PIGEON'S FOR THE' BOYS,
About two years ago I was sur-
prised to overhear my oldest son,
aged twelve, tell his younger brothergrate to another. But whether they

We are the owners of a hundred -acre
farm; yet neither of the children own-

hours for recreation but they had no
hope of profit from any enterprise, ex-

to myself, "should our boys be exclud-

"Probably the most effective method
of controlling roaches is by the use of
sodium fluoride," Mr, Webster ex-
plained. "This is a white powder that

we .presented them with six pairs of in the quantities into all locations

in house frequented by the insects,
especially in pantries and under
sinks. Sodium fluoride should never
.come in contact with any foodstuffs,
however, since it is poisonous."
"On the market there are a number
of preparations for the control of
cockroaches. Many of these contain
borax or boric acid, which may be
purchased as such from the druggist
and applied in the same manner as

Any treatment for cockroaches must
be continued for several weeks, if suc-
cess is to be attained. Persistence is
necessary, regardless of 'whatever
measure is used against these trouble-
some insects. Special care should be
taken never to allow bread crumbs or
other food of any description to re-

this encourages the insect.
A PRETTY FROCK FOR MANY
OCCASIONS.
"3In towns reaches may move from
house tq house," said Mr. Webster.
"They have even been known to leave
one house in large numbers and mi -
history of nearly every home they
make their appearance and cause the
housewife no end of trouble.
Damp localities, such as the neigh-
borhood of the kitchensink, is their
favorite habitat. They are night
prowlers and usually remain hidden
during the daytime. Roaches may be
recognized by their brown or black
color and their size, which is usually
a half 'inch or more in length. Their
flat bodies are well fitted for hiding
away in cracks' under baseboards.
Roaches reproduce by means of eggs
constructive opportunity that would
soon convince them that they could
make money at home. I talked the
subject over with my husband and we
decided on pigeons. We had none on
the farm and we reasoned that some
pigeons and an acro of land as their
very own, their joy was too great for
words"
They wont to work the next morn-
ing making a pigeon house in an un-
used sited and we were surprised to
see how heartily they carried the
work through. The simple fact was
that their sympathies were enlisted
in a cause exclusively their own and
they kept at work as diligently as if
they expected to get rich by it.
The; boys' acre was sown to grain
for the pigeons' rations and the boys
required little assistance in harvest-
ing it, At the age of aix months, the
pigeons began to pair and the flock
kept increasing.
Much more important than the
money they make is the fact that they
are so well satisfied and so interested
with something to do on their own
home farm. They loved their hone
but were anxious to do something for
themselves. It was not money they
were craving but mental interest.—

"It was the very beat thing we could

Mrs. Morgan came to the sitting
room door now and then, to chat for
a moment. Dinner for four was like
play to her; when there were fifteen
to twenty, then that was work.
That dinner was one of the hap-
piest they could remember. Ordinarily

After dinner Mrs. Gray, enveloped

men got out the fishing rods- and
loaded them into the automobile., It
was the first automobile ride either
of the Morgans had had, and .the old

Dan Morgan said to his wife, as he
pulled off his boots:

Mr. Gray does?"
"I should say not; he's a rich man,
Money makes money in the city,"
In the spare room the visitors lay
looking out at the moonlit night.
"Hasn't it been a wonderful day?"
whispered Mrs. Gray.
"I shouldn't ask anything better for
the rest of my life," he answered.
"I wish we had a place like this,
Mark!"

The third point of the sling was
then folded around the elbow in such
a way that it gave support and kept

pins were black to be as unobtrusive

The Currant Hedge.
1 think earth does not know a lovelier
thing
Than a hedge of currant blossoms in

Who would have guessed that churlish
sod could hold
So much of flame and ha.grance, green
and gold;
Who would have dreamed capricious
winds of May
Could conjure forth this exquisite•ar-

Of vagrant stars, blown earthward
from the night,
To capture weary souls with new de-
light?
I never catch their wind-blown strange
perfume,
Drifting from fragrant banks of foam
gold bloom,
But that an ancient memory bears me
far
To an old house beneath an evening
star,
Tb an old yard where• young leaved
'ti' es would trace •
High on .the sunset sky their fragile
:lace,
And from tb•e hedge that marked the
• garden rim
N ight after night the eveniiYg.jvind
would brim"
With: perfume lovelier far than ever'—

From IRien's• garden when. the world
Wage new,
And beauty and dusk anti dreams
came drifting low
Over an old house, long and long ago.
And se D think there is. no.lovelier
