DandeIions VIII Be Popular.

Dandelions will yet become popular
as an article of diet with the people.
They have always been so abundant
that they have not been appreciated.
Now some eastern canning establish
ments are advertising for dandelions
to can. They are about to be put on the
market, as a staple article of food, to
be had at any time of the year. II
they are so good for factories to can.
they are also good for the home gar
dener to can. Our schools are now
teaching the science of canning. which
will be help in making the dande-
lion green available. One of the great
advantages in favor of this vegetable
is that it is extremely hardy. It grows
as far north as the shores of the Arc
tic ocean. Some of the seed houses
carry dandelfon seeds. Anyone, how
ever, can gather his own seed, and it
should prove interesting to experiment
along the line of raising dandelions
from native seed on very rich ground
and under garden conditions.

WINDOW BOXES

have some plants growing, and no pro-
visions have been made for boxes for
them, don't forego the pleasure be-
cause 1t seems to be late in the sea.
son.
Use Coleus instead of Towering
plants. A row of the yellow variety
about the outside of the box with scar
let in the center, win make your win
dow brilliant with color, and as these
plants are of rapid growth you will
not have to wait long for results.
They will often be found more sat
isfactory than towering plants, be-
cause their richly colored foliage will
take the place of flowers, and it will
be in evidence at all times; while few
Towering plants will afford constant
show of color.
The gray centaurea and the orange
yellow pyrethrum golden feather)
can be used with the scarlet and yell
low varieties of coleus, with fine eff
feet.
Don't be sparing of water on your
window boxes. Ninety-nine cases of
failure out Of a hundred result from a
lack of sufficient water.
Being exposed to the air on all sides,
evaporation takes place very rapidly.
Apply water by the pailful instead of
the bowlful, and there need be no
failure to grow just as good plants in
the window box as in the garden beds.

RESEARCH WORK IN AMERICA
Future VIII Witness Wider Applica-
tion of Principle Which Has Al
ready Done So Much.

Prophecy is a double-edged tool with
a peculiar facility for injuring the user,
but the activity of the present leads
one to predict that each succeeding
year will bring US nearer to the state
In which the research work of the
country will be national in both scope
and effort.
The federal government and the
states have done and are conducting
research of immense value to agrieul-
ture, the foundation of industry; but
the future will witness a more general
application of this principle-an active
national interest in industrial research,
and this will serve as a healthy sub
sidy for American manufacturers.
Research has enabled our industries
to make rapid strides. The recogni-
ton of this fact has occasioned re-
cent awakening to an increased sense
of appreciation of the need of greater
facilities for insuring the scientific de
velopment and extension of industry
and commerce and of promoting indus
trial research.

CULTURE OF HARDY ANIMALS
BY LIMA P. ROSE.


Seeds of hardy ANNALS should be
sown early, in shallow boxes or pots
and placed in a warm window, or a
hotbed. A second sowing ought to be
made from two 10 four weeks after
for a succession, as well as to pro-
vide against failure the first time.
The most convenient receptacle for
seed is a shallow box from two to
three inches deep and of any con-
venient size.
The best soil for all of the smaller
kinds is a very fine, rich, sandy loan.
The very best soil is that taken from
old hotbeds, or from old pasture land,
piled up in sods and allowed to rot
for two or three years and then mixed
with sand and little old stable ma
nure.
Give the tiny giants plenty of air
and moisture, yet rot too much water,
or they will damp off," Get pots two
inches or more in diameter and plant
the young seedlings along the edges
of the pots, SO that as soon as the
ground is warm enough they can be
easily turned out and planted singly,
as by that time they will have good
roots.
Do not cover seeds too deeply. This
is common and disastrous mistake

SmokeIess Artillery.

Engines to shoot great stones
were no doubt the progenitors of the
"catapult" of Greek and Roman.
times and the devices in use today for
hurXng hand grenades." In a recent
visit to the island of Rhodes I was
amazed at the great number of stone
balls in the edge of the sea, among
the ancient towers and battlements,
and indeed all over the island. They
ranged in size from five inches in
diameter to more than two feet, and
the largest must have weighed at
least ton. The smashing power OF
such a mass must have been very
great. Such stones are found about
the walls of Constantinople and other
cities of the Orient.-Christian Her

and such can be made at a trifling
cost.
The barn and entire group of farm
buildings, together with the grounds
they occupy. may be made to har-
monize in a general way by proper
construction, arrangement and paint
ing. The ground about the barn and
other feed and stock buildings, which
for convenience are located near the
dwelling, may, and should be, as neat
and clean as the home grounds proper.
This is both good farm management
and a mark of good taste and char
acter on the part of the farmer.
Good fences around all the hons
grounds and lots are necessary con-
venience, and keeping them in good
repair adds to the neatness and beauty
of the picture as a whole,
A four-room cottage designed after
our own ideas, in garden made with
our own hands, is better than a ten
room fiat designed by the greatest ar
chitect and set on top of a twelve
story building In noisy city.
One way to give children an interest
in the home grounds is to allow each
garden spot. Let them grow what
ever they wish and use it as they
please.

History of the Game

At one time the general use of
canes or walking sticks was forbidden
in Rome by imperial edict, except to
persons of patrician rank, thus MAX
ing it a privilege which came to be
popular among the nobility and
eventually distinction. The women
of that time carried them also, their
richly and artistically decorated canes
serving as a rod for punishment of
their slaves. The cane appeared in
England as the badge of aristocracy
in about the fifth century, but after
serving this purpose for some time
came into the hands of the humber
classes and was dropped by those of
higher social standing. It was re-es-
tablished in it's true form by the pill
grims and soldiers returning from the
holy land during the crusades, and
soon came to popularity again.

After the Luncheon was over and
the Birds had sung many songs, and
the Fairies had danced and played

Queen said:

in which Washington could not afford
to view the international situation with
unconcern.
Naval officers know the harbor as
one of the finest in the world, just as
the old-time New Bedford whalers
knew it. They know that the United
States, in due regard for its own
rights, never could acquiesce in any
arrangement by which any Asiatic
power, or, for that matter, European
power, would be allowed to convert
Magdalena bay into a naval station.
For that reason they, perhaps, were
suspicious of the nature of the pro-
posed land and colonization scheme
around Magdalena bay.
The investigation made by the state
department under the direction of Sec
retary Knox did not disclose that any
foreign government was directly in
terested in the project. A full report
was made to the senate on the subject.
Nevertheless, the senate thought 1t
wise to pass the resolution introduced
| by Senator Lodge, which was in sub
|
States would regard the establishment
of any foreign power at Magdalena
bay as an unfriendly act. This was a
notice to Mexico, as well as to Europe
and Asia.
Magdalena bay Itself is thoroughly
known to the American navy. When
President Roosevelt started the Amer
ican fleet around the world. Porfirio
Diaz seized the opportunity to show
his friendship for the United States and
to demonstrate that he had no fears of
Interior purposes on our part. He ex-
tended the hospitality of Magdalena
bay as naval station for three years.
La Paz, which is on the gulf, has
been used as a coaling station by the
United States. The station is not far
from the old cove which was the rem
devious of the Dutch pirates in the
days when the Gulf of California was
known as the Sea of Cortez.
La Paz is actually the metropolis of
Lower California. The United States
maintains a consulate there, and there
used to be a small American colony
engaged in business. There were also
some adventurous Americans who did
not know just why they, We're there.
Should the military leaders of what
exists of the Mexican army in Lower
California decide to set up dictator
ship and call it a republic, La Pa
would be the center of good deal o.
interesting news. But there would alst
be interesting news from Ensenada, OF
the Pacific coast which is much nearer
to American territory and with which
communication is much easier.
