And because one planting Of field crops
suffices. too many farmers pursue the
same policy as to garden crops. They
get into the habit Of making one
planting OF vegetables in the spring
and then thinking that will count for
the whole year.
This is n big mistake. If you will
study the planting tables in our ref
crence special you will find recommend
ed about half as many things for
planting in June. July or August as In
March or April.
Every interest. both of health and
economy demands that the average
Southern farmer raise twice as many
vegetables as he now raises. In fact,
he ought to raise twice as many Of the
vegetables he is now familiar with;
and he ought to set acquainted with
a>lot he doesn't now know about. Cab

were less hardy he could not endure

IN his native land. for there he is

Grain. iron. furniture. coal. ore and
merchandise of all kinds are trans
: ported to all parts OF the islands on
the backs of the tough little animals.
Three hundred pounds is the usual load
for each pony, and long lines Of these
laden little beasts wind in and out
anonS the hills of their native land.
The genuine Shetland pony. produced
from the pure breeds of the Shetland
and Orkney Islands, has become so
popular and useful that the business
of raising ponies has grown important.
The business is not so simple as it
might appear at first glance. In the
; .hrst place, the proEenitors-sires and
-dams-are usually selected in the Shet-
= land Islands. Occasionally desirable
breeds may be found in the interior OF
o-some OF the other northern islands
bordering Scotland. but the majority
are found in the Shetland lslancs,

are grown persons who SO admire the
sturdy little ponies that they prefer

horse. They make up in strength and
endurance what they lack in size.
On farms where these little ponies
are raised for the market. Kindness is
practiced under all circumstances in
their training. THIS is very important.
because most of these animals. in this
country at least. are sold for the pleas
ure Of young boys and girls. and 1t is
essential that they be trained 10 be
