During the last four years much
land has come under garden cultiva-
tion, huge aggregate crops of vegeta-
bles have been produced, and many
who before knew nothing Of gardening
have become keenly interested and
fairly successful in 1t. Whether the
same interest will remain is scarcely
open to doubt, II the provision and
retention of allotments is managed in
a practical and sympathetic manner.
Gardening, as a whole, is hard work.
but it is healthful, says London Times.
1t should be possible for the state or
for the local governing bodies to pro-
vide practical and demonstrative in
formation by means Of knowledge.
Professors and botanists are qualified
lecturers and demonstrators who have
proved themselves capable of success
full cultivation and of imparting knowl-
edge. Professors and botanists are
useful in their proper sphere, which
is a large one, but for instruction in
practical food gardening for workers,
whose aim is the supply of large crops
of good quality, first and foremost men
are needed as teachers who are skilled
in actual cultivation.

GERMANY's NEW TURPENTINE.

Before the war Germany import
ed oil of turpentine from southern
France. The fir trees of southern
France contain less fats and more
turpentina than those of Germany.
The latter require greater proper
ton of fatty substances to enable
them to withstand the rigors of the
German winter.
A very easy method has been sue
cessfully tested for the extraction of
oil from fir needles, the resulting
product possessing good technical
qualities and remarkable power of
resistance to cold temperature. Pre-
paratory steps have been taken for
employing the process, and in the
future the national economy of Ger
many will benefit by the extraction
of several hundred thousand kilos of
oil, which according to experts will
compare favorably with the French
product.

Rumor.

The character of that sort of infor-
nation that is generally known as
news Is changing with vertiginous rap
idity. Once news was generally sup
posed to be a narration of something
that had happened or was possibly 60
ing to happen, with, of course, due al
lowances for errors and mistaken
judgments. Now. however, news
seems to be made up of reporting
what somebody alleges might have
happened. Rumor, of itself, has
news value. The fact that a rumor ex-
listed is sufficient of itself, aside from
the truth or falsity of the rumor, its
probability or Its possibility.
A German writer bewails the fact
that Germany is helplessly delivered
to Frances lust for revenge. The
German point of view is utterly in
comprehensive to other minds. 1t
ignores entirely the fact that this
war was forced on France, that it
was q war caused by the lust for con-
quest, and that it was waged on help
less nationalities with a brutality un-
paralleled in history. 1t looks on well
merited punishment as revenge and
acts and talks as though entitled TO
every consideration and leniency, says
Baltimore American. If this is really
the thought of the nation it is hard
to see how II ever can be admitted
on equal terms again to the society
of nations.

farmers In the vicinity Of Dodge City
have felt the need Of home sources OF
dependable seed.
I At the suggestion Of the county
agent. John v. Helper. they recently
met and decided 1t would be Of advan-
tage to unite. An association being
formed will be one Of the few OF the
kind In the southwest country. The
members plan to plant pure seed; to
keep the stock pure; and to advertise
their products, and hope thereby to
command q better market. e
I, The growers, through their associa-
ton, will be able to produce desirable
seed Of standard varieties most accept

as required to keep 1t clean and fresh.
Avoid overcrowding In growing
chicks. A coop. brooder, or colony
house that was large enough to hold
the baby chicks Is not large enough
after two or more months, depending
on the breed and growth. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary that growing chicks
have plenty of room to grow. Cocker
els that are sufficiently large should
be disposed of. Chicks that have not
shown proper growth should also be
separated. and leg or wing banded.
Many of these chicks, even the pull
let's, should be marketed. Only the
good, strong, vigorous specimens
should be retained as breeders and
layers, as these are the only ones
that can return profit.
Won't Eat Too Much.
|. Growing chicks will not eat too
much II they have plenty Of range so
they can get the desired, exercise. A
good growing mash should be acces-
sible at oil times to growing chicks.
Such mash should contain plenty of
bone meal ground very fine and fine
ground oats and barley. Be sure to
have the mash ground very fine.
Growing chicks that are kept close.
ly confined need much grenter atten.
ton along all lines than those that
have range. See that they have plenty
of green feeds that have not wilted
down to almost the decaying point
and that the yards are kept sweet

HAY OF HIGH FEEDING VALUE
Soy Bean When Cut at Right Stage
and Properly Cured Is Reiished
by Farm Animals.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The soy bean when cut at the right
stage of growth and properly cured
makes an excellent hay of high feed
ing value that is greatly relished by all
farm animals. AS compared with hay
from other leguminOus crops, soy-bean
hay is equal or superior to any. The
use Of this hay as source Of protein.
which can be produced on the farm to
balance feeds for growing stock or for
milk, should reduce the quantity Of
high-priced concentrated feeds which
1t is necessary to purchase.
The soy bean may be cut for hay at
any time from the setting Of the seed
until the leaves begin to turn yellow.
The crop Is best fitted for hay, how
ever, when the seeds are well formed,
for at this stage Of growth the largest
yield and the best quality Of hay will
be obtained. If the harvesting Is done
earlier. the percentage Of protein Will
be higher. but the total yield will not
be so large and the difficulty of curing
much greater. If the cutting is delay.

Because their room Is more desirable
than their company, the cockerels In
the flock during the late spring and
early summer are about as popular as
the appearance Of Jack Frost during
peach-budding season. That Is why It
pays the average pOultryman to start
cleanup campaign In his yards which
will result in selling all the surplus
cockerels as soon as they reach mar
ketable size. This disposition OF the
male birds will provide more commodi-
Gus quarters for the pullets which are
to be raised to maturity. Furthermore,
as a general proposition, the earlier
the cockerels are marketed, after they
reach suitable size, the higher are
the prices they will bring. other condi-
lions being equal. while on the other
hand, the longer the cockerels are kept
in the flock the smaller will be the
net profit they Will yield when finally
sold.
It is desirable that each poultryman
retain the choicest. most vigorous and
best-grown cockerels in his flock for
subsequent breeding operations, while
It may also pay him to hold back and
grow to a larger size such birds as he
desires to use for the family table. The
common practice to be recommended
| is to sell the cockerels as soon as they
attain marketable size. In sections
where special and fancy markets are
available, cockerels Of the lighter
breeds, such as the Leghorn. may be
sold as SQUAD broilers when weighing
from three-quarters Of pound to one
pound apiece. On the more general
markets where frying chickens are de
sired and with the larger breeds espe-
cially, the cockerels may be fattened

and one-half pounds apiece before be-
ing sold.

Of large sities-a congestion that has
increased during the past several
years, and that, II IL continues, will
tend to run up the cost Of living.
Those are few of the main reasons
why, from the standpoint Of self-inter-
est, the city automobile owner should
vote for road-bond issues.
Good Roads az Military Measure.
From the standpoint Of duty, the
military element probably takes first
place. When 1t became necessary two
years ago to concentrate great num-
bers Of men In environments, 1t was
found that the roadways connecting
the environments with the surrounding
cities were In no sense adequate. For
the most part new roads had to be
constructed. There is always the pos
sibility of another such emergency,
and the only means Of lnsuring facile
communication Is by the construction
of surfaced roads over which motor
trucks can operate.
While the security Of the nation In
such an emergency might depend upon
good roads for military uses, their serv-
ice to the nation would not be con-
fined to military matters. For great
portion of the time during the past two
years 80 per cent Of the railroad ca
pacity of the country was required for
military purposes. The transportation
OF food, fuel and the like had to be
accomplished largely by means other
than rail. Some hardships were en-
tailed. The motortruck, however, over
such roads as were passable, rendered
excellent service. When the present
road-b!ilding program Is carried oui
and the total Of improved roads Il
several times larger than at present
the service possibilities Of the motor
truck will be correspondingly In
creased and the safety of the natior
and the comfort of the people more
fully insured.
