Horse manure is much better to be
mixed with other manure and worked
over by swine.
Vegetables should be roughly d.
vided into two classes-cool and
warm season crops.
AS a class, farmers are not SO apt
to be up-to-date in their methods as are
men in other callings.
In planning the garden It is well to
arrange the vegetables in the order in
which they are to be planted.
After the crops are planted, success
in the vegetable garden depends
chiefly upon thorough and frequent
tillAge

Much loss of time in the planting
Of a garden can be avoided by making
a definite plan of the garden several
weeks or even months before the
planting is to begin.

DanviIle Judge Orders Prosecutor to
Answer All Questions Put by
Jury in Bride Quiz.

Danville, 1ll.-Judge Kimbrough in
the circuit court handed down a de-
rision in the case OF City Attorney
Jones, who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and
buying which the grand jury put to
him.
The court instructed Jones to an
swer all questions. The opinion stated
that, according to a decision Of the
Supreme court of the United States,
a witness before the grand jury is
immune from indictment. The court
also held that the city election law is
unconstitutional, which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago.
This means that the investigation

now summoned are examined. 1t is

The heavier, better developed kern
