ers one has during the winter.
Do not select plants that have
bloomed profusely during the summer,
for it is against nature to expect them
to keep 1t up during the winter. Above
all, after deciding which plants shall
be potted for the winter display, keep
all the buds pinched out. Do not let
a single blossom develop until the
plants are established in their winter
quarters.
Do not leave plants in their beds
until forced by cold weather to take
them in. Plan to pot them while the
weather will permit having the house
open, making the change a gradual
one, for plants lifted and taken at
once into closed, fire-heated rooms
must show the effects of the treatment
and will need weeks and weeks In
which to regain their beauty.
Another thing to be considered is
this: Plants growing in the open
ground make a root-growth that very
often goes far beyond the limits of
an ordinary pot or tub. To crowd these
roots into q pot too small for them
is to bruise them and cause decay.
The better way, by far, is to cut down
all around the plants with a sharp
knife or spade, ten days or two weeks
before the plants are to be potted.
The sharp, clean cut heals quickly,
and II the soil is well watered (soaked)
before attempting to lift the plant,
one gets a complete ball Of sound
roots, well-covered with soil that goes
into winter quarters with very little
evidence of having been disturbed.

rately will seem like little thing, but
each has a decided bearing on the
beauty of the midwinter floral display,

How Much Radium?

Efforts to determine the amount of
radium in the ocean have Eeen few.
Prof. s. J. Lloyd OF the University
of Alabama finds that about thirty
samples of sea water have been test
ed. taken from the Irish and English
coasts, the North and South Atlantic,
the Mediterranean, the Black sea, the
Arabian sea, and in his own deter
mination from the Gulf of Mexico 200
miles south of Mobile. Discarding ex-
IRENE results, with maximum so
times greater than the minimum, it is
concluded that the total radium in
the sea somewhat exceeds 1,400 tons.
AS rivers contain little, 1t is assumed
that this supply cones from uranium
in the sea, which must reach total of
nearly 4.2OO.0O0.00e tons, making ura-
mum in sea-water comparable in guam
tity to gold.

Feeding and Attention Are Of Much

tiers and Plenty Of Sunlight.

Keep the following points in mind:
1. Feeding and care are as import
ant as breeding in producing a good
hog Plenty of good feed and care
may make a fairly good hog out OF
a runt, but lack of it will always make
a runt out of good pig.
2. Young pigs must have a dry bed
and plenty of sunshine.
8. Begin feeding the pig as soon as
he will eat, and keep him growing
until he is mature.
4. Always keep plenty of clean,
fresh water where the hogs may drink
at any time.
5. The more milk sow will give
the faster her pigs will grow.
s. Lice prevent hog from doing
well.

For instance. the r. F. A.-Royal field

The unkindest Interpretation is that
put upon the letters R. A. M. C.-Roy-

SAILOR 1CAME BACK"
ROMANCE OF THE SEA AS RE-
LATED BY THE WRITER.
Cupid Triumphed in the End, Despite
Effort of Father to Separate His
Daughter From the Man
She Loved.

Some 80 years ago sailed with a
brigantine hailing from New Eng
land town. The skipper had an eight
een-year-old daughter, his only child,
on board, his wife being dead.
The girl became friendly with one
of our ordinary seamen about twenty
years old, a clean-cut chap, who al
ready had his masters papers. One
night, when the young fellow was at
the wheel, the skipper came on deck
and found his daughter standing
alongside of him, with her arm around
his neck. The skipper became angry,
hit the boy, and sent him forward, and
would not allow him to come aft
again, although the girl told him she
was engaged to the boy.
Now began a trying time for the
boy. One day the young fellow, goad-
ed to desperation, defended himself
when the skipper struck him. This
was committing an objectionable act,
as a skipper has almost unlimited
power on his own vessel.
The boy was put into irons and
when we arrived at Rio Janeiro, our
destination, the harbor police took
him to shore. / must state, to the
shippers credit, that he did not prose-
cute the boy, but of course his berth
was taken by another man when we
left Rio.
Five years passed. was still with
the same skipper and so was his
daughter, but she was not any more
the laughing. happy girl she was be-
fore.
We had loaded pitch pine in Bruins
wick, Ca, and were again bound for
Rio. Nearing our destination, we
were caught in storm. The vessel
rolled awfully, the cargo chafed back
and forth and we soon knew that we
had fire in the hold. We took off the
main hatch to try and put out the fire,
but as soon as we got it open the flames
burst out, and we had to take to the
boats.
This happened at night. The YES
sci burned for two hours, when there
was no more left of her. We stood
by her, thinking the flames would
draw some other vessel to our assist
ance. At daylight we saw fore and
after" near by. In short time we
were alongside The shippers daugh-
ter was the first up the ladder and /
was close after her to prevent her
from falling backward into the boat.
The skipper Of this vessel, a young
fellow, stood at the rail and helped
us to the deck. The girl locked at him
and he at her; then they fell into each
others arms and the girl cried from
happiness.
The young skipper was the boy her
father had treated SO shabbily.
Strange to say, the vessel was bound
for Rio, too, and he arrived there
once more securely bound, but not
with chains this time. The wedding
was celebrated in Rio and the bride
went with her husband on his vessel.

PRESENT PLANS FOR FUTURE
BEAUTY
By EVA RYMAN.eAILLARp.

0T EVA nv
We who grow plants in our rooms
do so for the beauty of their foliage,
flowers, or both, and get pleasure from
them to just the degree that we can
bring them to their utmost perfection.
To attain this with plants of any
kind) one must know their character
istics and requirements and consider
whether available conditions in the
home are adapted to the plants de-
sired.
If plant standing in the open beds,
or in sunny, southern windows, is
making grand showing of flowers,
or brilliantly foliage, do not
get one like it expecting the same re-
suits unless it can have similar con-
ditions. The same results cannot be
secured If the plant is put into a
shaded or northern window.
On the other hand, primulas and
other plants that produce perfect flow
srs in cool, semishaded rooms, will not
prove satisfactory in a place adapted
to those needing more tropical condi-
tons. The plant-lover who expects to
have all sorts Of plants grow and
bloom in the same window will GER
tainly be found wondering why some
of them do not come up to expecta-
ton.
Even the texture of the foliage
needs to be taken into consideration,
for rough-leaved plants that are injured
by frequent washings have no chance
to develop beautiful foliage in a room
where furniture needs busting every
day.
Space is another factor that makes
for satisfactory window gardening. for
certainly half dozen plants developed
to perfect form and good size are vast
ly more beautiful than twice that num-
Der of deformed specimens crowded In
to the space.
The question as to whether plants
should be turned or not is frequently
asked, and some people say: "Oh.
don't turn them. they will not bloom"
and so on. After years of working
among plants l hold this opinion on
the subject: Plants grown solely for
beauty as seen from the outside will
serve the purpose better If never
turned, leaving foliage and flowers
drawn toward the glass, but ordinarily
they are grown for the adornment Of
the room and the enjoyment Of those
inside, and should be turned often
enough to keep them symmetrical In
shape, for a lop-sided plant showing
all Its stalks Ito those in the ROOM,
Is not very ornamental.
Very often plants are bedded out
for the summer and then 'potted for
the winter garden window, and almost
as often the potting is delayed until
the plants must be taken in or fro
zen; and the result is a lot OF plants
that need a good share Of the winter
In which to recuperate.
August is none too early to decide
which plants shall be taken into the
window garden. and their treatment
from the time Of the decision should

trim up these waste and idle places
before the volunteer growths get too
far advanced.
1t is good plan to bring the sheep
from their pasture once or twice each
week through the summer and fall
and give them opportunity to trim up
the weeds. 1t is very valuable for the
health and thrift of the sheep.
"a change of pasture is good for
sheep" and there is nothing better
for the suppression of the extra
growth of pasture and weeds than
sheep.

PLAN FOR DEHoRNING CALVES
Caustlc Potash or Soda Will Do the
Work SatisfactoriIy-Small
Amount Will Kill Horn.

Many dairymen make a practice Of
dehorning their calves with caustic
potash or soda. Others would if they
thought enough about it. Take the
calf, say few days old, scrape the
button or skin over button where
horns are forming until quite red,
then apply the caustic. There is no
need of getting it anywhere else than
on the button, as very small amount
will kill the horn. However, the skin
must be broken in order to be eff
fective.
A certain dairyman has three
heifers, one hornless, one horned, the
other with one normal horn and the
other showing flush with the skin,
but not projecting beyond it. These
results were due to different degrees
of treatment. The hornless heifer
was first treated, but friend drop
ping in when the second calf was
being treated, objected to the amount
of irritation of the skin over the but
ton. saying that the treatment was too
severe and cruel. The owner, there
fore, let up somewhat, being new to
the treatment, and as a result one
horn was not affected at all and the
other only stunted to the amount in
dictated. The third heifer the friend
treated with the result that the horns
were not stopped, but grew as much
as ever.

KILLING OFF THE cRIcKETs
Poisoned Bran Is Recommended for
Combating Pest-Paris Green
or Arsenic Are Favored.

(By GEORGE A. BEAM, Kansas Exper-
iment Station.)
To combat the black crickets which
often are pest, use poisoned bran
mash. This is made by mixing a
pound of bran and one ounce paris
green together in a pan. and adding
three ounces strip Of molasses and
some orange peel mixed in one and
one-half pints of water. A small
amount OF this damp mash should be
put in shallow pans or dishes and put
behind heavy furniture or in other
places frequented by cricketsN
Another good bait is made of un-
cooked vegetables, like carrots and
potatoes, chopped up and poisoned
with paris green or arsenic. Be very
careful in using this poison.

CARING FOR THE COLT
Young Animal Requires More
Protein Than Older Ones.
Determine on Good Ration and Feed
Observation-Disclosures Demands Strong
Heavy Horses-Give Them
Chance to Exercise.

y 81 b =
A stunted colt can never be expect;
ed to develop into as large an individi
uaI as the one literally fed. In feed
ing coltit is first necessary to deter
mine what constitutes balanced RAJ
ton. When the animal is young it re-
quires more protein than one, two or
three years old. The older the colt
gets the less protein is required. Hav-
ing determined a good ration then
feed literally, but do not feed so much
that 1t will remain in the manger from
one feeding time to another.
A colt should weigh at one year Of
age about half what it will ever weigh,
ing the second or third year cannot
make up for what has been lost during
the first year. The market demands,
strong heavy horses and sometimes
the difference in price that is paid for
two horses, one weighing 1000 pounds
and the other 1900, will amount to
nearly dollar pound. 1t is there
fore most important to get strong
heavy horses and the foundation for
this increased weight is laid in good
breeding and liberal early feeding.
A young colt often begins to eat of
the hay and grain in its mothers
manager when it is only two or three
months old. This should be encour-
aged by lowering the feed box or build
ing separate one SO the colt can
easily reach it. When feeding the
