Harold Lane, a youth, sits in a cell at the county jail in Los Angeles, a picture of religious devotion. A visi tor paused at the grated bar, peered in and remarked to a warden: “A religious youth. I am glad to see that he loves ‘the Bible. Intelligent reading of the holy book will make him a better man.” “Chase ycurself.,” muttered Harold. “1 ain't reading it because U want to but because I got to.” Harold to!d the truth. A unique pun- ishment has been meted out to him by | Judge Wilbur. He has been given the | alternative of serving ten years in th- penitentiary for violating his probation or reading the Bible in the county jail | for thirty days. Harold chose quickly; | hence his study of the Bible. | But it will be no perfunctory read- ling. At the end of thirty days the | judge, himself a Bible student, will ex- amine Hdrold. It will be an examina- tion that will take the youth from cov- | er to cover of the good book. Harold knows this, and on his first day in jail he started at chapter 1.

GROW YOUR OWN VEGETABLES To Get Them Fresh From the Garden Pays for All the Trouble Involved —Locate Near House. Every farmer should have a vege- table garden. The idea of the garden do that—but rather to have the vege- tables when you want them, and to have them fresh. How much more pleasant it is to go out into the garden and get fresh vegetables than to bring them from the market where they have lain for two days or a week. There is a spot on every farm that could be re- served for a garden large enough to produce vegetables for home use. The garden should be located near the house. If it must be out in the fleld it should not be near an alfalfa field, for when the first crop of hay is cut the grasshoppers will migrate from the alfalfa field into the garden. The spot selected should be rich, fer tile and easy to work. If irrigation can be practiced, the garden should be laid out in a. convenient manner for this purpose. It is not necessary that every kind of vegetable be grown, but most of the common ones should be planted. A good list of vegetables that should be found on every farm includes as paragus, lettuce, radishes, spinaca, onions, cabbage, beans, peas, corn and tomatoes. Vegetables that are not perishable are not so important, but it would be a good plan to grow them also. DON’T KEEP SCRUB POULTRY Poultry Breeder Keeps Pure-Bred Stock Because of Added Enthusi- asm and Increased Profits. The successful poultry breeder, whether he breeds for market or for fancy purposes, Kkeeps pure-bred stock. A man who keeps pure-bred fowls is proud of them. He takes de- daily. The punishment was suggested by his unlucky venture in a church. - He rian church with five Bibles. His only regard for them was their money val we. He needed money, and he sold them at a second hand book store. His arrest followed. The court saw by the records that Harold had violated his probation. He came before Judge Wilbur some years ago for burglary. Judge Wilbur gave him a ten year sentence and sus- pended it, placing him on probation. He walked the straight path for three years. Then he went to San Fran- elsco and did vaudeville stunts. His existence was precarious, but appar- ently he was honest as far as the evi- dence shows. Then he fell, and now he is being punished.

He suec- i ceeds So well because he has become i a real poultry fancier to the extent { that he has conceived a liking for his stock beyond its intrinsic value as a maker of dollars for him. His en- thusiasm leads him to give his fowls the best of care and attention, and as a result his business grows tremen- dously. Such poultry breeders induct into the minds of others some of their own earnestness of purpose and create an interest in poultry raising among them. This is one of the causes of the increased demand for pure-bred poul- try. If you visit the owner of a flock of mongrel fowls of many colors, shapes and sizes you will find a man who is not enthusiastic about the poultry business. It will serve as an illustra- tion of the fact that the scrub fowl cannot arouse permanent and abiding interest. Wasteful Practice to Leave ments In Field Without Protectior | of Some Kind.
