Soldiers Clad in Steel.

Getting its inspiration from the val
liable service already performed by the
steel helmet, La Nature of Paris sug-
geSts that the soldiers entire body
should be incased in armor. 1t proposes,
says Popular Science Monthly. that
the sides Of the head, neck and upper
part of the chest be covered with a
gerget, a kind of collar. and the loins
with kind of skirt, like the lower
part of habergeon, both in chain
mail. \ cuifass, or breastplate, Of mov-
able plates of Steel would protect the
chest and back, and hinged steel elbow
pieces and knee pieces would cover the
joints 4 face mask and goggles would
complete the suit The armor would
be light enough to afford perfect free.

ABOUT PLANTING SEED.

# you soak your seeds in water for
few hours preferably warm water,
they will germinats more quickly.
Some seeds require this treatment.
Large, hard-shelled seeds like Gamma,
require careful filing to break the
tough. outer cover, but extreme care
must be taken not to injure the germ.
The sowing of fern spores on n
brick. covered with Just Il sprinkling
of earth, is an interesting garden
study. BY keeping the brick in a pan
of water sufficient water is supplied.
Cypress vines will stand quite warm
water poured over the seeds L hours
before planting.
1t is scarcely profitable for the am
ateur to raise most of greenhouse
plants or similar delicate ones, though
geraniums and a number of the larger
seeds are as easily managed as pansy
or an aster, and one cam get a good
variety at a small cost
\ good rule is to plant a seed twice
its own depth, and in case of small
seeds it is essential to have the ground
finely pulveriZed.

THE AMATEURS GARDEN.
Bv ELIZABETH VAN BENTAuYsEN

BY ELIZABET n VAN BEN HUYSEN
Do not begin by planning Il larger
garden than you can possibly care for.
Gardening is great joy but it entails
much hard work and 1t should not be
contemplated in light vein. for while
the results are worth all the effort
given TO it. many back-aches are the
portion of the Young and ineXperi-
enced tiller of the soil.
There is, fortunately, a class Of an
nuals which might we'll be called
''standbys.a the kind which bloom well
under almost any condition. These
are the kind l would advise the anna
teur 10 work with.
Early sowing of seed enables the
plants to get good root system.
Have large bed of nasturtiums.
They are easy to grow. Petunias are
also beautiful and easy of culture.
The petunia may be m&de to renew
itself by going over the bed in Au
gust and moving off the top of every
plant.
In short time new shoots Will be
sent up and from these, during the lat
ter part of the summer, you may eX-
peet flowers quite as fine in all re-
spects as those of early summer. In
order to Keep nasturtiums blooming
throughout the season, do not allow
seed to FORM
1t Is often advisable with nasturti-
ums to cut off a good many leaves in
order to give the flowers Il chance TO
display themselves.
Do not use too much fertilizer in the
cultivation of this plant. as rich soil
induces the development of fHXuriant
growth rather than The production of
large quantities of flowers.
The garden that is without the an
nual phlox Is missing a great oppor-
tunity for the display OF beauty. This
plant IS one of the very best we have
for massing 1t is rarely satisfactory
when grown in small quantities or rs
Il single specimen.
Exquisite in combination are the
soft yellows. pinlls and white varieties.
If you are fond of ribbon gardening
effects, this plant lends itself to it adj
mirably. There are other cotors, red,
scarlet. lilac, all good by themselves
but not effective When used in con-
junction with the more delicate tints.
Cosmos, We're it not for its late-flow-
ering habit, would be one of our most
popular flowers. But unless 1t is pro-
tected, it is pretty apt to be injured
by the early frosts. If you are wiling
to protect it around about September
20, by all means plant it.
For cutting, these flowers are SUI
perb. In the long spell of pleasant
weather. which so often follows the
early frosts, it is a most desirable ac-
QUESTION To the flower kingdom.
For a hedge, there is nothing more
handsome than 2iunias. These grow
10 height of three and four feet; ;
they branch freely from the ground
up, and every branch will bear flow
ers by the dozen-large, small and
medium-and few flowers iii the gar
den will give such a combination of
color.
One of the strongest arguments to
urge for the selection of this plant is
its easy culture. Ii viii grow as read
lily as cabbage
In planting for a hedge, let the
plants stand about Is inches apart.

REDUCE ANTHRAX LOSS
Responsible for Death of Large
Numbers of Live Stock.
Disease Affects Chiefly Cattle and
Sheep, But None of Domestic Ami
mails Are Exempt-Vaccina-
ton Is Favored.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Losses from anthrax, or Charlton,
which at the present time is response
Bile for the death of large numbers Of
live stock in low, moist lands of more
or less mucky character, may be mini
mized by the proper use of protective
vaccine and the proper disposal of the
carcasses of infected animals. This
disease affects chiefly cattle and sheep,
but none of the domestic animals is
exempt, and even man is sometimes
victim. Some centuries ago 1t is known
to have caused the death of more than
10000 persons in southern Europe.
Since that time the disease has appar-
emily become less virulent, but it is
still the cause of considerable loss to
stock owners.
In Farmers Bulletin No. 7S4, detailed
directions for the administration of
the vaccine are given. Stock owners
are warned to obtain the serum and
vaccine from reliable manufacturers
only, and not to administer the treat
peared in the vicinity or the pastures
on which the animals are to be turned
cut are known to be infected. Care
less handling of the vaccine may result
in spreading instead of controlling the
disease.
The cause of anthrax is a minute
germ which multiplies rapidly in the
body, especially in the blood, and pro-
duces poisonous substances which or
dinarily cause death The symptoms
of the disease resemble, in certain re-
spects. those of tick fever and black
leg. The differences which will en-
able stock owners to distinguish it
from them are described in detail in
the bulletin already mentioned In
acute cases. however, medicinal treat
ment is seldom effective. For this rea-
son the best methods of combating the
disease are to vaceinate all animals
likely TO be exposed to the infection
and by deep burying or cremating of
infected carcasses. to make certain that
the infection is not allowed to establish
itself in pastures.
Under certain conditions and in GER
tain forms the germs of the disease are
remarkably resistant to heat, cold aud
drought. They will remain for a long
time in pasture and be capable of in
fecting any animals turned out on it.
Ordinarily the disease $ taken into the
body through the mouth with food. It
may. however, be absorbed through
wound or even an insignificant scratch.
It is in this way that human beings
usually become infected. and the name
'swo0lsorters disease is derived from
the fact that men engaged in sorting
wool are particularly liable to contract
the disease through infection of
scratches or other small wounds or
abrasions on their hands
In burying carcasses useful precau-
ton is To cover them with quicklime.
Where the bodies are burned instead
of buried. great care should be taken TO
see that the operation is thoroughly
done. Even the earth upon which the
carcass has lain should be thoroughly
and deeply burned over 50 that the
heat will penetrate to a depth sufficient
TO kill the germs that may have passed
into the soil with fluids from the body.

Sailed Fish Popular Food.

How to conserve the fish supply is
one of the subjects receiving careful
attention by the British board of trade.
in conjunction with the board of agri-
culture. One of the methods which
will probably be adopted is the drying
or sailing of a much larger proportion
of the daily catch than Mt present, so
as to prevent waste by the fish getting
out of condition. Sailed haddoek are
already being placed ON the market in
considerable quantities as an expert
ment. They sell AT about L cents a
pound retail. and are very palatable.
One method of preparing is to boil the
fish, throw away the water, and boil
up again, but if it is washed TO get rid
of practically all the salt the paddock
should also be soaked in cold water for
"a hours before cooking.

The permanent pasture will be a
very important part of the rotation
plan this year. A pasture will be
needed when the grazing crops are
not ready and when the animals need
green food and exercise. If you
haven't a permanent pasture it will
be advisable to start one at the earliest
possible time. Even rough hillside
may be used for this purpose. For
such locations Bermuda is most ex-
cellent grass. Start Bermuda pas
