Wild Boars BECOME Plague

From the few swine that were let
loose on the island of Santa Cruz in
1547 have come a race of ferocious
wild bears. They have lost virtually
every trace of their original domes-

wild beasts as fleet of hoof as deer.
They mature enormous tusks. long

! MANY CHURCHES ON ISLAND
Patmos Long Remarkable for the Large
Number of It's Religious
Edlfices.

One of the most remarkable Islands
In the world Is Patmos, where st.
John wrote the Book Of Revelation. 1t
was always the destination of thou
sands of pilgrims, and in the old days
the rich man who wished to expIate
his sins usually did so by building n
church. The result is that this tiny
island contains the ruins Of no fewer
than 300 churches.
The entire population numbers about
1000, and 1t was when most of the
buildings were founded. AS there are
only 700 houses on the island there
is almost Il church for each two fam
lilies.
The people are Greeks whose only
occupation is sponge fishing, though
there used at one time to be trade
in the manufacture Of stockings.
Curiously enough, though the island
lies quite close to Turkey, there has
never Mt my time been a mosque upon
1t. Possibly the Mohammedans could
not find room for one.

System Adopted by Which UnIettered
Burmese Are Enabled to Recognize
Their Proper Compartments.

A Burmese train is a varlegated af-
fair, the flrst-class carriage being

and the third-class brown. The rea-
son for this is that though they are
also marked first, second and third In
the usual way. the native, whether
Burmese. Shan or other tribe, cannot
read these figures. He can, however,
distinguish one color from another.
and he knows that brown is the color
for his part Of the train. When travel

advisable to keep the window up, 9TH

MORE LEeuMEs MEAN MONEY
Cornell Specialists Say There Is Nc
~sttsr Feed Than Clover, Alfalfa
and Corn sIiags.

The best reason why dalrymen
should use more legumes in feeding
their cattle Is because 1t puts money
In their pockets, say the specialists
on animal feeding at Cornell. They
say there is no better basis for dairy
ration than clover or alfalfa hay, and
good corn sllage. The greater the ca
pacity Of the cows for high-quality
roughage, tile cheaper can milk be
produced. since the quantity Of con-
centrates can be reduced.
Where low protein roughage is fed,
the grain mixture will require 60 per
cent of higi-protein and 40 per cent
Of low-protein feeding stuffs. With
high-protein roughage, the extra cost
on 20 per cent of high-protein feeds
made necessary by low-quality rough
age is saved.
Under favorable conditions the use
Of legume roughage ought to reduce
the cost of production from II to %
per cent.
By feeding" the soil calcium and
phosphorus. tho mineral content OF
pasture and forage may be doubled.
Through the use of legumes 1t Is pos
sible to maintain the mineral reserves
Of cows and young stock, and through
the variety and abundance of proteins
and other elements thus supplied, fur.

CLIMBING ROSES
ADD MUCH BEAUTY
Gay Blossoms Of the Rambler
Are Among the Earliest
of the Season.

Fiction and history are full of al
lusions to beautiful climbing roses,
and replete with word-pictures Of rose
covered trellised porches, lovely rose
arbOrs, hedges and fences, alike de-
lightful in fragrance and delicate
color.
Roses are not climbing plants in the
same sense as grapevines or morning
glories. They have no tendrils and do
not support themselves by twining. 1t
is necessary, therefore. to train and
tie the canes MS they grow. In north
ern sections. winter protection must
be given climbing roses by wrapping
them In straw or laying the vines down
and covering with layer of earth,
adding straw or manure when the
earth Is frozen.

of as hardy climbers, are useful In the
North. They flower in clusters. Roses

i DID AWAY WITH HAND WORK
How Invention Of Printing Machine
Completely Revolutionized tho
Calico Industry.

In the days before the printing ma
chine was invented or even until its
use became general, calico cloth was
printed by hand by the block method.
BY this method the design was out
lined on the surface Of wooden block,
the outlines were bounded by pieces OF
brass or copper and the surface filled
In with felt to hold tn, color. and
sometimes designs Of as many as
three or four colors were printed by
this method. When the block was COM
pleted 1t was dipped in color box and
the pattern was then impressed upon
the fabric by stamping by hand; and
for eacli color to be printed the cloth
had to be stamped by separate op-
Grafton. The work was slow and la
borious and in printing even some pat
terms that were printed In those days
It would take man and one or two
helpers whole year to print as many
yards OF cloth as can be printed on q

Community Gardeners Solve
Problem by Employing Ex-
pert With Tractor.

Getting plowman to pillow the
small garden Is often serious prob.
lem. especially in cities and towns
where very few teams and plows are
available. The community gardeners
have solved this difficulty by having
the entire tract pl0wed and narrowed
in body either by team or tractor.
In this way the work can be done on
an acreage basis and is much cheaper
than by having each individual garden
plowed separately.
The problem Of financing the plow-

dens is solved by each gardener put

RHUBARB, ONE OF
THE BEST DISHES
Favorite Plant Thrives Best in
Sections Where the Ground
Freezes Solid.

In our grandmothers' time rhubarb
was generally referred to as pie
plant" because 1t constituted the fill
Ing for the first fresh pies in the spring
of the year. Stewed rhubarb OR rhu-
barb sauce Is one of the finest dishes
that grace our tables in the early
spring time, and enormous quantities
Of the fresh stalks are marketed
throughout the northern and eastern
states.
Rhubarb does not do well In the
South, but thrives best In sections
where the ground freezes hard and
solid during the winter.
Five to ten hills Of rhubarb will sup
ply the ordinary family, says the Uni.
ted States Department of Agriculture,
but 1t is always desirable to plant a
few extra hills for good measure. The
plants may be set either in the late
fall or the early spring, but no stems
should be pulled the first year. and
very few the second year. After the
second year the plants will increase IN
vigor. but finally get too thick and the
stems become small after six or seven
years. When this happens the roots
or part of them should be dug uV
and divided and the best pieces used
for new planting.
Rhubarb should be planted at one

process to give the plants room to
mature the big bulbs to be stored for
winter, the set onions are coming
along and furnishing the tender young
onions for the table.
The onion set is made for the chief
purpose of producing young onions.
1t is better not to try to grow big
onions from sets, as the set has COM
pleted most Of It's life work, although
an abbreviated and arrested career,
when 1t is put into the ground, and
nine cases out of ten II not pulled
and eaten In its young and tender
growth will shoot up to seed.
Onion sets come In yellow, white,
and red, all dependent upon the vari-
ETY. Of onion seed which was sown for
the sets. The most convenient thing
about onion sets for young onions Is
that they are not so particular about
soil conditions and gardener cnn
harvest young onions from them long
before crop can be gathered from
seed.
