There are . number of vegetables
which, though grown in the simmer
are usually planted for use in the fol-
lowing winter. An adequate supply of
these produced in the home garden
will do much to make the family S
winter fare more attractive and more
economical. Among garden products
of this type may be named cabbage,
carrots, parsaips, tnrnips, and rutA-
hAeAA
Both early and late varieties of cab
base are grown extensively. For a late
crop it is customary to plant the seeds
in bed in the open ground in May
or June and transplant them to the
garden In July. For cabbage of this
character the soil should be heavier
and more retentive Of moisture than
for early cabbage, which requires a
rich, warm soil in order to reach ma
turity quickly. For the late variety il
is not desirable to have too rich a soil,
as the heads are liable to burst. Cab
bages should be set in rows 80 to So
inches apart the plants standing IA 70
Is inches apart in the row.
To store cabbage. the heads should
be buried in pits or placed in cellars.

GOOD BREEDING.

We can never put too much EN-
phasis on the question of improved
breeds. No proposition in the whole
realm of live stock husbandry has
been more definitely demonstrated
than that well-bred animals are Of
better quality than poorly bred and
can be fed more profitably There are
horses that can eat bushel OF oats
and in some way extract energy there
from sufficient to trot a mile in two
minutes. There are other horses that
may consume the same amount Of
food and may even have the advantage
OF the same training. but can never
succeed in extracting more than
enough energy to trot the same mile in
five minutes. There are cows that
when fed a certain amount of food
will easily produce zoo pounds Of but
ter in one year, while there are others
that will produce 100 pounds of butter
although fed exactly the
same food in kind. quality and

IOAFING ACRES,

Nearly every year there are a NOM
Der Of acres on the farm that are
loafers, that do not contribute enough
to the products of the farm to pay for
taxes, let alone fencing. The first
thing to do with these is to drain
them.
Others are stony or gravelly Dor
tons which do not and will not pro-
dnce sufficient crops to pay for cult
walton; and the proper thing to do
with these Is to SOW them to tame
grasses cover them over with barn
yard manure, and let them stay in
grass. Sometimes a field has been
farmed 50 long that it has ceased to
be profitable, and the only thing to
do with this is to pat il down in
tame grass and apply manure heavily.
There are frequently acres on the
farm that are out of the way, tina,
could better be planted to timber of
some kind suitable to the neighbor-
hood. Sometimes there are corners
in field cut Off by stream, or so in
conveniently located that they can not

has now come when we can put these

Turnips require a rich soil and may
be grown either as an early or late
crop. For a late crop it II customary
to SOW the seeds broadcast on land
from which some early crop has been
removed. In the North this Is gen.
orally done during July or August,
but the usual time is later in the
South. The plants are quite hardy and
the roots need not be gathered until
after several frosts. They may then
be stored in cellar or buried in q
pit outside. Before storing, the tops
should be removed. If an early crop
is desired the seed should be sown In
drills IL to Is inches apart as early in
the spring as the condition Of the soil
will permit. After the plants appear
they are thinned to abo8t 3 inches
Two. pounds of seed are required to
plant an acre.
The rutabaga is quite similar to the
turnip and is grown in much the
same way. 1t requires more space,
however. and longer period for It's
growth. 1t N used to a considerable
extent for stock feed and has the ad-
vantage Of being quite hardy.

Quarantine On
Currant and Also
Gooseberry Plants

Two important orders have recently
been issued by the Secretary Of Agri-
culture, effective June LIST. on account
OF the white pine blister rust. One OF
these orders prohibits the further i'm
portation of currant and gooseberry
plants from Europe and Asia The
other order guarantees all the states
east of and including the states of
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas,
and Louisiana, and prohibits the move
ment from these states to points out
side the quarantined area of all five
leated pines and currant and goose
berry plants. There is further pro-
hibiuon of the movement of five
leafed pines and black currant plants
to any point outside the heavily in
fected region comprising the New
England states and the state of New
York. This additional quarantine is
made for the purpose of protecting
other quarantined States as we'll as the
remainder of the country. from pos
slble Infection by white pine blister
rust by means of the plants mentioned
While this domestic quarantine, as
noted. did not become effective until
June LIST, the attention of all nursery
men was called to the fact that their
voluntary promise nd agreement
of a year or more ago not to ship any
white pines or currant or gooseberry
plants into the Rocky Mountain and
the Pacific Slope states is expected to
remain in full force and effect. and

filthiest insects with which we have

Some farmers wives hang sticky fly

HOW no TEST SEEDS FOR
SEEDING RATE,

Most Of the commoner seeds, in
Guiding the cereals. clover and alfalfa.
may be tested for termination easily
and quickly on the farm Take a fair
sample Of the seed to be planted and
count 100 seeds. Fold newspaper
80 there will be dozen thicknesses,
six by twelve inches: soak it in water.
squeeze out so it will not drip and lay
on DINNER plate. Place the seeds on
the paper SO they will not touch eacT,
other and fold the wet paper over the
top to cover them. Turn another din
ner plate over this and keep at room
temperature for four or FIVE days.
Examine the seeds and count
ont those which have terminated
and If there are still seeds which
have neither terminated nor decayed,
wet the paper again if necessary and
set away for two or three days more.
and again count those which have
germ mated. This shows the proper
tion of live seed and the proper rate
of seeding is determined accordingly.
