CUT PEANUT VINES FOR Hay

Ready for the Vines.

While you are waiting for the per-
manent vines to grow. you can cover
your porch the first year without
spending a cent. by sowing seeds of
wild cucumber vine or collecting seeds
of morning glory in regions where it
runs wild. In the garden cities of
England, such as Bournyille and
Letehworth. which are the most beau
tiful of their kind in the world, many
thousands of dollars have been saved
by building very plain houses. and pro-
viding different sets of vines for every
house.

HALF SUGAR BEET FOR STOCK
Excellent Feed for Winter When Sue
cuIent Matter Is Scarce-CultiVa-
ton Is Needed.

There is a kind of beet known as
half sugar beet, or stock beet, which
is grown in some places fer stock
feed. It makes a good feed during the
winter time when succulent matter Is
so scarce. In feed value. root crops
compare about the same as sllage,
The principal objection to growing
root crops for stock is the high cost
of production It costs as much per
ton TO grow root crops as 1t does 10
grow and place a crop in a silos Root
crops will not keep we'll unless they
are carefully handled and carefully
stored, and even in that case the
growisg of root crops is more difficult
and under adverse conditions there
is very apt to be failure.
Root crops should be planted on
ground which has been well prepared
and in a good, mellow condition. They
NAV be planted In rows 20 to Sc inches
apart, but the closer planting will
give the larger yield. Sugar beets,
mangels and half sugar beets should
be thinned to about 10 inches
apart in the row, rad will re-
quire about s pounds of seed per
acre to insure a good stand The thin

when the plants are very small. 1t is

Our advice would be to start in
very small way, say not over one.

DOUBLE VALUE FROM CROPS
In Marketing OF Feeds Through Live
Stock and From Fertilizer in

The farmer who feeds as much live
stock as possible may figure that he
is receiving a double remuneration
from his crops First, from the mar

stances which are left in the manure.
Practically all of the nitrogen. phos-
phorus and potash which is in the
feeds is recovered in the manure from
live stock. All landowners, farmers.

be keenly conscious of this fact. and

there is no load for them going in the
general direction of their home lines
they are to be returned empty.
Coal-carrying roads have promised
that as soon as fair proportion of
missing equipment is returned they
will raise embargoes which have been
placed upon shipments in their cars to
sections which are now suffering from

proposals to indicate to him Monday

in regard to carrying them out.
