SEED MIXTURES ARE COSTLY
Much Advertised Clover Timothy Con
tain Very Little of Former-Of
Little Value.

So-called clover-timothy seed mix
lures, which are widely advertised
by certain seed firms at what may
lppear to be attractive prices, often
'ontain so little alsike or red clover
hat they are of little, if any, more
alue than timothy seed, but actually
'ost nearly double the market price
# that seed, say specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
ulture. These mixtures are usually
lfered by the bushel followed by the
qualifying statement that bushel
Weighs only 40 pounds.
In other words, this seed is offered
rs clover and timothy with the claim
hat the different seeds occur in the
proper proportions for seeding, while
frequently there is not more than 5
or 6 per cent of clover present-not
enough to be of any value in the crop
Persons who buy mixed seed can
not be too careful to learn the exact
proportion of the mixtures they get
and the quality of the seed composing
them. Otherwise, they are likely to
pay an exorbitant price for seed that
will not give the crop wanted.

ROOM FOR YOUNGER CRITICS
They Have Place in the World and
aDuty That is Well Worth
Performing.

The younger critics. says Haywood
BrOun, are the lineal descendants of
that little child in Anderson'S fairy
tale who, when the emperor was be-
ing made a spectacle of and all the
world was being fooled by the sharp
tailor, refused to be quiet and cried
out, "He hasn't got anything on" These
young enthusiasts who have no posi-
tons to lose and no dignities to live
up to go about pointing to all our
literary emperors and calling attention
TO the Scantiness of their attire of
greatness, and refuse to be silenced
by their scandalized or terrified elders.
Good sense bids us welcome their hon
est gaze at even the sacrOsanct per-
sons. 1t can't hurt anything really
fine, and it's about time we came out
of some Of our illusions. William AL
len White sized it up about right from
the conservative point of view when
he said in praising Main Street: "Of
course, Pm on the other side of the
street myself, but that's just the rea-
son why l like this book. 1t gives us
fellows something to answer"

SUCCESS IN RAISING GEESE
Fowls Subsist Largely on Grass Dur
ing Growing Season, and Require
Little Attention.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment 81 agricultural
Practically all the geese in this
country are raised in small hocks on
general farms, and few, if any, farms
are devoted entirely to raising geese,
Geese can be raised successfully in
small numbers and at profit on
farms where there is plenty of grass
or pasture land with natural supply
of water, The birds, both young and
old, are very hardy and are rarely af-
fected by any disease or insect pests.
Grass makes up the bulk of the feed
for geese, and it is doubtful wheth-
er it pays to raise them unless good
grass range is available. Geese are
the closest known grazers, and both
the mature geese and the partially
grown goSlingS will get their entire
living from good pasture so long as
the grass remains green.
A body of water where they can swim
is considered essential during the
breeding season, and is desirable dur
ing the rest Of the year. If there is
no natural pond, an artificial one or
tanks may be supplied to advantage.
The market for geese is not so gen
eral as for chickens; this fact should
be considered, poultry specialists in
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture say, in undertaking to raise
geese. The demand and the price paid
for geese are usually good in sections
where geese fattening is conducted on
large scale.
Geese are fed a ration TO produce

Goslings hatched under hens should
be examined for head lice, and a little
grease-lard or vaseline-applied with
the fingers on the head and neck.
Some breeders who hatch with both
geese and hens give all the goslings to
the geese, which make the best moth

Many of Plants.
WAYS OF IRRlGATING GARDEN
Suggestions Given Showing How tho
Work Should Be Done for Best
Results-Thorough Cultivation
Should Be Given,

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Garden crops drink lots of water
1t is just as essential to their growth
as is plantfood or sunlight practi-
cally every home gardener who has
looked upon his thriving garden with
pride in the spring has experienced
various degrees of lost hope during
midsummer droughts when the plants
he has worked with so carefully stand
with dropped heads for LACK of mois-
ture. Experienced gardeners always
provide some means of supplying
moisture to keep their gardens grow
Ing vigorously through dry spells. Va
rious ways of irrigating gardens are
outlined by garden specialists Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture.
The essentials for the successful
watering of garden crops, they say,
are, first, an adequate supply Of wa
ter, and second, suitable means of dis
tributing it to the plants. Whenever
the garden is within reach of city
water supply hose can be used to
advantage, drawing water from the
regular piping system. Where a sup
ply Of this kind is not available, often
it is possible TO pump water with Il
small gas engine and a pump. The
source of water will vary with local
conditions, and each gardener must
work out his own problem, but there
its application.
Too Much SprinkIing Injurious.
Frequent sprinkling of garden
plants and the surface soil with the
hose usually does more harm than
good. The best results can be real
lied where water is applied only after
the soil has become reasonably dry,
and the plants are almost at the point
of showing the need of water. The
soil should then be well soaked, and
no more water applied until it is again
fairly dry. In the meantime thor
ough cultivation should be given, be-
ginning as soon as the surface soil
is dry enough to work.
There are three distinct methods of
applying the water. The overhead
sprinkler system, used by many mar
ket gardeners, consists Of pipe x inch
or j inch in diameter with line of
holes of about 1872 inch in diameter
drilled at intervals of every feet
along one side. The pipe is support
ed on lines Of stakes driven in the
ground across the garden. One end
is capped or plugged, and to the other
connection is made with the water

is discharged at any desired angle or
direction through the small holes on
the side of the pipe. Water should be
applied by the sprinkler system only
during the latter part of the day or
In the evening so that it will have
plenty Of time to soak into the soil
overnight. An abundance of water
should be put on at one time, and

Expensive but Effective.
Subirrigation or underground water
ing is practiced in many localities, es-
pecially where the subsoi is rather
close, and does not allow the water to
flow away freely. Lines of ordinary
open joint drain tile, such as are used
on farms for draining land, are en-
ployed. The tiles are laid in lines 4
to 8 feet apart, at depth of Is to IS
inches, so they will not be disturbed
In blowing In laying the tile the lines
should be level and the joints placed
close together The water will flow
through the tiles and escape at the
joints into the soil. This is perhaps
the best method of applying water to
garden crops wherever the conditions
are suitable for its use, as the water
goes direct to the roots of the plants

Will Plants Make Good Growth
In Cold Climate.

The grain sOrghums are of subtropi-

where the temperatures are high. The
seeds will not terminate well nor will
the plants make a normal growth in
cold soils For the best results seed
ing must not be done too early in the
