PLAN GARDEN so
WORK WILL BE EASIER

Over half of the gardens of the
country are tended by women &C
cording to a recent survey made by
the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. This
being true, it is important that the
farm garden be so planned that the
work of cultivating it will be simple
and easy. All of the heavier work,
such as blowing and fitting the land,
should be done by men with the aid
of team.
The garden should be planted in
long, straight rows and cultivated
once a week with a horse, according
to bulletin recently issued by the
Division of Extension. If this much
is done by the men the work of the
women will be greatly reduced. The
care of the home garden isnot hard
work if the fitting of the land and
the main part of the cultivation is
done with horse drawn tools. Plan
the farm garden right, work it right
and it will prove the most profitable
piece of land on the farm.

ter the stock are removed to the pas
ture. 1t would not be bad idea to
try some pressing new variety of corn
on a small isolated area. Turn under
rye when knee high; crimson clover
in early bloom, using disc before
turning. Some Irish potatoes should
be planted.
Some planting was started in the
garden in March and this can be en-
larged upon this month. Sweet pota-
toes should be bedded. In the orchard
bearing apple trees should be pruned /;
many small limbs in the top and light
around the bottom. Promptly spray
orchards and vineyards just after
bloom falls with dilute iimc-sulphur
solution and arsenate of lead. Re
move apple tree borers and paint tree
trunks with white lead up to nine
inches above the ground.
April is also busy month for the
livestock raiser. Pastures are ready
for grazing in most parts of the state
and stock should be getting advant-
age of them. However, grass pastures
should be grazed lightly. Dry feed
should be given in addition to pastur-
age. For the farmer who has a flock
of sheep it is shearing time. The
self feeder should be used in connec-
ton with fattening hogs that are feed
ing on crimson clover. 1t will also pay
to watch the hog arket closely this
month as the heavy runs are about
over and the market is due for an
advance. Gauge the cottonseed meal
ration of steers by the market.
The poultry raiser should begin
Gambling eggs and all ROSTERS should
be penned.
For the housewife it is time to
plant flowers; see that the top OF
wells are fixed up with concrete to
prevent pollution:- prepare a cool
place for keeping milk and butter.
Some attention should be given to
community affairs and the boy should
be given some aid in securing a pig
for club work which will start May L.
On rainy days all machinery that
that has not already been put in first
class condition should be gone over.
Clean up and paint up the farm
buildings and surroundings. b

Composition of Eggs.

April is month of great activity
in the field 1t is the month of soil
preparation and seeding and the start
that the farmer gets during this mont
determines to a large extent his pro
gress of the crop season. This is the
big corn planting month in Tennessee
and specialists Of the Division of Elk
tension advise the planting of soy
beans with corn-one gallon per acre.
These crops together produce more
feed than either planted alone. Har-
row the corn a few days before it
comes up and cross harrow again
soon afterward. It is important that
running start is gotten on the weed
keep the harrow going on implanted
fields, too. All manure should be in
the field by the end of this month. 1t
loses rapidly in the barn its value af

THINGS TO DO ON THE
FARM IN APRIL


April is Easter month this year.
This is the month when we begin to
think about spring hats. All of last
years hats should be hauled out and
looked over. The prices of straw and
flowers are higher even than last
year so it is advisable to get together
the best materials from old hats and
let the milliner make a new one for
your second best. Then you will need
only buy a new Sunday go to meet
ing Hat"
Easter makes US think of eggs. Try
your eggs this way for Easter break
fast. For family of six use the fol-
lowing recipe:
6 eggs
2 tablespoons butter
tablespoons cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Beat the eggs separately, put all the
ingredients in the top of a double
cooker, fold all together gently and
cook over the hot water until fluffy.
They may be carefully stirred coca
sionally. Serve at once or they will
fall. The more carefully this mixture
is handled, the lighter the eggs will
be when done.
If there are not six in the family
use one egg for each member of the
family.

There is great deal Of merit in that suggestion. If
there were greater knowledge upon he part Of the young
people who pass through the public schools Of the real ruth
about the processes through which was necessary to 90

greatest instrument Of government ever struck of by the
hand and mind Of man, there probably would be less ou-
BE with fool ideas about the government we live under
The men who nursed the infant Republic through its
trying early years were political idealns but they were
also intensely PRACTICAL men, They had few illusions, and
it certain that they did not labor under the mistake that
there was any peculiar power inherent in government They
created system which promised to afford equal oppor-
hln6es and procure equal justice and they were willing
to work out their own destnies under it
And with their deeper and broader public spirit they
also had er understanding Of the relations Of the mdl-
Idual to the whole They realized for instance, that un-
less each one was willing to give Ii. system fair na it
most certainly would fall Some Of them were sure it
would fail anyhow, and the measu. Of success that was
attained under would have aston;hed some Of the early
citizens profoundly if they could have been spared to wit

girls were made understand how much better conditions
