TIMELY HINTS FOR
 THE GARDEN CROPS
Order Seeds Early From Reliable House - Inspect Hose
 on Spray Outfit.

QBy E. r. MKUNE. Colorado Agricul-
 tural College, Fort Collins, Colo)
 Put plenty of well routed manure on the garden.
 Order the garden seeds early, from a reliable seed house.
 Begin to make plans for the hot bed.
 Repair the hoes, cultivators, etc, so as to be ready when the rush comes. Tomatoes started in hotbeds will bear fruit long before those which are started in the garden.
 Take samples of all the different kinds of seed and test them.
 Examine the hose and nozzles on the spray outfit.
 White hellebore should be fresh to be of value as an insecticide.
 Use crop rotation in the garden to prevent the attack of diseases which winter in the soil.

CRITICAL TIME FOR
 A COLONY OF BEES
Owner Should See That There Is. Abundant Supply of Honey
 Feed Sugar Sirup Warm.

(By WESLEY FOSTER. State Bee h.
 spector. Boulder. Colo)
 Colonies of bees with good queens are now breeding up rapidly, and con- sequently are using large amounts of stores. Often the best and strongest colonies run short of honey first. The spring of the year is the critical time for colony of bees. The owner should see to it that every colony has an abundance of honey for it's needs. Combs of sealed honey may be taken from colonies that can spare them, or feeding of sugar sirup may be done. The giving of combs of sealed honey is recommended if there is little or no disease in the apiary, otherwise, sugar sirup should be fed Sugar sirup should be fed warm and otherwise half or two-thirds water. See that the sugar is thoroughly dissolved. Feed ing should be done in the evening so the bees will have all the sirup taken up by morning.

Though this attempt was not sue cessful. the idea was never since lost sight Of Fulton offered Napoleon a submarine of his invention for the contemplated invasion of Great Bri- tain. and a German engineer, VII. helm Bauer, in 1850, came forth with plans for a submarine by which, as stated by Burgoyne, an English writer on maritime subjects, "the solution of the problem of submarine navigation was promoted to higher degree than by any other inventor"

Taking No More Chances.

An lrvington business man was called to Buffalo, N. Y., to report to the head of the firm which he repre- stnts. After he ad arrived there, reg istered at hotel and was assigned to his room. he discovered that his pock- etbook had been stolen. While he was in deep study about this misfortune. a Western Union boy knocked on his door and left telegram. It was a brief message from his wife saving their home Tn Indianapolis. and it's contents, had been burned. The Irv- ington man then left the hotel to re- port to his boss, and In going to the office walked in the middio of the street.
 Whats the matter with ou?" said his boss when he entered the office. Looking out the window, saw you coming down the middle of the street. Are you nuts?"

taining ones bearings under water. Periscopes are used for this; that is, tubes several meters long carrying at the upper end a system of mirror prisms, reflect the image of the hori- zon through the tube to the lower prisms and thence into the interior of the submarine.
 Service on the submarine Is ex- tremely trying. In fact it puts all mental capacities to perpetual strain, in handling the apparatus and ma chinery-gauges, periscope, compass, engines, etc. Any mistake is liable to result in the death of the whole crew To this should be added the lack of exercise, and the vitiated air which is insufiiciently regenerated by compressed air during under water sailing
 Many safeguards have been de- signed for protection against subma- rine attacks. Torpedo netting would seem to be relatively most effective, though modern submarines somehow frequently manage to slide past below such netting and strike.

department may be able to assist farmers in obtaining seed from these sources. In this connection an ap- peal is made for every grower of northern seed corn, having good seed to sell, to furnish the office of corn investigations of the United States department of agriculture with his name, address, name of variety, price, and amount of seed for sale. A gen. erous response will aid the depart ment in relieving the present critical situation.
 Surprising results have been ob- tained by the office of corn inyesti- cations with seed which was very im- mature when gathered. Even if your seed was in the soft dough" stage when gathered last fall, if it was promptly dried and we'll cared for, it will germinate and reproduce well enough to make 1t preferable to south ern seed.
 Attention also is called to Farmers Bulletin 415, entitled Seed Corn" which treats the subject in more detail.

(From the United States Department of
 Aariculture)
 The frequent shortages of seed corn in the northern states are becoming more serious as the importance of the crop in this area increases. In 1903 the acreage of corn in the northern tier of states-New England, New York, Michigan. Wisconsin, Minneso- ia, the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho. and Westinghouse 6,71e,152 acres Last year it was I1,12f,000. If the in dustry is to continue to grow. say spe- cialists in the department, more at tention must be paid to the seed sup ply, and the attempt to grow varie- ties which require long season in which to mature must be abandoned.
 Varieties must be found or bred which will make a rapid growth and mature in the short period between the last killing spring frost and the first killing fall frost. When man aids nature by selecting and preserving

seed only from individuals which show promise, in several years the hab- its and characteristics can be changed considerably, and perhaps a variety which at first failed to mature may be so changed that 1t becomes suit able.
 Even when variety has been thus adapted to a locality, so that it will mature under ordinary conditions, there will come seasons so unfavora- ble that it will not mature. If only one years seed supply is gathered each year, all the work of adaptation IS lost. The proper way is to gather enough from a good crop to supply seed for two or three years hereafter. Good seed will keep without depreci- ation this long.
 Go out into the cornfield before the first killing frost, gather a good sup ply of the best ears to be found on stalks growing in competition with others; hang these ears up in some place where they will be protected, but at the same time have a good chance to dry out quickly; when dry enough to shell, do so, and put the seed away where it will not be ex- posed to too great changes in temper ature and moisture. Any man can follow the simple directions here giv- en and plant his fields every year with good, vigorous growing seed which he knows is adapted to his farm.
 The matter of seed supply is a case of avoiding trouble, rather than trying to remedy the trouble after it has arrived. If no seed of the 1914 crop Is available, the farmer is in bad shape. He must purchase his seed, and in doing this he is in grave dan- ger of obtaining either poor seed or seed of late-maturing varieties.
 Homegrown seed that has been well cared for, even though it was not thoroughly mature, Is almost cer- tain to give better results than i'm ported seed. By homegrown seed is meant seed grown cn the farm, or in the same county, or where the same i general conditions affected the crop The point to be emphasized is that the farmer in Minnesota, or North Dakota, should not send for ssed grown in southern South Dakota or Iowa. If this is done, the crop fe sulting will almost certainly be i'm mature next fall when it is necessary 10 harvest.
 An exception to this may be the dry-lund portion of the more southern states. The corn growers there are confronted nearly every year with drought. In order to grow corn at all 1t is necessary to grow early-matur ing varieties which will make" be | fore the drought occurs.

LIQUOR MEMS ARGUMENT.

Replying to the paid orators of the saloon who declare that if it was not intended that men should drink al coholic liquor God would not have created the rye, the corn, etc., from which it is manufactured, the Ameri- can Issue says: They might declare that if God had not intended men to drink booze, he would not have ere ated the wood that builds the saloon, the brass in the fixtures, the quartz melted into the goblet or the iron which, molten, makes the stove. They might carry the argument farther and say that if God had not intended men to drink alcoho, that he would not have created the mouth with which to imbibe. Until it can be shown that God created mans tongue so that he could lie and hands that he might steal, there is not very much in the argument that the Creator made corn and rye that men might make alco- hol therefrom for the purpose of pois- oning themselves and their fellowmen for profit"

BUSINESS ON SUNDAY CLOSING.

Heads of the big industrial con cerns of Chicago see a very direct re- lation between the enforcement of the Sunday-closing law and the phys ical and mental condition of their en- ployees on Mondays, and naturally they are not inclined to agree with the liquorites caustic criticism of the pur- itanical, undemocratic law and it's en- forcement. The men who manage the great industries tell us that Sunday drinking has meant lessened eff ciency, decreased mental and moral stamina, depreciated physical vigor and the wasting of money and conse- Quent worry over financial conditions.
 Our workmen now come to the plants on Monday morning with clear heads and rested bodies" said a fore man of Armour and Co.,, the big pack ing house. Tt was the complaint of all packers before the saloons were closed that many of the men either did not show up at all on Monday or reported with 'hangovers that re- duced their efficiency 50 per cent dur ing the day, and affected 1t for sev- eral days thereafter. Now the men are on hand Monday morning with steady muscles, rested bodies and minds, fit for their tasks"
 Our workmen were all on hand last Monday for the first time in years" said one of the foremen of the Illinois Steel company, the week after the Sunday-closing law was enforced. When we asked them what caused the change they said they had noth- ing to do Sunday but rest for Mon day Besides, most of them had enough of their wages left not to need to ask for advances before the next week ended
 The closing of the saloons is a boon to industry said one of the depart ment managers of the International Harvester works. When the em- ployees have had time to note it's ef- feet, they will give it their heartiest support
 The direct effect on the building trades is that about % per cent more workmen were on hand last Monday than at any time during the period l have been handling large numbers of workmen,' said member of the Con- tractors Association of Painters and Decorators.
