Usefulness of Gardens.

A writer in the Southern Woman's
Magazine calls gardens "the solution
for misspent leisure in childhood"
There is great economic truth" she
says, "at the bottom Of the garden
movement, and its value has been rec
ognized long ago in European coun
tries, which have brought about differ.
ent forms of development. Austria es
tablished experimental gardens in its
rural schools as far back as 1869
Switzerland, Germany and England
have a garden course in their public
schools, while France goes farther and
maintains not only flower and vege
table gardens, but includes orchards
forestry and bee industry. The garden
movement Is of special significance in
cities where large numbers Of children
are turned out on the streets to loiter,
tease and maraud. When the welfare
workers and educators fully realize the
far-reaching value of this movement 1t
will spread like wildfire over the coun.
try.
1t is remarked that the school gar.
den movement in this country had its
beginning in Boston, but that Cleve'
lands school board has given it per
haps the greatest impetus. AS the re
suit Of 1t there are said to be $4,000
home gardens in Cleveland.

PROPER FEEDING IMPORTANT IN
GROWING CHICKS.
Necessary Elements For Body bu''d'
inp should Be Provided.
ROY H. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Do your young chicks get the neces-
sary bulk in their feed to keep their
digestive organs in good trim? DO
they get enough protein material Tor
building up and repairing flesh? DO
they get enough mineral matter with
which to construct frame work for
their bodies?
These are very important things to
consider at this time. II you do not
have too large a flock and they run on
free range they may get the necessary
bulk from grass and other green feed
on the range. They may get the pro-
tein required from the bugs, worms,
etc., they are able to pick up. These
insects may also supply the necessary
mineral matter. All you have left to
do then In the feeding line is to give
some grain and see that they have
water.
But supposing they cannot get these
natural feeds. Supposing they are
confined in small, bare runs or sup
posing the flock is SO large that the
natural feed will not 90 around. What
will you do In this case? VIII you
keep on feeding simply grains which
do not as 4 rule contain all the neces'
sary elements, or will you give them
some bran to supply bulk. meat meal
to furnish the extra protein and ground
bone to build up frame work for
their bodiesf

many organizations will send repre-
sentatives to report on the progress
the College and Experiment Station
have made during the past year in
promoting agricultural development.
There Is probably no time of the
year when greater variety OF work
can be seen In progress at the Agricul.
tural College and Experiment Station.
Crops are sufficiently advanced to
show the differences which have been
brought out by selection fertilizing,
lining, etc. As a result, the farmer
who has been told, for instance, that
top dressing of grass lands improves
the grass yield, can see for himself
the difference between the land On
which fertilizer has been applied and
that which has been left to make q
natural growth. He will also see for
himself the results OF experiments
with wheat, winter oats and other
cereals, and will leave the College at
the end of the day with better un'
derstandng of the work that is being
done for him and for his neighbors.
The men In charge Of the various
departments will be constantly in at.
tendance and will cooperate with the
County Agents and other guides who
have been selected. to bring the Varl;
GUS lines of work to the attention OF
visitors. There will be an inspection
of the dairy barns. the poultry plant,
the Experiment Station green houses,
and the hog cholera serum labora'
tories, where the farmer can gain an
idea of what Ia being done to i'm
prove live stock conditions on the
farm, to test various feeds for poultry
and in the investigating of truck and
fruit diseases that we have learned to
control by scientific methods OF spray
ing. He will also witness the demon.
stration of the use OF hog cholera
serum to prevent the spread Of that
disease. and it Is hoped in many ways
he will become familiar with the vari.
GUS methods which the Agricultural
College uses for bringing information
of value to the attention OF the coun'
try people OF tne State'
The picnic lunch to be served by the
College authorities, will afford pleas
ant opportunity for farmers and farm
women from all parts OF the State to

views concerning the work OF the

PLAN FOR CITY MANAGERS
Kansas Municipalities May Be Given
Power to Hire Expert to Look
After Affairs.

An enabling act that will allow the
cities of Kansas to name a city man.
ager to handle all the business Of
city was introduced in the senate by
Senator Howe Of Dickinson county.
Abilene, Senator Howes home, has
been operating under a city manager
plan. The bill provides for the Sc
lection of city commissioners and
mayor as under the present commits
sion government law. They are to
receive a nominal salary and are di.
rected to name city manager, who
is to serve for an indefinite time,
and cannot be removed except upon
written charges, and must be given
a chance to defend himself. All city
employees are to be named by civil
service board, except the heads OF
each city department.
The commission is to have nothing
to do but pass ordinances for the gov
ernment of the city, and the city man
ager is to attend to all the business
of the city and is directly responsible
to the city commission for his acts.
The law requires that the manager be
experienced in handling engineering
and utility problems.
The law is made optional and before
the city can hire city manager a
vote must be had in favor of the
plan.

FISH GATHER IN MILLIONS
Remarkable Schools Of Herrings That
Annually Assemble on the North
Pacific Coast.

Every summer there Is q remark
able run of herring on the north Pa.
citic coast. These fish come In such
shoals that they seem a solid moving
mass. They crowd into the lnlets

In millions by the simplest means.

ly herring.
But a better idea Of the density OF
these schools of fish is afforded by
the fact that fishing lines with hook
attached can be sunk in. the water,
and pulled out instantly with just as
many fish as there are hooks, be there
a dozen or fifty.
Tons of these herring are taken by
the fish companies and frozen in boxes
for use as bait for the halibut fisheries.
They are an excellent table fish, and
there ought to be profitable market
for them in the interior. AS yet com.
paratively few of them are shipped,
though dealers are now calling for
them.
Fishermen say the herrings seek
the bays to escape the whales. which
prey on them In certain localities dur.

Ever HIt Thumb With a Hammer?

Here Is little device which you can
make at home by which the tiniest
tack can be held without possibility OF
injury to the fingers. Take strip of
tin about three-quarters of an inch
wide and about six or seven inches
long. Shape it with small slot in one
end. Then double it, bending at the mid
die. When ready to insert the nail, put
1t into the slot, which will hold it by
its head. This gives kind Of handle by
means Of which you can hold the nail
perfectly upright while you hit it with
the hammer. OF course the holder
must be pulled away before the nail
or tack has gone all the way into the
wood. II you have not the tin at
hand strong cardboard will serve the
purpose. Try this little device just
once and am sure you will feel amply
repaid for your trouble in making 1t,
as it will prevent many bruised

Peach orchards should most certain

different parts of the State for a noun

Ii not to be cropped its management
IL very simple on level or somewhat
rolling land. 1t should be plowed In
spring as soon as the ground Is In
good plowing condition and be thor
oughly narrowed to work the soil into
good tilth. Every ten days or two
weeks the harrow should be run over
the ground to loosen It up unless =
heavy rain has packed 1t down in the
meantime, and then 1t should be har-
rowed as soon as dry enough. The
point is to keep q nne. loose dust
mulch to prevent the evaporation OF
soil moisture.
This narrowing should be continued
until about the first Of August when
as soon as weather conditions are

soil just before the cover crop seed
is sown In this way the cover crop

lizer and when this crop is plowed

Gays and makes available plant food
for the trees. The cultivation for fol-
lowing years Is about the same as
mentioned for the first year.
1t is a good practice to grow some
early maturing hoed crop among the
young trees until they begin to bear.
but extra fertiliser or manure must
be used for this crop SO the trees will
not be injured. Such crops are early
potatoes. tomatoes, melons, sweet corn
and anything which Is not late in
maturing, are best, because late cult.
vation for late maturing crops may
cause late growth on the trees and II
this growth fails to ripsn 1t may be
winter killed.
After the trees are in good bearing
the orchard ought not to be planted
to any other crop, yet this is done sue
cessfully II intelligently practiced and
plenty of fertilizer or manure Is used.
The small grains like wheat, rye and
oats should never be allowed to mature
in the orchard because they require SO
much moisture Of which they rob the
trees.

Mississippi flood water between him

holes are brought opposite each other.
one end of the back slab will lie 16
inches nearer the center Of the road

should be two inches in diameter. Care
must be taken to hold the auger plumb
in boring these holes in order that
the stakes shall fit properly.
The two slabs should b held 30
inches apart by the stakes. The
stakes should taper gradually toward
the ends. There should be no shoul-

When the stakes have been placed in

Odor Of stale Eggs.

You cannot mistake the odor Of
stale or bad eggs. To a certain ex-
tent eggs like butter are susceptible
to bad odors. Some believe that the
egg absorbs odors after being laid by
coming in contact with foreign sub
stances. For instance a kerosene
taste in eggs would not necessarily
indicate that hen had been drinking
kerosene. Eggs that are exposed to
odors of kerosene in some close back
/ room or whose shells have become
saturated with the oil will have ker.
Osene taste.
