and of excellent quality. Horse-rad-
ish grows on almost any kind of soil,
and will stand the dry weather as well
as potatoes. In planting horse-radish,
fit the soil the same as for strawber-
ries, and cultivate the same as any
other garden crop.
Many persons plant horse-radish in
some out-of-the-way spot and dig
piece of the root as often us needed,
leaving the fragments of roots in the
soil to grow for further use. This
method results in having nothing but
tough, stringy roots, very unlike the
product Of properly planted and well
cared for bed. The best roots are those
planted in the spring at the time Of
setting early cabbage, and dug as late
the same fall as the weather will per-

INCREASE YIELD BY PRUNING
Pinch Of Center Buds, Thus Throwing
Energy Of Plants to Formation
and Ripening Of Fruit.

The yield and quality Of many veg
etables can be increased by pruning
and pinching off center buds, thus
throwing the energy of the plants to
the formation and ripening of fruit.
With muskmelons and cantaloupes I
always pinch of the center bud of the
main vine when it reaches length Of
four or five feet, says writer. Gu
cumbers are treated In a like manner.
Such treatment results in increased
size Of the fruit and fastening Of
maturity. For the same reason the
ends Of pole and lima bean vines are
pinched OF when they reach a height
Of six feet.
Tomato vines expected to yield an
early crop are pruned severely. But
three stalks are allowed to develop, all
side shoots being pinched of as soon
as they begin to form. The three stalks
are firmly supported by stake four
feet in height.
When the vines reach the top Of the
stake the center bud is pinched out.
This stops height growth and throws
all the energy Of the vine to the de-
veloping and ripening Of fruit already
set. By following this method have
obtained as high as 40 fine, perfect
tomatoes from a single plant.

FOR THIRSTY GARDENS
Windmill Plays Important Part in
Production of Food.
Lack Of Timely Rainfall 10 Often
Doom Of Otherwise Carefully Ham
died and Tended Pateh-con-
serve Water Pumped.

That the farm windmill should play
an important part this year in the
great food-production campaign, is the
belief of 81. B. Walker, drainage and
irrigation engineer, Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
1.-THE farm windmill should be no
Stacker this year." said Professor
Walker. ut should be ready day and
night to absorb the energy of the wind
to lift water for thirsty gardens. Lack
of timely rainfall is often the doom Of
an otherwise carefully handled and
tended vegetable garden.
"This year the farm garden will be
an important factor in reducing the
cost of living. Accordingly, every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent
failure Of the garden crops. In those
areas where the natural rainfall Is not
dependable, some simple method Of ir-
rtgation should be provided"
The farm windmill will serve faith
fully and well in lifting water for ir-
rigation If given an opportunity, Pro-
fessor Walker pointed out. This faith
full source Of farm power, however, will
not save the garden unless the owner
co-operates in conserving the water
pumped. The average windmill lifts
water internationally and at slow
rate. Consequently, If the water
pumped is allowed to flow directly onto
the warm, dry soil, small area only
can be satisfactorily CO erred. A small
trickling flow does not spread laterally
over the surface of the soil, but it per-
colates deeply into the soil beyond the
reach Of the shallow-rooted vegetables.
If the water lifted, on the other
hand, is stored in tanks. barrels, or
reservoirs, volume sufficiently large
can be secured in a surprisingly short
time to effectively frrigate a much
larger area. A barrel Of water con-
tanning BIZ gallons will cover a gar
den bed six feet wide by eight feet
long, one inch deep. A quantity Of
water even as small as this, If properly
applied, will greatly help the lettuce
bed or the shallow-rooted radishes. 1t
is advisable, therefore. to use even
an ordinary barrel for storage, If moth
Ing larger is available, in preference to
direct pumping.
A reservoir sufficiently large to hold
all Of the water the average windmill
can pump in three or four days is
much more desirable.

EUROPE FOR CLEAN MOVIES
Foreign Countries Are Buying Much

Europe is buying more motion pic

ment to many grades of labor from

Europe finds in the ''movie" bit of

ment of American morals Is contained

How to loosen q tender corn
or callus 20 Il lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes size smaller II you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops Of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

ITO hasten the close of the war;"
adds Dean Woods, I'VE must feed the
people in the armies. The farmers are
doing everything possible and the peo-
pie Of the towns should assist by
avoiding waste and extravagance.
They should make gardens not only in
their back yards, but in their front
yards as well, and on vacant lots.
They should organize garden clubs, In
cluding women and children, and
grow enough to supply their needs not
only through the summer, but through
the winter. They can do this by in

il heightened in effect by the feathery
green foliage. 1t is most effective
when planted in broad masses or long
background borders against evergreens
or fences at some distance from the
house and the garden walks. From
seed started In the house in March or
April the plants will have reached
three or four feet in height by Sep
tember. The bright-colored, daisylike
flowers are borne in great profusion
and come at a season when they are
very acceptable. Because Of the ro-
bust habit of the plant the young seed
lings should be thinned to Is inches
apart when grown on moderately good
soil. Sowing the seed late and in poor
soil will dwarf the plants. In latitude
of Washington, d. c., the plants per-
petuate themselves from self-sown
seed. These volunteer plants can be
taken advantage of for early bloom.
