I EVA GARDENER

Without moisture no garden would
amount to anything. This does not
mean ,aprinklihg with o hose, for there
are summers in which no sprinkling
Is needed II the top soil Is kept well
mulched. In hot dry spells Of consid.
cradle duration, the moisture from
near the surface may be evaporated.
Then get out the hose, or If the
garden Is small and you have plenty Of
time, use the sprinkltng can.
Don't sprinkle every evening, some
people imagine that little water ev-
cry evening is what a garden needs.
A little sprinkling does more harm
than good. If you sprinkle do 1t thoro.
oughly.
Remember the ground, not the plant,
needs the water. So try to get the wa
ter to the surface near the plants
stem. And drench the ground.
A well:hoed garden never needs
more than two or three sprinklings
even during dry summer If done
well.
If you have no garden hose, dig
a little ditch into the middle Of your
garden, and then smaller bitches along
each row. Let the water flow through
these until every row is well watered.

Disease May Be Inherited From Hens
With Infected ovarles-Treat-
rnent for Trouble.

White diarrhea is caused by bac.
terra. The disease may be inherited
from hens with infected ovarles, or
pass from chick to chick. In the lat
ter case the greatest period of danger
is during the first three days after
Matching. Badly infected chicks are
not worth curing. Never let a chick
that has shown symptoms Of diar-
rhea be used as breeders or you will
have affected stock next season. If
the nostrlls of chicks close up, which
compels the chick to breathe through
Its mouth, the air passages Of the
lungs are affected.
Treatment: Moisten the tongue with
glycerin and water several times a
day. Keep the chicks of fowls warm
and well supplied with water; give
the bird internally olive oil or castor
oil; feed soft foods.

EGGS FOR MATCHING

Eggs selected for Matching
should weigh not less than two
ounces nor more than two and
a quarter ounces each. Eggs Sc
lected for incubation should
have clean, smooth, strong shells
which are free from ridges,
cracks, transparent spots or lime
deposits.
Where all Of the eggs consid-
cred are Of the same variety,
there is definite correlation be-
tween the size of the egg incu-
bated, the size of the chick when
Matched, and the size Of the
chick from ten to twenty weeks
old.
Eggs selected for Matching
should be Of a true egg type.
Exceptionally long eggs and very
short, rounded eggs are equally
Objectionable. Malformed eggs
should never be incubated.
These eggs are usually difficult
to hatch. White eggs and brown
eggs should not be incubated to-
gether.

GOOD cHIcK.eRoWING MASH
Mixture Of Bran, MlddIlnes, cornmeaI
and Beef Scrap Is Favored
Feed In Hopper.

After the chicks are ten days old
a good growing mash, composed Of
two parts by weight of bran, two parts
middlings, one part cornmeal, one part
low.grade wheat -four or red-dog mid
dlings, and 10 per cent sifted beef
scrap, may be placed in a hopper and
left before them all the time. The
mash may be fed either wet or dry; if
wet, only enough moisture (either milk
or water) should be added to make the
feed crumbly, but in no sense sloppy.
When this growing mash or mixture is
not used, a hopper containing bran
should be accessible to the chickens at
all times.

U. S. CONTROL OF ROADS

POWER OVER INDUSTRIES

President Wilson. through his proc
lamation placing railroads under
Federal control tomorrow, places all
the great industries OF the nation
upon an immediate war basis.
Even as the great transportation
lines reach out into every Industrial
center, practically determining the
success or failure OF all commercial
enterprise, so will the Government
now determine what industries may
survive or perish through ability or
to move their products.
Non-wsr products Will be placed last
in the list OF commodities to be
moved, particularly in the congested
territories Of the East and South. The
railroad " ar board. which will act in
an advisory capacity with McAdOO al
ready has listed about 500 commodi-
ties as non-essentials-in including jew
elry, liquor, and luXuries Of every de-

"The Government OF the United

MeAdOo Controls Financing.
One OF the compelling problems, OF
course, will be the taking care OF new
financing which may be needed. This
Is matter that the President has left
entirely to Secretary McAdoo's dis
erection. and he can be depended on to
dispose of it only as the problems in
dividually present themselves.
Today the President will take up
with the railroad brotherhoods ques-
lions OF labor. affecting all employees

property OF hundreds of thousands of
American investors in railroad stocks
amounting to more than $40 900 ,OOO,-

ism labor had been managed as badly
as ours, 1t would have resulted In
a disgraceful peace" The stupidity
OF this meddlesome Princox was per-
maps unequaled by his insoIence. II
anything could equal such stupidity.
Admiral Bowles gave the Senate
Commerce Committee Information
about delay resulting from mib-
ping over costs" The question was
on the old Denman-Go ethals-Capps
complications. The admiral said
that on contracts involving about
S3OO,0OO,OOO, time necessary for
scrutiny had saved the Government
considerable sum. He thought IL
would figure out about fifteen mil
lion. Nobody said this was too in
considerable to bubble" over.
Gen: John F. Organ, of the New
York National Guard, told the SEN
ate Committee on Military Affairs
all about his division at Spartan
burg, S. c., yesterday. In his opin-
ION, British and French troops are
more warmly clothed than ours. The
cloth of their uniforms seemed to
him heavier and better than ours.
He did not think that our blankets
now are as good as blankets were
several years ago. He had found
ratiOns good and the men satisfied
with them, though not with the
green wood supplied for cooking and
heating. In the general conduct of
the war, he did not think it possible
to supply too much artillery.
Finding a shortage of 10000 over
coats and $1,000 wooden blouses at
various camps, the Military Affairs
Committee urged the Secretary of
War by resolutions to break away
from presidents and get the clothing
at once, regardless of everything ex-
cept stopping the men in camp from
shivering.
The Senate Committee on Inter-
state Commerce meets Saturday
morning at half past 10 o'clock. By
that time the question of how far
the railroad dictator" can dictate
may be open for the first preliminary
survey.
Fuel Administrator Garfield has
been called "the coal Dictator" He
spent the day yesterday before the
Senate Committee on Manufactures
the system, which is not |
yet one of dictation but of "co-ordi- |
nation and unification."
Doctor Garfield is one of the best |
possible witnesses on economic con-
ditions. He made everything in
economic conditions so clear that it |
could have been understood by the !
junior class in Williams College, of
which, when not administering coal,
he is president. The only mystery
left is of uneconomic conditions in
of coal.
His fuel organization, as now per-
fected, co-ordinates mine operators
and railroad systems.
He is REINFORCED by the best vol

AS in the case Of sugar, the sys-
tenn of efficiency is essentially that
of the cold line trusts" which aimed
to fix prices, to divide territory so as
to stop competition, and to allocate"
or allot the visible supply of coal to
the consumer and to the various in
dustries depending on it.
As a trust system, it was "re-
straint of trade" Co-ordinated and
unified, with the Government pre-
venting restraint of trade, it is ex-
pected to become highly satisfactory
as soon as it delivers coal when
in satisfactory quantities at
satisfactory prices.
