for the blind poet when he wished to
leave London to escape the plague.
The room in which he sat and wrote
is now small museum, containing
letters, pictures and various editions
of his works. We can easily imagine
1t as it must have been on that day
when the two friends were talking to-
gether, and Milton produced the poem
he had lately written, asking Ellwood
to read it at his leisure! 1t was as
Ellwood says, that excellent poem,
entitled Paradise Lost" and then he
continued:
After I had, with my best atten-
ton, read it through, I made him an
other visit and returned him his book
with due acknowledgement of the
favor he had done me in communicate
ing it to me. He asked me how !
liked it and what l thought of it,
which / modestly but freely told him.
and after some further discourse about
1t, I pleasantly said to him: Thou
hast said much here of Paradise Lost,
but what hast thou to say of Para
disc Found?'"

The back windows look out on the
cherry orchard which stretched from
Millions cottage to Breakspeare's
farm. 1t is said that Milton used to
find his way thither through the Or
chard, guiding himself by the tree

blind poet stepping slowly through
the rich grass, holding out his hands
to touch the familiar trees.

SOME PURE-MILK PROBLEMS
Is of Barn and Its Accommoda-
tons, Says Oregon Student.

For the dairyman whose aim is the
profitable production of pure milk,
probably the most important problem,
aside from the feeding, is that of the
barn and its accommodations, writes
e. S. Wisdom, student at the Ore
gon Agricultural college, in an article
in the Oregon Countryman, the stu
dent agricultural magazine.
The dairy COW requires, for the high
est production, comfortable and
healthy quarters which are protected
from the inclement weather, he con-
tinues. A warm, substantial stable is
almost imperative in the cold climate.
1t must not be forgotten, however, that
the health of the herd is likely to be
impaired unless proper precautions are
taken to insure rigid cleanliness and
abundance of light and fresh air.
An expensive structure is unneces-
sary, but one that will be convenient
for the labor and furnish contentment
to the herd should be provided. The
location should be chosen to maintain
the highest degree of sanitation, de-
pending largely upon the drainage.
The tile-drained barnyards often elm
mate the undesirable conditions found
commonly. Whenever it is possible,
the barn should be built on a knoll,
though never on an elevation higher
than the house occupies.
Convenience of access from different
parts of the farm saves labor and time.
Barns near main road or across a
road from the house are not recon-
mended. The landing should face
north and south, SO that the sunlight
might enter from both sides during
the day.

Fewer Strong Men Found Among Recruits of Today

ID ECRU1TS in the army are deterior-
N ating in physical standards since
the days of the Civil war, according
to Captain Harold w. Jones and 9TH
er officers of the army medical corps.
During a recent investigation meas
urements of 500 recruits were examin-
ed, and it was found that the per-
centage of strong men enlisted is by
far the lowest at the present day, only
81 per cent, as against 81 per cent
tA1S75.
The men considered weak at the
present /. time are 43 per cent. as
against 10 per cent in 1875 At
tention is called to the fact that the
percentage of foreign-born recruits
has fallen from more than go per cent
to about nine per cent. 1t is suggest
ed that many of the recruits obtained
years ago were hardy German and
Irish emigrants of stocky build,
which may account for the great diff
terence in the percentage of strong
men.
I'VE must take the figures cautious

HONOR BIG EVENT
Dutch Celebrate Recall of the
House of Orange.
Completes First Century of Liberation
From Domination BY Napoleon
Holland Now One of Centers
of European Civilization.

Par1s.-Last summer the Dutch COM
pleted the first century of their liberia
ton from the France of Napoleon.
After the Battle of Leipzig, in 1913,
in which Napoleon was defeated, the
French were driven out of Holland
and the House of Orange once more
recalled to power. In November of
that year the prince of Orange, son
of William v, returned from England
and was proclaimed William l. of the
Netherlands. 1t is the centenary of
this historic event that was commem-
Grated with manifestations of patriot
ism in the little country of bikes and
dunes, says the American Review of
Reviews.
Since the beginning of the TWEEN
tieth century Holland has come to be
looked upon by the world chiefly as
the home of that splendid information
al tribunal at The Hague by the
agreement of all the civilized powers
of the world for the settlement of dis
putes between nations. The first
world peace conference was held in
the Dutch capital in 1899 and the Sec
ond in 1907. When the beloved Queen
Wilhelmina. at the age of eighteen,
assembled to the throne of her fathers,
in 1898, the reform of Dutch franchise
laws had begun. Electoral reform has
been one of the mooted questions in
Dutch parliamentary procedure ever
since. One of the most important
pieces of legislation passed by the
states general during recent years
was law Gin 1909 making railroad
strikes illegal. Other questions Of
coast defence, colonies and a new GUS
toms tariff have engaged public at

(By WILLIAM H. UNDERWOOD
Potatoes attended for seed should
be kept hard and plump during the
winter and this can be done only by
keeping then so cool that they will
not sprout.
When potatoes sprout they take
part of the starch that is stored up in
them and manufacture it into living
cells. This energy is all wasted for
the sprouts have to be pulled off.
Some farmers make it a point to
"sprout'' their potatoes once or twice
during the winter, this being done to
prevent their growing. But the amount
of energy thus lost is considerable,
and the loss increases as the winter
draws to a close.
I raise potatoes in large quantities

TO orchards and to shade trees and or
namental shrubs in cities, parks and
cemeteries have occasioned a great
deal of loss in the past three or four
years.
The bagworm is easy to control, at
least upon trees of moderate size.
There are two methods of destroying
the pest, by collecting all of the bags
and by spraying with poison. If the
bagworm is restricted to only a few
trees, one can easily collect all of the
bags in the winter when the leaves
are Off This method is in common
use and is entirely effective, if care
fully done. 1t does not work so we'll
on evergreens and, of course, is out
of the question in very large orchards
or groves. In such cases it is neces-
sary to spray when the young cater
pillars begin to feed upon the foliage
in the spring. Early spraying should
be practiced as the pest is destroyed
before the foliage is consumed The
first regular application of poison for
the cooling moth, just after the bios
SONS fall in the spring, will also con-
troll the bagworm in orchards. One
careful application of poison before
the first of June will usually control
the pest either upon fruit, evergreen
or shade trees.

and each year place them in cold stor-
age. l prefer to pay the expense of
the storage and be.sure that they are
kept in a perfectly plump state rather
than to keep them in a room with a
high temperature as is done by some.
In the spring the potatoes come out
of the cold storage house in perfect
condition and it takes but few weeks
for them to develop strong sprouts
that rise out of the soil and develop
strong stalks and leaves.
Many farmers have not the oppor
tunity to put their potatoes in cold
storage houses, but they should en-
deayor to keep their potatoes at a
very low temperature. The. nearer SO
degrees the potatoes are kept, the bet
ter.
