THE JOY OF GARDENS.
Possess One and he Happy "A Thing OF

Possess One and He Happy = A Thing OF
Real Delight
Perhaps no word OF six letters con-
centrates SO much human satisfaction
as the word garden"
Not accidentally, indeed. did the in
spired writer make Paradise garden,
and still today when man has found
all the rest Of the world vanity, he re-
tires into his garden. When man
needs just one word to express-in rich
and poignant symbol his sense Of ac-
cumulated beauty and blessedness, his
first thought is OF a garden. The saint
speaks Of THE Garden Of God" "A
garden inclosed Is my sister. my
spouse" cries the lover; or, There is
garden in her face" he sings, and
the soldiers stern dream is of a gar
den of swords" The word heaven"
itself is hardly more universally ex-
pressive of human happiness than the
word garden"
And you have only to possess even
quite a small garden to know why. A
small Old garden-so long as it to be
old. 1t hardly matters how small 1t is,
but old 1t must be,for a new garden is
obviously not a garden at all. And
most keenly to relish the Joy which an
old garden can give, you should per-
haps have been born in a city and
dreamed all your life of some day own
ing garden.
No form Of good fortune can, am
sure, give one deeper thrill Of happy
ownership than that with which one
thus city-bred at last enters into pos
session of an old country garden.
Everything your eye falls upon seems
to wear something of the same look
and as your eye ranges with sumptu-
GUS sense Of proprietorship from end
to end of your little domain, your
heart is filled with sense of home
more profound, more unsuitable, and
more pathetic than you have ever felt
before-before you owned q garden

in New York.
4 Judge Clarke. of st. Louis, has con-
victed and dned heavily a number Of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the Health Depart
ment Of New York seized a quantity
of stun being sold for baking powder
which they found was made from alum
mixed with ground rock, and dumped
It into the river
The health authorities are thus tax.
ing effective means to prevent the In.
PRODUCTION into our markets Of injur.
i0us substitutes in place of wholesome
baking powders.
As alum costs only two cents
pound. there Is a great temptation for
those manufacturers who make sub
stitutes and imitation goods, to use 1t.
Alum baking powders can be detected
by the health authorities by chemical
analysis. but the ordinary housekeeper.
whose assistance in protecting the
health Of the people is important, can
not make a chemical examination. She
may easily know the alum powders,
however, from the fact that they are
sold at from ten to twenty cents for
pound can, or that some prize-like a
spoon. Or glass, or piece Of crockery.
or wooden ware-is given with the
powder as an inducement.
As the people continue to realize the
importance Of this subject and consum.
ers insist on having baking powder Of
established name and character and
as the health authorities continue their
vigorous crusades, the alum danger
will. 1t Is hoped, finally be driven from
our homes.

One of the gravest aspects of the
problem Of caring for consumptive
persons is that of the diminished
wage-earning capacity Of those who
suffer from the disease during many
years. Not only a majority of tubercu-
losis patients support themselves dur
ing the long struggle against progress
sive inroads Of infection, but in many
instances the care Of others Is also q
burden on them. When the semi-in-
valid Is forced to seek different eli
mate in the hope Of cure, he finds him.
self, even when that hope Is to a de-
gree realized, brought into competition
with more robust personalities that
demand no favoritism in the struggle
for a livelihood. Sometimes the con-
sumptive secures work by accepting
wages lower than the prevailing scale:
thus he becomes at once a disturbing
factor in the labor market. The es-
Enlistment and maintenance Of sana-
forum settlements where consump-
tives may become self-supOrting in
whole or in part without coming into
competition with other labor, may
prove a partial solution of the Difficult
ty. 1t may be commended to philan-
thropists as charity measure that is
practically free from the objection nf
"pauperizing" the recipients Of the aid
given.-American Medicine.

National EflicleuCy.

Modern banking in its principles and
essential practice is Of British origin,
other nations having borrowed our
methods. Again, we were the pioneers
of railway construction. Indeed, we
built for other communities a very
considerable proportion of their rail-
ways. Lastly, we took the lead in
substituting iron and steel for wood
in naval construction. But during the
past 20 years we have ceased to dis
play our old initiative and foresight.
In the adaptation Of electricity to the
arts we are woefully behind not only
the United States. but many continent
tai countries-notably Germany and
France. Furthermore. we are greatly
behind almost every other state in the
manufacture of telephones. We are
beaten not merely by the great COM
munities. but by such small nations
as Belgium and Sweden. Our failure in
these two respects is, no doubt, attrib-
utable to some extent to our patent
laws and their bad administration, and
likewise to Mr.. Chamberlain's unwise
Decentralization Statist.

Where Rennet 10 Obtained.

-Rennet is obtain from the fourth
stomach Of the calf that has not yet
ceased to live upon milk. 1t should
be slaughtered after 1t has had full
meal and the fourth stomach carefully
taken out. The stomach should be
turned inside out and any particles Of
foreign matter carefully picked off. 1t
should then be sprinkled with salt and
stretched SO that it will dry readily.
In preparing the extract the rennet
skins are soaked in warm water to
which little salt has been added until
the active principle has been removed.
The resulting extract is filtered and a
preventative in the form Of salt and
saltpeter added. If kept in cool place
rennet so prepared will remain pure
for some time.

The Enterprislng Cow.


The ehterprising COW is the one that
always wishes to be somewhere be-
sides where she Is. If she is in clover,
she is greatly impressed with the straw
stack just over the fence; she longs
to burrOw in 1t, to climb it, and jump
Off it, and the intervening wires and
rails she usually treats with great
contempt. She Is nuisance, and may
be an expense, as she Is likely to
spread the plague of discomfort
throughout the whole herd. Fences
should be stock proof under all cir
cumstances, but financial conditions
sometimes prevent our keeping them
In the best order, and in such cases it
is wise to get rid Of the enterprising
COW. If it requires the time Of tho
hired man to keep the herd out of the
grain field, her effective lessons will
soon tear tie profits to tatters.
1t is economy to have good fences If
we can possibly build them. On the
Epitomist Experimental farm We had
much trouble at first in this direction.
We had one of those businesSlike COWS
that liked 10 push her nose through
the broken rails, then lay down the
gap with her horns, SO that the herd
might have change Of pasture. But
we now have long stretches of woven
wire fastened to cedar pests. painted

A Sunny Presence.

If you had asked her about her nc.
accomplishments she would have told you
that she had none, and would have
been quite sincere in her answer. She
did not know how to play piano and
had never tried her hand at water
colors or crayon sketching. She had
never found time for embroidery. She
got off the key when she tried to sing.
In fact, one might run through the list
Of what are called accomplishments,
without naming one at which she was
an expert. Yet this sunny faced, sweet
voiced girl had one accomplishment
which Outweighed all those she lacked.
Wherever she went gloomy faces grew
cheerful. She was happiness maker.
Children stopped fretting when she
came near. Old people came back
from their dreams Of the past and
found the present sweet. Without be-
ing wise or witty or beautiful. there
was an atmosphere Of peace about her
like the fragrance Of flower. Her
smile had the comforting warmth of
sunshine. The tones Of her glad young
voice stirred the heart like song

If one is going into swine breeding
for q continuous industry. he can then
we'll afford to start out with the best
bred animals he can afford, and by an
intelligent system Of selection and
breeding, he will in time grade up his
flock to standard Of excellence WHICH
his neighbor cannot equal except at
great cost. When a man starts in
each year or two to purchase new
breeds and high-bred swine, it Is n
costly experience. and he hardly reaps
much reward from it. There is quite
a difference, however when he deliber-
ately adds each year little new blood
to his stock, increasing the quality as
well as the quantity. The outlay is
thus small each season for pure-bred
animals, and the returns correspond
ingly good.
