considerable saving from the prices
of commercial brands may be made by
buying the chemicals. 2. The mixture
can be suited to the crop to be grown.
8. The peculiarities of particular soils
may be considered in preparing the mix
lures. 4. A saving in freight by using
concentrated materials.
The farmer should study the needs
of his crop and the deficiencies of his soil
to the same extent that he studies the
needs of his farm animals. Fertilizers
should be used to supplement the stable
manures. Except in special cases, their
use in this way is more economical than
If used alone. The fact that good stable
manure supplies considerable nitrogen
should point out the need Of economic
ing on this particular element where
both stable manure and fertilizers are to
be used
In preparing home mixtures, it is i'm
portant to consider first that nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash in available
forms are the only ingredients that we
need to consider in the preparation of
fertilizers. Lime is often needed, but all
mixtures containing phosphates will also
supply some lime, while if heavy linn
ing is thought advisable air Stacked lime
is probably the best material to use says
the author Of the foregoing in commu-
nication to Rural New Yorker. He eau
tions against the tendency to use ferti-
izers too sparingly and advises the en-
ployment Of from 1000 to 1900 pounds
per acre.

The House Moth.
| The housewife needs no telling or the
harm that moths will do in the family
wardrobe and the house furnishings.
She is, however, deeply interested in
any proposed remedy no matter how
many times she has failed to keep heI
treasures intact. From bulletin of the
Vermont experiment station the follow.
ing suggestions are taken:
If clothing, etc., can be enclosed IN
perfectly tight paper bags before moths
begin to fly and lay their eggs it will be
completely protected. Out OF doors the
moths do not appear before the latter
part of May ii before June in this region.
and during the month of June the cam
paign must be vigorously prosecuted.
Articles found infested or it suspected
may be sprinkled, or better, sprayed,
with benzine, and this will destroy even
the eggs.
If infested closets, drawers, ETC., are
thoroughly treated with benzine in June
there will be little trouble during the
remainder of the season. After spraying
and airing articles may be safely
wrapped in papers, or if posi- BILE put in
bags A few cents worth of paper bags
is worth far more than costly cedar
chests or closets. Furniture, carriages
or other large articles in constant use
are not very likely to be attacked.
If stored they should be covered with
paper so completely as to leave no OPEN
ing for the ingress OF the moths. If this
cannot be done then spraying with
benzine or bisulphide of carbon early in
June and again in a mouth or six weeks
should prevent damage. When more
convenient cotton cloth may be subsui-
tuted for paper iii covering carriages OF
other objects.

COLONEL FRANCIs's REGIMENT.

The last act in the siege of Boston was
the evacuation of the town,
by the British army, March
Il. I776. Immediately ave regime of the
American army, under Gen. Heath, were
sent to New York, and others followed.
Gen. Putnam was despatched with orders to
be Commander i'll Chief of sll military oper-
atoms about New York until Gen, Washing
ton could close up his affairs about Boston,
which he did at once. arriving al New York,
April 10.
The two months troops raised to reinforce
our army about Boston were discarged about
April ], and returned to their homes.
N August four regiments, from the army
about Boston, were ordered to mar oh at
once to reinforce the Northern army then at
Fort Ticonderoga, one regiment being Col.
Edmund Phinney's 18th Continental Regt.,
from this State.
The Northern army had been unsuccessful
in their conquest of Canada the winter be-
fore and had retreated to Fort Ticonderoga
where they determined to make stand.
With this army was the remnant of Arnold 8
army who marched up the kennebec river
in the fall of 17.5 to Quebec. The Northern
army endured great suffering from The small
pox in the first half of the year 1T6, one
regiment having at one time every man in
the hospital. but at this time it had subsid-
ed SO there was but little danger from it.
After SO many regiments had been ordered
away from Boston it was necessary to raise
short service men to garrison the forts, to
protect tho town from an attack from the
British cruisers
Ebenezer Francis of Beverly, who had
been captain in Col. John Mansfeld's
Regt., from May until December 17.5, raised
a regiment who garrisoned the sorts on
Dorchester Heights froIn August until De-
cember 1910. about three months. IN his
regiment were two companies from Maine,
Capt. Samuel LeightOn's York County
company, whose roll has been published
and Capt. Richard Mayberry's Cum be rland
County company whose roll we published
now for the first time. giving the residences
of every man. We are also enabled. by the
carefulness of an officer, to publish full
list of tho commissioned off GERS of the regi-
ment with their residences and most Of
their ages at that time.
: At the expiration of the term of service
of this regiment, Col. Francis raised the
l1th. Mass Regt.. for three years service
from Jan. LIST 1777. and many OF tho officers
and men, enlisted in it.
Col. Francis was killed in charge at the
battle of Hubbardton July 7. lit. He was
a brave and conscientious officer, and was
honored and respected by his men. The
chaplain of his regiment wrote of him soon
after his DEATH that she had emba 1mad his
name in immortal fame" With him that
day, were three cmpanies from CUMBERLAND,
and one from York county, and no drawer
