Things Farmers Should Know
UTILIZE IDLE GROUND.
Every Available Foot Of Soil Should Be
Made to Produce.

Every Available Foot Of Soil Should Be
Made to Produce.
1t is estimated that Chicago citizens
lose 100000 per year by not utiliz-
ing their back yards for poultry, and
a glance ut back lots in city and town
all over the country shows the fact
that thousands of acres in the aggre-
gate lie idle that might return a div.
idend.
The thrifty laps make every availa-
BILE foot Of soil produce, farming noun
tains and hills that Americans
wouldn't touch.
Americans are MASTERS, but the tre-
mendous increase in the cost Of food
has driven many to see that the soil
is the ource Of the bread of life, and
many now use the back yard for vcge-
table growing or poultry and eggs.
Some use the lot for summer truck
ing and buy pullets and keep them
only for winter eggs and roasts, dis
posing of them by spring, thus raising
two crops off the same ground, the
poultry fertilizing it for vegetation.
Thousands, however, let back yards
on which they pay taxes lie idle, from
which by light labor they could Sc
cure fresh vegetables and poultry
products.
BY right methods poultry and eggs
may be easily produced in back yard
memories at n profit, and should they
even cost the market price there is
| certainly an advantage in having the
home grown product and a great sat.
; isfaction in knowing they are perfect
ly fresh and pure.
Day old chicks may be purchased
and allowed the run of the garden
patch and reach a good size before
they must be penned to protect the
truck. Many have profitable back To-
squad lofts, and in our vicinity neigh
bors raise ducks on II side of tn,
yard and truck on the other.
The day is coming when not onl.
vacant city lots, but back yards an(
even roofs. will be generally used TO
some branch Of intensive agriculture
growing population and rising OK
penses requiring such economical op
erations.

wv evidence Of possessing artis-
tic abilities, and when he
was fourteen began to study
the profession of painting. One fac
ulty he possessed was that Of endow-
ing anything which became attractive
to him through association with beauty.
Near his home lived a little girl, who
became his playmate. She was OF a
lower social grade than Walter, but his
| parents had no fear Of his falling In
love with her, for she vas very home
ly, and they, not knowing Of his dis
| position to endow what he liked with
beauty, supposed that an artist would
| only fall in love with a beautiful WO-
man.
When Walter was twenty years old
he became engaged to this girl, Martha
Gibbs, to the establishment Of every
one who knew him. Her hair was a
fiery red, her teeth were prominent,
and she had a cast in her eye. But his
parents, knowing how useless 1t is to
interfere between lovers, refrained
from any attempt in the case of their
son. Besides, they knew nothing
against Martha except her LONELINESS
and her Indifferent social position. No
! one supposed that Walter considered
his betrothed beautiful till he painted
her portrait and they observed that he
looked ut it with admiring eyes. Then
everybody realized that his love for
her caused him to endow her with a
beauty that existed only in his imagi-
nation.
Great as was their surprise at this
discovery. it was nothing compared
with their astonishment when they
learned that he was using Martha for
a model. He painted her as a shep-
herdess, as springtime and. dressing
her In fashionable attire. as a lady
Then, when his pictures found no pur
chasers, instead Of attributing his IL
success to his choice Of a model. ne
became impressed with the idea thai
he had mistaken his calling. About
the time he was making up his minC
to this effect Martha Tilted him for {
g]reengrocer, whom she married secret
w without letting her fiance know
what she was about to do.
Walters misery was only cunaled b,
the JOY of his parents IL his friends
Now that it was all owe between hin
and Martha one Of his intimate associ
ates made bold to express Wonde
that he. an artist. with an eye for tn
beautiful. should have attributed beau
ty to Martha.
".Ah.' exclaimed the unfOrtunat
man. there is a loss to me as grea
in my profession as is the wounding o
!, my feelings. Surely all hope Of m,
, succeeding in my profession has gone
since | shall never find another mode
suitable to my needs

for awhile for other avocatiOns. O.

Steers That Qualify.

Quality in Il beef animal is indicated
by the following points: Fine. soft
hair; loose. p!iable skin OF medium
thickness; dense. clean bone of me-
dunn size. The possession Of quality
does not always mean that the steer
has better feeding ability, although it
has a marked effect upon the value Of
the steer after being fattened. Excep-
tionally vigorous. rough, coarse steers
often fatten more quickly than steers
that have quality. but are delicate and
dainty eaters. For the reasons above
mentioned. the steer with good quality
usually proves the more profitable.

It is a deplorable fact that in

to the frightful condition of the

drainage from a large area,
stagnant pools form wherein
breed the deadly swamp mosqui-

unless the house-keepers do as
they always do, heat up the
house and thaw out the skeeters
until the returning warm wealth
er awakens them to pernieious

Advice: On rising, after break
fast let all hands battle in the
sunshine and open up the whole
house, sweeping the walls, es-
specially along warm chimneys
and in the attic and in cuddies,
gathering up and burning the
torpid mosquitoes, instead of do
ing this, they will huddle around
the stove and reinfection will
commence the moment the wealth
er is warm enough for the mos
quitoes to bite.

CAUSED BY OVEREATING

Deficient gastric secretion, meaning
a lack of the fluids necessary for di-
gestion, is a prevalent condition. You
may have IT now and not know it be-
cause you are able to get along with
out actual discomfort even with your
enfeebled digestion.
But If you overeat-then you are in
trouble. You have indigestion because
you have given your weakened stom-
ach too much to do. The deficient
gastric secretion was what doctors
call the pre-disposing cause, the over
eating was the exciting cause. 1t is
easy not to repeat the overeating but
the predisposing cause must be cor
rected If you are to be WELL
The secretions that digest the food
come from glands that are nourished
directly by the blood. When these
secretions are insufficient the only way
to restore their healthful condition is
by building up the blood. This can

Dancing Master Gets Disease and
the Health Boards Looking
For His Pupils

4 case of smallpox at 209 State

At least 200 persons, including dane
ing pupils, musicians, employees in
lunchroom and restaurant, and repre-
sentatives of two large manufacturing
firms, will be vaccinated and placed
under parole. Every man and woman
who has been in contact with the vic
tim during the past ten days must re-
port daily to the health department
through their physician until all dam
ger OF a spreading of the disease is
passed.
Hinkson, with his wife. conducted
dancing classes at 800 North Second
street. They roomed at 209 State
street. The I1inksons came to Harris
burg from Lebanon about six months
ago. Mr.. Hinkson was taken i'll ten

ascertain the names of the persons
with whom the victim came in contact.
