THIS THE GARDEN OF EDEN?
Many Believe That Territory in Which
Famous Spot Was Situated Has
Been Located.

"And the Lord God planted garden
to the eastward in Eden. And river
went out of Eden to water the garden;
and it was parted into four heads."-
Genesis.
Sir William Willcocks, who, in be-
half of the British government. has
had charge of the wonderful irrigation
works in Egypt, was assigned not long
ago to the duty of planning a similar
large-scale enterprise for the restOra-
ton of ancient Babylonia to it's former
agricultural prOductiveness.
Thus it happened that he located. to

den of Eden. For reasons wholly prac-
teal he thought that the best way to
begin.

tradition placed the gates of paradise

The Euphrates (known by that name

the Hindia. The Hiddekel is the mod

Tigris at Bagdad. The PisOn has gone

that she would know when her right

the iron and silk. Do not let the light

When black silk or satin begins to
shine, sponge on the right side with a
mixture Of two parts of gin and one CT

To Remove Grease Stains From Silk.
When any greasy substance has
been dropped upon silk it can be abb

Both Suits and Dresses.

Owing to the proportions Of the
preseDt demand for women's wear,
the coming fall season promises to
see suits and dresses bought in equal
amounts. Only a short time ago in
the history of the dress trade it was
always question of a choice between
the two styles of garments, with rare
ly time when both were equally
good. Manufacturers of dresses hold
the present demand for quality re-
spons:ble in measure for the field
that exists for both suits and dresses,
and as long as both maintain high
standards they stand the same chance
Of acceptance. This stabilizing OF
conditions has been a decidedly vel.

animal. AS a rule, pig to II
months old will be in proper breed
ing condition when received unless he
has been very heavily overfed. In
purchasing an older boar, particularly
one which has been in the show cir
cult, it is often necessary to reduce
his condition before attempting to
breed. With some animals the breed
ing power is permanently impaired
by too high condition at some time in
their life. The boar should be well
fed but not fat, as too high condi-
ton makes him inactive, slow breed
er. and rather uncertain sire.
After the breeding season the boar
should not be fed so heavily, and
should have a wider ration, that is,
one containing less of the protein
concentrates and relatively more corn.
The ration at this time is practically
the same as that fed the brood sow

Do NOT NEGLECT HERD BOAR
Management IL Important Part in
Raising Strong, Healthy Pigs-
Deserves Best Care.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The management Of the boar Is a
very important part In the raising of
strong, healthy pigs, and one which is
sometimes neglected. He should be
the most valuable animal in the whole
herd, and as such deserves the best of
attention. The boar should be pur-
chased from a breeder Of pure-bred
hogs when between eight months and
one year Of age. Many breeders, how
ling pig, but to be successful in this
choice requires a wide experience and
sound judgment. Aged boars which
have proved their worth can some
times be purchased at a reasonable
price. It is much safer for an inex-
perlenced breeder to buy an old. ac-
tive boar than a young untried boar.
If possible, the farmer should visit
the herd where the boar was raised
and note the conditions under which
he was bred. At any rate, it Is always
possible to obtain from the breeder

as an index to his subsequent treat
ment.
Upon arriving at the farm the boar
should be unloaded as soon as pos
sible and placed in quarantine to
guard against the Introduction Of dis
ease into the herd. If he is lousy it is
well to treat this condition at once
