JULY a NAvrs BIG DAY.

Officials and Officers cooperate to
Give Sailors Fine Holiday.
Uncle Sam makes the Fourth of July
a greater day among his sailors than
even Christmas. Indeed, it is the
greatest day of relaxation and pleasure
for jackie in the whole year The
early secretaries of the navy establish
ed the custom. and it has been al
most religiously maintained inviolate
through the long line of officials who
have succeeded the pioneers of our sea

Independence day belongs to the blue
jacket. His superiors recognize that
his life is in some respects hard one.
To him are denied the ties of family, the
friendships and all the other interests
and diversions of life that make up
the landsman's existence. For this
reason Uncle Sam believes that his
sailors should have as many holidays
as possible.
To make Independence day the big
gest of them all is to give the day a
special significance which cannot but,
to some degree at least, carry its les

Field mice and rabbits frequently

fruit trees in Kentucky by girdling.
Oftentimes the tree is completely CIR

length and in extreme cases the in

This form of injury is especially no
ticeable where the young orchard has
been in sod. In order to protect tree
against injury of this kind it lis best
to clean the sod away from the tree
for a space of several inches in TIE
fall and then make a mound about six
or eight inches high around each tree,
packing it quite firm. This will not
only serve as a protection. against
rodents, but it will act as a brace for
the tree and prevent it from whipping

GOOD RATION FOR FATTENlNG
If Fowls Have Their Liberty and Are
Free From Lice Cracked Corn
Will Make Rapid Gains.

From the many fattening rations
and the articles on crate fattening,
pen fattening and examining. the
farmer might get the impression that
fattening is a different proposition.
Such, however, is not the case,
says the Farmer. Some of the best
poultry we ever saw fattened was
fattened by simply giving them all
the cracked corn they would eat for
three weeks, while they were on free
range of the farm. Usually farm
fowls are healthy, and, if they have
their liberty and are free from lice,
plenty of cracked corn will make them
gain rapidly, and when dressed for
market they get plump and of bright
red color.
Where it is desired to fatten some
of the flock and not all of it, that
which is not to be fattened can be al
lowed to run at liberty, and that to
be fattened can be put into yards, or
even kept in the houses. In that case
a different ration is needed. There
should be plenty of grit and charcoal

mash made of three parts cornmeal,
one part wheat bran and one part
high-grade beef scraps, mixed crum-
bly, with water or milk, should be
given, all they will eat up in Is min
utes, and no more. At noon some
green food and cracked corn may be
given, and at night they should have
all the cracked corn they will eat. If
they are free from vermin they will
fatten rapidly under this treatment.
If they do not eat heartily, they
must be put out on the range again
until they recover their appetites.

Treatment of this kind is usually not
thought of in time and the orchardist
is often dismayed in spring to find his
trees seemingly entirely ruined. The
outer bark will be easily removed, and
it is plain to see that the tree will die
unless something is done Immediately
A very simple way to repair this
damage is by means of bridge graft
ing. First tr-n all the injured bark
away to sound, live bark. Next select
some dormant cions about the size of a
pencil and cut each end to a smoo. h,
sIanting edge. Make an opening in
the bark above and below the wound
with a chisel or knife and insert the
sharpened cions. The cions should be
cut a little longer than the exact dis
lance between the openings, so that
they will not fall away. The ex 2osed

the association cared for over two hun

that some idea of the greatness of the

Miss Morton and Miss Madeline Ste

establishment OF street play, tell many
interesting stories about the children
who come under their care.
Miss Stevens declares that very often
the children are afraid OF the teachers
and the hardest part OF their work often
lies in the fact that they are obliged
to assure them that they do not want
to reform them, but just give them a
good time and keep them from those
conditions that require reformation, but
as soon az they realize the truth the
work becomes pleasure.
