MANS SHORT TEPM or LIFE
In Comparison With Other Animals
He Does Not Nearly Live Out
His Allotted Time.

A rule which holds fairly true among
the higher animals is that an animal
lives five times as long as 1t requires
for his muscular system to reach Its
full strength. The dog Is fully devel-
oped at between two and three years
of age, and lives fifteen years. the
horse reaches his prime not later than
five, and If he escapes overwork and
i'll usage. lives to be twenty-five and
even thirty. In fact, the rule seems to
be an understatement OF animal ex-
pectation of life, rather than an over
statement.
The one conspicuous exception Is
man, who seldom reaches his full mas
cular strength before he is twenty-five
and counts himself living ON borrowed
time if he passes the age of seventy.
If man were as well circumstanced In
this matter as the horse, dog or cat,
his average term of life would vary
from one hundred and ten to one hum
bred and twenty-five years.

IN THE HOME GROUNDS
BY EBEN &. RExFoRp.

This month will be busy one for
the gardener. There will be plants to
put out, weeds to pull, insects to kill
quite enough to keep one at work
most of the time.
| do my transplanting on cloudy
days, If possible. but If the weather
persists in being snnshiny, ! do the
work after shutdown. Before lifting a
seeding, | apply enough water to
thoroughly saturate the soil in which
it is growing. If this is done, the
young plant can be moved without ex-
posture to the roots, and it will receive
no check whatever, but will keep on
growing as if nothing had happened
to it. But allow its tender, delicate
roots to be exposed to air for ever so
little time and you run serious
risk of losing your plant.
If this does not happen, it will re-
ceiye check from which 1t will take
long time to recover.
One cannot be too careful with any
thing as delicate as Seeding plant.
In bright weather newly transpIanted
seedlings will require shading for a
day or two. ! cut out a circle Of
coarse brown paper, about a foot
across, make a slit to the center on
one side of it, and fold the paper over
two or three inches, running wire
out and in through the folded part.
This wire serves to hold the paper to-
gether and acts as a support for the
little brown paper umbrella.
1t should be at least twelve inches
fong-long enough to insert in the
ground close to the Seeding, and hold
the paper cone well above the plant it
is designed to protect. This kind of
q covering keeps the sun away from
the plant, but does not interfere with
free circulation Of air about it.
What kind of a support are you 60
ing to give your gladioli? Tying their
stalks to sticks gives them such stiff
and prim appearance that | always
feel sorry for the poor plants. A stick
in the center of cIump does not
furnish a really satisfactory support
to the stalks on the outside Of it, and
hoop supported on sticks is open TO
the objection of being only little
better than nothing.
Here is my plan-and one that
works well, and can be easily carried
out. / take a strip of coarse mesh
wire netting of the size OF the bed
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1915-07-29

/ containing the gladioli and stretch 1t
over the plants before they begin to
send up their flower stalks. / support
it Oh stout stakes that project about
eighteen inches above the surface OF
the soil. using enough of them to keep
the netting level all over the bed.
This is the season for making war
fare on the enemies of the rose. II
one would have fine flowers he must
make up his mind that he's got to fight
for them. / use an emulsion of soap
and kerosene.
It is very necessary that the appli.
cation should get to the under side Of
the leaves and the inside of the
bushes, where the insects are likely
to hide away; therefore it will be well
to have someone assist by bending the
bushes over and holding them in that
position while the application is being
made.
Worms, slugs, green lice and the
rose-chafer can be kept from injuring
the bushes If the emulsion is applied
thoroughly and frequently.
AS soon as my Ii1acs are past the
Towering periods, go over the bushes
and cut away all the seed clusters.
The result isl get fairly good crop
of flowers on what is generally consid-
cred the "off year" of this excellent
old shrub. If 1t is allowed to develop
seed, it generally has few flowers ex.
cept on alternate years.
Speaking of lilacs reminds me tc
say, that | do not indorse what some
people say about this plant being a
nuisance because of its habit of send
ing up so many suckers from it's
| roots.
That it is prolific in this respect
| admit, but there is no good reason for
allowing them to grow until you have
thicket of bushes. Give your hoe
blade the sharpness of knife by filing
it to keen edge, and go over the
ground about your lilacs at the sprout-
ing season, and shave off every sprout
that shows its head above the grass.
You can do this just as easily and rap
idly as you can cut off so many weeds,
and by doing it you can keep your
lilacs from spreading all over the
yard.
These bushes are nuisances only
when allowed to have their own way.
Give them the attention they need
and they are easily kept under con-
troll. The secret of success consists
in not letting them get the start of
you.

the boy on the farm. The government
planned well. The idea has resulted
in revolutionizing agriculture.
"This is what caused me to appeal
to the boys in the interest Of good
roads. My plan is to have every rural
school lay out stretch of good road,
from quarter to half mile in length,
leading from the schoolhouse, to plant
fruit trees on either side and to i'm.
prove the road | believe that one
such piece of model road in each com.
munity will arose so much interest
and so much pride that communities
will vie with each other in road i'm.
provement.
I'm this manner, having the hearty
cooperation of the state superintend-
ent of public instruction, an educa.
tionaI campaign can be started in the
schools OF our state that in time will
become most important factor and
be the means of perfecting the consoli.
dated rural school system throughout
the state ! sincerely believe that as
much interest can be aroused, and as
many benefits be brought to the young
people as are coming to them through
the statewide movement of the or
ganization Of clubs to promote the
growing of corn The two movements
will at least harmonic, and neither
will be in the way Of the other.
THE plan, as now outlined, is to or.
ganize good road and tree-planting
club in every rural school in the state,
have the county or the state highway
engineer visit the schools, following
the organization of the clubs, and pro.
coed to lay out one-fouTth or one-half
mile of road leading from the school
house. In every instance the school
club shall assist in the survey, the
laying out of the road, in securing the
easements from the AUDITING property
owners The club boys shall carry the
chain, set the grade stakes, the drain
age stakes, learn just how plans and
profits are made, and be taught that
this piece Of good road will be used
for generations to come.
"The club members shall be included
WnIe the road is actually Delng Dullt,
when it is properly drained, graded
and crowned, how culverts are placed;
what the size of culverts should be,
according to the topography of the sur
rounding country After the road is
completed it can ge kept up through
the use of light wooden drag at a
nominal cost, and this work should
also be done by the boy club mem
bers.'
