KEEP THE GARDEN GOING.
Some OF the Crops That You Should
BE Planting Now.

Messrs. Editors: The statement
can be safely made that well-kept
garden can be made to yield a re-
turn ten to twenty times greater than
the same area in general farm crops.
But mark the statement that 1t must
be we'll kept. and one feature of a
well-kept garden must be a number
of varieties and frequent paintings
OF many of them. in order to have a
succession. If just few OF the early
maturing sorts are planted, and only
one planting made. the value of the
garden is greatly lessened.
We find it necessary to make con-
tinuous paintings of beans in order
to have constant supply. Paintings
sometimes do not do well during the
midsummer on account of the ex-
cessive heat, yet sometimes our
weather is such that they do fairly
well with proper cultivation, even
during August. Beans planted in
August often make good fall crops.
Beets should be planted every four
or five weeks until late in the sum-
mer. Beets intended for winter stor-
age should not be planted until late
in the summer, and this late crop
can be harvested and stored in the
same manner as turnips.
For late cabbage some attention
should be given to the selection of
the soil. as heavy soil that has the
ability to retain moisture is very es-
sential. Also, while a very fertile
soil is preferred for early cabbage,
not SO with the later varieties, as

the novice will know what is
the cause of the disease. These
conditions are met mostly in
the South, because, it being
warmer climate, pests of all
kinds are more numerous than
in the North, and unfortunately
a good many Southern poultry
men believe in letting chickens
take care of themselves.
In the current issue of the same
journal l find this from the pen OF
Mrs. K. A. Church, San Francisco,
California:

uine cholera in the poultry yard, in
this State would be hard to find
The disease is confined to those por-
lions of our country where cholera
or yellow fever are prevalent in the
human family. In warm climates
more or less cholera prevails every
summer, and, it being essentially a
germ disease, can be communicated
from one community to another, and
the only way the disease could be
transmitted is by the introduction of
a bird from the infested district.
There are few cases where this has
been done, but by prompt action the
disease was stamped out.
1t has been the custom with most
poultry raisers on the farm to at
tribute all chicken ills to cholera,
especially if diarrhea accompanied
other symptoms. Frequently the
whole trouble was a disordered liver,
or impaired digestive organs from
lack of grit. or overlooking to force
egg production. | have cured num-
bers of cases of so-called cholera
which were nothing more than severe
cases of liver trouble and responded
readily to proper treatment.

issue of August, 1909, a Mr.. Stan
Gill, of Mississippi had this to say
on poultry diseases and parasites

injury to machinery. very little
