Hot dry soils can be made cool and moist by water or by mulching. It is not a very great task to keep a POULTRY. One hundred baby chicks when hatched will usua'.ly weigh between seven r.nd eight pounds. Wlien the _ _ chicks have reached an age o£ tw.-l -o' small area in cdery watere^during the dry periods. When preparing your new veg^e- table garden set aside soma good well rotted manure for a row of celery. Dig or plow out a space about IS inches wide and about six inches deep and into this scatter the manure about four inches deep. On this place your good garden soil, and mix thoroughly with the manure, and to this add acid phosphate at the rate of 600 pounds per acre. If the gar- den is one which has been well ma- nured for years scatter a coating of manure broadcast and work it into the soil adding acid phosphate as well, and on this good celery can be grown. A well-balanced 4-8-5 com- mercial fertilizer, at the rate of 2,000 pounds per acre, scattered broadcast and well mixed with the soil to a depth of five or six inches, will grow good celery without manure if mois- ture conditions are right. Celery seed will germinate in any good garden soil in about two weeks after planting: during this time the 3 fruits vrith peel chopped fine, to 2^i gallons of water. The bran and paris ] green or white arsenic should be mix- ed while dry.

This will help one tQ understand why broods of chicks â-¼sry so much, and will also aiiist the tbeder to appreciate th« opportunity ^ hand to ^splay his skill, so says Wof. W. B. Graham of the O.A.C. ^ooltry Dept. The use of the incubator and br.^nd- •r 'has forced the poultry keeper to •tnay the methods of growing chicks.

I know many a par- naturally. are always trying to pro- lent who punishes his child for lying tcct themselves. who does the same in his business and A well-knowu woman writer once social life, but in a more polite way. undertook to classify lies. She listed lies of \-aaity; lies of flattery; lies of convenience; lies of interest; lies of fear; lies of malignity; lies of male- volence, and lies of wantonness. Mark Twain in taking account of stock counted eight hundred and sixty-nine varieties of lies! There is no question that there are perhaps. .A. man will lie in his ad- vertisements, in his misrepresenta- tions of the merchandise he is handl- ing, in cheating customer.-^ in different ways, by covering up defects, in sell- ing "foreign" silks made at home, and all sorts of "imported"' articles made in this country. I know a boy whose father ha<i b*'en abroad and had brought home withi "See. what a wonderful garden i is here, [ Planted and trimmed for my ! Little-Oh-Dear! ' Posies so gaudy and grass of such brown â€" | Search ye the country and hunt i ye the town And never yell meet with a garden so queer As this one I've made for my I Little-Oh-Dear!" i Training that associates itself na-| turaHy with the season of the year is particularly apt to make its im-j pression on a child. The child is sen-; sitive to the natural changes in the world about him and there is value in any "lesson" that can be correlated with the lively interest he takes in the weather, the sky, the trees, and the plants. In the spring, for instance, the child lo^•«s to play in the little rivu- lets that form from the melting snows and the rains. He bridges them; the dashing torrents he dams to turn his little waterwheels; on the quiet navi- gable ones he floats his paper boats. He is conscious of the special tang he feels in playing in this mud and water. He is unable to know it is the "liveness" of waking nature ap- pealing to him, but he senses the mes- 1 sage and responds. ! The mother, too, if she be a lover' of nature, thrills to the same mes- sage brought by other couriers. How ' much more the child's half-conscious love â- wiH mean to him if she realizes that he shares her own appreciation and if she takes care to foster it until ' it becomes actual knowledge of na-i ture. One mother of my acquaintance realized the value of such timely i training. She purchased for her lit- tle daughter, a book that told thej story of the bean. It told of its de-: velopment from an insignificant pebble-like thing into a lovely tall vine with flowers which, in turn, pro- duce the bean that people use for food. The lima bear, â- was pictured as a! baby that grew and grew. The child' was interested, so the mother got! some lima beans, quite a while before it was time to plant them outdoors, and put them between a roll of good blotting paper, inserted in a drinking glass, and the wall of the glass. A small amount of water was poured into the glass which was then pot on the window sill in the sun. As the days went by the child could obser\'^ the tiny shoots coming from the seeds. First came the root, then the leaf shoot which unfolded and grew until little leaves began to show. These grew larger and larger and the shoot grew stronger and stronger until it overtopped the g!Rss. It was then time to put it in the ground. The mother showed the little girl how to plant it and together they planted other beans to gruw as the first had done. All the while these seeds 'wert de- veloping underground tho child knew what was happening and eagerly waited for the first tiny leaves to appear above the surface. She cared for the garden herself, watering it faithfully. Later in the summer she was rewarded with a very small crop of beans, for this was but a small garden in a yard at the back of a city house. But how much she had learned, and what a joy it had been I Feeding Poor Hay. â- While the general fanner finds economy in feeding his lower grades of roughage, so the fact should not be overlooked that such feeds do not have the full nutritive value that number one roughages have. Other- wise, there would be no difference in the market price of these different grades of feeds. The value of the \~arious farm feeds can be roughly gauged by the condition of the ani- mals to which they are fed. Watching closely his stock, the feeder can Icxiow quite accurately whether he is treat- ing the animals to the quantity of roughage they should have. Keep the Sheep Dry. A practical sheep man advises that farmers owning flocks pay especial at- tention to the ewes in the period pre- ceding the lambing season. Dry beds are important The â- wind and rain should be kept out of the quarters in which the ewes are housed. Anothar essential is exercise. To provide for this, the eyes should be allowed ac- cess to the barnyard or field. Oats and bran, equal parts, make an ex* cellent feed for the ewes at this sea- son, while legume hays, particularly alfalfa, make first grade roughago feed. all sorts of lies, and that truthfulness as a principle and as a policy is un-jhim precious works of art. and he known to multitudes of people.
