AMERICAN MANUFACTURE
OE CREOSOTE INCREASES S

Washington, May 2O.-Owing to a
falling off since August l of nearly 30
per cent in shipments of creosOte from
| England and Germany, whence comes
all but a small part of the imported oil
! used by wood preserving plants in
| this country, American manufacturers
have taken steps, which, says re
port compiled by the forest service,
it is estimated will increase produc-
tion of the domestic article. by about
% per cent. The imported oil ordi-
narily forms about 60 per cent of the
total used in the United States, where
creOSote is the most important wood
preservatiye.
The statistics gathered show that
wood preserving is one Of the most
rapidly advancing industries in the
country. In 1895 there were fifteen
plants in the United States; in 1914
there were H. plants of all kinds.
IoO being OF the pressure'cylinder type.
Ninety-four of the plants last year
used more than 70 million gallons OF
creosote oil, more than y million
pounds OF dry zinc chloride, and near
ly two and one-half million gallons Of
other preseIyatiyes, such as coal tai
and crude oil, treating a total of near
ly 100 million cubic feet of timber, an
increase of about 7 million cubic feet
over 1913, and Of 80 million cubic feet
over 1912.
The most important consumers are
the large plants in which railroad ties
are treated The preseryatiyes ma
terially lengthen the ties period OF
service, lessen the labor cost inyolv-
ed by renewal and decrease the drain
upon the forests due to tie cutting.
TO some extent the treatment of fence
posts and other forms Of farm timber
is being taken up, an inexpensive APP
paratus and method having been de-
NlSeu by the department OF agrlcul-
ture; but as yet the use of wood pre-
seryation by farmers is on too small
scale to have any importance in the
total, while the practice of treating
telephone poles is in its incipiency in
this country.
With the rapid advance of this in
dustry as a whole" says the report,
'the choice of preseryatives has been
fairly well established, but the kinds
and classes of materials to be treated
need development along certain lines.
In Germany and other European coun-
tries practically all cross ties laid by
the railroads are treated with chemi-
Gals or preserving oils. In this country
but 30 per cent of the ties purchased |
by the railroads are subjected to such !
treatment. The number of poles treat !
ed in this country is a very small per
cent of the total in use"

of labor By lessening the work of cul-
tivaticn. A deep soil is desirable, but
the depth should be increased gradu-
ally. Barnyard or stable manure is
the besbfertilizer, because it furnishes
both plant food and humus. It should
be applied far enough in advance of
planting time to allow it to decay. If
it is available, twenty to thirty tons of
manure to an acre will prove very
satisfactory. IF this cannot be Sc
cured. some leguminous crop such as
cowpeas, soy beans, or crimson clover
should be turned under to supply hui
mus and part of the necessary nitro
gen.
Finally, additional fertilizing ele-
ments can be applied in the form OF
ever, are expensive and it is one OBJ
ject of diversified farming to enable
the farmer to economic in their use.
On farms which maintain an adequate
supply of live stock, and where atten-
ton is paid to the enriching of the
soil by leguminous crops, this should
not be needed, at least in large guam
titles.
The vegetables that the farmer will
grow in his garden depend naturally
upon local conditions and the family's
own preference. Asparagus, however,
should be included wherever it will
thrive. This is one of the earliest
vegetables and will prove valuable
addition to the spring diet. The roots
may be planted in the fall or early
spring. After the bed is well estab-
lished, it should last Indefinitely, and
for this reason the location of the bed
should be very carefully considered
Beans are another vegetable which
should always be included. The first
planting should be made as soon as
the ground is reasonably warm, and
this should be followed by others at
intervals of ten days or two weeks,
until the hot weather sets in. Cab
bage is also desirable, because it is
economical in the use of land and may
be sown through large part of the
year. For spring and early summer,
good varieties are the Jersey Wake
field, Charleston Wakefield, All Head
Early and Succession. In most Sec
lions of the South it will hardly pay
to attempt to grow cabbage during
midsummer, but a fall crop as we'll as
a spring crop should be grown. Caui-
flower is generally regarded as
greater delicacy, but it is not so hardy
as cabbage. For further information
on these and similar vegetables such
as celery. lettuce, cucumbers, egg
plant, etc., the prospective gardener

OUR NATIONAL DISEASE
Caused by Coffee.

Physicians know that drugs will not
correct the evils caused by coffee and
that the only remedy is to stop drink
ing it.
An Arkansas doctor says:
'I was a coffee drinker for many
years and often thought that I could
not do without it, but after years OF
suffering with our national malady,
dyspepsia, attributed it to the drink
ing of coffee, and after some thought,
determined to use Postum for my
morning drink.
"I had the Postum made carefully
according to directions on the pkg. and
found it just suited my taste.
cat first used it only for breakfast,
but 1 found myself getting so much
better, that had it at all meals, and l

Heved of indigestion. I gained 10

tons of the U. S. department of agri
culture for the various farmers bull
letins on these subjects.
Although, as has already been said,
the choice of vegetables to be grown
in the garden must be determined by
individual tastes and circumstances,
spinach should not be omitted. This
can be grown in the open throughout
the fall and winter all along the coast
south from Norfolk, Va, and inland
through the lower tier of southern
states. In the colder regions, little
protection may be necessary during
the severest weather, but two or three
inches of hay, straw or leaves will usu-
ally be found sufficient. Seed planted
in the autumn will furnish green's
throughout the winter and early
spring. Spinach should be sown in
drills twelve to fifteen inches apart,
at the rate of one ounce to 100 feet
of row. For the average family, three
or four ounces of seed will be found
sufficient
In an article of this kind, however,
it is obviously impossible even to
name all the products that garden
may be made to yield. The farmer
who has hitherto neglected the possi-
bilities of a half acre or so devoted
to the purpose should begin with the
simpler and most useful vegetables

his garden as his experience and

VALUE OF THE GARDEN
Usefulness Cannot Be Measured
in Money Alone.
Farmer Will Find 1t Profitable to De-
vote Small Patch Of Land to Vege-
tables-Location Should Be
Near the Home.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrtcu1ture.)
If the value of the home garden
were to be estimated in money alone
1t 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. 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 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-
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
of transportation and marketing. He
obtains, however, an inferior article.
Many vegetables lose their character
istic 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
no vegetables at all. One result Of
this is demand for tonics and other
medicines in the spring, for it is a
well-known fact that vegetables and
fruits furnish many ingredients abso-
lutely essential to human health.
Where a monotonous winter diet fails
to supply these ingredients, the hu
man system suffers and recourse is
had to medicine.
For reasons both of health and
therefore, the farmer will find
