| This is a season of good gardens,
and many people will have more veg
etables than they can use for their
own families. We ought not to let any
vegetables that can possibly be util-
lied go to waste. Lettuce and radishes
should be used fresh and when in
! their prime. If you have surplus,
give to neighbors who have none.
Peas, string beans, spinach or Swiss
chard may be canned, and all who
have more than they put up or use
+, fresh, are asked to see that someone
who will use these vegetables get
them while they are in good condi-
4 ton. Peas and string beans, if not
picked at the proper time, soon be-
come too hard to use, and are thus
| wasted. Get in touch with your neigh
bOrs, and see that all vegetables are
gathered and used or put up at the
proper time. This applies also to cur
rants, gooseberries, and other berries
or fruits. This is doing your "bit" in
the way of food conservation.

We have always heard that sheep
we're very profitable to raise and the
following will bear out this statement.
Wellington Rockwell has a eve that
gave birth to four lambs, all of which
are living and growing nicely, Out
of curiosity he kept the fleece from
this eve separate and sold it, receiv-
ing $3.50 for the same from j. G. Hull
& Son. He told Mr.. Hull Of the four
lambs at home and the latter bought
the lambs at twelve cents per pound,
to be delivered when they weigh nine
ty pounds each. This will make the
revenue from one eve $51. Is there
any better investment for the farmer
than in sheep?-Viola News.

the line happen to catch a catfish
wearing "specks," please notify him,
and he will appreciate the favor
