SCARCITY OF GARDEN SEEDS
of Growing and Saving as Much
as He Will Require.

The scarcity and high price of gar.
den seeds, together with the unprece-
dented demand, made it impossible for
many growers to plant as much as they
wished. AS dealers were out Of the
varieties ordered, substitutions were
common and much disappointment re-
suited. These facts impress upon every
gardener the wisdom of growing and
saving as many of his own seeds as
possible. 1t requires only little effort
to do this and the gain is much more
than represented by the. cost of seeds.
1t is an easy matter at this time to
pick out few of the best radish and
lettuce plants and allow them to grow
and form seed. Two or three plants
will produce as much seed as one needs
to plant in the home garden. Pick out
the very best plants for this purpose.
In the same way you can save seed
of spinach, tomato, peppers, eggplant,
beans, peas and many other vege-
tables. Where more than one variety
of sweet corn, melons, squash or cu-
cumbers are grown near together, the
seed will become mixed and Of little
value to plant.

SELECTION OF HORSE COLLAR
Close Attention Must Be Given to Pre-
vent GaIIs-care of Shoulder Is
Simple Process.

In order to prevent gals and more
serious conditions it is not enough to
give close attention to the selection of
the collar. The shoulder of the horse
should always be washed and given
special care when the animal is at
steady work. If the selection of the
collar has been properly made and all
other things in regard to this piece of
harness looked after, the care of the
animals shoulder is simple process.
Under these conditions washing the
shoulder with soap and pure water
after the harness has been removed
at the end of days work, and thor
ough drying the parts by rubbing it
with clean cloths, is all that is neces-
sary.

STOCK ON ALFALFA PASTURE
Animals Should Not Be Permitted to
Tramp over 1t Until It Is Thor.
oughIy Established.

Alfalfa should never be pastured
the first season, and in most cases it
will be best to use it for hay-making
during the second season, in order
that 1t may become thoroughly estab-
lished before animals are allowed to
tramp over it.
It should never be pastured closely,
as this Injuries the crowns of the
plants. Horses and sheep are more
likely to do damage in this way than
are cattle or hogs. With cattle and
sheep, care must be exercised to avoid
bloating.
At first the animals should be turn
ed in for only short time each day,
and when the alfalfa is wet with dew
or rain there is still greater need of
care to avoid bloating. 1t is wise to
be a little more careful than with
clover.

RETAIN ALL BREEDING STOCK
Near-sighted Policy of Farmer to Let
Animals Go Simply Because
Prices Are High.

Due to the scarcity of, and demand
for, all kinds of meat, the price Of live
stock is at present abnormally high.
The farmer naturally wants to sell all
he can at these figures, and it is not to
be wondered at that he is sorely tempt
ed to sell his old or breeding stock as
well at these figures. 1t is true that
they will bring a good price, yet, un-
less others as good or better are on
hand to replace them, this procedure
is bad indeed.
Instead of selling off breeding stock,
the opposite plan should be followed
wherever possible-the increasing of
breeders. The American live stock in
dustry must not only be maintained,
but it must be built up. Kill the ma
ture stock and the industry is crippled.
With the breeders killed, production is
cut off and future farm profits from
these animals lost.
The breeding animals on the farm
are essential and must be considered
as part of the permanent investment.
Save these to earn future profits, and
to preserve and insure our domestic
meat supply.

Woman Captures Eagle.

Mrs. Winthrop Howland of the Ell
Chivar Goat ranch in Live Oak Canyon
came out victor in battle with gold
en- eagle and the big bird is now a
captive at the ranch, says a Redlands
(Cal.) dispatch. Mrs. Howland noticed
the bird alight in a peach tree. 1t
appeared to be exhausted, so she
grabbed one leg and then the battle
started.
Mrs. HowIand saw that she was in
for fight, and not daring to let loose
of the bird, made dive for it's neck,
and was lucky enough to get hold of it.
She was thus able to keep the bird
from biting her, but it beat at her with
it's wings. She managed to get it into
a pigeon corral and then found that
she was almost exhausted by the fight.
The eagle is large one, and meas
ures about six feet from tip to tip.
When Mrs. Howland made an examina-
tion she found that she had been
wounded, but not seriously.

SAVED Her JEWELS.
Former Russian Czarina Sent
Gems to Germany.
Treasure Estimated to Be Worth $780,
: 100000 Kept Out of Hands of the
ReVoIutionists.

The Russian royal jewels, including
the gems that incrusted the imperial
Romanoff crown, are safe from the
democratic hands of the new rulers in
Petrograd. With woman's intuitive
knowledge of trouble ahead, the for
mer czarina had them tucked away in
a safe deposit vault in her ancestral
city of Darmstadt, Germany, right at
the beginning of the war.
And there they will remain until Mr..
and Mrs. Romanoff claim them again,
says the New York Tribune.
The story of the Russian royal jew
els is told in the Chronicle by writer
who says that the former czarina
was largely responsible for the war, in
that she assured her German friends
and relatives that Russia would not be
q formidable antagonist. She proceed
ed to prove this antebellum prediction
by pro-German intrigue which ended
with the revolution and the overthrow
of the Romanoff dynasty.
But the former czarina, who, before
her marriage was Princess Alexandra
Alice of Hesse, had no illusions about
Germany. Accordingly, she packed up
the family jewels in the summer of
1914, when she saw the international
war clouds appear, and sent them in
charge of trusted messengers to her
brother, the grand duke of Hesse, for
safe keeping till peace was restored.
The royal emissaries travelled by the
way of Finland and Sweden. They
reached their destination before the
mobilization of the Russian army was
complete.
The tale of the czarina's German
the family gems is said to have been
revealed by members of the Russian
commission, who visited New York
city recently.
A New York society woman had her
eye peeled for bargains in royal jew
elry and approached members of the
commission on the subject of purchas-
ing a string of rare pearls which she
had seen the former czarina wear at
a fashionable European resort some
years ago. She was told that she would
have to talk to Mrs. Romanoff or her
brother, the grand duke of Hesse.
Ivan Narodny, Russian business
man and writer of New York, cor
roborated the article in the Chronicle.
Mr.. Narodny said it was impossible to
place an exact value on the royal jew
els, but estimated that they ought to
bring close to $1OO,OO0,O0O in the mar
ket. He said they were of far greater
intrinsic value than the historic jewels
deposited in the Kremlin, which are
safe.
The disappearance of the royal jew
els became known about month after
the revolution, when the provisional
governments appraisers were taking
an inventory of the Hermitage, one of
the structures of the winter palace,
where the treasures were supposed to
be kept, according to Mr. Narodny.
"When the vaults of the Hermitage
were opened the jewel boxes were
gone," said Mr.. Narodny. "The inn
perial crown reposed ON it's silk
cushion in one chamber of the vault,
but all of its stones were found to be
