In:the first place I have a splendid place for a gar- den.

STORING MANURE FOR GARDEN =By LIMA R. ROSE. A common practice is to manure the garden every year, late in the fall or before planting in the spring, no tu‘zu' ther attention being given. This prac- tice, however, is not the best. ‘ The manure for the garden ehauld, be kept in a large box with a lid or so screened that flies cannot enter it. Manure heaps are the natural breeding places of these pests and if they are allowed to remain near the house un: covered will prove a great nuisance. A good plan is to use a very close wire screen nalled to a frame with hinges for the top. The manure should be spaded often on the top so that the water from the clouds or the sprinkling pot may penetrate to all portions of it, : If kept in a-box a spout should be placed in one corner, at the bottom, so that the water may drain into a sun« ken barrel. This will supply liqguid manure, which can be used at all seasons 'when vegetables and flowers are growing. .

Jim-Buckley Finally Proved Truth ef Saying That He Was Fond i of Repeating. “Thar ain't nothin’ in the world but s good fer somethin’” Is one of the favorite sayings of Jim Buckley of Bear Lake, Buckley is a thrifty soul. He farms in summer and traps in winter and be- tween wheat and furs he is growing rich. One morning his wife was cook- ing breakfast, She broke a rotten egg into a skillet and was starting toward the door to throw It away when Buck- ley stopped her. “Woman, don't throw that egg awayy’ sald Buckley. “But it's rotten,” protested his wife, “Makes no difference,” declared the philsopher, “Thar ain’t nothin’ in the ‘world but—" ; ; “James Buckley,” 'exclaimed nls wife, “I've heard that a thousard times.” The wolf never sniffs at the doors of the prosperous farmers of the Peace river country. But foxes are different animals—here is something you don't know-—Totten eggs are rated as an epl- cureau tidbit in vulpine menus. _ That night Buckley set a trap In & poplar grove near his home and baited it with the rotten egg. He hoped to catch a red fox or perhaps a coyote. But when he went out to his trap next morning, what do you think he found? The biggest silver fox Buckley ever had clapped eyes on. He sold the pelt in Peace River the other day for $346. “A right nice lot o' money to hatch from a rotten egg,” remarked Buckley, as he stuffed the money in his pocket, “I've allers allowed that thar aint nothin® in the world but 1s good fer somethin’."—Chicago Post. ONE GOOD THING FROM WAR :fl:e Cocone Nut, Hitherto Considered Only as Nuisance, Has Been Made Artl- cle of Gommerce. Before the war the cocone, which grows freely in the. Southern Ameri- cas, on large trees of the palm fam- ily, was literally’ such a hard nut to crack that its vegetable oil had no place in commerce, and the tree was known chiefly as a botherttion to banana planters when they wished to enlarge their plantations. Kighteen hundred pounds’ pressure is required to crack the cocone nut, and there was no machinery for doing it. Then gov- ernment experts sald that nothing else in the world would provide such good carbon for gas masks as the cocone nut, and the United States financed the creation of machinery for crack- ing it, thus starting a new and Im- portant industry. Hereafter it will, be well worth while breaking the shells ‘for the vegetable oll inside them, val- uaBle for cooking, lighting, and the making of nut butter; and the shells, _happily_no logger needed for masks, ‘can be used as fuel or in the manufa® ture of gas. And so, out of an effort to prevent the expansion of autocracy by conquest; the Southern Americas find - opportunity to expand by com- merce~—Scientific American. Roberts Predicted Foch's Victory. When Lord Roberts was in Canada ten years ago.at the dedication of the Plains of Abraham park and play- ground he made this prediction: “They refuse. to believe me, and we are asleep under a false security, for I do not hesitate to affirm that we will have a frightful war in Europe, and ‘that Great Britain and France will have the hardest:experience of their existence. They will, in fact, see de- feat very near, but the war will finally be won by the genius of a French gen- eral named Ferdinand Foch, prdfessor in the military school in Paris.” Little Rivers Important. In his war ode Dr. van Dyke re- mains ‘loyal to “little rivers.” In his book, “Little Rivers,” he has already made little rivers as Interesting as the little drops of water that make the mighty ocean.

Modeled, after the famous Swedish plant-breeding station at Svalof, ite scientific specialists will work to pro- duce pure cultures of the new varie des into extensive cultivation.
