In Your Garden ^mf Bv GORDON L. SMITH * School Teachers ARTICLE NO. 3. The main object of pruning, • whethur it be rose bushes, fruit • trees of flowering shrubs, is to open up the centre of the growth so that sunshine and air may penetrate • freely ami also, of course, to pro- . duce a symmetrical plant. Natural- ly any dead or weal; growth should " be removed and also branchcf that rub ai,'ain>t each other. V Early March until late in June, is « usually considereii the best time for this sort of work, but there are a few sppcific cx'-eptions. Most of • these uri; the early blooming; shrubs, . »Cch US the Korsyihia. Thfiso snuulf! be left until after bloominir- Giapos ' must be pruned early in March to • avoid excessive bleeding. Raspber- ries are pruned after the crop has produced and then all the year-old , canes should be removed, leavins only the new shoots. .MAKING A HOT-BED The best arrangement for start- ' ing seed iiidoori? is a hot-bed. though . where only a few plants of each variety are required a shallow box • in a sunny window will be suffici- ent. .\ frame-work about IS inches "higli, which contains two inches of FINEFORKIDNl:Y AND BLADDER WEAKNESS STOP (5ETTI.\G 11^ MUHTS LOOK A.VD FEEL YOl'-NOKR Keep yi;iir kidneys free from waste matter, poisons and acid, and put healthy activity into kidneys auJ bladder and you'll live a healthier, happier and longer life. One most efficient and harmless way to do ihis is lo get from your druggist a 40ceiit box of Gold Medal Haarlem Oil t'apsnles and lake thpm •s directedâ€" the swift lesutls v.il! surprise you. Besides ;<ettiiig up nights, some aympfoius of kidney trouble are back- ache, moist palms, Icj; cramps, and puJTy eyes.

Give your kid- neys a good cleaning once iu a while. fine garden soil on a layer of fresh, slightly strawy, horse manure or some other heat-producing material. In an open place and facing the south dig a pit of the same dimen- sions as the window-fiame and about a foot deep. Into this put the manure. (If frost prevents digging, simply pile on top of the ground). The layer of manure should be about 18 in;'hos thick when v.-ell pressed down. It is held in place by the sides of the pit and tlie frame. On top is placed two inelies of lipht garden soil, preferably mi.\cJ with a little sand. The window is fitted snu.'riy into place on to]) and should be about nine inches above the soil at the front and I.') inches at the back to allow rain to run off and also catch the full rays of the si;n. -At the first the soil will heat (juite rapiJIy. hut in about tLi<!e days, it will have cooled to around SO de- grees which is tlie proper teiiipi'ra- ture. Tlie seed i.s planted in lows about two inches apart, and the bed watei-- ed freouently. On warm liays it will be necessary to ventilate by raising the window frame an in.h or so. When the second set of leaves develop, thin. About three weeks before goins: out.side. the seedlings are transplanted to a cold frame, which is the same as a hot-bej only wiiV.out the heating manure. Here they are hardened thoroughly before beii'g set out in their permanent f.uarters. When stai ted in the hou'p the procedure is practically the same, only of course, no heating m.iterial is needed. Boxes about three inches deep are fillled with a mi.xtiire of sand and light .soil and placed in a bright window where, vucferably, there is a double glass to- Cicvent cold draughts at night. Dobbin Returning To Smaller Farms HEI.K.\A, .MO.VT., - Old Dobbinâ€" despite his appetite- is nuiniug ma chinery right off small farms in Mon- tana, W. J. Butler, state veterinarian said today. Farmers are finding it cheaper, he explains, to use work horses. "It is surprising," he said, "ibe number of good horses seen in i.os in western Montana, where farms run to the smaller sizes. The use of ma- chinery has paid on some large farm- ijig operations, but by and large, the horses have proven best.' A Carnegie report prompts the question of who are the competent teachers. The learned Dr. William S. Learned, in charge of the founda- tion's 10-year study, atks a question and hastens to answer that "school teachers are not well prepared. His observation is that many of the most perceptive minds dislike teaching and therefore will have no part in it. On the other hand, he says: â€" Those who will teach are the aver- age and below-average minds that lack knowledge and therefore insight into the genuine learning process; consequently they are glad to sub- mit themselves to the institutional machines which tell them what to do and relieve them of responsibility. But, contends the Detroit Free Press, there must be a middle ground between the pure academics pro- claimed by the learned doctor and the below-average mental level he denounces. Would elimination of a lower layer of educational strata be reflected in a correspondingly higher polish on the student body? Prob- ably not. .\ teacher may not be so hot as an academician, but a whizz at keep- ing a class of youns hyenas in lea.sh, and what is teaching but discijjiine, persuasion and a lot of patience, What's in the text l)oo!;s is second to tactful guidance. If that ii^n'l so v.-hy do we h.ave 30 many teachers who handle kid.^ better than their mothers'' These are the ones v.'ho get the bi^ red apples. â-  " A Timely Pub'icalicn The year !!)•?(> ir.a:!:ed m;:i-.y po- litical ciiange;; tu'oughout the world.

Only Best Hens Are Enrolled As Nazis Hens have been enrolled as Nazis by Hitler and wil lay more cgg.s for the fatherland. Only the best hens will receive approval of Rerlin. There are 56,000,000 German hens, but only the hens that lay '20 eggs a month will be regarded as true Nazis. The town hen is to be fed with kitchen scrap.s to keep up v.'.th the barnyard fowl. Rabbits, goats, bees and silk-worms are all to be brought into the drive for greater production. Bees will be encourag- ed by new clover crops to make an additional 17,000 tons of honey a year. The goat raik output will be raised to 1.5,000,000 pints a year. ''Marxism demands more wages, National Socialism, more production. The first means paper and the second prodcts." â€"Adolf Hitler.
