Raising Seedlinga.

The process of raising plants of
various kinds from seeds extends over
the greater portion of the year, and
no time is more important than the
present in this respect. There are
many plants of which seeds can be
sown now with better prospects of
success than atany other, and amongst
them may be noted caiceolarias, prim-
Qlas, cyclamens and cinerarias, all of
them being great fayorites with anna
teur growers. Of course, where pos
sible, the boxes, pots or pans of seeds
must be placed in the greenhouse, but
fair proportion will terminate in
warm window if they are care
fully looked after. Use light soil, and
water it well prior to sowing the seeds,
which need not be covered with soil.
Place on the receptaclea piece of glass
and over that brown paper or damp
moss, and, until the seeds vegetate no
further attention will be required be-
yond wiping the glass quite dry each
morning. As soon as the tiny plants
can be seen the paper must be re-
moved, and the glass slightly tilted.
As they attain size, prickiug off and
eventually potting will be necessary,
and every effort should be made to
keep the plants constantly growing

The Founder of San Juan,

Mr.. Frederick A. ODER contributed
to the Century an article on "The Is
land Of Porto Rico" After telling of
the founding of the city of San Juan
by Ponce de Leon, Mr. Ober says:
San Juan, the city founded in 1911
on the north coast, soon became a
place Of Importance, and not long after
settling here Juan of the Lion H cart
built himself castle on the promon-
tory above the harbor's mouth, and
there he planned the voyage through
the Bahamas which resulted in the
discovery of Florida in 1913. But
his search Cor the tabled Fountain of
Youth was not SO fortunate; and so in
1921, being stirred by the news from
Cortez in Mexico, he set forth again,
again, this time to be wounded by an
Indian arrow, to die in Cuba, and to
be brought back to San Juan, where
his ashes still repose, in leaden case
beneath the altar of the Dominican
church.
From his castle, known as "Casa
Blanca" the view he often gazed
upon is still outspread through screens
of palms above the crenelated wall
around his garden, across the land
locked bay which, so many times since
De Icons death, has been the scene
of naval demonstrations.

Injurious Weeds,

From time to time this country is
startled by publications issued from
high schools and colleges as to the
appearance of this or that weed in
some localities and warning cultiVa.
tors against them.
Learned and long descriptions are
given of these particular weeds and
general alarm is excited by supposed
new trouble. Very few Of these new
weeds are worthy, however, of
thought, so far as particular cultiva-
tion of the soil is concerned. The
cultivator expects to hoe and cultivate
among his crop, and one weed is no
more to him than another. This is
especially true Of annual weeds, which
do not flower until after the cultivator
has been through. The prickly let
tuce is an illustration OF this; its bo-
tanical name is lactuca scariola. Con-
tinuous warning against it's appear
ance is heard everywhere, but it does
not come into flower until July, and
long before that the cultivator has
destroyed it. No cultivator need fear
any annual weed. Serious trouble
comes from those which have running
root stocks. In that case every little
piece of root will make q new plant.
In this list we might name the Cana
dian thistle, the English bindweed
(ConvolvuIus arvensis), the so-called
sachaline (Polygonum sachalinense,
Solanum Carolinaum) and the couch
grass (Triticum repens). And even
these can be destroyed by two OF
three successive hoeings or cultivat'
ings. 1t is an exceptional case when
a plant lives without leaves during
one season. The old question OF
dealing with destructive weeds is q
very simple one-we have either to
hoe them out before they have a
chance of making seeds or prevent
them from having perfect leaves dur
ing one seasons growth. The intelli.
gent cultiyator knows this SO we'll that
he is not alarmed by the appearance
of new weed, but rather enjoys it
as it adds somewhatto his botanical
knowledge. -Meehan's Monthly.

The Moorish Sheik.

Close upon US is long cavalcade Of
men on mules and on foot, some thirty
or forty in all. 1 know them from a
distance and already they have seen
me and are leaving the track to speak
a few words to me before they pass
on to the town. The old Moor with
the long gray beard, is a sheik of
the mountaineers, and his authority
extends over his tribe from Tangier
almost to Ceuta and Tetuan, forty
miles and more away.
Yet his dress in no manner betokens
his influence or rank, for the linen
shirt and brown-hooded 'jelab'' that
he wears are common to all. Perhaps
little
more neatly, and is of greater dimen-
sions, than those of the other elders
Of the band, for the young men wear
nothing on their closely shaven heads
except bands of red or blue cloth, or
brown cords of cancels hair. He
rides pack saddle, as have his an
cestors for generations upon genera
tions, and over the neck of his sturdy
little mule dangle his bare legs, with
their yellow heelless slippers hanging
from his toes. In the panniers of his
pack one obtains a glimpse of his CAR
pet and bedding, and belt stuffed
full of cartridges, while another mule
is laden with couple of sheep, a
present for the governor, Or basha,
who resides in Tangier. One and all
bear European rifles, Winchesters and
Remingtons for the most part, and
even the staid old sheik has his own
across his knees, for the ways of the
native authorities are treacherous, and
more than once rumor has spoken of
his probable Imprisonment, owing to
his growing infence over the noun
taineer tribes. But woe betide the
men who should try to arrest the chief
when his band of trusty followers are

MAUsER BULLET WOUNDS.
Surgeons Call Them Humane-Patients
Recover If Not Killed Outright.

burReOnS SdkA 1hotH nuHAdAo-A uoAoutS
Recover If Not Killed Outright.
Lieut.. Col. Charles Smart Of the
army surgical service said in response
to question about the character of
wounds made by the mauser or small
calibre bullet:
CATER the fight at La Quasina and
the battles of July 1, 2 and 3, a re-
port became current that the Span
iards were firing explosive bullets.
and that their bullets spread in such
q way as to cause great liberation.
This was the first report, and it has
been repeated constantly ever since.
''The fact is that the mauser bullets
used by the Spaniards in the battles
we have had in Cuba make what sur
geons call humane wound. They
drop the man at the time he is struck
and take him from the firing line, but
if they do not kill him then and there
he gets we'll.
"Of all the men wounded in Gener-
al Skaters command I have heard of
only one case of an amputation OF q
limb as the result of a bullet wound.
The amputations made there have fol-
lowed a wound by a bursting shell,
where the bone has been shattered.
The mauser bullet does not leave q
wound nearly so difficult to heal as
do the bullets in the Springfield rifle.
During the civil war, when a man
was shot through the lungs by bull
let from Springfield rife he was al
most sure to die in few days or few
months from consumption, OF pneu-
| monia, or some other affection brought
on by the wound. The mauser bullet
will pass through the lungs and the
patient will recover. 1t does not
crush bones so that amputations are
necessary. A wound made by such a
bullet, if it does not affect vital part,
heals as readily as would slight cut.
''This was extremely fortunate, be-
cause after the transports discharged
their passengers they sailed away
somewhere with the medicine chests
on them. When a soldier was wound
ed the doctor reached for the First
Aid" package carried by the soldier
himself, and, applying it to the wound,
completed the bandaging then and
there. This antiseptic treatment
caused the wound to heal without the
formation of pus, and has shown Won
| derful results"

Dairy Precautions.

Shade in pastures, either from trees
and sheds, is essential in midsummer
to keep the COWS from becoming few
erishly overheated to the detriment of
the quality of the milk. During
my dairy experience I have encount-
cred q great deal of tainted milk di-
rectly attributable "a. tiEo-o'ornea1ng
of COWS. Keep them as cool as pos
aibl0 and remove all exciting factors,
such as driving them to and from the
pasture with dogs, etc.
When it comes to the care of milk,
hot weather has no terrors for dairy
man fully prepared and willing to in
diligently combat its deleterious eff
fects. The hotter the weather the
more prolonged should be your appli-
cation Of hot water in sterilizing milk
utensils. Placing the tin milk pans,
pals and cans in the sun after wash
ing was formerly thought to have no
more influence than simply to dry
them. Now it is known that follow
ing rigorous scalding q thorough sun
bath of all dairy utensils destroys any
lurking bacteria that might quickly
propagate and ruin milk quality. Ill
smells about a COW stable multiply
with amazing rapidity during the
heated term. With COWS MIXED there
twice a day it means a dangerous
menace to milk. If you cannot keep
the atmosphere Of your stable as sweet
smelling as that of your pasture, milk
the COWS in the pasture every time.
Attend to the care of milk as soon
as it has been drawn from the COW.
70 let it stand about in pals to wait
convenience is dangerous; to dump a
hundred pounds or more of it freshly
MIXED into a narrow can is PERM
cions. Milk should always be aerated
and cooled sufficiently to keep it fresh
twelve hours before it is ever stored
in bulk. No better way can be de-
vised for tainting fresh milk quickly
and efectually than by plunging o
vessel Of it into cold water. The re-
sulting faint is commonly spoken of
as S'nothered milk. If You do not
possess ice you should wet down the
floor and walls of your dairy room
several times day with cold water.
This will materially aid in keeping the
atmosphere Of the apartment cool and
sweet even during the hottest days.
Good, firm butter can be produced
in July as we'll as in less heated
months if you keep the thermometer
in your dairy room as close to sixty
degrees as possible. In this apart
ment secure free ventilation with a
low temperature, especially at night.
If there is cold running water on your
premises utilize it for the dairy's good
in hot weather. Pipe it to your milk
house. Churning should always be
done early in the day before the
warmth of the sun has made its in
fuence felt. By following this plan
you ought not to be troubled with
butter coming soft, even you possess
no ice.-George E. Newell in Orange
Judd Farmer.
