STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
p BILLY SEES RED
By Farmer Smith

When our good friend Billy Bumpus
climbed up on the timber chest with the
three artillerymen he was somewhat sur
prised TO think they would let him ride.
He was, strange TO say, welcomed by the
soldiers.
After he was comfortably settled, he be-
gan TO look around for something TO eat.
Little grains Of something were coming out
OF the chest and Billy nibbled them with
great relish. He knew the timber chase
contained the shells for the cannon but he
was at. a loss 20 know what the black stun
was He ate a grain at a time, until finally
he grew tired and waited until quite a lot
of the black grains had accumulated, and
then he started to eating them, holding on
rs best he could as the two front wheels
bumped over the ground.
Billy's eyes glistened as he saw the little
grains all piled up nicely in front OF him.
He did not notice. however. that there was
q nal right In the middle OF the pile OF
black grains. which were. OF course. powder.
II was. indeed, strange that Billy Bump
us's teeth came in contact with that nail.
But II was not strange that the powder
blew up with a bang
The three soldiers on the timber chest
rot % hastily. while the artillerymeu on
the hornea tried their best % quiet the
horses which were prpnc.nG ry this time

loops of tape or cloth.
There are two types of squnshes--sum
mer and winter. Summer squashes are
small and are eaten when the seeds are
soft. II is wise TO pick before full ma.
turity. The larger winter sQuashes grow
to full maturity and may be stored Sum
mer squashes are bushy and need less space
than the winter variety. When the vines
are allowed 10 run along the ground they
may be planted in hills four feet apart
whereas the hills of winter vines should be
planted eight to ten feet apart Manure

Three or four squash vines will supply a

Treatment of canteloupes or musknelor

Is also the newly developed Bush musk

CULTURE OF PUMPKINS
Pumpkins cannot be handled on poIe,
or stakes, but are often allowed to rur
among the corn. They like good soil ant
plenty of sun. Varieties are New England
Pie and Quaker Pie.
All members of this group are susceptlbl,

to get off the timber chest and onto the
ground. Then he went up to the side Of the
off horse and waited quietly until tho racket
was over--then he trotted along beside the
horse.
BY and by the sun got high in the heav.
ems and when the stop was made for the
noon meal Billy discovered something
which he had not seen before. It was the
red blankets which were under the saddles
on the artillery horses.
Red always makes me feel queer, ("
thought Billy. "It makes me hungry and
it makes me want 70 fight" Then an idea
struck him He would wait until the horses
were Embarrassed and then he would--it
made his mouth water TO think Of It.
There's funny look in your eye." said
the on Horse to Billy after he had shaken
himself and started in to eat his dinner,
What does the funny look look Ike 9'
asked Billy.
You look hungry" said the Horse,
You have guessed It! That is what I
call horse sense" replied Billy what
would you suggest my eating?"
All the time Billy was waiting for n
moment when the on Horse was not look
ing so that he might eat the red blanket
which he had noticed. BY and by the time
came, and when the men were busy and
the horses all occupied eating their hay
Billy quietly took the red blanket, which
belonged to the on Horse, and went on
with IT,
There was a wide-spreading oak near
where the camp was located, and under this
Billy sat down to eat the blanket. After
he had eaten It, he started back to the
camp
Something was the matter.
Men were looking everywhere. Billy
wondered wnat they were looking for. One
Of the soldiers said, That blanket was right
here when I went away, but I don't know
where II is now"
'Ill bet that goat ate IT," suggested an
other
Lets look down his throat" said an
other soldier. II was but a minute before
they had Billy down on the ground and
were looking down his throat
Il can't see a thing" said a corporal
"Of course you can't" replied a sergeant
why can't We feel Of his sidesT'
Tickle. tickle, tickle.
Billy had never known his sides were 50

himself being lowered into a hole

cucumbers, squashes and melons take UP
more ground than can be afforded In the
average home garden handled in the old
fashioned way of allowing them TO run as
vines "over all creation" Like nearly all
plants, they can be adapted successfully 70
conditions. Home gardeners can follow the
method OF hothouse nurserymen, who econ
omze on ground and heat by training them
10 poles, trelllses or stakes.
In the home garden. plants that creep
must be made to climb. This is one secret
of profitable home gardening. Home gar
deners should practice intensive cultivation
of every inch of available territory.
CULTURE OF cUcUMBERs
No crop offers better opportunity than
eucumbers
As usually grown, cucumbers are planted
20 spread along the ground. When there is
abundant space in a garden this method
is all right. In small gardens cucumbers
should not be grown at all unless they are
TO be trained up on poles or trelises, al
lowing much closer planting. When they
are trained to climb vines may be fifteen
or eighteen inches apart A useful method
is to plant them on the south side OF tho
garden fence, so that vines may follow
twine or wires to the top. In training vines
tie with soft cotton yarn, taking care not
TO injure the vines. If 'arge slicing cucum-
bers are grown. it may be necessary to
support them with loops of tape.
Since cucumbers thrive In rich soil, a
suggested method Of the National Emer-
gency Home Garden Commission is to plant
them around a leaky barrel, training
them up the sides. In the barrel should be
placed two bushels OF manure and water
frequently poured in the barrel, Leaking
out it will fertiize the soil about the bottom
Cucumbers must not be planted until after
all danger CT frost. Planting may continue
up to July. Plant the seeds rather deeply
one to two inches-and thick enough so as

required distance. They need frequent culti-
walton. For pickles, cucumbers are picked
when under four inches long. For slicing
they may be allowed to grow eight or ten
inches long. Keep the fruit picked TO avoid
going TO seed.
When planting either to hills or poles II
is a good idea to dig a foot-deep hole and
fll with well-rotted manure, Good varieties
are White Spine for slicing, Cool and Crisp
for sliclng and piclSling; Japanese Climbing
are excellent fer pole training
CULTURE OF SQUASH
Gardeners can grow squash or cante-
loupes in restricted areas II the cultural
plan for pole-trained cucumbers is followed
