COMPOST HEAP MADE
FROM GARDEN WASTE
Organic Rubbish Of All Kinds
Especially Suitable.
Start by Laying Down Bed of Stable
Manure and Alternating With
Refuse Matter-Especially VAL
liable for Hotbeds.

Garden waste, decayed vegetables,
dead vines, weeds, and the organic
rubbish that collects about the place
during busy summer may be cleaned
up and put to work again through the
agency of a compost heap, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture Start the heap
by laying down a bed of stable ma
nure which has not been burned or
heated. The size of the plot will vary
with the amount of refuse to be used !;
for ordinary uses, if the bed is made
eight feet long by six feet wide and
two feet deep it will serve the pur-
pose. Over the manure spread a two
foot layer of refuse and cover with
another layer of manure. This last
layer need be only foot in thickness.
If 1t is desired to add to the heap
from time to time the top layer may
be opened and the new material emp
tied into the hole thus made This is
convenient for the suburban home
where there is no animal to consume
the kitchen waste. In the spring the
heap is well mixed with a fork and
the compost is ready to be spread on
the garden plot. The heating manure
will effectively destroy any weed seed
present and will also break down the
structure of most of the materials
that have been thrown upon the pile.
The process may be continued indefi-
nitely by simply adding enough ma
nure to insure heating. Compost is
especially valuable for use in hotbeds
and cold frames.

1t is advisable that square block It's

hens eggs will weigh about two

URGE TESTING OF SEED CORN
Even When Carefully Selected and
Stored 1t Should Be Tested Be-
fore Planting.

Even where seed corn has been
carefully gathered and stored it
should be thoroughly tested in the
spring before planting. The best way
to do this is to make seed corn test
ing box and test 100 ears separately.
Each kernel that is tested must be
perfect, and not injured at the tip
when it is removed from the ear.
Hand-shelling will give much fewer in
jured tips than machine Smelling, and
should be used with all seed corn. If
three or more kernels out of ten from
any one ear fail to grow it will be
wise to test every ear in the entire
supply of seed. If the 100 tested ears
show no poor ones, further testing of
the supply is unnecessary.

If the rural delivery is at your door,
the city market is there for your small
produce, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. At
present many producers are neglect
Ing entirely this marketing medium or
are not utilizing it to the extent they
might. Wider use of the parcel post
for marketing eggs is particularly adj
visable for the small producer who
can easily and adyantageously build
up direct trade with the city. When
more produce is marketed directly
from the farm to the city there will
be less complaint on the part of the
producer that the prices he must sell
for are too low, and less on the part
Of the consumer that the prices he
pays are too high.
Sell Only First-CIass Eggs.
1t IS preferable to produce infertile
eggs for market, as fertile eggs de-
terlorate rapidly in warm weather and
are the cause Of much loss. The eggs
should he gathered at least once a day
aud stored in a well-ventlated place,
where they can be kept as cool as pos
sible. AS washing removes the muci-
laginous coating of eggs and opens the
pores of the shell, it shoulds not be
practiced in the case of eggs intended
for hiah-class trade. Soiled eggs
should be used at home or disposed of
otherwise than to a parcel-post Gus
toner
If there is any doubt concerning the
freshness or quality of the eggs, they
should be candled, so that all eggs
showing any defect may be held at
home, say poultry specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. For parcel-pOst shipment it is
essential that uniform containers and
a uniform pack should be used. as 9th.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation 1 have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

JONES MINE IS PRODUCER OF
 QUALITY COAL

i Thirty tons of bituminous coal ar
 rived in Anchorage last week from the Evans Jones Company mines in the
 Matanuska district. This is the first shipment from the mine, but officials
 of the company say they expect to
 make regular shipments from now on. The trail between the bunkers and
 railroad is in good shape for trans
 portation by sleds and the daily out
 put of the mines is estimated at more
 than 30 toassz every "A hours The coal
 is said to be high grade. The owners
 are we'll pleased with the progress at
 the mine and plane for more ex-
 tensive development are contemplat- ed in the spring.
 Evans Jones, head of the company,
 has made a remarkable record in de- veloping the Eska property within so short time to practically the stage
 where operation is on paying basis. Starting from the grass roots," and governed by his knowledge of mining MT. Jones has produced the satisfac-
 tory results at an outlay of approxi-
 mately $20,000. According to Ray c. Larson, of Anchorage, who returned 1 from a business trip to the property, the mine has every indication of being great producer. With the expendi- | ture of money for additional ma chinery and equipment MT Larson predicts the mine could produce a | tonnage equal to many of the of the
 Pennsylvania mines. The miners have
 two coal seams, one of three feet and
 one of seven feet in width. The tun-
 nel has been driven 43O feet, at which
 distance the larger seam was struck. Development work now consists prin-
 cipally of driving on the gangways for
 the purpose of working the seven foot seam. Chutes will have to be built and other work important to : operation is contemplated.
 MT. Larson is ultra-enthusiastic over the possibilities of the Jones property, and expects to see an ex, tensive exploitation of the district.
