Gardening on Ocean Liners.

Most Atlantic liners carry several
gardeners. Modern liners carry an
enormous number Of palms. Hundreds
Of these are used to decorate the sa-
looms and corridors. Then there Is a
pleasant place like d veranda which Is
called the tea garden, where one sits
amongst bay trees and other shrubs
planted In little tubs. Many ships
have trellis work, with Ivy and other
creepers trained over 1t.
Cut flowers for table decoration
have to be provided by the ships gar.
deners. On both sides Of the Atlantic
a great quantity of cut flowers are
taken on board at the beginning Of
the voyage. They are placed in cold
storage, whence supply for the ia
bles Is taken as 1t Is wanted.
Several tons Of fresh vegetables are
stored away in a chilled room, and
these also are taken out as they are
required.

soft gray silk, with her CRAVING hair
pinned in knot at her neck, looked
like some pOmpadour figure as she
wandered restlessly about the garden.
1t was not until she heard voices at
the house that she arose from her
wedding and slowly went back to face
the past.
There was Bob Richards, stubbOrnly
faithful in spite of his broken engage
ment, playing with Doris cat; and
there was Doris, irradiating glorious
youth her dark bobbed hair blowing
in the sweet evening breezes, her awed
eyes lifted to Frank Delayne's face.
'Here she Is at last !" cried Doris,
and the governor whirled around to
stare for moment at the slim figure
coming slowly across the grass. The
tea kettle dubbed furiously just then,
and Bob and Doris flew TO subdue 1t;
the governor went to meet Angela, his
blue eyes keen like boys.
Angela he said simply as he took
her hand in his, "you told me once
upon a time to go away-yOu never
wanted to see me again"
Eyes," gasped Angela family, her
eyes seeking her refuge, the garden.
But one says so many foolish
things"
"Yes-and they hurt all through the
years. What young fool l was in
those days not to come back to you"
yes" agreed Angela softly.
'There Is such lot to explain
when l saw the child yesterday l was
fascinated; 1 told myself it was either
your daughter or a near relative-so
-I-came."
II am-glad-you have been so sue
cessful," said Angela, regaining her
pOise somewhat,
"Yes-in a measure" he said pa
tiently, "but l came to find out today
whether l shall be the only bachelor
governor the state has ever known
Or"
"They have gone into the rose gar
den," said Doris Indignantly, as she
moistened burned finger.
"Why not? They were engaged to
be married and quarreled twenty years
ago-great scott, he's kissing your
Aunt Angela !" Bob turned his head
away from the rose garden and en-
cOuntered Doris Drumming eyes.
"Where's-my ring" she wanted to
know.

GULL POOR PRODUCING HENS
Work Should 30 Started In Summer
and During Early Fall Months
Comb 10 Indicator.

The hens should be culled out dur.
ing the summer and early fall
months, beginning to Gull out the poor
producers just as soon as they STOP
laying, which Is usually in July and
August. When hen Is laying her
comb will be large, full Of blood, and
bright red In color. AS she stops lay
Ing, the comb becomes small and
shrunken, pale or dull In color. and
Is usually rather hard. Another good
indication to use In selecting those
hens which stop laying early is mott
ing, as the heht that start to mott
early-that Is, in July and August
are usually the poorest producers.
While a hen which has molted most
of her feathers Is very easy to pick
out by sight without examination, the
only way to ascertain accurately
when the hens begin to mott Is to han
die them. Before the body and wing
Der you will find short pin feathers
growing thickly on the back and In
the feather tracts running back from
the breast, indicating that these hens
have started to mott and probably
have stopped laying If their combs
and general appearance Indicate non
production. The pelvic bones are also
helpful In making this test rs these
:wo bones tend to close up when the
hen stops laying. IL the spread be
tween these bones measures two
fingers or less the probability Is that
the hen Is not laying, while IL the
spread Is greater, together with other
indications mentioned, she Is probably
laying.

GOLD TEETH WERE "STYLE"
Vogue Among Negroes Caused Some
what Alarming Shortage Of Metal
During the War.

The peculiar effect Of sunlight re-
fiecting on a glistening row of gold
teeth, and their appeal to the vanity
of the South's negroes, caused o lot
Of worry to government treasury Off
Gals during the war. This came from
Robert b. Steele, New York diamond
merchant, who in war times was Uni
ted States silver and gold admin
istratOr.
1.-THE office Of silver and gold ad-
ministratOr was unknown to most peO-
pie and it's activities had to be kept
quiet" said Mr.. Steele, "as misunder
standing persons learning Of them
might have started money panic"
When gold was needed most by the
government, according to Mr.. Steel,
the administration discovered there
was leak somewhere. Agents were
sent out broadcast to investigate. The
leak was traced south. Then into the
dentists offices. Dentists were
checked up, and 1t was found they
We're using more than four times as
much gold as they normally did. What
were they doing with 1t?
1t was found that there was an I'M
precedented demand by negroes for
gold teeth. For weeks they would
save the high wages they made in war
times, and when they had saved
enough, they would invest In gold
crowns What mattered in that their
own white worries were strong and
sound! Gold teeth were the style,
and many a perfect tooth suffered as
the result Of 1t.
"While we had gold reserve Of
about $2,OOOOOO,OOO, the government
needed every bit of it to pay war
debts" said Mr.. Steele. ''The object
Of the administration was to gradually
shut off the use of gold, so that 1t
would not be felt, and so that the gov
eminent could build up reserve
ample to take care Of any possible
needs. "-New Orleans Times-Picayune.

EXPERIENCE NEEDED
WITH ALFALFA CROP
Farmer Soon Learns Best Time
for Cutting Plant.
Government Experts Lean Strongly
Toward Fewer Crops During Year,
Holding That Larger Tonnage
Can Be Secured.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Just when to cut alfalfa and how
many times to harvest u crop in one
season are questions which have re-
ceived studied attention from experts
In the United States Department of
Agriculture and the various expert
ment stations In alfalfa-prOducing
states. Ordinarily 1t Is good time
to cut alfalfa for hay when the new
shoots have started from the crown,
and from one-tenth to One-fifth of the
plants are In flower. But these two
conditions do not always occur at the
same time. However, the farmer with
a little experience, and keeping in
mind the flower and new shoots, soon
Is able to tell when his alfalfa crop
should be cut. The farmers best judg-
ment will be called into play, with
preference given to the welfare Of the
plant rather than the size of the crop.
Experiments on government plats
seem to prove that cutting Is not es-
sential to the welfare Of the plant.
but Is only means Of getting hay.
