Thrifty Home Gardeners.


There Is but one practical solution
of the high cost Of living, and that is
to raise your own produce. The home
garden in great measure will do it
and do it effectively. 1t will stop the
paying Of money to the vegetable
man" and the grower-a big saving.
And those, who are so situated that
they can raise their own poultry and
eggs, milk and butter, and a pig or
two for winters meat, with change
now and then from pork to poultry,
may be said to be directly on the line
Of independence, with every cause Of
the high cost of living completely
blocked.-D. D. Lynch, ST. Paul.
The recent extension of the parcel
post system, making provision for the
direct delivery Of farm produce from
the producer to the consumer, is a
long step in the right direction to-
ward reducing the high cost of living,
as it will tend to eliminate the great
army of middlemen, now between the
producer and consumer, each Of whom
must have his "bit" added to the final
cost before 1t reaches the consumer
But this alone will not reduce the
high cost Of living, for it is not at all
likely that the farmer will continue to
sell his produce at the present price,
when he, finds the middleman re-
moved, but will proportionately raise
the price. So the delivery direct from
the producer to consumer eventually
will prove Of greatest benefit to the
farmer.
Perhaps it is only a matter of time
when every man Of family who de-
ponds upon his daily wage will be
forced to press into producing service
a portion of his back yard, even
though he may have but a single lot,
as a plot for home garden, to reduce
the present cost of living. !.t
And right now is the time to con-
slider this matter II. you are going to
do anything in the home gardening
line this year.. raising vegetables to
lower your individual cost of living
and to enable you to have a larger
margin OF savings in the bank.
The seed. companies iwiil furnish
you with catalogues and at the hard
ware store you can get the few neces-
sary tools. Then go to work. You
will learn by experience, and your
health and your appetite will improve
while you turn barrenness into beauty
and your backyard desert into an
oasis of productiveness.
And here is hint which you will
find valuable If you really want to
save money by means Of your home
garden-plant and cultivate not only
those things which you can eat right
out Of the garden during the summer
but also some vegetables that you can

walls OF the famous mansion. In the
identical room where she today will
take the husband Of her choice, "for
better, for worse" beautiful Francis
Folsom became the wife, twenty-eight
years ago, of the then president Of
the United States, Grover Cleveland;
and only a few months ago, the sister
of the bride of today, Miss Jessie
Wilson, was united in marriage, in the
magnificent East room of the White
House, to Francis B. Sayre.
The White House is hallowed in the
memory of one other May bride, be-
loved Nellie Grant, who, forty years
ago. was married in the East room to
an English gentleman, Algernon c. F.

unique in respect Of the principals,

The Town Garden.

What the Charleston Mail says
about the town garden in its city ap-
plies very well here. 1t is gratifying
to know that Clarksburg has number
of gardens and 1t ought to have more.
1t would have, If indifference and a
degree of laziness, perhaps; were cast
aside. Only those who have town
gardens really appreciate their great
value. The Mail very well tells as
follows of some of the value:
The popularity of the town garden,
or rather the city garden, is a thing OF
recent years-at least that is the case
with Charleston, with few rare e&-
ceptions. The practice has been grow
ing, and as the practice has grown so
has its popularity grown. 1t is health
full, even II at times somewhat pain
full The results vary with the soil,
the cultivation and the experience, the
perseverance and the industry of the
gardener. Something likewise is to
be credited to the season..
There is no vegetable so fine as that
which is the product of ones own toll
and care. Leaving out of question the
fact that the vegetable is fresh,
brought in with the dripping morning
dew upon it, there is the pride in
ones work of which this particular
Vegetable is specimen. Beans, Gu
cumbers, tomatoes that ripen on the
vine, peas fresh from the vine, lettuce
that is crisp with its very freshness.
radishes that melt like Strawberries
these are not found at the shops;
they come out of the backyard gar
dens.
Then there is the question of cost.
Gardens are the most inveterate
enemies of the high cost of living in
the summer time, Any kind Of a
back yard will do, although some
kinds are better than others. And now
Is the time. The possessor of a back
yard garden that Is carefully looked

Don't XIII the Birds.

How many persons remember tile
beautiful verses in one OF the old
time school readers on Don't Kill
the Birds?" 1t taught lesson we'll
worth while, but today ruthless dis
regard for the sentiment those verses
contained is being shown. The matter
of slaughtering native birds is serious.
AS Connellsytlle exchange says in
recent years the preservation and
propagation OF native song birds
have come to be regarded as highly
essential Special officers have been
appointed to look after. their safety
and to bring to Justice those who ruth
lessly destroy them. Societies have
been formed whose only object have
been to prevent the Staying Of the
feathered songsters and to add to their
numbers instead OF depicting their
ranks
1t might not, therefore, be untimc-
ly, to call to the attention OF the
properly constituted officials the
slaughtering of robins, blackbirds,
cat-birds, in fact all of the old fav
orites right on the very edge of the
city limits The shrubbery along lisa
bella Road teens with the very best
examples of native bird life, but it
will not TEEN long unless something
is done to stop certain depredations
in that vicinity. The killing of wild
birds near Connellsville is not being
done by foreigners, but by thought
less American boys. of between 10
and II years in possession of their
first guns. Residents of the vicinity
have complained and now threaten
the penalty of the law if it is not
stopped. Such threats should not be
necessary in the case of American
boys. Native pride and knowledge
of Just what these birds mean to the
community should be all that is nee
essary to influence their actions.
