CH1LDREN'S GARDEN IN a BACK YARD.
We find also that by giving the boy IL
mans job and by putting the work on
Il business basis there is no trouble in
maintaining interest. In many eases
the children have utilized every availa-
bic foot of land i'll their back yards,
but too often they have spaded up only
enough ground 10 plant the few seeds
that have been given to them or that
have been purchased.
In some cases the size of the gar.
den enterprise is limited because of Il
mistaken idea of the teacher or parent
regarding the child's ability, but more
often the number of available pennies
With which to buy seeds is the deter
mining factor.
The distribution of seeds gratuitous-
~ among children is not recommended,
except where no other provision has
been made for them to obtain seeds in
sufficient quantity to plant all their
available ground. Where children are
required to buy their supplies they are
taught the value Of money and are
given a wider business experience. One
of the chief objects Of the work Is to
cultivate in children the quality of self
reliance, and this must come from in
dependent effort"
One of the interesting features of the
work as brought out by DR.. Jarvis was
that most of the children, even the
girls, preferred raising Of vegetables.
Some of them, however, have made at
tractive flower beds, and others have
planted fruit trees, vines and bushes.

Advice to

If you dive make sure that the water
is deep enough and that there are no
old tree stumps or anything of the
sort that you are likely to strike. Care
l%essness about this on just one occa-
sion may prove very costly. You may
think Of this ninety-nine times. but
perhaps it is inst the hundredth time
that there is real need for you to think

Horns of the Deer Family.

A record of the conditions Of the
deer, moose and elk in the geological
park Of New York city proves that
their formidable looking horns and ant
lers, which are newly acquired each
year, are grown within four months.
The old horns are dropped in the
spring. The largest elk in the ZOO 'aost
both his antlers last year nine hours
apart on March n. By June q the
full length antler had grown. although
1t was still soft or lin the velvet" The

n GROWING CITY.

Everywhere the growing city
has to meet the problem Of re-
adjustment. The boy putting on
long trousers takes thought as
to his future and is better for do
ing so. 1t is equally well and
normal for the city to do these
things. and all kinds of cities all
over the world are doing it.
So it has come about that what
is called city planning has devel-
oped into one of those rare and
epoch marking world movements
that are the great milestones Of
history and that influence civili-
zation.-Charles Milford Robin

CABBAGE CAUSES
LOCAL CLERK EMBARRASSMENT

A local store which has been hand
ling California cabbage received a sup
ply from Klueny's ranch this morning.
"How much is that head worths''
inquired a customer.
"That will weigh about three
pounds answered the clerk, Judging
from his experience with the cabbage
shipped in.
Placed upon the scales il bore down
to eight pounds and a half. The clerk
looked at the scales TO see if there was
anything wrong, examined the cabbage
to see if it was loaded, and then weigh
Cd another head, which verified the
weight of the first.
The clerk was visibly embarrassed
The customer gave him one look which
not in admiration of his Judgment,
and then looked at the cabbage with
approval. BY this time all the eusto-
mers in the store were examining the
cabbage.
''That's the solidest head / eve
saw" said one, and others made simi-
lar remarks. The clerk is patriotic, and
the lauding of a home grown product
instantly relieved his embarrassment.

Future for Cranberry
Growers in Washington

THAT Washington will prove one
! of the greatest cranberry pro-
ducing states OF the Union is the be-
lief of r. j. Dalton, of the State Ag-
ricultural Department, who, at the
instance of Governor Lister has been
investigating the conditions.
Dalton has found that Washington
has cranberry bogs equal in area to
one-fourth of all the cranberry marsh
of other states combined, and the
climatic conditions on the Pacific
Coast are more ideally adapted to
cranberry culture than in any other
state.
"Of the 5000 acres of excellent
cranberry marsh in Washington,
said Mr.. Dalton yesterday, but 1000
acres are under cultivation. The
Washington cranberry is the largest
offered in the market, being the size
of a large Bing cherry and of ex-
eellent flavor. Its culture offers big
ger returns, likely, than any other
character Of farming, One acre OF
cranberries will support family, and
the production per acre in this state
is far in excess of Eastern acreage
production. Where but 75 to 100
barrels per acre are grown in the
East from 1870 TO 175 barrels per
acre are grown in Washington. The
market is also vastly in favor of the
Washington grower. The Eastern
grower gets from 81 to $S per bar
rel for his product while the Wash
ington cranberry sells at from SO to
$12 per barrel. Due also to the
very mild Winters here the Washing
ton grower has big advantage in
the amount Of work necessary to pro-
duce crops. The returns from cram
berry culture are really tremendous,
and the cranberry marsh now lying
idle in this state will in no distant
time be producing hundreds Of
thousands of dollars annually"

A Mathematical Spree.

philosopher has calculated that
a single grain Of wheat produces 80
grains and that these fifty will each
produce so grains more and so on.
Thus gain would develop in the fol-
lowing way: In the second year, $500
grains; in the third year. l25,000
grains; in the sixth year. 10, 1926, ,000,-
900 grains; in the 18th year, 224,-
140,625, 100000 grains. The third
years crop would give 800 men one
meal, leaving enough bran to feed
eight pigs for one day. The produce
of single grain in the 18th year
would suffice to supply all the world
with food.

more difficult and the results less
uniform.
Green hickory or maple wood
smothered with sawdust Of the same
material gives the best results. Hard
woods are always preferable to soft
woods. Resinous woods (pines, frs,
spruces) should never be used, be-
cause they are likely to impart bad
flavors. to the product. In the pro-
duction of Westphalia hams, Juniper
wood and berries are used.
Filling the House.
Before putting meat into the
smokehouse, take it out of the brine
and let it drip for two days. In
cases where the brine was strong, it
will be very advisable to soak the
pieces In cold water over night to
prevent a crust forming on the out
side when it is drained. Then sus-
pend all the meat below the venti-
lators so that no two. pieces come into
contact, as this would prevent uni
form smoking.
Keeping Up the Fire.
A slow fire may then be lighted,
warming up the meat gradually. In
cold climates It Is best to keep the
fire going at steady temperature
until the smoking is completed, in
from "a to 80 hours.
In Spring or Summer a fire may
be started every two or three days
for two weeks, when the meat will
be sufficiently colored.
Smoke win not penetrate frozen
meat. Flies should be excluded by
keeping the house dark and the meat
cooled by opening the doors and
yentilators.
Keeping Smoked Meats.
A dry, cool cellar or attic with
free circulation will be the best
place in which to keep smoked meats
, at all seasons, provided it is kept
dark and the flies excluded If 1t is
) desired to keep the meat for long
time, wrap it in waxed paper, ther
in muslin, or canvas, and hang II in
} dry, airy, cool place.
