"IEST WE FORGET"

When the msts lie low and the sants up.
And the east Is an aureate lip;
When the road lies free to the morning cup,
And the air has frosty nip;
When the seed champs foam with its nostrs wde
For the masters mettle rife,
And gay song fits to the strong. long stride
There still some things in life!
When the pool lies still. or the current slides
Like oil round the far flung line;
When the tarpon deep in the blackness glides
And nibbles the live-bait mine;
When the reel says crrrrk and the wrist feels jar
And the first leap marks the strife
As the play begins and the foam fiies-Ah!
There still things In life.
When the great shifts by the waters edge,
And starts with angry snort;
When the hunter crawls through the rustling sedge
And the heart beats thick and short;
When the finger crooks on the triggers curve;
When the eye cuts like Il knife
And the rife cracks with vicious verve-
There still things In life,
When the dinners DER and the pipe burns free,
And the dog curls by the chair;
When your trail is good Gas Ii ought to bel
And the light glints Her hair;
When the drowsy thoughts of the past come back
And you SMILE That's she-the wife,"
When you're quite prepared for the morrows track
There's lot of good in life

Whether for hay or pasture, the land
should be deeply plowed and we'll har-

on a grass plot
The main point in growing a grass
crop is to get an even and uniform
stand at the beginning. for any gain at
the start will be of advantage at later
periods of growth. While mixed grass
es should be preferred on n pasture
field, it is better to grow hay crops
singly-unmixed- mixing of the
foods to be done at the barn when feed

grass crops. 1t is better for the farmer
not to depend upon single kind of hay
crop, as the prolonged drought may
destroy it. Instead of growing clover
and timothy only, Hungarian grass and
fodder corn, which can, if necessary. be
seeded late and moved at any stage Of
growth, according to circumstances.
With due regard to the fertility of
the soil, it is conceded that large
yield depends upon the supply of moist
ure, for which reason the rule with
farmers to get their crops as far ahead
as possible before the dry weather sets
In. Sometimes a single shower at
time when the ground is dry is worth
more than a prolonged period. of rain

BEHIND IN HUMANE WORK.
Berlin Affords n Fine Model I'm Up
to-Date Ambulance Service.

Berlin Affords a Fine Model I'm Up
tO-Date Ambulance Service.
Ambulance service in this country is
poor, chiefly because the need for it
does not appeal personally to the aver
age citizen, and there is no general de-
mand upon officials for its betterment,
says Leslie's Weekly. What has been
done has been accomplished through
the efforts of physicians and humanely
inclined persons of wealth and public
spirit. A good example to pattern
after is that of Berlin. A private or.
ganization, the Rescue Society, made
up largely of surgeons, looks after
emergency cases, and does it well. II
is considered an honor to be a member
of the society, and only surgeons who
have practiced number of years arc
eligible. Each member takes his turn
riding the ambulance, for which he gets
no pay. This does away with the rep
rehensible American practice of in
ternes, and others seeking experience
practicing upon street victims
The Rescue society has nine emerg.
ency stations, fitted with all the facili.
ties of a fire-engine house for getting
out quickly. These Rescue society am.
balances are co-operated with by al
least one ambulance from each of the
sixteen large hospitals. Several times
each day the director Of the ambulance
service Is notified how many empty
beds there are at each reception hos
pital, thus preventing the complication
that frequently arises in this country
Of dying man being taken to hos
pital only to find that there is no place
for him. They also have test runs in
Berlin. At the pleasure of the director
any or all the ambulances are called
out Unexpectedly, their time noted, and
their condition inspected. Berlin is the
only city where this practice prevails
A well-maintained ambulance service
increases the demand for attention
from the really needy. Berlin, virtu-
ally the same size as Chicago, responds
TO four times as many calls. ST Louis
half as large, has more calls by several
thousands than Chicago, owing to the
better service and the familiarity OF
the citizens with it.
Persons in city streets are thrilled
by the changing of the ambulance gong
and fascinated when the horses gallon
by. A feeling of horror is oftentimes
followed by one of some comfort at the
thought that, in case of accident to
himself, one speedily would be taken
care Of. In majority Of Instances this
feeling Of comfort is not justified. II
you don't believe it, watch some one try
to get an ambulance In a hurry.

Peter ID. Fedick, a landscape gar
iener, florist and nurseryman, has
started a series of experiments In veg
etable growths in the Imperial valley
which seems likely to prove valuable.
Says the Los Angeles Times.
At Brawley one of Fedick's achieve
ments is the growing OF cantaloupe
vines under muslin canopies so that
they will have two or three weeks adj
vantage over the plants grown in tie
ordinary way. These cantaloupes are
on a six-acre tract directly adjoining
the town of Brawley on the north.
The cantaloupes are planted in the
Usual manner, SO far as killing and
spacing are concerned, but over each
bill there is stretched a canopy OF
white muslin about the size of a mans
pocket handkerchief. Two archsd wires
are used, crossed over the melon hill
somewhat like the center wicket In .
croquet ground. The ends of these
wires are sewed to the corners Of the
muslin squares and the wires are then
thrust firmly into the ground so as to
secure the car opics and prevent the
wind blowing them away. Mr. Fedick
estimates that these protectors will cost
complete about s cents each.
The melons have responded to the
genial warmth thus engendered and the
protection from the winds and frost
The plants are now on an average OF
two inches high and look strong and
thrifty. II the plan proves all that h
hoped for it next year ii will be tried
on a large scale on the Fedick ranch
near HoltviIle. At the B-awley expert
mental gardens there are six acres II
melons, and of these $40 hills have ben
covered with the canOnies

Dry Farming.

There has been great progress made
In dry farming" during the last year !;
that is, a great deal more land is
now being cultivated by the dry farm
ing method than a year ago. AS
showing the advance Of the work In
Colorado, the Denver Post gives the
following:
Total number acres dry farm
ed" RI Colorado 300, 900
Total number acres dry farm
ed In Eastern Colorado :. .2OO,O
Increase over last year for the
State 100000
This, as will be seen, shows that
the increase In the acreage under dry
farming during the year in Colorado
is so per cent. We quote the above
to show what is being done in the semi
arid sections of other States In order
that those who live in the semiarid
sections Of Texas, New Mexico and
other parts Of the Southwest may be
encouraged to take up the work, for
that which can be done in Colorado
can be accomplished in other sections.
1t therefore behOOves farmers who Live
in parts Of the country where the rain
fall is light to test patiently and care
fully the dry farming" method In or
der that they may profit by it and en-
courage others to 90 sO.-Galyeston
