THE GARDEN.
How to Make the Most Out of Its
Products.

We have to eat at our house and
what we don't grow we have to buy
and pay cash for. During the summer
we have extra help and the butcher
bills are heavy, but nothing like as
heavy as they would be if we could not
fill the men with peas, beets, green
corn. radishes and other things from
the garden. Some of these things from
the garden may whet mans appetite,
but they abridge his capacity, while
they cost less than beef or lamb from
a butchers cart.
But if l try to grow just enough Of
any given thing for ourselves | am al
ways getting left. The housewife
might just as well count her potatoes
and try to put just enough for The
meal on the table. Nothing need be
wasted. We sold sweet corn last sum
mre at a cent an ear, enough to more
than pay for growing the corn, and as
fast as the good ears were picked The
stalks and small ears went to the cows
instead of sowed corn
If you sell these things, by-products
to you, worth little or nothing il left
at home, never undersell people who
make living by growing such things.
1t is fair neither to the truck grower
nor your customer You know Ito err
is human" and if you sell a peck of
peas at half price. the good woman to
whom you sell them will tell her reg
ular market man the first time that he
comes along that she can buy peas Of
you much less than he sells them.
This might be all right if you kept on.
but you will not. and the next time
the marketman has only what peas he
knows he can sell; probably the very
day the good lady has company and
wants a good dinner, he will skip her
The next time he calls she will take
him to task for disappointing her, and
he will plead as an excuse that he
thought some one was furnishing her
peas for less than he could, and winks
the other eye. l have known so much
| trouble occasioned in this way that
say, give away anything you please,
but when you sell, sell at market rate
If you do not do your own marketing,
whoever does it for you will find it to
| his as well as your advantage to add
to the variety of his stock.

Oats After Corn.

There is a belt of land running
through a portion of New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and western states
that is too far south for profitable cat
production and too far north for safe
seeding of wheat after corn. South Of
this belt there is time to seed to wheat
after the corn is put into shock, and
north of it the summer is not too hot
for oats. In this belt the oat crop is
always uncertain, the big growth Of
straw often falling to give heavy grain
on account of heat in July. Some of
the farmers make it a rule to risk the
oats, the crop rotation being corn, oats,
wheat and grass. Others risk the
wheat, which is seeded rather late on
hastily prepared land. Those having
silos have the advantage as the corn is
cut before fully ripe and is removed at
once from the field.

BREED AND UTILITY.
Fowls Can Be Bred to Be Extra
Layers.

A fact that is now coming before the
poultry fraternity at large is that more
attention must be paid to the breeding
of fowls for utility than has been done
In the past. All thoroughbred varieties
of fowls should be bred for utility first,
leaving the less important points of
mere fancy as a secondary matter. Not
that one should advocate the doing
away with breeding for feather ana
form, for it has been one of the great
means of the rapid advance of the
poultry interest during the past few
years, but if all faneiers had Tried as
hard to breed great layers as they have
to breed fine feathers the result would
have been still more satisfactory
Fowls can just as well be bred to be
extra layers, and still possess all tie
fine fancy points without regard to egg
production. 1t may take much longer
to bring them to the desired perfection
on standard" points, yet in the nd
there would be strains that combine
utility with fancy. 1t is very natural
for breeders of fancy fowls to desire to
excel at shows in standard" birds
without regard to egg production, the
ing, while if he had taken his most
vigorous, best formed and best laying
females and mated them with a vigor-
GUS male so marked to overcome, in
greater or less degree their bad points,
and, although his birds may no be
so finely marked as in the first mating,
he will be started on the right road
and will inevitably succeed. Fanciers
should not forget that the main end
of poultry is to produce eggs and meat
for the table, and that the chief end 10
be sought for is not altogether fine APP
pearance. The aim of every fancier
should be to combine the two, giving
fancy a secondary place to utility, and
keeping close to points as far as posi-

(Eancy's John Bull, a grandly bred
Jersey.)
to build up a herd of larger size an
average of over loco pounds for ma
ture cows has been easily attained.
The average weight of Jerseys IN
America is considerably more than the
average on their native island. In
color this breed varies more than any
other. At one time a careful examina-
ton of the foundation stock on the
Island of Jersey showed that but one
COW in ten was solid colored. The pro-
portion is greater in the United States,
but there are pure registered Jerseys
of all shades of brown to deep black,
and of various shades of yellow, fawn
ami tan colors to a creamy white; also
mouse color or squirrel gray, some light
red and a few brindle With all these
coiors and shades there may be more
or less white, in large patches or small
and Oh any part Of the animal. Bulls
range much darker in color than COWS.
But there are always signs or markings
about pure Jersey or a high grade, or
something in it's appearance, hard to
describe, by which the blood is unmis-
takably shown.

agricultural product, both for home

the apple dealers commence early In
the season and canvass the apple sec

careful estimates until apple picking,
when they are perfectly posted on the
quantity and quality of the crop as

A brooder is to an incubator what
an accompaniment is to a song. 1t
plays its part. The great trouble is,
many people forget that the chicks
grow. They place them in the brooder,
they increase in size while the broo Ter
doesn't grow with them. The result is
that the accommodations for the
chicks are insufficient.

To England in Two Days.

"Fast electrict ships crossing the
ocean at more than a mile minute,
will go from New York to Liverpool in
two days." writes John Elfreth Wat
kins, Jr., of "What May Happen in the
Next Hundred Years." in the Decem-
ber Ladies' Home Journal "The bod
les of these ships will be built above the
waves. They will be supported upon
runners, somewhat like those of the
sleigh. These runners will be very
buoyant. Upon their under sides will
be apertures expelling jets of air. In
this way film of air will be kept be-
tween them and the waters surface.
This film, together with the small sur
face of the runners, will reduce friction
against the waves to the smallest pos
sible degree. Propellers turned by
electricity will screw themselves
through both the water beneath and
the air above. Ships with cabins arti-
ficially cooled will be entirely fire-proof.
In storm they will dive below the water
and there await fair weather."

TRANSPORTATION.

Twas just before Thanksgiving Day,
And little Willie White
Was sound asleep, all tucked away,
AS usual, for the night;
And he had swum a charming race
In apricots and cream,
When through his vision rushed apace
This most atrocious dream:
1t was monstrous turkey cock
Who stood upon the spread;
His eyes were like the courthouse clock
And dreadful turkey-redl
lie had sharp and wicked bill,
His neck was wet with gore
And thus to frighten little Will
He spoke these words-no more:
Behold / am the wrath of him
Who dies death unjust;
For greedy boys, torn limb from limb,
That they may eat to bust!
On Willie Width, beware! Ere yet
Another night you see,
us written down so don't forget
That you shall change with me!'
Then Willie shrieked amid his sleep,
And tremblingly awoke;
But when his flesh had ceased to creep
He deemed il all Joke.
Alas the words indeed were truth,
For ere the morrow night
The turkey had become the youth
gobbler Willie White.
