ADVICE FROM A FARMERS WIFE
A Farm Without a Garden is a Poor
Place to Live.
Progressive Farner.)

tITOSFeSSlVS Farlner.)
| wish to say few words about
gardening, because l think farm
without garden--not merely u
,, place called a garden, but a garden
with something growing in 1T all the
year rounds a mighty poor place
to live. And all it takes to have
good garden is to properly p"epa,e
tho ground and plant the right seed
at the right time.
| plant onions, lettuce, turnips
and SOW cabbage seed about the 18th
Of September, and set out cabbage
plants about the 18th of November
Last year l sowed cabbage seed the
25th Of September, and the plants
were so tender they did not stand
the winter weather. The seed should
not be sowed later than the 9Th Of
September. l SOW the Early Jersey
Wakefield, and my homegrown
plants head 10 days earlier than any
| have ever bought. l begin plant
ing beans about the 10th Of March
and keep on planting about every 10
days until the 18th Of September,
and | have green beans from the last
days OF April until the freezes in No
vember. Peanuts and potatoes are
our most profitable truck crops, and
we can grow enough Of either to fat
ten our hogs OH a piece of ground
that would not make mora than five
bushels of corn. Any farmer who
does not raise corn, wheat, oats.
peas, sweet and Irish potatoes. pea
nuts, beef, pork, clover and rye, and
make his land better instead of
poorer, is mighty poor farmer, no
matter how much cotton he makes.
Very early last spring I noticed
that where had had green oni, is,
lettuce and cabbage growing all win
ter there were a great many cut
worms. sometimes found as
many as II around a single bunch
of onions, and they were bad all
summer in that part Of the garden.
Where one has winter garden the
plot should be changed every year.
Cabbage, corn. in fact nearly every
thing, will grow better if the ground
is changed. A garden should never
be allowed to grow up in weeds and
grass. All the ground that is not
planted in the fall should be turned
under and covered with manure.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, ard that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intlamed condition OF the mucous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
'dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but
an intlamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case Of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir

At a recent meeting Of the adyis.

the following resolutions were ad.
opted:
whereas, The control of money
and credit Of the United States by
banking corporations has caused an
over-developmcnt of cities and an
undcr-development OF the country;
and
Whereas, This false and dishon-
est money system operates in the
interest Of banking corporations the
creditor and non-producing class
and
Whereas, Borrowing false and
fictitious money---bank credits
means perpetual debts, high rates of
interest and eventual bankruptcy
and poverty OF the people; and
Whereas, We fully realize that
the pending Rural Credits Bill re-
ported by the joint committees on
banking and currency TO the Con-
gress would result in banks eXchang-
ing bank credits-false money-.for
mortgages upon the farm lands of
this country; and
Whereas. There Is no additional
money put into existence to cor
respond to the debts or mortgages
manufactured by this process, these
mortgages would become perpetual
on the farms Of the United States:
RESOLVED, That we protest against
the passage Of any bill by the Con-
gress embodying this vicious and
ruinous principle.
eve demand that all money shall
be issued by the government for a
valuable consideration or loaned di-
rect to the people by the government |
at low rate Of interest.
We demand that the Congress
restore to the people their sovereign
control of the money system of the
United States, and establish an hon
est money system wherein the me-
dium cf exchange will give equal
benefits to every American citizen,
and wherein the credit Of the gov
ernment shall be used for the bene-
fit OF all the people instead Of bank
ing corporations; to reduce the rate
OF interest on loans; encourage ag-
riculture and the ownership of farm
homes.
"ln conclusion we call upon the
farm and labor organizations Of the
United States to unite upon "A
Money Bill embodying these sound
economic principles and call upon
their Representatives in Congress to
support such bill and no other"

1t Is well to plan system of caring for
such recipes. Put them carefully in
dexed where you may lay your hand
upon them In the moment of need.
Most of our publications these days
make it important that all recipes
should be published at time when
they can be used at once.
Some women do their work three
times, in anticipation, in realization.
and in -etrospection. 1t is wise to
plan work well, but after 1t is done let
1t be done and improve on the next
piece of work If possible. Men as
rule are not nervous and unstrung
more women than men break down
with nerves. One reason is that
woman's work has more Of small de-
tails, she is often called on in emer-
gencies, and her work is powerful

/ wonder how many people realize
that 1t is the work they don't do that
wears on the nerves. One may by con-
slant application train the mind to LET
go when 1t is time to rest, not turn
things over all night with tired un-
strung mind and body. making a new
day torture.
1t takes much more ability to inspire
and get work out of others than to
be n great worker oneself. The first
is commander, the other, one in the
ranks. Cultivate the ability of getting
work out of others, especially the
young people. They need the train
ing and you need the help. Young
children will work happily with COM
pany. but cannot be expected at first
to take tasks alone and enjoy doing
them.
If the onion bed needs wedding or

are never thought of. One frugal wom-
an after putting up all the blueberries
she felt that she could afford, washed
and dried n bushel. These when soak
ed in water and sweetened make most
delicious pies and sauce and have kept

Wild grapes are the greatest of
roadside prizes and many are the ways
they may be preserved for the winter
table.
For green grape jam. pick the grapes
just before they begin to turn. Halve
and seed them If you want n delicious
conserve and mix equal parts of sugar
when cooking. A few pint jars of
these will so delight your friends that
you will forget the labor of preparing
them. For jelly. walt until they are
beginning to turn, then you will have
most beautiful color. If too ripe
the jelly is not nearly as good in color
and may lack the pectln found in the
greener grapes.
Spiced grapes make another way of
varying this delicious fruit; use this
when you are serving venison, and be
thankful for such favors.
When everything else has been done
with grapes that you can think of, put
up few bushels In the form of grape
juice. No more delicious drink can be
offered the parched and tired traveller
than a glass of grape juice with tin
king ice.
The elderberry Is another fruit that
need not be overlooked. Make pie
and add bit of vinegar or few green
grapes to the pie to give 1t zest and
you will surely make another very
soon.
