perhaps cash, can be saved by TAX

the proper time to arrange for cor
recting them and doing better in the
garden next year.
After the frosts have done theiI
work in the vegetable garden, all dead
vines and plaiits should be removed
and burned. Cucumber, melon and
squash vines, left on the ground. may
harbor numberless eggs or insect
pests to bring disaster next year. II
potato land is to be planted again to
the same crop. all the dead tops
should be removed and burned. The
deadly germs Of disease are kept ovei
for next season In old tops. Ordinarily
the same piece is not planted to pota
toes on two successive seasons, but
this may be the case in some In
stances, where 1t is customary to raise
q few extra early ones In the gar
