THE GARDEN
BY MARY POTTER DAVIS.

The Golden Age Of India was the
period during which the country was
ruled by the Mongols, or Great Moguls.
Babar, the first of these mighty kings,
took time from his many campaigns
against the Afghans to design some
charming gardens one Of which, the
Garden of Fidelity, seems to have been
source of special pleasure to him.
On his way to war, while crossing the
mountains, or visiting the distant cities
of his domain, he noticed the flowers
around him and wrote their descrip-
tions in his records. He admired the
Perfect Garden, the Heart delighting
and the Garden of the Plain, near
Samarcand, and found in Turkestan
and Persia many lovely water gardens"
which he wished to initiate. He selected
Agra for his own garden palace. and,
In spite Of dust and Scorching winds, so
annoying to one Of northern ancestry
succeeded in creating a very beautiful
formal setting for his palace and forts.
The wife Of his great-grandson, Jahan-
CIR, was the famous Nur-Mahal Of East
ern story. This royal lady was of
Persian and Turkish ancestry, and in
herited the love of these people for
flowers and garden scenery. Many OF
the world-renowned gardens which
have figured In Oriental romances were
created by her command. AT the en-
trance to q mountain pass that leads to
Kashmir was the lovely garden dis
covered by Akbar, her father-in-law,
and called Wah Bagh ooh, what
gardenD from his exclamation when he
first saw 1t. Within 1t, Jahangir after
ward built the garden palace where the
royal parties journeying to their Sum-
mer homes among the hillside gardens
of Kashmir often found rest and re-
freshment.
The royal gardens at Delhi. built dur
ing the reign of Shah Jehan. required
nine years for their completion: their
palaces, forts and temples were sur
rounded by canals and numberless
fountains.
The great Shah Jehan. son of Jahan-
CIR was exceedingly happy In the love
Of Mumtaz Mal1al. his favorite queen.
She went with him on his expeditions
of conquest, and was in all ways con-
genial and affectionate companion. At
her death he was inconsolable. The
court was kept in strict mourning for
two years. and each succeeding anni-
versary of her death was observed with
solemn ceremonies. The sorrowing nus
band at last decided to erect
memorial In her honor. A beautiful
garden at Agra was first purchased. and
the exquisite Tai Mahal. tomb OF the
beloved queen. was built within it. The
garden was at one time allowed TO
grow so luxuriantly that 1t almost OBJ
structed the view of the Tai. but now,
with its long. narrow pool. its bushes
OF fragrant frangipanni blossoms. and
its countless little long-tailed green
parrots fitting among the expresses, 1t
forms a setting, almost breath-taking
In It's loneliness. for the jewel of archi-
lecture which speaks to the world with
such poignant tenderness Of the happi-
ness Of welded love.

Reducing After Operation.

Dear Miss Leeds.-I am 40 years old,
5 feet tall and weight ia pounds, Am
I over or under weight? I show my
stoutness only in my abdomen and
hips and just lately since having an
operation. What can do to have less
stomach? JUST FORTY.
Answer-If your weight remains con-
slant and you feel active and healthy,
I would consider your present weight
correct for you, although 1t is below the
average weight for women of your age
and height. The average woman OF 40,
however, is too heavy for her own good.
Since you have recently had an opera
ton do not like to recommend any
exercises for you. Ask your physician
whether or not it is too soon to begin
exercising the abdominal muscles. II
something has been removed from the
abdominal cavity the place may be hll-
ing up with fat as often happens. If
your doctor approves of your taking
exercises now, I shall be glad to send
YOU my leaflet on the subject If you will
write again and incloSe stamped, self
addressed envelope for my reply.

Answer-O A girl of your age
should wear fiat heels about Il inches

wear a little higher heel Do not wear
spike heels. They tend to thicken the

Printed Beads.

Printed Beads.
With the almost universal fashion OF
printed frocks this Summer, new vart-
ants of the printed mode come into
being daily. The latest of these Is the
iewelry to be worn with prints. Gayly
decorative beads in composition with
occasional gold. black and crystal beads
form smart necklaces.
The sketch shows Patou's newest
version of his rondel necklace. Vari-
colored pastel rondels have large round
pearls, crystals and gold beads at
intervals.

Name Rye
One of Best Hog Feeds

and are discovering that pork
from rye-fed pigs has many qualities Of
flavor and texture which many consider
superior even 10 orn-fed pork.
The efforts at the North Montana ex-
pertinent station during the past winter.
Mr.. Vinke explains. have been directed
toward finding the most efficient meth
DDS Of feeding rye in combination with
other Montana-gTown Grains. Livestock
day visitors will have AT opportunity to
see the results OF these experiments
which Will help answer such questions
as the following: Can a rye-alfalfa ra-
ton be improved by the addition of
tankage? Is 1t we'll 10 use tankage with
a rye-barley-alfa mixture2 How does
spring rye compare with fall rye? How
does durum wheat compare with rye as
a feed for fattening pigs?
A record attendance is expected at the
Livestock day meetings this year, Mr..
Vinke states, not only because livestock
of all kinds is increasing or the farms Of
northern Montana. making the decidedly
practical experiments at the station Of
importance TO all farmers and stockmen.
but because Livestock day comes the day
before the annual convention Of the
Montana Stockgrowers' association which
will be held at Havre. April IL and 10.
This meeting will attract 'stockmen from
all parts of the state, many OF whom
will visit the experiment station.

THE more quickly and more efficiently
a pig can make a hog Of himself the
L better 1t is for the farmer. 1t is this
idea that is back OF the pig feeding ex-
periments carried on at the North Mon
tana experiment station at Hayre during
the past winter. explains Louis Vinke Of
the Montana experiment station. Seven
lots OF pigs were used in the experiments
and these, along with the beef cattle and
sheep that also have been under test,
will be on exhibit at the time of the
Third Annual Livestock day at the sta
ton. april II. advises the experiment
specialist.
Chief interest In the pig experiments.
Mr.. Vinke explains. centers around the
use Of Montana-grown rye. Two years
ago experiments. at the North Montana
station. disclosed the rather remarkable
fact that Montana rye has certain adj
vantages over rye produced in other parts
OF the country. In other states rye has
become traditionally known as a poor
hog feed because 1t causes digestive dis
turbances. Havre station experiments
demonstrated that rye grown in north
ern Montana has a high feeding value
for hogs and that it may be fed without
causing hogs TO TO 20 of" on their feed.
Since this discovery. rye has become a
popular hog feed in northern Montana

The normal reform wave. which caused
legislation against prize fighting, liquor,

was coming to be felt throughout the
land. The poolrooms were the first to
feel Its effects. Montana In common
with many other states abolished the
poolrooms by legislative enactment. This
was followed by the abolition Of horse
racing in nearly all states and the con-
sequent abandonment of the big race
tracks and stock farms. In many cities
fake poolrooms had been operating
