HAVE LONG ROWS
IN YOUR GARDEN
Plan Will Not Only Save Labor
but Will Prevent Injury to
Tender Plants.

Arrange the garden In long rows
and cultivate the crops with horse
whenever this is possible, suggests the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Horse cultivation can be prac-
ticed where the rows are As narrow as
"a inches, but as rule 1t does not
pay to have the rows closer than 30
or 80 inches.
One good arrangement Is to have
the crops grown In three-foot rows oc-
cupying the major portion OF the gar
den, with narrow strip along one
side laid off In small beds or narrow
rows In which all the smaller crops
can be grown. One farmer near Wash
ington, d. G. who Is noted for having
a good garden follows the practice Of
cultivating with q horse every Satur-
day afternoon, provided the soil Is not
too wet from a recent rain. 1t takes
only about one hour to 60 over the
garden with cultivator and then with
q little hand hoeing he Is able to keep
his garden in perfect condition. While
II may not always be convenient to
cultivate the garden at a specified
time as does this farmer, yet there
are often short periods in farm work
during which the garden can be cul-
tivated.
The long narrow garden Is easier to
plow than one that Is more nearly
square and requires less turning in
cultivation. If less than full row of
any one vegetable Is desired, this will
not cause any inconvenience, as two
or three different kinds of vegetables
may be planted In one row. The kind
of cultivator to use In cultivating the
garden does not matter greatly, but
teeth that will pulverize the soil.
There are two types Of one-horse
cultivators on the market, one having
FIVE teeth with various sizes and shapes
Of points that can be changed to suit
local conditions and another which is
an "A"-shaped cultivator and having
about Is small teeth or shovels.
The wheel hoe Is a desirable tool
for use in the garden, mainly for
finishing up the cultivation close to
the rows Of plants after the rows
have been gone through with a horse
cultivator. This applies especially to
onions, beets, carrots, parsnips, celery
and several Of the low-growlng and
compact types Of vegetables. The rows
should be perfectly straight. It is
better not to depend upon a horse
drawn marker for laying of the rows,
but to use q line.

COLOR SCHEME is
VERY IMPORTANT
Harmony in the Way of Shrub
berry and Flowers Should
Be Considered.

Harmony Is the first law of nature,
not only in the color Of house, but In
the way shrubbery and flowers are
placed about it. More attention should
be given, says the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, to improving
the home surroundings, including the
care of good lawn and the growing
Of roses and other flowers that will
add beauty to the premises. 1t has
been suggested that 1t would be appro-

and vegetable seeds, because the es-
thetic relation between a properly
painted house and outbuildlngs, flow

so close as to warrant their being con-

located In an inconspicuous corner Of

USE PUREBRED SIRES
IN IMPROVING HERD
Fifteen-Year Experiment Recent
" Ended at Iowa Station.
Milk Production Of Scrub Cows In
creased ss Per Cent by Thelr
aIf-BIood Daughters-Many
Farmers Are Afraid.

The value of purebred sires in build.
Ing up dairy herd is shown by IF
teen-year experiment recently con-
cluded at the Iowa Agricultural col.
lege. BY the use Of purebred Holstein
bulls, the milk production of the scrub
cows was increased SS per cent by
their half-blood daughters and $50
per cent by their three-fourths blood
(granddaughters. The butterfat pro
duction was increased by the daugh-
ters So per cent, and by the grand
daughters 12S per cent.
The offspring In nearly every case
showed improvement also In body con-
formation, persistency Of milk flow
and more economical production. A
good flow of milk for short period
Is not desirable. Animals which have
large milk flow and long sustained
milking period are always to be pre-
ferred.
The superiority of purebreds and
grades over scrubs In actual average
monthly production Is clearly proved
by the figures. One of the main rea.
sons the scrubs showed such poot
production was their lack Of persist
ence. The Improvement in the Off
spring in this respect is due entirely
to the pure blood of the sire.
Many farmers milking string OF
scrub cows want to own better cattle
but fear the cost. They are anxious
to improve the milking qualities OF
their herds and really enter In the
dairy business. They fear to "buy In
and do not "grow In" because they are
unaware Of the rapid progress pos
sible In grading up. The Iowa investi.
cation shows that herd Of profitable
producers can be built from founda.
tion of common cows where the initial
expense is a good purebred sire.
