THE FARMERS GARDEN.

It is often a wonder to me why more
farmers do not give the proper amount
OF attention and work to the farm
garden. There is no part of the farm
that will pay as good returns. Prop
erly managed, 1t is half the living and
the best half at that. The trouble is
the men often feel too important and
busy for garden work and turn 1t over
to the already overworked women
folks. They are given the weediest
little corner on the farm and are
lucky II they can get. the men to pillow
1t up after they are done blowing all
the rest of the farm. OF course, it
would be sinful waste of money to
buy some good garden tools, for the
women to use, and SO the same farm
er that has the very latest thing in
riding plows and surface cultivators
and all such, will let the women make
garden with any old worn-out hoe and
rake as their grandmothers did be-
fore them.
1t is noticeable that when the man
does have to make the garden he gets
~ Sot al thC SPOhy VA e3ooN SASe%AA
ground, where he can have the vege-
tables In long rows and tend with the
riding cultivator.> This is as it should
be, and wish that every farm garden
might be the same way. Take strip
Of good land out away from the hedge
and the trees, an acre Is none too
much, and work it up like you would
for brag crop of corn. Get good
garden drill. and plant the seeds in
long, straight rows, wide enough to
tend with the team. The little stuff
that is too small to be tended with
the team can be put in a strip along
one side in rows foot apart and
tended with the wheel hoe attachments
Of the garden drill.
All the stuff can be tended with the
wheel hoe the first time over and after
that most of the time you could do ii
by hand In the old way, and much
better. You will be surprised the way
the stuff will grow, and how easy il
is to tend it. An hours work with
the cultivator once a week and 1t Is
done. Peas beans, onion sets, sweet
corn, potatoes, cucumbers, melons
squashes, and in fact almost all gar
den crops are as easily tended as corr
If you will go at them the same way
Try 1t next spring. Pick out youl
place for it now and get it well ma
nured with fine, rotten manure. Their
pillow it up the first thing in the spring
Harrow it and plank it and harrow i
again till you get it in perfect order
and then surprise your wife with {
good garden.

West Virginia Bear Hunt.

A large black bear caused quite an
excitement in this section last week
He was first discovered near Aleck
Fark's residence with an air Of BRAY
cry not altogether lovely.
Aleck has two fierce dogs that
chased him up against the garden
fence, and. as is often the case, nc
gun could be found loaded, and after
tossing the dogs around over the
meadow with apparent ease he crossed
ever to near Harper Wolford's on the
creek and made his escape in the
jungle, holly pursued by dozen oil
~3ore men and dogs with short breath
and fast beating hearts.-Hampshirt

BURN THE WEED SEEDS.

Since the improved tanning mills
enable the farmer to separate all de-
fective and broken grains while 1t Is
cleaned there is no longer any rea-
son for grinding or feeding screenings.
They are mostly composed of weed
Vt habit. The digestive system is. a
seeds and have little nutritive value.
while some kinds of weed seeds are
positively injurious to stock. Least Of
all should such weed seeds be given
to poultry with the idea that passing
through the gizzard will destroy their
vitality. This is not the fact. 1t is
in the crops of migratory birds that
many kinds of plants and trees have
been so widely spread as they have
been. AS for grinding the screenings,
they are no longer worth the trouble.
Grain is too cheap. II some broken
grain is burned with the weed seeds,
1t is Of no great loss.

Hog raising is one Of the most ready
means of money making known to the
western farmer. Even when the sup
ply is abundant and prices low, a mar
gin of profit is In we'll kept stock
Such animals are always salable. They
are comparatively free from disease.
and usually bring quick returns, in
cash, for the amounts invested. More
over every properly managed and we'll
fed hog that leaves the farm, leaves it
in all the better condition for growing
rich pastures and heavy crops of grain,
than had he not been reared and fed
upon the farm. Good management in
hog raising as in the handling of all
other farm animals begins with the Sc.
lection of good breeding stock.

KN1ORMARDsGA GARDEN

firm in Milwaukee is giving from s.
to 1925 for good hides, that is, for
hides that are free from cut holes and
other blemishes. In nearly all ip-
stances therefore when horses die or
are killed to put them out of the way.
1t would pay well to remove the hide.
The value of carrots as a food for
horses is not sufficiently recognized in
the northwest. This class of roots
can be grown with much certainty.
1t may not be generally known that
five or six pounds of carrots can be
fed to race horses, even when being
fitted for the track. Horses are usu-
ally fond of carrots. They serve an
excellent purpose in keeping the d.
gestion in tone, thus reacting benefi-
cially on the digestion of the other
food.

The Virtue of Abbreviation.

A writer in the Evening Standard,
complaining of the London habit OF
abbreviation, says he would like to
hang the ."fiend who christened the
Baker street and Waterloo railway

should canonize him. This column
speaks with a certain anxiety-for IL

authorizations. On the opening day
of the Shepherds Bush and Mansion
House line a forgotten omnibus driver
fired the gibe, ct amt nothing. but
a twopenny tube" at the people who
turned from his omnibus and took to
the bowels of the earth. The officials
who could build railway could not
name 1t. The drivers gibe fixed the
word. In the same way the London
public, though quite ready to. travel
by the Baker street and Waterloo
railway, wanted to save its breath,
and for the economy of hurried speech
the suggestion was here made-Ba-
kerioo. The two words have been
taken to the heart of travellers, and
received official sanction; for at
Trafalgar square you are directed to
the "Bakerloo Tube" The phrase is
swift, convenient, as a matter Of
speech, and has just as much relation
to literary language as a bill OF lad

WHAT ALFALFA WILL DO.

A grower of alfalfa, who has been
in the business for 20 years, sums up
the merits of this plant as follows:
First, its feeding value in the form
of hay is far superior to that of any
other, and nearly equal to corn, pound
for pound; second, its yield per acre
is much larger than any other tame
grass; third, 1t combines excellent
pasturage with its value as hay;
fourth, it is one of the best possible
fertilizers Of the soil; fifth, once es-
tablished in the soil it will last in
definitely; SIXTH ton of well-cured
alfalfa hay contains almost as much
protein as ton of wheat bran and is
worth for feeding almost as much.
These facts ought to set men to think
ing and experimenting.

HORSE NOTES.

There is no. better food for colts the
first winter than good hay and
crushed oats. A little bran added two
or three times week to keep the d.
gestion In tone will be helpful. If a
few carrots can also be spared, the
colts will grow just so much better.
Care should be taken to give colts
plenty Of exercise, especially in the
winter season when the temptation is
strong to confine them to their stalls.
1t does not appear to be generally
known that horse hides are possessed
of considerable value. In a majority
of instances when horses die they are
drawn away and buried without remov-
ing the hide We understand that a

BACK TO PULPIT.
What Food Did for a Clergyman.

A minister of Elizabethtown tells
how Grape-Nuts food brought him
back to his pulpit: Some years age
I had an attack of what seemed to be
In Grippe which left me in COM
plete state of collapse and I suffered
for some time with nervous prostra-
ton. My appetite failed, lost flesh
till was mere skeleton, life was a
burden to me, I lost interest in every
thing and almost in everybody save
my precious wife.
Then on the recommendation OF
some friends / began to use Grape
Nuts food. At that time was a mis-
cradle skeleton, without appetite and
hardly able to walk across the room !;
had ugly dreams at night, no disposi.
ton to entertain or be entertained and
began to shun society.
81 finally gave up the regular minis
try. indeed I could not collect my
thoughts ON any subject, and became
almost hermit. After had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for a short
time l discovered that I was taking
on new life and my appetite began to
improve; I began to sleep better and
my weight increased steadily: I had
lost some so pounds, but under the
new food regime have regained al
most my former weight and have
greatly improved in every way.

Nuts and can truly recommend the
food to all who require powerful re-

There can be no question but that
the taste for mutton is growing rap
idly. This is partly owing to the fact
that better quality OF mutton is be-
ing introduced into our markets. The
demand for mutton in the United
States is certain to increase. The
number of sheep that we are keeping
at the present time is very small in
deed compared with what it will be
and what it ought to be. Those who
go into the business of sheep raising
may rest assured of the fact that many
years must go by before the market
will be glutted with this class Of
stock.
