odd moments, without in any way interfering with
his usual pursuits.
For the business or professional man, who
tolls all day in office, bank, factory or shop, the
change to the light physical labor in the open
air and sunshine, gives just the needed change
necessary for health of both body and mind. Such
employment will be found restful and soothing
to the overtaxed and wearied mind and nerves.
For city lot soil that is hard, impoverished or
rocky, Mr.. Albaugh has invented a new system
of gardening. From it he has achieved such sur
prlsingly favorable results as to augur a great
future for the new sandwich method of city
lot cultivation. The Sandwich garden is, in a
sense, an artificial creation. 1t may be construct
ed on brick or cement pavement, or even the tarred
or tile surfaces of the roofs of buildings. By
this method of growing vegetables, the products
of the garden are always earlier, and at the same
time of better quality than can possibly be pro-
duced in any other way.
In making a sandwich bed" Mr.. Albaugh first
places a layer of straw or stable litter or leaves,
about five inches thick, upon the surface selected
and then tramps or packs 1t rather smooth and
firm. Over this he spreads about one inch deep
of rich, fine stable manure. Another layer
of stable manure. about two inches thick
goes over this, after which q hose is turned on
and the mass given a thorough soaking, cane
being exercised to stop before teaching begins.
The next step is to spread evenly over the
bed at least four inches of street s~crapings, avoid
ing, however, streets that have oil or asphalt in
their makeup. Ii street ScrapingS cannot De
readily obtained, a composition of equal parts of
fine river sand, rich garden soil and old, fine
stable manure may be used instead. This should
be thoroughly mixed by shoveling over in a heap,
and then, after it is in place, tramped until it is
firm. The bed is then ready to plant.
In some instances the real sandwich bed' is
not possible or practicable. If this be the case,
and the soil is yet reasonably fertile, and in good
condition, excellent results may be obtained by
the following method:
Procure one load Of rich stable manure for each
square rod of ground Ga square rod Is 16 by 10
feet) and dump it near where the beds are to be
made. Then with a spading fork, beginning at
one end of the bed, spade a furrow across the
bed. fill the furrow nearly full of manure, and
tramp 1t down firmly. Now spade another fur
row, throwing the dirt from this over the ramped-
down manure in the first furrow. Fill the second
furrow with manure and tramp it down as before,
and throw over this the dirt from the third line
of spading, and so on until the entire bed is
spaded.
Finest vegetables, says Mr.. Albaugh, can be
grown on hard, stony, or alkaline soils, where Or

friends of the birds. The cat is a crafty bird
catcher by nature. Cats have been seen lying In
wait for the winged victims which are attracted to
the feast so beautifully spread. They have even
been accused of decoying birds within the reach of
their paws by Initiating the note of the feathered
s~ongsters. They climb the trees by night and day
in quest of eggs and 1edglings.
John Burroughs declares that cats kill more
birds than do any other animals on this continent.
1t is also charged that the cat kills squirrels
and hares and rabbits, moles and shrews and fish
and useful insects, while as a ratter he is greatly
over-rated.
Rat traps, when well handled, are credited with
surprising the cat in efficiency. The other day
there was put on exhibition an illustration of the
efficiency Of the cat. The cabin of a steamship was
fumigated with the result of a mortality of one cat
and "a rats, which the cat was supposed to keep
away. When the cat is right on the premises the
mice play just as much as when he is away, say
the enemies Of the cat, only they keep out of sight.
Few persons In a normal lifetime, insists DIR.
A. X. Fisher, who is in charge of economic investi-
cations for the bureau Of biological survey of the
United States department of agriculture, run
across more than half a dozen cats that habitually
attack rats"
When the cat is permitted to run wild the ex-
perts decline to give him the slightest excuse for
living.
The known facts are that the domestic cat straw
ing into the fields and woods, whether a net. a
v~agabond or a wild dweller In the open, is a n menace
to wild life and a detriment to the general welfare.
AS a further argument against the cat the charge
Is made against him that he disseminates disease
by becoming the playmate of sick children and that
he carries microbes in his fur, lodkjaw in the
scratch of his claw, and rabies In the bite of his
teeth.-New York Sun.

MIGHT OFFEND HIS "FoLKS"
Militia ColoneIs Reason for Ordering
Release of Prisoner Amazes Off
GER of Regulars.

1t is generally believed that the old
differences between the regulars and
the National Guard have been wiped
out long ago, and that the hot and
dusty summer weeks in maneuver
camps have made the National Guards
man the equal of the regular army
There may be a lot of truth in
this assumption, too, but there is one
lieutenant in the regular army who
will never believe that the militia will
amount to a row of beans until Off
cered by regulars, says a writer on mil
itary affairs.
This is partly accounted for by his
experience on the Mexican border a
few months ago. There had been con-
siderable rOwdyism OF the part of en-
listed men begging and stealing rides
to and from town on the running
boards of automobiles, and orders had
gone forth to stop the nuisance. Con-
~sequently, when one large and pugna-
ciOus militiaman was arrested by the
guard for diSObeying the order, this
lieutenant of whom l write ordered the
lhSA1NApNa III lllllAulNh ~ AAiN ShoAN
tent. The lieutenant happened to be
officer of the day and in charge of the
situation. The militiaman showed
fight, so the lieutenant told the guard
to sit on the mans neck, if necessary.
1t was just a detail in the days
work. But later on there came march
ing over TO the lieutenant a full fledged
colonel commanding the pugnacious
militiaman's regiment.
81 understand" he said, 'that you
have Jim Dumps arrested here for hop
ping on an automobile running board"
Eyes, sir" replied the lieutenant.
swell, now" the colonel explained,
you just let him go. His folks and
mine are pretty thick, and his being
arrested might make it kinder hard
for me at home"
And the utterly amazed lieutenant
had to obey the orders of a colonel.

binary cultivation would be utterly fruitless. For
best results plants need a~eration at the roots. If
air cannot penetrate to the roots the plant Ian
guishes and dies from suffOcation. When the sur
face of the ground is covered with water, the
plant suffers in the same way and for the same
reason. The sandwich BEDS can neither be
drowned nor smothered The air circulates
through the several layers of material, and if too
much water is applied, 1t readily passes through
the fbrOus beds and does no harm. Other adj
vantages of these beds are that the fertility is
placed just where it can be easily absorbed and
assimilated up earlier than does the natural soil,
and the decaying mass of fbrous material retains
moisture to sCch an extent that only a nominal
quantity of hydrant water is required.
A steel garden rake, spading fork, small garden
trowel, a long handled shovel, a manure fork,
and a small hand sprayer are about all the tools
that need be purchased. Mr.. Albaugh uses a
small hand sprayer which is cheap and very
satisfactory. 1t has a quart Mason glass jar
for n reservoir, and has the advantage of blow
ing the spray at right angles from the barrel of
the machine. With it the under side of the leaves
can be effectually reached, and this is often eS-
sential to success. The barrel should be of brass,
as many spraying compounds are corrosive on
iron. With this little machine, and a supply of
bordeaux mixture, h~ellebOre, tobacco extract or
tea, paris green, aphine, etc. the careful gardener
Is well fortified against attacks of insects and
fungi.
The provisioning of the country will he much
aided by the educational work among boys and
girls of the United States which has been carried
on through the cooperation of the department of
agriculture and the rural school garden clubs of
the various states. The younger generation has
been stimulated in the raising of vegetables and
fruits on waste land and in the backyards in
the cities and towns.
An example Of what can be accomplished by
the pupils of rural schools was s~trikingly demon
strated last year by the Cook County, Illinois,
Garden club which had a membership of 1887.
The club cultivated over 260 acres of land, upon
which grew nearly $4,000 worth of vegetables.
After deducting expenses the club members had q
net profit of $41,629.2S. If these 2,3S7 boys and
girls had not grown these gardens, probably 70
per cent of them would have been idle-doing
Notwithstanding away time and energy. The
gardens gave helpful exercise, stimulated interest,
and encouraged thrift and ownership.
The economic side of the problem is aston
lshing, but greater still, and Of far more i'm
p%ortance, is the wholesome, moral influence
brought to bear upon the lives of these young
people who are receiving most excellent training
in doing worthwhile things.

SUFFERING CATS!
Enemies of Tom and Maria Accuse
Them Of Many Serious Crimes.

Suppress the cat! ~ was a recent demand made
on the Legislature of New York state according to a
bill for licensing felines. Connecticut and other
commonwealth also are crusading against outlaw
Grimalkin.
Millions Of cats are leading lives of vagabondage.
They roam the wilds, seeking what they may de-
YOUR. Birds are slain by them in large numbers.
They do harm in other ways.
The cat has an ancient history. Tradition has it
that the creature appeared in Egypt about 1900 B.
c., and being highly regarded there as a fireside
and made himself very much at home. Mummy
cats are found in the pyramids.
The first cat is believed to have been of African
origin. Travellers from Greece seeing the cats so
comfortably ensconced in Egypt saw to it that some
of them were brought to Athens, and from the an
cient seat of culture the cat is supposed to have
spread over Europe. The animal in Europe was
adopted by man as a pet about the ninth century.
There Is something so inherently wild about the
cat that even when he reposes on silk cushions and
has his fur combed with celluloid and has cream
every day he has within him the old spark Of
savagery.
The cat is of the race of the saber-toothed tiger
and Is credited with an insatiably bloodthlrsty' dis
position. He torments his prey. He has no abid-
ing affection for those whose hands have fed him.
Chateaubriand said to his friend, M. de Marcellus,
that there Is In the cat an ungrateful spirit which
prevents him from being attached to anyone.

against the 'villainous, false cat comes from the

easily reached by either automobile or
train. 1t is the largest of the central
New Mexican Indian villages, the cen
ter of a rich agricultural country. The
people are progressive, successful
farmers, but have mingled freely with
their Mexican neighbors to the detri-
ment of the picturesqueness of their
village. Isleta was one of the most i'm
portant of the early missions. In 1929
there was already built at Isleta a
handsome church and convent, minis
tered to by a resident priest.
When the country was reconquered
by the Spanish after the rebellion, it
was found that all which could be
burned of the old church had been de-
strOyed and the massive walls used for
a corral for goats. The church was re-
built in 1893 and since that time has
been in constant use. 1t is 81 by no
feet in size and is adjoined by extern
sive buildings originally a convent, now
used as a home for the priest. any
quaint customs and legends center
around this mission.
City of the Sky.
Acoma, the famous "City of the
Sky" the most wonderful town in the
United States, is built upon the top of
a wind-swept island of rock, rising pre-
cipitously $50 feet above the surround
ing sandy plain. Its location gave it
wonderful defense against the savage
tribes that in pre-Spanish times preyed
upon the peaceful village Indians. IN
til very recently its top was reached
only by n trail so steep that at places
it consisted merely Of hand and foot
holes in the face of the cliff, where a
misstep or a stone rolled from above
would hurl a foe to almost certain de-
structiOn.
Here the inhabitants made a stout
resistance to the Spanish, but were
conquered, and the great church, i:
many ways the most wonderful build
ing in America, was built in 1929. Ii
was partially destroyed in 1850, and
rebuilt in 1903. The church is of great
proportion, $50 feet long, 40 feet high
and very massive. Not only was every
particle of adobe used for the walls
carried up the ladder-like trail, for
there is absolutely no soil on the rock
of AcOma, but the great timbers for the
roof beams were brought from the 20
mile-distant mountains by men alone,
for the horse had not been introduced
to New Mexico at that time. Nor is
this all, for adjoining the church is a
considerable convent, and in front of
the church the burying ground, held by
a retaining wall along the cliffs rim
at places As feet high, all made ground,
carried up that hazardous trail on the
backs of men. Was ever such a monu-
ment raised to the zeal of the converts
to a new faith?
