This is the message of the United
States Department of Agriculture to
every family. Those who cannot pro-
duce. can conserve and save food.
There must be no backsliding among
experienced gardeners; they must re-
peat their contribution of food. Alb
sence of novelty must not deter those
who tried gardening for the first time
in 1917 from capitalizing their IN
creased knowledge and skill. Those
with experience must help thousands
of beginners to make every seed count
to get satisfactory returns from
their work with hoe, rake and water
ing can. There must be no stacking
off. Gardening is everybody's busl-
ness, but in -191S every one must at
tend to that business.
And now a word OF caution. Dont
plant more than you can cultivate;
don't try to raise more than you can
use. And water Systematically all
spring and summer. A few square
wards we'll titled will yield more than
half acre allowed to run to weeds.
The Department advises strongly
AGAINST effort by amateur gardeners
to produce truck crops for sale. Such
enterprises commonly prove unwise'
bnrdensome to all concerned, and not
infreuuently financially Improbable.
Much precious seed and fertilizer-to
saw nothing of time and labor-were
wasted last year in such UNDERTAKINGS.

Big Loss By Fire.
IL Head of Cattle and 8 Horses
Consumed in Big Blaze.

Causing damage to the extent OF about
$40, 900, a destructive fire. of unknown
origin, occurred on the farm of Albert
and Meade Patterson, of Emmitsburg,
at an early hour Monday morning. The
barn was completely destroyed, together
with all the fodder, 10 tons of cotton
seed meal, hay. farming implements and
harness. Eighteen head of cattle and
head of horses and mules were also
burned in the blaze.
The barn was one of the largest in
Frederick County, being OF brick and
weather boarded, and was 1872 feet long.
The Patterson Brothers run and stock
the farm, and Robert Eyler and his broth
er are the operators. 1t was stated one
of the men had returned to the place,
which is three-quarters of a mile from
Emmitsburg. about 10 o'clock Sunday
evening. Everything was all right about
the place at that time. Shortly after z
O'Clock Monday morning, the reflection
of the fire aroused the household. The
men at once went to the barn, but by
that time the roof had fallen in.
Neighbors arrived on the scene prompt
ly and they were able to rescue 36 head
of cattle and horses. The fire was al
so kept from spreading. The chicken
houses, corn sheds and other buildings
were saved. The fire burned with great
rapidity, and the reflection could be
seen for miles around. the flames were
so great.
The wheat crop was sold only recently,
and fortunately had been delivered. The
Patterson Brothers are stock dealers and
had planned to have sale in the spring.
The loss is partly covered by insurance.
