Warning is hereby issued that
a crafty stranger is working thie
wa , claiming to be an ey
spe :ialist, and his favorite vict
ims are old ladies, especiallj
tho ;e living alone. He rushes
up, shakes hands and names the
lady bo familiarly that, she if
made to believe that he is an
old acquaintance that she may
have forgotten. He grabs her
spectacles and pretends to dis
cover that she is on the verge of
going blind. He fits her with
glasses and presents a bill f r
$75 or more, disappears, and
the old lady has no recourse.

This is the month in which the
bulk of the garden produce is put
in. Early cabbage, potatoes and
cauliflower plants should all be
set by this time. Some sugges
tions come f.om Pennsylvania
State College vegetable garden
lag exports.
About May 1, the second early
wrinkled peas may be sown, fol
lowed by another planting about
the middle of the month. These
will be the last of the spring peas
for most sections of Pennsyl
vania; those sown later will not
likely mature before the warm
dry weather of su m mer sets in.
Sweet corn and garden beans
may be started soon after the
first of the month, if the gardener
is inclined to be venturesome. If
the late frosts do not get these
plantings, there will be extra
early sweet corn and snapbeans.
The safe date is usually May 15,
at which time a second planting
should be made, in 6rder to pro
vide a succession.
Through this month, small
weekly plantings should be made
of lettuce and radishes, in order
to supply the table with these
relishes at their best. For the
later plantings, use the white
radishes. They do not become
so hot as the red ones.
The early beets, carrots, spin
ach and radishes started in the
latter part of April should be
thinned to stand from one to
three i tches apart. Cultivate to
difcconiage small weeds. If weed
control is begun at this time
there will be fewer weeds to com
bat late r on.
For ttie southern tier of Penn

safe date for setting cucumber?,

Give Your Little Ones
An Interest in the Future
They are your hold on the future,
and America is fighting to make their
future safe. They are too little to
realize this now but some day must
learn to reverence the traditions of
America, the ideals of America, the
great cause for which the men of
their father's day gave their lives.
Be ready then to put in their
hands bonds of their government
They will be for them inspiring evi
dence that their fathers planned sac
rificed and invested for their sons'
future. Liberty Bonds will mean
more to them than money. They
will make them proud of the fathers
who in America's day of great need
proved themselves true American
patriots.

Care of lies With Chicks
When the chickens begin to
hatch, tho sittuitr ben should not
be disturb unless she is rest
less and steps on or picks the
chickens. Ia tbU case the
chickens should br removed a?
soon as dry and placed in a bas
ket lined with flinnel or some
other warm material and the
basket placed near a tire or m
some warm place until all the
eggs are hatched. Another plan
is to re move the eggs from the
restless hen and place them
under a more quiet one whose
eggs a. e hatching at the same
time.
When the eggs hatch unevenly,
as is frequently the Case, thost
which are slow in batching may
be placed under another hen
Hens often are restless after 8
part of the chickens are out,
which allows the remaining eggs
to become cool at the very time
when steady heat Is necessary to
successful and strong hatches.
Remove the eggshells and any
eggs which have not hatched ap
soon as hatching is over.
The mother hen should be fed
as soon as possible after the
eggs are batched, as feeding
tends to keep her quiet. Hens
that are not so fed will sometimes
leave their nests. In some cases
it is best that the hen remain on
the nest and brood the chiclftns
for at least 24 hours after the
hatching is over. It is import
ant at this stage to guard against
lice and mites. Before the hen
and her chickens are removed to
a brooding coop she should be
u 8 ted with a good insect
powder. This should be repeat
ed every two weeks, or often as
is necessary, until the chickens
are weaned. It lice become
thick on the chickens, or if they
are troubled with "head lice," a
very little grease such as lard or
vaseline may be applied with
the fingers on the head, neck,
under the wings, and around the
vent. Great care is necessary,
however, not to get too much
grease on the chickens, as it
will stop their growth and in
some cases may prove fatal.
"Bill Hoke" is the name of the
bestest little baby boy that came
last week into the home of Wal
lace and Catherine Hoke Nice in
Philadelphia.

Dry Quarters for Sbeep.
The sheep is a a native of high,
dry surroundings, therefore we
must imitate nature in the care
of the fiock to obtain the best re
sults. In order to keep the ani
mal's vitality at the h ghest pos
sible point, plenty of exercise
and abundance of fresh air
should always be provided.
Nature bas made ample pro
visior to keep the animal warm,
therefore a dry open shed is all
that is needed for mature sheep.
Very little trouble will be ei
perienced from colds and pneu
monia if dry well-ventilated
quarters are provided.
Another vital factor in tbe
health of the flick is the water

not transmitted by water. Too
much emphasis cannot be laid on
bavins: the water pure and un
contaminated.
The all too common practice
of allowing the flock to drink
from stagnant pools or even from
streams that drain from other
sheep pastures cannot be too
strongly condemned. -As long
as such practices continue,
parasitic infestation is certain.
