Wage rates for farm labor reached
their highest point In the history OF
this country in 1920, as national aver
ages. AS ascertained by the bureau
Of crop estimates, United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, the average
wage rate for labor hired by the month
was $46.S9 with board, and $64.95
without board; for day labor at har-
vest, $3.50 with board, and $4.36
without board.
War conditions greatly accelerated
an upward movement Of farm-wage

BY 1902. this wage rate had in

followed by $30.15 in 1915, with no evil

The rate of gain over 1895 was 70

prepared by the United states Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Home gardens were boons to thou
sands Of families in the United States
last season, and the garden habit
seems to have become fixed with
large number Of persons.
In most sections the late fall gar
dens were killed by frost and In many
cases the debris still litters the
ground.
Bean poles and tomato stakes, with
their burden of frosted vines, are top
pied over and give the garden an un-
kempt and ragged appearance. Aside
from the esthetic influence Of clean
Ing up the garden, 1t is important that
all rubbish and dead plants be re-
moved and burned to protect the crops
Of next season from the insects and
disease spores which infest the debris.
A few hours of work In the garden
now will save serious losses another
year. Gather the bean poles, tomato
stakes, and any removable trellises or
wires, store the good ones until they
are again needed; then pull, rake to-
gether, and burn all the dead vines
and plants left in the garden. If these
are too wet or green to burn, they
may be gathered in small piles for q
few days to dry and then piled to-
gether and burned.
Spread Manure.
Heavy clay soils should be broken
up and left rough and lumpy before
applying the manure. The kind Of
manure to use for this purpose is not
important, so long as 1t is not filed
with weed seeds or trash Of any kind.
Manure in which straw has been used
for bedding can be taken direct from
the stable and spread on the garden
as surface cover during the winter,
the rough part being either plowed un-
der in the spring or raked of and put
In the compost heap.
Protecting Young Trees.
Experienced gardeners keep COM
post heap going In one corner Of the
garden from one years end to an
other, and all surplus manure and sod
are placed In 1t. AS consequence,
these gardeners always have supply
of good loan for preparing special
plant beds or top-dressing piece of
land for the growing Of lettuce or
other intensive crop.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

RICH FERTILITY IS WASTED
Comparatively Small Lots Where
Cows and Other Animals Are
Kept Are Often Overlooked.

Where large number Of dairy cows
or other animals have to bf kept in
comparatively small lots at night, dur
ing the spring and summer months,
the ground becomes unusually well
fertilized. In most cases these lots
are used year after year for the same
purpose, thus allowing this rich fer
tility to be wasted. A fine way to
utilize this is to have two or three
lots of about two acres each, using
one for pasture each year, and the
other two for cropping. Such an ar
rangement purifes the soil, besides
changing tons Of manure into feed.
