prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Home vegetable gardens will be lust
as Important In stabilizing the food
supply in 1921 as they have been at
any time during the past few years,
say garden specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Urgent need for increased production
or food during the war caused thou
sands Of rural and urban residents to
plant gardens, which resulted in es-
tablishing the gardening habit. This
year, specialists say, home gardens
Will play an important part in thrift
and economy. Thousands of acres Of
uncultivated land in and about many
large cities will be utilized this year
to furnish employment and recreation
to home gardeners who know that by
raising their own supply of vegetables
they can materially reduce their liv-
ing costs.
Enough for Average Family.
One-tenth Of an acre Of fairly good
ground-a square about 65 feet each
way-will supply the greater part Of
the vegetables needed by the average
family, say garden specialists of the
department. The cost of all seeds
and fertilizers for garden of this
size should not exceed SIS to $18 and
may not cost more than SIS or So,
Experience has shown that not more
than 100 hours should be required for
planting and caring for tenth-acre
garden. This time is so distributed
throughout the season that the work
can be easily done by most persons
working in factories, stores, or offices.
1t means an average of about five or
six hours a week for a period of 20
weeks or merely enough time for prop
er outdoor recreation and exercise
necessary for good health. More time
will be required early in the season
while the garden is being prepared
and planted than during the summer,
when not more than two or three
hours a week will be necessary to
keep the garden in good condition.
A little time during mornings, eve
nings, and on holidays spent in the
garden is good investment. A gar
den is like a farm. however, in that it

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The production OF the dairy herds
of the future through the use of proper
sires of high quality is subject that
is interesting dairy specialists Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. There Is ample evidence that
such bulls improve the production Of
Eheir daughters, but it is a difficult
matter even to estimate what the limit
in improvement in future generations
will be.
Figures compiled by the field man
of the dairy division Of the depart
ment who is encouraging bull associa-
lions in Maryland, show the improve
iment in production made by daugh-
tiers of purebred sires belonging to the
New Windsor Bull association, as COM

tiers Of Repose's Washer gave an aver
age of S,197 pounds of milk in a year,
and 32S pounds of butterfat. The
average of the dams of these young
COWS was 6,7S2 pounds of milk and
266 pounds of. fat. The average in
crease, therefore, was 1,415 pounds Of
milk and 60 pounds of fat An addi-
tional production OF over 1,400 pounds
of milk and 60 pounds of fat is. no
slight matter, the dairy specialists say.
The ages at which the daughters Of
RepoSe'S Washer made their records
were three, four and five years, the
average being about four. when
farmers put in purebred bulls to re-
place scrubs or grades, they some
times have the feeling that the pres
'ence of the new bull is charm which
will increase the production Of the

Scialists. "This is not to be expected.

BEST VEGETABLES TO PLANT
Many Beginners Make Mistake of
1aat.ng Everything in Cata-
logue-PuIverze Soil.

Some beginners in gardening be-
come very enthusiastic in early spring
when they look through seed cata-
logues. They have desire to plant
every kind of vegetable deliberately
described and favorably Illustrated.
AS a rule not more than Is or 20
kinds of vegetables should be planted
in tile average home garden, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Few beginners
also realize the Importance of we'll
prepared seed beds. Pulverize the soil
as deeply as it is plowed. If the soil
is coarse and lumpy, even though its
surface is well broken up, the plants
will not thrive. Large air spaces in
the soil are injurious, but great num-
Der of small ones are beneficial.

PRIMARY OBJECT OF
PARCEL POST TRADE

Fair Prices.

Prices and Consumer Wants Better

(erepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
AS the object Of parcel post deal
ing is to obtain slightly increased
prices for the producer and better
products at the same price, or the
same class of products at lower prices,
for the consumer, the question Of ar
irving at prices fair to both Is i'm
pUrrant and also difficult, say mar
keting specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
It is not likely, at least not for
some time to come, that eggs will be
marketed so largely by parcel post
that the ordinary market quotations
can not be depended upon in arriving
at prices
1t should be comparatively easy for
a producer and consumer to agree
upon stipulated market quotations as
the basis for determining prices. A

SALT is REQUIRED BY COWS
Give Only Small Quantity on Feed
and Permit Animal to Lick
Rock Salt in Boxes,

Salt is required by all animals. The
dairy COW requires an ounce or more
a day, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and while she should be given all she
needs, she should not be forced to
take more than she wants. 1t is best,
therefore, to give only a small guam
tity on the feed, and to place rock
salt in boxes in the yard where she
ocan lick it at will.

given it. well-cared-fOr garden will
produce much higher yields than one
which is neglected. The average re-
turn in money value from a tenth-acre
plot of ground usually is about $S5
for a season.
Fresh Vegetable Supply.
Plenty of fresh vegetables direct
from the garden to the table is of
vastly greater Importance than the
money value, the cutting out Of mid
dleman's profits or transportation
problems The question of saving and
cost, however, may prove a very i'm
portant factor before the close of an
other year. Already there is much
unemployment of labor and the local
or home production of foods in the gar
den is the surest way of safeguarding
the family food supply. 1t is said that
the farmers of the country could cut
themselves off from the rest of the
people and live comfortably for ar
indefinite period, because they can
produce practically everything that
they need. Gardens furnish an i'm
portant part of the living of families
on farms and the same principle will
apply to people who live in cities,
towns, and villages who have access
to a small tract of land on which to
grow garden.
There is nothing connected with the
work of cultivating a garden that has
q tendency TO injure the health unless
overeXertion is INDUCED in. Persons
who habitually work indoors should
be rather careful when they first be-
gin working in the direct sunshine.
When the work is first started the
muscles are stiff and weakened from
inactivity and 1t is necessary to go
slowly until they get into play.

PROVIDING SALT FOR cows
Best Plan Is to Give Animals Constant
Supply-ounce Each Day Is
About Right.

The best way to provide salt for the
ply so they have easy access to it..
The average COW will use about half
pound a week. If salt is provided
daily an ounce each day will be about
right, giving more or less according
to the demands Of the individual anil
mails. Cows giving milk require more
than those not in lactation.

consumer may desire dozen eggs a
week, the price to be an agreed-upon
figure above the wholesale quotation
for the best grade of eggs on the mar
ket that week. The necessary rela-
lions in this matter can be maintained
only by scrupulous honesty and mu-
tual trust.
The nature of the agreement be-
tween the producer and the consum-
err, whether reduced to writing or not,
should be made to suit the circum-
stances and be fair to both. Per-
haps the first agreement should be
in writing; but later, if mutual con-
fidence and trust have been thorough
ly established, the contract may be
verbal.
The matter of frequency and meth
cd of payment can be arranged in
various ways. For the first agreement
term, which may be a year or less,
cash in advance might be satisfactory,
until a definite system Of orders and
payments is established.
For the reason that eggs are abund-
ant in the spring and scarce in the
autumn and early winter, the con
tract should specify the quantities to
be supplied each week throughout the
year. The producer making an agree
ment with a consumer should under
take to replace or allow rebates for
eggs lost by breakage in shipping.

Nearly all market poultry and egg
buyers are now buying on a quality
