 There is evidence that a German central authority gave orders for dam age to these ships, so that none could be operated in less than IS months, and documentary proof that the enc my believed much of the damage to be irreparable. In less than eight months all the ships were in service.

Garden Space Valuable.

Just what vegetables are to be grown
depends, Of course, upon the individual
tastes of the. family. In general, the
aim Of the home gardener should be
to raise vegetables in which freshness
is an important quality. Peas, string
beans, Lima beans, asparagus and
sweet corn, for example, lose much If
they are not cooked almost immedl-
ately after they are picked. In the
case of potatoes, corn, cucumbers,
squashes and melons, 1t should be re-
membered that these vegetables occu-
by large area in proportion to their
yield and in small garden consume
valuable space which, in most cases,
could be used more profitably. In the
case of potatoes, however. 1t also
should be noted that they are easily
stored and are an extremely good
staple crop, and many gardeners will
find It to advantage to plant as much
ground to potatoes as possible after
sufficient space has been allotted to
the other garden crops.

come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, q smooth, rudy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure.
rich, red blood Is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.

meals, and for vegetable tonic there's

In making diagram of the garden
1t Is well to use tough paper, such as

possible to grow two or three crops
OF some vegetables in one season.
primary consideration In arrang-
ing the. garden Is the kind of cultiva-
tion to be employed. Where the work
Is to be done mainly by means of
horse-drawn tools the arrangement
should be such as to give the longest
possible rows and a straight outline
should be followed. The garden
should be free from paths across the
rows and turning spaces should be
provided at the ends. For hand cul-
ovation (the method that probably
VIII be used by most home gardeners)
the arrangement can be quite differ
emf, as the garden may be laid out in
sections with transverse walks and
the rows can be much closer for most
crops.
Remember Early Vegetables.
1t Is also important to consider the
location of permanent crops such as
anu IL any VI tlit
small fruits such as raspberries, cur
rants and gooseberries are to be
planted within the garden Enclosure
they should be included with the per-
manent crops. The location and area
for the hotbed, cOld-frame or seeded
should be decided upon, although
these may be shifted to some conven-
lent place outside the garden.
Where there Is great variety in the
composition of the soil in different
parts of the garden it will be advs-
able to note this when arranging for
the location of the various crops.
Such crops rs celery, onions and late
cabbage should be planted in land
that Is not too low and moist. If part
of the soil is high, warm and dry, that
is the proper location for early crops
and those that need quick, warm
soil.
Points to Consider.
Remember these points in planning
your garden:
A gentle slope toward the south or

production of early crops. 1t is an
advantage to have protection on the
north and northeast by either Il hill,
a group of trees or hedge, buildings,
a tight board fence or n stone wall
to break the force of the wind.
The land should have sufficient
drainage for surplus water to run off
during heavy rains, but the fall should
not be so great that the soil will be
washed. Fill up holes in which water
will accumulate. Avoid banks of u
creek or stream liable to overflow.
A good fence around the garden plot
is almost Indispensable to keep out
damaging animals.
The garden should be as near the
kitchen as possible so that the work
