LAST LAUGH IS WITH FROGS
Boys Who Have Hunted Them VIII
Fully Believe That This Article
Contains truth.

Did you ever creep up cautiously,
quietly and politely behind a big
frog so as not to disturb his medita-
tions-with a club in your hand |?
And then did you ever lift that club
and bring it down with all your
might on the spot where the frog
used to be? OF course you have, saws
a writer in the American Boy. Now,
how did YOU account for the frogs
moving on just when you want him
to linger? It's provoking after
you've got your feet sopping and
your clothes muddy; but the most
provoking thing about it is the calm
ness of the frog. He sits there on his
lily pad and pretends there isn't a
boy within a mile. And he keeps
right on pretending till your club is
an inch from his nose-when he goes
away from there. 1t is all a put-up
job. That's the way frogs amuse
themselves. You think you're hav-
ing fun hunting frogs, but as a mat
ter of fact the frogs are having fun
fooling boys. Probably you went out
in the morning with your mind all
made up to come home with a nice
mess of frogs legs and surprise the
folks. All day you wallow in the
mud and bang away with your club
at frogs that are laughing at you till
they nearly split their sides. BY the
time it begins to grow dark you have
in your bag a couple of immature
froggies whose ineXperience allowed
them to laugh a second too long. Two
frogs for a days work! Anyhow,
you figure, there'll be enough for
mother to have for breakfast. That
consolation lasts till you take them
into the kitchen. Mother looks at
them and edges away. "Take those
nasty toads right out of th&'ouse
Immediately" she says. AndNAen,
like as not, the frogs back in the
pond have another laugh.

Manaels for Cows.

Mangels are good cow feed, but are
not of high value as a horse feed.
They contain about nine per cent Of
dry matter and 81 per cent water, IL
per cent protein and six per cent car
bohydrates and have nutritive ration
of 1855. They are valuable as sucou-
lence in feeding milk cows. a very i'm
portant consideration when animals
are being fed on dry hay or fodder
where one has no silo to keep silage
in. The mangels are far more valuable
for maintaining the healthfulness Of
the animal than for the food in them.
Carrots are the best horses root feed
in preference TO all others and the
sugar beet for swine and turnips TO-
sheep.

STORE MANURE FOR GARDENS
Best Practise Is to Place Fertilizer In
Obscure corner-Spade and
Turn Frequently.

A common practise is to manure the
garden every year, late in the fall, or
before planting in the spring. no fur
Their attention being given. This prac-
tise, however, is not the best.
The manure for the garden should
be kept in large box with lid, or so
screened that flies cannot enter it,
Manure heaps are the natural breeding
places of these pests and IL they are
allowed to remain near the house, I'M
covered, will prove a great nuisance.
A good plan is to use a very close
wire screen nailed to a frame with
hinges for the top. The manure should
be spaded often on the top so that the
water from the clouds OF the sprin-
king pot may penetrate to all portions
of it,
If kept in box a spout should be
placed in one corner, at the bottom, so
that the water may drain into sunken
barrel.
This will supply liquid manure
which can be used at all seasons when
vegetables and flowers are growing.
The manure in the box should be
worked over once or twice a month,
working the bottom to the top SO that
the entire heap may rot.
Manure may be kept in this manner
II the boxes are placed at the farthest
point in the garden from the house,
and If surrounded with vines their
presence will never be noticed from
the dwelling.

CLOSE TO NATURES HEART
Glory Of the slerras Could Not Help
but Bring Inspiration to
the Poet.

1t would be well for many Of our
poets Of American nature if they
could be purged and strengthened in
Redwood canyon, writes Henry S.
Candy in the Atlantic. For here one
cannot he content 70 pipe; one cam
not blink the immeusity Of the world
or the scope and sweep of natures
plan. The work Of wind and water
and heat is clear; the great trees
grow by law where moisture lets
them; their seeds die in the slopes
which the swing Of the earth or the
sun has made sterile for their kind.
In the placid home country of the
lowlands, or in the hacked and
5rush-grown forests of the East, the
imagination is easily dulled or frozen
by realizing that the cliff is only
worn calcium carbonate, and the tree
compound hydrocarbon. Here one
comprehendS without dlsllluslOn-
ment the immutable laws of matter.
Here the symbolic beauty of the
great trees carries the thought into
further speculation; drives it from
the petty sentimentality Of the mere
nature enthusiast into serene
breadth. A French decadent would
write verse as noble as beautiful in
the Sierras-if indeed he could write
at all. A magazine poet of the UNI
dergrowth would rise above senti-
ment and egoism. A scientist would
reach beyond facts into beauty. as is
proved by the work of such pioneers
in these splendid mountains as John
Muir and the geologist Clarence
King.

CITY HAS 1886 PEOPLE
PUBLIC BATH HOUSE IS
NOW PLANNED FOR CITY

If a movement to be fathered by
Mayor Hopkins nl&terializes, and
there is every reason that it should,
then the people of Brunswick are go
ing to have public bath house, and,
instead of adorning their bathing
suits before leaving home, or at
some friends home, nearer the wa
ter, they can go to this public bath
house and use it just as much as
they please.
For years past many Brunswick
people, especially small boys and
girls, have been going in bathing at
the western foot of Gloucester street.
This season the bathing place has
proved more popular than ever and
every day from twenty-five to one
hundred people, women and children
can be seen enjoying the pleasures
of bath at this place, which is grow
The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1914-06-12

ing more popular as bathing point
than ever before.
The conditions at the foot of this
street are ideal for bathing, afford
ing perfect safety for children and
deeper water for the more experienced
swimmers who desire to enjoy a reg.
ular swim. During the recent moon.
light nights several large parties
have been made up, and one night it
is estimated that more than fifty
people. were seen enjoying the surf. .
Mayor Hopkins stated to a News
representative yesterday that he was
going to, endeavor to secure an ap-
preparation Of two or three hundred
dollars from council with which to
erect public bath house, which
would be a great convenience to the
people of the city generally and it is
expected that the move will meet
with public favor.
