PREPARING THE
FAMILY GARDEN
Sug9estiona Regarding Proper
Quantity of Seed to Plant to
Supply Family of Six With
Vegetables.

People who have not made a 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-One 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-ha ounce Of seed
will plant 25 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 Hog.

No animal on the farm is better
adapted to turning good feed quickly
into marketable meat than the hog
and none can better repay, from q
market standpoint, discriminating
system of feeding. This is particu
larly true as to first costs. for the hog
is by nature planned to utilize the
least expensive feeds. and will manu-
facture into toothsome pork much
that might otherwise be reckoned OF
little value, If not waste. In any phase
of farm economy the hog is feature
and his proper feeding has in innumer.
able instances been the factor that
kept farms profit on the right side
of the ledger.

you can double the yield Of strawber-
ries by making the soil very rich, you
will be more than repaid by adding
this excessive supply of fertility.
Remember that your strawberry
plantation will require no more hoe
ing, wedding or horse cultivation on
rich soil than on poor soil. Thus, If
you can Increase the yield one hun
dred per cent. by adding $50 worth OF
commercial fertilizers or other fer
tilizers. you can readily see how profit
able will be the investment.
1t is true that you can raise a good
fair crop Of Strawberries on almost
any soil which will produce a good
fair crop Of corn or potatoes. Most
people are satisfied with an ordinary
crop Of Strawberries, such as can be
secured on this ordinary soil, but you
can make no better investment than
to heavily fertilize every inch of the
land you have planted to strawber-
ries.

Cream Cheese.

Genuine cream cheese is made from
a rich cream thickened by souring, or
from sweet cream thickened with
rennet This is put in a cloth and al
lowed to drain. the cloth being changed
several times during the draining,
which requires about four days. 1t is
then placed on a board covered with
cloth, sprinkled with salt, and
turned occasionally. 1t is ready for
consumption in from five to ten days.

Radishes-Sow one-half ounce every
three weeks.
Rhubarb-One dozen roots will last
family lifetime.
in drills.
Squash-One ounce of seed will
plant about twenty hills.
Turnips-One ounce Of seed sown
broadcast will produce a big cast. Sow
thinly and do not be afraid to tt in
out after the plants come up.
Amateur gardeners often make the
mistake Of planting vegetables too
close together. Plants having large
foliage such as tomatoes. peas and
beans should be given plenty Of room
in order that the sunshine may reach
all parts.

Of Interest

The Easter glory is on the earth The
bare, brown face of nature is clothed in
vernal beauty, and the heart of the
Christian world is lifted in prayer AMI
praise. The perfume of flowers fills the
air and rises like incense from roses,
fresh roses for adjoining temple stairs
and sacred aisles."
World-weary mortals, sick of sin and
shining, worn with greed and gain, bend
the knee in deep humility today, to Him
who died that we might live. And the
temple of the living God without which
there would be anarchy, strife and death
eternal, is the holy shrine of worship
for the followers of Christ the Lord.
Out in that silent city" where our
loved ones sleep, the breath of God
seems to touch them and speak the
blessed words of resurrection and of
life. Yes, It's Easter Sunday and all
the air is filled with fragrance and with
joy

O'SHEE'S INVENTION
Heating and Lighting Gas Generated
from Wood.

The Natchitoches Enterprise says
Richard O'Shee, a grocerynan of Alex
andria, has patented a device to generate
heating and lighting gas from any kind
of wood. He calculates that one cord OF
wood valued at from $2.5o to $500 will
be sufficient to furnish gas enough to
light a Io-room house for twelve months
and this gas can be also used for cook
ing and heating purposes. Mr.. OShee
used it in his own home before obtain
ing the patent. and has demonstrated the
practical feasibility of his plan in the
presence of his friends, we'll known
Alexandrians.
We would like to see this patent per
fected and put on the market at an early
date, and if if possesses half the merit
that its maker claims. We will guarantee
that it will be universally adopted ii
Natchiteches as well as elsewhere.

MRS. RORER'S LESSONS.

How to Cook Vegetables: Cook veg
etables in uncovered vessels. They
should always go over the fire i'll boiling
water. Under ground vegetables shoulc
be sailed when partly done. Greeh veg,
etables should have salt added to the
water when they first go on the fire.
Rice and maCarOni should be boiled rap
idly, not that the water is hotter, but
the motion of the water separates the
particles, which prevents them from be-
ing pasty and heavy. Potatoes are al
ways best and most economical when
cooked in their jackets. In peeling, how
ever, it is best to take the peellng
around the length of the potato. The
starchy and most nutritious part of the
potato lies near the skin, if heavy feel
ing is taken off, one that will remove
the eyes" two-thirds of the nourish-
ment is thrown away.
Cold Slaw: Take hard, white head,
shave it as fine as possible, wash in two
or three cold waters, and soak in very
cold water for an hour Drain, wiring it
dry in a towel, put in salad dish, pour
over French Dressing and serve at
once
Boiled Cabbage: Chop fine loose
head of cabbage, soak in cold water,
drain and put in boiling sailed water.

EASTER WEEK.

See the land, her Easter keeping
Rises as her Maker rose.
Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping,
Burst at last from winters SHOWS.
Earth with heaven above rejoices,
Fields and gardens hail the spring,
Shaughs and woodlands ring with voices
While the wild birds build and sing
You, to whom your Maker granted
Powers to those sweet birds unknown,
Use the craft by God implanted,
Use the reason not your own.
Here, while heaven and earth rejoices,
Each his Easter tribute sing
Work of fingers, chant of voices,
Like the birds who build and sing.

Easter is the grandest festival in the
Christian church, for it commentaries
the resurrection of our Lord and de-
monstrates that his atonement satisfied
the claims of divine justice and that
mans redemption is complete. No day
in the year should be celebrated with
greater festivity and holier Joy. The
word Easter is derived from the Anglo
Saxon goddess Ohtra or Oster. The
question was settled at the Council of
Nice, when it was decided to be kept on
the first Sunday following the full moon
which falls on or next after March Fl.

t1ans as the most holy feast" the great

OPPOSITION TO ROCKEFELLER
pT AN

Mr. RockefeIler's plan to have himself
and his millions incorporated national
charter, in order to promote the general
welfare of the human race, Is not to be
carried out without some opposition.
Among those who have publicly stated
their disapproval are men so far apart
in ways of thinking as former President
Eliot of Harvard University and Thos.
L. Hisgen, who was the independent
candidate for president in 1908 The OBJ
jectors say that the proposed Rockefel-
Ter Foundation charter would make a
corporation that could never be con-
trolled by the government and the peo-
pie. 1t might be used for bad purposes
as we'll as for good purposes. It might
employ its vast stores of money to spec
ulate to make or break the stock mar
ket; to cause panlcs that it might buy
stocks and bonds at a lower price; to
aid rebellion; to corrupt Congress; to
carry presneid ellatif (vbgkqj xzdhfffixz
carry presidential elections. President
Eliot says it would be sure to become a
political machine One great objection
is that it would put the Rockefeller for
tune where it could not be taxed. In
spite of such objections it seems prob
able that the charter will be granted.
