In 1652, the fifth year of Elizabeth's reign, the British parliament passed a special act against forgery "to amend the small, inlld and easy pun- Ishment" then in force. By this act any person found guilty of forgery was sentenced to pay double costs and damages, was to be set In the pillory in some open market town, and there publicly to have both ears cut off, his nostrils slit and cut, and seared with a hot Iron, "so as they remain for a perpetual mark of his falsehood," the unhappy forger to finally ldse all his possessions and be Imprisoned for life. In 1634, according to Edward H. Smith, In the Saturday Evening Post, forgery was made a "capital offense without benefit of clergy," which mean1 that a man might not escape the gb- bet on account of high birth in case he were convicted as a forger. This monstrous law remained in effect un- til 90 years ago, when ,many types of forgery were taken off the lists of capital crimes, along with such fa- miliar offenses as burglary, brigand- age, picking pockets and stealing bread. 8treft Nomenclature. The practice of ving numbers and letters instead of vames to the streets and avenues of our cities is so familiar to us that it excites no thought, ex- cept of its convenience. But it is a practice often remarked upon by for- eigners ns peculiar to the United States and as evidence of the matter of facet, unimaginative character of our people. tIlstorleal[ dates have been caU, ed picturesque names for streets. The French set the fashion in this respect• Paris has its Rue du 29 Juiilet and its Ilue du Septembre. This fad has spread even to South America. Bue- nos Aires has its Parque 3 du Feb- rare, its July Promenade, its ]6th of November square and also its 25th of May slreet.

Farm Bureau Marketing Auoclatlon Formed in California to Dispose of Hogw--System Applicable to Other Produots. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Selling live stock by auction, a plan started in Kern county, California, In 1917, has now spread through a con- siderable area of the interior of the state, especially where large numbers of hogs are grown. Last year seven countiesKern. Kings, Merced, Ma- dera, Stanlslaus, Tulare and Fresno-- formed the Callforuia Farm Bureau Marketing association and Joined in conducting auction sales. This asso- ciation employed a manager and as- sistant manager who were responsible for the mccess of the sales. In addi- tion, each county farm bureau has a committee in charge of the gales local. ly. Auction sales were also held In San Joaquln and Shasta counties. It is expected that this system will ex- pand throughout the state during the coming year and that it will pro ap- plicable to other products whlcl are capable of standardization. The business last year included 183 auction sales at whlcb 543 carloads of live stock were sold for $1,790,330.79. It Is estimated that the sales brought a direct Increased return to the farm- ers of $166,946.97 over the prices the stock would have brought otherwise. This is but one example of the help given by the county agent in organiz- ing farmers for selling live stock. One hundred and three county agents In :19 states, report this service as an impor- tant feature of the work last year. Furthermore, ]33 county agents In 14 states report that tley assisted in or- ganizing live-stock shipping associa- lions in their counties.

Carried ' mato plants, In the small sul)url/sn garden, there is nothlng be:ir.thah the hinged tmnato trellis--a tent- shaped structure, easily made at home. Take four wooden strips, 2 by ] inch and about four feet long. Place each pair of them together, at one end, and hinge them with two strip ten feet long. These two long strlpd form the ridge-pole of the trellis, so to speak. Nail several other ten-foot strips across each side of the tent-like struc. tul-e and the trellis is completed. The hinged top of the trellis, as shown on the diagram and marked H, permits it to be spread the exact width of the row, or It may be spread Tomat Trellis. widely so that. the plants in two rows may be supported. When not in use, the trellis may be closed up and kept with the garden tools. ESSENTIALS TO GARDEN SITE Certain Amount of Sunlight, Fairly Fertile Soil and Cool Dralnsge..- Other Polnt There are thl-ee essentials to the garden site, experience has shown. They are: Sunlight at least six hours a day; a soll sufficiently fertile for weeds to grow upon it; sufficient drainage, either natural or artificial, to prevent flooding or excessive moisture. If a site is notably deficient fn aDy of these three essential characteristic& it is not suited for garden purposes un- less the fault can be corrected. If one is fortunate enough to be able to choose among several possible loca- tions, the New York state college at Ithaca suggests it may be well to con- sider the following points• Nearness to the house for con- venience in working the garden and in gathering the products and, in the case of a town garden, for prbte¢tton against trespass and theft. A water supply to insure against drought, A gentle south or southeast slope. A windbreak to the north. A good, rich loam, that is, a mix- ture of sand and clay with plenty of humus or decomposed plant materfaL Fertility and abundant humus are gen- erally indicated by a dark color of the soil, 'MILKWEED SHOOTS ARE GOOD Cut Just as They Come Through Ground They Are ,Crisp and Tender Make Excellent' Dish.
