THE MIRANDA BOX.

An ideal veranda box is planted with roses down it's center, and the remain ing space filled with standard climbing and dropping annuals.
 The veranda box should be 15 inches wide, ten inches deep and as long as desired. Bore an inch hole through every square foot of the bottom of the box, then put in layer of broken crockery, pebbles or cinders for drain age.
 Roses thrive best in a rich but firm soil; therefore stiffen the soil with clay, and enrich with well-rotted cow manure.
 Plant the roses, if teas, six inches apart, and If hybrids twice that dis tance, and firm the soil well about them. Place the boxes where they will get the sun most of the day.
 When the roses bloom, cut back to a strong and well-developed bud, and in short time this shoot will grow and develop into rose.
 Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, but never sprinkle roses when they need watering.
 Late in the fall carefully remove the roses with plenty of soil and pack them together in a well-drained corner of the garden.
 Bury them in strawy manure and leaves held down by cornstalks or thick brush.
 Next spring, when the roses start into growth, cut back to within five or six inches of the ground, and plant into their boxes with new soil. Disturb the roots as little as possible.

BREAKING UP BRooDY FOWLS
Hens Have No Right to Sit and Do Nothing Else While Country
 Faces Food Shortage.

Eliminate the expense of broody hens. Even the fowls have no right to sit and do nothing at time when the country is facing so great food short age, according to Ross M. Sherwood, acting head of the poultry department in the Kansas Agricultural college.
 "The average hen lays four to five eggs a week, worth 12 to 15 cents at the present price of eggs" said Mir. Sherwood. "Hens should be broken up as soon as they become broody. If possible do not let them set over night, for day saved in shutting them up may save two days of their laying period.
 "Broody hens should be placed in airy coops with slat bottoms and kept up off the ground. Too frequently an ordinary box or tub is turned over

TO REBUILD COUNTRY ROADS
Present Rural System Laid Out Hun dred Years Aao-vast Change in
 Traffic Conditions.

The nations rural road system needs replanning, Prof. Frank A. Waugh of the Massachusetts Agrleul- tural college, Amherst, Mass, today told the delegates to the convention of the American Civic association.
 "Our present rural road system was planned years ago and in some sec tions they were laid out a hundred years ago." he said. Traffic conai' tions were vastly different then, tne automobile had not been invented anu large portion of the crops produces on each farm were consumed or mah' ufactured at home.
 up to the present time major lili' provements have been confined to ul' rect trunk lines connecting large cen- ters of population. Such roads, there, fore, are especially valuable for 'no movement of heavy freight ana aio now being used extensively by au'O mobile trucks"

HATCH, GEESE IN INCUBATOR
Doubtful Whether They Would Do We'll in Breeders, Therefore 1t Is
 Not Often Tried.

Goose eggs can be successfully matched in incubators, but it is not a common practice, because it is doubt ful whether they would do well raised in breeders.
 Either geese or hens are commonly used for matching and rearing pur- poses. If the eggs are matched by hens or incubators, it would be ad- visable to add moisture to the eggs during the first week by sprinlxling the eggs or nests with warm water. From four to six eggs are usually placed under hen, and from ten to thirteen eggs under a goose.
 If matched by hens, the hen should be kept confined, and goslings not al- lowed to go into the water, especially if the water is cold. To be assured of success in raising goslings, they should not be matched until the grass pasture is fairly good, as grass is their chief diet.
 In addition to that they should be fed any of the mashes recommended for chickens or goslings. Special care should be taken in seeing that all of the feed is cleaned up at each meal, as leftover food is very often source of disease.

tender branches when they are whipped by the wind.
 Beds of geranium are exceedingly ornamental, provided they are kept in tidy condition. This can only be done by keeping fiower-trusses picked off. If the faded flowers are allowed to remain I know of no plant that can take on a more unsightly, slovenly look. Of course all the buds in truss do not develop at the same time, and one does not like to destroy un- developed flowers, but the clusters can be made to look clean and attractive by pulling away from them all flowers that have passed their prime and taken on that draggled look which so detracts from the slightly appearance of everything else in the bed. Unless one has a great number of plants this can be done in a short time.

WAYS FOR AIRING INCUBATOR
Best Matches Are Often the Result of Cooling, Especially During Warm
 Summer Weather.

One may air the eggs in an incuba- tor in two ways. One method is to air some every day at the night turn ing, or in the morning, should the temperature be found a trifie high, and the other way is to turn the eggs slowly to inhale fresh air and to con- fine the real cooling to one or two periods when eggs have been incu- bated 15 and IT days and to cool them down until the shells are actually cold. The best matches are often the result of such cooling, especially in warm weather.

WoRK-A-DAY NOTES
By E. VAN sENTHuYsEN.

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 pene trate all the soil in which their roots grow, and see that it is kept moist. Watering today and negleeting tomor- row or for 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.
 If there are some windows about the house where you would like to have some plants growing, and no pro- visions have been made for boxes for them, don't forego the pleasure be- cause it 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, will 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 satisfactory than towering plants, because their richly colored foliage will take the place of flowers, and it will be in evil dence at all times; while few flower ing 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 ef- 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 ex- posed to the air on all sides, evapora- ' tion 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.
 Be sure to apply substantial sup ports for the dahlias. If this is not done you will be likely to find them broken some morning after sudden wind or hard rainstorm. The stakes should be at least four feet tall-al- low an extra foot and a half for in sertion in the ground-and they should be an inch through and of good sound wood. Paint them a dull green and they will not be unpleasantly ob- trusive. Tie the stalks to them with broad strips of cloth instead of strings. The latter will cut into the

them, and as a result they are almost as content to sit on the ground as they were on the nest.
 Ut is a mistake to starve a broody hen. She should be we'll fed at this time so that she will be ready to lay when turned out. Avoid fattening the hen while breaking her up. Give a limited amount of grains and liberal supply of milk and table scraps. Care should be taken to turn the hens out as soon as they are broken up"

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 When potato spraying is worth while there is nothing equal to the old standard bordeaux mixture. Lime sulphur, powdered sulphur, and other new mixtures that have come into use h orchards are injurious to the foli- age or weaker in fungicidal action, or both, and the experiments to date show that for potatoes and other truck crops nothing has yet been found to replace the copper fungicides.
 Potato spraying in the northern states is an established practice of proven profit, but conditions in the At lantic coastal region from New Jer- sey to Florida are so different that spraying cannot be expected to give as large returns as in Maine or New York.
 Outbreaks of late blight, the prin- cipal disease for which potatoes are sprayed, do not occur in the South every year, but only during warm and rainy seasons. Early blight is more frequent, but the potatoes are har- vested before it's injuries are fully evil dent.
 In the North the gains from spray Ing are due to the prolongation of the period of growth from two to six weeks at the end of the season. In the South where potatoes are general

Highway authorities are facing a new public demand which must ra. ceive at once the most careful study Every resource of the country must be utilized to the utmost and all unpro- ductive expenditures of money and en- ergy must be stopped. The efficiency of the American army and navy will be fostered by greater efficiency among those called upon to bear the financial strain on our resources and to furnish the labor and material needed to sup- ply our armed forces.
 The products of the forest, mine, farm and factory must be supplied to both nation and private consumer at the lowest reasonable cost in order that all may contribute their utmost.

BEST PROFITS FROM MANURE
Farmer Who Permits Loss Throuoh teaching Is NegIecting Important
 Fertility Feature.

The best profit to be obtained from feeding live stock is the stable ma- nure. With our lands responding as they do to applications of stable ma nure the amount saved, especially when liberal amount of bedding is used, may be equal to the value of the feeds used; certainly, equal to the ma- nurial or fertilizer value of the feeds used.
 The stockman who allows half of this profit to waste through teaching or through failure to provide ample bed olng IS neglecting to save the only certain profit from the feeding of live stock Progressive Farmer.

GOOD VARIETIES OF TOMATO
Make Paintings of Stone Variety Every Four Weeks-Spark's Earllana
 Is Favored.
Clemson College Bulletin.)

Clemson College Bulletin)
 For an early crop of smooth, attrac- tive tomatoes, Sparks EarIiana is about the best variety to plant. For home use, the first planting should con- sist of one-half Earliana and one-half Stone plants. In order to gather fresh tomatoes all summer, make successive piantings of the Stone variety every four weeks until about August 15.
 There will be green tomatoes on the plants that were set out last when the frost appears. If these vines are hung up under shelter before they are dam aged by frost, most of this green fruit will ripen.

whether it be small or large, to the national defense. The transportation of raw materials and finished products becomes far more important than ever before, for transportation charges form a large part of the cost of many es- sentialS.
 Utility must be given more weight than heretofore in reaching decisions as to road improvements and mere en- joyment, ordinarily a legitimate ob- ject for some expenditure of public funds, must be relegated to the back ground for time. Our roads have ac- quired an importance as agencies in national preparedness which calls for a mobilization of our road builders for the greatest efficiency in the broad transportation problems of the coun- try.
