It profitable to devote to his home
garden the small amount Of land and
the small amount Of labor that 1t re-
quires. The amount Of land depends,
of course, upon the size Of the family.
In a majority of cases, however, from
one-fourth to one-half of an acre will
be found sufficient to produce an ade
quate supply of vegetables throughout
the entire year. Close attention must,
of course, be paid to the rotation and
succession of crops, the planting
planned with forethought, and the cul-
tivation done as carefully as that OF
any field crop. No specific arrange
ment can be laid down that would suit
all requirements, aud each grower
must devise plans to meet his own
conditions. In this he is strongly
urged to seek the assistance which
county agents, state agricultural ex-
pertinent stations, and the federal de-
partment of agriculture can give him.
There are, however, certain funda-
mental principles which apply equally
to all gardens. The garden should al

1t is safe to say that the returns from

purpose would be from eight to ten
times greater than the value Of the

will refuse to believe this. 1t is, how

several years past, canning-club girls

worth $500 were raised on seven-tenths
of an acre. The usefulness Of the gar
den, however, cannot be measured IN
money alone, and no man can afford to
ignore the important part that an ade-
auate supply of fresh vegetables plays
in preserving the health Of his fam
lily.
1t Is obvious that when man buys
vegetables he not only pays for the

That's a long time to wait.
Why not start now and learn no"

Get your father to let you take

don't lay any eggs. They are only
loafers who eat up all the profits
which the good hens make for you.

Select the breeding sows from early

months old. One can form an opinion
which ones are most likely to prove
long-bodied, good-formed, Of quiet dis,

tendency to grow frame and size rath-
er than put on an excess of fat. Breed
the gilt when about ten months old,
and if she proves herself good

success of the movement must be
credited solely to the numerous in
fiuential forces which, contributed to-
ward it's adoption. Concerning this
point the Minneapolis Tribune, which
did much to advertise the amendment,
says:
"Some enmity exists in the pres

parently, upon the belief that the
service illegally diverted part of the

the Ninth Amendment) to success
