GUS rosettes all over the body The
long-haired cavies are not recon-
mended for ordinary pets. as their
coats need much care. The smooth
haired require less attention and
make equally attractive pets. They
have the advantages of being easily
kept and of never biting when han
died. However, it is not advisable to
subject pet animals Of any sort to
much handling or fondling. Even
dogs and cats are always the worse
for such treatment. and pet rabbits
or guinea pigs soon show the results
of much handling in their roughened
coats and lack of sprightliness. Long
haired guinea pigs, especially if in
tended for show, require some han.
ding, since the hair has to be
brushed frequently. This is best
done while the animal rests on high
shelf where it need not be held dur.
ing the brushing.
Guinea pigs are in much demand for
experimental use in the preparation,
testing, and standardizing serums and
antitoxins. They are well adapted for
this purpose, being small and easily
handled. Their use in medical re
search is steadily increasing. and
some of the large institutions, unable
to. secure a steady supply Of reliable
stock for their own purposes, have
set up breeding establishments OF
their own.
Sometimes guinea pigs found in
bird stores are unfit for laboratory
experiments. They have been pre-
viously used for serum or antitoxin
tests or may be the offspring of ami
mails that have survived such tests.
Unless the dealer knows the source
from which the animals came and
can guarantee that they have never
been used for experiments. he can
rarely sell them tof institutions. ANY
breeder undertaking to supply animals
to laboratories must give absolute as
surance as to their suitability for eX.
periments. If he can do this and fur
nish the animals as needed. he should

them and to establish a permanent
and lucrative business.
The chief enemy of the guinea pig
is the common rat Preventive meas
ures should be taken for the extermin.
alton of rats; after they have thor
oughly established themselves about
the premises it is no easy task. In a
neighborhood that is rat-infested,
buildings intended for housing guinea
pigs should be made absolutely rat
proof.
The rearing Of guinea pigs requires
no extraordinary knowledge and no
great outlay Of capital. Little space
is needed to accommodate the ami

SUITABLE SOIL FOR ONIONS
Crop Does Best on Rich Loan ana
Irrigation Must Be Evenly Plenti-
full Throughout Season.

The best all around soil for onions
is rich loan. Very sandy, as we'll
as heavy adobe. is not a good soil
for this crop. Since the onion is a
gross feeder, there is no danger of
getting the soil too rich and the irri-
CATION must be evenly plentiful
throughout the season so that there is
no check back in the growth. Even
II the soil is considered fertile. it is
advisable to enrich it by means of
manure or other fertilizers. On the
whole, manure is the best, and when
used in all probability it would give
better results If it were simply disked
in, instead of being plowed under.
Manure can be- used at the rate OF
twenty to thirty loads to the acre
Some folks like to get their onion
seeding done in February and the plan
is all right if the ground is ready to
be worked. as 1t is in some places. If
the temperature remains low it may
require some time for the seel to ger
inmate, but 1t will come on with the
first warm days and thus get an early
start. In drilling the see great care
should be taken not to get it too deep
Three-fourths to one inch is probably
the best depth to get a good stand
BY this method of starting the seed
it will be necessary to thin in the
row as soon as the little sets are large
enough. Thin as early as possible
The seedlings can be thinned when
they are twice the size OF match.
AS a rule. under our irrigation condi-
tions the thinning is rather expensive
but 1t has to be done SO as to leave
the permanent plants four inches
apart in the fifteen-inch rows. 1t is
quite necessary TO do the thinning
early to destroy the weed growth
which is bound to come in to inter
fere with the growths- The onion
plants need all the ground and mois
ture.

HERBS NEEDED IN A GARDEN
Among Best for Use Are Mint, Sage,
Lavender, Summer savory. Thyme,
Annls and Coriander.
CBy LEROY CADY.)

No garden is complete without some
of the herbs. Among the best for use
are mint, sage, lavender, summer sa-
worry. thyme, annis. coriander. dill and
winter savory. Directions for sowing
these are given as a rule. on the pack
age in which the seed comes. The
seed may be sown in boxes or flats
early in spring; and. as soon as the
plants are large enough. they may be
transplanted to a permanent place in
the garden. One-year-old plants of
most of these herbs can be purchased
from the nursery. which will save
some time.

Guinea pigs, or cavies, are raised
chiefly for two purposes-as pets or
fancy stock and for scientific uses.
For four centuries the guinea pig
was regarded merely as a pet and
bred for show and fancy alone. Being
plastic animal, it was considerably
changed during this period, and sew

original were developed. Thus, besides

w THO get the most real pleas
w ure out of life, rich peo-
pie or poor people? Is
happiness for sale over the counter,
like a peck of potatoes or dia-
mond tiara, and can only those
purchase it who have the price?
We are continually called upon
to weep over the pathetic fate Of
poor children whose home is the
street and whose playground the
gutter. We might as well shed
other tears over the sad lot of the
multi-millionaire baby whose cradle
is guarded by armed detectives,
whose food is regulated by a high
priced doctor, whose toys are ster-
ilized, who has only a bowling &C
quaintance with it's parents, and
who never knows what 1t is to
have one single hour of natural,
untrammeled freedom.
Poor children are happier than
rich children, and they have bet
ter chance in life, for 1t Is the
curse of wealth that 1t kills ambi-
ton and numbs effort. Someone
said to a very rich self-made man
once that he had given his son
every advantage of education.
YES" replied the wise old man
sadly, every advantage but the
greatest advantage of all-poverty.
1 couldn't give my son the chance
in life I had myself"
Certainly, however, the vast ma
jority of people believe that wealth
brings happiness.
How do they figure this out?
Not in physical comfort. No
matter how rich a man may be he
can not eat more than one good din
ner at a time, and that has to be
of plain food habitually, or else he
acquires dyspepsia, which is no re-
specter of pocketbooks. He can
not sleep in but one bed. He can
not wear but one suit of clothes at
a time.
He can enjoy no more heat in
winter, nor breezes in summer;
use no more light, nor more bath
tubs, than any man of moderate
means. After you reach a certain
not very exalted point Of wealth

fences the purchasing power of
