Caulifiower ID one of the crops that
should be in every garden. even II not
for commercial purposes. This vege-
table is peculiar In its demands OF soil
and climate. In the east, where 1t is
grown for market purposes. It Is
thought to be doing well IL one-half
Of the plants make heads that weigh
from one to two pounds. Cauliflower
demands cool weather and a soil that
Is fairly strong In nitrogen and also
well supplied with phosphorus and
potassium.
The culture of this vegetable is the
same as that for cabbage. with the
additional work Of going through the
field every day or two after the heads
begin to form and tying together the
heads from coloring. II this is neg
lected. the vegetable is ruined for
both market and family use.
Do not allow the garden to grow up
to weeds after the first early crops.
but keep the surface clean and in
cultivation during all the growing
months.
Home mixed fertilizers are the most
desirable for the market gardener.
Nearly every gardener grows a diver
sified list Of vegetables. which vary
more or less in food requirements.
and the feeding problem is entirely
under his control when the rations
are mixed at home.

LIKE MAGIC"
New Food Makes Wonderful Changes.

When a man has suffered from dys-
pepsia SO many years that he can't re-
member when he had a natural appe-
tite, and then hits on way out of
trouble he may be excused for saying
at acts like magic"
When 1t is a simple. wholesome
food instead Of any one Of a large num-
ber Of SO called remedies in the form
Of drugs, he is more than ever likely
to feel as though a sort Of miracle has
been performed.
A Chicago man, In the delight of re-
stored digestion, puts 1t in this way:
Like magic. fittingly describes the
manner in which Grape-Nuts relieved
me Of poor digestion, coated tongue
and loss of appetite, Of many years
standing.
II tried about every medicine that
was recommended to me. without re-
lief. Then tried Grape-Nuts on the
suggestion of friend. BY the time
I had finished the fourth package, my
stomach was all right, and for the past
two months have been eating with
a relish anything set before me. That
is something 1 had been unable to do
previously for years.
II am stronger than ever and con-
slider the effects Of Grape-Nuts on q
weak stomach as something really
wonderful. 1t builds up the entire
body as we'll as the brain and nerves."

Using HEDGES Profitable.

The hedge Is one of the most valu.
able landscape assets that we have.
and at the same time one of the most
abused. Tremendously popular twenty
years ago. It fell rapidly into disuse
about the same time that the front
yard fence began to be abolished. The
ornamental hedge is beginning to
come back to its proper field now. and
we trust that 1t will be more generally
used, in its proper place.
The formal hedge. particularly the
evergreen hedge. has not place on the
small lot. It Is as much out of place
as six two-story Ionic pillars in front
Of portable bungalow. And that
means that hedges of any kind are in
bad taste on most small lots.
If the house itself is not close to the
sidewalk, or 1t is desirable to use a
hedge on a small lot because of un-
usual conditions. use a low, informal
hedge such as barberry or Japanese
ounce.
The great field of the hedge is as
beautiful boundary partition on large
grounds, or as a screen to furnish pri-
vacy and shut out disagreeable views.
In such locations the evergreen
is equally effective in winter and sum-
mer. its life Is from fifteen to twenty
years. and 1t forms an excellent back
ground for deciduous planting.
Use American arborvitae for the
lower hedges and hemlock for the tree
hedges. The effect is somber and the
view from the house will be bright
ened by planting few Colorado blue
spruce and a line of red barked flow
ering dogwood against the hedge.
More graceful and cheering effects
can be secured by putting in Califor-
mia privet. barberry or Japanese
ounce. and they are fully as satisfac-
tory in their own way.
For screens nothing can surpass
hemlock or some of our beautiful de-
ciduous shrubs. such as the hardy
lilacs and syringas.
In moist, cool regions. such as pre-
vail along the coast line of New Eng
land. the boxwood plant is almost uni
versally used. and 1t makes a hedge
as smooth and solid looking as a bank
OF turf.
Planting directions vary with the
season. the soil and the plants used;
hence we cannot cover them all in this
article.
Hedges may be planted successful
ly at any time of the year that the
ground can be worked, but spring and
fall are the best times. Be sure to
fertilize well and plant thickly enough.
About SIS worth of plants will make
an ordinary hedge 200 feet long.

HEAVY SEED DOES
NOT INCREASE YIELD
Tests Made at Nebraska Expert
ment Station on Different
Sized Kernels of Interest.
(By JAMES d. MARSHALL. Colorado
Agricultural College.)

(By JAMES d. MARSHALL. Colorado
Agricultural College.)
During the past ten years a great
many experiments have been conduct
ed by various experiment stations to
determine the relative effect of diff
ferent-sized kernels on the quantity
and quality of grain produced per
acre. The work at the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station. is worthy of note on
this particular subject. Tests here
were made with wheat, the tanning
mill being used to make the seed sep
aratiors
In the tests Turkey red. a hard
winter wheat, and Big Frame. a soft
winter wheat, were used. A lot of
seed from each of the above varieties
was separated into two parts. the
heavier and the lighter halves.
These were again separated into the
"heaviest heavy" and the ''lightest
light" being sown. To check results
ordinary seed as 1t came from the
separator was planted.
. The same method was followed each
;ear for period of eight years. The
seed from each crop of the heaviest
heavy and the ''lightest light" was
separated and only the heaviest quar-
ter of the heaviest heavy" and the
lightest quarter of the ''lightest light"
were used for seed.
At the end of the experiment the
average yields for the three kinds of
seeds were practically the same while
the average weights per bushel from
the crops harvested showed hardly
any difference in favor of any one Sc
lection of the heaviest seed for par
ticular kind of seed. From the above
results It is evident that the selec-
tion of the heaviest seed for sowing
purposes will not materially increase
the yield per acre or the weight per
bushel of the crop harvested.

Much can be done to safeguard the
milk supply of the cities; much is be-
ing done now and more will be done
In the future, as fast as the public
awakes to the tremendous Importance
of the subject.
One of the quickest ways to get re
suits In your campaign to protect your
own family from impure milk is to
thoroughly investigate the source OF
supply and see that the milk comes
from healthy cows, and is handled
In such way that 1t reaches you
within twelve hours after milking that
1t has not been warmer than so de-
grees since milking, and that there
has been no possible chance of dust OF
dirt OF any character getting into 1t.

way to secure pure milk, at the lowest
possible cost is to keep a COW your
self, If your circumstances will permit
All you will need is small stable.
and a lot of paddock where the COW
can get out into the fresh air for ex-
ercise. Even under city or suburban
conditions milk can be produced for
from three to Ave cents a quart, buy.
ing all the feed. Many a city man Ia
getting all the milk his family wants
for their own use and is selling
enough besides to pay for his cows
entire keep.
Milk, when taken from the COW in
the proper manner. is as clean as any
article of food that we have. The
sooner It reaches the consumer and
the fewer hands it has to pass
through. the smaller the opportunity
for foreign matter and disease germs
to get into 1t. The city family that
owns. feeds and milks its own COW
enjoys one Of those great privileges
that make the country better place
to live in than the city.

termination, providing the ground il
warm and the depth of covering not
too great.
Packages should be neat and clean.
AS rule small packages are best
early in the season when the prices
are high. and large packages for the
main crop. Use standard sized pack
ages and give full measure. Nothing
is gained in the end by short measure.
When possible 1t is best to grow
vegetables on a large scale to sell to
the wholesale trade instead of retail
ing. The successful gardener finds
his time too valuable to peddle his
vegetables.
Crops must be gathered in proper
condition and sent to the market
fresh and clean. Careful grading is
essential A few inferior specimens
in a package are the first to attract
attention. Even a few specimens will
knock of more from the price OF the
package than they are worth.
Remove quick maturing crops as
soon as they are done bearing and
plant to others.
Cultivation should begin early. Cui-
tivators with not less than twelve
small teeth or shovels are best for
small truck crops, because they leave
the soil in ideal condition and are the
best conservers of soil moisture. A
loose and friable soil stimulates a
steady and rapid growth.
Keep out the weeds and keep the
surface soil stirred and the plants will
grow through dry and wet weather.

WILD FLOWERS MAY
BE TRANSPLANTED
Some BuIbous Plants Bear Re-
moval Without Complaint
if Given Good Site.

1t is a common rule among flower
growers that a plant should not be dis
turbed when in bloom. Yet In the
case of the bulbous wild flowers.
which die to the ground soon after
blooming and are with difficulty To-
Gated, there is a convenient excep-
ton; most of them bear removal with.
out complaint II accorded a site SINH
lar to the native home. and not a few
readily adapt themselves to the cul.
ture of garden or lawn.
A notable illustration is that of the
spring beauty, the rmine-penciled
petals OF which appear in. the first
spring days. A little later the yellow
adder's tongue is in It's glory. Both
may be grown in grass or garden, and
as they die to the ground early no OBJ
struction is offered to the lawn womer.
The bulbs grow about as much below
the surface as the leaf extends above

Hons on Alfalfa.

A Kansas farmer. who raises be-
tween 500 and 600 hogs ever year.
says that his hogs have turned into
pork by running on alfalfa pasture
with an average of about one ear of
corn per day until the last six weeks
when they are given all the corn they
will eat In addition to the alfalfa. This
farmer. who seems to know his busi-
ness. says he does not pasture SO
closely but that he is able to get two
and sometimes three cuttings per
annum from them and these will
average from three-quarters to little
over a ton per cutting. Some brains

Furnish Pure Seed.

With view Of furnishing the farm
ers of the state with pure seed. the
governor Of Massachusetts, has an
sounced that the farms connected
with the various state institutions
would raise seed and sell them at a
fair market price. This will not only
be of great benefit to the state. but
also a source of revenue to the insti
tutions. Particular attention will be
given to the raising of grass seed.

In Virginia the spinach is sown in
rows. four to each narrow. bed, rows
about nine inches apart, and In the
edge of each bed is generally a row
of cabbage set out in December, and
after the spinach is shipped. say about
March 1. the cabbages are cultivated.
and are ready for marketing in April
and early June. Millions of cabbage
plants have been SO set out In the

Value of sunflower Seed.

Sunfiower seed acts both as a food
and medicine. 1t is a grain rich in

The seeds should never be dried in
the heads. but always shelled as soon
as ripe and spread out on a dry floor
where air and light will reach 1t, thus
allowing 1t to dry before becoming
musty.
