FIRST AID TO GARDEN LANDS.
How to Get Soil in Shape for Planting
in Food Crops.

If your thrift garden plot was
worked as a garden last year, its prep
aration for this years planting will be
comparatively easy, according to Unit
ed States department of agriculture
specialists. First, any remains of last
years crops should be either burned or
hauled away. They have slight value
as a manure, but often are carriers OF
disease and it is best to destroy them.
The next step will be to give the land
thorough coating of manure if it can
be procured. 1t is then ready for plow-
| ing or spading.
In case the land was not planted
last year but is what might be termed
new land, the first step will be to re-
move any weeds or trash that would
interfere with blowing or spading.
Sometimes the land is covered with
stones or broken bricks, and these
must necessarily either be hauled off
or piled to4one side or one end Aof the
plot In some cases, good substantial
stone fences have BEEN built along the
sides of the plots from the stones
picked from the land. In the war dew
astated zones of France, gardens are
now growing inside the foundations of
ruined houses. Every foot of ground
! is being utilized by these people for
producing something to eat
The third type of land that will be
encountered is that which has been in
sod for number of years. Early and
Thorough blowing or spading is about
the only method of getting this type of
land into condition. Sod land Is filed
with the green roots of the grass grow
ing upon it and unless these roots are
| thoroughly broken and started to de-
cav, garden crops will not do well upon
the land For this reason fall blowing
! is advisable and if an application OF
| manure can be made, either to be
plowed under or as a top dressing after
| blowing. it will assist very materially
| In the decomposition of the roots in the
soil. After this decay is partly accom-
plished another stirring or turning of
| the soil will aid materially in bringing
| it into the proper condition. In cold
sections of the country, freezing and
thawing play an important part IN the
preparation of this class of soil, and II
| the land is turned up to the elements
during the autumn it will become pull
verified and mellow by the time it is IN
shape to work in the springtime.
Where a group of gardens are being
located on sod land, it is a good plan
to tear up the sod by means of disk
harrow before blowing, Then, in the
spring preparation OF the land, the disk
may again be used to advantage, cut
ting in both directions so as to break
up the roots and other material In the
soil. Splendid gardens have been
| grown on sod land where the proper
methods of soil preparation and culti-
walton have been provided.

Washington, March l2.-The treas

to the European countries. Govern

they are not worth the paper ON whieh
they are printed"

ficates increased living costs y MI
Frear asked.
"That is broad field you are enter

bring down COSTS" Secretary Houston
replied.
Immediate decrease in taxes is i'm
possible, the secretary told the com

Chairman Fordney. He added that il

DR. w. B. Caldwell Of Mon
ticello, Illinois, was and is a
- family doctor. The whole
human body, not any small part
oft. was his practice. More than
half his "calls" were on women,
children and babies. They are
the ones most often sick. But
their illnesses were usually OF a
minor nature-colds, fevers, head.
aches, biliousness-and all OF
them required first a thorough
evacuation. They we're constlpated.
DR.. Caldwell in the course OF 40
wears practice, for he was grad
uated from Rush Medical College
back in 1875, had found a good
deal of success in such cases with
prescription Of his own contain
ing simple laxative herbs with
pepsin. In 1892 he decided to
use this formula in the manufac-
ture Of medicine to be known as
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and
in that year the preparation was
first placed on the market. The
picture of DIR. Caldwell that ap-
pears on the package was taken in
that year.
The preparation Immediately
had as great a success in the drug
stores as it previously had in the
doctors private practice. Today
the third generation is using it.

broom corn and has obtained a limited
foothold in the eastern part of the
country.
Large sums are being spent in an
effort TO control it and a ruling soon is
expected from the federal horticultural
board as to whether a quarantine shall
