party at the Gymnasium, which was made
most attractive with Halloween decora-

A very charming affair of last week was
the Halloween Dance given at Madison
Institute on Friday evening. The spacious
hall and parlors were beautiful with fall
flowers, pumpkins and leaves, and during
the merry hours frappe, candies, nuts and
cakes were served. The music room was
converted into a ball room, where the
young people held high carnival till twelve
o'clock, when they reluctantly departed
for their homes.

One Of the prettiest musical events of
the fall season was given by Mrs. H. B..
Hanger at her beautiful country home,
Arlington, on Saturday afternoon from 3
to o'clobk All of the music clubs of the
city were invited and brilliant program
was rendered. The music room was lovely
with lavendar chrysanthemums and smilax,
while the dining room was equally attrac-
tive with decorations of yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS and ferns. Following the program
a menu of chicken loaf, hot rolls, cheese
straws and coffee were served, with tiny
minis in the form of yellow pumpkins.

Pig CLUB ENCOURAGED
TO Use UP THE CORN

Washington, March 13-Officials of
the department of agriculture, having
had so much success with their corn
clubs, are encouraging boys of the
country to form pig clubs. Through
the corn clubs the department has
been teaching the boys how to raise
corn and through the pig clubs it will
teach them how to use that corn to
advantage.
1--WE have organized two states,
says George NJ Rommel chief of the
animal husbandry division of the de-
partment of agriculture, Louisiana
and Alabama, and we are now organ
izing Georgia. In Louisiana more
than 1000 boys are organized in pig
clubs; in Alabama 10 counties have
been organized: in Georgia several
hundred boys are enrolled.
THE department has been interest
ing itself in boys pig clubs about a
year, If we get slight increase in
appropriation from Congress at this
session we shall be able to employ
FIVE more men on the work and that
win carry it along more rapidly,
Our plan Is to work in selected
counties, organize them thoroughly and
then permit the work to spread to 9th
er counties 1t costs about $4,000 a
year to keep an agent of the depart
ment in state engaged in this or
= ganization work,
ut is my opinion, and that of depart
mental officials generally, that these
boys and girls clubs contain the be
ginnings of one of the finest things ev
er devised for the upbuilding of our
| agriculture. There Is no doubt but
one OF the greatest needs OF our farm
ers is cooperation. 1t is very difficult
to persuade adult farmers to pull to
gether, and to repose confidence in one
another. In these clubs, made up OF
boys and girls, we are illustrating how
cooperation pays, and encouraging
trust; and the lessons thus learned
will be put into practise when these
children have grown up and assumed
the higher responsibilities. The work
is one of the most important that if
now being done for American agricul
ture, and it should be extended
throughout the entire country.
"As rapidly as we are given funds
by Congress, we will extend the work
think there are pig clubs already IN
Oregon and Wisconsin, while poultry
clubs have been started in Utah. There
are also potato clubs in several of tbs

hedge is to be planted, and the line of
enclosure must pass beneath trees, the
Amoor privet will prove more endur-
ing than the California privet Privet
should be planted in trenches one foot
deep, the soil having been enriched
with dressing or with bone-dust. The
plants are set in March before the
growth has started. Some prefer set
ting the plants in a double row, as it
gives more compact bace during the
first few years of its growth. After
that, it matters not whether the hedge
row is single or double. In the double
row method, the rows are set about
six inches apart, and the plants about
IL inches apart in the row, each
plant being opposite the intervening
space between plants in the adjoining
row. The plants should be set a
little lower in the trench than in their
former location and when ont over
two years old, should be cut back to
l. inches.
A young hedge is trimmed three
times during the first year, to induce
plenty of lateral growth Each sue
ceeding year the trimming is done
twice-aon in early spring, and again
in late summer or early fall. To Sc
cure the square trim, so much seen, a
line is stretched along the proposed
edges and the shearing done along
this guide.
Plants of California privet one year
old may be bought for about $50 per
hundred, and two-ear-old plants for
about $50 per hundred.
Arborvitae is of much slower growth
but, being an evergreen, is more
beautiful the year through. These
plants are set about 80 inches apart
for hedge that will ultimately aver
age 40 or 80 inches in height. This
hedge is kept in form by being clipped
over in March and in July, The shear.
ing must never be close, as this plant
will not bear cutting below the foliage
area, making new growth only at the
surface.
Hedges of Norway spruce are digni
fed and beautiful enclosures for large
garden areas exposed to bleak winds
These plants are set about four feet
apart.

SET OUT The PLANTS
FOR HEDGE IN MARCH

Whether it be hedge, fence or a
stone wall, the quality essential to it's
beauty is its relation to its surround.
ings, and this relation may be pleas
ing contrast or harmony which rem
ders the enclosure an inconspicuous
part of the general surroundings. This
relation to its environment must be
logically emphasized. Where the gar
den is lower than adjacent grounds, a
wall which supports the bank and is
continued about the garden area is a
fitting enclosure, says Suburban Life.
On level grounds, hedges blend
easily with the general scheme, and
are an excellent shelter from bleak
winds. OF all enclosures, the fence is
the most difficult. 1t requires careful
taste TO select design adapted to use
and the general scheme of beauty.
AS a setting for delicate-hued flow
ers, a hedge of arborvitae, privet or
low-growing trees, is unsurpassed;
but, for small garden areas, the ever
green hedge presents some difficulties
1t may draw too severely upon dry
soils, or shade too much of the limited
space. For large gardens, these diff
culties are not important, as the
space nearest the hedge may be a
walk or a sodded resting place. The
form of the hedge is important. In
cases where trees and shrubbery are
massed in natural effects, the severe
lines of the clipped hedge are effective.
Where formality holds sway in the
garden itself, the enclosure, if hedge,
may be unconventional in FORM but,
where wall or fence is used, its syle
must be in keeping with the treatment
of the formal garden. Where flowers
and shrubbery are given natural treat
ment, greater freedom is allowed in
the enclosure. A rustic wooden fence,
or a rubble wall covered with tangle
of vines, is entirely in keeping with
such style.
Before deciding upon a hedge, one
must consider the climate. With one
or two exceptions, evergreens will not
endure locations near salt water. In
such an instance, California privet
serves admirably, as it is not exacting
as to soil or climate. Where privet

I'VE started all this work in the
South because there the departments
cooperative work among the farmers is
already organized, and it was the place
where, for this reason, we could get
quickest results; but it is work that
cannot be local or sectional. One
part of the country needs it as much
as another, and all should have it at
the earliest possible date"
Mr., Rommel talks very interestingly
about the Morgan horse, which gen
Grafton or more ago was one of the
favorlte breeds in the United States,
but which since that time has declined
considerably in popular favor. 1t is
the idea of departmental officials that
the Morgan breed is one of the very
best for certain kinds of farm service,
and that it should be used more wide
ly.
Il think the department has made
manifest to the country the great val.
ue of the Morgan horse" says Mr.
Rommel 1--WE have in the Morgan a
type of horse that is very uniform,
and the attention we have attracted
to it is again bringing it into favor
The Morgan is especially valuable un'
der the agricultural conditions which
prevail in the hill sections of New
England"
