There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in The blood, and all the

The Family Garden.

The American Agriculturist asks:
IF the market gardener upon lands
ranging in price from $500 to $1,000
per acre, can upon a half dozen acres
sell more dollars worth of produce
than are sold off many large farms,
why may not the farmer grow in his
own garden articles Tor food that will
take the place Of much Of the more ex-
pensive commodities bought in town.
He may, and should, and every year
he neglects to do it he is committing a
crime against himself, his family and
the community in which he lives. If
the garden produces more than his
family consumes, and he has no mar
ket for the same, the surplus can be
used in making the cow give more
milk, or add to the growth of the
pig, or be green food for the chickens
these should all go with the family
garden and be co-workers in achiev-
ing independence for the southern
farmer

she says, "Spose we catch 'em tonight
and We'll go to town tomorrow" So
we did, and the next day we got an
early start and when we reached town
l let Mary do the talking. She made
a deal for some seeds. She picked out
some watermelon and cantelOpe seed,
and tomato and cabbage seed, up to
the amount of her barter. The cab
bage and tomato seeu she put in box
eS on the sunny side of the house.
When plants were large enough she
set half the ground in cabbage and to-
matOeS. About the first of April she
planted the rest in WatermelOns and
cantelOpes, and when they needed
blowing [ took a cultivatOr and run
through the patch. 1t wasn't long be
fore we began to have mustard salad
and radishes on the table for dinner
and l tell you they were mighty good
to hungry man, but they didn't last
long.
One day, along about the last of
June, Mary tiptOed and put her arms
around my neck and kissed me smack
in the mouth, and she said, ''Mr. Will
son, are you going to town tomorrow
If you are, I'd like to go along" OF
course | said yes, and that evening she
had a pile of pretty whitehead cab
bage and twenty-five or thirty canta-
lOupes lying in the shade of the old
China tree. Next morning by sun-up
we were ready to roll. We drove into
town and went to the grocer and he
looked over our cabbage and melons
and said they are the first [ have seen,
what are they worth? Mary told him
the load was worth two dollars and a
half. He took them, and agreed to take
a load twice a week. The upshOt of it
was by the first of September Mary
had sold fOrty-fve dollars worth of
produce and had the money to show
for it, More than | got from three
acres in cotton. This year we are go
ing to have garden, and Mary has
agreed that 1 may go partners anC
well make the garden bigger, and she's
been looking over them catalogues g
week or more and intends to buy five
dollars worth Of seed. We expect tc
make hundred dollars off our garden
patch this year. I'm letting Mary
take the lead, and I'll do most of the
work
That's what we call not only a good
story bus W hope it will inctte to the
turning of many a cotton half acre
into a family garden this year.

err boys are doing the field work. We
usually get one Of the boys to break
up the garden patch early in the sea-
son before they get busy with their
crops and we take our hoes and rakeS
and make the garden ourselves"
Then Mary said, "If was fixed like
you, Mrs. ROuntree l would make a
garden too, but l haven't seed to
plant and no money to buy with"
"Never mind, daughter" said the old
lady, 'I'll divide seeds with you" so
she tied up little bunch Of every
kind she had for Mary. "That even
ing when I saw Mary coming home
skipity-hop across the field l knowed
something had happened. She came in
and flung her sunbOnnet on the bed
and began to tell how good old Mrs.
ROuntree had given her a great lot of
seeds to plant and was coming over
next week to show her how to start
a garden. If I would plOw 1t up for
her. she would do the rest Then she
showed me her treasures. She had
twenty-five speckled beans, thirty cab
bage seed, thirty-two radish seed, and
so on to the end. OF course [ knew
that wouldn't make enough garden to
feed a cat, but l wouldn't throw cold
water on her plans; SO l told her to
pick out the ground for q garden and
you believe it, sir, she measured off
a plump half acre Of the best cOttOr
land had, and said she would let me
break it the next week. l felt mighty
1ubus about letting her have that half
acre of land, but l thought, as cotton
is only four cents, it won't be much
loss. Next day, along late in the after
noon | came home and found Mary at
work with a hoe and water bucket,
tOting out manure and scattering it
on the piece of ground. l drove up
and unhitched and went out where
she was and I said ''Mary, what is
the matter with you, darling? eve
are going to have a garden" she said.
I said, 'YOu come on to the house and
rest; you look awful tired and I'll haul
out few loads Of manure for you"
OF course l knOwed the land was rich
enough. but the manure had been pill
ing up in the stable and was kind Of
in the way, so I thought I'd put it out
to please her. Next day I scattered 1t
out, ploweo it up and then hitched to
the harrow and broke all the clods and
got 1t in good form for the little wom-
an, but my! how did hate to get up
that half acre Of ground. I htnted to
Mary that she would do better to plant
it in cotton, but she wouldn't give in
to the idea. She wanted a garden and
l couldn't say she shouldn't have it.
p Old Mrs. ROuntree came over as she
promised, and when she saw that half
her hands in establishment. But when
acre Of ground she just raised up both
she saw how Mary looked, she never
said a word. We laid off three rows
and planted all thu seed that Mrs.
