War Garden Helps. ( For the benefit of amateur gar-, deners the department of agriculture and the extension division have | prepared a number of very helpful i bulletins. Among these are “Planting for Back Yajld Vegetable Garden,” "Home Gardeners,’’ “Planting Table,” "The Vegetable Garden,” "Spraying of Garden Crops,” “Hotbeds for Home Gardens,” “Helps for Gardening and Canning,” “The City Vegetable Garden and "Garden Fertilizers.” Many of these are for distribution ar the Better Farming association office. "We want to make this year the best ever in home garden produc-1 tion.“ says W. D. Bringle of the garden committee of the County Council of Defense. Forage Crops for Hogs. "Now is the time to plant rape I as a forage crop for hogs,” bays I, I F. Meader of the County Swine Production committee; 3 to 5 pounds per acre sown in drill rows now will produce plent}' of good teed by the middle of May to the first of June, It will grow out again after pasturing and should furnish pasture for three or four months." A number of farmers are seeding a pound or so of rape seed per acre in the oats to produce late summer pasture. The Self-Feeder for Hogs. The use of the self-feeder in hog production this summer will not only mean a great saving in time but will actually result in a saving of feed, according to the trials which have been carried on in all parts of the county. The acreage of all experiments shows that by using the self-feeder an increased daily gain of 28 per cent was obtained with an average saving of grain of 31 pounds for the production of 1&«> pounds of pork. Either one of these advantages make the selffeeder a profitable investment, and when the saving in labor is considered as well this method of feeding is a very economical proposition. A number of farmers of this eonnty will conduct trials this summer in this method of feeding. Cattle Breeders to Meet A number of Jasper county farmers plan to attend the annual spring meeting of the ndiana Cattle Feeders’ association at Lafayette April 13. At this meeting the seven lots of cattle fed at the experiment station will be valued and the results explained. One lot has received corn silage, cottonseed meal and elcfver hay—no corn at any time. Another lot has received corn the last few weeks only. The third lot has been receiving about six pounds of corn daily per steer.

The fourth lot has received considerable corn from the beginning to the end. In other lots the conipaiative value of straight corn silage and mixed corn and soybean silage can be studied. Charles P. Moody of Barkley is vice-president of the Indiana Cattle Feeders’ association. Farm Labor on Hand Word has been received from the state headquarters of the Boys’ Working reserve that six or eight young men will be sent to the Better Farming office on Saturday, March 30, ready to go to work on farms at once. “Most of these young men will be experienced in farm work. They will be from sixteen to twenty years of age, and all will be strong and willing,” states the director. Farmers desiring help for the season are invited to avail themselves Of this assistance. -If we can ( employ these boys immediately as ithey are sent to us our chances of obtaining them in numbers are ■ much better than if we neglect them. ’

BAR WAY TO EVIL SPIRITS

Malaysians Believe Mountains Were Placed to Shut Out Strange Race of Yajuj. In the dak bungalow at Kwala Kubu (in Malayasia) the Chinaloy chowkidar. queue in pocket, shod In shoes of silent felt, served my breakfast. I was at last on the threshold of a strange expedition in a land to which no letter ever-canie correctly addressed, so unknown was it to the outside world. At this moment the strangest thing in sight was my breakfast. It consisted chiefly of tins of tiny Mongolian finches —-humming birds in size, squabs in taste —eanned a dozen in a tin. As I devoured the pitiful little birds, and all, I looked up at the great Malay mountain range, the backbone of the finger peninsula which stretches southward from Siam to within sight of the bund of Singapore itself. Mountains, so the Malays say, are the wall of the world, shutting out great winds and beasts of prey. And they believe that a strange race —the Yajuj—are forever striving to bore through, and when they succeed, then will come the end of all things. The great limestone caves scattered throughout the mountains are places where the Yajuj have attempted and failed. There is nothing impossible or unbelievable in all this, when one comes to know Malay mountains in all their weirdness. —William Beebe, ip the Atlantic Monthly.

RUDE AWAKENING FOR GUEST

Visiting Parson Got the "Dusting" That Irate Father Intended to Bestow On Offspring. A story of how a parson got the dusting instead of a youth is related by a newspaper man of Wenatchee, Wash. “The boy in the plot was Oscar Woods,” he says. “It happened In Nebraska. In our home it was the custom for one of the boys to take his turn at starting the fire on cold mornings. It was 15 degrees below zero, and It was Oscar’s turn. He lit the fipe and then proceeded to the barn to feed the stock. But the fire went out “An hour later, perceiving that then

Earthquake Statistics.

It has been calculated that there occur about 30,000 earthquakes within a year, or 8,760 hours, hence, that there are on the average three and one-hall earthquakes in an hour. Fortunately, not all earthquakes are of a violent nature, like that of A. D. 526, that killed from 120,000 to 200,000 persons in the region of the Mediterranean, or that of 1693, to which 60,000 persons fell victims in Sicily, or of Lisbon in 1755. and those that devastated Chile, Peru and Japan. Of great frequency are the minor earthquakes. In fact, our so-called firin earth can be said to be in a state of perpetual agitation. Our senses do not perceive the slight disturbances, but the seismograph, a very delicate and ingenious apparatus devised to keep track of them, furnishes all the Information denied to us by our natural Insensibility. They often furnlsh us too much of it in the excess of their zeal, recording sometimes as seismic phenomena vibrations that later proved to have been due to the ringing of church bells.

Privileges of the Poor.

Will you show me any other people outside of the fairy books who can put the most fearful calamity on like a cloak and doff it at will, who can augment their families to seven or eight children overnight, and reduce them as readily to five or six on the following day if it but seem to them advisable? Where outside their ranks is there anyone capable of persuading you that it is a privilege to sleep cold so that some Darius you never saw or care to see shall, he had his allegorical mule, go better warmed? Who else, being neither of your kith nor kin, has such power over you that, with a mere bloodshot eye and shiver of the shoulders, they can turn your automobile, your furs, your w.armth and all your pleasant pleasures into Dead sea apples of discomfort? —Laura Spencer Porter, in the Atlantic Magazine.

Now They're Mollycoddles.

Dandies who are making their reappearance at the Royalty theater, were fast disappearing when Queen Victoria began her reign, says the London Times. Extravagance in dress and manners did not of course originate with them, but in earlier times there were other names for those who were noted for similar eccentricities. They were called beaux in the days of Queen Anne and the earlier Georges, “fops” and “sparks” being scornful synonyms. In the latter half of the eighteenth century these fashionable fops were known as macaronis, and the dandies may be said to have come in during the regency.

There was a record production of sulphuric acid in the United States last year, exceeding the previous year by at least 600,000 tons. One of the many explanations that have been offered to account for the fact that migrating birds are able to find their way by night and in cloudy or foggy weather is that they are sensible, in some way, to currents of terrestial magnetism, and therefore direct their flight by the magnetism meridians. This suggestion was put forth by M. A. Thauzies, a French pigeon fancier, who declares that carrier pigeons make poor flights during the occurence of magnetic storms. He also asserts that the general use of wireless telegraphy has diminished the reliability of the birds to a surprising extent.—Popular Science.
