SPRING GARDEN PLANNING.
Order Seeds Early and Test Them.
E. X. PARKINSON

February is garden planning month,
for there are the seeds to be ordered,
plans to be drawn, manure to be pur-
chased and plowman to be engaged.
To derive the greatest pleasure from a
garden it should be a permanent one
and the spot most carefully selected. A
level piece or one sloping gently toward
the south is TO be preferred, and if pos
sible windbreak of evergreens should
be set out on the north side, and a low
hedge of barberry might be planted
around the edge of the entire garden,
adding great beauty and providing
bright autumn coloring. For Illustration
we viii lay out garden for a family
of six and divide in four parts, so that
any or all could be used. Mark out,
then, a square 200 feet on each side,
with a windbreak of trees or wall or
board fence on the north side and low
hedge of barberry on the other three
sides. Divide this square into four equal
parts by walks ten feet wide and where
they cross in the center build a little

How an Intelligent Immigrant Looks
at America.

In the March American Magazine Mary
Antm begins new series of articles
entitled "They Who Knock at Our Gates.
Miss Antin is one Of the most brilliant
of the recent products of immigration
She is young Russian Jewess who land
ed on our shores only few years ago
unknown and unnoticed. Since then she
has written one of the most remarkable
books of our time, and now she is begin
ming this new presentation of America
from the point of view of a highly in
telligent and cultivated foreigner. On
the question as to who has right to
settle in Ameria Miss Antin says in
part:
"The sins we have been guilty of in
our conduct of the immigration deba tc
have had their roots in a misconception
of our own position in the land. We
have argued the matter as though we
owned the land, and were therefore at
liberty TO receive or reject the unbidden
guests who came to us by thousands.
Let any man who lays claim to any por-
tion of the territory of the United States
produce his title deed. Are not most Of
us squatters here, and squatters of re-
cent date at that? The rights of a
squatter are limited to the plot he ae-
tually occupies and cultivates. The por-
tion of the United States territory that
is covered by squatters' claims is only
fraction, albeit respectable fraction,
of the land we govern. In the name of
what moral law do we WELD watch
mans club over the vast regions that
are still waiting to be staked outs The
number of American citizens who can
boast of ancestral acres is not sufficient
to swing a presidential election. For
that matter, those whose claims are
founded on ancestral tenure should be
the very ones to dread an examination
of titles. For it would be shown that
these few got their lands by stepping
into dead mems shoes, while the ma or-
ity wrenched their estates from the will
derness by the labor of their own hands.
In the face of the sturdy American pref
erence for an aristoeracy of brain and
Drawn, the wisest thing the man with a
pedigree can do is to scrape the lichens
off his family tree. Think OF tracing
the family title to some wild deal with
a band of unsophisticated Indians"

of the squares will be ninety-five feet
On the east, west and north sides set
out fruit trees next to the hedge-ap
pies and cherries twenty five feet apart
pears and peaches about twenty feet

On the plan mark the plots l., 2, 3, a.
Use the northwest plot, No. ], for per-
manent crops, such as grapes, small

with cheap seeds unless willing to test
them first. which may be done by fill
ing shallow pans with damp sand, plant
ing in the seeds and keeping them moist
and covered with a cloth for a few days,
when the seeds worth while viii start
to grow. With such garden, wen pre-
pared by deep blowing, thorough harrow
ing and pulverizing until the soil is
fine and mellow and literally manuring
it, one may derive not only great plea
sure, but nice profit as well.

Breed for Vitality.
PROF.. II. r. LEWIS.


New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station.
Constitutional vigor means health, vi
tality and stamina common to strong,
we'll bred birds, the lack of which
makes poor breeders and Improbable
egg producers, and no one practice would
result in better birds and more profit
than mating and selecting breeders for
vitality if for no other characteristic.
A good hen is expected to lay in one
year five times her body weight in eggs,
which means about one egg every three
days, and to accomplish this she must
consume and assimilate thirty times her
body weight of food. Therefore the lay
ing hen must be an exceptionally strong,
vigorous animal to stand up under such
q strain.
Signs Of Lack of Vitality.
The following are some of the contrib
utory causes to lack of vitality: In
creased productiveness without proper
care, too close inbreeding without re-
gard to yigor, the use of pullets instead
of mature hens for breeding, heavy feed
ing of forcing foodstuffs, excessive crowd
ing or congestion of breeding stock, lack
of exercise for breeding or laying stock,
careless and improper methods OF hatch
ing and failure to use due care in selec-
ton of breeding stock which possess SUI
perior physical yigor.
The action and movement of birds
probably indicate best their physical
condition, as the physically weak are in
active, dull and generally NOPE around
rather than range to any extent in the
search of food or scratch for grains
which are fed in litter for the express
purpose of keeping the birds busy. Weak
birds are usually the longest on the
perch, going on early at night and COM
ing off late in the morning and in ex-
treme cases spending most of the day
on the perch The bird which is off the
perch first in the morning and the last
one on at night is in every case the one
to keep for breeding and laying, and the
loud and frequent growing of the male
and the cackling of the female are indi-
cations of physical strength and superior
ity.
There are certain body signs indicat-
ing lack of vigor. They are long, thin
neck; thin, long beak; narrow head; a
long, slender body lacking depth; long
legs and thighs which give the bird a
stilted appearance, knoekknees and
sunken or depressed eye. The strong bird
at any age should have prominent eye;
well developed body, which is deep and
wide; glossy, neat plumage; bright comb
and wattles; erect carriage, and should
be active and sprightly in all its move

MULE VERSUS HORSE POWER.
A Long Lived and Economical Beast.
GEORGE H. DACY

! A Long Lived and Economical Beast.
GEORGE H. DACY
Mules are more intelligent, efficient
and generally more satisfactory for
| farm work than horses and for their
weight are superior in drafting ability.
| They wax fat ON grain and roughage
that most horses would reject, consum-
ing about four-fifths as much food as
similarly sized horses. Contrary to pop
ular opinion. the majority of mules are
| tractable, docle and easily handled in
the field and stable, while for heavy
work and continuous service mules will
ordinarily wear out the average team
of farm horses.
Mules are particularly adapted to a
change of drivers, as they flourish under
treatment that would worry and fret a
horse almost to death. At present they
excel horses in value on all the leading
markets, and pair of young, well brok
en- 200 pound mules standing sixteen
bands high will command from $3.50 to
500 and higher, and their immunity to
foot and leg ills, which so vitality affect
the efficiency of many horses, is another
strong point in favor of this race of by.
brids The mule is the offspring of the
mating of jack and mare and is in
capable of reproducing himself.
Mule Raising Profitable.
The owner of good jack and sew
eral typy draft mares can make an at
tractive income from mule raising, as
weanling mules bring about S75 per
head, yearling 1925 to $3.50 apiece, while
two-year-o sell for $l75 to 5000 and
mature mules bring upward of 1925.
Thus the mule breeder is quickly able
to realize on his stock raising operations.
Ordinarily a desirable jack costs from
$500 to 81 1000.
For general roustabout farm work the
mule is excellent and after wearisome
days work, when free of his harness,
first takes a good roll, drinks little
water, then eats little feed, and in this
way he passes the night The next morn
ing he is ready for another ten or twelve
or even fifteen hours of hard work.
Mules are also their own doctors and
will not gorge themselves with food nor
flood themselves with water, as win
horses, for you never hear of a mule
being foundered, simply because he
knows when he has had enough. The
term stubborn as mule" would be
more appropriate if it ran sensible as
mule" Again, the mule has the ability
to endure heat and is far less liable
than horse to injury from sunstroke.
He also has smaller and more compact
feet than horse, point to be appre-
ciated in eultivating the hoed crops
where the rows are narrow. Lastly, the
mule makes a very serviceable road ami
NAL and will 60 along with a right good
will for hours at stretch.
