For city lot soil that Is hard, impoverished or
rocky, Mr.. Abaugh has invented a system
of gardening. From 1t he has achieved such sur
prisngly favorable results as to augur great
future for the Sandwich" method of city

The next step is to spread evenly over the

fine river sand, rich garden soil and old, fine

friends of the birds The cat is crafty bird
catcher by nature. Cats have been seen lying in
wait for the winged victims which are attracted to
the feast so bountifuy spread. They have even
been accused Of decoying birds within the reach Of
their paws by initiating the note Of the feathered
songsters They climb the trees by night and day
in quest of eggs and fedglings.
John Burroughs declares that cats kill more
birds than do any other animals on this continent
1t is also charged that the cat kills squirrels
and hares and rabbits moles and shrews and fish
over-rated.
Rat traps when well handled, are credited with
surprising the cat in efficiency. The other day
there was put on exhibition illustration of the
efficiency Of the cat. The cabin Of a steamship was
fumgated with the result Of mortality of one cat
and "a rats which the cat was supposed to keep
away When the cat Is right on the premises the
mice play Just as much when he Is away, say
the enemies Of the cat only they keep out Of sight
Sew persons in a normal lifetime" insists DR..
A. K Fisher who Is In charge Of economic investi-
cations for the bureau Of biological survey Of the
United States department Of agriculture, run
across more than half dozen cats that habitually
attack rats"
When the cat is permitted to run wild the ex-
perts decline to give him the slightest excuse for
living
The known facts that the domestic cat, stray
ing into the fields and woods, whether a pet a
vagabond or a wild dweller in the open, is a menace
to wild life and detriment to the general welfare
As further argument against the cat the charge
is made against him that he disseminates disease
by becoming the playmate of sick children and that
he carries microbes in his fur, lockjaw In the
scratch of his claw. and rabies in the bite Of his
teeth.-New York Sun.

SUFFERING CATS!

Client seat of culture the cat is supposed to have
spread Europe. The animal in Europe was
adopted by man pet about the ninth century.
There is something inherently wild about the
cat that even when he reposes on silk cushions and
has his fur combed with cellulod and has cream
every day he has within him the old spark of
savagery.
The cat is of the of the sabertoothed tiger
and is credited with insatiably bloodthirsty dis
position. He torments his prey. He has no abid-
ing affection for those whose hands have fed him.

that there Is in the cat ungrateful spirit which
prevents him from being attached to anyone.

best results plants need aeration at the roots If

face of the ground is covered with water. the
plant suffers in the same way and for the same
reason. The Sandwich beds" can neither be

ana the decaying mass OF hbrOus material retains
moisture to such extent that only nominal

A steel garden rake, spading fork, small garden
trowel. long handled shovel, manure fork,

that need be purchased. Mr.. Albaugh uses

The provisioning Of the country will be much
aided by the educational work among boys and
through the cooperation of the department of
agriculture and the rural school garden clubs of
the various states. The younger generation has
been stimulated in the raising of vegetables and
fruits waste land and in the backwards In
the cities and towns.
An example of what can be accomplished by
the pupils OF rural schools strkingly demon
strated last year by the Cook County, Illinois,
Garden club which had a membership Of 2,3S7.
The club cultivated 260 acres of land upon
which grew nearly $4,000 worth of vegetables.
After deducting expenses the club members had a
net profit of SAL .6292S If these 2,3S7 boys and
girls had not grown these gardens, probably "a
per cent of them would have been de-doing
misunderstanding away time and energy. The
gardens gave helpful exercise, stimulated interest
and encouraged thrift and ownership.
The economic side of the problem is aston

portance, is the wholesome, moral influence
brought to bear upon the lives of these young
people who are receiving excellent training
in doing worthwhile things.
