WOULD RAISE RABBITS
Uncle Sans Food Experts Advo-
cate New Industry.
Greater Production Would Reduce
Drain on Ordinary Supply Of coun-
try, 1t Is Urged.

Rabbits, which have proved valu-
able source of food in Europe during
the present war, may well be raised
more extensively in America by way
of reducing the drain on the ordinary
meat supply, according to biologists of
Uncle Sans department of agriculture.
The business of growing rabbits, the
specialists point out, can be carried on
by youths and adults not engaged in
military or other national service, or
In regular industrial employment. The
animals may be raised In back yards
of cities and towns as well as on
farms.
The Belgian hare, says a statement
by the United States department of
agriculture, breeds rapidly, natures
quickly, and produces palatable and
highly nutritious meat. The cost of pro-
duction is less than that of any other
meat, not excepting poultry. The sup
ply can be greatly increased within
few months without requiring space
that may be needed for the production
of crops. Practical experience has
demonstrated that rabbit meat can be
produced in unlimited quantities at a
cost of about six cents a pound; and
by utilizing lawn cuttings and other
vegetation that would otherwise be
wasted, the cost can be made even
lower.
The Belgian and Flemish giant rab-
bits are recommended for meat produc-
ton, as the ordinary tame rabbit is
smaller and develops more slowly.
Stock of Belgian hares may be bought
from breeders in nearly all the states
at 81 to So each. They may OCCASION
ally be had from pet stock dealers.
Fancy pedigreed stock Is not required
for meat production.
Rabbits are easily kept. They eat
hay, grass, lawn cuttings, and green
vegetation of many kinds. Females
should be allowed to breed when eight
or ten months old, and during the year
should raise four litters of about six
young each. Well fed, the young reach
marketable size when three to four
months old, and average from five to
six pounds live weight.

GROW VINES AROUND THE
HOME.
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

Try growing honeysuckle vine about
the outhouSes or pOrches. Its habit of
growth admirably fits in for screening
purposes.
1t does not grow rampantly enough
to make constant pruning and clipping
necessary to keep it within bounds, but
1t covers screen of ordinary height
with thick mass of foliage that will
be found entirely effective in hiding
unsightliness or protecting the inmates
Of n home from the observation of
passers-by.
When in bloom 1t challenges the
admiration of those who pass ordinary
plants by without attention, and when
out of bloom it is even much more at
tractive than the ordinary average
vine, because of the density of it's
foliage and its graceful habit of
growth.
Before any plant can be grown with
success the soil must be right. Heavy
soils can be lightened by incorporating
them with sand, loan, anything that
will make them more porous. Wood
and coal ashes will answer this pur-
pose to some extent.
Old mortar is excellent. And what
ever you find available, and work it
into the original soil until its heavy
condition Is relieved. At the same time
add plenty of fertilizer of some kind
and work this in, too.
Use leather instead of cloth in tack
ing vines to the wall. Cloth will sell
dom last longer than a season. Then
If the vine has not found some per-
manent sort of support for itself there
is danger of its falling down, and once
down 1T will be found almost impos-
sible to put back in a satisfactory
manner.
AS basis for vine support, try wire
netting. If possible fasten the netting
to the cornice above and then to stakes
in the ground below, drawing it as
tight as possible. Where this is done
there will be a space between the
walls of the house and the vines
through which the air can freely cir
culate. This will benefit the vine and
will not injure the walls.
Honeysuckle is only adapted to the
lower story of a house. Taller growing
vines are necessary where one wants
the vine to extend to the roof.
This matter of vines about the house
is worthy of careful attention and once
you have made up your mind what you
want to grow-go ahead.

WORK IN FLOWER GARDEN
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Seeds of the cannas, nasturtlums,
seeds are benefited by soaking in hot
water for - hours before planting.
When spraying the orchard, do not
neglect to spray the roses, shrubs and
small fruits. 1t will do them a world
OF good.
Experiment with flower novelties"
but do not "bank" ON them.
Don't trust seeds TO cold, wet soil
wait until the earth is dried and
warmed by the sun.
Be sure to start the late-blooming an
nuals in the house. For instance, the
cosmos.
Try few of the summer-bloOming
bulbs and tubers this year-tuberous-
rooted begonias, caladiums, dahlias,
cannas, tuberoses, etc. They are sat
isfactory summer boomers.
The following plants will flourish on
the shady side of the house: Ferns,
pansies, sweet alyssum, wandering jew,
mlgnonette, torenias, forget-me-nots,
primroses, mimulas, begonias, fuchsias,
heliotropes, plumbagoes and godetias.
These thrive in the sun: Verbenas,
nasturtiums, phlox, petunlas, nigelas,
geraniums, candytuft, cypress vine,
thunbergias, hyacinth beans, morning
glories, and In fact almost all of our
bedding ANNALS.
Have the sweet-pea bed two feet
wide, and as long as wanted. Manure
1T heavily, and spade 1t deeply. Run
two burrows down the center six inches
apart and ten inches deep, and fill with
leaf mold or well-rotted manure. Mix
this with the surrounding soil, and
then plant the peas one inch apart and
five inches deep. Cover with soil and
firm it WELL
If stocky cosmos is wanted, begin to
pinch out the end of the stem when the
seeding is five or six inches high, and so
treat every shoot until the first of Au-
gust
The first year n rosebed gives small
returns. Cover the bare soil by plant
ing pansles, phlox or verbenas between
the bushes. Should the rose branch
out freely, the ANNALS may be re-
moved.
Moon vines that have been raised

planted out before the very end of
June-preferably early July. They
need heat and plenty of water to do
we'll
Those who contemplate a pit or cold
frame for violets next winter, should
at once procure strong, healthy plants
from the florist. Set them in a spot
which is shaded the greater part of the
day, in light, rich soil. Carefully pick
off all runners and flower buds, should
they appear. This will throw all the
strength of the plant into the Towering
crown. Keep the soil stirred, and see

IS MONUMENT TO EXPLORERS
memorate First Visit by White
Men to Great Northwest.

Upon the recommendation of Secre-
tary of the Interior Lano President
Wilson has created by proclamation
the Verendrye National Monument
near Sanith, North Dakota. This res
ervation, which embraces two hundred
and fifty acres, surrounds lofty emf
nence locally known as Crowhigh Butte,
the second in height in North Da-
kota to the well-known Sentinel Butte.
1t rises from the left bank of the Mis-
souri, river at Old Crossing, one of the
most important fords of the Missouri,
over which hunters, trappers and ex-
plorers have passed from the earliest
times.
The significance of this monument Is
that it marks the first recorded visit
of white men to the vast territory
which includes North Dakota. Veren-
drye, the celebrated French explorer,
starting from the north shore of Lake
Superior, passed westward and south
westward into the unknown regions of
the great plains and Rocky Mountains
about 1740. The records of the jour
neys made by him and his two sons
are the subject of conflicting interpre-
tations, but there is no question that
the Verendrye party was the first to
enter North Dakota and to look upon
the Missouri at this point. This was
the butte from which they gazed into
the unknown lands west and south;
and they were the first white men to
cross the Missouri at the ford which
afterward became the highway of ex-
ploration and early trade. This was
sixty years before the Lewis and Clark
expedition.
The creation of the Verendryo Ma
tional Monument follows the historical
precedent set by the creation of the
Cabrillo National Monument at the
spot where the Spanish navigator Ca
brillo first sighted the coast of Cali
fornia in 1912, and of the Sieur de
Monts National Monument at the spot
where Champlain first sighted the
coast of Maine in 1909,
