T T P in the cold north pole coun-
try six little snowfiakes
started out to play. From
behind their snug shelter in the lee
of great snow mountain they frol-
licked out into the open, and there
they met a wind. Hello, Friend
Wind" they called laughingly.
Come play with u.s. We are going
to have a fine time today"
That invitation sounded very good
TO Mr. Wind, for he was just in the
humor for playing, so he blew out
into the open, too, and primed him.
sell for a frolic.
Now, that nice Mr.. Wind never in
the least suspected that all the
snowhakes wanted of him was ride!
He was not a suspecting SORT of
person, and he thought the snow
flakes were exceedingly nice and
friendly to want to play with a
great, grown-up fellow like himself.
For a little while the snowf1akes
and Mr.. Wind raced back and forth
across the open ice fields; played
tag and catch and had a lot OF fun.
Then, when they were all getting
their breath for another run, one
little snowflake said, very casually,
of course, Say! wouldn't 1t be fun
to take a ride on Mr.. Winds
back"
Mr.. Wind, who never dreamed
that the snowfiakes had been think
ing Of that very thing all the time
and had been getting him in good
humor before they spoke of 1t, said
cordially. Surely, that is a fine
idea! How did you ever think Of
it? I'd be proud to take such nice,
kind, little snowfiakes for a ride
especially after you have given me
a good time!" So he bent down
low to the ground, and the six
little snowhakes climbed up on his
broad back, and away they all sailed
through the air.
After they had been riding about
an hour, Mr.. VIVID remarked, Il ex-
pect you will want to go back now,
so | guess I'll turn around"
"Oh. not yeti" exclaimed all six
snowfakes in one voice. ''Please,

We want to go longer and see more

through the air was his regular
work, and he got tired OF 1t some-
times. But he was willing to be
generous, so he blew on toward the
south.
Over ice fields and ice-bound riv-
ers they went; over forests and
brown meadows and plains. And
again the wind suggested return.
And again the snowfiakes, selfish
little things that they were, begged
for more riding. I'VE want to see
more of the world" said they. Take
us south-as far as you can go!"
"All right" said the wind to him.

now, "I'll take them SOUTH" So
he blew straight into the sunny
southland where the warm breezes
melted the selfish snowflakes into
raindrops and spilled them down
into the ground!

Canning Peaches.

Peaches may be canned by Ell
Their the ordinary open kettle
method or the cold pack method.
Although not in such general
use the cold pack method saves
time and work and results in
fruit Of better color, flavor, and
shape, according to Miss Bah
Bell and Miss Addie D.. Root of
the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture. In a recent circular pub

directions for canning peaches
by this method.
Select peaches Of uniform ripe
ness; scald and plunge them in
to cold water and the skin can
be easily removed. The fruit
may be canned with the skins on

in they give a flavor to the
fruit which is desired by many.

MAKE YOUR GARDEN
PLANS IN TIME
Save Time And Energy BY Having
Long Rows And Proper
Placing.
e. F. STODDARD,
lryland Agricultural College.

Maryland Agricultural College.
Long before the time of seed plant.
ing, the size of the plot should be Sc
cured and plan of the garden drawn
to scale. This will enable the grower
to figure out just how many rows of
vegetables he can have, and also just
where each vegetable will be planted.
Then when planting time comes, the
work can proceed without further dili.
Guilty. An architect always draws
plan before he builds house. Is 1t
not just as important for the gardener
to plan his work beforehand? The
exact plan Of the garden will depend
upon the personal tastes of the owner
and will be different for each individ-
ual
Whatever the size Of the garden may
be, it should be oblong in shape, that
is about twice as long as 1t is wide.
In the farmers garden, paintings are
made in long rows, wide apart, to per-
nit of horse tillage as much as Is
possible Here every effort should be
made to reduce hand labor to the
minimum, for time is more expensive
to the farmer than space. The main
effort should be to produce the best
yields with minimum expenditure OF
labor, regardless of the space required.
Twenty long rows require less turning
of the horse at the ends than thirty.
five short ones and this means time
and energy saved. Time and confu-
sion will be saved il vegetables are
grouped according to their cultural
requirements. For example, row
containing parsnips and satisfy, or
parsnips, late carrots and satisfy,
would make good combination. But
a row containing parsnips, cabbage
and spinach would be a faulty COM
bination 1t would be well to place
the root crops together; the cabbage
crops in the next space and tomatoes,
peppers, etc. In another space. Many
men deem it advisable to run the rows
north and south when possible. tall
crop like corn should not shade low
growing crop which requires great

should be planted along the outside of
the garden where they will not inter
fere with the preparation of the land
for the annual crops.
Some gardeners begin to plant the
earliest vegetables at one side and
proceed across the garden as the sea.
son advances. This makes 1t easier
to harrow the implanted portion at
any time desired and thus keep 1t free
from weeds and in moist friable con.
dition. Other desirable features Of
this plan are; all similar crops in any
row require the same amount and kind
Of tillage; crops occupying the land
about the same length OF time may be
planted together: after early maturing
crops are harvested 1t is possible to
prepare strip of land to plant late
vegetables if desired.

AVOID SPREAD OF INFECTION
Thorough Distinction Is Essential to
and Efficient in Preventing
Contagion.

In any outbreak of infectious dis
ease among animals thorough disin.
lection of the premises is essential TO
preventing the spread of the conta.
gion. Certain substances, such as
fresh slaked lime or unslaked lime in
powder form, chloride of lime, car.
bolic acid, corrosive sublimate, for.
malin, formaldehyde gas, and com.
pound solution of cresol possess the
power of destroying bacteria with
which they come in contact. To make
the use of such substances of value,
however, the work must be done with
the utmost thoroughness.
In the disinfection of stables and
premises the following directions
should be carefully observed:
l. Sweep ceilings, side walls, stall
partitions, floors, and other surfaces
until free from cobwebs and dust.
2. Remove all Accommodations of
filth by scraping, and if woodwork has
become decayed, porous, or absorbent.

4. All refuse and material from sta.

OLD NAMES FOR NEW SHIPS
Applications Of Famous Sea Fighters
May Again Be Used In Amer
lean Fleet.

Should congress provide for the con.
Struction of several battle cruisers the
navy department will in all probability
name the new ships after several ia
nous old frigates which helped to
make American history, the Cincinnati
Times-Star states.
The starting of new class of ships
in our navy makes possible the carry
ing out of this idea. Under the pres
ent system of naval nomenclature bat
tleships are named after states. cruis-
ers after cities and torpedo craft after
naval heroes. Golfers bear more or
less classic names, while underwater
craft have been designated by useful
but not significant letters and numer-
ais. Communities of course have
taken great interest in ships bearing
their names, but at the same time the
present rule has been responsible for
the disappearance from the navy lists
of many names which are alive with
historic interest and the flavor of
naval tradition.
III the navy department puts into
use the idea now under consideration
Americans will in a few years glory
in the spectacle of Bonhomme Rich
ard, Constellation or maybe Hart
ford once more going to sea under the
flag. The famous old Constitution is
still carried, although nominally, on
the naval lists. AS long as she will
float Americans will insist that she
keep her honored place. But there
are still left plenty Of historic names
which should be perpetuated and hon
ored In our modern navy.

SECURE THE CLEANEST MILK
Barns Should Be Kept Unpolluted and
Yards Free From Manure and
Litter of All Kinds.

These rules are given for the clean
est milk obtainable with only little
more than ordinary care: Barns should
be kept clean and well ventilated, the
yards free from manure and litter and
drained 80 that no water will stand
there. Before milking, the cows
should be brushed around the TANKS
and uddcr with a stiff brush; this
should be followed with damp cloth
which will remove many OF the dust
particles and so dampen the others
that they will stick to the COW during
the process of milking. The mixer
should keep his hands dry during the
milking. Milking with damp hands
is a filthy process and is apt to cause
the teats of a COW to chafe and be-
come source of annoyance. The milk
should be removed from the barn or
milking pen to milk house just as
soon as possible after 1t is drawn. The
milk should be separated and the
cream cooled as soon as possible after
milking.
