GARDEN BRINGS HEALTH
TO MANY CITY JEWELLERS.

Community gardens have been en-
couraged in the city of Philadelphia
for the last twenty three years, pri-
marily as means of helping people
to help themselves. The same class of
work has been carried on in other
cities for shorter periods of time, with
an equal degree of success and satisfac-
tion, according to the United States
department of Agriculture. The orig
inal object in every case was to help
the people to provide food at home,
but incidentally and unexpectedly q
number of other benefits which in their
way have proved of greater value than
the original purpose have developed.
These have to do with the health and
pleasure of the families of the garden.

both the gardener and the nation.

COLORADO AND ITS INDUSTRIES

Farming and stockraising, which are
now Colorado's chief industries, have
been followed here ever since the or
ganization of Colorado territory, in
1861. 1t was not until long after Col
orado was admitted to the Union as
a state, however, that the possibilities
of ats territory for the production Of
crops began to be fully realized, and
the production of livestock on a scale
in keeping with the state IS resources
did not begin until most of the range
where stock was originally pastured
in large numbers, had passed into pri-
vate ownership.
Stockraising developed much more
rapidly than agriculture and for time
previous to 1910 this state was one
of the largest producers Of range cattle
and sheep Since that time, however,
there has been II very large increase in
the value of the annual livestock out
put, due chiefly to the rapid increase
in the number of dairy cattle, the pro-
duction of larger number of fat cat
tie for market, and fewer stock, big
growth in the production of swine and
a very substantial increase in the num-
her of horses and mules raised.
The census report for 1920, recently
made public, gives the value of live
stock on farms in the state January l,
1920, as $l6O,l61,344.
A substantial increase is shown in
the number of livestock of every class,
the greatest percentage of increase be-
ing for swine and dairy cattle.
Stockraising is now being followed
in every county in the state. and lie
more widely distributed in its activi-
ties than agriculture, for the reason
that thousands of cattle and sheep are
pastured every summer on the noun
tain ranges, where no crops except M
tural grasses can be grown, and where
the land can never be cultivated.
The census report showed the follow
ing number Of livestock on farms in
the state on January l, 1920: Horses,
,704; mules, 31,l25; cattle, 1,756,-

UTILIZATION OF TABLE SCRAPS
REDUCES POULTRY FEED BILL.

If the city flock is to prove to be
an economic success it must be fed
cheaply.
Scraps of meat or leftover vegeta-
bles which cannot be utilized in any
other way make excellent food. Many
other waste products, such as beet tops,
turnip tops, carrot tops, potato par
ings, onion tops, watermelon and can
taloupe rinds, waste lettuce leaves, and
bread and cake crumbs are relished by
the hens and can be used to good ad-
vantage. r..rI
In saving the scraps and waste it is
well to separate the portions adapted
for feeding to the flock and place these
in receptacle or pail of their own.
Decomposed waste material or moldy
bread or cake should never he saved
to feed TIC the hens, as it is harmful
to them and may cause serious bowel
trouble. Sloppy dishes, such as dish
water, should not be thown into their
pail. 1t is also useless to put in such
things as banana Feelings or the skins
of oranges, as these have little or no
food value.
Any sour milk which is not utilized
in the house should be given to the
chickens. This should be fed separately
however, either by allowing the hens
| tn, lrip h,r Lob
Der on the back of the stove and feed
ing it in that condition. When the
family's table waste is not sufficient
for feeding the flock, it is usually pos
sible to get some of the neighbors who
keep no hens to save material suitable
for feeding. Many people are glad to
do this if small pail in which to put
the waste is furnished
Table scraps and kitchen waste are
best prepared for feeding by running
them through an ordinary household
food chopper or meat grinder. After
the material has been put through the
grinder it is usually rather moist
mass, and it is well to mix it with
some corn meal, bran, or other ground
grain until the whole mass assumes u
crumbly condition. The usual method
is TO feed the table scraps at noon or
at night, or at both times, as may be
desired, in trough or on board.
All should be fed that the hens will eat
up clean, and if any of the material
is left after one-haif or three quarters
of an hour, it should be removed. If
allowed to remain it may spoil and he
cry lad for the hens.

about man like Mr.. Hughes in the
short time we have tonight. l will
try to tell you something, though, to
show you that Mr.. Harding is living
up to his promise to choose the hest
men of the country for his official
family
Where was he born asked Ruth.
He was born,' answered Uncle
Ted, Eat Glen Falls, New York, April
IL, 1862. He first went to college at
Colgate University from 1876 to 1878,
and received his first degree of A. B.
from Brown University, in 1881. Since
that time he has received degrees from
practically every great university in
the United States. He was governor
of New York state for two terms and
II member of the United States Supreme
Court, the highest court in the country,
from which position he resigned when
he was nominated on the Republican
ticket for President, in June, 1916. At
that election he received 2j4 electoral
votes, while Woodrow Wilson received
277. In addition to these importan.
offices he has held, and honors which
have been bestowed upon him, he has
been attorney in some of the most i'm.
portant eases in the history of the
country.
SIN boiled-down way, that shows
you how big a man Mr.. Harding has
picked to hold the highest post in his
Cabinet
"What do you mean by highest
posi- asked Jack. .
"You see, Jack, according to law, il
anything happens to the President of
the United States, if he dies or il as
sassinated, as was the case with Presi-
dents Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley,
the Vice President becomes President
for the remainder OF the term, whether
it be two days or two years.
What would happen if the Vice.
President should die after that."
WIS Ruth quick question.
Just what 1 was getting to- said
Uncle Ted. eff the President dies and
then the Vice-President dies during the
same term the secretary of state is the
next man in line for the presidency.
SO you see it is important to have i
I big man for the job. But that is a
small reason compared with the actual
duties of secretary of state. He
conducts our correspondence with all
foreign countries. Largely upon his
recommendations, ambassadors, minis.
tors and consuls are appointed. His
department handles all passports for
those who wish to travel in foreign

TEST SEEDS BEFORE PLANTING

American farmers suffere losses every
year through inferior seed, the United
States Department of Agriculture finds.
If seeds are foul with weeds, or if seeds
are dead, the loss cannot be made up
once the crop is in the ground. II a
crop is to be planted in April. discov-
cry of poor seed in May does no good.
The remedy is to test seeds in home
germinator in advance of planting
Small samples of seed are counted
ont and sowed in moist soil in some
shallow receptacle like a kitchen plate.
The plate may be kept near the stove
or anywhere to maintain temperature
conducive to termination. When the
plants have had time to sprout count
of the results will give a good indica-
ton of the value of the seed.

HAYS WILL RESIGN
FROM NATIONAL COMMITTED

WASHINGTON, March Twill 81.
Hays will resign as chairman Of the
Republican national committee soon
after he enters the Harding cabinet as
postmaster general. Mr.. Hays came
here today to attend the Inauguration.
In q conference with newspaper men,
held prior to the announcement by
President-elect Harding of his selec-
ton as postmaster general, Mr.. Hays
referred to reports of his appointment
and said if that eventuality'' came
about he would quit the national COM
mittee.
Discussion as to the probable sue
cessor of Mr.. Hays as national com
mittee chairman centered around A. r.
Hert, national committeeman from
Kentucky, and Charles d. Hilles, of
New York, former chairman of the
committee.
Mr.. Hays said that the immediate
purpose of his visit was to prepare for
the meeting tomorrow of sub-com-
mittee of the national body which will
take up read justment of southern rep
resentation in national conventions.
Thursday there will be a meeting of
the full national committee, together
with the executive committee, which
will "mop up' loose ends of the cam
paign, M. Hays said.
There will be other meetings of the
national committee and the sub-commit
i tee, to work out some sort of new
scheme of representation before June
Is.
| Asked as to the deficit of his party
organization, Mr.. Hays replied that it
was being met satisfactorily.
"When the campaign ended,' he
added, eve had deficit of one and
one-half million and surplus in votes
Of seven and one-half million. We are
not worried. The ten per cent. pay
ments are coming in rapidly

countries, and his is a most responsible
position, requiring at all times not only
the best brains but tact and resource
tulness.
"Now l want to tell you a little in
cident that happened when Mr.. Hard
ing told the newspaper men down in
Florida that Mr.. Hughes would be his
secretary of state. 1t shows so we'll
that Mr.. Harding has gone slow IN
picking big men for his cabinet, and
how he intends to have those men run
their own departments and not to be
echoes Of his own wishes and slaves of
his every within, as we have seen for
the last eight years from Woodrow
Wilson and his so-called cabinet off
GERS. OF course, newspaper men, as
well as others who have kept up with
the news, were not surprised when Mr..
Harding made this announcement. He
simply told the group of news writer's
that he had asked Mr.. Hughes to Flor
ida to offer him the cabinet post, and
that he was happy to say that Mr..
Hughes had accepted. Someone then
asked Mr.. Harding what the two men
had talked about i'll their conversa-
tons. This was because it will depend
a great deal on the secretary of state
as 10 just how we will bring about
actual peace with Germany. Mr.. Hard
ing said, Governor Hughes can tell
YOU himself And then went on to say
that that would be the policy of the
Harding administration. Cabinet off
GERS will run their departments in CO.
operation with the White House. They
will not be run by dictation and fiat
orders from the White House.
"Now, lot of people who are
against the world club plan think Mr..
Hughes is in favor of it. They are
greatly mistaken. He has always been
absolutely opposed to that dangerous
part, Article X, and a strong supporter
of the Monroe doctrine, which ! e4-
planned to You a long time ago. I
could read you statements of his from
a dozen different speeches showing you
that he is not for the world club. Here
is one strong one:
s''I believe that Senator Harding's
election will afford the surest way Of
securing our proper relation to inter
national cooperation. The essentials
of any really effective plan can be Sc
cured, and 7 believe will be secured,
under the presidency of Mr.. Harding,
without guarantees which attempt to
commit us in unknown contingencies,
and which will serve as trouble breed
ers and not as peaeemakers. Under his
leadership we shall have our foreign
relations conducted in accordance with
our best traditions, and America 8 duty
to the world will be discharged without
ignoring her duty to herself.
"And here is another good sign.
Mr.. Hughes has promised to hold daily
conferences at the State Department
with the newspaper men, so that the
people of the country will be informed
of everything possible that is going on
in our relations with foreign powers. !"
