PREPARE SEEDED FOR OATS
Not Generally Necessary to Plow
Land Before Sowing-Disk Har-
( ..fti row Is Recommended. "a

+ Oats usually follow cultivated
crop such as corn or potatoes; hence
it is. not generally necessary to pillow
the land before sowing. Oats do well
on fall-plowed land, but if the land
has not been plowed in the fall better
yields are usually produced from
sowing in a seedbed made by disk
ing and narrowing than in one made
by spring blowing. Early seeding for
oats is very desirable. AS good seed
bed can be made much more quickly
with the disk harrow than with the
piow on land that was in cultivated
crop last year, the saving in time Is
an advantage. Two diskings and one
narrowing with the spike-toothed har-
row will put clean land in good shape
for sowing with the drill.
Oats grow best in a seeded that
has 2 or 8 inches of loose surface soil,
but which is firm below that depth.
This is another reason why disking is
to be preferred to spring blowing, for
there is not time for plowed land to
settle before the seed is sown. Still
another reason why the disk is better
is that a field can be plowed, and the
cheaper way of doing job should
always be chosen If it gives just as
good results as the more. expensive
way.

Lauuhs Better Than Medicine.

Physicians have discovered that
good laugh is one of the best panaceas
extant for the various ills of man.
kind. They recommend 1t as substi.
tute for medicine. 1t is good for any
kind of ailment, from chronic dyspep'
STA to chilblains, from softening of the
brain to hardening Of the arteries.
Germs scatter the majority of dis
eases, but lack of mental relaxation
is now found to be responsible for
some of our best patronized ills. The
man with a sense of humor is better
fortified against poor health than the
man with a pestiferous crouch. A
countenance wreathed in smiles is
symbolic Of proper heart action, good
circulation and normal respiration.
While generally speaking it improves
ones health to laugh, it might not
improve ones health to laugh at the
man who slips on banana peel and
is severely bumped in his dignity, or
at the man who madly pursues his hat
that is caught in the teeth Ct frisky
breeze and spins down the middle OF
the street, or at the man whom the
playful kiddies have just soaked with
a SNOWFALL. These are not subjects
for laughter as provided for in the
health movement. Be discreet about
what you laugh, but laugh whenever
possible.

KEEP GARDEN BUSY
Small Plot Will Produce Enough
Vegetables for Family.
If Land Was Not Plowed Last Fall 1t
Should Be Broken in Spring as
Soon as Frost Is Out-Manure q
Is Best Fertilizer. -4-

F.rom the United States Department of
Agriculture)
Even the smallest back yard may
be made to yield a supply of fresh
vegetables for the family table at but
slight expense if two or three crops
are successfully grown to keep the
area occupied all the time, according
to the garden specialists of the de-
partment People who would discharge
a clerk if he did not work the year
round will often cultivate garden at
no little trouble and expense and then
allow the soil to lie idle from the time
the first crop natures until the end OF
the season. Where a two or three
crop system is used in connection
with vegetables adapted to small
areas, a space no larger than 20 by ~
feet will produce enough fresh vege-
tables for small family. Corn, mel
ons, cucumbers, and potatoes and 9TH
er crops which require a large area
should not be grown in garden OF
this size. Half an acre properly cul-
tivated with a careful crop rotation
may easily produce 500 worth of vari-
GUS garden crops in year. (.
When to Work Soil.
If the garden was not broken in the
fall, it should be plowed in the spring
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground. Small areas may be worked
with a spade, pushing the blade in to
it's full depth and turning the soil to
break up the clods. Heavy soils should
never be worked when wet. Oyerzeal-
