VISITS MR.. McCAUCHY'S GAR.
DEN.

While the canning club girls Of
the county were here last week.
Miss Lena Bolt, home economic
agent, took them around to the home
Of Mr.. F. G. McGaughy to show them
a model garden. The garden is the
special pride Of Mr. McGaughy and
shows what can be done with 4 small
piece Of land properly planted and
worked.
The garden is laid off in squares
and forked up deep in the spring.
vegetables are planted and worked
just as they fit in the seasons, and as
they mature and r used on the ia
BILE, the ground is again planted and
replanted in an endless chain Of
successive crops that cover the en-
tire year. No weed or sprig of grass
is ever permitted to grow in the gar
den and it's appearance is that of the
home of an old maid who never per-
mits a child to get a look in. Seeds
are being sown and plants set now for
the fall garden and until Jack Frost
sends out his edict Mr.. McGaughy's
table will be supplied with the best
and freshest of summer and fall veg
etables, while the winter will also
find everything for the season await
ing it's turn. A square of rye during
the winter supplies the COW with
something green until the ground is
needed for vegetables in the spring.
The young ladies o fthe canning club
were highly pleased with this model
garden.

IMPROVE PASTURES.

This is the season of the year that
a lot of good work a be done on the
pastures as a large number OF the
farmers are catching up with their
field work. If there are bushes or
| sprouts growing in the pastures,
| these should be cut out ard thrown
into the gullies if there are any but
should there be no washes the bushes
ought to be burned. The bushes will
catch the soil that washes into the
gullies and help reclaim these waste
| places and at the same time allow
grass to grow where they have been
growing. The bushes should be cut
| below the surface of the soil so a
moving machine can be run over the
pastures without danger of breaking
the blades.
No more important work can be
done in the pastures than that of cut
ting the weeds. Weeds take mois-
ture and plant food from the soil
and at the same time furnish very
little food for the stock. In many
cases weeds are very -disagreeable as
some give the milk a bad flavor. The
bitter weed comes in this class of
weeds and in many cases practically
ruin pastures. Clipping the pas
lures with a moving machine will de-
| cf~or 4hnca onc%c 1oxyn conn <hA
bitter weed destroyed by cutting or
clipping the pasture three times in
one season.
Clipping will even improve a pas
ture that is free from weeds. Some
grasses grow more rapidly than 9TH
ers and some are relished more by
stock than others, therefore, some
coarse rank grass can be found in al
most every pasture. As this grass
becomes too tough to be palatable to
the stock, they will leave it and Craze
on the more, tender grasses where
they have been kept tender by con-
slant grazing, The tough over-grown
grasses take up room in the pastures
yet furnish little feed for the stock.
By clipping and raking the tougher
grasses off they will put out tender
blades which viii be eaten readily by
the stock because they are succulent
and more palatable. Will you try
Eclipping your pastures?
All grass and weeds cut from the
pastures should be raked and hauled
to the barns where they can be used
for bedding and then returned to the
Hand in the form of stable manure.
