1t profitable to devote to his home
garden the small amount of land and
the small amount of labor that it 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, and 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

IF the value of the homo garden
were to be estimated in money alone
it is safe to say that the returns from
a small plot of land devoted to this
purpose would be from eight TO ten
times greater than the value of the
cotton which could be raised on the
same area. Many southern farmers
will refuse to believe this. 1t is. how
ever. a fact that experts In agriculture
have thoroughly demonstrated. For
several years past, canning-club girls
have made annual net profits of from
twenty to fifty dollars on gardens
only one-tenth of an acre in extent,
and in Alabama this year products
worth $700 we're 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-
quate supply of fresh vegetables plays
in preserving the health of his fam
lily.
1t is obvious that when a man buys
vegetables he not only pays for the
cost of production, but for the cost
iof transportation and marketing. He
obtains, however. an inferior article.
Many vegetables lose their character
listic flavor within a few hours, and
none are so free from the danger of
! infection or so palatable as those
which are grown at home. In practice,
however, if the farmer does not grow
his own vegetables it means that in a
great majority of cases his family gets
mo vegetables at all. One result or
this is a demand for tonics and other
medicines in the spring, for 1t is a
~well-known fact hat vegetables and
fruits furnish many ingredients abso-
lutely essential to human health.
Where a monotonous winter diet fails
to supply these ingredients, the hui
mar system suffers and is

How to Prevent Colds


People who have colds, accord
ing TO the United States public
health service. are suffering
from an attack of germs which
they carry in their own mouths
or throats. These have been
permitted to reside there in a
state Of armed neutrality be-
tween the germs and the body
lenses until fatigue, emotion,
intemperance, over-eXertion or
sudden chill temporarily reduces
the integrity of the body's de-
fensive agents. This produces
the aggregation of symptoms
known as a cold. Colds are really
very serious matters, and should
never be treated lightly. Ii the
body's resistance to one kind of
disease germ is lowered, it is
quite easy for other germs to
gain a foothoId and spring into
activity at such a time. The in
lection which has produced a
cold may extend to other parts
of the body, and middle-ear dis
ease and deafness may ensue. or
a remote joint may be infected,
thus causing a lowered efficiency
throughout life. Many of the
cases which are diagnosed as
rheumatism are merely the
chronic poisoning which results
from the continued growth of
the same germs which produce
colds. Since colds are induced
by a lowering of the bodily eff
fciency, it is seen that they may
be avoided by the maintenance
of the bodily processes in a good
condition. This means the OBJ
servance of the rules of hygiene,
adequate food, avoidance of ex-
cesses, the securing of sufficient
sleep and the like. Above all,
the teeth should be kept in good
condition and the mouth kept
clean.
1t is the duty of persons who.
have colds to take every precau-
ton against transmitting them
to others. The agency in the
transmission of colds from one
person to another is the sputum
and this transferrence may occur
directly by sneezing, coughing
or expectorating. Someone has
called the cold the strap-hangers
disease because Of the frequency
with which it is contracted in
overcrowded street cars. The
common handkerchief is a great
transmitter of disease. People
with colds should either destroy
the handkerchiefs which they
use or sterilize them by boiling.
