Jaya's botanical Gardens,

"The one great sight in BuitenZorg
and the most famous thing in Java are
the botanical gardens, the finest in the
world" says Il correspondent of the
Kansas City Star.
"The gardens were started in 1917
by the celebrated botanist Reinwardt
and are still being constantly enlarged
and improved. Trees, ferns, shrubs,
plants and flowers have been gathered
together from all over the world and
arranged with marvellous skill and
taste. Every plant, tree and vine in
the garden is plainly labeled. There
are great laboratories and workshops.
though no hothouses are needed. 1t is,
in fact, combination of the work of
nature and of man carried to a point
of perfection beyond which the imagi-
nation fails to carry one. The magnif-
icent trees, the wonderful vines, the
superb palms, the graceful ferns, the
giant water flowers, the beautiful flow
ering shrubs and the curious orchids
arouse an ever increasing interest, and
for one whole morning we wandered
about from one scene of beauty to an
other until at last we emerged by a
grand avenue of canary trees covered
with giant creepers, some specimens of
one variety bearing 5000 blossoms at
one time, and returned regretfully to
our hotel"

The Helm He Wanted.

Tim and Clancy were walking through
the wlds of New Jersey, bound for
New York, when Tim spied wildcat
crouched in the branches of a tree
near the road. Clutching his compan-

to the beast. he said
"Clancy, do yez see thot foine NAL

Clancy did as he was told, and Tim
went up and shook and shook till the
cat did absolutely tumble. Clancy
grabbed her. When there came a mo-
ments lull in the cyclone of fur and
Clancy and dust and grass, the won
dering Tim, looking ON from above,
called down:
"Shall Oi come dune, Clancy, an

The Angora Goat.

The Prairie Farmer says that the An
CORA goat does not mature as fast as
the sheep, but lives to greater age 1t
is browsing animal, getting its living
from bushes, twigs, leaves and the bark
of trees, with preference for weeds
over pasture grasses, and, while the
meat of the sheep is preferred to that
of goat, the latter is rapidly growing
in favor. But we learn from other pa
pers that to get large fleece and fat
carcass from the goat it is necessary
to finish it off with about as good
food as would be required by the sheep.
We think it is with the goat as with
the pigs of the man who bought a lot
to root up the sward in his orchard, and
that they might do so he thought he
must feed them scantily. After a time
he made complaint to a neignbor that
they did not fatten as he expected
them. WELL" said the neighbor, you
needn't think they are going to do so
cents worth of work ON % cents worth
of feed and get fat at it."

Although in the Uaited States it is
generally understood that the Grown"
or seed end eyes, are the best, yet
there has been controversy in Eng
land upon the subject of seed, some
claiming for number of years that
the stem end only should be planted
and that these furnished a larger and
consequently better potato. | think
l can explain this difference of opinion
readily, although | have but little eX-
perience in raising them. 1t is well
known that the eyes on the seed end
are much more numerous than on the
stem end. 1t has been the custom gen
orally until recently and is still the
custom except by few to cut off the
seed end and to put two or even three
of these pieces to each hill. This, of
course gives n large number of stalks
to each hill, while the stem end, having
not half as many eyes, has only had
two or three pieces to the hill, the
stalks, of course, being equally less in
number. And now of late years Il few
persons have found out that the hill of
potatoes with only two or three stalks
gives larger and consequently bet
ter potato than the hills having many
stalks. Therefore the stem end men
have got the largest and best potatoes
because they have less stalks in the
hills, as they have less eyes. 1t is
claimed Of late years by those who
have tested it that large potatoes only
should be selected for seed and that
only one eye should be kept on each
piece and only two pieces for hill if
you want large, marketable potatoes.
You always find your largest potatoes
when there is only one large vine One
great secret in potato cultivation is not
to have too many eyes in one piece and
cut large ones for seed.-W. Z. Elder in
National Stockman.

The Science of MIX Pnddings.

The largest amount of farinaceous
grains and powders to be used to one
quart of milk equals two ounces.
If too large Il proportion is used, the
starch grains have not room to swell
Powders such as cornstarch and
ground rice must be mixed to thin
paste before adding the milk.
Powders and small grains, such as
semolina and small sago, are boiled till
clear in the milk before putting in the
baking dish.
Farinaceous pudding must be cooked
slowly, so that the starch grains will
have time to swell and thus thicken the
milk better.
Large grains, such as rice, are best
cooked without the addition of eggs.
Small grains, such as semolina, and
powders are improved by adding eggs.
Eggs must not be added till the grains
have been boiled in the milk; also not
till the mixture has cooled or the eggs
will curdle.
The surface should only be lightly
Drowned and the use of nutmeg be
sparing.
Skimmilk may be used if little
piece of butter or dripping is put in
with the milk to replace the cream or
fat of milk which has been removed.
If you do not wish the pudding to boil
while in the oven, stand the dish in
baking pan containing water.
A tiny pinch of bicarbonate of soda
will often prevent the milk from cur
ding in the puddings in hot weather

HINTS FOR FARMERS
rarmern' Vegetable Gardens.

In paper prepared and read before
the Horticultural Society of Northern
Illinois by Mrs. Carrie Swigert she
says that a good garden is usually
evidence Of good farmer. An inclo-
sure Of given quantity of ground is
by no means a garden, any more than
a dwelling house is home. From
business standpoint, how can the farm
er's garden be made profitable? she
asks. In the first place, she answers,
by reducing the grocery bill. The cost
of living on the farm depends largely
upon the proportion of the articles con-
sumed that are produced at home. The
ordinary farm supplies the family with
flour, meat and dairy products. These
are the necessities of life, and if the
housekeeper has no other place from
which to draw she will find it very
difficult to supply her table with
pleasing variety of wholesome dishes
during the whole year. Either the
farmers living will have to be mar
rowed down to an unhealthful monot-
ony or else there will be a great void
in the bill of fare that must be filled
from some other source. This void
may be and very often is filled from
the grocery, but money is not always
plenty or there is no time to spare to
go to market as often as things are
needed for the table. We do not enjoy
taking out our purse and emptying
out part of it On the grocers counter
every time we go to town. The result
is we are tempted all the time to
scrimp, and the housekeeper is COM
PEELED to Go without much she would
gladly have. But there is way to re-
duce these grocery bills and at the
same time increase the comforts of our
homes, and this is by providing a first
class garden on the farm, which will
furnish an agreeable variety for every
day in the year.

Some editors not only advise the
preachers what to preach, the politi-
clans what to advocate, but fill their
papers with advice to the farmers as to
what to plant, how to plant it, work it
and gather it. 1t is all very well to at
tempt the first two, for as molders of
public opinion it is part of the bust
ness of a newspaper to do these things,
but when man who has never seen a
watermelon until it has arrived in town
or who wouldn't know a scooter from
a turn plow attempts to tell man who
when kid was rocked in an oat era
die, put to sleep in cotton basket and
whipped with n hamestring what to do
it is carrying things a little too far.
One good thing about it is the farmer
does not take his advice.-LaureI

safety. Then the grizzled captain, old
in Indian wars, stepped out calmly.
STEADY, my men. They'll never hit
us like that twice. They don't know

McRafferty's voice led the answering

through tangled underbrush and a

At last Bones sank down exhausted

and down the hill at the stragglers.

flute, he pieced it together and put
it to his lips. Standing erect, his fair
capess head cleaning in the sun, his
blue eyes glared at the flag on the
ridge while Yankee Doodle" rang out
bravely above the noise of musketry.
From below came a great shout, and
hundreds of bluecoats came on with
run. Bones advanced with them, head
well back triumph in his air.
There was rush past him. The red
and yellow flag fell at last. Bones
threw up his arm. with cheer. Some
thing, the last shot of retreating
foe. struck him in the chest. He fell,
grasping his flute.
There was a crowd about him, and
his head was in the chaplain's lap.
Bones looked up.

Bones tried to straighten up. 81

Various explanations have been CIV
en- of the origin of the term grey
hound, some authors claiming that the
prefix grey is taken from Graius,
meaning Greek; others that it signifies
great, while still others say that it
has reference to the color of the ami
NAL. In no other breed of hounds is
the blue or gray color so prevalent,
and consequently the last mentioned
derivation seems the most plausible.
