GOOD SUCCESSION OF CROPS

Various Vegetables.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
All the ground in the garden should
be kept fully occupied all the season.
AS soon as one crop is removed, some
thing else should take its place. The
following grouping of vegetables will
serve to Indicate which ones may pre-
cede or follow others.

Season.

Late Crops Which May Follow Others.
Beets Corn, sweet
BRUSSELS sprouts Kale

In planning the garden all early-ma-
turing crops should be grouped to-
gether, so that after removal the
ground will be available as unit for
planting something else. 1t is not al
ways necessary to wait until the crop
Is removed. Late cabbage or sweet
corn may be planted between the rows
Of early potatoes Some two or three
weeks before the potatoes are har-
vested. Some dissinilar crop should
follow the first crop occupying the
ground, in order to help in the control
of insects and diseases.

ONCE ORIENT PRIDE
Old Merv Is Now but a DeSoIate
Place of Ruin.
Practically Obliterated by the Great
Conqueror, Jhenahix Khan, Whose
Son Had Fallen In the AS
saults on the City.

We passed by New Merry and went
on to Bairam Ali, named after one of
the sons Of Timur, which is the station
for Old Merv and the demesne of the
Mmghab, formerly the property Of the
royal family. Maynard Owen Williams
writes in the Christian Herald. Barr
am All resembles the great pyramids
in that it stands between the desert
and the town. Accompanied by the
twenty-year-old commissar, remark
ably intelligent young Russian upon
whom devolves the task Of governing
the district with a decreasing police
force, we visited the various ruins
which mark the spots where the sue
cessive editions of Merv stood Merry
is mentioned in the Zoroastrian books
of wisdom and, like every other old
city, owed its existence to n river-the
Murghab. Seleucus Nikator once
founded colony here and for con-
siderable period 1t was the home of n
large band of HISTORIANS. But ii was
not until the Arabs, to whom modern
civilization owes so much, took charge,
soon after the death of Mohamet, that
Merv became true metropolis. Huge
dams We're erected on the Murghab and
the entire oasis was well watered from
the irrigating bitches. Merv then ri.
vailed Bagdad as the greatest city in
the orient.
Five centuries later. Jhenghiz Khan,
enraged by the death of his son before
the rampartS of the queen city of the
world, utterly destroyed 1t. The Arabic
writer's assert that nearly a million
persons were killed at this time. Arabic
writer's estimated figures In typicaliy
freehanded way.
For 200 years Merv was ruin, but
In the fifteenth century 1t was rebuilt
and continued to exist until 1895, when
the emir of Bokhara destroyed the
wonderful dam at Sultan Bent and
thus turned the lovely oasis into des-
ert. Massive as they are, the ruins Of
Old Merry are devoid of interest The
young commissar, In speaking of the
ruins, said, "What signs and tears
these crumbing walls have cost"

A half-acre garden, If cared for prop
erly, will produce far more vegetables
than the average family can consume
during the maturing period of the
crops. Only a small portion of gar
den Of this size should he devoted to
those vegetables that must be used as
soon as they reach maturity. 1t is
advisable to devote the major portion
OF the space to those crops which IL
not needed at once may be kept for
winter use. In fact, IL the space is
available the garden should be planned
with the definite purpose of growing
crops for storage for winter use.
Late beets, late cabbage. carrots cell
cry, onions, parsnips. late potatoes,
sweet potatoes. satisfy, and late tur-
nips may be stored In their natural
condition and If possible should he
grown to the extent Of the family
needs for storage for winter use.
Work Garden All Season.
1t is possible in nearly all sections
of the country to grow late beets, late
cabbage, late potatoes and turnips on
ground that has already produced a
crop of lettuce, radishes, beans. early
peas, early potatoes or some crop re-
quiring a relatively short period for
its maturity. Gardeners are inclined
to neglect the opportunities for crop
production in the garden after the first
of the season has passed and frequent

pipes in the basement, 40 per cent of
the heat produced is saved, with a
consequent saving of 40 per cent In
fuel to obtain the same degree of heat
where heat is needed.
There Is another advantage, too,
which will appeal to those living In
small towns or in farm homes. The
basement, or cellar, is the family cold
storage warehouse. In it is stored the
things which to be preserved during
the winter must be kept cold.
The pipeless furnace Is making a
strong bid for business from the own
ers of small stores, banks, etc. While
it does away with one of the country's
most famous institutions, the old-fash-
toned country store stove, honored in
story and verse, 1t has the advantage
of giving the storekeeper additional
space In which to transact business.

Chain Arnor to Protect the Eyes.

An ingenious improvement has re-
Gently been made to the already famll-
lar steel shrapnel helmet in use lover
there" says the Popular Science
Monthly. 1t is designed to protect the
eyes and the upper part of the face
from splinters of wood, stone, sand and
metal thrown up by exploding shells.
The new device is merely an adapta-
ton of the chain doors which have
been introduced into metal, chemical
and glass works in recent years to pro-
tect the workers from the heat of the
furnaces and the splashes of molten
material. 1t consists of a fringe of
separate short lengths of fairly heavy
chain, which effectively arrests the fly
ing particles. On account Of its loose
nes', it does not seriously interfere
with the vision.

with an "original idea" 1t was orig
inaI, too, in part.
"Why not" he probably said to him
self, running his hand through his
hair, or holding his chin between thumb
and forefnger, or doing some one of
the many things men do in stories
when hey are IN deep thought-"why
not save that wasted HEATH"
So he set about to save 1t and he did.
He invented the pipeless furnace.
For the benefit of those who do not
know what pipeless furnace is, it is
suggested that the first paragraph or
rather the first two paragraphs of this
article be read again. The pipeless
furnace was invented In Civil war
times. But the modern inventor had
the benefit of the scientific facts of
the circulation Of air and the expert
ence of the furnace men In the applica-

Circulation Is Provided.
This he did by making a register,

part of the cold air register and the
other of the hot air into the building
and at the same time sucked out the
cold air. In other words, it provided
circulation.
If you are not an expert on heating
devices, you will undoubtedly have a
lot of questions in your mind. The
writer had, but he had an advantage
over you-he asked them of men who
are experts, and got the answers. They
are now passed on to you.
"How," one man was asked. ''can a
house, say one and half stories high
containing six rooms, be heated from
one register?"
Then it was explained. No attempt
will be made to quote the expert liter.
ally, but here is. what he said, in sub.
stance:
The modern house is open. That is
there are practically no rooms on the
first floor, with the exception of the
kitchen, that are shut off from the
others. This is necessary to make a
pipeless furnace efficient. Bedrooms
are shut off. but usually only at night

ceiling it does not STOP, but continues
to wherever it can find cir colder thar

chilly brother until 1t, itself, become:
cold, or rather less warm, and then il
starts to descend.
This continuous stream of heated
air eventually drives out the colder all

The same kind of vegetables should
not be grown twice, if this can be
avoided, in the same part of the gar
den. If a radically different kind Is
grown. disease spores and insects,
though present in the soil, probably

Plants which grow high and cause
