FEW CAN ESCAPE NOSTALGIA
Homesickness Claims Victims From
All Glasses and From Every
Variety of People.

German sailors on steamships which
are held up in New York are said tC

ness and nomesickness are the causes
hospital authorities say.
Inconsistencies finds strange victims
Army surgeons know that sometimes
it kills. Often it is the man without
a regular home who is most subject
to nostalgia. This disturbance of
soul, mind and body settles down upon
the phlegmatic, the burly the thick
skinned. 1t takes them under sunny
skies amid the earth's best loneliness
and they moan for dirty streets where
they played in childhood.
Idleness breeds inconsistencies and
active diversion cures it. 1t is akin
to melanchoIia and comes in mystic
rious ways. Probably it arises from
the biological impulse intended to an
Choir man in one place long enough
for him to take root. It's opposing In
sttnct is the wanderlust.
Explorers have confessed that the
worst inconsistencies they have known
was in the first few hours and days
of their return. In familiar surround
ings the marks Of times inexorable
progress were painfully apparent.
Changes, small and large, tortured
them by reminders of the precious
past. Some have turned in respondent
revulsion to take up their roamings
again.

TALKS UNDER THE WATER
American inventor Gives Denonstra-
ton of New Telephone in Lon
don Theater.

LondOn.-Capt Louis Sorcho, an
American inventor, gave a dempnstra-
ton at the Empire theater recently
of the practicability of a submarine
telephone which, after years of ex-
pertinent, he claims to have so far
perfected that by its means a diver in
deep water may talk with anyone on
the surface. The performance was
carried out, under Captain Sorchos
direction, by member of the staff
Of the Evening News, who, putting on
the diving dress with helmet, belt and
the rest Of the ponderous equipment,
weighing 256 pounds, had the teIe-
phone receivers attached to his ears
and descended into glass-fronted
tank with a depth of about ten feet
Of water.
From this he sent and received mes
sages to the newspaper Office and also
spoke to spectators apparently with
out difficulty by means Of ordinary in
struments with special attachments
While the demonstration was in the
tank George Graves, the comedian,
conversed with him on the telephone,
causing amusement by some personal
banter.
After two dimensions of about ten
minutes each, the experimenter was
released from his helmet and diving
accouterments nothing the worse for
his experience except that his hands,
which were uncovered under water,
were very cold. The temperature of
the water was 46 degrees centigrade

PLAN SUCCESSION OF CROPS
Not Advisable to Have Second Plant
ing of Same Crop Follow the
Ffrst-keep Land Busy.

In planning the 1ocation of crops,
consideration should be given to the
matter of succession, in order that
the land may be occupied as large a
part of the time as possible. 1t is
not advisable to have a second plant
ing of the same crop or a closely re-
lated crop follow the first Cabbage
should not follow caulifower, brus-
sells sprouts, mustard, or kale, for
many of the same diseases and insects
affect all of these crops. Tomatoes,
Elephants and peppers should not fol
low each other. In some sections
three or four crops can be grown on
the same land each year, while in 9th
er sections two crops are all that can
be grown to advantage. When crop
is harvested early in the season and
it is not practicable to plant another
vegetable for two or three months, the
land may be planted to cowpeas or
crimson clover. For example, after
crop of early cabbage it may not be
desirable to plant another vegetable
crop until late summer or autumn. In
this case it would be desirable to SOW
cowpeas or crimson clover, to be
turned under in preparation for the
fall crop.

PROVIDE BEES WITH WATER
Place Fountain Near the Hives
Honey Secured From Goldenrod
and Aster Is of Rich Flavor
(By B. L. PUTNAM.)

When you see the bees clustering
around the watering trough just pro-
vide them a fountain near their hives.
This will save time for them and
there will be no more drowned bees
and horses and other stock will not be
stuHg as they come from the field,
heated and perspiring-a fit mark for
the angry bee.
Surround a board of convenient size
with a narrow cleat an inch high,
making the shallow trough water
tight. Over this tack piece of wire
screen, being careful to leave no sharp
edges that will hurt the bees. Fill
with wat and note the enjoyment
with which the winged visitors flock
and drink with no possibility Of find
ing in it fatal draft. They will
drink lots of water now, and if you do
not furnish the pure stuff they will
hunt out the nearest cesspool for
moisture they must have.
Do not worry if your fence row is
bordered with goldenrod and aster
You may not be impressed with the
esthetic effect admired by your city
cousins, but the bees revel in the
sweets afforded and will, from the
weeds, extract supply of honey that
will go a long way toward piecing out
their winter store. Beside, golden
rod honey, when it can be secured in
quantity, is food fit for kings, being
of a rich amber hue and of superior
favor.
Remember that honey must ripen
before it is ready for market. When
first made it is thin and watery but
after two or three weeks it acquires
the consistency necessary to the first
class product.
Conversely, if kept in damp place
it soon gathers moisture and becomes
seriously damaged. A cool, dry closet
is preferable to the cellar for storing.

INCINERATI0N is BEST
Only Really Sanitary Way to Dis
pose of Dead Poultry.
TO Throw Bodies on Manure Heap Is
to Invite Spread Of Disease
Small Crematory Is Within
Reach of Poultry Man.
By R PEARL1


On every poultry plant and around
every farm there is bound to occur
from time to time a greater or less
number of deaths of chicks and adult
fowls from disease or other natural
causes.
The disposal of these dead bodies
offers problem to the poultryman.
the correct solution of which may in
many cases become a very important
matter. This is especially true in the
cases of death from contagious dis
eases. The method usually practiced
by the farmer and pouItryman for the
disposition of dead carcasses is sani-
tary in the extreme. To throw the
dead bodies on the manure pile Is to
invite the spread of the disease. Bury
ing is far from being a satisfactory
way OF dealing with the matter. IN
less buried deeply, there is likelihood
that dogs or other marauding animals
will dig out the carcasses and scat
ter parts of them on the top of the
ground.
The only really sanitary method of
dealing with dead bodies is to inciner-
ate them. The difficulty of following
this plan Is that the farmer usually
does not have any suitable source
of heat ready at hand at all times.
To meet this requirement there has
recently been devised by the expert
ment station of an eastern state
small crematory, which in point of
cost is within the reach of every poul-
tryman or farmer.
This crematory is very simple in
construction. 1t consists of a cement
base or fire box, bearing on its top

plant is almost as fine as its flowers,
and the two combined make it one Of
the most desirable plants.
l often wonder why the herbaceous
Spireas are not more extensively
grown. Certainly it is difficult to find
more exquisitively lovely flower
than Spirea with its great plumelike
panicles and airy pink bloom.

cial commentator here, because 1
only want to say that a garden with
out this flower is not living up to
its privileges"
If the Iris can be given a some
what moist location, it should find a
place in the amateur gardeners col
lection always. The German and Jap
anese varieties are simply magnificent
in cOlOring and remarkably stately in
general effect when grown in large
groups.
Every collection ought to include at
least a dozen of the most distinct va
rieties of perennial phlox. This plant

Anyone can grow it. It is a profuse
bloomeT. It comes in a wide range
of colors. Group it in order to secure
best results, but keep the lilac and
magenta varieties away from the pink
and scarlet sorts unless you want a
color discord of the most aggressive
sort.
Then there are hardy pinks, the
perennial Pea, Coreopsis Lanceolata,
Pyrethrum, Dairy, AchiIlea, all good,
easily grown and readily obtainable.

be necessary to purchase plants, but
