fancy over the magnifcence of the art
which has reproduced from few bones

Skill and patient labor works the
miracle. for miracle il seems when one
views the limp skins and bleached

and the taxidermists Of the museum
have developed this to an unusual de-

hollow plaster figures instead of using
wooden forms or simply stuffing out
the skins with excelsior or sawdust, as
was formerly the method This modern
idea is much more artistic in the re-
suits. besides being lighter and far
more durable than the old process.
Mounting animal skin is much
like tailoring. except the conditions are
reversed. The tailor fits clothes to the

such crops as spinach, turnips, and kale.
Large, late varieties, however, will &C.
cupy the ground for practically the whole
| season.
For early use, the yellow sweet corns
have recently become quite popular. OF
these the Golden Bantam is a well-known
variety. Early Minnesota has long been
a favorite. White Mexican is valuable
early corn. Early Malakohf is very
early sort of excellent quality, which
does better in the North than in the mid
die states, however. Early Adams is
variety frequently grown for market,
and its virtues are rather those of the
market than of the table. 1t is flint
corn, not sweet corn, but if used during
the very short period when its qualities
are at their BEST its flavor is good.
For midseason and late use, Crosby,
Potter's Excelsior, Country Gentleman,
Black Mexican, and StowelPs Evergreen
are suitable.
1t is possible to have fairly long sea
son of disable corn of other varieties, such
as Golden Bantam, Crosby, and Country
Gentleman are planted simultaneously,
in early spring. To make the season con
tinuous until frost, however, it will be
necessary to plant some variety at inter
walls of two or three weeks up to the
last of July. Crosby is very good
variety for this purpose.

Rebuke for Selfish Soldiers.

That was a singing and merited re
buke administered by the universal serv-
ice committee of veterans of the National
Guard and naval militia OF the state OF
New York to the little group of wilful
men in the convention OF the National
Guard Association OF the United States
who, by methods which smacked I'M
pleasantly OF steam roller action, TANNED
through resolution advocating the pres.
ervation of the National Guard and OF
their own little brief authority and gold
braid at whatever cost to the efficiency
of the country's military system.
BY some 200 votes in the convention
an Endorsement OF universal training un-
der National Guard supervision was
adopted BY some 2,00G votes in the
meeting held in the same hall at the list
regiment armory a little later in the
afternoon under the auspices OF the New
York veterans committee resolution
indorsing universal service under fed
eral control was adopted. The conven-
ton would not wait 80 hear the Gaze pre-
scented by the New York guardsmen.
The influences which now seek TO ham
string universal training by subjecting it
to National Guard supervision are the
same which lobbied successfully at Wash
ington last year to hamstring real pre-
psredness by securing the passage OF the
Hay militia bill The effect OF universal
training would be defeated by National
Guard supervision because the guard sys-
tenn is essentially unmilitary and has
been conclusively proved to be so by the
on the Mexican border. That
the National Guard system failed and
must always fail, no matter how earnest

majority of the guardsmen

SWEET CORN.
Should Always Be Found in Home Gar.
ems

Sweet corn should always be found in
the home garden when space allows
since it loses quality very rapidly after
being picked. It's sugar changes into
starch, so that to have it at its best it
should be on the fire within Fifteen min
utes after being pulled from the stalk.
Those who wish to have home grown
sweet corn viii find the following advice
from the z. s. department OF sgricul-
ture useful:
Corn does best in fertile soil, but is
able TO adopt itself TO all textures from
sand to clay. To grow it in sufficient
quantities for the average family re-
quires moro space, however, than for
most garden vegetables, 1t should not be
planted until after danger of frost is
past.
The rows should be spaced not closer
than three feet apart, and for the larger
growing late varieties the distance had
best be three and one-half feet. Stalks
should be thinned to stand from fifteen
TO eighteen inches in the row. In plant
ing, the seed is covered with one or two
inches OF soil. Cultivation must be thor
ough, frequent, and shallow.
1t is possible to use the ground oceu-

quently wholesale waste occurs at har'
vest time, not only of sweet potatoes, but
of white potatoes and other underground
food crops, though lack of proper stor-
age facilities to safeguard the crop from
destructive freezes at digging time. Early
this season plans should be made and
executed in the building of suitable farm
storage houses or cellars. This usually
can be done at relatively low cost if I'M
dertaken in time. In view of the ex-
perience of the past year, it would ap-
pear that SURPRISES of such vegetable
crops as are capable of preservation by
drying for soup stock, such as carrots,
potatoes, celery, etc, could be preserved
profitably for food use in regions where
fruit evaporators which could be util-
lied for tnis purpose already exist. Sur
plus sweet corn, if cut at the proper
stage, can be sm-dried or oven-dried, as
in earlier years before systematic can
ming of corn was developed, and, in this
way, be preserved for food use.
Certain crops grown annually to a
considerable extent for soil improvement
or forage possess large food value if
utilized properly. Among such crops are
soy beans, cowpeas, peanuts, kafir and
other grain sorghums, the food and oil
producing value of which has not been
recognized adequately until recently. In
creased utilization of these for human
food and of production doubtless will
be advisable.
Under the condition in which the
country now finds itself, it is important,
as has been pointed out, that everything
practicable be done to increase the eff

ton to few of the steps that may be
taken to this end. 1t is desirable that
throughout the country farmers confer
among themselves on these and other
matters affecting the production of need
ed crops and that they consult freely with
county agents, state agricultural agen-
cies, and the department of agriculture"
