SETS <AMPLE TO COUNTRY
Boston Guards With Jealous Care the
Burial Places Of Men Great In
American History.

There Is not another town In the
United States, and probably none in
the world, which has cherished the
resting places of its great dead as has
Boston. There are no less than a
dozen cemeteries in and close about
the city which bear on their head
stones the names of famous men and
women, many Of whom died centuries
ago. Most Of these cemeteries are no
longer burying grounds, having been
for long years crowded to the utmost
with white marble memorials to older
generations; but they are preserved
with the utmost care, no matter how
valuable they nay become for other
purposes. Some of them frUaf upon
busy streets, and are surrounded by
high business buildings; but rever-
ence for the great names on the head
stones keeps them intact.
One of the oldest of them all is the
Granary burying ground, so called be-
cause the town granary once stood
near it. In this little plot of ground
lie the remains Of three signers of the
Declaration of Independence John
Hancock, Samuel Adams and Robert
Treat Paine. Nine governors, includ-
ing the famous Governor Hancock, are
buried here. and so is Samuel Sewall,
who sternly condemned so many
witches to death, and wrote such an
interesting diary about 1t. Here, too,
lies John Hull, the colonial mint mas
ter, who gave to his daughter when
she married Sewall her weight in
Pine Tree shillings. Peter Fanueil
and Paul Revere are buried here. too,
and the most conspicuous monument
Of all is the one that Benjamin Frank
lin erected to his parents. Here is an
acre Of soil sown with the bones Of
men that made American history. No
wonder Boston cherishes 1t well.

OATS SUPERIOR FOR HORSES
Most Satisfactory Single Grain Ra-
tion-Musty Oats Are Dangerous
FEED R6aahaoe.

In comparison with any of the grain
rations, oats are the best single grain
ration for both mature horses and
colts and for mules. There is no other
grain SO safe to feed and from which
such satisfactory results are OBJ
tained. The live stock experts of
Clemson college advise, however, that
it is absolutely necessary that oats be
clean and entirely free from mold in
order to obtain best results in feed
ing to colts. "Musty" oats are dam
gerous to colts.
A fair allowance OF oats for colts
after weaving is as follows.
Up to one year of age, from 2 to 3
pounds daily.
From one to three years, Z to s
pounds daily.
The best way to feed oats is in the
whole grain, the expense Of crushing
not being justified unless colts suffer
In teething, in which case 1t is advis-
able to feed steamed crushel oats,
which are very nourishlng and appe-
tizing. 1t is always wise to feed
plenty Of rOughage to growing colts.
Feeding concentrated feeds in excess
is discouraged, as it is important
that the digestive tract be developed
by distending 1t during the growing
period. Ungainly. large-barreled colts
may annoy the feeder. but this con-
ditiOn always disappears with ma
turity.
Proper feeding sf colts should al
ways be accompanied by plenty of
outdoor exercise for the young ami
NAL. In no way can a colt be ruined
so easily and surely as by liberal feed
ing with lack Of exercise. Close con-
finement and the raising Of good colts
do not go together.

In 1746 George Washington was of.

Nasturtiums.

Nasturtiums can be grown during the
winter in any warm room that has q
sunny window. Strong sunshine is alb
solutely necessary, windows that have
only a little sunshine, morning or aft
ernoon, will not give good results.
The Pennsylvania department of ag-
riculture recommends the filling Of a
pot six inches In diameter nearly full
Of soil; after it is pressed down there
must be a space about three-quarters
Of an inch between the top of the soil
and the top Of the pot. This is to en-
able one to thoroughly water the soil.
In the center place three or four
seeds Of II climbing nasturtium, putting
about half an inch below the surface
Of the soil. Then place the pot in the
sunny window and provide a trellis of
strings.
The important thing to remember is
that while the seeds are terminating
and the plant young. great care must
be taken not to provide too much wa
ter and so sour the soil.

AIDS BOYS and GIRLS
Uncle Sam Develops Initiative
Through Juvenile Clubs.
Experts Of States Relations Service Of
Department of Agriculture
Tell of Results.

How the initiative of boys and girls
in all sections Of the country is be-
ing developed through the juvenile ag-
ricultural club work fOstered by Uncle
Sam through the department of agri-
culture. in cooperation with the state
agricultural colleges, and how interest
In this work Is spreading among adults
as well as children, is told by experts
of the states relations service of the
department.
For example, three schoOlboys in the
state of Washington who were given
the use of an acre of land for five years
in return for clearing it not only made
a profit from potato crop the first
year, but with the logs from the clear
ing built a substantial clubhouse ON
the school grounds and furnished it.
Again, four girls in another portion
of the same state, having only rocky
land available on which to grow their
gardens, removed four wagonlOads of
stones and now have thriving plots.
The experts have received reports
from both West Virginia and Idaho of
the development of business ability in
young boys. In West Virginia small
boy began operations with one hen.
With the proceeds from the sale of
chickens raised he bought pig. After
fattening the pig he sold it and bought
u calf, which he raised to a COW. With
the proceeds from the sale of the cow
the boy has taken up the regular busi-
ness of cattle raising on a small scale
Further, in Idaho young club men,
Der, through raising few pigs and
calves, obtained enough capital to en-
gage in the regular business of buying
and selling hides.
In the northwest girl club members
have shown their business ability by
taking orders from nearby lumber
camps to furnish canned goods from
their homecoming club supply.
The civic value of the club work has
recently been recognized by the mayor
of a certain western city, who gave
free water for irrigating garden plots
on vacant city lots.

PUT N0VELTYBEF0RE BEAUTY
Accusation That Has Been Made, With
Some Reason, Against the Mod.
ern Woman of Fashion.

An African girl who wears an iron
bracelet will, according to one trav-
eler, refuse gold one except as curl
osity to be hidden. The more barbarous
the people the greater the tenacity
with which the average among them
adhere to the thing that is "dOne," so
that civilization hasn't invented codes
Of dress. In fact, dress forms have q
more strict language and meaning in
the South Sea islands than they have
In Chicago or Boston drawing room.
Dress bigotry is greatest where fash
ions change the least-perhaps be-
cause change has not come to unsettle
prejudice and keep the Imagination
free. Quite the opposite effect appears
among fashionable women. Too often
they lose their loyalty to a beautiful
effect just as soon as 1t has fully hap
pened. They are accused. In fact, of
preferring novelty to beauty. even the
beauty that harmonizes with their
own personality.

ARY TALL n1
PLEASANT JUNco FAMILY.
~ MARY GRAHAM BONNER

81 want to tell you this evening,
said Daddy, ''Of a little bird who comes
to us in the fall and stays until the
spring has come"
"Where is he In the summer?" asked
Nancy. d..
81 should think that would be the
time he would like best. Or does he
care more for the cold weather. asked
Nick.
"First to answer Nancy's question" "
said Daddy. in the summer he goes
far into the northern woods where he
moults. He does not care for the very
wintry weather, and avoids wide fields
where the wind can blow as hard as
it likes with nothing to stop or hinder
1t.
"Ai his name"
"Oh yes" shouted the Children. "We
haven't heard his name yet"
"His name that he is known by best
of all is JuncO. And he is also known
as the Snowbird and Slate-Colored
SnOwbird. He wears dark feathers on
his head while the upper parts of his
body are Slate-cOlored. He wears a
gray vest while underneath he is white.
And in his tail he has beautiful white
feathers that can easily be seen when
he flies.
"He is quite friendly in the autumn
and winter time with the SparrOws and
Chickadees, and often goes crumb-
hunting with them.
"The JuncO birds have quite lovely
voices. They warble and trill and sing
very sweetly. but above all they have
happy. jolly dispositions.
"One day Mr.. Junco. his wife, and
several of their Children were sitting
on a fence, when Mr.. Sparrow came
along.
"'GOod-day, COUSIN said the Spar
row. For the JuncOs and Sparrows are
cousins. Would you like to come and
look for crumbs with us? We think
there should be some at that house

throwing something out of the window.

"'Thank you so much said Mr..
JuncO sweetly. we would love to come
with you. And what nice day this
is? Crisp and cold but not too bitterly
cold Mr.. JuncO talked and chirped
In this pleasant manner as he flew
along, and Mrs. Junco talked to Mrs.

PRINTING COST LARGE
Uncle Sam pends About S..
100000 a4ear for Work.
congressman VIII Be Called Upon to
Pay More for Distribution Of
Their Speeches.

| Uncle Sans government is spending
considerable money each year, perhaps
even more than most people think,
for printing. The latest available fig
ures from the government printing Of
flee show that during the past year
just about $6,500,OOO was expended for
public printing and binding and for
the maintenance Of the government
print shop. In addition to this, no
doubt, there were some other printing
and binding bills.
1t is interesting to note that the
total disbursements and outstanding
obligations chargeable against the 1916
appropriations were $6,530,054.12. 1t
is interesting to know also in this con-
nectiOn that, according to officials of
the office, although the overhead ex-
penses increased in 1916 over 1915,
| S74,351.33, this included an increase of
$S3,329.1 in production machinery
and equipment drawn from stores of
various divisions, and a slight increase
In leave and holiday pay, and there
fore the expenses of non-productive
divisions actually decreased about $11,-
900.
The cost of private orders placed
by members of congress and others
during the year amounted to $S1 ,SS5.3S.
The collections for such work are
turned into the treasury as q credit to
miscellaneous receipts, as required by
law. The cost for these orders repre-
| sented an expenditure out of the regu-
lar appropriation for printing and
binding which was not chargeable to
any allotment, and for which no reim-
bursement Is made to the government
printing Office.
Officials of the office who are in
touch with the routine of the printery
say that the daily average number of
employees ON the roll decreased in
1916 under 1915, 66, and the daily aver
| age number of employees actually
working decreased 43. The total cost
of operation, in spite of the war prices,
increased less than l per cent, and
charges for computed product de-
creased less than per cent, exceeding
the cost Of operation by per cent,
as compared with 5 per cent in 1915.
The records show that for the third
consecutive year every productive d.
vision of the government printing Of
| flee operated without loss.
The scale of prices applied to work
produced during the year carried an
actual reduction Of 2h per cent over
the one in effect in 1915. 1t is thought
probable, owing to the cost of mate
rails and supplies entering into print
ing and binding having advanced so
greatly, that at a later date an in
crease will have to be made, as In
everything else, for some classes Of
work.
Members OF congress who were
