The ground of the model gardon was correctly prepared and* fertilized and ls planted to potatoes, cabbages, let tuce and onions; In fact, just the va riety of vegetables that the average householder would care to raise. The (operation of planting and tending the [garden has been observed by thou 'sands, and a large proportion of the j spectators will surely benefit by thia Kexaniple. In addition to explaining jthe art of back-yard farming, Mr. Mo ?Carthy gives little pamphlets to all who are Interested, with complete di? {rectums for starting a gardeu plot and {tending lt to produce results. This la. ?essential, for the Ignorance of the av* Perage city dweller regarding agricul ture is limitless. j The demonstration garden, a project Jof Park Commissioner Cabot Ward, la I an object lesson to the throngs of -commuters who pass lt daily.

For the first time in the history of this or any oilier country the sclenco of the breeding and preserving of game birds will be taught in one of Amer ica's great universities. This is made .possible by the passage of a bill In .tho New York legislature appropriat ing $15,000 for the purchase of a form 'in Tompkins county, New York, on Which it is provided experimental and .practical breeding of gamo may be carried on. It is further provided that the trustees of Cornell university shall ?accept, maintain and administer the 'farm and that It shall form a purt of (the New York State College of Agricul ture "for the purpose of conducting 'practical experiments in and giving In struction on the breeding of game." It ls specifically provided that the farm shall be ron In close co-operation With the state conservation commis sion and that Its surplus product shall annually bc placed at the disposal of the commission.

Washington has always been a city | of women. The census of 1910 showed the percentage of women in Washing- j ton to be larger than In any other city. There were then 01.8 men to very 100 1 women-according to tho census, which never explained what any 100 women would be doing with the one third man that was part of their quota, If things keep on the way they aro going, Washington will soon have two women to each man. Cabinet officers already have announced that in thc matter of employment, all other things ; being equal, Women should have tho precedence over men. The new move ment ls horn of prospective var neces sity; the men will be needed on tho tiring line and In mobilizing tho na tion's industries.

The Revoit The better to see over a grawin* pile of stove wood In Jo th a m Libby's Ford, Caleb Peaslee craned his neck. Fi um the farther side of the pile came the sound of an ax plied industriously, and then the perspiring head and shoulders of Mr. Libby come into view. Caleb grinned ns he watched. "Olttln' quite a pile o? lt manufac tured ahead, ain't you, Jotham?" he Inquired. Mr. Libby started nervously and let bis ax fall upon the block as he did so. He removed his hat-and puffed audi bly as he approached the fence where' Caleb stood. "I've got quite a pile, that's a fact," be admitted with a touch of pride. Then he colored a little and faced Caleb with a sheepish grin, "I ain't lottln' on lettln' my wife get out of Move wood again-not for one spell, anyway." Caleb composed himself to listen. "What've you been doin' now that Mis' Libby's had to train you for?" he' j demanded. "You fright's well own up ; if ye don't X shall ask her." Jotham reddened again. "I ought io, be ashamed," he began haltingly, "and I be ashamed. I don't want you to think I ain't. But there's so many things to do on a farm this time of year a man gets Into the way of doln*. fhe things that crowd him wust; you know how 'tis yourself." * Mr. Peaslee agreed heartily. "Well," resumed Jotham, visibly en- ] 'couraged, "I've got Into the habit of thinkln' that 'twa'n't so much matter if I didn't tend out on the stove for ev ery stick of wood that was burnt long's there was so many other things' to do. Course I collate to keep wood ahead for my wife, but she's always gone out Into the yard and got 'nough' together for herself If I didn't happen to do lt, and I guess likely I've got kind of slack. Of course, she's sput tered and threatened me a hundred times with what she'd do, but she nev er done anything till yesterday.

"But when we got to the house, 'bout famished," Mr. Libby continued glum? ly, "lt was fetched homo to me all right. I took the harnesses off'n the hosses and fed 'em while Jake and Wendell went Into the house to get ready for dinner. When I come out of the barn they was both out on the porch lookln' kind of tickled and red, I had mlsglvln's that minute, but \ never had ony Idea what was wrong.
