BIG RETURNS FROM GARDEN.
Supplies For Entire Family Obtained
From Limited Space.

1t is astonishing the amount of gar
den produce one may raise on a small
patch of ground. Last year from a
pot 75x132 feet family of four were
supplied with fresh vegetables all sum-
mer. Besides using all the early pota-
toes needed, 80 bushels were put into
the cellar together with enough on
ions, carrots, parsnips, satisfy and
cabbage to supply the family for the
winter, writes an authority in Farm
and Home.
Six 50-foot rows of sweet corn fur
nished all we could use and can. Five
5O-foot rows Of popcorn produced IL
bushels. One 50-foot row of string
beans by carefully picking that none
got too old, provided the family with
these besides enough to pickle and
can 2S quarts. Not pod was wasted.
One 50-foot row of beets sufficed for
summer pickles, canning 25 quarts,
and as much more to give away. Thir-
ty tomato plants furnished enough for
use fresh and the winters supply of
canned tomatoes, besides selling two
bushels. rT
Berries and Asparagus.
From 80 currant bushes, 10 goose
berry bushes, and three 50-foot rows

Professor p. G. Holden, the well

educational in nature.
Professor Holden Is one of the few
men who now stand head and Shout
ders above all others in educational
extension work Our experiment
stations have worked for years OBJ
tanning and collecting information
along agricultural lines. The usual
way of distributing this has been
through bulletins and other publica-
tons. which method. although It Is
good. lacks the effectiveness of per-
sonal contact In getting the facts
to the farmer in an effective way Is
where the professor excels.
He received his early training In
Michigan, later in Illinois, and devel-
oped his great extension work in the
State OF Iowa 1t was due to his ef-
forts that the first demonstration
train was equipped and operated. He
also has established county demon
stration work on county poor farms,
winter short courses, boys corn clubs.
and other forms of extension work
which have helped greatly in the d.

last eight years over the period of

Since the Service Bureau was or
ganized two years ago. it has accom-
plished much in the field Of agricul.
tural education. 1t now has three
demonstration farms in the south and
two in the west. it has distributed
good alfalfa seed in some sections Of
the corn belt: also published many
booklets. prepared articles for the
press, offered handsome prizes for
the best yields of grain, has come
in close contact with the rural
schools. presented illustrated lectures
to thousands of audiences, establish

many other things for the advance.

GRASSES FOR WET LANDS

d. McWhinnie, OF Hearnleigh, Al

half of that is covered with water in
the spring, which dries out about the
middle of May so that one can work
the land. had thought that l could
grow hay on it if could get the grass

kind of hay, and the best way to get
this land started in grass?"
If this land can be drained, the best
thing to do is to drain it either by
using open bitches or tile. otherwise
handle.
The water standing on the soil will
kill out most of the tame grasses.
Canadian blue grass and Kentucky
blue grass are grown to some extent
in parts of Canada for pasture pur.
poses. Very few of the tame grasses
will do so well on soils that are wet.
The wild grasses, as rule, grow very
well on wet land. The grasses that
do best on wet land are red top, fowl
meadow grass, combined with alsike
clover. Timothy will do fairly we'll,
and may be started by simply sowing
the seed without any cultivation. We
have had no experience, however. with
these grasses in your section, and this
is only a suggestion on our part.
The amount of seed to be sown de-
ponds on the kind of seed used. II
the redtop, re-cleaned seed is used,
two or three pounds per acre will be
sufficient, while If the ordinary seed
is grown, twelve to fifteen pounds
of alsike clover seed per acre should
be mixed with this.

PL0W OR DISK WELL
ALL FARMING LANDS

George Duncan Tilley, Alberta,
writes as follows referring to your
ad. in Calgary Herald about giving
advice on crops, etc, | should like
to have your suggestions on some
points. On prairie soil broken for the
first time in the fall of 1911, | have
harvested forty-nine acres of wheat
and forty acres of corn. The land was
plowed five inches deep. In preparing
the land for next years crop, do you
think that disking the stubble would
be sufficient, or should the land be
plowed? What crops should follow
wheat and oats?"
AS a general practice. the land should
be plowed once a year unless there are
unusual climatic conditions. If there
had been practically no rain and the
ground was very loose, you might get
satisfactory results by only disking.
However, it has been the mistake Of
great many in the northwestern
territory to think that they could
raise satisfactory crops without doing
the amount of work on the land that
they should do. The result has leen
that in many places they have worn
the land out much more rapidly than
was necessary. 1t is advisable not to
begin the practice of only disking.
Better try blowing again.
You will perhaps not need to plow
the ground any deeper than it was
plowed last year, but ordinarily the
result will warrant your doing this
by leaving part of your ground and
only disking it. and if you do We would
be very pleased to know the result.
One of the drawbacks to Canadian
farming is lack of system Of crop
rotation BY all means plan on ro-
tation of crops, which will include
wheat, oats. and barley, and some
leguminous crop. This may be clover,
alfalfa. Canadian field peas, or some
other similar crop that will do We'll In
your specific locality. II you can grow
corn, it would be we'll to include this
in your rotation

KEEPING SHREDDED FODDER

W. w. Greiner, Orange, Virginia,
writes as follows: ~ am using a
Mccormick husker and shredder this
fall. but have no storage rooms for
stoyer. My plan is to stack 1t out
side, but have been advised that there
is great danger Of losing it if stacked
outside. and cannot afford to lose it.
Can YOU advise me how to stack It so
It will keep? | can neither bale it nor
build storage rooms this fall
Shire dded fodder may lie kept either
outdoors o. inside, depending on local
conditions. If you have a great deal
of wet weather during the fall and
winter. much Of the shredded fodder
will spoil. as Is the case with any
rough feed stacked outdoors. There
will be more waste to the shredded
fodder than with the hay because of
he fact that it is finer and not
IS easily handled as hay. In ma
sections of the corn belt the shredded
fodder is stacked outdoors, but very
seldom is this done excepting where
it is impossible to put it under cover.
We would suggest that you use some
coarse hay to top the stack, and thus
prevent some Of the loss due to wet
weather.
The only danger of stacking shred
ded fodder or putting in the barn re-
suits from the fact that it is shredded
when very damp or wet. In no case
should fodder be shredded during q
damp rainy day because it will absorb
the moisture very rapidly. and If stored
when in this condition is very apt to
spoil. We have known of instances
where shredded fodder has burned up
caused by instantaneous combustion,
due to the fact that it was shredded
when too wet, or during a wet period
of weather.
If you could stack your shredded
fodder against one side of the barn,
and provide q board roof for 1t, and at
the same time have it convenient to
where you expect to feed it, you would
not lose a great deal by stacking 1t
outdoors

AN INSTRUMENT FOR

every po,htryman should employ catch
