How This Distress May BE Relieved BY

A LIVING FROM ONE ACRE.

that family. industrious and econom.
zeal, can secure good living off four
or five acres Of land A recent issue
Of an eastern periodical tells story
better than this-how d woman sup.
ported herself and two children on the
proceeds Of one acre. While the case
may be exceptional, 1t Il at the same
time interesting and suggests solu.
ton for much of the worst type Of
poverty from which folks In the con-
gested districts In the large cities are
suffering. The woman In question
went In debt for the acre OF ground.
the only profit giving fixtures thereon
being twelve currant bushes and thir.
ty stands Of bees. With borrowed
money she secured five ducks and one
drake, a setting of Wyandotte eggs
and six pairs OF pigeons. She has
lived on the place four years, and last
year from quarter Of an acre de.

400 squads were sold. besides the stock

shows what can be done where de-
termination Is coupled with a purpose

fact that In the vast majority of cases
OF poverty and restitution the root OF
the difficulty lies not so much in the

How 10 Blow = Nose Scientifically.

Medical experts are calling the atten,
ton Of the public TO the Importance OF
performing the nose blowing operation
In scientific and hygienic manner.
First one nostril and then the other
should be blown without undue vio-
ience. Doctors state that the two ma
sal passages should never be closed at
the same time. IL they are obstructed.
as In the case Of cold. the back Of
the throat is filled with compressed
air. and this. together with the dis
charge and the microbes which it con.
tains. may be driven through the eu-
stachian tube into the middle ear and
lead TO serious results. A great nu.
thority on the subject used to forbid
his patients to blow their noses when
suffering from cold. This course Is
hardly one which Will commend itself
b those In the habit Of catching colds.
The best advice would seem 20 be that
when II Is necessary TO blow the nose
the blowing should be done gently.

INDOOR GARDENING.
How to Raise Tender Plants From
Seeds in the House.

In planting seeds of tender ANNALS
In the house, shallow boxes, called
fats, are required. These should not
be over three inches deep. and for ten.
der greenhouse plants two inches Is
enough. These may be Of any con.
venient size, but should not be too
wide TO sit on the window sill, unless
a shelf extends beneath the window
sill on which they can rest. 1t is bet.
ter, too, that they be small enough to
accommodate but one kind Of seed. y
For all fine seeds soil composed OF
leaf mold and fine, sharp sand should
be used. This should be sifted and
pressed down evenly. The soil should
be moist when nsed. not wet or dry.
Fine seed, Ike the Rex begonia, prlm.
rose, calccolaria and the Likely should
be merely sifted evenly over the sur
face OF the soil and pressed down into
the soil with piece of smooth board.
The flats before filling with earth
should have a few small holes bored
in the bottom and these covered with
bits Of glass to prevent the soil wash.

After the fine seeds have been sown
the flats should be set In a pan Of tepid
water until they have absorbed sufli-
cient moisture to look dark, but not
wet on top. They should then be tilt.

drained of. the fat covered with glass

coarser seeds should have light
covering Of sifted sand pressed down
over them. and still larger seeds should
be sowed in drills an eighth of an inch
deep and the displaced soil drawn back
over them and pressed down.

the latest venture of the head of one
Of the big Western railroads. Presi-
dent H. l. Miller of the Chicago 4
Eastern IlliIoi is the man who has
hit upon this novel form Of diversified
farming as relief from business

show the farmers OF the grain belt that
200 acres CT terrapins and guinea pigs
will pay bigger dividends than even
so cent corn.
The farm is located at Darlington,
a suburb of Chicago, and is a tract Of
rolling, t,nbered land. Numerous L.
goons and roads are being dug at vari
GUS points on the property, and IN
elaborate system of irrigating dEches
will be established. The guinea pig
yards will cover several acres and will
be the largest, 1t is expected, in the
country. The mushrooms will be al.
lowed to grow wild. wherever they will

the woods.
With the starting OF the farm comes
to light some: interesting facts 1bout

that over 10000 turtles are CONSUMED

of them are terrarin. but the greater
part are mud turtles, soft SHELLS and

Horticultural Notes
Native Fruits.
BY Frank Simons

NdSsV0 VTUIISs
We have fifteen kinds of native
wild fruits growing in the Missouri
valley. They consist of the plum,
black and red cherry, juneberry,
burberry, blackhaw, high bush Gran
berry, current, gooseberry, black and
red raspberry, grape, strawberry and
Indian cranberry. We have one nut,
the hazelnut. 3
Some of these fruits may he found
anywhere where brush are found
growing.
The natural home of our wild fruits
are on the bottom lands along the
Missouri river and its tributaries.
They are found along the creeks,
coolies and deep revines emptying in
to these streams. The northern and
northeastern slopes are a favorite
home of these fruits, as they are
partly protected from the intense
drying rays Of the sun. These fruits
are seldom found on the southern and
southeastern slopes. Around the
springs that issue from the bottom
Of the bluffs bordering on the high
prairie we find our wild fruits.
Another favorite location for our
native fruits is the upper end Of the
timber points along the river and at
the foot Of the steep bank which
faces the bench lands along the river.
There are but: few farms along the
river but have some of the - native
fruit patches. A few hours during the
winter spent in trimming these wild
fruit trees and thinning out these
clumps, cutting away the other brush
that will take away some of the kim
dred moisture would bring large re-
turns for the time and labor spent in
fruit that is better than no fruit at
all. .zs. = =, q.
The wild fruit trees can he grated
and budded to improved sorts at any
time. :: ~.
Severe pruning is absolutely neces-
sary to produce large fruit in dry
climate like GUS. >r"E@'' =
These brush patches are the ideal
location to plant the improved fruits
in fact the only place that fruit can
be grown successfully with ordinary
care and moisture.
