Flower Gardens Of Holland

It was only after the fall Of Con-
stantinople in 1853 that Holland be
came such a gay land of flowers as it
now is. Many Dutchmen went to the
East during the years Of the greet
cruSades, and those Of them who loved
beautiful things brought seeds with
them. When these were planted in
the rich soil of Holland such woAirou;
flowers appeared as had never before
been seen in that country. The people
became wildly enthusiastic over the
new colors and scents and foliage
brought to them from the East, and
in Holland there sprang up Il great
love for gardening.

Helium Gas Cheapened

Up to 1915 the total output of
helium gas in all the world had prob
ably been less than 100 cubic feet, and
1t was worth about ZOO a cubic foot
But just before the armistice was
signed shipment of 10000 cubic
feet of helium gas was sent to Europe
and it costs less than 10 cents a cubic
foot
Helium gas was first discovered on
the sun, by spectroscopy. 1t is the
BEST gas for use in balloons, because
IT is not inflammable. 1t is now ex-
tracted from the natural gas of Texas
and Kansas.
The method Is delicate and COM
pick, bit is based upon the fact that
the principal constituents of natural
gas liquefy when cooled to about minus
329 degrees F., but that helium re-
mains gas at that temperature, and
hence is easily separated.

"Old King Cole"

The first reference to "Old King
Cole" the merry old soul" of the ia,
nous nursery rhyme was made in
book written by DR.. William King. who
was born in 1888. 1t is probable that
the song was composed in the seven
teenth century, although some investi-
gators think 1t much older. Halliwell
'd' Ntiiies the merry monarch with
FGle or Coel, a senl-mythical king of
Hrifain who is supposed to have
relgned in the third century. The Scots
ais" have an "Old King Coul." said
to have lived In the fifth century.

King Cole ruled Britain in the sixth
century. There are many who assert
mat the reference to the pipe indicates
That Old King Cole lived at period
after Raleigh had introduced tobacco
INTO Europe, but this does not neces-
safliy follow. as a pipe might mean a

Feed More Legumes.

At the present price of grain, an sbun-
dsDt supply of legume hay is valuable
basis for live stock ration and an asset
we'll worth having in our barns. Rich
in protein and mineral matter, the
legume hays are of great Importance In
reducing the amount of protein concen-
trates necessary for properly balanced
ration.
The legumes that We are especially
interested in are the clovers, alfalfa and
the soy bean, although the Canada field
pea and the vetches should not be over
Looked. Alfalfa is generally placed at
the head of the list, because OF its high
protein content, it's abundance OF min
eral matter and it's pslatsbility. 1t Is
ralished by all classes of live stock.
Good clover bay il one Of the best
rougbsges for dairy cows, though a little
lower in protein than alfalfa. For sheep
il Is often preferred to alfalfa. Soy
bean hsy, while a little coarser than
clover and alfalfa, is well liked By cattle
and sheep. It has about the same feed
ing value as clover. Soy bean straw is
excellent for sheep. Pea hay and vetch
bay are very high in protein and are
both valuable legumes.
Our carbonaceous roughsges, as timo-
thy and redtop, do not cheaper produc-
ton the way legumes do, neither do
they keep animals in such good trim,
Cows that are fed legume hay will
produce lust as much milk on 10 per
cent less grain as they will when fed q
non-legume hay. Stated differently, the
use of legume hay In place of common
or mixed hay will replace 10 per cent Of
the grain required to maintain produc,
tiou. Again, q legume hay Is worth 70
more a ton for dairy cattle when grain
is selling for $50 ton than q non-legume
hay.-Southern Rhode Island Farm

not HARMED BY CITY LIFE
Tests Show Country Boy Is Not Bet
ter Off Than His Cousin
Of the Town..

That the country boy Is better on
physically than the city youngster Is
accepted almost as a dogma. This,
though, is not borne out by series OF
comparisons made from army stats-
tics by Prof. o. g. CHASER Of the Uni
versity Of Michigan.
Selection was made Of a typical set
Of cities of 10000 to 100000 popula-
tion. With no large immigrant ele-
ment, and distributed over ten differ
ent states, and a corresponding set of
counties of the same total size, To-
Gated In the same states and contain.
ing no city Of 10000, the total number
Of registrants in the two areas be-
ing $4,000. The result Of the COM
parison was MS follows: The reject
ed were 2s.47 per cent Of the city boys
and 27.98 per cent Of the country
boys. The result, therefore, was prac-
tically a tie, showing that the country
boy does not possess greater de-
gree of the physical souuiness nee
essary for his acceptance as a soldier.
It might have been thought, COM
ments the Journal of Heredity, that. on
the whole, the advantages Of fresher
mir and more simple routine would
have shown itself in this test and that
the country boys would have won.
What these figures show is this: That
there are a great many diverse and
complex factors back Of our present
civilization, our supposedly artificial,
commercial or city life, and that many
Of these must have been beneficial to
our citizens. Here at least Is den-
mite difference of environment un.
able to show a measurable modifca-
ton.

making money out Of their tent and

Cultivate Memory,

II Is an almost pathetic fact that
our identity Is conditioned on our
memory. We are essentially what we
remember. Our experiences build our
personality and our knowledge Of these
experiences lies absolutely in our
recollections. II Is obvious, then, that
any individuals quality Of life de-
pends, in great measure, on his mem
ory. A man may eat and sleep, work
and play, and through 1t all have
hardly more understanding than do
the beasts. The memories Of such q
one will be vague, confused, a blur on
the tablets Of the mind.
It must be remembered that the
average brain will readily bear all
needful burdens imposed upon It and
that the memory will do Its full duty.

Bangor will have an anniversary on

Bangor will have an anniversary on
OCT. 20 which breaks the records Of
unique anniversaries for It was on the
afternoon Of Dot. 20. 1858, that, when
dusk fell the first kerosene oil lamps
were lighted in this community, says the
Commercial. DR.. Daniel w. Msxfield
recalls this anniversary because 1t was
just one day before his wedding and that
took place 81 years ago. Kerosene oil
cost in those days just 81 40 a gallon.
On the day when the. firm of Kicker &
Ireland received their first consignment
of oil lamps six Bangor men purchased
them, Dr.. Maxfield being one OF the
six. The lamps cost $3.50 each. They
were of the standing lamp so.called, q
type that is In use now wherever glass
lamps are used. The glass column up
holding the oil pot was fixed in square
of white marble and they were attractive
lamps and much sought after for the sale
was brisk after that. But on that first
day six men bought the lamps for their
homes. One was sold to the late DR..
Blaisdell; Messrs. Kicker and Ireland
each purchased one; the late Henry Viii.
liams purchased one, and DR.. Maxfield
one. All are dead now save DR.. Max
field. The sixth lamp was purchased by
some one whose name cannot now be re-
called. But six lamps burning kerosene
were lighted on Oct. 20, 1853, and their
light, say those who know, was as far
superior to the old time fluid lamp as the
electric light is superior to oil lamps.
