When there is a surplus of fruits or

Can or preserve all surplus food from
gardens for winter use. In mornings
work with ordinary home utensils, you
can put up many cans of vegetables and
fruit for winter use. If you have no

For Spring Flowers.

If you desire early blossoms, now is
the time to sow the seeds of towering
ANIMALS, and Farm and Fireside gives the
following directions for seed planting.
The plants may be started in the house
or hotbed. Sow seeds in shallow boxes,
but provide drainage by putting one inch
of coarse material in the bottom of the
box before filling it with finer soil
Seed should be dropped into shallow
drills rather than sown broadcast, as it
is easier to cover seed to sufficient
depth to assure proper termination, to
keep varieties separate, and to trans
plant.
When the plants have two to four
leaves, they should be transplanted to
other boxes and set far enough apart to
insure steady growth. Here they may
be left to grow until time to set them
outside. In case seed is sown in the
house, plants should be exposed to the
sunlight in south or southwest window.
Care should be taken in preparing the
flower bed if good results are to be ex-
rected. A heavy coating of well rotted
barnyard manure should be applied. This
should be spaded in deeply as soon as
the soil will work up freely and the sur
face should be raked and made smooth.
The beds may then be planted according
to plans made before the seeds were
sown.
The most common type of flower bed is
the circular one. This has many posi-
bilities. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that the tallest growing plants should be
Mo in la mil ha lou
ing plants on the outside, the shortest
plants making the border. Many types
of flower beds are used, particularly
those made in the form of star, or
crescent.

FRENCH OFFICERS
COME TO HARVARD
Will Assist in Instruction of Reserve
Officers Training Corps--Great
Welcome Given Them.

Boston, April 2S.--The five French
army officers, headed by Major Azan,
who will assist in the military instruc-
ton of the Harvard reserve officers
training corps, arrived in Boston soon
after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon by
the New Haven shoreline train from New
York. Much of Harvard was out to meet
them at the South station--certainly
most departments of the university were
represented, and there were not few
graduates in the crowd The reception
approached what Joffre may expect.
Odin Roberts, president of the Harvard
Club of Boston, was the host of the five
officers on the way from New York,
where they were guests of the Harvard
club; and therefore it was a step from
club to club, for in Boston the officers
will be entertained by the Harvard club.
At the South station President Roberts
yielded the post of host-in-chief to Presi
dent Lowell, and under their new escort,
supplemented and fanked by the mem
bers OF the reserve officers training corps,
the officers made their way in the parade
LHdL uHdlIg NouHu up at LHt iIalhdIu
club in Commonwealth avenue.
The reserve officers training corps and
the Harvard band led the way, and along
the route there was much cheering for
the Frenchmcn, to which they responded
appreeia lively.
Special subway trains were used to
bring the Harvard soldiers to Boston, and
after they had escorted the French Off
GERS to the Harvard club they were re-
viewed from the steps of the clubhouse.
The French colors, the Stars and
Stripes and the eolors of Harvard were
carried in the procession, and at the club
the French colors were shown outside
and the colors of all the allies in Har-
ward hall.
The line Of march was through Federal
street to Milk, Congress, State, Washing
ton, School, Beacon, to Dartmouth, to
Commonwealth avenue and so ON to the
clubhouse. The marchers were
reviewed by Mayor Curley and Governor
Mccall.

ahead of them. A large section of the territory which Turkey formerly controlled Is now in the hands of either the Russian or British forces, together with several of their impor- tant cities. Besides this the Turks have been pushed out of Persia while they are slowly but surely being driven from Palestine
 With these victories there is also the Joining of lines by the Russian and British north of Bagdad. which prog ress bids fair to cut off the Turkish army which has been caught east of their lines. Trapped as they are with lines of communication cut and sup plies shut off the prospects appear to be good that they will be forced to surrender unless they can find. what doesn't appear to be possible now. some means of escape. They have of course the alternative of the desert but there is nothing in such a move which offers any encouragement.
 Thus the campaign which is being conducted against the Turks cannot fail to give much encouragement to the entente. Not only has that empire more than it can successfully attend to in resisting the forces which are fighting it from three directions but it's position thereby becomes such that it must of necessity call back those troops which have been sent into the Balkans to aid the Germans and Bull garians in their drive towards Russia through Rumania, and the impression is fast growing that Turkey is being converted from an asset to an en- cumbrance.

IN A STATE OF WAR. ..

Exactly in accordance with what was expected of it, congress has de- clared that a state of war exists be- tween the United States and Germany and the resolution which both houses passed after a general debate has re- ceived the signature of President Will son. The step which this country has thus taken will bear the date Of April
 From the course which has. bssn sfar- lowed it has been made plain that there has been no attempt made to bring about action with undue haste. Those who wanted to talk have been heard but throughout it aA-it-has s been apparent, as several of the con- gressmen upon whom the srespensi- bility for such a step rasted,- ha7N said, that the time had arrived for action and not words That there was not a unanimous vote in favor of the resolution in either house is no cause for surprise. What question is there of any importance brought be- fore congress which meets the appro- val of each and every member? But now that the course of this govern ment has been decided, now that it has decided to defend it's honor instead of paSSively submitting to the manner in which it's rights have been trampled upon and now that this country is going to enter asgressively into the titanic struggle it not only ought to be expected but it ought to be a fact set forth beyond dispute that each and every member Of congress stands ready to do his utmost in bringing about successful termination of the war This is the duty which rests upon the people and most certainly does it fall upon the shoulders of their rep resentatives in Washington Now mere than ever must partisan politics give way to patriotism This country enters the war without selfish mo- tives. It is fighting for humanity and the extension of liberty and there can be no turning back.
