Never drink extremely cold water ex-

LEARNING VALUE OF
INTENSIVE FARMING
Small Areas Made to Pay Higher
Returns Proportionately
Than Larger Ones.

AS population increases, we are be-
ginning to learn the value OF inten-
sive farming, especially on land near
a good market. 1t is being demon
strated that small areas may be made
to pay as high or higher returns on
the labor and money expended, as the
larger farms. AS an example OF this.
a New Jersey truck and fruit farmer
tells of four men and two women
gathering and marketing In one day,
300 dozen ears of green corn and 80
bushels of tomatoes. and says that Is
a fair sample of the work done dur
ing last summer. He does not men,
ton the prices received for the days

own computation from the prices re-
ceived in HIS nearest inarket, and will

Be careful how you introduce new
plants into your garden, even though
they come under the guise Of friend
ship. The loved morning glory be-
comes one of the worst weeds In the
sandy soil Of the West. If a plant
shows an inclination to usurp too
much space, weed 1t out.
When gathering in the vegetables,
do not discard the little beets and tur-
nips as worthless They make ideal
food for the poultry.
The careful gardener makes sure
that his tools are all housed. and not
left to the mercy Of the weather. II
any have special attachments, see that
they are put with the machine. 1t Is
a great annoyance at planting time to
be obliged to hunt here and there for
the various parts.
Keep the pumpkins and squashes In
a dry place, where they will not chill,
II you Wish them to keep well. Melons
may be kept In prime condition in the
hay NOW for some weeks. We see no
reason why hay. poor conductor of
temperature, should not always prove
a good storage medium for the
squashes and pumpkins desired late in
the season.

BIG Improvement
OF THE CLAY LAND
Difficulty in Some Cases Exists
in Getting 0utfalI for Good
Drainage.
CBy w. r. GILBERT.)

If 1t contains much water. draining
will be a great Improvement; one or
two three-feet drains through damp
piece of land will be permanent i'm
provement, but the difficulty in some
cases is to get an outfall.
Where the outfall exists, wet land
should be drained before planting fruit
trees, and the drains should not be
less than three feet deep. More will.
in many cases, be better, as the drains
which let out water will introduce air,
and SO double Improvement will be
going on.
After draining, some of the clay
should be burnt like ballast, and after

After the vegetables are matured
there is q tendency to let the weeds
take care of themselves, and they do
1t to the tune of hundreds of thousands
of seeds annually.
Some weeds, ike the dandelion and
chickweed, grow in the winter as well
as the summer, II the weather will
give them half chance. The chick
weed, usually considered harmless,
grows In such dense patches as to lit
orally choke out every other perennial.
Try pulling II up and throwing In a
heap. You will have mass of humus
that will tighten the soil wonderfully.
Keep the weeds down in the straw
berry bed and the runners properly
directed and trimmed Even II there
are no weeds, the better the condition
Of the soil, the greater the returns.
The weed-cutting attachment to the
wheel-hoe Is excellent for this purpose,
cutting out all the plants which tend
to fill up the space beyond their prop
er limits.
Keep a sharp lookout for new weeds.
They appear in all places and at all
times Some Of them may prove hard
to get rid Of If they get strong foot

II. Silage can be used for supple
