THE WHITE CREMATION
By BETTY PAKE.

The search of the pure white carna- ton, one that will keep its pure color for long period, has never been quite successful.
 It is fact that the average variety remains under cultivation but few years, and they are constantly running out. They must, therefore, constantly be replaced by newer and more vigor- ous varieties grown from the seed. Of ten carnation that produces beauti- full white flowers for two or three years fails entirely after that time.
 The common garden soil will not do for the carnation. It should be com posed of about three-fourths rich, dark loam and one-fourth well-rotted ma nure. This should be thoroughly mixed several times and by September the first cuttings should be placed in boxes about five inches deep. Set the plants about ten inches apart.
 Syringe thoroughly with water until they have a good start. The plants should be staked in order to keep the flowers above the foliage.
 The soil should be frequently treated with liquid manure-cow, sheep, or hen droppings are excellent-but 1t should not be too strong, say about the color of weak tea.
 If you want large flowers you must disbud the plants judiciously. Give them plenty of water and ventilation, and syringe with tobacco extract to discourage the red spider.
 If potted. they should be in pots of from four to seven inches, according to the size of the plants.

FEASIBLE WIDTH OF ROADS
First Deputy Highway Commissioner of New York Tells of Troubles
 Encountered by Him.

Most of the roads built in New York by the state are 16 feet wide. When money was voted for the highway sys- tenn it was on the basis of approxi- mately $13,000 per mile. This was in 1912, and $13,000 was a low figure even for that date. Under present conditions 1t is obviously impossible to complete the system as planned then, and extra width is serious ex- pense. H. Eltinge Breed, first deputy highway commissioner of New York, recently stated that only by the strict est economy, by substituting different classes of pavement within certain Him. its of cost, and by using federal aid, will it be practicable to have all the important roads brought together into a good highway system. It would be far better, he says, if there were suffi- cient funds to build them IS feet wide for two lines of traffic and 24 feet for three lines. The use of motor ve- hicles is steadily increasing and they are being constructed wider. Hence they require paVements where vehicles at least 90 inches wide can pass one another comfortably and frequently. Eighteen feet is probably the narrow. est width that permits this, according to MT. Breed. Especially is this true, he says, in the case of concrete roads, because the transition from the hard concrete surface to the earth shoulder and back again becomes really danger ous in some soils on account of the rut that traffic usually wears along the joining line.

large voice in congressional and legis- lative matters, are getting new light upon the dignity and the importance of agriculture that will send valuable aid behind the coming legislation for the protection of the gardener and the farmer, and will put behind the de- partment of agriculture representa- tiyes of great wealth, with a newly born sympathy and understanding that have never existed in this country be- fore.
 Many a statesman who used to won der why an appropriation for the de- velopment of potatoes, or the like, was necessary in a billion-dollar bud get will in future take off his hat to the potato and favor raising the ap- propriation instead of cutting it.
 So much, anyway, is to be gained from the mobilization of the city hoe brigade, and for that the entire farm ing and gardening population of the country will be duly thankful.

in certain sections of Arizona and other Western states. In these regions a few persons are engaged in raising a thousand or more turkeys season The establishments are located where the range is unlimited and the natural food of the turkey, such as grasshop pers and other insects, green vegeta tion, and the seeds of various weeds and grasses, is abundant. Advantage also is taken on these ranches Of the turkeys relish for acorns, and where these are plentiful but little grain need be used for fattening in the fall.
 The large flocks of turkeys are maD aged much like herds of sheep, beng taken out to the range early in the morning, and brought home to roost at night. They are herded during the day by men either on foot or on horse back, and by dogs especially trained for the work.

USE MOTOR VACUUM CLEANER
Latest Municipal Development Makes It's Appearance in Los Angeles
 Method Is Practical.

The latest municipal development to make its appearance in the western part of the country is the motor vacuum street cleaning apparatus, which has been adopted by the city of Los An geles, Cal, says Power Wagon. For months this newest of street cleaning features had been under discussion, but it was not until short time ago that 1t was really put into practice. That this new cleaning method is en- tirely practical has been proved by days of actual demonstration.

newals are necessary; availability as a base for another type of surface if desirable; attractive appearance.
 The durability of concrete roads has not yet been fully proved because there are no old pavements in existence. The condition of those which have under gone several years service indicates they wear well.
 The disadvantages of concrete as a road surface are its noise under horse traffic; the wearing of the necessary joints in the pavement, and the ten deney to crack, with it's consequent rapid deterioration; the difficulty of repairs when these become necessary.

BOTHER WITH EARLY CHICKS
Leg Weakness and Bowel Troubles Are Most Common Complaints
 Two Ordinary Causes.

Many have had trouble with theii early chicks. Leg weakness and bowel trouble are the most common com plaints. The general causes for these troubles are overlooking and too close confinement and the two usually go together. That which would be re garded as overfeeding in small runs would not be overlooking where the chicks were out on the ground and permitted to run at will. Chicks confined to basement or in build ings continually, should have moisi earth to scratch in and even then, should not be long confined to such runs.
 The cold will not hurt them if they can return to the warm hover at VIII and they will very soon learn where to find it.

MILEAGE OF CONCRETE ROADS
There Were 1s,ooo,ooo Square Yards of 1t In 1914 and Only 364,oo0
 Yards in 1909.

The mileage of concrete pavements in the United States has increased rap. idly, and 1t is likely to continue to in- crease. There were 100000 square yards of it in 1914 and only 364,O00 square yards in 1909. The principal advantages of concrete pavements are said to be durability under ordinary traffic conditions; a smooth, even sur face; absence of dust; comparatively small cost of maintenance until re-

WHEN A GREAT CITY GOES
 ALARMING.
By ELIZABETH VAN BENrHuYsEN.

By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN.
 There is something intensely inter- esting to the farmer of the districts where fields are considered in terms of acres, in the picture of the city man, under stress of war necessity, or fear dropping the stock ticker for the spade. One involuntarily closes the eyes and visualizes Edwin Markham's great picture of "The Man With the Hoe" The figure is not bowed by the weight of centuries. A silk hat takes the place of the wool sombrero, a froek coat the place of the overalls. And yet the underlying motive is all the same.
 It is the necessity of getting Old Mother Earth to yield food for her children.
 l have frequently told my readers of the wonderful flower gardens that skirt the palaces of Long Island and of the Jersey coast. Surely nothing half so costly and artistic can be found either in fairy lore or actual development. Now the garden is being deserted for the truck patch, and the potato is of more import than the rose.
 All of the fashionable world. it's wife and it's son and it's daughter, have gone alarming. From the pathetic little window box, in which city dwell lers are experimenting with seeds on acknowledges high above the surging street throngs, to the most seien- tific and elaborate truck patches in the Long Island and Jersey districts. the cabbage has come to attract more at tention than the prize chrysanthemum and the prospect for onions is more al- turing than the hope of making q tu- lip bed that will be the jealous pride of the owner.
 Prominent in the movement to teach the residents of the metropolitan dis trict how to farm is Mrs William K. Vanderbilt, Jr. She is working through the suburban districts at the head of a committee of rich women, using special train. They are teach ing the women along the line to pre- serve and can and save food products 70 relieve the war-made conditions.
 What the men and women of the West and of the South have been learn ing for 30 years in the state-supported agricultural colleges is now being taught to the city dwellers and the suburbanite, and they are taking to the study with zest that would lead one to believe that scientific farming was discovery of the last four months. True. they haven't got along far enough to consider the chemical analysis of the soil and the scientific determination of the clements needed to make it fruitful, but they are learn ing the elementary points rapidly.
 New York city requires every day an endless procession of freight trains to supply it with food. Most of the supply has in the past come from farms comparatively remote from the city. Now the newly promoted move ment is resulting in planting truck at the back door, with the automobile for speedy transportation along the excel lent roads to the great market centers.
 There is coming from this activity one great national benefit that is not generally considered. Political leaders from the congested districts, who have

BEAUTIFUL WINDOW PLANT.

A beautiful blue lowered window plant is the browallia speciosa. It has charming blue flowers and beauti- full foliage. It blooms freely through out the winter and is a good summer bloomer as we'll. Several plants can be set in fiye-inch pot and if pinched back several times the clump will be- come dense, globular mass of foliage and rich bloom. It deserves to be better known.
