a place for the. production of

duce something of value and to

instead a garbage heap as is too
often the case. There is often
sufficient room for grape or
scuppernong, a fig, a cherry, a
plum, a few peaches, blackber-
ries, raspberries. and even an APP

may be carried a sufficient num-
ber Of hens toFsupply the family

The poultry yards may be alter

add efficiency to the hen, supply

If nothing else, plant the whole
yard to Mammoth Russian Sun

TAs PssE Man siIo.

We recently caught Mr.. Q. lOs
Ellerbe using d poor mans silo.'
Two Kansas stock melons (com-.
monty known as citron melon,)
came up in his watermelon patch
and produced 26 melons. Mr..
Ellerbe had heard somewhere
that they we're called poor mans
silo," and decided to give Them
q trial as COW feed. His COW
was giving one and one-half gal
Ions Of milk when the test began.
He fed two melons daily for
about ten days and the milk flow
increased to two and a half gal
Ions per day without any change
in feed except the citron melons.
The melons here referred to
are the same variety on exhibit
at the County Falr III the DEM
onstration Booth Wewrote an
article early last summer recit-
ing the virtues of this melon, but
few were planted as a result.
Suppose each of OUR 1900
