DEPTH FOR COVERING SEEDS
Quarter or Half an Inch Is Quite SUI
ficent for Onions, Lima Beans
and Like Plants.

Too much stress cannot be laid up
on covering seed properly. We are
very apt to cover too deeply AS a
general rule the smaller the seed, the
lighter should be the cover. Onions.
squashes, parsnips and lima BEANS or
such plants that push up the shells
of the seed itself, find it difficult to
force their way through very great
depth of earth after it is packed down
by rains. A quarter or half an inch
at most is quite sufficient covering
for these seeds. Gare should be exer-
cised to see that Jumps of earth are
not left over them.
When we plant beets, carrots, pars-
nips, etc., we always like to have long
rows, and do not believe in wasting
space in useless paths and walks, with
short rows running crosswise. 1t is
much easier to keep long rows clean,
than short ones, and the labor in car
ing for long rows is much less than
that needed for short ones.

oNN REGISTERED LIVE STOCK
Practical Knowledge Of Business
Should be Obtained Before Start
ing With Pure-5reds.

The desire to own registered STOCK
Is praiseworthy, but until a man IS
we'll fitted by experience and lnciina-
ton to handle registered stock he Will
find it better to go cautiously until he
has gained a practical knowledge OF
the business.
There is no mystery regarding the
breeding and management OF pure
pred stock, still they require mate
rally different treatment than is usu'
ally afforded the common scrub stock.
These improved animals do not re-
uuire pampering or babying but they
do require good care and enough TO
eat and that they cannot obtain when
wintered around straw stacks and
fence corners.
The farmer who has made good
success with a grade herd or flock Will
not find the transition to pure breds
very difficult. If man knows aDso-
lutely nothing about breeding regis
tered stock he will do well to gam
the necessary experience by grading
I'D his scrub animals before he invests
in pure bred stock. At least he should
gain the actual experience in some
way before ne makes the plunge.
There are many men who buy pure
bred stock who should never be in
the business and the result is that
their stock is byword and a de-
rision-a very disgrace to the name
pure-bred. Some men have jumped
suddenly into fame by breeding lni-
proved live stock, but usually we will
find that these men gained practical
knowledge Of the science of breeding
while handling their grade animals,
that made their success possible.

FInsf MEAL Faa The eHlcKs
Don't Feed Little Fellows Until They
Are Forty Hours Old-Encour-
age Them to Scratch.

Chicks Matched with hens should be
fed as incubator chicks until they are
on range; i. e., first meal of bread
squeezed out Of sweet milk first three
weeks, rolled oats, bread crumbs and
hard-boiled eggs, mixed shells and all;
wheat boiled in milk, curds, or any
other convenient food suitable for
chicks. Feed on clean boards, and
give green food. When on range,
make sure that the chicks are getting
sufficient amount to eat. The cheap
est way is to pen the hen, let the
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
leave food which will sour before
them.
After they are trained to eat, scat
ter cracked grains or rolled oats in
clover leaves, to coax them to scratch,
and feed them in such a way that they
are not robbed by the old hens. Mash
feeds fatten quicker. Alternate
cracked corn and ground mashes for
market birds after six weeks. Make
breeding birds scratch for all they
get Milk is always good.
Egg shells sometimes become too
hard to hatch easily. When such is
the case, cover them with a flannel
cloth wrung out Of hot water, if they
are in the incubator, beginning at the
fifteenth day. If under the hen, dip
them in warm water.

ssrIesstaGs, ssAagd, sttNs assasats
OF the problom Of ruesi c7s3;aniaati4a
are strongly of the opinion that such
an agricultural council is necessary
before much can be done for the bet
tering of rural credit or the market,
ing of farm produce. There is no
object, for example, in having more
capital in a farming neighborhood
unless the farmers know without any
guess-work just how to use that capt.
tal so as to increase the production
and the profit of their farms. If all
the leading farmers of a neighbor'
hood would lay their heads together
and talk over the situation and study
the opportunities for new investment
thew would be less likely to make
mistakes than if they work secretly
as separate individuals.

SYSTEM II, THE HONE
EXCELLENT IDEA MUST NOT BE
CARRIED TO EXCESS.
Careful Preparation of Menu Is De-
sirabIe, But Like All Good Things
There Is Possibility of Its
BEING Overdone.

Carefully planning and writing OUT
menus at least three meals in advance,
and marketing for the same, is abso-
lutely essential in housekeeping ell
cheney if a woman expects to keep her
youth, beauty, good health and sunny
disposition:
I am told by some that women do
not like the word System" Neither
do when it is so ironclad that, II my
husband asked me to take little spin
with him after luncheon so we could
both get a little fresh air, would have
to stay home and follow out my Reg
ularly Planned System!" The butter,
cream, bread, etc., could quickly be
taken care of and the dishes to be
washed certainly would not run away
1--WE often wish they would and would
be done with greater ease for the
change and fresh air which we nave
enjoyed. Yes, l thoroughly believe in
a system, and so does any well-organ'
lied business organization; but let II
be a flexible one when in the hands OF
the women who think.
No wonder women wear out! They
either carry the house around on their
two shoulders from morning till night
or they forget it entirely. There is
happy, helpful medium. Let us take a
pad and pencil and go to the refrigera'
tor after breakfast and make a note
of just what food is there in left!
overs" Then decide where these may
be used in any one of the next three
meals; maybe the outside stalks OF
celery are there which will make line
cream of celery soup for luncheon or
dinner. Now plan and write out on a
card (Which is kept in your card index
back of menus) each of these menus,
and on another slip write the neces'
sary grocery order; at the same time
see if any of the staples, such as sugar.
tea or coffee, rice, ETC., must be re
plenished, and write these down also.
If you know exactly what is wanted
once or twice, or even three times a
week, this order can be telephoned; at
other times it is necessary to go to
market to compare foods and prices
know values and become skillful in
marketing. Besides, it is great adj
vantage to have personal acquaintance
with the butcher, the baker and the
candlestick maker"
Now, with this done, prepare al
these meals as far in advance as pos
sible, such as meats, desserts, etc., SO
that your work can be all pigeon-holed
as it were. Very little time then is
needed in preparation of any one OF
those three meals at the last moment

MAKING BEST USE CT LAMB
Directions Here for TWO Excellent
Dinners to Be Evolved From a
Seven-Pound Shoulder.

A seven-pound shoulder of lamb, cut
off both long ends and take the CEN
ter, thick chunk of meat; place in
rans over a good range fire. Cover
closely and let it scar brown about
twenty minutes. Take fork, turn it
over, let it scar another twenty min
utes on this side, then pour three or
four cupfuls hot water, salt, three
large onions. Cover closely again,
letting it simmer. Loosen the meat
from the bottom of pan before adding
water. At the end of an hour more
add three large carrots in long strips.
Cover for half an hour more, then add
three large parsnips cut in strips and
cover again for half an hour longer,
when your roast of meat and Vege-
tables will be done. Celery can go
into this with parsnips also. This
is all done on top of the stove. Serve
with potatoes or simply the vegetables
in the pan.
Next day take the two long, swing
ing ends of the lamb shoulder that you
had put away from the roast part,
put in soup kettle or deep stewpan,
with celery leaves if you have it. Boil
it. Boil a full hour in sailed wa
ter, add head of cabbage soaked in
cold water over night, to crisp it; pep
per it at this stage of the cooking. Boil
another full hour. Peel potatoes, boil
twenty minutes in separate kettle,
pour on water, shake gently until
mealy and serve with your lamb and
cabbage. Do not have too much water
on your lamb, for the cabbage throws
off much water. Cover all closely
while boiling.
This is the only good way to get
all that is possible out of shoulder
of lamb and have tasty meals. Skim
off fat with cabbage dinner, as those
two long swinging ends have more fat
than one would wish to eat. Reserve
that for soapmaking.

SELECTING SITE FOR GARDEN
If Possible Locate Vegetable Patch on
sloping Ground-Pow 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, if
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 c1rly VcSe-
tables always bring the most money.
For a small family, onehalf acre,
properly MANFRED and cultivated, will
furnish a full supply of vegetables.
Plant crops the full length OF the
garden; for horse cultivation the rows
should be marked eff three feet apart;
for hand culture with garden ploW,
run the rows Is to 20 feet apart.
Have the ground deeply plowed
fully six inches deep. Plow as soon
as the ground is dry enough to crum-

CELERY FOR SMALL GARDENS
AS Rule 1t Is Only Moderately Profit
able Crop-cne of Most Deli
cious Of Vegetables.
(By L. M. BENNINGTON.)

Celery is fairly good market crop,
but there are many other crops that
pay better. In the famous Kalamazoo
district in Michigan, where the crop
is grown exclusively on hundreds OF
acres by experts, it is stated that the
average profit after rental OF land,
growing and marketing expenses are
paid does not exceed $500 per acre. o.
casionally we hear of phenomenal
crop, but as a rule celery is only mod
erately profitable.
1t is a fine crop for every farmer to
grow because it is one of the most de-
licious vegetables produced. 1t is not
difficult to grow celery. 1t requires ex-
ceedingly rich land, some commercial
fertilizer and great care in cultivation
and bleaching.
In the Kalamazoo district, where
very fine celery is grown, the soil is a
very black, rich, spongy sort of loan.
but good celery is grown on sandy land
and on clay loan.
The ground must, however, be put
into thorough cultivation and very

all times, except when grasshoppers
are more easily obtained.
So far as it's vegetable food is con-
cerned the bluebird is positively harm
less. The only trace of any usetul
product in the stomachs consisted or
a few blackberry seeds, and even these
probably belonged to wild rather than
cultivated varieties. Following IS

found: Blackberry, chokeberry, juni-

the bird depends upon the farm or gar
den to supply its needs and how cas-
iIv, by encouraging the growth OF
some CT these plants, many OF when
are highly ornamental, the bird may
be induced to make his home on the
premises.
TWO species of bluebirds inhabit the
western states-the mountain blueblrd
and the western bluebird. In their food
habits they are even more to be COM
1nended than their eastern relatives.
Their insect food is obtainable at all
times of the year, and the general diet
varies only in the fall, when some
fruit, principally elderberries, is eat
en-, though an occasional blackberry
or grape is also relished. Grasshop,
pcrs, when they can be obtained, are
eaten freely during the whole season
