Right Type of Patriotism.

Every American who does not think his land the fairest that ever the sun shone on, his own state the finest in the Union, and his town the best place in which to live has not reached the same celestial plane of joy aud pa triotism as the foreigner. whe thinks his little wind-swept bog is the happi- est spot in the happiest land the good God ever made. This is the love of country that glorifies q land and the people that inhabit it. This is what makes every hill and valley, every rock and rill the most beautiful in the world, because it is ours. made sacred around it.-Exchange.

PuSChKlNIA LITTLE KNOWN

It is surprising how little known is the pusehkinia among the bulb plants that are worth while. It is very charming flower and is worth d place in any garden. II is one of the very cheapest of the bulb family. The bulbs only cost about one cent each. When once placed they produce beau tifut spikes of flowers each spring. The spikes rarely grow more than half q dozen inches high but each of them will produce from 15 to 30 flowers. and they are lasting. The bulbs are planted It the same time and in the same WHY as other members of the bulb tribe, being set about three mclies

DEVELOPING HOMEYSUCkLE

There was time when but two classes of honeysuckle were known. One of them was the climbing type ; the other the wild variety that chil- dren brought in from the woods. Re cent cultures show that the honey suckle is being developed in tree. or bush form, with all of the individual characteristics of the wild variety and the best results of culture added. The bushes make attractive and valuable home garden decorations and will be much sought during the coming sea son.
 The plants give both flowers and foliage, and in addition supply per fume that is pleasing.

City Managing a Profession.

When the commissioners in charge of Niagara Falls N. Y. were looking about for a manager for the city they heard of a young fellow at Cadillac, Mich, named Carr Cadillac was pay ing Carr 3500 as city manager. and it figured that it had made good in- veStment, for he had saved the city $7,000 out of a budget of $7S0e0.
 Carr looked over the ground at Mag ara Falls and said he would take the job at 5000 But he agreed to save the city $25.0o0 by putin. the city on a business basis. It looks as if he would make good
 That's what the city manager plan makes possible. It builds up corps of trained men who know how cities ought to run. Then it permits city to bid for the services of man who is conspicuously successful in the busi- nesS.-Kansas City Star.

Poultry Need Fresh Water.

Chickens need constant supply of fresh water, according to W. A. Lip. pincott, professor of poultry husbandry in the Kansas Agricultural college.
 Running water is best" says Pro- lessor Lippincott, "but if this is not available. keep the water fresh. Add enough permanganate of potash to make 1t wine red. This amount will act us an antiseptic in preventing the transmission of disease through the water and will aid also in keeping down intestinal parasites"

KEEPING THE FORESTS ALIVE
By ELIZABETH VAN geNTAuYsEn

Mankind iS very peculiar collective animal. Somebody said that the aV- craze man spends the first half of his life trying to destroy his health and the second half trying to rebuild il. That is surely his method of handling most of the propositions that confront him.
 This is more Strikingly Illustrated in the case of forestry than in any other respect once let the march of progress begin and the ring of the woodman's aX is heard and the path of civilization is marked by the fallen trees. Then comes the time when it becomes apparent that the rebuilding of the forests k a prime essential and the people go to more trouble to recre- ate what they have destroyed with lav- ish hand than would ever have been necessary had q little foresight been exercised.
 Slowing the extent of the govern mental interest in repanting the for eSts, there will be more than S.0O00OO trees available next spring for refor-
 
 in the Pennsylvania state nurseries alone.
 More than half of the S,000,O00 are white pines. Some figures on the re- mainder of the stock will be of gen eral interest. Norway spruce number 1,013000; Scotch pine ,2S3,000; pitch pine, 762, ,000; European larch. 436, GOO; Japanese larch, 34000; sugar maple, 1000; and Douglass fir, 1000

CARNATIONS RENEWING POPU-
 lARITY

Shortly after the death of the late President Mckinley the carnation had perfect wave of popularity, due largely to the fact that Mir. Mckinley WAS particularly fond of the flower and nearly always wore one in his butt tonhole. For a lime, following the first interest in the flower, it seemed to be on the Wane as public favorlie. Now the carnation is riding back to the place of leading fad. The deal CTS do not know why, but they are getting q demand for more of the car nation family than they have for years. White. pink and deeper red are the shades ill vogue, although some of the mixed flowers sell well.
