dered, but it does generally indicate
that the people continue to demand
improvements, and no doubt you will
find that full value in SUCH improve
ments has been provided by your Of
ficers for every tax dollar expended.
1t is natural to expect that taxes
will continue to increase in the fu-
ture, as in the past, so long as they
continue to provide improvements in
the way of good roads, efficient
schools, etc, no one will complain.
The citizens are no doubt few that
would dispense with the many im-
provements that are continually be-
ing made, and 60 back 25 years to
time when we had none Of them,
for the money it would save.

SCREENINGS MAKE GOOD FEED
Sheep Gain From Twelve to Fifteen Pounds During First Thirty Days,
 Says Ontario Station.

The Ontario experiment station has found that screenings are used in large quantities for the winter feeding of sheep, the sheep being taken from the range and fed for about 30 days. At first they are given only hay, then a small quantity (one-half pound a day) of light, chaffy screenings is add ed. Gradually the quantity of screen ings is increased until in about week or ten days, the sheep have ac- cess to the self feeders from which they eat all the screenings they caro for (about two pounds a day). At the same time the proportion of chaff in the screenings is decreased and the proportion of grain increased. Grad ually tho screenings are replaced with corn.
 On the screenings the sheep usually gain from 12 to l5 pounds during the first 30 days, after that less rapidly. It is stated that 50000 sheep will eat about two cars of screenings and a car of corn per day. Seedhouse screenings and screenings containing large proportion of broken flax are avoided. Another use that is made of elevator screenings is in the manufac- ture of mixed feeds, chiefly molasses feeds.

OUTSIDE OF UNITED STATES
Uncle Sam Intends to Build Light house on Navassa island, No
 Mans Land"

Because the Panama canal, when 1t comes into its own with the close of the European war, will refashion the trade routes of the world and lead an endless procession of vessels through waters hitherto unfrequented, the Uni ted States government is preparing to go afeld and establish lighthouse on Navassa island, a small rocky islet of Che West Indies east of Haiti.
 The light will be unique, says the Washington Star, in that it will be the only one maintained by the United States alone on land not part of it's national domain. The government Is not wholly without claim to the half mile of rock that constitutes the island. however, for a generation ago guano deposits were exploited by an American company which found it a no mans land"
 At that time the courts of the Uni ted States assumed Jurisdiction when murder was committed on the iso- lated patch of rock. and brought the murderer to book at Baltimore. When the need Of a lighthouse on the island was felt, therefore, it was not deemed necessary to negotiate with any other country, although several countries have at times claimed ownership. Congress appropriated S125,000 for the erection of the Navassa light and the federal lighthouse bureau will soon call for bids. The light will have a beam of 56,000 candle power that can be seen for 27 nautical miles.
 There is one other lighthouse that is in way comparable to Navassa. This Is the light on Cape Spartel, the Moroccan headland across from Gibral- tar, which has been maintained since 1867 by joint contributions from Great Britain, the United States, Morocco, Austria, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal.

FOUND MASTER IN TRENCHES
Faithful Dog, Left Behind in London, Followed Soldier to Fighting Line
 in France.

AS curious story as any that the war has brought to notice is that of how d dog which British soldier left behind him in London succeeded in fol- lowing him to the fighting line in France, and is now running about at his heels almost as if they were both back in their native Hammersmith. The story would be unbelievable if it were not well authenticated, the dog s owner, James Brown, being a private in the First North Staffordshire regi- ment. Private Brown went to the con- wife missed the dog, an Irish terrier named Prince. She heard nothing more of the animal until some weeks ago. when she got letter from her husband, in which he said:
 T am sorry you have not found Prince, and you are not likely to while he is over here with me. It is a very strange thing I should have got him. A man brought him to me from the front trenches. I could not believe my eyes till l got off my horse and he made great fuss of me.
 T believe he came over with some other troops. Just fancy his coming and finding me. He is quite settled down with me, and have made him a coat out of some old greatcoats, which will keep him warm. He is the pet of the regiment

REMEDY FOR ACUTE BLOATING
One Quart of 1Ia Per Cent of Form alin Recommended by Kentucky
 Experiment Station.

Circular No. 5 of the Kentucky ex- pertinent station, Lexington. Ky, states: We strongly recommend for acute bloating (of cattle), one quart of 1 F per cent solution of formalin, followed by placing a wooden stick in the animals mouth and gentle exer- clse If the animal can be gotten up" This treatment proved successful in treating six cases of acute bloat at the station during the last two years, suf- fering from the ailment disappearing in twenty to thirty minutes.
 A study of the problem of a success full treatment for bloat, other than puncture, was brought about by the usual growth of white clover in Kentucky pastures during the spring or 1913. Trouble with bloating or hoven among cattle on legume pas lures IS quite common, especially dur ing the period when they are bloom ing. Chemical study revealed that there Is a considerable quantity of sugar in the blossoms of various leg umes, the amount varying from less than l per cent to 36, and that there is a natural fermentation of this sugar to carbon dioxide gas, under the condi- tions which exist in the digestive tract.
 After finding that bIoating is caused by fermentation of the sugar, in le- gumes that are eaten, Doctor Kastle of that station suggested the use of for maldehyde as a means of relieving the ailment. Lads Oona bloated badly on white clover June IS, 1913. She was drenched with one liter of water con- talning 40 c. c. of formalin, a block of wood being placed between the jaws afterwards to keep her mouth open. At the end of 20 minutes" the cir cular states, she had entirely recoy. cred. No bad aftereffects followed this treatment"
 Formalin is trade name for a 40 per cent solution of formaldehyde gas in water, and it may be purchased at almost any drug store for about 40 cents pint. One-half an ounce of formalin in one quart of water makes the right solution with which to drench an animal for bloat

SOME TIMELY TIPS

Do not be in too much of a hurry to make a garden. Wait until the soil is warm. Seeds simply will refuse to germinate in cold, damp weather.
 Keep the house plants indoors or well sheltered until the weather is warm for keeps. A single cool night may ruin all your treasures.
 An uncovered rain-barrel will breed millions of mosquitoes. Do not allow any stagnant water to stand near tho house. Drain off the little pools that form where the plants are watered.

EARLY WORK IN BULB GARDEN
By JULIE ADAMS POWELL.

With the first warm days the bulb ous plants spring up, and many be- ginner has tried in vain to push them back until warm weather.
 As rule it is best to let nature be dictator. Hardy bulbs will endure lots of cold; and if they do sometimes get helplessly nipped of flower buds by undue haste, there is more frequently damage done to the roots by trying to curb the growth.
 Do not be in a hurry to remove the leaves which should have been their winter coverlet. Loosen them up grad ually, taking care that the plants are not smothering. If the weather con- tinues fine, work the loose leaves a little more into the soil every day, thus gradually making the change.
 There is less drain upon the bulbs if the blossoms are picked as soon as they commence to wither.
 Look to it that the ditches and drains are in good order.
 Some cut the tops from hyacinths as soon as the leaves turn yellow, remove them, and plant annuals. This is a very neat way of getting rid of the bulbs-and most effeCtually, as rule. But if you wish hyacinthS another year, there is better way, unless you can afford to purchase new bulbs
 Those discolored leaves are a neces- sity to the plant while ripening the bulbs, and If they cannot be tolerated a permissible compromise is to trans plant the bulbs to some -of,the-way corner of the yard, where they can ripen in peace. They may then be dried and packed away for autumn planting.
 It is better to replant the hardy bulbs at least once in two or three years, else they become too thickly matted Besides the soil needs a re- newal of fertilizer; and this can never be so well done as when the bed is empty.
 There Is often complaint that the old fashioned white narcissus poeti. GUS blasts in the bud. This is usually remedied by resetting the bulbs which have become matted together.
 If you have number of varieties of tulips and more time and patience than money to buy new varieties, there is often much pleasure in grow ing tulips from seed. Some of the soft shades of old-rose have been in our own garden evolved from the crOss.fertilization of standard forms. There is a pleasure, too, in watching the unfolding of the unknown. New varieties purchased of seedsmen are always announced and their beauties described; but these seedlings are positively new. and some of them are strikingly beautiful.
 If in planting your tulips, carmine and scarlet are in painful contrast, mark the one for removal at the prop CT season. Some flowers show only harmony in varietal colors, but the tulip cannot be classed among these

TO GROW DALLAS

Plant them, if there is no danger of frost, outdoors about three feet apart each way, not in too rich ground; then when they commence to grow get good stick, broom-handle is good. and tie them up with either cotton cloth or raffia
 It is best to raise them with single stem; take half the branches off, so the air and light will circulate we'll around the plants, as they take time to make large plants.
 Place some sticks over them and attack a piece of canvas sheet or blanket to protect them from the first frost. The plants thus protected last four weeks longer, and it pays for the labor, because you get the finest flow CTS and lots of them. The tuber gets ripe better, too.
 When the dahlias are killed by frost cut out the tops; do not dip them too early; wait until the hard frost comes They can stand until November 15. They also get more nourishment from the ground. When you dig them be careful not to bruise them. Let them stay in the sun to dry, then put them ill their winter quarters; a cellar that is frostproof is a good place. Cover them with sand, but if your cellar has concrete floors or is too cold, they will get mildew and die. Put some boards on the bottom.
 One should SOW some dahlia seed i; they grow much stronger than either tubers or cuttings, and one is well repaid. The seeds sown in early spring will flower from the middle of July until frost; those that do not suit can be thrown away, and the best ones can be kept over for another season.
 If the season is dry one some of the plants in the garden will have to be watered if you want flowers from them. This is especially true of the dahlia.
 Use enough water to penetrate all the soil in which their roots grow, and see that it is kept moist.
 Watering today and neglecting for a week to come isn't the proper thing. Save the suds from wash-day for this purpose. The soap in the water will benefit the plants.
 Be sure to supply substantial sup port for your dahlias. If this is not done you will be likely to find them broken some morning after a sudden wind or a hard rain storm.
 ot feet tall-allow an extra foot and a half for insertion in the ground-and they should be at least an inch through and of good sound wood.
 Paint them a dull green and they will not be unpleasantly obtrusive. Tie the stalks to them with broad strips of cloth instead of strings. The latter will cut into the tender branches when they are whipped by the wind.

You will likely have to paste together two or more sheets to make one large enough for your kite framework The paper should be placed on the outer face of the bow-stick, and should be allowed a little llness. instead of stretching 1t tight as on the hexagonal form of kite.

 Fasten the bow-stick at it's exact center to the vertical stick. placing it exactly 4 inches down from the top of the vertical stick, as indicated in Fig 3. Drive couple of brads through the two sticks, to hold them together and then reinforce the connection by wrapping the joint with strong linen thread, crossing it in the manner shown.
 With the two sticks properly joined connect their ends with the framing string, stretching it tightly between the sticks and tying to the end nails
