Every year j. they're marching

Every year they're stopping lower;
Every year the lifting music stirs the
hearts of older men;
Every year the flags above them

AS if grieving for the future when
they'll never march again.
Every year that day draws nearer;
Every year the truth is clearer
That the men who saved the nation
from the severing fatal sword,
Soon must pass away forever
From the scene of their endeavor,
Soon must answer to the roll call
of the angel of the Lord.

Loyal still to those that slumber,

TREATMENT AND CULTURE OF
 HARDY MANUALS
By LIMA R. ROSE.

Seeds of hardy annuals should be sown in April or May, according to the latitude, in shallow boxes or pots and bed. A second sowing ought to be made from two to four weeks after for a succession, as well as to provide against failure the first time.
 The most convenient receptacle for seed is shallow box from two to tent size.
 The best soil for all of the smaller kinds is a very fine, rich sandy loam. The very best soil is that taken from old hotbeds, or from old pasture land, piled up in sods and allowed to rot for with sand and little old stable ma nure.
 Give the tiny plants plenty of air and moisture, yet not too much water, or they will clamp off" Get pots two inches or more in diameter and plant of the pots, so that as soon as the ground IS warm enough they can De easily turned out and planted singly, as by that time they will have good roots.
 Do not cover seeds too deeply This is common and disastrous mistake. The exception to this rule is sweet pea, which is seldom planted deep enough. A good, general rule is to cover only to the depth of the thickness of the seeds With medium-sized seeds like zinneas and balsams and their kind half an inch or so is none too much.
 Tiny seeds like the portulacas need only to be pressed into the soil with the palm of the hand. Always firm the earth around flower seeds, else there is danger of their drying up be

RAISING DUCKS FOR MARKET
Always Demand in Large Cities for "Green Ducks"-Produced by
 Special Feeding.

The number of commercial duck farms in the country is increasing somewhat, it is said, but the produc. tion of ducks on general farms is de creasing, especially in the middle West. The last census reports show that ducks were kept on only 7.9 per cent of the farms in the country. The demand for ducks eggs is more lin ited than for hens eggs, and the de mand for table ducks at good prices is to a great extent, confined to the large cities and is not nearly as general as the demand for chickens. For this reason it is advisable to study the mar ket conditions before making any large investment in ducks.
 On the other hand, 1t is said that in tensive duck farming on large scale has been more successful than inten sive chicken raising. The Pekin ducks which are kept extensively by commer cial growers are less subject to dlS ease than chickens, and artificial meth ods of matching and rearing have been used very successfully with them. ol

surface. A convenient device some times used for drying cowpea hay may be made with strips or poles six feet long joined at the top and held four feet apart at the bottom by means of cross pieces. The vines are piled upon this rack, which permits the air to cir cuiate freely among the vines, thus curing them quickly and satisfactorily with little loss of leaves.
 Soy Beans.
 The soy bean is a comparatively new crop in this country. but one which has fast gained favor in the South and North alike. The soy bean withstands dry weather well, and makes a hay similar in quality to that from cow peas. It grows erect and holds it's leaves better than cowpeas, but has a more fibrous stem. Soy beans produce heavier seed yields than cowpeas and

general farms ducks can be raised wiln success and at a profit, though as . source of income they do not appear " be as well adapted to average lafn conditions as fowls. Hitherto farmeis have rarely given the necessary cals to the feeding and marketing or tnei, ducklings to secure any large snare U the trade in fancy green ducks.
 It is this trade which attracts 'ns commercial duck farmer. A greeu duck is a duckling which IS gross rapidly and marketed when from elsn. to twelve weeks old, weighing at 'iia, time from AZ to 6 pounds. This rap.S growth is made possible by an apun rss dance of care and good feeding. ,s. .se highest prices are paid early III ,S 'nI spring, but, as has already Deen 9a.a the demand is chiefly from the ia,se .ss cities in the East and on the fa.lns coast. AS matter of fact iiiaa1 ea,l farmers market their ducks in tiie oan .a, at lower price per bird than s

CONCRETE PAVEMENT IS BEST
Affords as Good FoothoId for Horses as Any Other Hard Surface and
 Wears Quite We'll.

The concrete pavement in use on the main driveway at the Kansas State Agricultural college has proved that this type of pavement is successful, according to L. D. Conrad, professor of civil engineering. This pavement has been in use for more than three years and shows practically no wear.
 The traffic over this road is heavy. It consists of all the coal and machin- cry delivered to the college, large part of the material that is used in the construction of new buildings on the campus, college mail and express, and the many pleasure vehicles that are continually using this road.
 Two methods were used to surface the road. On the level portion Of the roadway the finish was made compar- atively smooth, while on the grades heavy stable brush was drawn over the green cement, leaving a rough sur face. It is probable that after a few years of service the roadway which has the smooth surface will present more uniform appearance but at pres ent there is no appreciable difference.
 "The teamsters hauling coal to the college power plant were strongly of the opinion that the road would be slippery" remarked Mr.Conrad, "but they say, after using it for three years, that it affords as good foothold for the horses as any hard surface.
 "The expansion and contraction of the concrete is taken up by steel-bound joints that are placed every 35 feet, these joints being surrounded by an elastic material. Outside of a few dollars for replacing some of this ma- terial, there has been no expense what ever for the repair or upkeep of the roadway"

PLANT TREES AND SHRUB
 BERY
By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHuYsEN

Looking over your grounds this spring, note the effect of your plant ing. If the place lacks trees and shrubs, plan to make up the lack this fall.
 Don't forget some ornamental trees and shrubs. Plant them in groups or singly, but always leave open space for grass.
 Cut-leaved birch is q favorite tree for planting on the home grounds. It is pyramidal in shape with dropping branches.
 The Japanese naples are very beau tiful, small trees in bush form with vivid coloring of the cut leaves,
 Many shrubs are more beautiful in foliage than in flower, and some of them carry their fruits through the winter in bright colors.
 In setting trees or shrubs, make a hole wide enough so that the roots can be spread out, avoiding twisting and crowding as much as possible. Work the soil in about the roots, leav- ing no spaces, and packing firmly.
 Avoid planting trees between the house and the street in such a manner as to hide the view from the windows and doors. To obstruct the outlook is very annoying to those confined to the house. Trees and shrubbery should be placed so as to form background or setting for the dwelling.
 Young trees should be carefully watched and the open spaces in the ground about them, which have been made by the wind swaying the trees should be well firmed down.

ration the same as that given pen 2 except that corn was substituted for peas and the oats were fed in the proportion of two parts instead ot three.
 Pen 1 averaged 24 eggs per bullet: pen 2, 146 eggs, and pen 8, 131 eggs. The percentage of eggs under two ounces in pen 1 was 661a; in pen 9 5.5, and in pen 3, 6 2-3. Pen l cost exclusive of labor, $19.36, and brought in only S1S.45; pen 2 cost $34.91, with an income of $87.15, and pen 8 cost $33.22, with an income of $9720.

Outline of King Drag.

its further use I give this detailed drawing and make the following sug- gestions:
 Use light wood. The drag will do the most efficient work if 1t is light enough for one man to lift.
 Don't use square timber, as it will not stay sharp on the edge like 8 half-round timber. A log from 10 to 12 inches in diameter is best.
 A strip of iron three-eighths of an inch thick, three or four inches wide and thirty-six inches long bolted to the right-hand side of the front tim Der, is very effective in cutting down unusually rough spots.
The Pulaskian., 1917-04-27
SOME TIMELY HINTS

Have some fragrant foliage plants and shrubs. The old kinds are fine.
 Good results in raising plants de- pend largely on the care given them. No, something for nothing" in na- ture.
 Give the canna roots place in the hottest sunshine, feed plenty of ma nure and water and mulch heavily with barnyard manure.
 Soak the hanging baskets twice a week by setting them in tub of wa ter. The basket can be let down by pulley and drawn up without lift ing.
 Plant flowers for others, as well as yourself. and don't forget to take a bouquet for the church on Sunday. One does well to consider the lilies even while worshiping.
 The old lemon lily is just as good as it ever was, and just as beautiful.
 When working in the dirt among plants, SC the hands we'll with lard, rub ;s you would with soap, then wash In SoapSudS.
 Corn and potatoes are all right, but give us little soul food in the way of flowers and fine foliage.
 Bloom is better than brambles and roses will grow wherever brambles will.
 The best time to fight weeds Is now, before they get good start. Keep right after them from the time they show up, even before the seeds are sown.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 Cowpeas are grown more widely ill the cotton region than any other ieguminous crop. They are fairly well adapted to all types of soil, when well drained, and they make good crop for either hay or pasture. Cowpeas are easily grown, and the seed is rel atively inexpensive. They may be used to occupy the ground as regular crop, but are also well adapted as catch crop for pasfurage or for green ma nure. When well cultivated, they leave the soil in good condition to harrow without blowing for grain or other crops.
 There are many varieties of cow peas, which vary considerably in hab- its of growth and time of ripening. The Whippoorwill and the Croft are vigorous, upright growers and there fore well adapted for heavy yields of hay. Trailing varieties, like the Black, the Red Ripper, or the Unknown, are good for pasture and to leave on the ground during the winter for soil en- richment. Under each of these three names, however, various different va rieties occur in the seed trade. The Iron and the Brabham are noted for their resistance to wilt and root knot, diseases which frequently occur, and they alone should be used where these pests are prevalent.
 Cowpeas may be sown in rows or mits of cultivation, requires less seed, and usually gives better yields, while the latter way requires less labor. When sown in rows they should be from three to four feet apart, and from two to three pecks of seed per acre should be used. Sorghum or corn is sometimes sown with cowpeas to be used for hay or silage. The cowpeas are held off the ground in this way, and the stalks keep the cut cowpeas loose, so that air is admitted more readily and the hay is easily cured.
 Curing cowpeas hay during a rainy season is difficult, and for this reason planting should be done at such times that the cowpeas will be. ready to cut during the dry weather which is com- mon in September and October in most parts of the South. The hay should be cut when the pods begin to turn yellow, but cutting may be deferred till later in case of unfavorab1e wealth CT. The ordinary mower is the best machine for cutting When the. vines are thoroughly wilted they should be turned with tedder or pitchfork and may then remain for 24 hours or so before being raked into windrows. The hay should then be put into cocks and remain there until it is sufficiently cured for hauling to stack or barn. When the weather is especially favor able the curing may be done in the windrows, thereby saving the labor of cooking It 1t gets wet in the wind row it should be spread out to dry as soon as the water has dried from the

SPRING WORK ON GOOD ROADS
One or Two Trips Up and Down With Drag Will Put Them in Fine Con-
 dition-Details of a Drag.
By LEO MATTHEWs.l

In. the spring of the year, when the roads begin to dry and the dirt is still somewhat moist, one or two trips up and down with the road drag will put them in excellent condition. If each farmer would care for the road which passes his place, dragging 1t every time it needed it, we would all have occasion to rejoice.
 Personally, I don't believe there is a steel drag made that will beat the work of the old King drag. Another point in its favor is that it can be made at home and costs practically nothing.
 Because of constant inquiry for plans of this drag and to encourage

DRIFT MINES
 ARE REPORTED
 ALONG COAST

CHRISTIANIA, Oct. 26.-Drifting minefields are reported along the whole Norwegian coast from Lister land eastwards. Off Hallo twenty mines were seen drifting north to Christiania Fjord, and from Halvo many explosions have been heard.
 The drifting minefields are sur rounded by mass of drifting wreckage. Norwegian motor-boats have salved many casks of wine, margarine and whale oil. Other boats report encountering "great masses of glass balls rolled up in steel wire and rope work, which seemed to be type of U-boat net. :"
 The ownership of the drifting mine-field is matter of doubt in the minds of some. Certainly nobody is anxious to claim them, for they do not conform to the rules of the Hague Convention which prescribes that mines shall be so constructed that they become harmless when adrift.
