How TO Dig.

Chicago Tribune: There are several
ways of digging to get good results. one
is to take a width" of the shovel as
deep as it will go, across the bed and
then go back and scoop out two to four
inches of the subsoil and scatter it over
the top Of the unraked earth Another
is to trench the bed by the following
process:
Beginning at the left hand end of a
bed, throw out a width Of two shoyels
back to the end of the bed. deep
enough to catch an inch or two OF the
subsoil. Going to the front again, dig
up the width of two shoyels and throw
it to the left into the trench from which
the first two shovel widths came
This should be repeated until tn,
whole bed is dug, when you will hay,
reversed the position of the entire soil
mass and at the same time well treated
the soil and broken il apart as fully as
it can be done with an implement useC
Tor digging This is neither as compli
Gated nor as laborious as II would seem
and is considered by English gardeners
the perfect method.

HOLLANDS CATTLE GROW
LEAN IN THE MEADOWS
Gloomy Pictures Are Drawn Of Agricult-
ural Conditions.

The Hague, Netherlands, August 30.
Correspondence of the Associated
Pressp-Gloomy pictures are being
drawn here of the agricultural outlook
in Holland as the result OF the stoppage
Of stock feed exports from America.
The acuteness OF the position has been
enhanced by poor hay crop, and the
small farmer in particular is faced
with the greatest difficulties.
According to the well informed ag-
ricultural correspondent of the Nieuws
Van Der Dag, cattle breeders are in
great distress and cattle are growing
lean in the meadows. Pig fattening has
come to a standstill. III the supplies of
feed and fertilizers are stopped" he
writes, cattle breeding and agriculture
will go TO ruin.
IF the world-market be closed TO us
and this is what happens if we can
not export to ny-agriculture and
market gardening will receive theiI

the whole nation will suffer. The IL
nancal status Of the country popula-
ton will decline. Many of the small
farmers have already reached the limit
OF their financial capacity. and are on
the verge OF absolute impoverishment'
Matters have come to such pass that
the cattle have to be sold at half their
original price There goes the farm
er's working capital, together with the
profits. The whole nation is face TO
face with bad winter"
An official report just issued shows
that nearly $4,000 acres less land is
under crops this year than in 1916
doubtless partly owing to the shortage
of fertilizers. There is an increase OF
the area under grain, but this is like
a drop i'm the bucket compared with
the over sea imports.

PENALTY FOR LIBERTY.
Lesson John Ruskin Learned in His
Early Childhood.

Youths Companion: In the matter Of
discipline John Ruskin's mother was a
Spencerian before Spencer. Let your

pher. be like the penalties inflicted by
inanimate nature, inevitable The hot
cinder burns a child the first time he
seizes IT, Il burns him the second time
II burns him every time and he very
soon learns not 20 touch the hot cinder."
That was Mrs Ruskin's method. To H.
lustraje her way Of teaching lessons.
Ruskin used TO tell the following Incl
deat OF his early childhood. which his
mother was fond Of relating:
One evening. when was yet in my
nurses arms I wanted 20 touch the tea
urn. which was boiling merrily. Il was
an early taste for bronZes. ! suppose.

hade me keep my fingers back. I in
sisted on putting them forward. Ny
nurse would have taken me away from
the urn but my mother said:
