Farmers Kitchen or Family Garden.

Farmers Kitchen or Family Garden
 One of the first things to be looked after on the farm is the family garden. Where not already prepared the work of prepar- alton should have been commenced last fall. However, It is not too late now to look after this very important part of country home life.
 A good, well managed farm garden will not only add much to the comfort Of farm life, but will also greatly reduce the ex- penses of living. Then, too, it Will aou much to the health of all the family and thus reduce the medicine expenses II seems that such a simple plain proposition should not need much argument or ao- vice: yet we see so many farm homes where there is scarcely any effort made to have any fruits or vegetables This IS not for the want of suitable soil for q garden. We have but few sections In .his country in which good garden may not with a little work be prepared.
 Not only should a farmer prepare a vegetable garden, but he should also LOOK out for and arrange for a good supply of fruits as well.
 Once the work of this kind is started, most of the farmers would find 1t a pleas ire rather than a hard task How many farmers Go we have all over our great country who depend almost entirely on the efforts of their wives fer all the gar den they have? I have found lots of just such farmers, farmers who think the gar den too small matter TOT theh to naNe to look after.
 This work of making garden should never be imposed upon the good wife She has all she can look after without this. es- pacially SO, if she is raising a family, l know that our farmers wives delight in outdoor exercise, and they like to get out and help in the garden and take delight In growing nice bed of vegetables. This ,s all right. but the burden of the work should fall upon the men and the good u,,fe only help for exercise, recreation and rest from her other duties; or. in other words she should be made to know and feel that a good garden will be provided whether she does anything In 1t or not. In. fact 1t seems to me that the good wire should have flower garden With wnicn she could spend her leisure moments and ba rrlieSed entirely of the thought or care of the vegetable or fruit garden.
 As grow older. and as l see life, nov inc from place to place as do, increase my respect for our women. There Is noth- ing In this world so pure and noble as our American women. who are the highest tyne of an all-wise Creator. Our women, manv of them, deserve much better treat n,snt than they receive. Our young people need to be better educated along these lines. and no girl should tie her fortune to a man who is not willing to care for her. and treat her as a wife.
 Time Is Past.
 The time Has past in this country TOT making slaves of our women. What pie lure can be more dark than that Of well raised, educated and refined young girl marrying and settling down In some hut

to drag out a life of slavery and drndg- cry?
 l mention these things because I have seen so many just such homes, and I kno " what it all means Of all the women of the world, the American farmers wife should be the happiest. for it will cost but little to make her so.
 Things and life generally should and can be made pleasant OH the farm as any where, and our women are not simply dolls, but they, like the men, want some thing to occupy their time; but this some thing should be light and pleasant. What ever ou. of door exercise or labor our wo- men do should be mere matter of choice and not compulsion.
 First select some well located plot, a slope to the south or east is best for a large line of both fruits and vegetables. The land should be rolling. just enough to drain well The size, of course, will de- pend somewhat on the amount of fruits and vegeta bies needed, but 1t will be far better to have the plot large than to have 1t too small for if more is grown than is needed for the family use the surplus crops may be sold in some nearby village or If there Is no homo market all the sur plus vegetables may be cooked up and fed to the poultry and pigs on the farm; so would advise do not be afraid of growing too much.
 This is the great mistake that many farmers make. They say, Well, there is no use 70 plant these things my family care nothing for them, and there Is no market for such things" The taste for fruit and vegetables can be cultivated, and soon a family will be lost who sit down to a meal where there are not vege- tables of some sort. So do not be stingy of your land when 1t comes to setting apart lot for your garden. Now, it is often the case that the farm house and Improvements have been made before the selection of the garden site has been made In such cases one can not have choice ot locations, and so will be compelled to do the best he can in this matter.
 An ObIona Square.
 The plot should be laid out in an obong square so as to permit of horse cultiya- ton. Make the rows long one way. and yse the blow and horse instead of the spade. After the selection has been made the plot should be cleared at once of all stones and stumps, if any and made ready for the blow
 But one of the first things to look after is good fence. The garden should be so fenced as too keep out all stock. and. es- pecially the poultry and pigs. Unless Eiis; Is attended to al the start there is no use wasting any time in trying to have a garden. A woman and dog should not be depended on for a garden fence.
 The next thing is to make the land rich so 1t will produce the crops needed. There are many fertilizers for this purpose, the best of all being that saved on the farm from the barnyards. Well routed barnyard manure will serve for the garden.
 It will be well enough to have thesman- ure well routed before applying, then ap- ply what is needed and blow under, mix ing it well with the soil. In blowing great

 1 have often mentioned thls to my neighbors there, but they all unite In saying that 1t would not do. They only scratch the surface with a cultivator and make hills with a hoe for setting out.

I saw thousands of cattle, hogs and sheep.
 I have seen the great fruit orchards of the great red apple country of Mis- souri and Arkansas. I have also seen the greatest peach orchards and straw berry fields in the world. 1 have seen the farms where the poultry that Bir- mingham and other southern cities use is raised
 l have seen all kinds of specimens of western people and western life. 1 have seen some of the great alfalfa fields of the west. 1 have seen the mountains, the plains, the rivers, the cities and ' towns of this great western country l | only wish that 1 had the time and space to give a description of the country through which have passed. I regard the Indian Territory as one of the best farming countries we have.
 The name, Indian Territory, only ex- ists in name and story, for l travelled clear across il and never saw dozen Indians. But l did see lots of fine stock, and lots of grain and many fine, we'll improved farms all operated by white men, but owned by the Indians. This make> me think that the more I travel and the more l see of this world, the more fully convinced am 1 that the white man is the only man after all that Is much Use in thls world.
 All the country which l have mention ed Is in rather prosperous condition. l was much surprised last week to see the farmers down in Oklahoma out blowing and preparing for another crop. All through Arkansas and Oklahoma there is lots of fine cotton yet out in the fields. II does not seem that they expect to get 1t gathered. In Missouri Kansas and Iowa, there is lots of corn yet in the fields In the west a great acreage of wheat has been sown and the crop generally is looking well. There is great emigration to the south and west this winter, and lands generally are In good demand. There are lots of apples yet all through the country un- sold. These come mostly from the small growers, as most of the fruit in the large commercial orchards is sold from the trees Thousands of young trees are being planted all through this western country. In fact, everything is on the boom out here in the west.
 Stock growing Is receiving vast amount of attention. I have met with several mule buyers from the south who come to Missouri for mules I suppose our readers. generally. have no idea of the loads Of mules that pass through Birmingham for Georgia and other states south and east. I will try 10 say more of these matters later on.
 Personal Work.
 l want 10 make mention Of some of my personal work. What I need most of all is time. I sometimes think if I only had the time our young men waste playing cards, or the time I wasted when younger hunting and fishing I could do lots Of good I am pressed for time, and there are so many things I could do If 1 only had the time. I was up at my old home in Iowa the other day, and the paper for which I used to write wanted to engage me for writing up my travels through this country. But I could not take the offer as I am already overworked Even this beauti full Sabbath day, when I should like so much to be at home. l am here at a great hoalth-seeking world renowned re- sort-Eureka Springs.
