POINTS ON TRANSATLANTIC

At this season of the year everyone
is more or less interested in the gar
den. One of the important operations
in the garden is the transplanting of
vegetable and flower plants. If this
is done rightly it ave cultivation of
the ground for some time and often
results in earlier vegetables. How
ever, the check of the growth Of the
plant in transplanting may be great
enough to offset the advantages, even
if every plant survives. The reasons
for this are generally: First, plants
are not hardened to field conditions
before being moved; second, the soil
is not made firm enough around the
roots so that the plant can absorb
of moisture, third, the top of the
plant is not reduced to compensate
for the loss of roots.
To overcome these difficulties the
plant should be given plenty of light
and space in which to develop. This
~insures sickness as opposed to the
"drawn" slender plants which are pro-
duced in the shade or under crowded
conditions. Transplant the plants
once before they are put into the field
if it is possible to do so. Then about
a week to ten days before the plants
are to be put into the field gradually
withhold water and subject them to
the outside air conditions. Soak the
bed we'll an hour or so before the
plants are removed.
Transplant in the evening or on a
cloudy day into we'll prepared soil
which is moist but not wet. Remove
a part of the leaves by twisting or
cutting them off, but use are not to
remove the central stem Of the plants
which "head". Irrigate right away if
possible but it is not absolutely ne
cessary if other conditions have been
very favorable.

A barber in a neighboring town
made the remark the other night that
he would rather shave three Germans
than one Englishman. The next
morning one of our English citizens
called at the shop to enquire the rea-
son why, and he was told that the
barber would receive forty-fve cents
from the three Germans and only ff-
teen cents from the Englishman.

later, his teacher good naturally said,

It's Worth Money.

E'each, N. D., Jan. l5.-Tom Phil

with IL coyote hides, in which he col
lected bounty, and was shipping the
pelts to some eastern house. Tom

down the coyotes and wolves along

a word from him, stop dead still. "My

ner," said he. Just four weeks previ-
GUS to his last trip here this young
hunter brought in 10 coyote and wolf
hides. ~
Bags Big Coyote.
Tom has some very thrilling expe-
riences in the course of his hunts,
and a little coaxing brought out the
following: II was hunting in the In
dian hills recently when came across
an extra large coyote; in fact, it was
more of a wolf than a coyote, but the
stockmen say it vas but a cross be-
tween the two. Squirting my horse,

imal, and in a twinkle I was On the
ground and blazing away at the beast.
For a th%ree-footed animal it covered
the ground pretty rapidly--the coyote
must have been caught in a trap at
one time or another and gnawed it's
other foot off. The first shot crippled
still another of it's legs out of com
mission. Intent on getting away,
however, the coyote 'begon to roll a
short distance down into a coulee.
When it got down there the animal
had showed itself ahead with it's one
good leg and gained refuge in an op-
ening which extended clear through
the hill. To get another shot at the
beast I was forced to enter the hole
from the other side of the hill, and
when he saw me crawling towards
him, you should have heard the wall
that he emitted. One more shot fin
ished him, however, and then I push
ed him out the sameway he had come
in. A&s M "

Geramny Big Consumer.
Germany for several years has been
the United States heaviest customer
in copper. Trade authorities here give
Germany's annual consumption of this
metal at 256, 900 tons, while Great
Britain comes next with $4,000 tons.
Germany's great industrial progress
in recent years, with her vast mill
tary preparations account for her
largely increased use of copper. Thir-
teen tons of the metal are required
for a million rounds of small arms am.
munition.
More than half the worlds copper
comes from the United States. In
1913, out of a total world production
of about one million tons, the United
States furnished $4,000 tons, Of
whic nearly $1,000 tons were export
ed to Europe. Germany's own produc-
ton is about 2 5000 tons a year.
Smuggling Going On.
The Telegraph, discussing the ques-
ton of contraband copper, says:
"We learn that Italy imported H.
900 tons in September and October
this year, against 5000 tons last
year, that Holland imported 5,400 tons
against $780,. that Norway imported s..
400 tons against nothing at all the
previous year. It may be, of course,
that these countries are getting from
America what they used to obtain in
a manufactured form from Germany;
but when we find Italy's total consump
ton of copper in 1913, only $1,000
tons per year, and that in September
and October she was importing at the
rate Of $4,000 tons per year, there is
strong ground for belief that it was

"Did you ever see such seams in any
thing as those in Marguerite's chiffon
blouse?" asked Ruth's sister, when
they had returned from an afternoon
party.
"Oh, they are horrible! And they
could have been made SO straight and
nice too, by such little bit of extra
trouble. Somebody told me how to do
this sort of scanning last week. You
put strip of paper underneath all soft
materials like silk mousselaine, chiffon,
ETC., when sewing them on a machine.
You sew through paper and all, and
while il does not hurt your fabric in
the least, it keeps your seams from
puckering and pulling and makes them
straight and firm. Then when the seam
is completed the paper can be torn
away"

thing in ones head beside nonsense, 4"

dom from crossing shown by several OF
the entries, indicating the use of pure
seed. The use of pure seed from
sources outside of this section is to be
commended, however, only when the
seed is from early maturing stock and
adapted to this latitude. One entry,
especially, which showed the effect OF
careful selection and breeding, was too
immature to merit consideration in a
contest with mature corn. Without
forgetting the unfavorable season, we
must not overlook the fact that pro-
nounced lack of maturity, even where
good breeding and selection are evil
dent, shows poor adaptation to this
section, and entries OF such corn can
not hope to compete with ripened, tho
possibly less perfect, corn.
In view of the facts just stated, my
suggestion would be that more seed be
carefully selected from corn which has
proven its adaptability, altho | would
not discourage the trying out Of other
varieties, as before. In this connection
it may be well to add that long ears
with big cobs require longer growing
season than shorter and smaller cared
varieties.
1t would take too long to go into all
the details of selecting corn for con-
test. 1t is enough to say that some OF
the entries showed that the exhibitors
had very poor judgment in the matter
OF selection. This is true in every corn
contest, however, aud mention it only
to add weight to the contention that
more instruction along this line is need.
ed. II the contest can set standard
of perfection and at the same time un-
cover just such cases of poor judgment
as have in mind, it has done much
toward the end desired.
In closing let me suggest for the con-
sideration OF the young corn growers
of the county school of corn judging,
this school to consist of days session
in some convenient school house or
hall where the work of actual judging,
grading and selection of corn can be
carried on. If such venture meets
the approval of those interested, |
should be glad to hear from them, and
it is very likely that Prof. V. M. Shoe
smith, or some other corn authority
from the Agricultural College, could be
secured to conduct the work.
