WILD GARDENS.
From Nature Worth Con
sidering.

In the cleared lands there were
abundant daisies; the admirably in
tricate and formal wild carrot; gold
enrod of dozen varieties; purple as
ter, many varieties of lavender aster;
and the tiny white-lowered Michael
mas daisy, like furry of snow
flakes in summer, writes John Cor
bin, in Scribner. In the rocky under
woods grew masses of wild azalea
and of mountain laurel, and on the
woodland border clumps of hazel and
elderberry. In the high pastures
brakes of sumac, the velvet-green,
formal leaves overspun in midsum-
mer with a mesh Of deep-crlmson
cones-the whole flaming in autumn
to a rich and varied red. There were
clusters of bayberries; and, on the
broad hillsides, long-deserted pas
lures, masses of pungent sweet fern
spread slowly abroad in vast, irregu-
lar ClrCl0S-IOS0LlSS VI oOSP d wa
that burned in autumn to rich rust
color.
Everywhere lodges cropped out OF
the pasture land-in one place a
sheer cliff of granite. Moses -four
ished in all the soft hues of green,
pearl gray and brown. In the
crevices of southern exposures grew
huckleberry bushes, and shrubs OF
mountain maple that with the first
breath of winter famed scarlet, de-
pening to wine color and a golden
bronze. On the northern exposures
were many varieties of fern, some
spreading lace-like leaves in formal
circles, others minutely tracing the
irregular course of moss-filled seams.
Jack-in-the-pulpits nodded their rich
ly patterned hoods in spring, and in
autumn raised up their scarlet clubs
of seed. Everywhere the columbine
tossed to the winds it's delicate, fan
tastic flowers of light red and gold.

BetWiXt and Between.

Mrs. Philip Spowden, the English
peace propagandist, was talking at a
tea on her recent visit to New York,
about the war, relates the Washing
ton Star.
'Our Scottish soldiers" said Mrs.
Snowden, "who were sent to France
in the beginning of the war, attract
ed so much attention on account of
their national costumes that for a
time their lives were made miserable
for them. The short killed skirt of
gay plaid reaching only to the bare
knees of the Scottish regiments made
sensation among the French who
saw this old costume for the first
time"
Mrs. Snowden smiled.
There is a story apropos," she
said.
"A certain very pretty and very
smart French countess had allowed
herself to be persuaded by her Rue
de Ia Paix dressmaker to have one
of the extremely short skirts of the
1915 fashion made for her new
walking suit. Putting it on fearful
ly one morning for her husbands s
inspection, she said nervously:
"'How do you like my skirt,
dearie?'
''The count answered good-na-
turedly enough:
We'll, my pet, suppose it's all
right; but isn't a bit too long for
q kilt?'"

A week or two ago the sheriff OF
Aiken county captured an automo-
bile loaded with blind tiger liquor.
The liquor was confiscated and the
automobile was confscated as we'll.
The machine was later sold at auc-
ton to the highest bidder and the
proceeds of the sale turned in to the
county treasury. A few days later
the authorities of the town of Eas-
lev did likewise, confscating illicit
whiskey and the automobile carrying
it. It strikes us that if this course
were pursued all over the State, it
will go long way toward enforcing
the prohibition law. 1t is a notable
fact, too, that in the Easley case the
machine did not belong to the same
party as the whiskey. If it be known
that to transport whiskey, for either
oneself or someone else, will entail
loss, of the team or machine if caught,
people will hesitate a good while
before bothering with Especially
for somebody else.

SELF-FEEDER FOR PIGS
Experiment Shows That for Fatten'
ing 1t Compares FavOr,hIv With
Ordinary Hand Feeding.

The value of the self-feeder meth
of fattenir3 pigs was demonstrated in
an experiment recently carried out at
the experimental farm of the Bureau
of Animal Industry at Beltsville, Md.
The object was to determine the val
ue of this system as compared with
The ordinary method of hand-feeding.
The pigs used in the experiment
were grade Berkshire farrowed in the
fall of 1915. They averaged SO lbs
per head when the experiment started.
They were fairly uniform in size and
age, but were not the best pigs in
the fall farrow.
The handled lot were fed three
times daily, the amount being govern
ed by the appetites. The ration CIV
en- the handled hogs was composed
of parts corn meal, parts middlings
and l part tankage. The. corn meal
and supplements were mixed dry. Just
before feeding, the amount to be fed
was weighed and then mixed into
thick slop. enough water being used
to make the slop pour out of the
bucket without sticking. The feed
ing was done at and 1880 o'clock
in the forenoon and 4:3O o'clock in
the afternoon.
The self-fed lot had free access at
all times to corn meal, middlings, and
tankage in separate compartments of
self-feeder. Close watch was kept
on the feeder and supply of each
feed maintained.
Both lots of pigs were kept in dry
lots quarter of an acre in size. The
pigs were given ample room for ex-
ercise and sufficient shelter. The pigs
in both lots had access to a mineral

vide grain and forage throughout the
year.
If the weevils are not killed early
in the year, they may be destroyed af-
ter the first crop has been removed by
getting rid of all the vegetation in the
field, crushing the clods, and filling
the cracks so AS to expose the entire
surface to the sun. This is best done
by cove nj. the. field witl, dust
mulch, the dust being an, additional
means of killing weevils. Success OBJ
viouslv depends uncn doing the work
when the ground is dry and the wea-
ther war :. and bright.
The second crop may also be pro-
tected by spraying the stubble. Spray
ing may also be restored to in the
spring. From so to 100 gallons per
acre of mixture of arsenite of zinc
and water, in the proportion. of a
pounds of powder in 100 gallons, are
used for this purpose The appar-
atus best suited for alfalfa spraying
is described in detail in the bulletin.
Still another recommendation made in
the bulletin is the stimulation of the
growth of the alfalfa by cultivating
the field in the spring. This does
not destroy the weevils, but it serves
to produce larger and earlier yield
when their attacks make early cut
ting necessary.
Up to the present, however, more
farmers, are concerned with prevent
ing the alfalfa weevil reaching their
fields than they are with controlling
it in them. No one knows exactly
how the weevils spread, but certain
facts in regard to this matter have
been ascertained. It is known, for
, example, that the insects are often
found in green alfalfa fresh from the
| field and in the second-crop hay and
potatoes which have been in contact
with it. They are found also in cur
ed alfalfa hay, especially that of the
second cutting. Potatoes often are
hauled in cars upon a bedding of green
alfalfa hay, and there is danger that
the weevil may be transported in this
way. On the other hand, however,
there is no evidence to show that the
weevil spreads more rapidly along
railroads than elsewhere,
