Expert Advice on Food Gardens

When the garden is not shaded the
lettuce may be artifcially shaded in
hot weather by a movable screen made
by stretching cheesecloth over a V
shaped frame made of light strips of
wood The sides of this frame should
be > or feet wide, and the frame
ought to be 10 or T. feet long. The
cloth will partially shade the plant,
retard evaporation of the soil 8 mois-
ture, and enable the grower to pro-
duee crisp, good favored lettuce in
summer.
Head lettuce seed should be planted
early in the season, half ounce being
enough to plant 100 feet of row. The
plants when quite small should be
thinncd to stand 6 to s inches apart,
while the rows ought to be one foot
apart at least. The plant needs much
moisture, hence thorough cultivation
should be given, while artificial water
ing helps the crop in dry weather. The
entire head should be cut for use.
Romano leaves grow erect and
form a loose head. The crop is grown
the same way as head lettuce, except
that when the plants are grown the
outer leaves should be tied together at
the top to bleach the inner leaves

Two dogs, one from Ludlow and one
from Springfield, Mass, were used.
One hound took the trail near the
Daley farm in Evarts and followed it
across a plowed field losing it on en-
tering the woods. The other dog fol
lowed the scent for two or three miles
only to lose it.
A report was received here that
Thompson had come out of the woods
near Quechee, five miles from Evarts
and had secured food at farm house,

pearcd to be rational
The dogs will be placed on the trail
at this farm house today, and now that
it is known Thompson has obtained
food it is hoped that he will be round
alive. \ large number of men will
leave this village to participate in the
search.
Thompson left his home Tuesday
morning, stating that he was going t.

started. He had been i'll during the
greater part of the winter and it is
believed that his mind is unbalanced.

WATER FAMINE AT FORT.
Shortage Of 10000 Gallons a Day at

BCRLINGTON, May l2-Tha water

reached such proportions that immcai-
ate action must be taken to relieve the
situation. !. ). KIdder, supcrinten-
dent Of the Burlington water system,
was called in consultation with the au-
thorities at the fort today. The logical
solution OF the problem would seem to
be the pumping OF water from the Bur

TEN and the placing ofrpumls in The
Winooski reservoir by the fort authori-
ties and the laying OF a line of pipe to
the fort
The shortage at the font is said to
he about 100000 gallons a day and in
view of the fact that two additional
regiments and several thousand horses
are to he sent there in the near future
il is Imperative that immediate action
he taken.

SAN FRANCISCO

The first white men to visit San Francisco Bay were of the expedi- ton of Portola, a Spanish adventurer who became the first governor of Cal ifornia. Portola himself was not a member of the party which, 148 years ago today, gazed down upon a bay and the surrounding shores which were to become the sites of the populous cities of San Francisco and Oakland The names of the men who first beheld the Bay of San Francisco are not recorded, but the honor of discovery probably belongs to Father Juan Cresp, and Sergeant Ortega. On the morning of Oct. 31, 1769, they ascepded hill, and says Crespi: "As soon as we had arrived on the summit we came in sight of a large bay, formed by a promontory of land which extends into the sea and resembles an island" The priest adds that the soldiers in the party saw beautiful plains. studded with groves" and "the smoke coming up in all parts left no doubt that this locality was thickly inhabited" Cas- par de Portola, "certain of dragoons and Governor of the Californias," probably never saw the bay, but his name is perpetuated as the discoverer by the annual Portola festivals in San Francisco. Sir Francis Drake came near discovering the bay in 1879, when he landed at a point thir- ty miles to the northwest.
