Benefits From Gardening.

The man who puts in honest and con Scientious work on his garden must be winner, even if not one radish ever finds its way to his dinner table. He is benefited by the vigorous outdoor work He is strengthened by the con sciousness of having done his best. And he has gained valuable expert ence which will enable him to do bet ter next year.
 It is safe to predict that t'e gar dens that fail to produce anything will be very few. The spirit which in- spires the backyard gardener Is the spirit that works miracles. Of those who undertake the work with little hope the majority are likely to be happily surprised. Even partial sue cess is an abundant reward, and 1t will be an incentive for more intelligent though not more conscientious work in the future.-EXchange

Food Demonstration.

Food Demonstration.
 Plans for practical demonstration oS food preparedness at the county teachers institutes are being made by J. L. Bond, state superintendent of public instruction. MT. Bond is send- ing letters to the county superintend. ents and examiners asking that five days of each institute to be devoted to the demonstration, at which the county demonstration and canning club agents will be asked to cooper ate. The program suggested by MT. Bond includes work by both the can. ming club agent and the demonstra- tion agent, and it is probable that a joint program will be arranged. The first day of the demonstration would include general outline of food con servation and garden work; the sec ond instructions on the manufacture and use of the home canned and field food crops; the third, drying fruits and vegetables and the care and breeding of live stock; the fourth, canning beans and cultivation of food crops; and the fifth, canning toma- toes and farm management.
