IMPROVEMENT
FARM NOTES.

Any farmer can make his farm q
model with time, planning and work
Getting along with anything that
will do is not making the most Of con
ditions.
With corn, rs with animals, do not
forever be mixing and crossing breeds.
BY fertilization, cultivation and &C.
lection, try to improve the breed, and
seed corn to sell.
1t is best to manure corn ground in
the winter and pillow or disk it under
In the spring.
Every beekeeper needs one or more
books on bee culture, dealing with the
keeping OF bees.
Farmers in general now are build
ing in a more substantial way. The
use of concrete is responsible for Q
part of it,
New corn as part ration is good
for horses doing fall work, and 1t IL
excellent for fattening beef cattle.
Corn should not be planted on sod

the first time until late in the season

ton looks substantial. and 1t is so

AS soon as the corn plants are tall
enough so the driver can see the rows
go into the field with a disk cultivatoI
and disk the ground twice,
On hard and shallow soil white
clover does hot ordinarily last more
than two years, but on the richer and
moister lands 1t will grow for many
years without reseeding.
Many farmers are so intent on ma.
king money for the moneys sake that
they take no thought of the great pos
sibilities of perfect living in the coun'
try.
Alfalfa is so unlike any other forage
crop that 1t requires method Of curing
altogether different from that used III
curing timothy, clover or any other
meadow grasses.
A prolific queen bee will during her
life lay 100000 eggs, each one-four
teenth of an inch long. Put together
they would make a chain 1874 miles
long.
Bees are worth all the trouble they
require to fertilize the stigmas of the
flowers in your orchard The yield
of honey is clear profit.
The great farm cry now is, not more
land, but more fertile land. And the
only solution in successful future farm
ing is in the increased fertility of the
soil. 1t must be made more fertile;
future human food supply depends
upon It.

ROADS NEEDED BY FARMERS
Those Leading From Farm to Rail
road Station and to School House
Most Essential.
tBy HOWARD H. GRossl

We are constantly seeing exploited
in the newspapers schemes of road.

rather than favored. One wildly ex.
travagant enthusiast urged the build.
ing Of a boulevard 200 feet wide from
New York to San Francisco; another
great macadamized highway, con.
Meeting all the state capitals. In Iowa
at this writing there is a great deal
OF enthusiasm over a road from river

road, but earth roads improved as
much as may be by dragging A Lin.
coin memorial road has been proposed
from Chicago to Springfield. The
above are not the highways that the
people need or The roads that should
be built Why should we tax our.
selves to build a speedway from the
Atlantic to the Pacific? Or who would
want to travel from state capital to
state capital over a highway? The
roads that are needed. and the ones
that we should address our efforts
to get are those that lead from the
railway station to the farm home, over
which the food products of the world
pass to reach the market, the doctor
to relieve the suffering. the children
to 90 to school. These will in due
course be connected up and give us
a network of good roads throughout
the land. These roads will increase
property values, make country life
better worth the living, add to our
joys and diminish our sorrows. and
help to make the farm home so at
tractive the boy and the girl will not
be eager to leave IT, II will make the
township central school possible.
whereby the boys and the girls can
get high school education and live
at home. These considerations are
fundamental and far-reaching, and
well worthy our effort. The writer
has no objection to automobiles nor
does he question their right to Fuse
the highways; but the larger interest
of the whole people is not best served
by building speedways for joy rides.

duced. From the stems and leaves
the fungus spreads to the pods, and
as many are rendered unsightly con.
siderable direct LOGS is occasioned.
The presence OF the fungus is often
unnoticed until It appears upon the
young pods. On these 1t produces
small brown or rusty spots, which en-
large and darken until they become
nearly black. The affected tissues Of
the pod dry. leaving sunken areas, in
the centers of which may be seen
small pink spots, masses Of spores
which rapidly spread the disease
from plant to plant.
The spores by which the fungus Is
spread from plant to plant are very
sticky when wet and are readily
transferred on the hands, clothing or
implements. On this account beans
should never be cultivated or gath
cred while wet with dew or rain. II
Il is too much trouble to observe
these precautions for the whole crop
It could be done with little extra effort
for a small plat on which to grow seed
for future planting.
II the following recommendations
are observed but little loss will result
from anthracnose:
1. Plant seed free from disease.
2. Keep away from the plants while
they are wet.
8. Remove and burn diseased
plants as soon as they are observed.

TO TRAIN CRIPPLED CHILDREN
Bodily Defects Sometimes Entirely
Cured by Physical Exercises
Directed by Teacher.

Corrective physical training for
crippled children is Of great import
ance, as bodily defects can be partly
and sometimes entirely cured by spe
cial physical exercises under the d.
rection of a trained teacher.
Twenty-three such classes for Grip
pied children, with an enrolment Of
over $50 children, were carried on
free of charge in New York last year
by the Peoples University Extension
society Of No. 105 East Seventeenth
street.
Ninety-six free classes in annual and
domestic training we're given to an
enrolment of about nine hundred Grip
pied children by the same society, be-
sides "a free classes for mentally de-
fective children.
The manual work taught included
basketry, bookbinding. chair Gaming,
economic cooking. dressmaking, ele-
mentary carpentry, embroidery. cord
work, sewing. shirtwaist making and
weaving. One badly crippled boy Of
ten learned chair Gaming so quickly
that he soon hung out a sign for
chairs to cane.
One of the largest departments Of
the work Of this society is supplying
free lectures by physicians to meet
ings Of tenement mothers, giving
them simple practical advice about
the care Of children and prevention of
contagious and other disease. More
than $1,000 mothers we're given such
instruction last year in English, Ital-
ian, German and Yiddish.

UNIQUE GAME OF SALMAGUNDl
Differs From Other Progressive
Games In That Different One Is
Played at Each Table.

OF all progressive games none is
more popular than this. AS in all
others, a small table is provided for
every four players. but Salmagundi is
distinguished from other games in
that a different game is played at
each table.
Games of cards may be chosen, II
preferred, such as hearts, euchre, tive
hundred, sniff, etc., or such games as
dominos, jack straws, lotto, helma,
pit, fish-poles. The rules for playing
these are supplied with the game
when purchased. There is no rule
against such games as "P tent Medi'
cines." "Menagerie," ETC., which GER
tainly contribute to a merry uproar.
The winners progress at sound Of
the signal given at the head table,
and play a new game. The losers
keep their places and must play the
same game over again.
The introduction of variety adds to
the pleasure, and as there is change
OF partners at each progression"
everybody meets everybody else.
When every couple has made the
round of the tables and played all
the games, the prizes are awarded
and refreshments served.

teachers for the High school will be

Tents Are Struck at Four
O'clock Today.
.OUTIhG A COMPLETE SUCCESS
Children Have Enjoyed
Every Minute.
To Addison Balm Belongs the Credit
For One of the Most Successful
Outings Ever Given TO the Chill
dren of the City.

This was the last day in camp for
the little folks who have been enjoy
ing a weeks outing in Lincoln park
in the camp which was planned and
| executed by Park superintendent Ad-
olson Balm. This evening at four
o'clock tents were struck and the lit
| tie folks started for home. sorry to
leave the scene of such great festiv-
tiles, but withall glad once more to
be under the parental roof. Camp was
broken after the youngsters had had
a fine time but just when they were
aching for more, and 1t is safe to say
that every child will await anxiously
the time for the establishment of the
camp of 1911.
Not an accident of any kind has
week. Not a child had been sick or
unable to answer the mess call The
entire week, with the exception Of
Sunday, has been gwen over to hav-
ing a good time. That they had 1t
Is not doubted by any person who
has visited the camp atsany time dur
Ing the week and IL anyone who was
not there doubts 1t, let him ask any
of the little folks who participated
The last day in camp was given
over to sports of all kinds and of an
informal nature. There was no pro-
gram for the day, but not a moment
was lost because of this. From early
morning until the time for the home
going every one was as busy as a
mailer.
The idea of establishing q camp
was conceived by Mr.. Balm and with
the consent of the director of public
service, Mr.. s. r. Rauhauser he was
permitted to execute 1t. Mr.. Balm
for the past two years has been CIV
ing play days in Lincoln park, to
which all of the children of the city
have been invited. These have proved
a great success, but this year he
planned a weeks camp. Now he has
executed that plan and to him be-
longs the credit. At all times since
the camp was opened, he has had di-
rect supervision of the camp and has
devoted his entire time to looking
after the safety and welfare of the
little folks who were entrusted to
him by loving parents. That no ac-
cidents have occurred and no sick
ness invaded the camp is considered
remarkable.
Next year a similar camp will
doubtlessly be opened and 1t Is eX-
pected many more children will par
ticipate.
Later in the season a play day,
similar to those held in the past. will
probably be given the children.
