sowing season approaches.

ferred in the Central and Southern

 T have the housewife keep a weekly budget of expenditures, so that I can see what she Is buying and what she pays for It. She also keeps a list of the menus for each meal. At each bi-week- ly visit I go over these with her and make suggestions
 ''The teaching cannot be confined to advice merely. Very often I cook the meal, as a practical object lesson.'
 Alexander Johnson says that the causes of poverty are four Ignorance, incom- petence, industrial exploitation and effects of governments. Miss Greif will tell you that the first one is about as big as all the other three put together
 Miss Greif found a young married couple who, although the husband made plenty good money, lacked many of the necessities of life. She wondered. But when she discovered that the young wife, untrained in the duties of a wife, tried to cook beans, potatoes, and dumpings all in the same pot, Miss Greif knew why they lacked. Ans when she took the girl to market and found that she did not know the prices of the most ordinary foods she was still more confirmed in her belief that poverty is many, many times but the legitimate child of ignorance.

 Any nation that slaps Theodore Roosevelt's face will have war. Any
 nation that insults him will have to fight. There will be no arbitration. As
 for the nations that are liars. they would better keep away from Sagamore
 1ill, because MT. Roosevelt has no use for them. All this was settled definitely In the Memorial Day speech. Europe, Asia, Africa and South America have had due warning
 Mr Taft thinks it might show more patriotism and love of country to sub- init even fancied insult to the arbitra- ment of a peaceful tribunal than to subject whole people to the misery and cruelty and suffering and burden of heavy cost of a national war. This Is the counsel of a mollycoddle and .I have no use for mollycoddles."
 Let Taft and the United States arbi- trate if they want to- Let them make arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France and Germany and Japan if they are so destitute of the virile vir- tues that they can glory in such shame; but Theodore Roosevelt will have none of it. If Great Britain and France and Germany and Japan ever slap his face, Great Britain and France and Germany and Japan will be drenched in blood, treaty or no treaty. He'll cinch 'em.

Huntsville, June 17.-(Special.) )-The directors of the Huntsville Baseball association are figuring on proposi- tion of buying 8 whole team out of the Western association-the Fort Smith Ark, team, which is managed by A. & Riggs, first baseman. Riggs has wired a proposition here to come with the pick of his team, and the matter is now up 10 the directors here. The wires are being kept hot and it looks as if the deal might be pulled off.
 Riggs wires that he Is running away with the Western association and his men have lost interest in their work He guarantees to put in winning team, using the pick of his own men and the best of the players now work ing with the Huntsville team.
 The local magnates are tired of put ting up for tail-end team and they are in the market for some deal o1 this kind even If the Riggs proposi- ton is not accepted.

 The Trawig family Is only one of the A which Miss Greif visited last month, some once week, some several times each week.
 Miss Greif's work differs from the most specialized work that is being done else- where. Miss Greif not only teaches-she does. She scrubs, she washes the chill dren, she cooks the meals when neces- ,sary.
 The fault of so many homes," says Miss Grief In describing her work, lis general confusion and filth and lack of system and neatness. Cooking utensils should be hung up or put in their places. Clothes should be hung up. It makes them wear longer. Provisions and dishes should be put into some receptacles. If we can't find anything better we get boxes anu put them in.
 Having got some degree of order, we next deal with dirt. The floor must ne scrubbed, the windows washed the stove cleaned. I should say that, first of all, the dirty dishes ought to be washed. Tt is no uncommon thing to find families where the dishes are not washed for several meals-and they have only one set of dishes, at that. One of the worst conoi- tions I discover in the kitchen is num- Der of dirty dishes piled and scattered around in confusion.
 Then the children have to be cleaneo, too-and sometimes the mother.
 "When I have everything In it's place and clean," went on Miss Greif, T begin the real work of housekeeping. Instruc- ton in cooking involves buying, plan ming menus, and preparing food. The ob- ject in selecting foods of course is to get the greatest amount of nutrition at the least cost To teach this I take the housewife on a marketing expedition. Then in her own home I show her how to cook the same article in different ways and how to utilize all the parts

On the whole this plan worked well, but on one occasion the proprietor of troupe of performing geese, which had entertained the royal children at Windsor garden party, re- ceived the following communication from Sir Henry: "Sir-I am instructed by the queen to thank you for your visit of yesterday, and to express the hope that the ladies and gentlemen of your com- pany arrived safely in London, and in good health"

POLLUTION CAUSE OF DISEASE
Too Many Fowls Kept on One EncIo-
sure for Year Without Change Of
Ground-Should Be Divided.

Nearly every poultry raiser keeps
too many fowls In a limited area OF
ground. 1t is common circumstance
to hear Of some person having good
success with poultry for few years.
when all at once things begin to go
wrong and the person loses iaith in
the industry. Chickens die by the
dozens, and those that remain alive
fail to yield a profit The cause of
all the trouble seems to be hidden, yet
1t is not far to find, right in the
ground of the poultry yard.
Fifty or hundred or more chicks
or any other domestic animals, kept
In one enclosure for a year without
change, will pollute their surround
ings, This Is true even with healthy
fowls, and where disease breaks out
1t is much more true. The pollution
extends, as a rule, not only to the
grounds, but to the poultry house as
we'll 1t Is often impossible or diff
ficult to purify the house. The result
Is that poison or disease become deep
seated in the surroundings and strin-
gent methods must be resorted to in
order to eradicate them
1t is easy, or at least possible. to
clean and purify almost any poultry
house and make 1t fit for continued
habitation of fowls without hav-
ing to change them to other
quarters. 1t is not so easy with
yards and grounds. The poison is so
deeply absorbed by them that It re-
quires months to remove 1t.
The immediate grounds around a
poultry house receive the most pollu-
ton. The grounds further away re-
ceive less. For this reason, the
grounds Immediately adjacent to- the
poultry house should be divided by
fence into at least two parts and each
part cultivated in some crop every
alternate year, with all poultry kept
from 1t during the season of cultiva-
ton. This will allow much of dis
ease and other pests to die out for
want of anything to feed on, and much
of pollution and poison will be con-
sumed through physical and chemical
action in the soil. II the ground is
plowed deeply some of them will be
buried so deeply that they will never
come to light. Cultivation, aeration
and the growth of plants In the soil
all have a general tendency to soil
publication from the point of view OF
animal sanitation.
Poultry grounds on the average
farm where there is an abundance of
free range can be kept comparatively
fresh by always feeding the fowls
away from the poultry house They
will feed and range in other places If
no inducements are placed at or near
the house. Then they will use the
house only for roosting and laying
purposes and the natural daily pollu-
ton will be carried far away
