erS are as essential as IOOu 10 me.
I believe God put them here for us
to love and admire and I 30. my
share.
My garden peas are up, about an
acre of them, looking fine, too. L
have a quarter acre not up yet, and
more to plant in February. Labor
is 50 scarce l can not get the seed
picked. I sold $50 worth of green
peas from, suppose, one-half acre,
last year, which far exceeded my
expectation, the only working they
had at all was one blowing and no
fertilizer. L do not approve Of such,
but it was that or not plant at all
at that time
The Lord surely blessed my eff
forts as he does in so many other
ways. All my life just feel like
want Him TO Tune my heart in
joyful sound to sing my great Re
deemer's praise" Let me say to
those that wrote to me for gourd
seed my letter was not printed UNI
til away after the season for plant
ing the seed was over and seed all
gone. Now I have some and the
time to plant is in February, as it
takes a long time for the seed to
terminate. All that wrote before if
they will send stamped envelope and
self-addressed, 1 will send a few
seed
If some one who has The Golden
banded lily of Japan, will send me
a bulb, L will give them in exchange
Tube Roses or gladiola or any other
lily bulb or privet hedge cuttings,
they grow easily from whips.
I wish the Journal would give us
4 little exchange space for the sub
scribers to use for our little things.
guess Id better sit down or I
might say too much. Wishing all

-.r Dear Households: New Years
greetings to you. We have had a
very mild winter up to January %.
But today, the .26th, it is turning
colder. We expect to have our cold
rest weather from now on through
February We are farmers and have
246 acres. My husband has been
turning his lands with a two-horse
plow since January LIST. We plant
here IN north Florida in March, gath
er crops in Augusta and September.
was glad we could plant cotton
here in March, and pick it in August,
9instead of picking cotton in Octo-
Der like the farmers Mrs. Thomas
wrote us about last fall.
For the last two years the boil
weevil has done so little damage to
cotton here, we have decided to plant
a large crop for 1920.
How many of you like butter
beans? The Florida Runner butter
bean is the most prolific variety
ever saw. The improved white vel
vet ol1ra is much superior to the old
rough olSra that gets tough so quick.
Try vinegar and salt for hoarse-
ness and sore throat; it gives quick
relief.
Try lining the mems and boys
work shirts with flower sacks,
sleeves and backs, and see how much
longer they will last.
To sour milk, add few drops of
vinegar.
Here is simple way to make fly
paper at home: Melt six ounces of
rosin in a tin cup, add one round
ing tablespoonful of lard and stir
we'll together. When cold spread
upon stiff paper with fiat piece of
wood or old knife. Heat the knife
before using. Place this fly paper
where flies are; it will hold them
fast.
Salt won't cake in the cellars if
you will mix this way: One table,
spoonful of cornstarch and four ia
b1espoonfuls of common salt.
A good cough remedy is to boil
wild cherry bark, drain, add honey
to this decoction and boil to a
syrup. Dose One tablespoonful
after meals. This is very good for
any bronchial or long trouble.
To make a good homemade lini-
ment for man or beast, take pint
bottle and fill one-third full Of com
mon salt. add kerosene to fill the
bottle, shake up and use for lame
backs or stiff joints. 1t will not
blister. t..
I will close with best wishes to
you one and all.
