ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENT OF
 FLOWERS IN THE HOME
By E. VAN BENTHuYsEN.

Dark corners of a room need light ing up, and light-colored, brilliant flow CTS never look so we'll as when standing out against a half-light. Yellow is an exquisite bit of color for such cor ner
 Let all the flower and foliage for home decoration be fresh and, how ever simple their form, they are lovely, not only as graceful objects, but as suggestive of something more beauti- full still.
 Avoid fantastie-colored or shaped vases. The simple beauty of the flow CTS is lost in such a holder. Clear glass and the soft greens of Bohemian make are most useful receptacles. Let the lines of the vase or bowl be simple and flowing and, however cheap the substance of which the vase is made, we shall not err.
 Strive to produce the effect of the flower when growing. and the error of cutting off the lovely grey-green stalks of daffodils and examining them into fiat dish, or putting a handful of vio- lets into a tube specimen glass will be impossible.
 There are many little eontrivances nowadays that help wonderfully in the attractive arrangement of flowers. The little Japanese frogs with holes in their backs that sit flat in the bottom of a bowl and hold out primly and gracefully a few precious stalks of I a fe, and are well worth all they cost.
 With such an arrangement three or four daffodils with their golden glow can bring bit of sunshine into q dreary room and add beauty that an armful of exquisite roses crammed into an ugly vase could never give.
 Color harmony in flower arrange ment should be well thought out, not only in regard to the relative position of one flower with another, but also with the room in which the vase is to have place.
 Colors that blend out-of-doors, be cause of the gradations in shade caused by atmospheric effects and the relieving sprays of green, would pro duce discord when massed in a room but inharmonious effects can be avoid ed by observing a few general rules.
 Wall pockets holding pussy willow in the spring, or bits of copper beech or gorgeously turned autumn leaves ir the fall, are graceful objects and give harmonious note in the home decora ton.
 Now that flowers can be secured the year round, the problem having been solved by the gardeners after years oi

(From the United States Department of
 Agriculture)
 Better marketing facilities are es- sentfal to the increase in livestock production in the South, which is de sirable from every point of view. Vari- ous methods of improving the present situation in this respect have been tried out, and the most promising ones are discussed in a new publication of the United States department of agri- culture, Farmers Bulletin 809. Among the most important are the organiza- ton of cooperative shipping and mar keting clubs and of local livestock buying companies, the establishment or local packing houses, the custom of holding livestock sales on advertised dates, and the use of local ice plants In curing farm meat
 Of these, says the bulletin already mentioned, cooperative shipping Is the one that is being most generally adopt ted in the United States. Associations for this purpose have met with marked success in the middle West and are equally well adopted to conditions in some parts of the South. They enable the small producer to ship his animals to centralized livestock markets at no greater cost for transportation than is paid by the dealer who ships in car load lots. Tn this way the farmer is made independent of local buyers. An other great advantage of such asSocia- tions is that they are simple in or ganization and require no capital to do business, because the farmers are not paid for their stock until the returns from the shipment are received.
 Market for Stock.
 In one Mississippi city the board of trade has created a somewhat more complex organization in order to pro- vide the farmers of the surrounding country with good local market for their live stock throughout the year. A farmers stockyards company has been organized with q paid-in capital of $2,500, provided by local business men, in the hope of increasing the pro- duction of live stock in the section. No dividends are paid and the operat- ing expenses of the company are re- duced to minimum. On two days of each week throughout the year the company buys live stock for cash in any sized lots, at prices which are the equivalent of. those prevailing at the large centralized markets less the cost of sending the animals to these mar

SPECIAL CARE FOR ROOSTER
Keep Male Exercising, Supply Plenty of Proper Kind of Food and Eggs
 Should Be Fertile.

Good breeding males sometimes get themselves out of breeding condition by overgallantry. Instead of taking their share of the food they call the hens. A good plan is to give every. male a special feed at night. Many breeders coop the male at night and feed him morning and night.
 See to it that the males spurs are not long and sharp enough to cut the backs of the hens. Either wrap them with narrow strips of cloth or saw them off.
 If the male has a bare spot on the head, or a torn wattle, the hens are likely to peck at him. Some males will permit the hens to pluck feathers and peck at their noses until there is a raw surface. Grease these bare spots with carbolized vaseline, and coop the bird until the wound has chance to heal over. An open wound of this sort is apt to become infected with the germ of ehickenpox and give lots of trouble. Pigeons, sparrows and other birds are said to carry chicken pox. If the germs are in the ground, and the male rubs his sore spots with infected feet, he is almost sure to get the disease.
 Keep him exercising, give him plen- ty of the right kind of food and the eggs should be fertile.

CLIMBING PLANTS AS BEAUTl-
 PIERS
By E. VAN RENTHuYsEN.

The permanent climbing plants and annuals have decided place on the home grounds. They fill a place that trees, shrubs and flowers cannot. They not only screen unsightly objects but serve as a shade protection, and when trained carefully over out-build- ings. stone walls and porehes they help to make picture of the home sur roundings.
 Three of the best elinging vines are the Boston ivy, English ivy and the trumpet vine. They are best on brick or stone walls as they are apt to cause decay if allowed to climb over. shingles and woodwork.
 Japanese honeysuckle is of quick growth and great beauty. Its delicate odor and lacelike foliage are desirable qualities. Any of the honeysuckle fam fly are good where dense shade is not requisite. The crimson rambler is an- other great fayorite. It is particularly beautiful when grown over white. trel- lises.
 Where one wishes to change the To- cation of vines yearly the annuals are necessary. Among the number of beautiful annual climbers the morning glory takes leading place. The mooE- flower and cypress and canary bird | flower are other beautiful vines, easily grown
 To start the seed of moonflower and morning-glory cut the seed little or one side and soak over night in war-i water, plant in a window box or seed bed and transplant out of doors when the ground is warm.
 Wild cucumhers and Japanese or na- five hop are hardy vines and make a dense green shade. Hyacinth bean is also very pretty and a profuse bloomer. l Never allow vines to grow up over the house. Place a trellis at least two feet from the house wall to allow a free circulation of air. This applies to all kinds of climbers. As soon as they begin to form runners give them support.
 Sweet peas and nasturtiums form ex- cellent low, ornamental screens. Plant ed early in rich soil they will grow to the height of five or six feet and cover a support of that height. De cayed vegetable matter and leaf mold are fine fertilizers for the sweet pea.
 Use the forcing frame; it is useful in hurrying things along.

These and similar methods are de- signed to afford the farmer easy access to the large outside markets. Without them he is practically dependent on the local butcher and the local dealer or shipper In selling to the butcher, frequently little or no attention is paid to market conditions. Hogs and cattle are slaughtered on numerous farms when the weather turk& cool, with the result that the market is glutted. This means low prices, which the farmer must accept because the product is perishable. In small town in Louis jana, for example, it was found that each time it grew cool eight or ten dressed hogs were offered for sale when the demand called for no more than one or two.
 Home Curing of Meat.
 To some extent remedy for this situation may be found in better meth ods of curing meat at home and also by taking advantage of the refrigera tion facilities afforded by local ice plants. Experience has shown that it is practicable for the average South ern farmer to cure the pork needed for immediate home use, and the possibil- ity of marketing hogs in the form of cured meats is worthy of considera- tion. Some form of refrigeration, how ever. will greatly aid in safeguarding the curing process. This may be sup piled either in private meat=curing houses or in a community meat-curing house. or by taking the meat to a local ice plant to be cured. A recent expert ment has shown that in small neat curing house in southern Georgia the cost of curing the meat was not more than three-fourths of cent pound, including the cost of the ice On the other hand, number of ice companies curing meat for farmers charge l cent pound for curing, cents for cur ing and smoking, and cents for cur ing, smoking and wrapping. Some ice 1 plants prefer to buy the hogs outright from the farmer and sell the cured products on their own account. A no | tfceable effect of this practice is to in- crease the number of hogs produced because of the comparative certainty that a fairly profitable market will be found for them

pecially of the Toulouse and Embden. are occasionally made, but without any apparent gain. The Toulouse, Embden, Chinese and African are easily the most popular breeds of geese in this country, the first two greatly leading the other breeds. All economic breeds of geese are kept pri- marily for the production of flesh and feathers; and although their eggs are occasionally used for culinary pur- poses on the farm, there is no demand for them for food purposes in the markets.

far on the construction of the Panama canal-for our road improvements throughout the country. Mir. Davis contention is, that good roads, roads that run for thousands of miles through state after state, are, proper ly, not the responsibility of the state but of the nation. He would have the federal government build a system of national roads joining the West with the East, the North and South, connect ing every part of the country, as is the case with the national highways of Europe, and, as history shows, such as was the essential equipment of ev- cry first-cIass power of the past. How would such an enormous construction be paid for and kept up? Suppose" asks this eminent engineer, ''the gov. ernment built 100000 miles of prop
 erly planned roads, and at the same
 time purchased, say, 300 feet of land on either side. This land would So continually increase in value, and in demand for leasing on long rental, that the cost of the road and the land pur- chase would soon be paid. A rental rate of $6.66 per acre would pay the interest on the cost of construction But much would rent at vastly higher rates, in cities and towns, high enough to give the nation an income equal to it's total annual expenditures these national highways alone!

The eggs of one hen, or a setting of eggs, may be matched in the incubator with other eggs, if, just before pipping, the eggs to be pedigreed are sewed in- to cheesecloth sacks. Make the sacks large enough to leave plenty of room for each chick, and see that there are no loose threads to choke the chicks. If there are several sacks, mark each sack, as the shells are often broken too much to show the record. Boil the sacks before using a second time.
