PREPARING THE
FAMILY GARDEN
Suggestions Regarding Proper
Quantity of Seed to Plant to
Supply Family of Sax With
Vegetables.

People who have not made study
OF gardening are sometimes puzzled
to know how much of each kind OF
vegetable to plant. The following
quantities will be sufficient to supply
an average family. say of six persons:
Asparagus-Furrows 20 feet long
and three feet apart.
Artichokes-Oneo ounce of seed will
furnish an ample supply.
Pole Beans-Two quarts planted
one week apart.
Lima Beans-One quart planted one
week apart.
Beets-Two ounces OF seed.
Brussels Sprouts-One ounce of
seed. This is one OF the most de-
licious vegetables raised and should
be in every garden.
Carrots--One ounce OF seed.
Caulifower-One ounce OF seed.
This is another excellent vegetable
which is much neglected in the aver.
age farm garden.
Celery-One ounce of seed will pro-
duce about fifteen hundred plants.
Sweet Corn-One pint of seed for
each planting. This should be planted
about ten days apart
Cucumbers-One-hal ounce OF seed
will plant rs hills.
Lettuce-One-half ounce OF seed
Sow ten days apart
Onions-Plant two rows Is feet
long, making three paintings ten days
apart
Peas-Did anybody ever raise too
many peas? Plant one quart at q
planting about ten days apart.
Peppers-One-half ounce OF seed

Value of the Hoo.

Radishes-Sow one-half ounce every
three weeks.

spinach-Sow two ounces of seed

Squash-One ounce OF seed will
plant about twenty hills.
Turnips-One ounce OF seed sown
broadcast will produce big cast. Sow
thinly and do not be afraid to thin
out after the plants come up.

mistake Of planting vegetables too

FILED FIRST CLAIM
Daniel Freeman Got Homestead
Number One.
AS a Soldier In Nebraska In 1882 he
Took Advantage Of the Law I'M
mediately After 1t Went
Into Effect.

Lincoln, Neb.-When Daniel Free
man filed on the first free home pro-
vided for free men, at one minute past
twelve o'clock on the morning OF Jan
uary l, 1863, he inaugurated the his
tory of homestead entries, which have
since developed the western prairies
into the heart of American agricul-
ture. The Freeman homer is at Brown
Vile, Neb., on the quarter-section OF
land for which the first patent was is
sued. He always regarded this old
patent as one OF the most interesting
and valuable relics of American his
tory. It's face indicates that Freeman
made entry No. 1, his proof of resi-
dence was No. 1, his patent is No. l,
recorded on page No. 1 of book No. l,
in the United States land office.
Freeman's name Is linked with that
of Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania,
once speaker of the lower house of
congress, and whose maiden speech in
the house was on the subject OF
MANS Right to the Soil" That speech
was made in 1852, but it was not until
ten years later that he vas able to see
his measure, the homestead law, re-
corded In the statute books.
Freeman at that time was a young
soldier, detailed to perform a secret
mission at Brownville, Neb., where the
first United States land office was
opened. The presence Of many pro-
spective settlers awaiting the opening
January 1, 1863, of the land office, to
take advantage of the homestead law,
attracted Freeman to the idea of Sc
curing a free home. On December 80,
however, he was ordered to report
in st. Louis for a new assignment. To
add to his troubles, January / was a
legal holiday. The young soldier,
nothing daunted, sought out James
Bedford, who had charge of the gov
eminent land office, and told him his
troubles. Bedford agreed to sign the
filing papers following the stroke of
midnight the following night IL Free
man could secure the consent of other

to a bunch of old letters. The Spins

was a sniff and then a snort as Spin
after Spin recalled wives and mothers
who are alone from daylight till dark,
except when some member Of the FAM
ily wants waiting on. The shifting
and snorting increased in volume as
Spin after Spin told of her freedom
from worry, her independence in
financial matters and the joy Of doing
as she pleased. but we must not
take offense at what our sister has
said" one Spin remarked. Let us
show our good intentions by calling

and though the Spins have devoted
every afternoon and evening since to
this missionary work, they haven't
made half the rounds yet.-Atchison

BABY's SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three Of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what 1t was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally / got a set of the Cuttcura
Remedies and l am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
and a half to see if 1t would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. / hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their po~cket-books. John Leason,
