Plants Mixing.

You say that cucumbers and can
taloupes will not mix. know
that they will, for years ago when
planted close together in my garden
they mixed and were worthless.
And you say sweet potatoes will
not mix, and 25 years ago | planted
red potatoes and yams side by side
and they were mixed color. There
is no guess about this"
/ grow cantaloupes and cucum-
bers side by side every sum mer and
always get good cantaloupes and
good cucumbers. You can use the
pollen of canteloupe OH cucum-
ber bloom, and the seed will make
cucumbers and not a hybrid. The
change in color in sweet potatoes
is no evidence of mixing, but SIM
ply natural sport and the potatoes
were still yam and red potatoes.
You can cross sweet potatoes only
by getting ripened seed from bios
SONS that have been fertilized by
the pollen of another variety. But
sweet potatoes seldom make seed
except in the tropics, and do we
not grow them from seed, and
hence there is no crossing, for
plants do not cross by their roots.
Sweet potatoes will often show red
dish streaks when there are no red
potatoes around. Nancy Hall very
commonly has the reddish streaks.

Hubbard's Recipe.

Elbert Hubbard said at SO he had
never consulted a physician and
never was sick an hour in his life
He thought a man ought to live
five times the length Of time be
spends reaching maturity, which is
20 years. That would make us
all 100 years old at death. His
recipe for living a hundred is this:
First-:Deep breathing in the
open air with your mouth closed.
Second-Moderation in eating;
simple dishes; Fletcherize; eat fruit
every day, especially bananas.
Third-Exercise at least two
hours in the open each day, walk
ing, working in the garden, playing
with the children.
Fourth-Sleep eight hours in a
thoroughly ventilated room.
Fifth-Drink all the water be.
tween meals you care to.
Sixth-Don't bother to forgive
your friends; just forget them.
Seventh-Keep busy. 1t is a
beautiful world and we must and
will and can leave it more beautiful
than we found it.

In Loving Remembrance of a
Sweet Little Babe.

About noon May 2sth, the death
angel entered the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. w. McKie and snat, he'd
from the arms of fond and loving
parents one of their sweet little
twin babes, HOWARD, aged l3
months. But this blessed little
sunbeam could be spared only a
short time from the portals of
heaven, and the angel band came to
bear the precious jewel home, for
little HOWARD was too pure and
bright to dwell in this sin-cursed
world. His mission is ended and
now he is clasped in the arms of his
Savior watching and waiting for his
parents.
Precious Howard thou has left US,
From this world forever gone,
We should not call the back
From thy Fathers heavenly throne.
No, dear darling, not for millions,
But will pray to meet thee there
In thy Fathers glorious mansion,
From this world of toll and care.
No one knows how we do miss thee,
Precious darling from US flown,
We weep and mourn for thee,
But thou art forever gone.
There will never be sorrow
To wrinkle thy sweet smooth face,
For God has taken thee
To his holy resting place.

Bees and Their Benefits.

Bees are very useful insects, and
honey is a most excellent food.
Just why more farmers do not keep
bees is not very easy to answer.
Perhaps it may be that many do not
know much about them and are
therefore afraid of bees.
The honey bees produce, as valu-
able as it is, is not all the benefit of
keeping bees. These friends of the
orchard help distribute pollen on
the stlgmas of the pistils and thus
fertilize the flowers. Unconscious
ly these busy workers in their
gathering up to store honey are
also helping nature reproduce the
species.
Surely every fruit grower should
have a few hives of bees for honey
and for their help in distributing
pollen.-Farm and Ranch.

The Dust Mulch.

The crop yield and moisture
content of soil are closely rela-
ted," says T. E. Keitt, chemist of
the South Carolina Experiment Sta
tion and professor of soils at Glenn
son College. THE common field
crops require from 800 to 500
pounds of water for each pound of
dry matter grown, hence the neces-
sity for reducing the loss of water
through surface evaporation. This
can be most economically accom-
plished by the maintenance of a
dust mulch"
Prof. Keitt proceeds to explain
how to get dust mulch and how
it does its work.
"A perfectly dry dust mulch" he
says, docs not have to be very
deep to be effective. In practice it
is found that the breaking of the
first two or three inches of surface
soil forms an effective mulch, but
sand mulches may be thinner than
clay mulches. The mulch should
be no deeper than is necessary for
the reduction of evaporation to
minimum, for the top soil is gener-
ally richer than the lower soil and )
the thinner mulch can be made
and maintained effectively, the
greater the root range of the plants.
The principle involved in the
functioning of dust mulch is that
the capillary water is drawn from
soil particle to soil particle by sur
face tension until it reaches the sur
face of the soil and is evaporated.
The plowipg of the surface to the
depth already indicated, by means
OF a scrape or sweep, disturbs the
arrangement of the soil particles
and the disarranged particles blank
et' the surface and prevent the loss
OF moisture to any considerable ex-
tent.
1t is necessary to renew the
mulch as soon as possible after
each rain, because dampening rear.
ranges the particles in such a way
that capillarity will be re-estab-
lished. Farm and Ranch.
