Our Household

You notice I've not said a word
about Irish potatoes. They should
be in every home on the same basis
with meat, meal, flour, coffee and
sugar. Variety is what the body
needs. and if you study the matter
a year or so you will learn to tell
from looking at children whether
they have a varied diet or eat few
vegetables and too much meat and
bread. Right now is when your
canned vegetables keep the doctor
away. If you failed to can a supply
of vegetables last year, begin now
to lay your plans, and get your
neighbors interested. Beets, beans
and tomatoes are the three depend
ables. Corn, peas and turnip salad
are more trouble. 1t takes two to
can corn. I generally hav ca can
or two. just to keep my hand in"
but it's really more satisfactory to
buy it, or to dry it, and dried okra
is excellent.
When you have celery do you
serve the leaves? Put them in a
paper bag and pin to the line and
let every leaf dry. Then, when you
want the celery flavor in cream soup
your dried leaves will give it to you.
For hot, quick addition to a din
ner, or on a cold, wet night, moth
. ing is better than cream soups, to-
mato, beans, celery or potatoes are
usually on hand as a left over, and
the milk and butter are generally
at hand. am always pleased to
help any of the readers. I've just
had a letter asking where the lacy
can get Bourbon Red turkeys and
Brown Leghorn hens. Can you tell
me?

There are no footprints to follow
on this icy crust. L guess I'll have
to look in all his favorite places.
So Peter hoped from one bram-
ble-tangle to another looking Tor
Old Jed Thumper. He knew all
those bramble- tangles and just
which ones were the favorites Of
Old Jed Thumper. He found places
where Old Jed Thumper had tried
to get a little bark. Bark was the
only food a Rabbit could get in the
Old Pasture with that icy crust COW
ering the snow. 1t was so hard that
no Rabbit could possibly dig down
through it.
Peter became more and more wor-
ried. He had Thought to find Old
Jed Thumper long before this. He
had visited every one of Old Jed
Thumper's favorite places without
getting so much as a glimpse Of
him. At last he remembered a bram-
ble-tangle in a far corner of the
Old Pasture. If Old Jed TRumper
wasn't there Peter would have to
give up looking for him.
II am afraid somei hing has hap
pened to him. Yes, sir, I am afraid
something has happened to him,
muttered Peter as he started for
that bramble-tangle.

Melon Acreage Likely
To Be Cut In Half

MOULTRIE, Ga, Jan. 23.-In
the opinion of men here who study
farm conditions, not more than half
of the 1923 acreage will be given 20
melons this year. The reason given
is the poor returns from melons last
summer when the majority of the
growers lost money on their. ship
ments. The acreage last year was
unprecedented and weather cundl-
lions were exceedingly unfavorable.
Many of those who planted were
also without experience in growing
melons and these were particularly
hard hit. 1t is also stated that
part of the loss on the crop was
due to the fact that many farmers
living too far from a shipping point
tried melon production on a large
scale and found the cost of getting
their crop to the railroad ali cut If
proportion to the returns 1ereivei
from it.
Melon men look for a better sen
son this year and believe that it
south Georglas crop does not go
beyond $4,000 cars and is produced
near shipping centers, it will bring
a fine profit.

Man Insists on Paying
30 Cents for Pears
Stolen IL Years Ago

MILTON, Fla, Jan. 24.-Theft of
pears twelve year ago seems to be
pressing heavily upon the mind of
a letter writer in Columbus, Ga,
who signs himself P. A. Trawick.
Eighteen months ago, H. L. Cohen,
received a check for thirty cents
from Trawick, with the explanation
that ten or more years ago he had
stolen pears from Cohen's orchard
and that he wanted ''to make his
peace with God and to get ready for
Divine justice" The check was not
cashed, Mr.. Cohen keeping it as
souvenir of the outstanding honesty
of one man in the world. Not cash
ing the check seems to worry the
Georgia man, who a few days ago
wrote that your money has been
waiting for you all the time, but I
am now checking it out and sending
you stamps for the amount, to salts
fly Divine justice and get myself
ready to meet my God, I hope you
will do likewise -

think many would like them who

was here last spring, who declared
that she couldn't bear carrots" Yet
she ate them many times, at least
once a week and called them ''red

Peter Goes to Look for Gold Jed
Thumper
This truth will triumph soon or late:
There's no place in this world for
hate.
Dotnr ll,it
Peter Rabbit.

Peter Rabbit is such a happy-go-
lucky fellow that he seldom gives
much thought to others, and does
very little worrying. But he is very
good-hearted, is Peter Rabbit. When
he saw how worried little Mrs.
Peter was over her father, Old Jed
Thumper, the big, gray Rabbit who
lives in the Old Pasture, he began to
worry too. AT first. he only worried
about little Mrs. Peter. She was
losing her appetite, and this wasn't
the kind of weather for any one to
lose appetite.
He didn't want to think of Old
Jed Thumper, but he couldn't help
it. Every time he looked at little
Mrs. Peter and saw how worried she
was he had to think of Old Jed
Thumper. And after awhile he him
self actually began to worry about
Old Jed Tnumper. He knew that
with all the trees and bushes and
vines coated with ice, and with the
snow covered with a hard, icy crust
getting enough to eat would be no
easy matter for even as big and
stout a Rabbit as Old Jed Thumper.
IF he We're down here in the
dear Old Briar Patch" thought
Peter, she would be all right. There
is food enough here for him without
either Mrs. Peter or [ having to go
hungry. I am sure that when this
has been eaten Farmer Browns Boy
will bring more. 1t is dreadful to
go hungry at any time, but it is al
ways worse in SUCH weather as this.
A fellow can't keep warm and strong
in this kind of weather unless he
has plenty of food. I believe I'll run
up to the Old Pasture and see how
Old Jed Thumper is getting along.
If he is all right I'll say nothing to
him, but if he really is in a bad way
I'll invite him down to the dear
Old Briar Patch"
So without saying anything to
little Mrs. Peter, Peter started for
the Old Pasture. He got there safe
ly, and then started to look for old

How to Make a Compost Heap
w. r. H, Atlanta, Ga, writes:
I will appreciate all the infornla-
ton you can give me in regard
to the making of compost
heap.
In reference to the preparation Of
compost heaps, we would offer you
the following suggestions:
First, almost any sort Of material
that is free from disease may be
used for the preparation Of COM
post. The first proposition is to re-
duce the coarse material through its
rapid decay. This can be bl Oughr
about in one Of several ways. Make
a hollow in the ground, depending
on the size of the operations you
have in view. Put in layer of
coarse material then layer say
of yard manure and alternate these
until you have built a coneshapeG
pile. Wet this down thoroughly ana
keep it wet. Presently, you will
have to fork it over in order to fur.
Their compact it. In making a com
post heap, you must do your best
to exclude the air. Keeping it wet
is also matter of the utmost i'm
rortance. If yard manure Or other
substances that will undergo fermen-
tation readily are not available, you
can break down leaves and trash
through the use of caustic lime. We
do not regard the use Of caustic lime
with as much favor, however, as the
first one described.
After compost materials have been
broken down, you may take loco
pounds by weight and nix 200
pounds of phosphate ther ewith. One
ton of this material applied to ar
acre will supply about one half as
much plant food as a S2-2 formula
put on at the rate say of 500 to
1000 pounds per acre. You can
readily understand that the mater
ials in a compost heap will vary Il
good deal in composition. On the
other hand, composted materials
exert benefits in the soil which Or
binary commercial fertilizers Go not
exert. 1 make a compost of all the
waste materials on my premises.
I also incorporate all the leaves and
trash gathered up off my lawn, l
am able to make a ton or two IF
compost each year which I put Ill
my cold frames in the fall. I take
this out in the spring and scatter
over the rose beds, the lawn and
parts of the garden which need
bringing up. am naturally care
full to see that no diseased plants
or vegetables are thrown on NY
compost heap.
