By NEA Service WASHINGTON, March In the flower garden were Just objects to dull garden tools on and constant sources of annoyance in the past. But the present rock garden fad has caused a Bhortago In field rocks and stones, and flower gardeners are even taking automobile trips In search of material for their rockeries.

Construction of a rook garden requires quite a bit of work, government plant experts here say. It Isn't merely spadlng'the ground and planting the seeds. It requires some heavy work in carting and placing the rocks and wise grouping of the plant once the garden has been started. In selecting stone tor your garden, don't gather the smooth, hard boulders. Get those that are rough and jagged, and whoso surface Is porous.

The latter type stones hold moisture well and give your garden a rough, informal appearance. rian Garden on Slope In planning the garden, it Is well to devote a coiner of your plot, rather than the center, to the rockery. If there ia a slope on your ground, plan to devote it to the rockery, as the slope will lend itself to arrangement of the rocks better than a level area In placing the rocks, bury them well under the ground, digging down so that about half their depth is under the earth. Fill In and tamp tho earth around them after they have been set. This prevents air pockets from forming and keeps violent rain storms from washing away earth from around the rocks.

Stones that are set horizontally should be tilted at an angle so that water will wash down them and get to the plants planted near by. No Plenty of rocks, golden glow, sedum, daisies, pinks and poppies, with a background of larkspur, make up the upper backyard rock garden. The garden at right grows ivy, Iris, cattails and shrubbery, all set by the pool and fountain In the center, stone should have its edges' overlapping a neighboring stone. Soil Needs Humus It has been found that the ideal soil for a rock garden is a light sandy garden soil mulched with leaf mold or some other humus. It must be well drained and yet hold moisture.

If your soil is clay, it might be well to mix up enough of the sandy soil to cover the area planted in the rockery. As you set your stones, set your plant in place. Never finish the stone part of the garden and then go back to do your planting. Fill in the crevices between the rocks with soil and see to it that the roots of your plants go deep into the earth. Press the soil down firmly around the plants.

There is no particular plan about a rock garden. It is meant to be rough, and some of the most attractive in the country, have been built without a bit of planning. However, the beginner would do well if he drew a tentative plan of his garden before he commenced to fix it up. Hunt Your Stone Now It is not too early to commence your rock garden. Collection of stones can commence right away, as well as selection of seed to be planted in between the rocks.

Following is a list of some hardy perennials ail easy to grow in a rock garden: Golden tuft, Canada columbine rock cress, sea pink, harbell, clove r.ink. nlumv bleeding heart, ferna, of the circle will be comfortable. When chicks are comfortable they will net start crowding. Wire covered sloping roosts around the wal.a in early brooding seasons, or wire covered level roosts in the back of the house for later brooding, will encou.age roosting when the chicks are three or four weeks old. These are precautionary suggestions.

The sooner chicks will roost and be comfortable, the better they will grow and crowding will not occur. Never allow the fire to go out or the temperature to become too low. That is poor economy and the crowding habit which may follow will never be corrected. Anticipate trouble from crowding among baby chicks and it can be prevented. Dead Lambs Limit Income From Stock; Add Grain Ration In periods of low prices it is essential for sheepmen to save every lamb born, according to L.

A. Kauffman, extension specialist In sheep for the Ohio State university, who says that no other factor Is as important in determining income from the flock than is the percentage of lambs born and raised. Lcmbs born from vigorous, healthy ewes, he points out, have a much better chance of reaching maturity than those from weak, poorly fed ewes. If no grain has been fed the ewes, some can well be added to the ration during the last few weeks the lamb is carried. This helps insure a strong, well developed lamb and a good flow of milk from the dam.

The kinds and amounts of grain to be fed depend upon the hay available and the condition of the ewes. With high quality legume hay, oats is sufficient. However, a mixture of grains Is preferable. One pound of protein supplement to seven or eight of grain usually will suffice. With mixed hay more protein is needed, awl it is a good idea to feed one pound of supplement to six pounds of grain.

The grain mixture used where timothy, corn stover, or other low protein roughages are used, should contain one pound of protein supplement to each four or five pounds of grain. Among the protein supplements that are best to feed at the present time, Kauffman believes, are soybean oil meal, cottonseed meal, linseed meal, dairy feeds and bran. Any of these are suitable to balance farm grown grains, but twice as much bran or low analysis dairy feed is required to take the place of one pound of other supplements. GUN SAVES LIVES WINSTED, Instead of killing, the shotgun of a family here saved lives. During the night the kitchen of the gun owner's house caught fire.

The fire heated the shotgun, kept on the back porch, until it exploded the shell in the gun. The noise woke the family in time for them to escape. Washington, D. has no mayor. It is governed by the commissioners appointed by the president, and approved by the senate.

By TROF. A. G. PHILIPS Crowding among growing chicks, causing heavy mortality and uneven grotwih, can bo prevented largely by proper management methods. It seems to be quite natural for young chicks to "pile up" or "crowd" in the corners or along the walls of the brooders of the brooder house.

Those which are not Bmothcrcd to deati are never thrifty and may not grow satisfactorily. The mortality will be appalling if crowding becomes a habit. There is no one cause for this bad and peculiar practice, but several have been assigned to it Including incorrect temperature, Improper ventilation, too many chicks in one brood, no training of chicks as to source of heat, close confinement and too little feed. Personally, I think that crowding chicks or putting too many together in one house is bound to cause trouble. I believe that over three hundred in one unit should be considered as too many.

The fewer the chicks the less likely is crowding to happen. In Purdue extension bulletin No. 177, Prof. C. W.

Carrick makes an interesting statement "Observation has shown that crowding is rare when the brooder room is cool at 'bed time' and there is sufficient warmth under the hover to keep the chicks comfortable at the edge of it. With ample heat under tho hover chicks are les3 likely to learn to get warm by huddling. In keeping the brooder room cool, windows or doors should not be opened in such a manner as to cause floor drafts, else the chicks may hover on the side of the stove away from the drafty area." This suggestion is purely a management problem. Most careful poultrymen give enough time and attention to the chicks so that they are observed carefully as evening darkness approaches. They note how the little fellows behave and act and observe the temperature.

They make sure the chicks form a large circle just at the edge of the hover. The heat must be sufficient so that those on the outside plantain lily, coral bells, dwarf early iris, blue flax, forget-me-not, Iceland poppy, sedum, dwarf phlox, sea lavender, tufted pansy and Adam's needle. By changing the chemical value of the soil in different parts of the rockery, one Is able to grow different varieties of plants. In a particularly sunny spot, for instance, a sandy bed of soil can be prepared and cactus plants can be grown; in another little nook that's a bit shady, earth from the woods can be spread and violets planted. After each heavy rain the rockery should be inspected.

If the rocks are not set Just right, the water will wash around them and form channels through the garden. Any flowers in the line of these channels will be washed away if they are not filled in. A different grouping of the stones is available in this case. Where the rockery is large enough, a tiny stream or pool adds to its attractiveness. This can be made by running a pipe or hose from house water supply to the garden.

Rocks should be placed alongside the course of the stream and around the pool. The pool can be a sunken wash tub. INDICTED FOR MURDER CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 8. Leonard Pegg, 32 years old, driver of an automobile that plunged into Cuyahoga river March 2 and carried his wife and two children to death, today was indicted by the county grand jury on a charge of first degree murder.

Has Narrow Escape From Deadly Fumes XENIA, Ohio, March 8. Charles M. Ridgway, 64 years old, retired Dayton and Cedarville druggist, is believed to be recovering from the effects of carbon monoxide fumes, inhaled in the closed garage at the rear of his home yesterday. Mr. Ridgway had gone to the garage to see if his auto radiator had frozen and turned on the engine.

His wife investigated later and found him unconscious on the garage floor. He apparently had been able to shut off the motor before losing consciousness, which probably saved his life. He remained in a coma for a half-hour after a physician was summoned, but is expected to recover, unless pneumonia develops.
