Grumblings aro now heard that, al
though four months have passed, Eng

Reports of France Discredited.
Statements that Franco has been

often that thoy no longer attract tho
slightest credence The entry of tho

nnd tho rupture of relations between
Germany mid tho bulk of the neutral
world outside Europe are now taken
seriously and regarded with gloom.
Questions havo been recently asked

vividly than nnythlng she bad rend or
heard said.
The military spirit Is strong In this
now band of fighters for France. A
siUuto and permission Is asked from
tho lieutenant to go nnd buy ciga
rettes at tho shop, 20 yards away, al
though the camlonH were nil now
jfcirked in nn Irreproachable lino and a
halt was being taken. At n previous
halt, when the ollleer of tho day wns
deciding which road he should tnke,
mid every driver had got down for n
few minutes, great was tho discussion
whether a cigarette could be smoked,
the "antls" holding that they were on

Military Etlquetto Observed.
The captain of tho center, who wns
conducting tho New York Hun's corre

work, passed by tho drivers several
times, and this brought up tho question
whether ho should bo saluted every
time or treated as being on duty with
them, when the first salute at meeting
would HUlIlCC.
Hut there was n deeper question that
each was eager to discuss. Were they

Ibo French army nnd trench warfare,
and given them already n valuable
training. They wonder whether they
aro using this training to the best ad

AMONG GERMANS
time limit for bringing Great Britain
Into a frame of mind to discuss peaco.
In tho correspondent's last Informal
conversation with Dr. Alfred Zlmmcr
maim, head of the foreign olllco, a f ow
hours before nows of tho rupturo of
relations with tho United States was
received In IJerlln, tho minister, who
was on tentorhooks to know what tho
United States would do, dcclnrod Im
pulsively :
"If tho United States will only keep
hands off and let us alone, two or
three months will be enough."
Then, noticing tho correspondent
prick up his ears at tho foreign olllco
uso of the stock phruso of tho ruth
lessiuvs advocates, ho quickly amend
od lils estimate.
"Say six months," ho said, and then
reading a further query' In tho corre
spondent's eyes, added:
"Well, let us not fix .any definite
tlmo."
Doctor Ztmmermnnn then went on
with the argument that England and
Uio entente iulckly would bo mndo
amenable to tho peaco Iden If the
United States would -only refrain from
breaking relations or declaring war la
consequence of tho proclamation of
tho unrestricted submarine campaign.
German naval writers for some time
have been preparing their readers for
a posslblo falling off In the monthly
figures of tonnage destroyed by sub
marines. Many of them furnish tho
advance explanation that. If It hap
pens. It will be due largely to tho ab
sence of vessels to torpedo, or, In somu
articles, to tho results of British meth
ods. No mention of any Increase In
losses of submarines Is made.

BEST OF VEGETABLES i
Corn, Tomatoes and Eggplant Are
Favored for Table.
Successive Plantings of Sweet Corn
May Be Made Tomato and Egg
plant Are 8tarted and Handled
In About Same Way.
Three of tho most popular vegetables
for the fnmlly table nro nweet corn,
tomatoes and eggplant.
Sweet corn, to bo at Its best, should
be eaten within u few hours nfter It Is
picked, for Its sugnr content dlsnp
jwars very rapidly nfter It Is removed
from the gnrden. For thlsTcnson and
because of Its very general popularity,
It Is an excellent 'vegetnble to grow
In the homo gnrdep. It should be
planted on rich land nnd cultivated
In the snm'e manner as field corn. He
ginning as soon as the soil Is worm,
successive plantings may bo made
every two or three weeks until lato
summer. Another method of pro
longing tho supply Is to plant early,
medium and Into varieties.
Another fuvorlto vegetable Is tho
tomato, which now forms one of the
most Important of our 'garden crops.
In the North, It Is very desirable to
start tho plants In n house w n hot
bed, nnd to transplant them once or
twice In order to secure strong nnd
vigorous plants by the time nil dan
ger from frost Is past. Pot-grown
Eggplant lo Popular.
plants nro especially dcslrnblo and
they may bo brought to tho blooming
period by tho time It Is warm enough
to plant them with safety In tho gar
den. If tho plants nro not to be
trained, but allowed to He on the
ground, they should bo set about four
feet apart each way. If trimmed and
tied to stakes they may bo planted In
rows three feet apart and 18 inches
npnrt in tho row.
Eggplant is started nnd hnndled In
tho same way ns tlio tomato. It Is,
perhaps, less widely known, but is
rapidly becoming a popular vegetable.
Tho fioll best adapted for its produc
tion is a fine, rich sandy lonm, well
drained. Tho plnnts should be set In
rows three feet npnrt, and two feet
npnrt in tho row. Free cultivation is
desirable nnd tho plnnts should bo
kept growing rapidly. On the other
hand, mnny growers believe that
fresh stable manure should not bo
used for eggplants, and that the land
should not contain unfermcntcd veg
ctablo matter to any large extent. A
dozen good, healthy plnnts should sup
ply enough for the avcrngc-slzed fam
ily throughout the season.
REDUCTION IN LIVING COSTS
Garden Is Quickest and Best Means of
Lessening Expenses and Relieves
Food Shortage.
The garden is tho quickest nnd best
monns of reducing tho cost of living.
Present food prices can best be re
duced by growing n now supply of
food. It will tnke several months to
produce a surplus of ninny food prod
ucts .such ns meat, potntoes nnd flour.
Furthermore, the effect of this surplus
on tho prlco which tho consumer lins
to pay Is doubtful.
By plnntlng n gnrden tho consumer
enn relievo tho food shortage directly
in n few weeks. He can substitute his
fresh garden vegetables for canned
products and for mnny of the ldgh
priced staples.
BIG MISTAKE WITH HARNESS
Poor Practice to Hang It Over or Near
Manure Ammonia Destroys
Life of Leather.
A mistake that Is often mndo is that
of hanging harness over or near ma
nure. The mnmonln rising from the
manure sooner or Inter destroys tho
life of tho leather. Sometimes, too,
harness not used in the winter Is
thrown into n corner, perhaps on tlio
ground, and left there until spring. No
manufacturer enn turn out leather
goods nnd stitchlug that will stnnd
such neglect. If harness is cleaned
and oiled at no other time, It should
at least be so treated in the fall, then
hung in n dry place when not in use.
IMMENSE DEMAND FOR FOOD
World' Needs and Possible Profits
Should Stimulate Farmers to
Their Best Efforts.
Thero appears to bo n world-wide
demand for foodstuffs. Prices for all
staple crops are high and promlso to
contlnuo ubove the average level for a
year or more. The promlso of profits
from growing farm products was never
stronger than nt present.
Tho world's needs nnd the possible
profits, together, should stimulate
farmers to their best effort In produc
tion. No chnnccs that can be avoided
should be taken on securing good
crops.
SALSIFY ,N FAM,LY GARDENS:
Rapidly Becoming One of Most Popu
lar Root Crops Fairly Rich
Loam Soils Are Best.
Salsify Is rapidly becoming one of
the most popular root crdps grown in
the home garden. Its high food value,
Its ready response to cultural methods,
and the ease with wlilch the crop may
be stored for winter nnd spring use
tinss nlslfy nmong the lending gnr
den vegetables.
Well prepared, fairly rich loam
soils are most favorable to the growth
of the crop. While clay soils will pro
duce a fair yield, the roots will be
more branched nnd of n poorer nmd
lty. Seeds nro planted in rows 15 to
24 inches apart, with 10 to 1G seeds
per foot of row, as soon as the soil
can bo worked nicely. Depth of plnnt
lng ranges from thrce-qunrtcrs to ono
and one-quarter inches. Cultivation
throughout the summer Is similar to
that of carrots and other root crops.
Of the sevcrnl vnrletles of salsify
offered for snlo by seed firms, Mnm
moth Sandwich Island Is doubtless the
best. When well grown, roots of this
variety are long, straight, smooth und
one nnd one-half to two inches In dia
meter nt the top.
Tho crop, which mntures about Oc
tober 1, may bo used from the garden
during fnll and winter. Jinny garden
ers, however, are finding It on ndvnn
tngo to lift nnd store the crop In the
cellnr In order thnt It mny be hnd for
uso nt times when the ground is
frozen. For storing, roots are placed
In a box or piled in n heap on the floor
of n cool cellar room nnd covered with
fnlrly dry soil or sand.
TO REGULATE THE WINDMILL
Plan Outlined to Aid Farmer In Hav
ing Cistern Full of Water When
the Wind Is Blowing.
Itegulntlng the windmill nnd water
supply on the farm Is nn lmportnnt
mnttcr. The following plnn works
well nnd is worth mnny times Its cost,
ns with 4t one enn depend on having n
cistern full of vvnter when the wind
blows.
Tho cistern mny be nt any elevation
or distnnce from the well nnd nny kind
of force pump mny be used. It is
mnde ns follows: In the center of the
cistern on nn up-turned nipple, n com
mon flrfnt vnlve Is used, through which
the water enters the cistern. On the
end of the pipe a horizontal check
vnlve is used through which the els
tern is drained. In tho well, next to
tho pump, a T nnd cut-out vnlve Is
Regulating Windmill.
used, which is ndjusted to the wntei
pressure. Under this on a heavy
wire, attached to tho lever, n five-gallon
pall or keg Is hung.
When the cistern is full the float
vnlve closes nnd the increased pros
sure opens tho cut-out vnlve, and fills
tho pall, and its weight shuts the mill
off. A small leak drains the pall in n
short time nnd allows the mill to turn
on again.
SWEETENING FOR ACID SOILS
Ground Limestone Is Usually Cheapest
and Most Satisfactory Screen
ings Can Be Used:
To sweeten nn ncld soil, n sufficient
nmount of finely grouud limestone or
slnked lime must be scnttered evenly
over the plowed ground nnd worked
Into tho top soil. Ground Utccsccne
is usually the cheapest and most satis
factory in general, though it tnkes ef
fect more slowly than quicklime,
flaked lime or hydrnted lime, and a
lnrger quantity must be applied to get
the same results. The screenings from
nn ordinary rock crusher can be used.
Coarser material has little Immediate
effect on tho soil, but if n much Jnrger
quantity of the coarse mnterlnl Is used
It will keep tho soil sweet for n longer
time. Screenings enn bo obtained at
from 25 cents to $1 n ton. In some
cases where hnullug from the railroad
is expensive nnd whero limestone Is ac
cessible, small grinders can he used to
grind the limestone on the farm.

HATCH GEESE IN INCUBATOR
noubtful Whether They Would Do
Well In Brooders, Therefore It Ic
Not Often Tried.
Goose eggs enn bo successfully
hntched in incubators, but it is not n;
common practice, becnuse It is doubt
ful whether they would do well raised
In brooders.
Either geese or hens nro commonly
used for hntchlng nnd renrlng pur
poses. If the eggs nre hntched by;
hens or lncubntors, it would be nd-,
visnble to add moisture to the eggs,
during tho first week by sprinkling,
the eggs or nests with wnrm wnter.;
From four to six eggs nro usually;
placed under n hen, nnd from ten to
thirteen eggs under n goose.
If hntched by hens, the hen should
be kept confined, nnd goslings not nl
lowcd to go Into the wnter, especlnlly
if tho wnter is cold. To bo assured
of success in raising goslings, they
should not be hntched until tho grass
pnsturo Is fnlrly good, ns grass It
their chief diet.
In addition to thnt they should bo
fed nny of the mashes recommended
for chickens or goslings. Special enre
should be tnken in seeing thnt nil of
tho feed Is clenned up nt each mt'nl,
ns leftover food Is very often n source
of disease.

WAYS FOR AIRING INCUBATOR
Best Hatches Are Often the Result of
Cooling, Especially During Warm
Summer Weather.
Ono may air the eggs In an incuba
tor in two wnys. One method is to
nir some every dny nt the night turn
ing, or In tho morning, should the
temperature be found a trifle high,
nnd tho other wny Is to turn the eggs
slowly to lnhnle fresh nir nnd to con
fine tho real cooling to one or two
periods when eggs hnvo been incu

down until the shells aro actually cold.
The best hatches nre often tho result
of such cooling, especlnlly in wnrm.

The Maine station fed the following
mash to laying hens with good re
suits: Wheat bran two pnrts by weight,
cornraenl one, middlings one, gluten
