Il has been estimated that a well
kept vegetable garden will yield re-
turn ten times greater than would the
same area, if planted in corn. A half
acre devoted to garden crops, and
well cared for, win supply a family
with 500 worth of vegetables in a
slrgle year, while the average return
from corn is less than one-tenth OF
this amount.
Every farmer should have gar
den. its size should depend upon the
number Of people to be fed. One acre
will supply ten people with almost
all the things needed TO set a good
table. This garden should be locat-
ed near the house so that the work OF
Gazing for it can be done at spare
times. which would otherwise be vast
ed. Good natural drainage is very
important, the surplus water should
run off without washing the soil with
it, Too much water keeps the ground
cool and makes a late crop.
Before planting the garden We
should decide on the kind OF cultiVa-
ton that is to be used. Where the
work is to be done mainly by means
of horse tools the arrangement should
he such as to give the longest pos
sible rows, while for hand cultivation
short rows and small patches may
be used. Many people that are now

THE PALE FACE OF DEATH
Turbuloeis of the Lungs
Commonly Called Consumption

Consumption Is the most common
and most deadly disease TO which the
human family is heir. One out OF
every seven who die in the United
States die Of consumption. Last year
over 5000 people died in Kentucky of
consumption. Every person should
know the following facts about this
dreaded disease.
Consumption is seldom hereditary.
The disease is seldom present at
birth but is caught from some one,
whether father, mother, sister or aunt
or a stranger who lives in the same
house.
Consumption is caused by a germ.
This germ is SO small that hundreds
OF thousands may be on the point Of
a lead pencil and still be invisible
to the naked eye. These germs are
present in large numbers in the spit
and bowel movements OF the people
sick with consumption.
The only way consumption can be
caught is by this spit and faecal mat
ter, which is deposited on the ground
or spit around on floors or walks there
to dry and be carried in the air Gs
dust or to be carried on the feet OF
flies and deposited on food dishes and
drinking cups.
II the spit aud movements OF con-
sumptive are both destroyed or thoroly
dlsinfected and burned or buried no
one can take the disease from him.
Therefore when any one takes con-
sumption It is because these waste
matters are not destroyed and IL Is
some ones fault. IL is not an accident.
It is not divine providence but 1t is
due to some body's carelessness In
allowing his spit to get on floors. wall
drinking vessels or dishes and so in
feet the next person who comes In
contact with these things.
The spit can be destroyed by spit
ding directly into the fire or by spit
ting into squares OF paper and then
burning the paper. Consumptives
should never spit on the floor, ground
or anywhere flies can get into IL
or where It will dry and get into
the dust.
The bowel movements should never
be thrown or deposited on the
ground but into privy and covered
at once with wood ashes or lime to
keep the flies away.
Consumptiyes should have their
own individual dishes. cups knives
forks and spoons. Also towels for
the safety Of those In the same house
hold
Consumption can be cured II IL Is
taken early enough. Hundreds OF
thousands have been cured In this
country during the past ten years
No patent medicine will cure con-
sumption. Those that are advertised
To cure consumption are fakes and
money spent on them is worse than
wasted.
God has provided a cure for consump
ton by supplying good pure air ana
healthful food. A consumptive should
do no work that is fatiguing but
should rest and stay as much as
possible in the open air. He should
sleep with windows clear open
protecting himself with plenty OF bed
clothes. His diet should be largely OF
eggs and milk taking all OF these that
his stomach will digest. He should
be under the care of thoroly COM
petent physician.

find the horse tools much cheaper
and easier.
Permanent crops, such as aspara-
gus, rhubarb, raspberries, currants,
gooseberries and strawberries should
be located at one side of the garden
so as not to interfere with the Guilt
waited crops If there is any variation
in the composition of the soil 1t
should be considered in locating the
various crops. The low moist land
should be used for onions, and espe-
cially late varieties of other vegeta-
bles. The high dry soil is better for
the early crops, and those that need
warm soil. Plants that develop a
large part under the ground, such as,
beets, turnips, and potatoes should be
located where the soil is loose and
sandy. Tomatoes, beans and peas grow
better on the heavier soils.
Many of our garden plants require
only a short season to deyelope, and
as a result two or three crops can be
raised on the same soil in a single
year. II is not best to have a second
planting of the same crop follow the
first. but a change in the kind OF plan
used should be made. For example,
beets should not follow potatoes, nei-
Their should beets follow beets. Beans
or peas are better to follow potatoes,
as they bear fruit above the ground.
Rotation saves the soil. Cro be con-

HOLE IN TIN ROOF
FLOODS COURTROOM
Breach Said to Have Been Ma
hciously Made Worries
Oakland Authorities

OAKLAND. Sept. 2T.-Streams of water
pouring into Judge Harris courtroom
with the rain of Saturday led to the
discovery today of hole eight inches
square. which Contractor r. T. Malley
said appeared TO have been maliciously
kicked in the tin roofing overhead.
Malley is the regular contractor FOR
alteration and repair work about the
county buildings. He reported 10 the
board of supervisors today that the
roofing was intact less than month
ago, when the surface was gone over
by painters. and that extra precautions
were taken then to hunt out leaks or
thin places in the tin.
Malley explained that the hole seemed
to have been made by blows from
heavy boot. A similar hole was found
over the newly remodered courtroom
now occupied by Judge Brown some time
before the rain set in and this WAS
repaired before damage was done.
Judge Harris department was also re-
modelled this summer, shaft having
been cut from the ceiling up through
the roof to a sheet metal cupola to
improve the ventilation. The hole
was found some distance below this
in gutter which drained large
area. The water spoiled the interior

that it may fall at any time The
