MONEY in HOME GARDENS
Speakers at Boston Meeting Say Boys
and Girls Are Making Their
Training Profitable.

The application of home and school
garden training may be said to have
been in a general way the subject dis
cussed at a meeting at Boston of the
Home and School Garden Club of
Massachusetts.
Prof. w. R. Hart of Amherst Agri-
cultural college, the secretary Of the
club, declared that the home and
school garden is now, so to speak, "a
going proposition" and that after six
years of urging the plan for urban,
suburban and rural districts the idea
is now to school children so they
may turn the knowledge acquired in
the gardens to the best advantage.
All the speakers laid stress on. the
fact that, aside from keeping children
interested and proftably occupied, the
garden training has resulted in consid-
cradle revenue to the youthful garden
ers, once they have become reason
ably proficient in growing vegetables
and flowers. In the neighborhood OF
several large cities in the state the
highly cultivated market gardens have
been found to be excellent laborato-
ries for the young students Of garden
ing, and some boys from this begin
ming have graduated into the practical
work Of farming or market-gardening.
If the boys work is planting and
harvesting vegetables, there is field
for the girls in canning, and this
branch was described by Laura Com
stock OF Amherst Agricultural college,
extension professor in home econo-
mics. Miss Comstock exhibited a
small wood-burning stove specially de-
signed for steaming canned fruits or
vegetables and explained the use Of
the simple apparatus which goes with
the stove.

EFTER HALF-CENTURY MARK

Speaking of the age Of efficiency,
a Toledo gentleman locates it be
yond the half-century mark He calls
our attention to the fact that Column
bus was fifty-six when he discovered
America, that Darwin, Kant, Spencer,
Wagner, Haydn and others did their
greatest and best work when far past
the fifty mark, and that some have
persisted in great accomplishment un.
til seventy or more years of age. This
argument won't help the man who is
aged and broken and tottering at fifty,
will it? But it will hearten the man
of forty or more who has been care
full of his resources, to think that
to him achievement still is POSSIBLE
ity-and it may find him the opportu-
nifty to achieve by convincing some
master of opportunity that years do
not always spell senility or loss OF
viriIity. The young man may reflect
that he has the opportunity to run a
long race and he may catch sight of
the fact that the man of fifty is not
necessarily a back number" merely
because of his half-century

WORK IN SCIENTIFIC MANNER
Authorities Of Paris Raise Their own
Flowers and Trees for Beautlfy-
Ing the City.

The raising, planting and upkeep OF
the trees which SO beautify the streets
and boulevards Of Paris are under the
direction of the prefecture OF the De
partment Of the Seine, in which Parls
is situated A special administrative
department Of the prefecture, known
as the Direction administrative des
services d'architecture ct des prone
nades ct plantations" is in exclusive
charge of this undertaking, which, In
a city like Paris, assumes very large
proportions. For instance, on January
/, 1912, the total number of trees on
the streets, boulevards and squares OF
Paris was S6,6S6; the total number OF
men employed throughout the year In
planting, transplanting, watering and
removing dead trees was 100, and the
total cost Of maintaining these trees
was estimated at 500,000f ($96500).
On an average 1,100 to 1900 new
trees are planted every year to replace
those which have died, been over
thrown by carts, automobiles, ETC., or
which have been removed for other
reasons.
The city Of Paris has large and va
ried plantations just outside the forti-
fications, where flowers, exotic shrubs
and trees are raised. One hundred and
thirteen hothouses for plants, exotic
shrubs and flowers are heated from
one central heating plant, distributing
hot water through nine and one-half
mile system of pipes. The object OF
this central heating organization is
not, as the head gardener explains,
with view to economy. In fact, such
system is far more costly than sep
arate installations for each group OF
hothouses, but is thus arranged to
avoid the existence of series of un-
slightly chimneys which would destroy
the artistic effect of the grounds,
which are more or less public resort
and show place.

place Of coffee.
"a sister was i'll nearly all her life
with headache and heart trouble, and
about all she cared for was coffee and
tea. The doctors told her she must
leave them alone, as medicine did her
no permanent good.

THE late Bishop Bowman" said
a Philadelphia minister, "once re-

This little girl, it seems, had writ
ten with great pains a composition
on the COW. The composition ran as
follows:
"The COW is very useful animal.
THAT evening the bishop dined at
the little girls house, and her mother,
since she was very little girl, in
deed. was proud of the composition,
and requested its author to read it
aloud.
The little girl got her manuscript,
but, instead Of reading it as it stood,
she amended it on the bishops behalf
so that it ran:

nal there is except religion /"
