Miss Mabel S. Deschanes, a pc

ardent champion Of Tanlac, since
she began using the medicine a

from indigestion and had been

FEW TOOLS NEEDED FOR
THE HOME GARDEN

Thrift gardens should be thrift
gardens from start to finish, and
the vegetables crown IN them
kept down. This is especially
cost to buy them on the market.
Every item Of expense should be
kejt down. This is especially
true in the purchase of tobls, ac-
cording to United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture specialists.
Some gardeners have an idea
that they must have a large as
sortment Of hoes and rakes,
wheel hoes, seed drills, spraying
outfits and special equipment be
fore they can begin to garden.
But the tools actually required IN
the cultivation Of thrift garden
are few and simple. Aspade or
spadine fork. a steel rake ond Il
hoe, together with a piece of
string and two small wooden
stakes, are the chief essentials.
There are anumbcr Of other tools
such as a trowel, sprinkling car
wheel hoe, seed drill and wheel
barrow. that may often be used
to advantage. but they ore not
absolutely necessary
1t is important. however, that
the few essential tools be proper
~ cared for and frequently. Ev-
cry time they are used they should
be cleaned and stored in a dry
place. Also. they should be kept
sharp so that the work may be
done easily and thoroughly. A
good job Of hocing can not be
done with a dull or rusty hoe.
If the garden is located at a
distance from the house, small,
low, flat toolbox. long enough ii
accommodate the hoe and rake.
should be provided. The top Of
this box may be covered with d
piece Of roofing paper to make il
waterproof, and small locE
should be provided for safety
The loss Of one good tool will
more than offset the cost Of
toolbox Of this character.
