Plants Should Be Watered
Thoroughly When Very Dry

Water pot plants only when they
need 1t, then water them thoroughly.
When the soil begins to get dry and
powdery OF the surface, or when the
pot is tapped with the fingers and it
emits a ringing sound, the plant re-
Quires water. Then give sufficient
water so that it runs out through the
bottom of the pot; withhold water I'M
til needed again. Giving a little water
every day, or at any stated interval,
Is not the way to water plants. Use
tepid rain water or water that has
been exposed to air and sun II pos
sible for a day or two. The water
should be just lukewarm, about 50
degrees or 60 degrees. Never use ice
cold spring water for plants in winter.
Warm water may be used to mix with
the cold to bring about the tempera-
ture named.

Do Men Know What to Eat?
There Ought to Be a College Course to Teach Them.
Domestic Science Specialist Declares

There should be q college course to instruct young men in the art of
selecting what to cal, an instructor in domestic science at the Kansas State
Agricultural college said recently Not only are many men required to
select their own food 1t public eating houses, and by such selection unwh-
tingy impair" their efficiency, but they absolutely refuse to eat the carefully
thought out meals prepared for them by their wives. They camor for meat
three times each day when the domestic science experts whom they marry
know they should not have it, she added.
"What will it avail carefully to instruct our young women in the art
of planning a carefully balanced meal admirably fitted to meet all the re
quirements of the body if the husbands, for whom they cook, will not
cooperate with them in their efforts to promote health and efficiency by
the formation Of right food habits?" she argued.
"To meet this problem in a certain degree the young men seniors Of
the college ar urged to accept the invitations of the dinner work girls and
try out in this way the effect of scientifically planned meals. By this
means these men will have their attention directed toward balanced raions
and may be favorably enough impressed that the wives of the future will
not find the correct feeding of their husbands such a difficult matter"

Form Habit of Giving Cheer

Cultivate sunny-heartedness, and
you will have a priceless charm for
Frightening existence and hushing
troubled waters into happy peace.
Form the habit Of giving cheer and
encouragement to others, utter

Don't Quench hope. or throw cold wa

ardor, OF create al atmosphere Of cen
sure and fault-fnding. but make folks
Jingle to the ingertips with the hearth

I cannot understand the rage mani.

for reading new books. If the public
had read all those that have gone be-
fore, I can conceive how they should
not wish to read the same work twice
over; but when l consider the count
less volumes that lie unopened, unre-
garded, unread. and unthought Of, I
cannot enter into the pathetic COM
plants that l hear made that Sir
Walter writes NJ more-that the press
is idle. II I have not read a book

poses new to me, whether It was
printed yesterday or three hundred

Of ordinary life. and makes SC much

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

The grower who expects to realize
4 nice profit from his poultry, will
keep purebred stock. Any Of the
standard breeds Of poultry have years
Of intelligent breeding back of them
and they can be depended on to give
satisfaction.
Cross-breeding is a step backward.
Most breeders who practice cross
breeding. mate one of the larger breeds
with n of the smaller, as Plymouth
Rock and Leghorn. The Idea in cross
breeding Is to produce a fowl that
will not only lay wen, but one that
will also make a good table fowl. The
result Of such crossing Is always dis
appointing and results in a flock that
Is little better than mongrels.
The advantages of keeping pure
bred stock are numerous: One al
market a uniform product in eggs
and stock. The value Of uniformity
in products cannot be over-estimated.
A case of Eggs all of a color and size,
or a coop of hens that run uniform in
size and color, will usually sell better
than a mixed lot Of eggs or a coop Of
mongrels.
When purebred poultry is kept one
"a often sell eggs for Matching or
mature stock, at prices that n could
not expect to realize for market eggs
OF scrub stock.
And then the satisfaction and pride
Of caring for a flock of purebred
chickens Is a point that ought to be
considered.

Glossy leaved plants such as palms,

the leaves sponged with clear water
