DON'T BE DIFFERENT.

When selecting breed Of livestock
II is well to consider the breed that is
most common in your community, that
is, if you want to make money. Unless
there is very obvious reason for not
doing So. it will be better to choose
this breed as your breed.
There is no advantage in being diff
ferent just for the sake of being So

The owner Of recorded livestock is
under heavy obligations to the breed
and its breeders. He is not only sK-
pected to keep the quality of his herd
or flock up to the standard it had when
1t came into his possession, but he
must improve it, if possible.-C. D.

CITY MEN ARE NOT FARMERS.

q City men are mostly likely to fail at
farming by putting too much money in
buildings and keeping too many men,
and by doing too many fancy things
that are called scientific farming, but
that are really folly farming" Expe,
rienced, farmers do not often make seri
Gus mistakes in these things.-C. E,

A well-bred animal has the same ap
petite and the same digestive organs
as the scrub, and will probably con-
sumo more feed. 1t makes a better
use Of the feed, however, by laying on
a large proportion of gain in the re-
giOns OF the more valuable cuts.

ANIMALISMS

Even in these times of high-priced
feeds, feed well. The temptation is to
stint the young stuff. 1t is certain that
if they are stinted, they will become
stunted. Such damage not only affects
the animal itself, but also his breeder
and the breed to which he belongs.

Alaska peas may be planted in Jan

grown if planted the last of August.
If Yellow Danvers Onion seed are

August, will make good yield for fall

A small planting of tomatoes should
be made as early as possible for table
use, but for the main crop, for can
ming, seed may be sown where the
plants are to stand, in late April, and
the crop will be at its best in Septem

If beans are wanted for canning, an
extra large planting should be made

The Good Garden Soil.

Garden soil should be a well-draine i
loan that will warm up quickly In the
spring, and not dry out too readily. /,
is best -plowed deep in the fall, but ii
fall blowing has been neglected turn
the land as soon as it will pillow well.
1t is hardly possible to have soil to
rich for most vegetables, so the garde
should be MANFRED heavily. If the ma
nure is course, it should be plowed ur
der; if fine, it may best be spread on
the ploWed land and cultivated in With
disk and spike-tooth harrow. Thoe
preparation in advance of planting q
essential to a successful garden
The garden should be deep Iiowet
= If the work is done in the fall follow
the turning pillow with a subsoiler o,
bull tongue, to depth of twelve mches
or more. o.
A large planting may be made OF
such vegetables as retain their quality
a long time; potato and onion (bulbsJ
are examples. But when the vegeta
bic remains in edible condition for only
a short time frequent soWings and
small paintings should be the rule; pea
and snap beans are of this class, Veg
etables that fruit through a long sea
son, as tomato, should have at least
two paintings for best results. There
Is much waste in planting too much al
a time. The general rule should be to
plant often, and little at time.
Snap beans should be planted every
fifteen days from the middle of April
to the FIRST Of September, If a continu-
GUS supply Is wanted in the best con-
dition for the table.

Late in March, or early in April,
the robin returns. We may see him
hopping around on our lawns or per-
haps we may hear him first He has
a clear, cheerful voice. but does not
sing his most joyful songs until his
mater returns from the south, about a
week later. Together they build the
nest. or remodel one that they have
occupied for several seasons. In the
latter case the old leaves are cleared
out and few crooked sticks added
to the clumsy looking mass. Then II

make it firm, solid and safe The

her breast as a mason does his trowel

she has finished, but soon makes her
self clean and neat again. When
lined with grass. moss and feathers

The Nissen hut is likely to have a

EXECUTION OF EDITH cAvELL
Evidence That It Was by Direct Order
Of the Kaiser.
New York Times.O

NANtN iolh lllltSJ
According to the Berlin Tageblatt
Governor General Won Kissing who
died the other day not only did not
order the execution of Edith Cavel
or the deportation or the Belgians
but he disapproVed of the first named
measure, He even went 50 far as tt
tender his resignation to the kaiser IN
consequence of it. Both of these
measures, the Tageblatt says, We're or

ters."
quarters" who ordered the shooting oil
Edith Cavell and the deportation OF
the Belgians? These three words
are strange ones for the Tageblatt tt
use, when some euphemism would
lave tended to create more uncer-
tainty. The Tagebatt could not give
the name of the individual who is
sued the order. why, then, drag in the
kaiser's name? The Tageblatt's ex-
oneration of Won Kissing bears the
stamp of truth, so far as the deporta-
tons are concerned, for the deporta-
ton policy was executed not only in
Belgium, but in France and Poland,
over which Won Kissing had no juris-
dictiOn. We can therefore more read
lily accept its exoneration of the gen.
eral in the other matter
Now, one of the shocking things
about the Cavel execution was the
manner of it, the naughty, autocratic
refusal to hear a word, to give a mo-
ment's time. the contemptuous treat
ment of the efforts of neutral diplo-
mats for delay. Whoever caused the
death of that brave woman was some
one who considered himself superior
to all others, even to other nations as
represented by their ENJOYS. Some
thing of this may be in many Ger
man officers, but there was something
quite imperial about the Cavell pro-
Ceedings that set them off little from
the usual German military manner,
about him, was % rather routine
minded soldier, whose mentality, as
shown in his official explanations, was
somewhat slow and clumsy. The
manner of the deed in question does
not seem to be characteristic of him.
The brusqueness and haughtiness of
the manner was that of some one ac-
customed to think, II have said it.;
it is final: | am above all question"
Whom does the cap fit, Won Kissing
or the kaiser? However, the ques-
ton is not one of guesswork. In a
country like Germany, the Tagebatt
could not have dared to say such a
thing unless it had known the thing to
be true; and considering the way in
which even a newspaper so bold as
the Tageblatt is obliged to guard its
phraseology, the words from the
kaisers headquarters" must be regard
ed as direct and identifying.

an impassioned defense of David Sim
inow, a pupil whipped for refusal to
salute the flag, Mrs. Tululoo NJ. Hicks,
principal of the children's socialist
lyceum, brought down a storm of re-
proof upon her head today when at a

Mrs. Hicks is waging a fight against
corporal punishment of pupils who re-
fuse to salute the flag or stand while
the Star Spangled Banner is sung or

"'The children have been taught the
meaning o this war;" Mrs. Hicks de-
clared. "They know it is not war of
patriotism, but war of commercial
ism. The flag no longer stands for
freedom, but for the dollar mark.
