5RADIsH i { GOOD J, MONEY CROP
They Are Easy to Grow, Develop
Quickly and There 10 Little Ex'
.5gs pense In Producing Them.

For the gardener who lives near .
good market early radishes often
prove a Z money-making crop. From
the open garden, radishes are the first
crop in the spring that can be turned
into money. They are easy to grow.
develop quickly and there is little
expense IN producing them.
The first showing should be made
very early-the< first day the ground
dries on q little on top. Make another
sowing week or ten days later. and .
third q week after that. If one sowing
fails another. will come on all right.
Even though all three sowings pro
duces crops, these successive sowings
are necessary in order to provide crisp,
tender radishes for several weeks,
writes W. F. Purdue in Farm and
Home. Most varieties grow very
quickly and soon become woody and
unsuitable for use. II -
The seed can be sown broadcast or
drilled in rows foot apart Either
way is all right because crop will
make itself before any wedding Is
necessary. Use seed at the rate OF
about six pounds per acre and more
nice specimens will be produced than
II sowns thicker.
AS. soon as the first radishes are
ready to pull. select the largest and
incest. wash them we'll and tie in
punches Of six Or twelve. Early in the
season the stores pay us Eve cents per
bunch Of IL, little later ten cents for
three punches, and finally two cents
per bunch, when 1t no longer pays TO
bother with them. The remainder OF
the crop may be 'plowed under and
the ground put to something else.
The little turnip-rooted sorts are
preferred in most markets and pay
we'll. The only expense in producing
radishes Is the seed, which costs from
10 to Is cents per ounce, and the work
OF sowing the seed and harvesting the
crop. ,55 3s s.y u s}3 7

PROPER TINE 10 . SELL i: / !. HOGS
Expense Of Keeping Animals for Rise
IN Market Often Wipes Out
Al Margin Of Gain.

As a general proposition. 1t seldom
pays to carry hogs long after they
are ready for market. Feeders who
have held their hogs for rise in the
market have found that the expense
for feed wipes out all the advantages
Of = higher price later.
Gains must be made or profits will
be materially reduced. Light feed
ing is . risky speculation. because
they cannot be carried along without
expensive grain feeds. Heavy feed
ing can be continued probably to grow
ing pigs as long as supplement feeds
are fed along with the fat put on by
the corn. In this way $50 to ZOO
pound hogs can be; continued on full
feed to a weight of 200 pounds or
more and pay large proiits.
