TIE Farm Gardin.


department of any well regulated farm.
The land devoted to the home vegetable
garden is the best paying piece of land on
the farm if properly cared for, besides tn;
luxury of having fine fresh vegetables for
the table as they are wanted. This is not
all, as good garden saves quite an item in
the living expenses of the farmers family,
and if there is any more than the family Can
consume. good vegetables always meet with
ready sale on the markets.
The garden should be located near the
house { possible, and when the desired
place Is found it should be SO arranged that
everything can be planted in rows running
full length Of the garden as this will premit
of horse cultivation for such plants as csbba-
ges, parsnips' rutabagas, carrots, beets peas
beans, onion sets, etc., while small stuff
such as lettuce, onions grown from seed,
radishes and other small vegetables can be
planted about eighteen inches apart and cu.-
tivated with the hand cultivator, which is a
great time saver, though there is always
some of the garedn work that must be done
with the hoe. By arranging the garden in
rows it can be more easily cultivated and
besides it is more attractive.
Good gardeners never make beds in which
to plant garden seeds, nor do they make
high hills or ridges about the plants, this is
bad practice as it tends to dry the soil out
and the plants suffer for moisture if some
part of the season become, little dry.
The garden should be rich with liberal
supply of barn yard manure, care being
taken that the manure is we'll rotted The
soil should be well prepared and made fine
and level, it should be firm but not packed
h1rd, as seed do not terminate in loose Or
c!oddy SOIL 1t always pays well to see to
it that we have our garden seeds planted III
the best possible way.
The following is few of many garden
crops that shonld be in every garden, bears
beets, peas, cabbage, carrots. syee, corn,
cucumbers, lettuce, onions, rafships, pun
pkins, redlshes, spidach, squash, turn:ps and
tomatoes Such as peas, sweet corr, lettuce
and radishes should not all be planted at one
time as it is better to plant about half of
each that is wanted and tEen about two
weeks later plant the balance CT the ground
allowed to these vegetables, in this way
when the first paintings are abc,t gone the
secoad paintings will be re:oy ,r Sc, thus
keeping longer supply OF { er truck for
the table then you would o. rwise be .b.e
to do.
The garden SHOULD he ult'v-ted often,
first to kill the weeds an &C nd to keep
the moisture in the sol, especially if the
season is dry frequent cultivation should be
the rule and at all times cultivate enough to
keep down tie weeds, IS garden vegetables
are not very good ruste.i among the weeds
and grass.
Asa rule farmers too often neglect the
farm garden thinking that til small bus
mess not worth while. As mentioned
above there is no part of the farm operations
that will pay bettn- than will the garden if
properly mgnaged

lty. A separate waist, properly selected and worn, is joy in the morning cos-| tune and with coat suit, and a. con-| venience at all times. It never looks as dressy as the whole dress but now| frocks are finished with straps over the| shoulders, and bib pieces that come up| on the waist, and give a separate blouse| the appearance of belonging to the skirt| more intimately than it has ever doneI before. Then, too, the selection of colorI means a good deal. It is worth while to| buy a chiffon or sheer goods or silk waist of color that matches the skirt| worn with it, or which is decorated with| a f1gue that matches the skirt coloring.
 For the season before us there are| innumerable charming waist materials, for never have waists been less severeI or moro fetching in make and fabric
 "So elaborate will the b1ouses be withl hand embroiderery. hemstitching anal little frills-a1l with a degree of sim plicity that is the keynote of art-thatl one big importing house has had tol supply patterns of pongee waists-in the piece, with the design for home en broidery and for cutting out stamped on the silk. These waists come with the| colors of the embroidery and, as the de- gins for the patterns are exclusive, something very fetching and chic are evolved.
 "The embroidery designs may be- wrought in embroidery stitch, or in French knots or in simple chain-stitch, which anybody can do without a lesson. The main idea is to get the color ef feet in the design. This is always sim pie and effective and may also be out lined A pretty finish is to use a mar row piping of blue on the edges of the blouse when blue silk is used for decor ative design. A days work with the needle can produce wonderfully beau tiful and exclusive effect"

nursing and in giving advice as to san- itation and hygiene but in disinfecting and preventing the spreading of dis ease. In one case smallpox is virulent in scattered hamlet some four miles from the dispensary village and as the patients need continuous attention, two of the staff have segregated themselves and are at this moment temporarily encamped in the disused schoolhouse and tending their patients night and day.

 "At each village, where there is dis pensary, arrangements have been made for winter quarters and except from financial hindrance there is no reason why the work should not continue through the winter, and until the Serv- ian doctors-few enough now in any case-are released for work amongst the Servian population.

But quite apart from any claim which the Servians may have upon us as our allies in this European fight for liberty, have these brave and untutored peasant folks no claim upon us on the plea of common humanity?

was in a conflict where the liberty of all nation was at stake. f"
 The first American volunteers were El- liot Cowdin, James J. Bach, Frazier Cur tis H. G. Gerin, Bert Hall, D. G. Mas son, Norman Prince, Andrew Rauel and William Thaw They were trained in one of the first aviation schools in France, that at Pau. The candidates are put through eight classes. The first called penguin. It has only 25 horse rower-not enough to lift it from the ground. The sole aim is to accustom the learner to regulate the motor and control the levers as in an automobile. No one can pass from one class to the next until he has shown his aptitude. The ob- servance of this rule has avoided acci- dents excepting in very small number.
 The second class uses five horse power penguin also not sufficiently strong to rise into the air. Then machine is given the pupil in which he can scarcely leave the earth.
 If he does rise he skins along in straight lines The fourth class is en- trusted with straight line flying on a six cylinder machine capable of rising about 100 feet. The fifth contingent practices turning in an aerodrome, so that pupils become thoroughly experienced in, wheel ing to right or left.
 The sixth division undertakes larger circuits at greater heights on 50 horse power machines. Cross country flying and spiral ascents and descents to a height of 500 yards are the exercises of the seventh class
 When all of these courses have been finished the pupil enters upon his last instructions, those that prepare him for his military pilots examination. He must be able to fly for an hour at a time at height of $500 feet fly trian- gularly across country landing at two different places returning to Pau within AS hours. He must also make long dis tance flights to three different points 'and return.
 The circular says: The Americans tra iped at Pau next spent sometime at Le Bourget near Paris. From this spot there rise every hour numerous aero planes which fly over Paris both day ! and night. In the dark their search lights look like, shooting stars.
 The Americans now number 12 men at the front and Ii in training. The corps has clubrooms in Paris in the Rue Pom thieu,
