FALL cows FOR
GOOD BUTTER
(By G. A. Gilbert, U. S. Department Of
Agriculture

(By G. A. Gilbert. U. s. Department of
Agriculture.)
This is the season of the year that
the creamery is turning down orders
for butter, while few months ago
they were making frantic efforts to
dispose of their surplus. 1t is the
time that they are scouting through
the country trying to find more cream
to make into butter, while not long
ago some were loath to take on new
patrons. A pound of butter fat is
worth from one-quarter to one-fifth
more now at the creamery than it
was in the summer, and the price is
going higher all the time. Is it not
too bad that it is also the season when
the farmers cows are going dry, in
stead of freshening? If the herd were
fresh now, the farmer would get the
advantage of the high price of fat and
butter all through the fall and winter.
The cows would again pick up in their
milk flow for a while in the spring
when the pastures are good, and
would be stripping or dry during the
hottest weather when the price of but
ter is the lowest.
Creameries have long stored good
butter during May and June and July
to supply the shortage in the winter.
But is is only the wide-awake dairy,
man who sees the advantage of winter
dairying. Breed the cows so that they
freshen in the fall, and take advan.
tage of the high prices that the cream.
cry is always going to pay for but
ter fat during the winter.

Should Grow Other Things Too
Don't Worship the Onion
As Did the Egyptian
MANY OTHER VEGETABLES.
On the other Hand, Do Not Fall to
Plant onions In the Garden, for the
Onion is Good, HeaIthfuI and Appe-
tIzIng.

kBy G. A. Keffer, Division of Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
A stranger travelling over Tennes-
see and taking note OF gardens during
the month OF April, would decide the
Tennesseean, like the ancient Egyp-
Gan, worshipped the onion. He would
find turnips in the fall and winter, and
onions In the winter and spring, and
beans all summer long
Far be it FROM this writer to belit-
tie so popular a.vegstable il he could.
Decides the onion is strong enough to
take care OF itself.
But why should Tennessee gardens
in April and May be given over so
largely to the odorous-some folks
would cay malodorous-onion? It is
good 1t is healthful. 1t is appetiz-
dng. 1t thrives iii cold weather and
lwithstands frost and cold. 1t revels
in rain. Every garden should have a
plentiful supply. But in many gardens
the onion has monopoly of space
and attention, and this is quite be-
yond its merits and it's deserts.
1t just happens that three or four
other very useful early vegetables
have the same cultural requirements,
and many a town garden, and whole
host of farm gardens would better
serve their owners If three-fourths of
tho space now devoted to salad onions
were planted to spinach, peas, radish
AEd asparagus.
+ The onion is ready for use earlier
than any Of these; planted (multiplier,
potato or the mature bulbs of any 9TH
er Variety from October to January,
pit yields its tender young product
from February to May. But aspara-
tgus is ready for use in early April,
hnd spinach sowp in February and
March. gives delicious pot salad in
April and May, while peas sown in
gan4ary (any round seeded kind) are
READY for the table in early May. 1t
takes twenty days for the earliest va
Erieties Of radish to grow big enough
ITO eat. In the face Of these facts why
should 50 many gardens yield only
onions through April and early May?
! / am as fond of onions as the Back
Bay resident is of beans. count no
garden that is onionless success.
But why nothing but onions?

SELF SOWN FLOWERS
(By Charles A. Keffer, Division Of Elk

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division Of Elk
tension, University Of Tennesee.)
Last year the best strain of i'm
proved zinnias obtainable was planted
in one flower garden, and the show
that resulted was very satisfactory.
This plant has been very much i'm
proved in recent years, and now comes
in brilliant orange-scarlets, clear pinks
and lemon yellows: the old dull pinks
and reds are scarcely seen in the best
mixtures 1t seemed as If every zinnia
in the garden was perfect.
Last spring great many seeding
zinnias sprung up from seed of last
years plants. No new seed was pur-
chased. Since all Of last years plants
were Of the finest quality, it was rea-
sonable to suppose that these sced-
lings would produce equally perfect
flowers. In fact more than half Of this
years plants we're inferior. Many Of
the flowers were either single or semi
double, and the prevailing color was
dull pink and dull red shades Very
few Of the plans gave the brilliant
flowers that characterized last years
crop.
The same thing Is noticed IN
petunias. Starting with the dnest
fringed varieties, three years OF self
sown plants have resulted in rever-
sion to the old form and to very
large degree, dull pinks and white
One Of the agreeable experiences
with self-sown flowers has been with
hardy phlox. Several years ago few
plants Of four varieties were planted;
they have seeded freely and many of
the seedlings have been permitted to
stand: these seedlings vary greatly
from their parents and from each 9TH
er In height OF plant, time OF bloom,
and size and color OF flowers, and none
has developed the dull purple color Of
the old fashioned phlox,
