 For m exhibition of the prosecution of rural standardization in systematic and complete manner we must look to the large areas Of arid land which the Recla- nation Service Is rapidly converting Into productive soil. These tracts. exceeding in several Instances 3O.UOD acres. are laid out in holdings of % and sO acres. Town sites have been located at distances that bring every farm within three miles Il most of one Of them.
 It Is proposed that the towns. which will contain populations of from 1000 to 5000, shall have all the conveniences of the modern urban center.

The Idea Is reversion to conditions which once obtained in this country and which exist today in the Orient and In Europe where the village is the focal point of the surrounding agrI- cultural district.
 When Coronado and his adventurous followers broke upon the peaceful people of Mexico, they found the Pueblo Indians living. ns their naIns implies, in perIaa- nent villages. The houses were gsouped around central fortified point. The farms formed ap outer circle. radiated by roads and irrigation ditches.

 At much later period the Mormon set tiers in Utah adopted a similar system of

 In still more recent times the Idea of rural centrnlization has been carried to practical perfection at several points ip the orange districts of California. and these settlements have furnished the Re elamation Service with the models for Its town site plans. The happy blending in these communities of the characteristics of town and coCntry led former Secretary Gates to declare that their people more nearly approach to the ideal of home life than any to be found elsewhere in America.

 But the most Important phase of the rural eentralizatfon movement Is yet to be mentioned. II Is the purely social feature. which is calculated to have the most extensive effect. not only upon our agricultural sections but. indirectly. also upon our eongested cites. in general. country life in our Western States is characterized by the most deadly com mouplaee. The farmer is narrow and self-centered. He Is without the world. cut on from the influences that expand the mind and develop the social Quali- ties. His solitary life Is toilsome- monot- onous and almost devoid of relaxation. IL is a dreary existence. recent mitigat- ing factors notwithstanding.

That thls conclusion Is correct seems evident from the ascertniued fact that the coun- try lads to whom me towns are most accessible are those least proue to desert the farm.
 The system ns inagurated by the Rec lamatton Service will undoubtedly be fol- lowed in the occupation of new districts In our Western States and H may he ex- pected to influence the reformation of older settlements.

 Fortunately, there has been noticeable since the beginning of the present cen tury q decided check in the tendency of our rural popula ton to gravttate towards the urban centers. This Is due to a num- Der of factors working improvement fin the conditions of life and labor in our farm ing districts and their effects are marked by ap increase of forty per cent in the value of farm land in America since 1900.

The Glory Of EARLY spring.

Deciduous towering shrubs are the
glory of our grounds in early spring.
And, too, they are the distinguishing
feature between our own and the
grounds of Europe. There are in Eng
land, for instance. far too many broad
Ieaved shrubs and too few deciduous
ones, and one misses there the delight
which the weasth OF flowers on our
shrubs creates, especially in early
spring. A dozen or two OF sorts which
are well known are the following
Flowering Almond, Sweet Shrub.

zias, Pearl Bush, Golden Bell, Althae-

Watering House Plants.

More mistakes are made in watering
plants than in any other part of their
culture. Most beginners water plants
too much or too often. Some house
keepers water their plants regularly
every day and wonder how the plants
do not do well since they give them 50
much attention. The trouble is that
the plants get too much attention; If
they were forgotten once in awhile in
the matter Of water, they would do
better.
Plants should not be watered until
they show by the drying of the soil
that they need it. When they are wa
tered, they should not receive little
dribble, but should be thoroughly soak
ed until the water drips from the hole
In the bottom of the pot. This insures
all the roots being thoroughly wet.
Roots need fresh air as well as water,
and in thoroughly soaking the soil in a
pot the yitiated air is forced away
from the roots, and fresh air takes its
place as the soil dries out.
The bad result from too frequent wa
tering is that the soil never gets suffi-
GENTLY dried to admit air to the roots.
A good test of when plant needs wa
tering is to rap on the pot with the
knuckles. If the pot gives hollow
sound, the plant may be watered, but
if the sound is dull and heavy no wa
ter is required Professor w. N. HUT.

4 Pointer FOR Pigeon breeders.

Those who grow for the fancy and
the exhibition hall always divide the
males and the females into separate
rooms during the winter months. This
is thought to strengthen them and i'm
prove their health and producing quail
tiles. However, this is not the best
for squad breeders, as they should be
continually mated and kept together as
long as they are constant one to the
other. Whenever they grow tired, one
of the other, they will drift apart and
select other natings If the opportunity
presents itself.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1907-03-28

although most breeders have reversed
this, crossing the Black Minorca with
the White LeghoIn BY the latter plan
it is certain that better established
blood lines and breed characteristics
are obtained The Ancona is a mot
fled fowl of larger size than the Leg
horn. It is a yeritable egg machine
and should be more popular than it is.
In the early days of the breed the col
oring was anything but uniform, but
now this fowl has been line bred to
such an extent that its feather char
acteristics are as well defined as those
of many breeds which are much older.

The Beautiful Ancn.la

For some unexplained reason the
Ancona with the exceptions of the
White Faced Black Spanish and the
Blue Andalusian) is the least popular
of the family of fowls known as the
AIediterraneans. There has been a
good deal of discussion as to the origin
of the Ancona, but it is generally con-
ceded now that the best of the breed
have been made by crosses between
White Minorcas and Black Leghorns,
