REAL GARDEN is NECESSITY
Demand for First-class Vegetables Is
Almost Everywhere dissatisfied
in Southern States.

Almost every farm has some sort of
a garden, but the great majority
have been regarded in a careless way
and given but little attention, and as
a consequence have never yielded
anything to compare with a we'll
made garden. The trucking and mar
ket garden industry, while it has been
a great thing in some sections, it as
yet poorly developed in most of the
south, although the demand for first
class vegetables is almost everywhere
unsatisfied.
With the proper understanding OF
the possibilities of home gardening
in adding to the pleasures Of farm
life, and the profits to be made from
market gardening, the South will no
doubt become noted as a land of gar
dens. The time has come for the real
garden to set aside the old makeshift
garden, which was in summer little
patch of beans and roasting ears, and
in the fall afforded few collards and
turnips. The real garden will be a
well-cared for plat of land, where can
be and where will be grown variety
at vegetables through long season.

USING SCIENCE IN FARMING
Many Farmers Imagine Modern Meth
DDS to Be Subtle Theories,
SenseIess and Useless.

Webster says science is:
knowledge; knowledge Of principles
or facts.
Many farmers have disposition to
sneer at science in farming. They
imagine science to be a subtle theory
introduced by college professors to
dazzle and impress man with their su-
periority, but altogether senseless and
therefore useless.
But science is nothing more than
knowledge-to know, not to guess or
theorize. 1t means proof of princi-
pies and facts.
Science in farming is to know the
soil: how the air and moisture and
fortified work upon It; how seed are
formed, grow and ripen.
Science is to know when to pillow
and SOW and reap; how to make every
step and every swing Of the arms
count for something; how to save and
prevent waste and how to increase the
yield of seed and animals at the least
expense.
Science means just everyday horse
sense applied to everyday affairs. 1t
Is to think and know and find out
about things by ones own experience
or by the experience OF others.

SHARING WITH HIRED HELP
Farmer Would Find II Profitable to Re-
ward Generously Results Of Little
Cooperation.

One of the evolutions in modern
the so-ealled profit-sharing plan of dis
tributing share of the profits of a
business among the employees who
have helped to make those profits. A
large number of the largest business
institutions in the country have in
augurated this highly commendable
plan of giving the Iaborer his due re-
ward for faithful service. The BUSH
ness man reaps his reward by being
able to secure more efficient and con-
scientious service from employees. The
scheme simply injects a little person
atty and human sentiment into sordid
business affairs and makes a man q
little less of a machine.
The suggestion mas been made that
the profit-sharing idea might profit
ably be extended to the farm and this
appears to us to be good suggestion,
says the Farm and Home. For in
stance, If your hired man gives to you
unusually good service and is willing
to do more than the fair thing by you.
why can you not stimulate this spirit
by promising in advance a cash bonus
or share of the proceeds of the crop
in return for this aid? Extend this
plan to the boys. Would it not pay
you to reward generously the results
of little cooperation? Set a reason
able mark for the yield of your corn
field or the output of the dairy barn.
To the boy or man who can increase
the average, offer share of such in
crease. This is only one of many
ways in which you can apply this
profit-sharing idea. If you keep books,
and you should do this, it is easy to
figure out such a scheme.
The farmer is a capitalist and a
business man in a certain sense. The
soil is his capital. He accumulated
this capital partly by hard work and
partly because Providence permitted
him to live in country and in day
when he could by thrift acquire such
capital. But the farmer owes a GER
tain debt to his co-laborers whose
only capital is labor. Give these CO.
laborers a square deal. The profit
sharing plan affords this opportunity
and 1t costs nothing because it gives
/ you greater efficiency. Give the good
wife, the boys and girls, and the hired
man, all of whom help you to make a
success of farming. their share of the
| results of their labor

ESQUIMAU GOES FOR BRIDE

addition to his other studies.

We have seen field crops where the
weeds between the rows were more
valuable than the vegetables if only
the farmer had known how to use
the plants he considered as only trou-
blesome.
There are shipped from the country
every year 100000 worth Of plants
commonly known as weeds. These
plants for the most part grow at their
own sweet will, by the roadside, in
neglected fence corners and in the
fields owned by lazy men.

profit and this without paying any at

FOLIAGE OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Trees and Plants Breathe Through
Their Leaves and Therefore Should
Be Given Care.

The foliage of tree, plant or vine
is the important part of all growing
vegetation. Trees and plants can
only be vigorous and healthy when
the foliage is healthy and vigorous.
Trees and plants breathe through
their leaves. They are the source
of respiration. They take up carbo-
bonic gas which is detrimental to
mankind and throw of oxygen which
is necessary to human life.
The leaves of trees and plants are
like the,governors on an engine, they
control and regulate the entire ma
chine. Fruits, flowers and vege-
tables can only reach perfection
through the aid of healthy foliage.
Therefore, farmers in particular
should see to 1t that the foliage on
growing crops is kept in proper con-
dition. This, however, applies to the
home garden in city or village as
much as it does to the farmer.

) Cooperative Laws

In all but two or three states of the
union cooperative organizations which
want to be truly cooperative must do
it by circumventing the law. This is
because the corporation laws in most
states do not recognize cooperative
companies, and the lawmakers do not
realize the need of special laws
adapted especially to such organiza-
lions. Special incorporation laws for
cooperative companies, similar to
those of Wisconsin, would do much to
encourage this form of organization
among farmers.
