WIN WAR GARDEN
MEDALS in A
CHICAGO SCHOOL
Misses Elizabeth aid Marg-
aret SheffieyrA Two
Out of 5Oos&pils.

The Chicago Tribune gives very
interesting account of the five hun
bred Garden Medals which the Tri-
bune offered in the early spring to the
children's best war gardens in the
Chicago public schools. 1t is also
interesting to note that two of the
children's mother was a former Glow
export girl, who is now Mrs. Eliza
beth Lamb Sheffield and her two
daughters, Miss Margaret and Miss
Elizabeth who came under the nine
year old turns, cultivated garden
plot which was one of fifty in the
community garden of the Shakespeare
school. Their plot was the same
size as the other children's, 15x3O feet
This is the second year of cultivation.
They grew eight varieties OF veg
etables and to this time the value of
the produce has amounted to $3.50.
The fact that no weeds were allow
ed to grow and the plants well cul-
tivated helped much toward the win
ming of the medals. The bronze
medals are appropriately designed
with hoe, rake and watering can on
one edge and the flag on the opposite
edge; between is garden with the
sun shining on it, 1t bears the
words: Prize War Gardner-Chica-
,~ Tr;L,aa tatSv
The Tribune states that five thous-
and children engaged in the war gard
ening and their work was so excell-
ent that it made it difficult for the
Superintendent to choose thechildren
to be awarded the 500 medals. 1t is
estimated that the value of produc-
ton in the war gardens amounted
to $3,5OO,OOO to say nothing of, the
value added in training the children
to be thriftier, to have more of a
community spirit and impelling a
civic pride as well as national
pride.

Bullet Made
Can Kill Me-"

Serg. Lewis Moorman Willis who
was reported in last weeks issue of
The Breckenridge News as having
been wounded July 49, has been
heard from since this message was
received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
X. O. Willis.
Sergt. Willis wrote Aug. 20, to
his mother from a Base Hospital in
France. The letter was written in
his own hand writing and he began
by saying that he had been wounded
by machine gun bullet. He fur
Their stated that he was having the
best OF attention in the hospital and
said, Mother if you ever have any
thing to give, don't Withhold it from
the Red Cross nor the Y NJ. c. A.,
for they are doing the most wound
erful work in the world"
Sergt. Willis boosted on having
several Boches to his credit, and add
ed, There never was nor will be a
German bullet made that can kill me.
| am anXiously waiting for the time
when | can get back on the firing
line. If the home folks in Clover
port could only see the American
boys getting after the Huns and
watch them run like Jack rabbits
they would die laughing" Sergt.
Willis is remembered by his home
people as being very humorous, so
evidently German bullet wound has
put his humoristic vein out OF COM
mission. His numerous friends in
Cloverport and throughout the county
will be pleased to hear that Sergt.
Willis is faring so well.

In cooperation with the extension
department Of Purdue university the
United States department Of agrlcul-
turc last year made mn investigation
of the cost Of producing milk in ~
dairy herds in Porter county, Ind. In
that study it was found that when
other conditions were the same the
dairymen who fed the largest quantity
Of clover. alfalfa, and other legume
hays used So per cent less grain with
out lesscning the production OF their
cows. That IS. the dairyinen who fed
leeume hay obtained as much milk
from 60 pounds Of grain as the Others
obtained from 100 pounds Of grain.
Such Il saving is certainly worth
while. Patriotism demands increased
production: the high cost OF living de
mands economical production; botf
those demands are met when all oul
good cows are kept. and when theil
milk flow IL maintained Mt low cost.

automatic system Of ventilating sheep
buildings, though some Of the wind
battles" which have been devised for
poultry houses might be adapted.
Well Drained Floors.
Level and well.drained clay-surfaced
floors are satisfactory and economical.
Sheep pack the surface very firmly,
and if there Is proper drainage the
only objection to this floor is that it
does not exclude rats. Concrete floors
for alleys and feed rooms are neces-
sary, but will seldom be called for in
the pens.
Arrangement Of Building.
The main features to be provids d In
the floor plan are minimum Of waste
space, convenience and ease in feeding
and in cleaning the pens. and el!nlna-
| ton of the need of moving or disturb
ing the sheep. Pen partitions should
p, be movable. BY using feed racks tn
make divisions in the pen space the
size Of the pens can be varied as
needed, and In special cases the racks
can be removed TO permit the use OF
the space for other stock.
Locating Sheep Buildings.
The sitG for permanent buildings for
, sheep should first Of all he dry and
well drained. Ample yard space that
is dry and sheltered should be avail
able adjacent to the main barn or shed
A southern slope with sandy soil Is
especially satisfactory for this purpose
On most farms it win be advantage
Gus to have the buildings and yard
