A poultry magazine prints the picture
of n rooster that Matched out brood OF

The Tigers have gone up from seventh

Gardens Should Be Frequently
and Adequately Cultivated

~T>ICKLE the ground with the hoe"
runs an old adage. ''and you will
make II laugh with the harvest"
That is only another way Of saying
that cultivation Is necessary In order to
make the garden grow. and cultivation
reduced to Its lowest terms means moth
ing more or less than the constant use
Of the hoe.
The average amateur supposes that
the reason why he hoes the garden IN
to keep down the weeds. That, of
course, Is a necessary part OF garden
Ing. but every time the ground Is stir
red what is termed by farmers a dust
mulch" Is created. which serves TO lock
the moisture into the ground.
Everybody knows that the OIL In n
lamp rises through the wick by reason
Of what Is termed capillary action. The
moisture rises through the soil In ex-
actly the same way when the surface
Is packed hard. then being evaporated
and lost In the air.
When the surface OF the soil Is kept
loose this escape of the moisture Is
greatly retarded. II follows. therefore
that the most important time OF all for
cultivAting the garden IN as soon after
q rain as the ground can be worked
II must not be hoed when sticky, but
prompt cultivation will help to hold
the water which has entered the
ground.
1t Is also very important to cultivate
frequently during a dry season. for the
sun bakes the earth unless II Is kept
constantly stirred. A good hoeing IN
midsummer Is often worth almost al
much as q shower.
The time TO start cultivation is the
moment the plants begin to poke theL
heads through the ground II Is neces
| sary TO have air as well as water In
the soil II the plants are to thrive. and
this is accomplished when cultivation
keeps the soil loose.
OF course II isn't necessary to use Z
hand hoe all the time. II the garden 4
q large one, a wheel hoe is almost Z
necessity, although much labor can b
saved with a scuffie hoe II the soil Il
not heavy and full Of stones.
Once week Is none too often TO cul
tivate the garden all the seasoI
through, and the most successful gar
deners will probably hoe the crop
twice as often. The oftener this worl
Is done the easier II becomes, for !
is not at all hard TO cultivate sol
which IL In good tilth, while groun'

Cultivation, therefore, should be 80

Of garden work. even though II ma!

SPRING PASTURE FOR STOCK
Expensive Feed Billie VIII Be saved
and Milk Flow Kept Up-Rye
and Glover Favored.
By J. q. wATSON.)

Are you preparing for early spring
pasture3 Early spring almost invari-
ably finds us short of feed. How are
you planning for that shortage3 Early
pasture will save expensive feed bills
and help keep up the milk yield. A
good fall and early spring pasture Is
rye or q mixture Of rye and crimson
clover. Early-sown rye gives con-
siderable feed in the fall but should
not be grazed too closely or the plants
may be vinter-killed.
The clover crop makes about hall
its growth during the last 30 days OF
its grazing period, that IL under nor
NAL conditions, 90 that 1t can be heav'
fly grazed during that time. Thia
should allow the permanent pasture
to get a good start before turning on
Il and It will be stronger and provide
more pasture than II grazed early.
Late fall and early spring pasture
means cheaper production and iarse'
yields.

WHAT A HOME WATER SUPPLY
MEANS

You can't blame a girl for not
wanting to marry farmer when
she has to tote" thousand pounds
of water a day, 365 days year.
When she wants glass Of water
she must go TO the well and pull up
n heavy bucket or else pump IL.
Maybe walk quarter or a hall
mile TO a spring. Suppose someone
wants bath - all right, get down
the wash tub and put IL in the house
and tote" in the water. Saturday
il is I'LL the wash boiler so there
will be enough warm water for the
whole family. Tote water, tote
water. then tote some more water,
and finally tote out all the dirty
water. Miss Farmers Daughter
goes to the city and here the city
cousin just turns a faucet and she
gets all the water she wants. Pull
a plug out Of the bottom Of the sink
or bath tub and the dirty water
runs out and away. The same thing
works with the boy.
Put In waterworks and use a
gasoline engine to pump the water
tell son that IL is his job TO keep
this engine running. Then step
back and watch "son' throw out his
chest. You have started TO work on
the city fever. Running water In
your home with bath. etc, will
make your children hold their heads
a little higher and feel that their
city cousin hasn't so much on them
after all.
There is someone else who is con-
cerned in this waterworks problem
this is the farmers wife. She
has to meet this problem every
hour Of the day. She is the one
that suffers most. Yet she suffers
IN silence mostly. Mother Is used
to giving up things that someone
'lSf may HdN' S''i'Nhiih' '""' u

the farmer needs something in the
line OF improvements the money
goes for that in place OF water
works. But should it9
