the garden is greatly reduced. For
instance, all such crops as carrots,
parsnips, satisfy, onions, beets and tur-
nips that require very little space be-
tween the rows should be given an
other place and those that cast consid-
cradle shade should be placed at the
north side of the garden, where they
viii not shade the small crops.
Making Watering Easy.
Another special facility for the gar
den consists Of a line of perforated
pipe that may be attached to the hose
and used to irrigate the crops. Where
the land is nearly level, watering can
be done very conveniently by discharg-
ing the hose into small burrows along
side rows and irrigating the crops by
the flooding or furrow system. Wher-
ever the land is steep or uneven, the
line Of perforated pipe will distribute
the water to better advantage. This
can be used where a water supply is
available, and 1t is doubtful If 1t would
pay where special pumping arrange
ments are necessary in order to pro-
vide the water. In sections where ir.
rigation must be depended upon en-
tirely for growing crops, special ar.
rangements for getting water upon the
garden must be made. Last year g
great many farmers of the irrigated
sections provided special facilities fol
watering their gardens.

of home designs are available and a
study of the exteriors and floor plans
will give prospective builders some
most excellent ideas along these lines.
Consultation with the local archi-

also is helpful to the inexperienced
home builder. These building experts
have gained much valuable knowledge
about home building and ever are

the benefits of their knowledge.

"THE LITTLE PEOPLE,"

Synopsis.-Spalding Nelson re-
ceives an invitation to dinner from
his great-uncle, Rufus Castor. On
the way he meets Barbara Brad
ford and renders her a service. She
lives in the same apartment build
ing as the Gastons. They go there
together. CASTOR and his wife are
going to Maine for a trip and ask
Nelson to live in their apartments.
He accepts. The Gastons tell him
of mysterious noises about the
Observation-Disclosures and noises
that have scared them. Going to
the apartment a few days later
Nelson again meets Barbara, his
accidental acquaintance. Nelson
meets the building superintendent,
Wick, and instinctively dislikes
him. In a wall safe he finds a
necklace of magnificent pearls.
Next day Nelson finds the pearls
have disappeared from the wall
safe. His first idea of informing
the police is not acted upon be-
cause of peculiar circumstances.
He has been discharged from his
position without adequate eXplana-
ton or reason, and feels himself
involved in something of a mys-
terry. He decides to conduct an in
vestigation himself. That night
Barbara signals from the window
of her apartment, which is opposite
his, and they arrange a meeting
for next day. In the morning he
snds a note in his room, asking
him why he had not informed the
police of the loss of the jewels.
Barbara tells Nelson her sister
Claire had some years before made
runaway marriage with an ad-
venturer, from whom she was
soon parted. and the marriage had
been annulled. Claire is engaged
to be married and someone know
ing of her escapade has stolen
documents concerning the affair
from the Bradford apartment and
is attempting to blackmail the
Bradfords. Nelson and Barbara
exchange condolences about the
whispers" mysterious notes and
other queer doings, which are
much alike in both apartments.

Popcorn Is n rather long season

that the crop must be started as early

| RATION FOR LITTLE CALVES
Three Parts Oats, One Part Corn and
One of Oil Meal Is Excellent for
Youngsters.

An excellent grain ration for little
calves is three parts of oats, one part
Of corn and one part of oil meal. Keep
the grain fresh. Do not spill milk in
1t and have a sour manger. Let the
calves have free access to fresh and

ing the first four months calves should
not, however, eat too much grain.
