PEACE FOR HIM-YES AND A GOOD BIG ONE
| SAYS GET BACK TO YOUTH
Advice of Physical Director to Tired
Business Men About to Take Va
cation Worth Needing.

Business men about to start on their
summer vacations are advised to read
dime novels, smoke cornsilk cigarettes
and act like kids" again, by DR.. Louis
r. Welsmiller, physical director of the
West Side Y. M. c. A. of New York.
His prescription for the regeneration
OF business-worn members of the as
sociation has been posted all over the
associations building. 1t reads:
Forget your dignity, throw away
your staidness, and be a kid again
a wholesome, fun-loving, boisterous,
dime-novelreading kid-during your
vacation. Many of you men, when
youngsters, used to think it great fun
to sneak out behind the barn, with a
cigarette made of cornsilk and brown
wrapping paper. II won't hurt you to
try the same thing again. You won't
be able to smoke enough to hurt your
self, and there's no danger Of contract
ing the cornsilk habit. ...
Dime novels make good summer
reading. They are next to the Bible
for vacation reading, but take the BIZ
BILE along, Of course. Many great men
read Nick Carter, Jesse James and
like writings for relaxation. Most Of
you men have come to New York and
have made good Help yourselves to
make good again next winter by be-
ing boy again on your vacation.

STRANGE MARKINGS
IN CROSSED BREEDS
Not Only Chickens, But Ducks

on Breeding and Feeding.

II IL odd the strange markings we
get when crossing most of the varie-

II the rooster of first breed is mated
with second, and spotted rooster of
second breed Is mated with hens of
the first. Not only this, but the shape
OF the first may be bulky, while that
of the second is long and gangly.
Ducks, too, show strange markings
when crossed, sometimes the cross
looking exactly as some of our oddly
marked ducks that, as far as we know,
do not enter at all into the past breed

Result, always a white chick with a
black spot somewhere ON its coat

Some people like to line breed, but

Too much Importance cannot be
placed upon the maintenance Of till
age, in Its relation to the profitable
production OF small fruits. In the
case Of the newly set strawberry bed,
this work should begin as soon as the
plants are set
A tool that is almost indispensable
is horse weeder. This work is start
ed with this tool as soon as the plants
are all in, and we use 1t more or less
during the growing season. One of
the chief values OF this tool is that
the teeth work the ground up close

Ing the new plants the use of the
weeder must be discontinued until
such time as the rows are filled out
and the plants well rooted. Then the
weeder may again be used until culti-
walton is discontinued in the late sum-
mer or early fall.
The maintenance Of tillage is impor-
tant from four points of view: First,
moisture conservation. Moisture is as
important to the plant growth as is
plant food. The presence of an abun-
dance of plant food in soil will avail
nothing II there Is no soil moisture
present by means of which this food
may be taken up by the roots of the
plants and carried to its various parts.
Continuous cultivation secures the
dust blanket which checks the upward
flow Of water holding In the soil and
plant life. BY this means a newly set
strawberry plantation may be carried
through the severest drought.
AS secondary result of this dust
blanket protection, ideal conditions are
maintained in the soil for the proper
working of the soil life and that loose
condition of soil maintained so neces.

Proteina, which is a product Of soy
beans. is now taking the place of meat
in many western poultry yards. Soy
beans are rich In protein. People
often ask what are the meat foods
used In the poultry business? How
must feed them, and how often?
Well, there are meat scraps, which
may be flesh or liver, boiled and cut
in small bits. Some of it is horse
meat, some the bits of meat left about
any beef shop-pork, beef, mutton.
Some Of 1t again is the refuse OF chick
ems about the poultry killing houses.
Next is meat meal, dried blood, dried
fish, fresh cut bone, skim and butter
milk. Meat scraps contain highest
per cent Of protein. Some poultry
keepers feed the animal foods, unless
1t may be milk, but three times a
week, giving each fowl two table
spoonfuls at meal Others give this
amount. or half. every day in the
mash. Milk can safely be fed every
day. Some poultry keepers. going in
heavily for winter eggs. keep meat

FINLAND.

The Russian government has deter
mined to use all its power to prevent
Finland from competing in the Olym-
pic games at Berlin as nation. Cen
eral Steyn, the governor general, will
soon issue decree dissolving the Fin
nish OlyTSic committee. This action
is partly due to the general Russian
policy of suppressing national aspira-
tions, partly to desire to have Rus-
sia make a better showing at Berlin
than she did at Stockholm in 1912. All
who attended the games at Stockholm
will remember the contrast between
the splendid delegation from Finland,
and the far inferior representatives OF
the Russian nation. The Films APP
peared under their own flag as sep
arate body. with great assemblage
OF athletics, gymnasts and swimmers.
while the Finnish women who took
part in the two last branches Of the
sports were, like the women from
the other Scandinavian countries, one
OF the most attractive features OF the
occasion. Among the Is prize-winning
nations Finland stood fourth with 81
points, only Sweden. the United States
and Great Britain beating her-while
Russia ranked only fifteenth, with six
points to her credit Throughout the
meeting there was constant friction
between the Firms and Russians. The
Russians resented the appearance Of

as though she were an independent ma
ton. The trouble eliminated in a
scene in the royal box at the stadium
during an evening concert of singing
societies, when the Finnish choirs
sang one of their national hymns
which contained reference to Russia
as the "oppressor," and Russian
grand duke with his officers felt called
upon to leave the box with ostenta'
ton. Whether the Russian govern
ment will be able to prevent the Films
from running their own show at Der.
lin remains to be seen. M. Isyolsky,
the Russian ambassador at Paris, Is
said to have requested the Olympic
committee to refuse to recognize Fin
land, or to receive the Finnish dele
gate, Baron Won Willebrand, but his
arguments were without result The
only way by which Russian officials
could carry their point would be to
prevent the Firms from going to Ber-
lin. II they could induce them to go
under the Russian banner Russia
would be one Of the formidable com
petitors among the nations.

sary to the freest and fullest root de-
velopment
BY the same means soil aeration is
also preserved Thorough work in the
maintenance of tillage also prevents
weed growth. Weeds in strawberry
crop are in every sense robbers. They
rob the plants of food, moisture, air
and sunshine. 1t is possible, too, that
the question of kinds of weeds acts
as poison to strawberry plants. Weeds
should be kept out Of a strawberry
bed because of the appearance Of
shiftlessness their presence there i'm
parts, IL for no other.
Maintenance of tillage, too, pre-
serves that necessary ideal condition
of soil which causes the new plants
to root quickly and easily. This is no
small consideration.
In the case Of strawberries we aim
to keep about two inches of the sur
face soil loose, except near the crown.
Here we do not stir the soil more than
an inch deep. In bush-fruit culture
we cultivate three or four inches deep.
Cultivation should begin in bush
fruits as soon as the ground can be
worked up mellow and continued un-
til the berry harvest is over. the mid
die or latter part of August.

ponds upon the nature Of the soil and
frequency of showers. Soils of clay
nature require more and deeper Guilt

at any time during the growing sea-
son, no matter how frequently the soil
has to be stirred to prevent this.
