SPRoUT OATS FOR CHICKENS
Placed in Trays, With Net Bottoms,
They Are Ready for Feeding
In About Five Days.

A quart of oats is soaked in pail
of water overnight and the surplus
water poured of next morning. The
oats are then washed three times with
clear water to remove mold or smut
spores and spread one-quarter inch
deep on shallow trays. These trays,
which have wire mosquito netting bot
toms, are placed in warm room and
the oats kept damp. In about five
days they are ready for feeding and
make an excellent midday food for
young chicks or mature fowls. About
cubic inch day Of sprouted oats
is, sufficient for a hen and half the

BY A GARDENER.
Food should never be measured by
peckS or pounds. A pound OF lettuce
will never go as for toward staving on
hunger as q pound Of beans or peas.
Why? Because the latter have so
many more calories-the real measure

Therefore have plenty OF peas and
beans in your garden.
To have fresh peas during the whole
summer, paintings should be made

Va Ou W4IG uGIl1ubs
Peas should be planted about or
inches deep in rows feet apart.
Some gardeners plant in double rows
inches apart, with 8 or 4 feet between
these pairs OF rows. With varieties re-
quirtng support this is good practice,
as the supports can be placed in the
narrow space between the rows.
6Beans are more susceptible to cold
than peas and should not be planted
until danger of frost is past and the
ground begins to warm up. For garden
purposes beans may be divided into
two classes-string and Lima. Both
classes adapt themselves to a wide
range of soils and climate.
Both string and Lima beans are sub.
divided into pole and bush types. The
pole Lima bean should be planted with
from TO 10 seeds in the hill and aft.
er the plans become established should
be thinned to ORA. These hills should
be. feet apart.
Bush Lima beans are planted or 6
inches apart in rows 80 inches apart.
Bush string beans may be planted or

MISTAKE IN FEEDING FOWLS
Giving Hens Red Pepper and Hot Con.
diments to Produce Eggs Is Like
Whipping Tired Horse.

Some, yes many, make the mistake
of feeding their hens red pepper and
other hot condiments to induce win

The practice is generally bad, like
whipping a tired horse to make him
pull or run fast when he is weak or
tired or hungry and needs to feel the
stimulating effects of good feed rather
than whip.

Beans of any kind should not be
planted any deeper than necessary 10
secure good termination. This should
never be more than inches and on
heavy soil should not be more than
LIZ inches.
For the best results peas should be
planted in the bottom OF a furrow 6
inches deep and the seeds covered with
not more than 2 or inches OF soil.
II the soil is heavy the covering should
be less than 2 inches. After the plants
have attained q height Of 4 inches the
soil should be worked in around them
until the trench is filled. This as.
sures cooler soil for the plants roofs,
and is especially advisable for peas
sown along toward warm weather.
Beans require more fertile soil than
peas. 1t is good plan to work in q
little well rotted manure IN the ground
as you plant your beans. Also, they
will come up faster IL you plant the
bean with the eye downward. This
takee a little more time, but 1t pays
well.
In my next article ] will take up
some more garden crops.

Garrison, notorious figure on the
turf and in gambling houses, who has
incurred the enmity OF two persons:
Jim Riddle, who had his sisters score
to settle with Garrison, and Mary Bal
lard, whose brother had been ruined
through the gamblers manpulations.
Riddle and Mary combine to revenge
themselves on the racing king. Garrt'
son becomes infatuated with Mary, and
she tells him, III I'm worth winning
play the game" Then she bets herself
against $4,000 that Shooting Star,
Garrison's horse, will not win. To be
certain of success, she changes horses.
Garrison's entry loses the race, and
the girl thus succeeds in running tho
man who wrecked the loves of so many

GROW POP CORN FOR RIDDLES.

GROW POP CORN FOR kIDDIES.
Dad, let little Willie and Susie have
some pop corn rows, If you can spare
the space. That'll encourage them to
help in the garden, and it'll please
them next winter of evenings.
There are several varieties OF pop
corn. Many prefer the colored kinds
for home use and these usually please
the children more than the standard
commercial varieties. The ears of the
Little Tom Thumb and the popped kerr
nels OF the Eight-Rowed varieties are
popular for Christmas three decora-
tions.
Plant the pop corn early so it will
have long season TO grow and ma
ture. II harvested in an immature con-
dition it will not give as flaky and crisp
pop corn balls as can be made from
fully ripened corn.
Keep down grass and weeds and
hoe often to keep the top soil well
mulched.
1t is better to have three or four
short rows than one long one as this
will let the silks become better pollinat-
ed and thus give better filled ears.

velon nment, the State Department in
communication today to the
Ametican ship owners urged the ut
most precaution.
American ships were advised a.
gainlt sailing into the German sub
marine zone, and the risk Of ocean
travel were pointed out.
The State Department, however,
made clear tonight that American
vessels have full right to sail: that
they are not ordered or requested
not to sail, and that they will be
fully. protected in their rights on
the seas
The question of how this protec-
ton was to be extended was one of
the big problems confronting the
President, the State Department
and the War Department.
No American liners sailed today,
and at the State Department it was
said that sailing might be delayed.

he conferred with Secretary Baker
and Secretary Daniels.

in mystery but the day brought
forth a wealth of preparatory mea-
sures, executive and legislative. The
President later conferred with Sec
retary I'""s'ng.
Then to make clear the intentions
Of 80 government as to its prepara-
tory actions in the present condi-
tions of affairs, Secretary to the
President Tumulty authorized the
following statement:
1--WE will do nothing that we have
not a clear and legal right to do.
When we act we will act upon prin-
ciples of expediency. There is no
haste nor panic anywhere"
The President personally took
preliminary steps to insure the navy

the event Of trouble.
He issued q proclamation forbid
