ENCOURAGE CHILDREN TO GROW FLOWERS
FOR PLEASURE AS WELL AS FOR PROFIT
When Piece Of Ground Given to Boy Girl Should Be With
Understanding That viii Be Necessary for Them to Take
Care of It--use Care in Selecting Seeds

am thorough believer in training
children to think they amount to
something by giving them something
to do that involves responsibility.
Don't make the task too hard, for If
you do that you defeat the object at
which you aim, but let 1t be one that
obliges the child to think something
out for himself. When he does this
once he has laid the foundation for a
habit of thinking out things" and be-
fore long you will find him depending
upon himself, rather than upon you,
In the solution Of many little prob
lens that he has to face. A child
likes to feel that others think him
equal to the performance of tasks that
are put before him, and, feeling this,
he will respond nobly to the estimate
you have of his ability IL you give him
to understand that 1t exists. Don't
take it for granted that boy knows
all about what you think of him I'M
less you tell him something about 1t.
Take him into your confidence, and
let him know that you consider him a
man in the making, and you'll be
surpris at the effect 1t has on him.
But that's another story" as Kip
ling says. What l set out to talk
about was the ACCESSIBILITY Of giving
the children garden of their own to
work in, and showing them how to do
that work. A child is an initiative
creature, and the lessons he gets the
greatest amount of benefit from are
object lessons, always. Spade up bit
of ground and let him see you do 1t.
and he will do the same thing pre-

them how to do things, but, after that.
leave the doing of them to the chill
dren
In selecting seeds for the children's
flower garden take care to choose only
kinds which do not require coaxing
or expert attention. Get the kinds
that will be most likely to give good
results, under the conditions they
must face. Kinds which would give
only Indifferent satisfaction are not
what you want, for these would dis
appoint the amateur gardeners, who.
naturally, expect great results from
their early efforts in the cultivation
of the SOIL Strong, sturdy, self-reliant
sorts are the ones to grow. Here is
list to choose from:
Centaurea, or Bachelors Button"
Four-o'clock Nasturtium
Candytuft Marigold
Calliopsis Larkspur
Petunia Morning Glory
Aster Portulacca
Phlox
There you have a round dozen of
kinds, all good, all pretty, all easy
to grow would not advise attempt
ing to grow all of them in one garden,
but parcel them out among the chill
dren, II there are several in the fam
lily, or get only few kinds, II there
is but one child to take care OF them.
Combining the selection to few vari-
cites encourages the beginner to con-
centrate his energies rather than
spread them out Unfortunately.
Insist that the ground shall be kept
free from weeds, and insist. also, that
Delaware City press. (Delaware City, Del.) 1913-19??, 1913-02-28

the plants in it shall receive daily
attention. There may not be much
work to do in it every day, but the
habit should be formed of looking
after it.
Such an idea is not at all in har-
moQy with what we set out to teach
when we set the children to garden
ing. For the important thing about
1t is not SO much the garden that re-
suits as it is the knowledge of how to
do things that grows out of the work
that is undertaken.
Encourage the children to share the
flowers they grow with those who
love flowers but have none of their
own. Let them bring some of them to
the Sunday school and the church,
and be sure to have them remember
the shut-ins, and the sick. This will
help them form habit of thoughtful.
ness for others, and the pleasure that
grows out of these little acts will be
strong encouragement for more ex-
tensive gardening operations another
season.

Queen Victoria Detested Tobacco.
The number OF smoking rooms now
distributed over Windsor castle
would considerably astonish Queen
Victoria could she but see them. Her
late majesty could never bring herself
to do more than tolerate the weed in
any form, and the smoking room was
always relegated to very distant
part of her various residences. Nor
were the guests permitted to solace
themselves with quiet smoke in
their own apartments, as their ar
rival they we're specially warned not
to do SO.

cisely as you did it, SO far as his
strength will admit of 1t. But don't
spade the ground without telling him
why you do 1t. Give reason for all
you do. And do not get impatient
over the questions he asks. That's
how he is to learn things.
When you give a bit of ground to
boy or girl, as garden, give them to
understand that in order to make it
their very own" 1t will be necessary
for them to take care of it, and you
will find them very enthusiastic over
the undertaking. But don't let their
enthusiasm get the better of your
judgment and result in giving them
more of garden than they can care
for well. Impress upon them that a
little work done well is a good deal
better than larger amount of work
poorly done.
Spading the ground and working it
over and over to make 1t mellow will
be play to a healthy boy or girl.
About all you will have to do in their
garden is to direct matters Show

LITTLE THINGS TO
DO IN AN ORCHARD
Cleaning Up and Moderate Prun-
ing Makes Work Much Easier
in the Spring.

Peach trees under four years old
which are so badly frozen as to show
discolored wood must be cut off below
the snow line and allowed to sprout
again.
Very often trees that have passed
through hard winter show no indi-
cations of freezing in the bark, but
an examination may show that the
.wond is injured.
An orchard on high ground should
always be protected by wind break
of other trees planted on the north
side.
Norway Spruce, Scotch and Aus.
trian Pine, planted about Is feet apart
make excellent wind breaks.
Cleaning up the orchard and moder.
ate pruning now will make the work
much easier in the spring.
Now is the time to romeve all dead
branches and those that are weak. and
which Interfere with other healthy
branches.
Do not allow sheep to run in the
young orchard. They are very ant to
nibble the tender sprouts and even
bark the trees.
A few years ago eastern peach
growers extensively tried out the use
of crude petroleum as an insecticide
But while it kills the bugs 1t often
causes great injury to the trees,
If used at all. it should be applied
in the late fall or very early spring
and never during hot weather.

FATTEN POULTRY
FOR THE MARKET
Fowls Should Be in Good Health,
Of Large Size and Nice
Appearance.
;By N. f. CHAPMAN. Poultry Specialist
Minnesota Agricultural College.)

;By N. f. CHAPMAN. Poultry Specialist,
Minnesota Agricultural College)
Poultry marketed from the farm
consists of cockerels, or males under
one year ROSTERS. pullets culled from
standardized stock, hens, guineas,
doves, ducks, geese and turkeys. They
are generally sold alive in summer
and early autumn and both live and
dressed in late autumn and winter.
To bring the highest market price,
market poultry, whether alive or
dressed, should be in good health, of
large size and well fattened. The
laws of Minnesota make it an offense
punishable by fine of not less than
$50, or imprisonment in Jail for not
less than sixty days, for selling, or
offering for sale, sick, diseased or de-
caying poultry. Disease is usually
disclosed by a white or black comb
and a stilted walk.
All poultry marketed should be fat.
This condition is the chief factor in
determining the price per pound. Fat
old hens, of whatever weight, often
command a higher price than young,
tender spring chickens. Chickens fat
tened with ground grains and skim
milk or puttermilk are called milk
fed chickens" and command fancy
prices. At the Crookston station,
Barred Plymouth Rock cockerels, 81
months old, gained two pounds in
twenty-one days at cost of less than
five cents per pound gain.
