When three years old these colts
were worth $3.50 to $500 each. Colts

worth only S125 to $40 each. Thus
a difference in value Of S125 to S160
was due to no other reason than the
care given to the horses as colts.

urnes City Improvement.

The American City, a publication re-
viewing municipal work throughout
the country and promoting civic de-
'velopment, urges that cities in this
country formulate a th~ree-year i'm
lprovement program Immediately fol-
lowing the termination of the Euro
'pean war. 1t points out that such a
plan will serve greatly to diminish the
ill effects Of the sudden stoppage of
the heavy operations Of munitions and
other factories in the country and the
consequent throwing of thousands OF
men out of employment for the time
being. The suggestion is a good one,
and if generally adopted would, be-
sides accomplishing the effects above
indicated, result in many public i'm
provements that nearly every munici-
pality needs and must have in the
course of time if 1t hopes to be num-
Ibered among the "live ones"

HARVESTING CORN WITH HOGS
Economical and Practical Way of Fat.
tening AnimaIs-Also Feed Al
falfa or Cover.

Hogglng down corn is an economi-
cal and practical way Of fattening
hogs and of harvesting corn. For
best results some supplementary feed
like alfalfa or clover is advisable. If
YOU have such q field adjoining the
corn field the combination is ideal. II
neither Of these crops is available and
YOU have q stand of rape in the pats
stubble or c%ornstalks, this MAKE a
good combination. You have to plan
ahead to get this, and many farmers
SOW a little rape In the corn along IN
July, especially If there Is q thin stand
Of corn.
In the absence of pasture good re-
suits are obtained from such feeds as
tankage, oil meal or meat meal. These
can be fed as q slop or in a self-feed-
er with corn. With both available the
pig will balance the ration to suit him
self and will balance it about right.

OPEN CENTER A NECESSITY
For Appearances Sake Such a Plan
for Landscape Gardening Should
Always Be Followed.

It seems quite difficult to get the
masses to observe the most ordinary
rules of landscape gardening when
planting small places, though som OF
these rules are common to all styles OF
gardening and their observance so nee
Iessary to order that she who runs
may read" The one great fundamen-
tai law which should govern all plan
ming is the preservation Of open lawn
centers. Too many planters, having
lat their disposal but a small front
lawn, usually bisected by q walk to
the front door, feel it incumbent upon
them to plant one or two, or more
large objects, often, very often, two
large palms. Having thus planted, It
is quite impossible to stand in the
center of your landscape and view a
fine variety of plants about you, as
you should be able to do. Those who
have lived in the Eastern States will
recall seeing little openings, or nat
ural 'clearingS" in the woods, of one
or many acres. Though in the midst
of forest trees, the floor of the open
ing is inviolate, not a tree upon it.
Grass and low, Towering herbs cover
the floor, bushes about the edges;
next, small trees, and then the woods
or forest, forming a perfect amphi-
theater. Thus is the picture fttingly
framed. and one may stand in the CEN
ter and see about him the varied Won
ders of local plant life.-Los Angeles

DESTROYING VERMIN ON HOGS
Crude Oil, Mixed With Equal Volume
of Warm Water, Is One of Best
Known Applications.

Crude oil is one Of the best applica-
lions for killing lice on hogs. 1t is
sometimes used on cattle, though less
often. Use it mixed with ar equal
volume of YARN water. Apply with
rag, sponge or spray pump.
For quicker but less thorough work
it can simply be poured on from a
kerosene can and allowed to run down
the sides. For a large number of AMI
mails, use q dipping tank or hog oiler.
Crude oil makes dark stains, and is
objected to by some men who keep
white hogs. One gallon of crude car
bolic acid added to each barrel of oil
makes it more effective.
Machine oil mixed with kerosene,
half and half, can be used in the same
way. Pure kerosene is too harsh on
the skin.
Tobacco infusion is an old reliable
remedy. Soak tobacco stems for II
hours in water, using n pound stems
to two gallons water. then bring the
water to boiling for a few minutes,
and let it cool. This decoction can be
used on all kinds Of animals, applied
by hand or as q dip.
With all these preparations, the
treatment should be repeated after
one week. Most Of the lice will be
killed the first time, but not all the
lice eggs.

GARDENS AND CHILD WELFARE
Experiment Being Made in New York
is of Interest to the Entire
Country.

Of far more than ordinary interest
lis an experiment conducted this spring
lin New York. There, under h Oil
Irection of the International Child We'll
fare league, and with the cooperation
Iof state and federal departments, a
practical demonstration of the value
Iof v~acant-lot gardening for children IS
Ibeing made. At first it will be con-
fined to WeStchester county, where 1t
began in February under the guidance
Iof President Jarvis of the Connecticut
School of agriculture. Outlining the
purposes of the experiment, an officer
of the league says:
"We believe that to abolish chllo
labor we must do constructive work.
lit has been found by actual practice
that where children have taken up
hardening they car earn more in a
Isummer in that work than they can
Fduring an entire year in a factory. Inc
garden products of the children are
used first for the family and the IT.
plus is then marketed.
when the parents find that the
children can make more money in
this way they will be willing to allow
them to remain longer in school to
prepare them for better positions. In
the meantime the children have been
building character as we'll as building
themselves up physically. Taking the
children from the factories will lessen
the number of the unemployed. There
are now 100000 children in the fac
tories and there are 100000 unem-
Iployed. When we are able to take
the children from the factories we
will leave their positions for the adults
who are now idle"

WILSON STRIKES
 RESPONSIVE CHORD
IN SUBSTANCE HE ASKED IF WE SHOULD FORCE NATIONS

WASHINGTON, April 14.-At a Jeffersonian banquet last evening. President Wilson, in substance at least, asked his audience whether we should go to war in order to force other nations to respect us. He said in part: "Are you willing to fight when humanity coincident with our interests are involved and withdraw when this purpose has been served?" He was interrupted with shouts of "Yes, yes"
 From the presidents speech, the American people may we'll infer that in the event Germany is found guilty of sinking the liner Sussex. drastic action will likely follow un- less Berlin can show good faith in promising to be more humane here after and severly punish the con- mander of the submarine that sunk the steamer.
