Constipating Foods
SUCH foods as soups, gruels, porridges
and purees contain bo little solid matter
that the bulk, considerable enough It may
be when tho food Is eaten, Is soon reduced
to a very small volume. On thiB account
liquid foods are almost always constipating.
The only exceptions aro those liquid foods
which contain much sugar, acids or fats.
PaBty cereals, such as oatmeal mush, are
decidedly constipating In their influence, be
cause of their pasty consistency and tho
little mastication which they receive. New
bread, hot biscuits, "noodles" and doughy
foods of all sorts are likewise objectionable,
Oatmeal, to be wholesome and not con
stipating, should be cooked by the old Scotch
method. Oatmeal is Btlrred into boiling
water until It thickens and then served at
once without further cooking. Five minutes
Is ample time. Longer cooking Is Injurious.

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
WHEN NIGHT CAME
By Farmer Smith
Tho sun was slowly sinking behind the
hills when the soldiers stopped for their
night's reBt. Billy had trotted patiently
behind the wagon all the afternoon. It was
a hot, dusty trot, but Billy thought ho was
doing his duly. "How sweet It Is to do
one's duty"' ho said out loud as the wagon
stopped beside a brook nnd tho driver
stepped down ftom the sent and untied
Billy.
"Oh, goodie'" exolalmcd Billy. "There
Is a borne. I'll take to him." He trotted
off.
"What aro you doing hero?" asked tho
horse, when Billy reached the front of the
uagon,
"I've been pushing tho wagon all after
noon helping you," said Billy proudly.
"Thank you so much," replied the horse,
"But what arc YOU around hero?"
"I'm one of tho olllcers," answered Billy
promptly
"Please don't mako mo laugh," Bald tho
horbo, "What odlcer are you?"
"I'm tho mascot," replied Billy, taking
a nibble nt one of the traces.
"What's a mascot? I've been an army
horse many years and I've never before
heard of a mascot. You carry water or
something Is that tho Idea?"
"Not at all." began Billy. "A mascot Is
over a general. Ho brlngs-luck, not water.
I don't quite understand what my duties
aro aB yet, When I find out I will let you
know But say, may I have a nibble of
your hay when It comes? All I've heard
of eating Is a very few words about a
powder can "
"I advise you to try and empty the can
first," said tho horse.
But the first can Billy tried was a canful
of powder; wasn't that funny? It wasn't
funny for Billy!

FERTILIZERS PERPLEXING SUBJECT
TO HOME GARDENING AMATEUR
Practical Hints on Use of Stable Manure, Green Manures
and Complete Fertilizers Fertilizers Rightly Applied
Mean Difference Between Success and Poor Crops
By JOHN BARTRAM
mllE subject of fertilizers Is an important
one In home gardening and a perplexing
one to the homo gardener. I havo tried In
what follows to offer practical suggestions
as' to fertilizing nnd to give a trifle of tho
philosophy of tho subject.
Tho best garden soil Is a sandy loam.
Such a soil Is well drained, well nlred and
warms up early. It furnishes a good
medium for tho sprouting of seeds, Is loss
Inclined to bako than any other soil typos
and lends Itself readily to cultivation and
weeding.
Prospective gardeners who have a some
what dense, poorly drained soil should not
bo discouraged, ns much can be done to
Improve poor ground. A heavy soil can
bo made more porous by tho Incorporation
of organic matter. The best source of this
Is stable 'manure. Addition of sand or finely
sifted coal ashes will lighten a hoavy soil.
A compost of other organic materials, such
lawn ellDnlnes. vegetable remains, au
tumn leaves, shrubbery trlmmlng3, etc.,
may be thoroughly blended and rotted and

water.
-!.,, munurlne mav he nractlced where
space will permit. A crop of rye, seeded
after the middle of August and as late as
October, will make good growth by the time
It is spaded orv plowed under In the spring.
SUPPLYING PLANT FOOD
Garden boII should be made as fertile as
possible by plant food supplied In a num
ber of ways. Working under green matter
not oply adds a email amount of plant food
directly, but Its decay also tends to lib
erate otherwise unavailable plant food.
Application of barnyard'tnanure, long ex
perience has Bhown, Is the best wsy of aid
ing soil fertility. If applied In the spring
the manuro should be well rotted, Fresh
manure Bhould be spread In the fall and
during the winter. If applied In the fall
and spaded under, the ground will be In
good condition In the spring. It Is fre
quently Impossible, however, to obtain man
ure of ideal quality. Manure In any con
dition Is better than none at all on account
of the humus or vegetable mold accessible.
If celery, "onions, cucumbers, lettuce or
greens are grown, an eighth ton to every
COO square feet will not be excessive. For
these crops, also, hen manure In addition at
the rate of a peck to 00 square feet will
prove beneficial, adding nitrogen. Too
heavy manuring xvlll cause root crops, such
as carrots, beets, turnips, potatoes, to run to
leaf, and ths eeetlon reserved for them
should be fertlllied mors sparingly, say on
a half sesle, .

I asked Wm whether he would stop or
whether I ehould go and get my father to

that he explained that It would break the
brick for me to' knock them over and he
asked me to please not do It any more. I
promised him and told him I was sorry I

vegetables like tomatoes, beans, eggplants

through what Is known as 16 per cent acid
phosphate, supplied at the rate of one pound
to fifty square feet. This element can also
be obtained In a well mixed prepared fer
tilizer and may be used to supplement man
ure or green matter when spaded under.
Ground bone meal also Is rich In phos
phorus. Where rye used as a green crop, pul
verized or dried hen manure or sheep
manure, obtainable at seed houses, will sup
ply lack of nitrogen. Either should be
applied at the rate of about two pecks of
manuro to 00 square feet of land.
Potash in the muriate form, which under
normal prices may be used to advantage, Is
selling at a prlco which makes its use Im
practicable. Nitrate of soda, although high
In price, may be used to top-dress any
crop needing additional stimulation at tho
rate of one pound to 200 square feet.
In listing commercial fertilizers of the
so-called "complete" type, that Is containing
nitrogen, phosphate and notash. the esti.
matlon la usually given at so many pounds
per acre. It Is handy to remember that 100
pounds1 per acre means one pound per 416
square feet, a plot approximately 10 by
43.0 feet; 200 pounds per acre means ono
pound per 218 square feet, a plot about
10 by 21.8 feet, and so on to 1000 pounds
per acre, which means one pound to forty,
four square feet, or a plot 10 by 4.4 feet.
This is "broadcasted" or scattered over
the ground and plowed under. Commer
cial fertilizer, also, Is "drilled In") that Is,
sprinkled thlply at the bottom of the fur
rows before putting in seed or plants. For
this purpose the furrow should be abet
twice ths usual depth and the fertilizer
covered with a layer of line "soil, so the
roots Will not be burned. Oood fertilizers
osn be bought now for about fB.EO to $3.00
for a bag of J67 pounds. Smaller bags
are put up for home gardeners.
Sheep manure and bone meal should be
applied broadcast at the rate of five pounds
to 800 square feet, or else drilled In bottom
of rows.

When June saw I was limping she car
ried me up Into her house and wrapped a
rag around my knee and hugged me tight
and kissed me and then I cried. Thi
funny thing about it is that I don't know
why I cried, for I was very glad to have
her love mo In that way. Maybe it was be
cause thcro was no one around to hear me
cry.
Juno said she was going to take me to tht '
matinee, whatever that Is, tomorrow after
noon, so I stayed there for dinner -and sup

good.
Rowdy and I kneeled and I prayed, "Dear

been feeling bad about me up there In

would not havo so many grouches. Do you
go to matinees, or will I have to tell you all
about It? I am kneeling on one knee be
