Impressions of Camp Life.

Felix Debarros who is in the 18th Co.,, Sth Battalion, depot Brigade. at Camp Devens, has written the follow ing letter to Mayor Allyn L. Brown, giving some of his impressions of camp life:
 Dear MT. Brown: I am taking it up- cn myself to write you a few lines to let you know something about camr life. Of course. you may already have more perfect ideas than I have my young friends in my town know that camp life is not so bad after all. These are some of the principal req sons First, we learn that we are here for our own welfare as well as our friends behind; second, we learn to obey immediately and to act prompt ly: third, we learn the lives of many classes of people whom we have for our comrades: fourth. we are inspired with 8 love for our country which no man but soldier can inherit
 These things have been all stamped thoroughly upon my mind. Any man who thinks he is not treated squarely in the army is not of a very sound mind. We'll MT, Brown, if it would not be too much of an imposition up- on you I would like to hear a few lines from one in an honored posi- ton such as yours. And nothing would cheer me any more than to hear from Your Honor.
 Yours truly.

day and Sunday so don't feel like go- ing out this week Next Saturday is pay day. I have sixty two dollars due me for this month and if I can I am going to send a hundred and fifty home next week. When I was working in civilian life there was never a month that I could show sixty dollars clear money and besides I am paying for insurance. You can't beat the ser vice. We have plenty to eat, you are not overworked, good pay and a fine chance for advancement. Machinist mate (first) pays $66.50 and chief ma chinist's mate nearly s1oo, besides board and clothes cost practically nothing and think of the country we are seeing. If only I could write of few things which we have seen. but of course we can't write much with out getting the censor's goat. I eX- pect just as soon as our camp is com pleted and the planes begin to come in we will be in the air. I am going around my waist and 20 up hanging on the rear. I have signed up to fly, and by George I am going to, I am certainly coming home. but I am go- ing to or at least I'm going to try to get crack at the Huns first. It must be great where there is so much excitement. I guess all the boys like it when they once get into it. Of course where I am. I am getting lots of experience which may do me some good when I come back to the States, but I am sorry lots of times I didn t get into the army where I could see the trenches but when our planes come we no doubt will see trenches. A large Yietrola arrived yesterday for the Y. M. C. A, that is going up on this station. It is hard to realize that we are so far away from home with all the American candies. cook ies, tobacco and cake on sale at the Y. NJ. C. A. I don't know what we would do over here if it wasn't for the '. NJ. c. A.
 The uniform Of the day now is white suits instead of blue. I must get a couple of suits tomorrow and a cou- pie pairs of white shoes. I am going to have my picture taken if I can think of it while I am over town.
 Hope this will get to you all right and hope to get back there myself some time Please do not worry over me es I am well and happy, only wish you would all send me your picture end if you can please send me a bunch of Bulletins.

Best Gardener Most Inauisitive.

SSss NaToeHSr MoSt InqufsitIve. Garden practice. in every instance,
 is based soundly on reason, and a
 common sense answer may be found
 10 every one of the seemingly arbi-
 trary or rule f-thumb methods of
 procedure. The best gardener is he who is most inquisitive and looks for the reason behind the action, and de- cides for himself whether or not it applies to his own conditions. For ex- ample, drawing earth up around all and every plant because it is a good
 practice in some cases is a quite com mon biunder, and though frequently | of no consequence. often does real harm.
 The terms 'thill" and "hilling'' as ap- piled in the garden are likely to be misleading to the beginner who nat
 urally assumes that they refer to raised mounds, whereas, in fact, al- | most without exception the seeds are sewn in level drills and the 'hilling'' is done after the plants have made considerable growth. A few of our | crops are liable to stem rot and an excess of moisture around the stem | of the plant aggravates this trouble. Therefore, muskmelons, cucumbers, pumpkins, squash, and lima beans
 may be sown in raised "hills" not | more than two inches above the sur | rounding grade; but all other vegeta- | hles that are hilled have the soil drawn up around them after they have attained a fair size. The advantage l of milling" drawing up earth around the stem of the plant, is to protect
 weak stemmed plants against blow ing over during heavy rain storms tstring beans, corn). In some cases l plants send out new roofing system | hn of , stem (corn and tomatoes).
 Potatoes are hilled when they are 1 in flower as at this time the tubers
 are forming and this extra earth acts
 as mulch conserving the moisture and protecting the young tubers. As- paragus is sometimes hilled when the crown (which gradually raisesl gets too near the surface. In large plant ings this is accomplished by turning Ia furroW on the row with a blow; in
 small gardens a hoe can be used. | String beans. are hilled to protect 1 them from storms when the plants
 have started to branch out freely. Cabbage and cauliAoWer that are spindly from overcroWding in the 1 seeding bed or excess of shade may
 be hilled slightly after they are thor
 oughly established, in order to get
 an approach to normal. Celery is of ten hilled as it grows to keep the
 shoots from spreading which would
 expose the heart and toughen it. But
 some gardeners keep the plants tied
 together with raffia and the milling is
 done at one time in the fall. which is l preferable. Corn is hilled when about 12 inches high to prevent bFeakage by
 storm, Leel1 is hilled as it grows. to lengthen the stem which is the edible portion of the plant. Peas are hilled
 when about inches high to protect
 them until brush or other support can be applied.
