MEANS DEATH OF GRAMMAR
New Rule Which Has Abolished Fer
nal and Elaborate English Style
of Former Days.

English as commonly written today
certainly seems to have lost the purity
and strength that it had a century ago,
observes the Spokane Spokesman Re
view. Then such masters of the Ian
guage as CObbe, Coleridge, DeQuincey
Or Hazlitt were journalists as well as
poets or essayists, and their leading
articles lost nothing of effect on the
public from being literature.
The ARRIVAL of the age of steam, cleo
tricity and cheap postage was followed
by change, not for the better, in the
popular style of speaking and writing
Say what you have TO say as briefly
and quickly as possible, and don't
bother about fineness of expression
became the general rule and practice
The new millions of readers demanded
that their reading be expressed IN the
language of everyday speech. The
obligation of COMPRISING conclusions
about important matters into 1000
words, or fewer, is death, in the end,
to style. The literary form favored is
in touch with the turned-up-trousers
fashion of wearing ones clothing. 1t
Is free and easy and crammed with
linguistic atrocities. Plural subjects
are polygamously welded to singular
verbs, and Lindley Murray turns in his
grave on account of the death of gram

The ultimate success of a home gar
den depends largely upon the inter-
est of the gardener being maintained
throughout the season. Many persons
have gotten the idea that when the
garden is planted and cultivated two
or three times their work has ended,
and as a result the garden soon goes
to weeds or is destroyed by insects and
diseases. The successful gardener, de-
clare the specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, is
the one who wages a continuous fight
against the enemies of the garden
from the very start, never Sinking his
duty and being everlastingly on the
job.
A crop of weeds can be destroyed in
a few moments by means of steel
rake or a hoe, if it is used when the
weeds are just coming through the
ground. If allowed to remain, the
weeds become firmly rooted and a
thorough renovation of the garden is

Seem Innocent, but They're Not.
A few old-fashioned hardshell potato
bugs may not appear to do any great
harm, but the crop of soft-shelled bee
ties they produce will eat the leaves
from the potato vines almost before
you know they are present. A few
spores Of some mildew or other dis
ease may not do any great amount of
damage, but if the weather is favor
able for the spread Of the disease, it
will soon cause the loss of the entire
crop.
The old adage Of "A stitch in time
saves nine applies with double force
TO the care of the garden. Keep UP
interest in the garden and make sue
cesSive paintings of various crops, so
that continuous supply of vegetables
may be provided for the table. There
is nothing gained by having the land
lie idle, and it is easier to keep it clean
if there is paying crop upon it.
"Seedy" Gardens Show Neglect.
Too often gardens with a "seedy''
appearance are seen in the middle of
the summer. The brush on which the
peas were grown or the wire trellis on
which they were trained is left with
the remains of the crop upon it, and
general unsightliness rules the entire
plot. 1t is little more trouble to keep
things neat and attractive, but it pays
in the long run; and if you as gar
dener want TO maintain a reputation

The future outlook for dairying in
the world was never on firmer basis.
The fact remains that dairying is

er conditions. It IS always limited by
farmers that there is too much drudg-
cry connected win milking cows. How
ever, this feature is lost sight Of when
the cows are really producing profit
to those engaged in the business. Too
often it is found that dairying does
not pay with high priced feeds. This
is nearly always due to two factors:
first, the COW herself is a poor pro-
ducer; second, dairyman himself is at
| fault in the care that he gives his
cows.
1t has been said that the Uncom-
pahgre Valley is in need of better
cows. This is absolutely true. There
are some excellent cows owned by
project farmers, but it is safe to say
that where there is really one good
producer there a~e three that are not
! paying for their feed. There are any

COW of this kind will eat up the profit

| For summer feeding under local con-
ditions. an irrigated pasture should
be provided, and this pasture kept in
condition by proper watering. to sup

times during the season. Nothing will
give such good results in dairying as
a green pasture. Irrigated pastures in
this valley have been proven sue

ing. hay of good quality and succul-
ent feed such as sllsge or roots will
provide an excellent ration. Some of
your cows will respond to grain if
if they have the capacity to produce

capacity has been determined by re-
cord keeping, the continued use of
I good bulls, and with intelligent care
and feeding through use of hay, pas
ture silage or roofs, dairying can be
