SAVE BEST OF GARDEN SEED
Cloth Bags Are Best Containers for
Large Seeds-Correct Label
ing Is Important.

Seeds which have been grown and
carefully saved should be well labeled
and stored or all the previous labor
goes for nothing, say experts of the
United States Department of Agricul-.
ture. Cloth bags are the best contain
ers for large seeds, such as peas, beans
and corn. They should be used also for
larger quantities of small seeds, but
for smaller lots paper envelopes, made
at home or purchased, are fairly salts
factory, but usually are not gummed
so as to close completely and if han
died carelessly small seeds may sift
out of them.
Correct labelling is of paramount inn
portance. Every envelope or con-
tainer should show the kind and vari-
ETY. of seed, the date, including month
and year when harvested, and the
place where grown. For the cloth
bags a slip of paper bearing all this
information should be inserted with
the seed 1t is very convenient also
to have tag on the outside of the
bag, but on no account should the in
ner label be omitted because of the
liability of loss Of the outside tag.

Department of Agriculture. They are
in good favor, too, with the poultry
packers on account of their table
qualities.
All the American breeds lay brown
shelled eggs. They all have yellow
skins, and shanks free from feathers
which are desirable qualities for table
fowl in this country. In size they are
intermediate between the smaller egg
breeds, such as the Leghorns, and the
larger meat breeds, such as the Brah-
mas. In temperament they are also
intermediate, being less active than
the egg breeds, but more SO than the
meat breeds. They are fairly good
foragers. The American-class birds
mature earlier than the meat breeds,
but not SO quickly as the egg breeds.
They are settlers and make good
mothers.

will begin to pick them off, but since
they cannot eat them down to the
roots the sprouts will continue to grow
and supply green material. This
frame can be moved from place to
place in the yard, and In this way
different parts cultivated.
The yard should be stirred or
spaded up frequently, If not in sod, in
order to keep 1t in the best condition.
This will not only tend to keep down
any odors which might arise, but also
allow the droppings to be absorbed
into the soil more readily, and, there
fore, keep the yard in better condi-
tion for the hens.
Although 1t is necessary to keep the
hens confined to their yard most of
the time, it is sometimes possible to
let them out where they may range
upon the lawn for an hour or so in
the evening when some one can be at
hand to watch them or at certain sea-
sons of the year to allow them to run
In the garden plot. This will be en-
joyed greatly by the hens and will be
very beneficial to them.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applca-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send

IMPROVING SOIL
BY COVER CROPS
They Add Humus, Accumulate
Nitrogen, Prevent Erosion and
Loss of Plant Food.
RYE LARGELY USED IN FALL
Problem Varies Largely With Locality,
but 1t Is Best to Get Good Growth
Before Freezing Weather.
Methods Also Vary.

ment of Agriculture)
Planting cover or green manure
crops is matter which requires at
tention in August or September in
most parts of the United States, say
experts of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Clover, vetch and other legumes
serve the triple purpose of adding hui
mus to the soil, accommodating nitro
gen and preventing soil erosion. With
some tender berry and fruit crops they
also serve to protect the roots from
severe winter weather. Outside of
the nitrogen-forming plants, rye is
largely used as cover crop sOwn in
the fall and plowed under in the
spring to add organic matter to the
soil. The cover-crop problem varies
largely with locality, but for over
winter purposes there is one rule
which is universal, and that is to get
the crop in the ground in time to Sc
cure good growth before frost.
A Practice of Long Standing.
The use of clover or some other
legume to enrich the soil is generally
considered a cardinal agricultural
practice in the humid sections of the
United States. 1t antedates by three
quarters of a century the monumental
discovery that legumes store up nj
trogen from the air. The belief that
clover was a valuable improver rested
first on experience, and later expert
ence was substantiated by the dis
covery of the relation between the
legumes and the nodule bacteria.
Other legumes, as the COW pea, the
Japan clover and bur clover in the
South and crimson clover on the At
lantic coast, have come into use in the

territory not well adapted to red clio
yer. The various vetches are held in
widespread favor, different varieties
being employed according to climate
and crop conditions.
When to Sow Cover Crop.
The time of planting and the best
crop to use is q matter which local
conditions must dictate. Along the
north Atlantic coast it is considered
best to get these crops IN from the
first to the middle of August, while
in the extreme South the planting may
be deferred to early October. In the
extreme North hairy vetch is favored
as legume, cover or green manure
crop, but rye is also largely planted
From middle Pennsylvania to the
north Alabama line crimson clover
gives good results In the extreme
South bur clover, vetch and crimson
clover are used, as well as velvet beans
and COW peas.
Wherever clean cultivation is prac-
llCeu the sui Is likely W De III shape
for brOadcasting the seed. If cOnven-
lent, it can be narrowed in. In Or
chards a light narrowing or disking
may be employed if the ground is free
from sod. Care must, Of course, be
taken not to injure the roots. The
crop is usually plowed under in the
spring, but this is not always done
with orchards. Data collected in all
parts of the United States shows a
general benefit from this form of ag-
riculture.
Cover crops are of especial value to
small gardeners and truckers, who
often find it both difficult and expen-
sive to obtain Stale manure. They
add the humus which is so necessary
to maintain good physical condition
Of the soil. Wherever there is a va
cant place in the garden a few seeds
Of rye vetch, clover, etc, may be
sOwn and raked in. IF n suitable rota-
ton of crops is followed, all parts Of
the garden may be covered with a
green manure crop once every two or
three years.

LIGHT SOIL FOR FARMSTEAD
Ground Occupied by Farm Buildings
May Be Poorest kind-Sandy
Soils Are Excellent.

The garden, lawn, orchard and
wind-break, constituting a consider
able portion of the farmstead, require
good and preferably light soil, while
the ground occupied by the farm
buildings may be the poorest land on
the farm. Not infrequently the two
kinds Of soil may be found within the
farmstead area but 1t is better to sac
rifce little crop-producing land for
the buildings than to handicap the
garden or orchard with poor soil.
Sandy or gravelly soils are excellent
for general farmstead purposes, as
they are favorable for plant growth
and drain rapidly-very desirable
qualities.

Easter Sunday, hence the name which
is from PaScua Florida or Flowery
Passover, which is the Spanish for
Easter Sunday.
The French were the next settlers,
founding a colony on the st. Johns
river. Spain promptly took action to
maintain her ownership of this region
and sent over an expedition which
erected a fort under the leadership of
Menendez at st. Augustine in 1865 and
extenninated at Huguenot colony. st.
Augustine is the oldest city in the
United States. There followed a
period of hostility between the English
colOniSts in the Caroinas and the
Spanish in Florida. By the treaty of
1853 Spain coded Florida to England
in exchange for Havana which Eng
land had captured few years previ-
Gus. 1t remained an English colony
until the last years of the Revolution
when Spain recaptured it.
=. There were two provinces, East and
West Florida. AS the Spanish ruled
Florida with very loose form of
government, this region became the
refuge of pirates, smugglerS and law
less characters. Such an element to-
gether with the unruly Seminole In
dams naturally caused a great deal
of trouble. To overcome this, Presi-
dent Monroe purchased Florida from
Spain in 1919 for 100000 or about
eleven cents an acre. 1t was organized
into a territory and in 1S45 was ad-
mitted to the Union.
In the election of President Hayes
Florida played an important part
by throwing her votes to the
Republican candidate. There were
claims of fraud but Hayes
was finally declared elected. Florida
has six presidential electors.
Florida is sometimes called the
Everglade State on account Of the
vast swamp-land in its southern part.
It is also known as the Peninsula State
and Is the southernmost state of the
Union. Its area is 5S,666 square miles.
