Paris green costs more than twice

ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES
Don't SOW any seed in cold, sticky
soil. It doesn t pay.
The Alaska or some other smooth
pea is best for earliest planting.
It is said that $4,000 acres Of aspa-
ragus are grown in California.
Onion sets and seed should be sown
as soon as the soil can be worked
nicely.
Phlox may be set out as soon as the
ground is in shape. Do not set peonies
in the spring.
trees or lawn trees. They may con-
tain insects or disease.
1t will soon be time to begin spray
ing in the orchard. Is everything in
readiness for it, Preparedness counts
here.
The Market Growers Journal of
March Is has some interesting articles
on strawberry-growing in different
parts Of the United States.
When ordering vegetable seed for
the home garden, get varieties of the
best quality, although they may not
be the best in yield.
Watch for cedar apples IAN orange

This may be carried to apple trees and

The growth of rhubarb may be has

Put up a bird house now. It does
not need to be elaborate. It is only

more if it is rough and rustic. Have
it face the east or south if possible.

branches give shade in summer and
some protection from wind in winter
It is quite free from insects and dis

SMALL. GRAINS ARE GIVING LOW
TESTS

When we say that all small grains,
especially wheat and oats, are germin-
ating poorly this year, we should hard
ly have. to say that all cereals should
be tested before planting. It is, at
any rate, safe to advise extra care in
grading seed and in making germina-
ton tests before planting this spring.
It will also pay to treat grains for
smut, fax for wilt, and potatoes for
scab. It is also we'll to remember that
time is money when spent in this kind
Of work.-C. P. Bull, University Farm,

MATCHING TROUBLE DUE TO
- NEGLIGENCE

1ncubators holding from $50 to ESQ
eggs have given best results here,
says F. s. Jacoby If the Ohio agricul-
tural college. Their operation is more
definite and certain than that of ma
chimes Of different sizes.
During the Matching season, Mr.. ia
CODY says, one may reasonably expect
to get 70 per cent hatchings if the
stock is healthy and care is taken in
handling the machine. Most instances
of incubator failure are due to poor
ventilation or improper regulation of
the temperature in the room in which
the incubator is kept.

HEN LAYS LITTLE AFTER THIRD

PORCELAIN Is BEST LINING FOR
ICE BOX

With refrigerator time drawing
near, the Division Of Home Economics
Of the University of Minnesota sounds
a warning as to the refrigerator and
its care-important factors in the
health of the family.
The lining Of the refrigerator
should be smooth-free from seams
or visible soldering and with rounded
corners. Galvanized iron as a lining
is almost impossible to keep clean and
the white powder so often noticed on
a zinc lining is chemical poison
oxide Of zinc. White enamel is prone
to scale if it covers zinc base, tile
lining cracks, and glass breaks easily.
Porcelain, however, does none Of these
things.
There are "friendly'' and "un-
friendly' bacteria which affect food,
and there is deal Of difference be-
tween the two when shut up in the
family ice box. One changes the
taste without creating harmful condi-
tons; the other creates ptomaines
and whole family of ills. If you are
not quite sure which is which, you d
better ask. It will be worth your
while as the housekeeper and the
guardian Of the family health.
In the meantime insist upon pure
ice. It can be had. IT there is an
odor, look first to the cleanliness of
the box, next to the condition of the
food and, if the odor persists, get af-
ter the ice man.

Assurances Not Fulfilled.
What has actually happened In tho
year which has since elapsed has
shown that those hopes were not JUS
tilted, those assurances insusceptible
Of being fulfilled. In pursuance Of the
policy Of submarine warfare against
the commerce of it's adversar1es, thus
announced and entered upon by the
imperial German government in de-
spite Of the solemn protest Of this gov
ernment, the commanders of German
undersea vessels have attacked mer-
chant ships with greater and greater
activity, not only upon the high seas
surrounding Great Britain and Ireland,
but: wherever they could encounter
them, In q way that has grown more
and more ruthless, moro and more in.

straints of any kind, and have deliv.
cred their attacks without c0mpunc.
ton against vessels Of every national
ltyc and bound upon every, sort Of er.
rand. - ..w '......
Great liners like che Lusitania and
the Arabic, and mere ferry boats like
the Sussex have been attacked with
out a moments warning, sometimes
before they had even become aware
that they were in the presence of an
armed vessel Of the enemy, and the
lives Of nonoombatants, passengers
and crew, have been sacrificed whole
sale, In a manner which the govern
ment of the United States cannot but
regard as wanton and without the
slightest color Of justification.
&! No Limit to Destruction.
No limit Of any kind has, in fact,
been set to the indiscriminate pursuit
and destruction of merchantmen of all
kinds and nationalities within the wa
ters, constantly extending in area,
where these operations have been car
ried on; and the roll of Americans who
have lost their lives on ships thus at.
tackled and destroyed has grown month
by month until the ominous toll has
mounted into the hundreds.
Duty 10 to Warn Germany.
I have deemed 1t my duty, therefore,
10 say to the imperial government that
Il it is still it's purpose to prosecute
relentless and indiscriminate warfare
against vessels Of commerce by the
use Of submarines, Notwithstanding the
now demonstrated t1npossibility of con-
4ucting that warfare In accordance
with what the government of the
United States must consider the sacred
and indisputable rules Of international
law and the universally recognized
dictates Of humanity, the government
Of the United States 10 at last forced
TO the conclusion that there is but one
course 1t can pursue, and that unless
the imperial German government
should now Immediately declare and
effect an abandonment of it's present
methods of warfare against passenger
and freight-carrying vessels, this gov
ernment can have no choice but to
sever diplomatic relations with the
government Of the German empire
altogether.
