= Z Use Of tho Garden.
The value of the garden depends
largely on the use that is made of the
vegetables grown in it. There ia no
question but that the more good fresh,
vegetables can eat throughout the
year. the better health he will have.
For this reason every possible means
should he employed to preserve these
vegetables during the year. The girls
should be encouraged to take up work
with the canning clubs, with q view
to making use of all the surplus vege-
tables. With the present knowledge
Of canning and the use of the "cold
pack" process, nearly all surplus vege-
tables may be preserved for future
use. Tomatoes, beans, beets. corn.
etc., are especially susceptible to such
use. . q
1t should be realized that every doll
lars worth Of food that can be Sc
cured on the farm means that a dol
lar is saved for some other USE. There
are numerous examples Of what the
young folks a do in the a of put
ting up vegetables. A great many
