Commander Victor Blue of South
Carolina to be chief of the bureau OF
navigation, navy department. in place
of Capt Philip Andrews. resigned.
The incumbent of that office has the
rank and pay of a rear admiral.
Before the navy personnel had
fairly recovered from the surprise
caused by the change in head Of the
navigation bureau. Secretary Daniels
issued fresh order that will have
far-reaching consequences. That
makes sea service an absolute condi-
ton for promotion. 1t took the form
of an instruction to the naval exam
lining board, requiring: :,
That officers coming up for pro-
motion shall have had sufficient sea
services in the grade from which
they are to be promoted. to insure
beyond doubt that they are fully
qualified and experienced at sea to
perform the sea duties of the next
higher grade"

McADoo SUGGESTS USE OF MAIL

The United States mail is sug-
gested by william G. McAdoo. secre-
tary of the, treasury. as the best
means of applying for job in his
department of the federal govern
ment. Driven almost to distraction
by the rush of the hungry to his pie
counter during the first days he was
in office, he slipped back the other
night to New York as a haven OF
refuge from the mob. Mr.. McAdoo
returned the next morning sufficiently
rested and refreshed, but the army of
Job hunters also had good rest In
washington during his absence. and
they swarmed about him thicker than
ever.
Mr.. McAdoo, in desperation. gave
out this statement:
Without any disposition to be
disobliging, l am compelled to discon-
tinue my efforts to receive personal
applications for office. l have tried
1t for ten days and l find that 1t
consumes my entire time and leaves
public business. Besides. 1t is absolute

Applications should be made in v
the treasury. They will be filed and re

CucunnberS.

One of the most satisfactory vege-
tables for the small garden is the Gu
cumber 1t is easy to grow. bears pro-
fusely, and almost everyone likes 1t.
Eight or ten plants properly tended
will furnish all of the fruit that the
average family can consume and there
will be lots of surplus cucumbers to
pickle, as we'll.
They are planted by seed as coon.
as the spring weather is reasonably
settled and the first edible cucumbers
may be counted on about ninety days
after planting.
The first important consideration is
the soil. Cucumbers. like all of the
cucurbitaceae, love light mellow soil
and sunny location. They belong
to semi-tropical desert class of
plants and sunshine is much more
important than water, although both
are necessary. The soil Immediately
adjacent to the seed hill should be
very rich with well-rotted compost or
manure. An excellent plan is to dig
out the soil to a depth of eighteen
inches and fill in with compost and
thSh'i QUIZ. n iihC 10 ohC puA I
wood ashes. two parts sand. one part
manure and two parts rotted sod or
black loan.
Where space is unimportant, plant
the seeds In hills six or eight feet
apart, twelve seeds to the hill. Plant
an inch deep and firmly cover the
seeds. If desired. box frame may be
placed about each hill and pane OF
glass fitted over It. This will force
the growth and enables one to plant a
month earlier than is otherwise pos.
sible. 1t will also protect the plants
from the striped beetle. but care must
be taken that the glass is raised when
the sun is hot. or trouble will result
| Where used with late paintings and
for protection from bugs only, 1t is
better to replace the glass with cotton
cloth.
Remove the boxes as soon as the
plants send out runners and thin out
to the four sturdiest plants in each
hill. The striped beetle is the onl,
serious pest and must be guarded
! against 1t attacks the young plants
at the ground line Just before they
run. If boxing is not resorted to. II
is a good plan to keep the plants ant
the surrounding ground sprinklet
with powdered white hellebore. An
other old-fashioned remedy Is a thir
plaster of COW manure over botf
plants and soil. Do not thin out any
plants until danger from bugs is past
The usual plan is to let the vinei
grow over the ground at their owl
sweet will. The better way. espe
cially for the small city garden. is t.
train them up on a trellis or WOO,
and wire framework. This save
ground and improves the fruit as tn,
sun gets better chance and th'
vines are not crushed In gathering
the cucumbers. Cut OF yellow leave
with sharp shears and always cut tn,
fruit of instead of pulling or twist
ing 1t.
Frequent applications Of liquid ma
nure to the roots will work wonder
and this practice cannot be too highI.
recommended for all the later gardel
plants. White Spine and Long Greer
are excellent American varieties.

Oats for Hoo Feed

Oats as a hog feed has never been
very popular for two reasons. First.
the price is usually too high; and,
second. the feeding value is not SO
great per pound for hogs as that
of corn. When the price declines SO
that the cost per pound is less than
corn the attention of hog raisers is
Immediately attracted to its feeding
