GARDENING IN .TOWNS "THE CULTIVATION OF VACANT tOTS AND WASTE LAND. rrvvida PrtbU Work Par tfca Vacmplorod Helps JlMattiy th Town Maw tho Flaa Baa . eede4 la Fallaaolpkla. The Cultivation of Vacant XoU" vis the title of a lecture delivered In 1Vahlnj1on recently by B. O. Powell, . auperlntendent of the Philadelphia Va cant Lots association. Mr. Powell said 'that flower gardening and the growing of vegetables by children and older persons, tius utilising waste and va cant city land, bare become one of the most bopeful movement looking to ward eoclal betterment and uplift, anys the Washington Star. lie said ' that last year In Philadelphia 700 fainllles, working on 188 acres of vacant lots, raised f 30,000 worth of vegetables, and that Detroit, Toledo and other cities and towns have undertaken similar schemes, conceded to be of the greatest advantage from an Industrial as well as an educational point of view. Mr. Powell's scheme Is to obtain the use of every vacant lot In the city and make farmer and gardeners out of the City's poor, A little pamphlet which he distributed recently beara the) sig nificant caption, 'Belf Help For Those Who Can't Work In I'snal Business." II believes the project a boon to old men and women who have outlived their usefulness In their respective trades or industrial callings and for Invalids and cripples who but for the gardens would be dependent upon the city's charity. ' The scheme might be adopted by towns an tillage and 1 a splendid way to beautify them. "The small beginning twule wren years ago In Philadelphia in the culti vation of vacant lot gardens as a means of aiding the unemployed," said Mr. Powell, "has passed beyond the fad or experimental stage, - It ha be- come quit an Important factor la1 that treat city "life, especially Important to the more than 8,000 families whose members have sought , and obtained employment .through Its good offices. The belief that It U better to show men how and where they can find pleasant -and profitable employment and If necessary properly direct their energies while engaged therein than It Is to give alms, even through per fectly conducted channels, ha become so thorouffb.lv established as to reoulre ' sma lemimant In ttm fvA "The vacant lot gardening baa al ready become a moat Important branch of the public schools in many sections of this country The last annual gath ering of the American Park and Out door association devoted one full ses sion to the .discussion of school gar dens and their importance a part of our Industrial school work, Mr. D. J. Crosby, In charge of experiment -stations, department of agriculture, says that school gardens do for the children out of doors what the chemical -laboratory, the carpenter shop and the kitchen laboratory do Indoors, "The incalculable benefits of fresh air and moderate exercise to the physic al health of every on are well known. . IA ImmAHutv imnnrtanr It mult ItA to shop and mill workers! How ele vating to the moral health, which de pends ao much upon physical eorull. tlons, BO one can tell. But sure It Is that men have come to work these gardens In the spring who had become poor, partly or wholly through drink, and by the end of the season hav left us so ber and industrious cltlxens. "What made this great tbange? In stead of hanging around they hav bad pleasant and -profitable employment wherein they war their own bosses. Parents bring little one along to help weed and pick vegetable. Through this healthf nines of the work,-which : Is In no ense toll, the pale, ihollow cheeked little one become ruddy, bright eyed, laughing; Joys, filled with vigor and happiness before the i season is over. The country week becomes a summer outing,' while the - play- , ground becomes also a workshop. ' To compare this natural relief with other ways of helping the unemployed may be rather odious to those employed in ' the other ways, especially to dry gov ernment that are (pending millions of poor funds every year, while poverty and squalor are growing deeper and wider every day. For each dollar con tributed to vacant lot cultivation In 1003 the beneflelarlea for whom It was spent bad, by adding to It their own la bor, which otherwise -would have been forever wasted, fully $8 worth of prod uce. For each dollar paid In poor rate to a city the beneficiaries seldom got over 60 cents of actual aid. This is of vast importance to taxpayers and city official charged with munici pal responsibilities. , "Some may be rather skeptical a to the statements made, especially In re gard to the large returns for the small expenditures, but you should -consider that our market 1 next door to the garden and that the gardener doe bis own marketing. His produce Is freah end of the highest quality, and be get the highest retail price. He get his fertilisers for next to nothing, as there are thousands of tons of good manure and street sweepings annually thrown Into the city dumps which can be had merely for the asking. "To landowners we say, 'Lend ot your Idle land, ubject to Immediate dtapossession, and we will offer ample elf help to all who can't work In usu al employment' We will make of It something even better than a park or playground for the poor, or rather we ' will chow them how to make not only parka and playgrounds for themselves, but productive gardens s well, out of What la now only Idle ground and In many eases rubbish heap overgrown with noxious weeds and vines. We will help to make the town beautiful while making thls Ml land and thee Wle people useful," When yon get a catalogue from a bijt mail order limine just look it over and and see what they will pay you tor your produce; also investgate and see what terms of credit they extend to you in case ycu do not have the ready cash ; see how the much they will give toward keeping up the road, streets, sidewalks ami schools; just write and ask them how much they will give towad the erec tion ol a new church; bow much they will give toward the erection of a ne church; bow much they will give to twist the poor. After vou hav dune this and received a reply see if your home merchant doesn't Jo much "bet ter by you. Arlingfon Record. THB SARDY FAHM. A friend writes us that lust winter be was persuaded to buy a small farm, when -the ground was cm ore 1 with anew, on the representation of the owner that It was good piece of land. When the snow went off he made the discovery that Instead of being good oil It was sandy and almost worthies for cultivation. The funny thing wis that he was Inclined to take the seller's word as to the quality of the soil be cause the man, hi wife and twelve children bad made a living on the farm for three year previously. Our friend wants to know what to do with this poor soil. We have before said that a ' sandy farm was by all odds the hardest! sort of a farm proposition to handle. The wet farm can be drained, the stump and ctony farm can be cleared, the, flff clay farm can be rendered pro-j duefdve by clover, manure and pasture, i In Wisconsin the owner of sandy farms are meeting with some success by , growing clover, rye and potatoes. By, a clover rotation every fifth year suffi cient humus and fertility are worked into the sand so that It will grow a good crop of potatoes once In five years. We know of nothing better than clover, or possibly alfalfa, to use to get such soils Into a productive shape. WILLOW AHO SWAMPS. 1 We came across lately what we knew thirty year ago as a muskeg swamp of four acres, an undralnable and ut terly worthless and unproductive plot of land upon an otherwise good farm. The owner,, finding be could not drain the swamp for luck of outlet, did a novel thing. He waded In and stuck cuttings of the common white willow all over it this probably about twenty years ago. As we saw the old swamp the other day the water stood three feet 'deep all among as fine a grove of thrifty willows as we ever sow, trees forty feet high and almost a ' foot through. The old bog, so worthless, had been .converted Into a very valua ble timber tract which would furnish at least sixty cords of wood to the acre Bnd when cut off would imme diately proceed to renew Itself. This Is a novel type of forestry, but none the less valuable for all that. Thou sands of farms all over the west offer the chance for experiments as above Indicated. CATALPA FOR POSTS. We have two or three inquiries as to the value of the cntulpa as a tree to be planted for post timber. Where It will do well it Is one of the most valuable of trees for this purpose. It combines a rnpld growth with great durability when used for this pur pose. A tree planted fifteen years ago by a near neighbor on his lawn meas ures ton Inches through at the butt nud will furnish two post cuts or a total of at least six first class posts. North of latitude 40 there is some dllflculty in getting the tree well start ed owing to the extreme cold of the vlnters killing the new growth back. but after the tree gets six yeurs old It I becomes hurdler and from that time ou I seems to be as hardy as a bur oak. It likes best a rich and moist soil, and there are hundreds of thousands of waste acres all over the country which could not be put to a better use than to plant them with catalpa trees. . TRAMP! AND STARVATION. A friend is disponed to criticise our starvation remedy for the tramp nui sance as un-Chrlstlnn. Desperate dis eases demand heroic treatment. The money changers were scourged out of the temple, not coaxed or invited; the eribes and lawyers were nnuthema tised, not pleaded with; Ananias was truck dead for lying. The average tramp is In no sense the product of un healthy economic conditions, but Just a parasite who will live on the labor of other Just so long as they will let him Just hungry because he is losy, Just laiy because he hates to work, Just unclean and repulsive because, with human Intelligence degraded, he lacks an animal Instinct to take it place. LIGHTNING LOSSES. The season for lightning losses Is at band. A large share of the losses which the farmers' mutual Insurance companies are called upon to pay I caused by loss of stock by lightning. This results from the almost universal use of wire fencing for the pastures and the failure to properly ground the wires, the wire on the fence being able to carry a current heavy enough to kill stock a half mile from the point of discharge, A crowbar, some short pieces of wire, and a man can protect any ordinary pasture in half a day. A piece of wire attached to the fence wire put In th ground to a depth of three feet will do the work If placed very thirty or forty rods nlong the fenee. WHY WAS THIS THCSt In a Minnesota town two men were running for an Important local office last fall, one young lawyer who was a typical son of the- soil, having been raised on a farm, had no bad habits, was almost an Ideal young man and was an enterprising and public spirited fellow, who paid out lots of money to the laboring element of the community. Ills opponent was a blacksmith, whose earnings went largely to the saloon keeper, wljo . never spent a cent for the town end paid no taxes. When the vote was counted the blicksmlth had .00 per cent of the votes. The explana tion of this Is that the American people In matters of this sort are quite often natural born fools. The walnut limt-iita1 iMu.i,ti, ni California have appropriated $3,000 for un, una ui w-ivuiiHiH hi me agricultural department of the University of Cali fornia, with which to combat the wal nut kliifht.

HELP BEAUTIFY TOWN. Thm School Children of Clevelaasl TavMTht Home Ctardeaina-. The plat, of enlisting the aid of school cuildrti in beautifying a town has met with t.-reat success in Cleve land: Every spring the woman' aux iliary of the Mam. 'aeturers associa tion of that city takes vo the work, and the pupils of the publu' schools are taught bow to beautify their yard and residences with flowers, v'nes, etc, The "home gardening" project ha teen enthusiastically taken up ahMn this year In Cleveland. The auxiliary has added a large variety of seed to Its list, as the prospect - are favorable for a much larger sale than that of last year. Sixty-two thousand package of seeds of the common varieties of flow ers were distributed last year. It Is expected that 100,000 package will be given out this spring to the school chil dren. The packages are sold to the children for a cent each, a cost at which any child In the city can secure a bundle of seeds that will beautify some barren spot Suggestions are given weekly to the children on seed planting, and among these published recently were the fol lowing: ' The auxiliary -has perennials among Its seeds this season. These will not bloom this year, but their deep, vtrong roots take firm hold In the soil and will blossom next summer and thereafter for years. They are of easy culture and once established thrive with al most no care. The planting of peren nials, however, will be considered later. Sweet peas should be the first plant ed. The first essential Is a rich, -mellow soil In a sunny place. The ground should be turned over and over to break up the clods and to allow the sun to penetrate the surface of the loam. This should be done a week or more before time to sow seed. The seed should be dropped in a trench five Inches Seep and an inch or two of mel low earth sprinkled over them. , As the sprouts appear more dirt should be added until the trench Is filled and the plants are several inches high. Then the tendrils should be started up a support of strings or brush. Brush is often preferable. When the flowers are In bloom they make a beautiful screen for an old fence or a pretty background for low growing plants. Sweet pens are exceedingly desirable flowers for tablo or other decoration. They bloom profusely, end they may be used lavishly every day for two or three month, only ell the blooms must be cut off every one for If seed pods are allowed to form the vines stop blos soming at once. FLOWERS IN WASTE PLACES. Unattractive Kpolt Mod Baaatlfal b PlantlB a aelav Vou can grow flowers anywhere If you only know the proper kind for each location, says Country Life In America. There Is no portion of the earth's surface that cannot be covered with some kind of plant growth, not a situation so desperate that It could not be redoemed with the life and cheer and color that flowers give. Vou have only to select the right va rlety of. seed, and you will find that there is no clay too tough, no sand too hot and dry, no rocks too devoid of soil, no winter too severe. If you have a swamp end are afraid of II. you can transform it Into a wain- lily pond or a bog garden. If you own a bit of woods, you can fill It with wild flowers. I i the heart of the biggest city a ten Inch hole can be rundo In the pave ment, as they do In Boston, to cover the wall of the house with vlues. The slums have their window boxes, and houseleeks grow upon the shin gles of a roof. . Even the dump heap that you pass daily need not be an eyesore. Put a package of sunflower, poppy or morning glory seed In your pocket and scatter the seed over the offending spot, and of all the people who enjoy the transformation you will enjoy It most. Aa Knteriirlslno; Minister. The beginning of a boom In a Michi gan town started in the pulpit of . one of the churches Instead of among the business men. The minister preached a sermon on bad sidewalks, mudholes, poor sewerage and tumbledown build ings, and the schoolteachers and schol ars of the public schools took it up and Improved things 100 per ceut within a year. When a local minister has post ed himself on the needs of his town, he is in as good position to bring them to public attention as the editor of a week ly paper. In some of the eastern cities the school children play an important part in keeping the walks clear of what careless cltlxens throw away. Booming Laeal Jrads. In a Washington town a league ha been formed whose members pledge themselves to give preference always to article manufactured In the town or produced In the state and to labor to bring others to, their principles. The members are working In the matter with an astonishing vigor and have succeeded In booming local trade to notable extent One feature of the cru sade Is badge worn by members of the Home Industry league, and anoth er Is the printing of a list of bom manufactured articles, 'which Is sup plied to every household In the town. A City of Rom, Augusta, Oa., Is literally a city ot roses In summer, no city of the coun try being able to boast a greater wealth of blossoms. A local paper propose to make the effect still more striking by devoting all the space between the houses and streets to th cultivator of rosea. Swine Feeding. Bulletin No. 80 of Oregon Experiment station at Corvalli by James Withy combe is a verv interesting one. The title i "Some Uemilu in Feeding Swine" or Withycomhe. gives the result of tU in feeding swine exclusively on apples. Three shoats about eight months ofrl were eonnnad ift a pen with small open vard and fed all the apples they would commute. They were weighed October tland weighed 408 pounds; October 20 they were again weighed and tip-d the beam at a gain of 88 IMinmls. In the 14 days he fed 897 pound of apple. The' test was con tinued 15 days loiter and NovenitiJ 4th the; were again weighed and registered only 443), a loss of three pounds. The nogs were not previously prepared for the test and the 'gain during the first period the doctor says, was due to a fill op on the apples, or the effect of pre vious feeding. The fact that the pigs lost three pounds during the second period seems to indicate that the apples would not do even aa a maintenance feed. The doctor thinks, however, that they can be -profitably fed with' some nitrogenous food, and that if pigs eould I given an alfalfa or clover range and be permitted to- pick up fallen apples it would give good results. Another interesting test was that of feeding nine pigs through three periods of 14 aysettchon wheat, barley and boiled potitoea and barley. It was found that 100 pounds of barley was equal to 80.23 pounds of wheat and 100 pounds of cooked potatoes had a food value, equal to but 27.10 pounds of wheat or 81.43 pounds of barley. Doctor Withyeombe says in conclusion: "In six feeding experiments with an aggregate of 28 hogs of mixed breeding and various ages, the results show that it took 4 48 pounds of wheat to produce one pound gain in live weight. The results sIho show that for the first half of the fatten ing period it required but 3.81 rounds of wheat to produce one pound gain, while in the last half it took S 12poyndH of wheat to produce one pound of gain ; or, in other words, it required 34 per cent more wheat to produce one pound gain in live weight in the last half of th(eeiinu .experiment than, it did in u a-... u..u t...i:.....: .1... mo uiBtiiHii. iflUB iuuitmiuig uiai. 111c heavily larded hog resultant from a long period of feeding it much more costly to produce than the block hog or the bacon type. , In these experiments wheat seems to have given the best results as a fattening food. Results also indicate that a bushel of Wheat orooerlv fed to reasonably well bred hogs, should irouuce approximately laft puunus oi live pork." There is much interesting and instructive matter contained in' the bulletin and every uiit raiser in the valley should have one for reference. They will be sent free to anyone resid ing in Oregon by addressing James vvitnycomne, uorvullis. Bulletin 77 of the Oregon Experiment station contains some valuable informa tion regarding onion culture by Profes sor Ueorge Coote, florist at the station. Jiulletio 79 on riant food and use of chemibt, is a very valuable bulletin and should be in the bands of every fruit and vegetable grower in the valley. These bulletins are now ready for distribution. Yalneof Our Fisheries. The United States fish commissioner in his annual report says that the salmon industry of the Pacific in 1902 readied larger proportions than ever before and became the leading branch of tiie United State fisheries, if the value ol the product as prepared for market is considered. The pack of canned salmon was more than 3,600,000 caees of 4H one-pound cans, and in addition upward . of 42,000,000 pounds of fresh, smoked and salted salmon were marketed. The pack of canned salmon in Alaska was over 2,600,000 cases, an increase of half a million cases over 1901. In the Puget Hound region the snpply of hsh was much smaller than in the previous year, but the seas on was considered successful owing to the good prices received. Hie fall run of suhnun in the Columbia river was remarkably large, and for a period of three weeks the canneries were unable to handle the catch. At some o. the seine fisheries 20 tons of chinook salmon were sometimes taken in one day, and the gill-net fishermen hud no dilliculty in loading their boats iu a night, l-'rom a carelul computation made by the commission it appears that in 1902 the wonderful Pacific salmon fisheries yielded about 280,000,000 pounds of round Dsn, whose nrst value, as placed on the market was f I8,ttuu,uuu, . . Beautifying the Home Farm. Orange Judd Farmer. This is a matter which receives little consideration on the average farm. With every possibility for making their homes the most beautiful, so far as immediate surroundings are concerned, farmers are apt to do little or nothing toward this end. The United States department of agriculture has issued a bulletin, .No 185, devoted to the subject of beautify ing the lir.me grounds. It is filled with timely , suggestions as to the use ol shrubs and flowers and also contains working plans for ,- laying , out the grounds about the home. It gives some valuable suggestions on the mainten ance of the greenaward. This bulletin can be obtained by writing the depart ment. True it is that the average farmer has little time for what he is inclined to call ''fussing" with flower beds and the like. Nevertheless et would pay him to find a little time to devote to this sub ject of pleasant home grounds. Almost every woman takes a keen delight in Uowors. Uften her flower beds are the only recrea'ion which the farmer's wile has. tooollen these are hidden at the back of the house. Comparatively sel dom are ornamental slirubs to be found on (he farm. These things riuhtlv combined can go far toward making the home attractive, not only to it in mates but to every one that passes. The labor involved will be compara tively insignificant when the results obtained are considered. Home is, or should be, the most beautiful place on earth. Why not avail yourself of nature's joyfully given co-operation in beautifying its immediate surroundings? Here is a subject to inter -lit every member of the household. Have a well kept lawn, no matter how small. The front yard is not needed for a hay crop. Plant'trees, shrubs and flowers. Beau tiful surroundings have an ethical value in influencing the home life. Don't Kill the Birds. ' Let us say it again. Don't kill the birds boys, or disturb their nests. They are the best friends you have among the living creatures. In tier many the sportsmen and boys killed the birds so completely at one time that it was dim cult to find a bird iu the country and as a consequence the insect pest be came so abundant that they almost ruined many of the crops. The go vern ment then established the mort strin gent protective measures in favor of the birds and now they are not so plen tiful anywhere as in the more favorable localities of Germany, and there is no country ii the world so free from inject pests. The restrictions against moles tation of birds and dird homes have not been relinquished, l-nt the birds are protected as in no other country. Let the little feathered friends be undis turbed. There is nothing nicer, neater, , prettier tkan a fat, happy little bird and they will become lame as our; chickens if fed and cared for and will repay the farmers and others a hundred fold for any kindness bestowed upon them, by their work in des.roviug injurious insects.
