Il is an unguestionabie fact that
:ovys closely housed in the right kind
of stables will give more milk and keep
in better condition on the same food
than wien allowed or, more properly,
compelled. to SILVER in the BARNARD,
says the Orange COUNTY *. y Farmer.
And yet it IS the almost universal GUS
tom of cav keepers to let them roam the
barnyaru or open field for several hours
every day. 4. few do this because they
think il necessary for the COWS 20 have
exercise FOR health for themselves and
O~ffsDrin@s. But the large majority do
so simply from the fact that this was
the custom of their fathers. and they
unthinkngIy follow on IN the same rut.
The focd needlessiy wasted this win
ter by reason of the COWS being 81 much
out of doors wiII.far exceed in value all
that will be received from the products
of the dairy used or sold. And all this
might be saved if the dairymen would
only use common sense i'll properly fix
ing up their stables and then keep their
COWS constantly housed.
OF course. if the COWS are to be con-
s~tantiy housed, the stables must be
warm, r"omy. light. well ventilated,
and thea should be well bCdded. 1t is
a lamentable fact that a large majority

In no line is there room for greater
Improvement in the dairy than in the
fitting of the stables and the more con-
slant housing of the COWS.

city Government of Washington, d.. O.
HOme-rule in local affairs is q vital
principle in our government. 1t is n
trenched in our constitution, which
reserves to local authority every right
not specifically granted to the general
government. Yet in matters entirely
local, in school affairs, in health meas
ures, Washington citizens have no
voice nor control ove the expenditure
of n single dollar of their taxes. In
other cities the power to correct official
abuses is in the hands of the peoples
here, whatever the blunders commit
ted, it is hard to locate the guilty
ones. What is worse, though the
guilty be known, the people are pow
erless to rebuke them at the polls
The spectacle. meanwhile, of a body
chosen to legislate for sixtv-five mil
lion people diverted into a city council
dealing with ditch cleaning, care of
markets, graveyards and other neigh
borhOod concerns, becomes more in
congruous each year.-Margaret Noble

pLAN OF FARM GARDEN.

was worked with Il horse, excepting q
very small portion.
The illustration shows how it was
planned and planted, and the returns
from it convinced me that it is as easy
to have 4 good garden with but very
little hand hocing as it is 10 have II
that is not half cultivated with Il good
deal more work with the hoe. The soil
can be stirred much more effectively
when a horse is used, and the small
amount of hand work necessary to
make a good job of it, and the short
time it takes 70 keep the garden in a
good state of cultivation, makes it u
pleasure 10 work i'll it. and keeps it in
i condition that brings pleasure and
profit.
This garden is five by 16 rods and
contains just half an acre. and | am
safe in saying that the value of the re-
turns from il exceeds that OF any three
acres put in general crops in the same
neighborhood, and the work on it was
not missed. as it was done at odd times
mustly-mornings and evenings when

could he devoted to il. If occasion de-
mandcd it. time was taken to work the
garden, but the whole cost of keeping
il going was not much in excess ofwhat
il would cost to take first-class care Of
any crop.
Melons. squashcs and cucumbcrs
should be Senarated and kept as far
apart as possible. This because these
things croSs-fcrti!ize with each other
easily. l kept pole and bush limas
apart, though this was not necessary,
for beans do not croSs-fertiliZc readily.
The sweet corn was al together. as tie
very early was Out of blossom before
the medium came on; and this in turn
was out of the way of the mammoth
evergreen, which came latest of all.
Where early potatoes We're planted in
the spring. cabbages, turnips and rel
cry were put out after the crop Of pota-
toes was off, and other late crops grew
where early peas and beans had been,
turnips and c~Ucumbcrs for pickles
mostly.
BY using a little management most of
the ground was made to produce W
crops during the season. This kept the
land clean of weeds and kept the garden
in good shape during the whole sea-
son. and made the profits correspond
ingly greater. Any farm in IllinoIS
might have a similar garden, and If it
is near a considerable village much of
the surplus might be sold at gool
prices.
The diagram shows how the plots
were arranged. On the west side IL strip
one rod wide was reserved for such
things as onions. beets, lettuce. early
peas, etc, all of which can be planted
closely and grown TO better advantage
than if planted in wide rows. In the
diagram this strip is shown, numbered
l, =. ;. etc.
The remainder of the garden was
marked off into rows so inches apart
This is about the proper distance for
beans, peas, corn and potatoes when
grown in rows, drilled in the row. 1t
will be seen by the diagram that this
plan for a garden allows it to be culti-
waited north and south by horse power;
and if this is well and carefully done
but very little hand work will be neces-
sary the season through.-Farm and

The wild carrot is abundant in several

troublesome on cultivated land, being
confined chiefly to meadows and the

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.
