used it and never would, and it was a

Rawson had started of painting glass

Booker Washin atoms Story.

Booker T. Washington told a story
in the dialect of his race a few days
ago at Cheney Industrial School for
Negroes which will probably be re.
membered longer than the more seri.
Gus part of his discourse. Mr.. Wash.
fngton said that short time ago he
was called upon to address the mem
bers of a negro church in Alabama
which was having troubles with its
finances. The pastor had not been
paid in a year, and the running ex-
penses of the church had not been
betrayed. The negro educator told
the members of the congregation Of
their duty to the church and its pas
tor and expostulated with them on
their unchristian.like conduct. All
the time he was talking an aged
negro in the rear of the church vas
shaking his head and saying: Amt
gwine to pay no mo- money" When
he had repeated this several times
Mr.. Washington asked the brother
to explain why he refused to help
pay the pastors salary, ana the old
darley replied: "He preached dem
same sermons last year and de year

Scientific Farming.

The recent discussions in the Aus
trlan papers on the subject of Indirect
medication have been followed by vari-
Gus articles in the French papers. The
al-bacteriological station Of
Vienna is continuing its experiments
with the cultivation of vegetables, in
creasing by artificial means the proper
tion of salts Of iron contained in them.
The idea is by no means new, as in
1919 DR.. Miraud wrote book showing
that the therapeutical virtues of vari-
Gus vegetables might be increased if
alimented with certain substances con-
tanning medicinal properties. In 1860
DR.. Champouilon communicated to the
French Academy of Sciences the re-
suits of his experiments with the
strawberry plant and the vine which
had been watered with nitrate and
carbonate of potash. DR.. Champouillon
mentions two cases OF dropsy which

Muck soils, when properly drained,
are of great value, and many lands
which have lain idle for generations
can be reclaimed to great and lasting
fertility. Experience, or the use Of en-
perience of others, is, however, neces-
sary in their draining. Such soils settle
rapidly when drying, and if tile is used
it must be laid at considerable depth.
Most of such soils are underlaid with
sand or gravel. In such cases holes or
wells can be sunk at intervals down
to this sand and the tile lines run or
emptied into them. This is sometimes
much easier than the digging of deep
open bitches into which to run the
tiles.--American Cultivator.

Just before good pasture we find it

Thrifty Tomato Plants.

This is how l raised 1900 tomato
plants after March 10: planted part
of them in hotbed ten feet long and
two and one-half feet wide, in rows
about three inches apart. This gave
room TO cultivate them. I sowed the
seed thickly in trenches one inch deep
and covered with soil. When the plants
came up thinned to about 100 to the
row. planted the other bed the same
way, but this bed was in the plain soil
and was five feet wide and nearly
twelve feet long. This allowed me to
cultivate from both sides. When the
plants were a week old l carefully
loosened the soil between the rows
with table fork, but did not disturb
the plants. did this twice week
till they were large enough to set out.
When they were ten days old | sprayed
them with a gallon of liquid manure
to pail of water. If the manure is
used stronger it will iniure the plants.
But how they did grow treated this
way. When about six inches high
transplanted TO another bed. giving
them more room. This should be done
about twice before they are ready to
place in the field. This was the Goth
of May here, and the plants had stalks
as large as lead pencil and were
ten TO twelve inches high. | kept up
the cultivating and spraying all the
way through. Perhaps all do not know
how to get the liquid manure. Bore the
bottom of barrel full of holes; place
it on blocks in a slant; fill in little
straw, then stable manure to at least
two-thrds full. Place boards under
ueath to run off the liquid; then pour
on two pals of water. 1t will run
through i'll an hour or two. Then pour
on water enough each day to keep the
supply of liquid just as your needs
are. This liquid is just as good for
other plants.-Phoebe Journey, in The

The radish is one of the early season
garden crops, quick growing and
hardly. For best development it re-
quires rather cool weather, and to
grow tender radishes it is necessary to
have a continuous growth from begin
ming to end.
AS soon rs the ground can be worked
in spring sow large, heavy seed. The
ssoil should be clean, rich garden soil.
1t is advisable to SOW a new crop every
ten days, to keep up a continuous sup
ply. In about four to six weeks after
planting the radishes will be ready for
table use.
The rows should be from six inches
to foot apart, and the seed covered
about half an inch in depth. Drop two
or three seed every inch in the row. 1t
will require about an ounce of seed for
100 feet Of row; eight to ten pounds for
an acre.
When grown in hot weather radishes
are apt to he stringy and tough.
Winter radishes are planted the lat
ter part of July or the first of August.
and are grown the same as turnips.
Being firm and tender they keep well
over winter if stored in pits Or a dry
cellar.
The most popular market radish is
the French Breakfast, Scarlet Short
Top, Charter and Wood Early Frame.

The Cornell University Experiment
Station in bulletin 225, just published.
gives most interesting facts about this
dreaded animal disease, its cause and
how it is spread. 1t says that the
disease is caused by micro-organism,
the bacillus tuberculosis, which are
only visible under the microscope. The
bacilli are often found IN tuberculous
cattle and people, and differ very little
in appearance and belong to the same
species. The bacilli escape from dis.
eased animals, in the saliva and mucus
from the mouth, also from the pus from
tubercular assesses that open through
the skin. and in the milk of the cow.
Some COWS show fifteen per cent. Of
them in their milk.
The infection and spread Of the dis.
ease among animals is largely through
the digestive tract. and by inhaling
particles of dirt or dust carrying bacilli,
or by getting them into wounds of the
skin. The latter is possible, but not
common. Healthy cattle 'nosing" with
infected ones, or feeding and drinking
after them is the most usual way of in
fection. The infection of calves by
feeding them milk from tuberculous
cows is a frequent means of spreading
the disease. This upon calves is slow
and sometimes does not show the dis.
ease for years. This is ona Of the very
important ways that the disease is
spread among breeding herds.
The disease is often found in swine
fed upon milk from infected cows.
Last year the United States meat in
spectors condemned about 10000 hogs
for tuberculosis. The same result may
follow when milk from infected cows is
fed to children or adults. Practically
the only way tuberculosis gets into a
herd of cattle is by the introduction of
tuberculosis animal. The disease is
Of very slow progress in developing.
If often requires years for it to destroy
its victim. The germs pass into the
blood or lymph and are carried to other
parts of the body, where each germ
starts a new tubercle. The tuberculin
test is by far the most reliable way
to determine whether animals have
any trace of the disease. There have
been many unjust things said about
tuberculin and many cattle owners
have come to fear that it is danger
Gus agent to use. 1t has been found,
however, that tuberculin is as harm
less as need be to the health of the
animal. The dangers that are supposed
to come from it are the results of poor
tubercuiin, unclean instruments, or
other avoidable causes. The tuber.
culin is prepared fluid. If the ami.
NAL is sound when tuberculln is in
jected no reaction is observed. If, how,
ever, the animal contains the active
tubercle there is reaction which
shows itself in rise of temperature
beginning for from eight to sixteen
hours after the injection and continuing
for from six to ten holrs and possibly
longe-.

modern plumbing and modern heating.
and with the advent of acetylene gas,
he has modern lighting. At night his
home is as attractively illuminated as
that of his city brother, for it is sug-
gestive fact that "acetylene for coun-
try homes" has so appealed to the farm.

lene gas in the United States the farm
er is one Of the largest of all classes.

May we speak again of watering the
poultry? This is generally the weak
point in the poultry yard. Bad water
is wonderful vehicle for carrying dis
ease. Provide clan water and keep
the drinking vessels clean. Have all
arranged so that the young chicks can
not get into the water. A shallow YES
sci filled with large gravel and then
with water as mentioned in a previous

place for young chicks, but both gravel
and vessel should be cleaned every day
