Little Journeys
In the Garden

Many Americans do not eat enough
greens and salad vegetables for their
health.
One of the best things about the gar
den is that it offers work suited to each
member of the family.
-:-
What is a back yard good for? 1t
may be made to supply the average
family with fresh vegetables through
the growing season.
A weed is any plant in the wrong
lplace. Vegetables too close together are
as injurious as weeds. Thin them out
before they are large enough to crowd.
-
A few crops well chosen and proper
lily cultivated are preferable to a mis-
cellaneous assortment one Of which
will supply enough vegetables to make
a full serving for the entire family.

Out Of the garden and over the fire.
Sweet corn begins to detcIiorate almost
as soon as 1t is picked. No one knows
| its true flavor unless he has seen it
come smoking hot to the table within
an hour after being pulled from the
stalk.
Clay soil should not be plowcd or
spaded in spring nor cultivated after a
rain until it ceases to he sticky. 1t is
ready for working when handful Of
| 1t, after being squeezed tightly, cr,im-
bles readily instead of remaining in a
solid mass.
Have your onions stuck up their
periscopes? II onions are to be grown
from seed, they should be planted early
in the spring 1.-The earlier the better.
Seeding onions require the greatest
care in soil preparation and culture, so
the beginner in gardening will do well
to stick to the onion sets.
-
1t is really surprising how much food
in the form of green's or salad crops
can be grown in the spaces between the
plants or rows Of the larger or standard
crops. For example, all the lettuce and
radishes required by the average fam
lily may be grown between the plants Of
early tOma toes.
The supply Of manure in cities is
now quite limited, and it behO0ves the
city gardener to secure enough some
where to fertilize his garden plat, es-
pecially ii his soil is heavy and lack
ing in organic matter. Where manure
cannot be obtained, number Of crops,
such as Irish potatoes, beans, peas and
tomatoes, can be grown fairly well by
the aid of commercial fertilizers. Street
sweepings are unsafe to use if they con-
tain much oil or tar.
-
Water still runs down hill. Practice
level culture for most vegetables. Do
not make raised bed on which to plant
nor hill up much earth along the rows
in cultivation. Raised areas lose wa
ter, not only because it flows away, but
also because they are exposed to the
drying action of the air. Sweet pOta-
toes, however, are usually planted on a
low, broad ridge to insure a good bed
of, loose earth in which their roots may
develop Irish potatoes, too, are COM
monty hilled up in cultivation, but the
killing should besvery slight in regions
and on soils where some drought is to
be expected.
A garden that produces only one crop
and idles away half Of the growing
Season does only half Its duty.

the league, charged with conspiracy

Attorneys on both sides spent con.

prospective jurors whether they had

case. The three jurors accepted, all

trial, but that the case involved only

Fergus Falls, June 24.-Mayor Geo.
Frankberg, today estimated that the
city's tornado loss is not less than

vey Of the city shows that the early
estimate Of a million and half loss is
too conservative.

FARMERS HON E
Shocking Tragedy Occurs in
Home Near Pretty Rock in
Absence of Parents

q, Pretty Rock, N. D., June a.
Aroused by the screams Of their
infant brother, five young chill
dren Of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
sPreieheI, homesteaders residing
near this place, awoke to find the
three.mo onths'oId baby being torn
to pieces by sow. The young
sters rescued the baby from the
animal, but not until it was SO
badly torn that it died the follow
ing day.
The parents were abroad in the
field breaking, leaving their fam
lily of six children, the Oldest Of
whom is eleven and the youngest
three months, asleep in the tenn
porary shack in which they made
their home. There was a space
at one end of the shed Of about
a foot which was filled in with.
sod. The COW had burrowed her
way in at this point. Whether
she snatched the baby from the
bed where it was sleeping, or
"VctUcr IUS SUIIO soA 'o"S' w
the ground before the animal got
into the house, is not known.
When the children were arous-
ed by the baby's screams and
the grunting Of the sow as she
proceeded with her unholy feast,
the infant was already terribly
mang|ed and practically all OF its
back had been eaten away. A
physician was summoned as soon
as the father and mother could
be brought back from the field,
and aid was promptly administer
ed, but the child was SO terribly
torn that it only lived through
the night.
