NEW DECALOCUE.

and dreaming war, the national anc

months are not possibly being so vel

ing more about the Hindenburg line
than the line of demarkation between
sanitary and insanitary conditions.
With this idea in view, the Michi-
gan Board of Health has issued. as "a
special bulletin. the following new
decalogue to be adopted and follow
ed in every household of the state:
|. Honor thy city and keep its sani-
tary laws.
ii. Remember thy cleaning dav.
and keep it wholly.
III. Thou shalt love thy children.
and provide for them decent homes
and Fairgrounds.
~. Thou shalt keep fresh air il
thy house day and night.
V. Thou shalt not keep in disorder
thy alley, thy backyards. thy hall and
stairways.
vi. Thou shalt not kill thine own
o thy neighbours body with poison
Gus air and disease-breeding filth.
VII. Thou shalt not let the filthy
fly live.
VIII. Thou shalt not steal thy chill
drens' happiness from them by neg
lecting their health.
TX. Thou shalt not bear filthy. de-
cayed teeth in thy mouth nor tolerate
them in the mouths of those about
thee.
y. Thou shalt not spit on the side
walks. nor on the floor, nor in the
street car. nor in any public place
whatsoever.
The preachment is so full of com
mon sense that it should not be con-
fined to the state lines of Michigan.
but should be countryside wide in its
application. We do not know what

ing. & Last two weeks keep moist to
promote sprouting.
1t requires about thirty days of
this treatment to cure potatoes for
planting. In many towns are small
cold storage plants, and fresh dug po-
tatoes may be put in cold storage
thirty days to cure them for planting.
PREPARING THE GROUND: Be-
gin to prepare the ground in June.
Disk or cultivate the land until the
top three inches are fine. Plow deep
and harrow at once. Work the
ground every week until planting
time. There should not be even
small clods and the soil should be in
good condition of moisture. or it is a
waste to plant.
PLANTING; Plant on a cloudy
day so that neither the furrow or the
seed will become dry. Thoroughly
disk or cultivate the land before
planting it. Make each row by open
ing a furrow six inches deep. Drop
the seed in moist soil and cover i'm
mediately to a depth of three inches.
Make the rows three feet apart and
drop sed 6 to 10 inches apart in the
row
Where fertilizer is needed apply
400 pounds per acre of a mixture Of
one-third acid phosphate, two-thirds
cotton seed meal. In the latitude of
Memphis and Little Rock planting
may be made the middle of July and
in central Mississippi, the middle of
August.
CULTIVATION: Cultivate once a
week from the time the potatoes are
planted, gradually filling the furrow.
in which the seed was dropped. Leave
the field level at the last cultivation.

SECOND CROP IRISH POTATOES.

There should be an acre of Irish
potatoes planted in July or August
on every small farm in Tennessee,
Mississippi and Arkansas. Large
farms should plant one acre in Irish
potatoes for each 80 acres in cultiva-
ton. The crop will be needed at
home to- take the place of -four and
meal. Good seed and a moist fine
soil at planting time are essential to
the production of profitable yields.
SEED: There is little seed in cold
storage. Most Of the planting will
have to be from seed saved from the
spring planted crop. Small potatoes
planted whole take "a bushels an
C. When seed is cut IL to IA
bushels will plant an acre. Most
growers will get enough higher yields
from whole seed to make it advisable
to use it. . r.
SAVING. SEED FROM FIRST
CROP: Dig the first crop when the
vines become golden and before they
begin to die. Dig late in the day or
on a cloudy day. Pick up the pota-
toes as fast as dug so that direct sun
light will not strike them. Select po-
tatoes the size of a hens egg or small
Ter for seed. Put the seed potatoes
the first night where they will become
well cooled. The next morning
spread them out in a layer six inches
deep on a cool, dry surface, where
they will not be exposed to direct
sunlight and where the ventilation
is good. If they can be stored where
a breeze will blow over them it will
help. A well ventilated cellar, a dry
place under a house, a we'll ventilated

The Mother of a Soldier.

He stood before me-oh, so big and strongl
| scarcely could believe he was my child
My little boy who had grown up
Who always seemed so care-free, young and wild
But his grim khaki and its solemn thoughts
Had brought a world-old to his eyes
As tenderly he whispered, Dear, be brave
The mother of soldier never cries!"
And all alone in ceaseless agony
| try to hope and work, to wait and pray.
But OH how hard it is to sit at home
With all my fears and hopes so far away!
Then comes letter-what wondrous JOY!
And tremblingy read, with tear-d -dimmed eyes,
"Just keep on smiling, honey Don't forget
The mother OF colder never cries."
He's dead-just numb l sit and try to think
All can realize is big dull pain.
The worlds empty, robbed of all lifes JOY.
How can ! go on living, just the same,
And keep up courage, when my heart is lead
With nothing left to live for, to prize?
But harkl His dear voice Whispers Don't give up
The mother of soldier criesT
No, will not give upl For there's thought
That gives me strength to live my empty life
A man must die some day. The noblest death
Is surely in the glorious heat of strife
Where man. by courage and true sacrifice,
Can prove TO God his manhood as he dies
And so my heart is glad and see why
The mother of a soldier never cresi

Oh say can you see, by the dawns early light.
What so proudly haild at the twights last gleam-
ing
Whose broad stripes and bright thru the perilous
fight
Ger the ramparts we watched, gallantly
streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thru the night that flag still there
Oh! say does the Star Spangled Banner still wave
Ger the land of the free and the home OF the brave
On the shore dimy through the msts of the Deep
Where the foes naughty host in dread silence reposeS,
What is that which the breeze the towering steep
As it ftfuly blows half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the mornings first beam
In full glory reflected, shines the stream
'Tis the Star Spangled Banner, OH long may it wave
Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave
Oh thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their lovd homes md the wars desoation,
Blest with vctry and peace, may the heavR rescued
land
Praise the Powr that hath made and preserves us a
nationl
Then conquer we must, when cause it is just
And this be our motto IN God is our trust!'
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
Der the land of the free and the home of the brave
