GARDENS AND THEIR MAKERS

I'm these times the play shall be
wholesome play, not in theatrical gar
dens, with tin flowers and gas sunshine
and girls dancing because OF their mis-
cry. but In true gardens. with real
flowers and real sunshine and children
dancing because OF their gladness."-
The Craftsman.
Gardens of Childhood
AS children we began the making OF
gardens. While our doll children were
asleep we made gardens for them to
walk in when they awoke from their
open-eyed slumber. With shells or
pebbles we laid paths leading to hooks
Of enchanted beauty; with leaf or
two we made groves peopled with
dancing fairies; withered flower,
under the ma sic of our child magma
ton. blossomed into masses of bloom /;
broken bit of glass became splash
ing, flashing fountains Now we are
Older and have put away many child
ish things, but the making OF gardens
we have resumed as wise, satisfying
thing to do again
Real Garden, Full OF Flowers.
Instead OF q heap OF sand. a leaf,
bit of glass. the within OF q moment
the inconsequent fingers OF childhood
we now possess ourselves of a plot OF
ground and some seed. and with definite
purpose and capable fingers we make a
garden. a true garden. full of real
lowers. where our real children can
dance in the real sunshine.
We are tired OF gas sunshine" the
constrained life OF the city, and want
to dig in the ground, to plant and plan
and grow young again, out in the sun
shine that creates beauty and renows
youth.

County League
Bids Fair to Become more
Popular than the Blue
grass Circuit.


The Madison County Base ball league,
which had most suspicious opening
on last Wednesday, promises to afford
the fans of the county some rare sport.
The league was organized for the pur-
pose of promoting the sport among the
teams Of the county and also to aid the
Pioneer team Of the Bluegrass league,
financially. Rogersville, Blue Lick.
Whites Station, Richmond and White
Hall all have some crackerjack players
in their line up and everyone of them
is determined TO win the honor Of
champion team of the county. There
have been several games played this
season, and the. boys are in good form.
The games nave been scheduled for
every Saturday afternoon and We'd
nesday, with a doubleheader once a
week. President Stockton, of the
league, one Of the greatest fans in the
country, says it win develop many
crack players. which the Bluegrass

New Feed.
For Cattle is Becoming very
Popular With Ken
tuckianS.

A few years ago it was an extremely
difficult matter TO interest cattle feeders
on the subject OF cotton seed meal and
hulls. Kentucky being. State that
produces plenty of corn. hay oats and
other feed, the feeder naturally hates to
put cash money into feed when he
feels that he can raise what is necessary.
However, the feeders of a progressive
type have learned that few dollars
invested in high grade cotton seed meal
brings mighty good dividends; in fact,
since the silO has come into use in the
State, silage feeders have found that it
is next to impossible to fatten cattle
properly without cotton seed meal.
The straight corn feeders have learned
that it pays to feed two or three pounds
of meal per day to their cattle in ad
dition to their corn. Dairymen have
lascertained that there is no better or
cheaper base for a properly balanced
dairy ration as high grade cotton seed
meal contains Al per cent, of crude
protein, which is one of the most essen
tial ingredients in an animal feed.
Another point in favor of the meal
feeders, one of the greatest benefits
derived from cattle feeding at-the
present day, is the rebuilding or re-
claiming of the soil, and cotton seed
meal adds most wonderfully to the
value of manure. Cotton seed hulls are
largely used in certain sections of the
State as a roughage, and with most
satisfying results The present indica-
tions are that there will be more meal
and hulls fed in the State than any year
in the past on account of the relative
high price of corn and hay.
