No, the Democratic party will not
be saved by the European war. If
you would know what our condition
will be when the war ends, think of
what our condition was before that
war began, If you think these nations
are so impoverished that they cannot
again turn to work. Those millions
of men now fighting are better able

lives. . > Their factories are
there; their plants are there; they
know themselves better than ever be-
fore. They are better disciplined,
more alert, keener, stronger, better
physically than ever before, in the
main, and they are ready to turn
great national energies into the pur-
suits Of peace to pay their war bills,
to produce up to the limit, to send
their goods throughout the world.

Among the number were forty-three

CONSTRUCTION OF NEST BOX
in Cold Climates It Must Be Tight
and Warm Enough to Keep Lay
ing Hens Comfortable.

Where poultry houses are too small
to accommodate all the fixtures com
fortably. some poultrymen practice
the plan of having the nest boxes out
side of the partition wall. The nest
box is made Is inches wide and the
same in height and as long as desired.
Partitions are placed to allow Il to
10 inches for each nest, according to
the size of the breed kept The nest
box is attached to the outside of the
house with strong hooks and screw
eyes. The cover is hinged, and fitted
with pitch sufficient to shed water,
and is covered with roofing paper.
In cold climates the entire construc.
ton of the nest box must be tight and
warm enough to keep the laying hens
comfortably when on the nest In hot
weather the nest box cover can be
elevated to afford a ventila.
ton. In some cases this plan of nest
box is quite convenience as well as
a saving of room, as the eggs can be
gathered outside the poultry house.

its full depth and turning the soil
to break up the clods. Heavy soils
should never be worked when wet.
Overzealous gardeners, ready to seize
the first warm spell as a favorable op-
| portunity to go out and work the
! heavy clay soil before it is dry, are
not only wasting their energy. but are
1 doing damage to the soil from which
1t will take years for it to recover.
To determine when heavy soils are
ready for blowing a handful of earth
should be collected from the surface
and the fingers tightly closed on it. II
the ball of compacted earth is
dry enough for cultivation it will fall
apart when the hand is opened.
How TO Fertilize.
The soil in the average backyard
IS not only lacking in plant food, but
also has been packed until it is hard
and unyieldfng. To loosen up such
soil and make it suitable for garden
produce requires that careful atten-
ton be given to its preparation. After
spading the Enclosure thoroughly, the
upper three inches should be made
fine with the use of hoe and rake.
Stones and rubbish should be removed
and clods of dirt broken The surface
should be marked off for planting in
conformity with the general plan OF
the garden.
Barnyard or stable manure is the
best fertilizer because it furnishes
both plant food and humus. An appIi-
cation at the rate of from 20 to 30 tons
TO the acre of well rotted manure is
very satisfactory. This should be ap-
piled after blowing or worked with a
spade, and distributed evenly over
the surface and later worked in with a.
hoe or rake. On many soils it is adj
yisable to apply commercial fertilizer.
especially phosphate. in addition to
the manure. An application of 800 to
900 pounds of acid phosphate to the
acre is usually sufficient. If addition
al potash is needed, which is often the
case with sandy soils, this may be eco
nomically supplied in the form of
wood ashes. If the wood ashes are un-
leached they should be distributed
over the garden, using 1000 pounds to
the acre. If they have been wet. or
leached, 1000 pounds should be used.
An application of 100 pounds to the
acre of nitrate OF soda may be used in
the spring to start the plants before
nitrogen in the manure has become
available. 1t should be borne in mind
that commercial fertilizers will not
yield good results unless the soil is
well supplied with humus. Sod OF
other vegetation which has overgrown
garden spot may be used to advan-
age. 1t should be turned under with
plow or spade and will aid in light
sning the soil and providing humus.

BODY Of VILLA IS
FOUND IN GRAVE
NEPHEW OF cARRANzA CLAIMS
TO HAVE SECURED BODY OF
BANDIT CHIEF.
Claims That Villas Death Was Due 10
Amputatlon of One of His Leqs
and That the Identity Of the

Mexico City.-Villa's dead BODY has
been dug up out of a two weeks old
grave by Carlos Carranza, nephew Of
General Carranza, the first chief of
the constitutionalists, and is now be-

soldiers to the city of chihuahua. This
information was contained in a tele-
gram received by the war department
Sunday afternoon.
According to the dispatches thus
far received Villas death was due 10

necessary by wounds received by him
In the lighting around Guerrero. After
being desperately wounded he was
carried by his followers to the town
OF Temosachic, where the amputation
was performed by village doctor.
AS soon as the bandit chief could
be moved he was carried south to the
town of Cusihuiriachic, thirty-nine
miles distant. Here, according to the
story, he fingered for few days, suf-
fering greatly before death ended his
career.
The identity of the wounded man
had been kept secret from the vii
layers and he was buried at night, SO
as to attract as little attention as pos
sible.

the constitutionalists to the grave Of

Young Carranza and an escort were
detailed to accompany him and body
was dug up by them and, according
to telegram was identified as that

SEEDING AND PLANTING TIME
Farmer Who Starts Just Little Behind
Is Almost Sure to Remain So
During Entire Season.

1t is quite an item to get all the
work done in good season on the farm.
Especially is this true of seeding and
planting.
OF course, there is danger of being
too early and the getting of the seed
in the ground while it is cold and
wet; at the same time. in a great

the spring little behind will nearly
always be just little behind all

HAS INSPIRED
GREAT ARTISTS
Subject of the Resurrection Al
ways One That Has Called
Forth Their Best
Efforts.

TTHE Christian artist. about the
fourth century, when he made
III his first hesitating attempts to
treat the subject of Easter,
carefully refrained from showing
the risen Lord at the moment of
resuscitation. With a proper rever-
ence for the Scriptures, he refused to
show what they did not reveal. He de-
p1cted an empty tomb, watched by the
roman guard, or visited by the holy
women. A sarcophagus in the Lateran
museum simply shows a labarum, or
Roman standard, under which the
Keepers are fast asleep. Even the tomb
is only suggested. The Louvre has a
bas-relief in silver-gilt which formerly
belonged to the Abbey of st. Denis.

Sav1or's empty tomb to the two Marys.
A more realistic representation is

which may be seen upon an early sar-
cophagus, preserved In the church of
ST. Celso at Milan.
This ehaste reserve, which was CON
tent to depict only what was described
by the Gospel narrative, was main /
tanned by Christian art until the thir-
teenth century, when, under the influ-
ence OF the Renaissance, men began to
paint the actual resurrection itself.

effect. There is an early representa-

appearance to Mary Magdalene, by |
Duccio of Siena (1255-1319), who, |
with Giotto of Florence, first attempt |
