SELECTING SITE FOR GARDEN
If Possible Locate Vegetable Patch on
slipping Ground-Plow Soil Fully
Six Inches Deep.

It is much better to have the fruit
garden separate from the vegetable
garden, if one is able to do so, IL
for no other reason than the trees
and bushes are liable to be broken
in cultivating among the garden
crops.
Locate the vegetable garden, IL pos
sible, on sloping ground, fully ex-
posed to the sun. A warm, wet
sheltered location may be planted
early in the spring. The early vege-
tables always bring the most money.
For a small family, one-half acre,
properly MANFRED and cultivated, will
furnish full supply of vegetables.
Plant crops the full length of the
garden; for horse cultivation the rows
should be marked off three feet apart;
for hand culture with garden plow
run the rows Is to 90 feet apart.
Have the ground deeply piowec

Chicks Matched with hens should be

make sure that the chicks are getting

chicks run. and feed them outside the
coop.
Chick feed is too expensive for hen
feed. We do not like to give hard and
fast rules about feeding chicks, lest
we put in the ration something which
is not at hand. Preparing a ration for
chicks is like preparing a meal-a
balanced meal that will promote
growth and health may be prepared in
any number of different combinations.
The main thing is, don't feed before
the chick is forty hours old. Don't

A plain fact that cannot be I'm

The first half of the milk drawn may
not contain more than half as much
fat as the latter half the COW may
have some slight sickness; some or
her delicate nervous functions may
be deranged temporarily; extremes
of weather, undue exposure, excite
ment, may all influence the yield OF
milk and the test. Hence it is clear
that the sensible way to judge a
cows performance is not by any one
test or weight, but rather on her
total yield for the season. A cold,
matter-of-fact average does not
give necessary information. Cows
have individuality, which is worth
studying so that they may repay their
owners for intelligent handling.
