SAVING MANY STEPS
IN PLANNING GARDEN
Convenience Should Be the Main
Consideration.
Place Vegetables Most Commonly Used
as Near to Kitchen as Possible
Corn, Pole Beans and Toma-
toes on One Side.

Plan for convenience in the garden.
Convenience in the garden is just as
essential as it is in the kitchen, the
laundry, the garage or the stable.
Economy Of steps and work should be
the main consideration Place the
vegetables most commonly used near
est to the kitchen door. The early
spring vegetables should be conven-
iently at hand where the family chef
may step out to gather the crisp young
radishes, onions, Iettuce and early
spinach.
These early vegetables often will
have to be picked in rainy weather
when proximity will be appreciated.
The permanent vegetables, such as as
paragus and rhubarb, should be placed
where they will be least in the way
and least interfere with the efficiency
Of the general garden plan. Their
space cannot be shared by other veg
etables and should be at one side of
the garden, usually the one most dis
tant from the house
The tallest vegetables such as corn,
pole beans, and tomatoes should be
placed to the side of the garden rather
than in the middle spaces where it will
be necessary to go around them to
reach lower vegetables on either side.

IMPORTANT TO KEEP
HARNESS IN REPAIR
Parts Should Be Adjusted to Fit
Horses Properly.
Not Difficult to Allow Team Few
Days Rest in Severe Weather
Renew All Broken or Badly
Worn Pieces.

Every farmer realizes the i'm
portance of having irst-class set OF
team and light harness. 1t is not only
essential that the parts are adjusted
so as to fit the horses properly, but the
harness requires to be occasionally
dressed with some softening preserva-
tive, so that it will be kept strong,
durable and attractive.
AS it takes day or two to go over
the harness in a thorough manner, it
is well to choose a time when there is
no work for the horses. However, it
will not be difficult to allow the horses
few days rest during the winter
weather.
When dressing a harness it is just
as well to give it a good overhauling
while you are at it. Take all the
straps off the harness, breeding, back
band and bride apart. If any parts
are broken or badly worn they should
either be replaced or renewed. Then
give all the parts a thorough washing
with a good harness soap. This well
rubbed in and applied with a sponge.
After the harness is well dried it can
receive a dressing of some softening
and waterproofng preservative, such as
neatsfoot oil, or any of the other good
dressings which are on the market.
Last of all the brass mountings
should be polished. 1t is wonderful the
Improvement this will make.
Putting the harness parts together
will be an easy job for the expert
enced one, but it will be rather con-
fusing to the uninitiated. However,
with a little display of commonsense
even the beginner will not find it puz-
cling.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
Many successful farmers of the pres
ent day own an automobile and q. trac-
tor, sometimes more than one automO-
bile or more than one tractor These
are considered necessary equipment in
the conduct of their work. The auto
mobile and tractor require constant at
tentfon and care to keep them in rum
ming order and up to full efficiency.
The same is true of the work horses
on the farm. They must be fed and
housed and given proper attention if
they are to do the work required Of
them But is the welfare of the farm
er himself and his family being looked
after as thoroughly as that of his
automobile, his tractor and his farm
with foods that make for efficiency and
the highest type of both physical and
mental development? 1t is generally
supposed that the farmer lives well,
but there is abundant evidence to
show that in many cases he does not.
In fact, his table is often not SO well
supplied with desirable fruits and vege-
tables as are the tables of the people
living in the cities who are supplied
from his and other farms.
Garden Sidetracked.
The farm garden, which during the
early days of civilization in this coun-
try was a recognized institution, has in
a measure and to a considerable de-
gree been sidetracked in the tendency
toward farm specialization. This is
especially true in the lone crop" Sec
lions. The argument advanced by the
farmers is 'that it does not pay to have
a garden, since one or two more acres
of cotton; corn or wheat will bring

HANDBOOK or DAIRY
STATISTICS WANTED
Necessary to Print More Copies
to Meet Popular Demand.
Circulars show Trend of Cattle, But.
ter and Cheese Industries and
Form a Basis for Their
Future Development.

prepared by the United States Depart hlent
of Agrioulture)
An additional printing Of 10000
copies Of the Handbook OF Dairy Sta
tistica which was issued few months
ago by the dairy division Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, has been found
necessary in order to meet the demand
for information Of this ki1Io.
The handbook is Of pocket size and
contains 135 tables giving statistics
on dairy production and trade through
out the world. Three circulars have
also been published illustrating the
material contained in the handbook
by means Of graphs and charts which
show the trend Of the dairy cattle, but
ter and cheese industries, respectively,
and form basis for the development
Of these industries.
Department Circular z, Trend Of the
Dairy Cattle Industry in the United
States and Other Countries, shows In
graphic form the imports and exports
Of cattle by the United States for the
last 20 years; shows the kind and
quantity of new blood in the form of
importations Of purebred cattle that
has been used in developing the cattle
Of the United States during the last SO
years, and presents a series Of charts
showing the increase in the number Of
dairy cows in the United States in pro-
portion to the total number Of cattle,
compared with the relative progress
made in ofbnr countries
Department Circular 20, Trend Of
the Butter Industry in the United
Estates and Other Countries, brings out
the interesting fact that the United
Kingdom was the market for more
than half the butter moving in inter
national trade, before the war; while
Denmark and Russia furnished more
than half Of the butter on the inter-
national market.
Department Circular II, Trend Of
the Cheese Industry in the United
States and Other Countries, shows the
great change that has taken place in
the cheese industry of the United
States since the year 1880, when this
country was the greatest cheese-ex-
porting country in the world. In 1918
there were five countries, each of
which exceeded the United States in
exports.
All these publications on dairy sta
tistics may be obtained without cost
from the United States Department Of
Agriculture, Washington, D. O., as long
as the supply lasts.

POINTS FOR SQUAD RAlSERS
Find Plenty to Do in Winter In
Caring for Birds.

Managers of successful squab-rais-
ing plants always find plenty to do in
winter taking care OF their breeding
pigeons, seeing they are properly
mated, culled, housed and fed. Ii
large plump squads are to be produced
next spring the breeding pigeons must
be kept in a good thrifty condition or
the percentage of hatch will be low.
The problem of growing a large strain
of squads depends on the kind of pi-
geons you select to keep in the breed
ing pens. BY culling out the small,
weak birds, with undesirable color of
skin and other such points and dispos-
ing of the discarded ones the feed bill
will be greatly reduced.
The birds should be looked after
closely during the mating season. Odd
or minated males must always be re,
moved from the breeding pens. Pr
geons are usually mated at the age Of
five or six months, and in some cases
they are not mated until they are
eight or nine months old.
With the increasing demand for
plump squads many of the SQUAD
raising plant owners. have been labor

fall and winter when the hours of
daylight are shorter the seedlings of
these various groups develop charac-
teristic differences in height, erect
ness and branching
AS a result of the discovery Of the
effect of the length of day on the per-
Torrance Of alfalfa plants, the ability
of this crop to endure cold will not be
the only factor to be considered in Sc
Iecting varieties for the parts Of the
country with rigorous winters. The
number Of hours Of daylight will have
something to do with their selection.
In the Southwest, Peruvian alfalfa
starts earlier in the spring, and keeps
going later in the fall than other va
rfeties. It is able to make better
growth during short days than other
aIfaifas, and is not particularly bene-
flied by long periods Of daylight, but
the plants suffer considerable winter
injury this far north. Northern vari-
cites, on the other hand, do not adapt
themselves to the short days of Ari-
iona. This shows why varieties of
one section, even though they may be
hardy enough, cannot be used success
fully in some other localities.
Not Suitable In North.
If you buy Argentine seed you can
be sure that it is not suitable in the
north. 1t should be grown at least
no farther north than Kansas seed.
Large quantities of seed are being inn
ported from the Argentine in fact
most of the imported alfalfa now
comes from that country. From July
I. 1922, to January 10, 1928, approx
mately 6,320,OOO pounds were received
from that country and only 281,600
pounds from other countries.

enough money to buy all the vegetables
needed by the family" The fact Is
that the money received for the cotton,
corn or wheat go to pay running ex-
penses and the vegetables are not pur-
chased and the farmer and his family
go without this element of their living.
It is reported that one western wheat
farmer was offered only So cents a
bushel for his 1922 wheat crop which
cost him 90 cents a bushel to produce.
1t is difficult to see how that farmer
can purchase many fruits or vegeta-
bles for his table on the profits of his
wheat crop. The argument that it
does not pay to have q garden can be
disproved, for it is fact that no other
similar area of land on the farm gives
so great a return in actual value as
the garden. The truth of the matter
is the average farmer who plants a
garden uses the products on his own
table without making any calculation
as to their value AT the end Of the
season the vegetables have been eaten
and forgotten about and the impress
sion on the mind of the farmer is that
they had no value.
Valuation of Garden.
From the development of the thou
sands of backyard and community gar
dens, also the garden work conducted
by the boys and girls clubs, fostered
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, a basis for the valuation
of farm and backyard gardens has been
established. Market values of SIS to
$3.50 from one-tenth acre OF land are
numerous and it is safe to estimate
that one-half acre of well cared for
farm garden will give value Of not
less than $3.50 per season.

surface conditions, and the use to be
made Of the machine. The three prin-
cipal types of tractors are the ordi-
nary wheeled type, the crawler, and the
general purpose tractor. The ordi-
nary wheeled tractor is found on
more farms than any other type. The
crawlsE tractor is particularly adapted
to uap on sandy soils or soils which
tend TO pack easily. The general pur-
pose tractor has been found satisfac-
tory for use in all the ordinary opera
tionS for which the other types are
used, as well as for blowing corn.
Ofsing to the high cost of gasoline,
many machines are now equipped with
carburetors that will burn kerosene,
thus reducing fuel costs about one
half.
Select Standard Make.
In choosing a tractor, the bulletin
advises. the farmer can hardly go
wrong if he selects one of the standard
makes upon which he can obtain
prompt service, and for which the
parts that require the most attention
and care and frequently need to be re-.
placed are easily accessible. Differ
ence in prices of tractors are frequent
ly found to be due to accessories and
extra equipment on some machines.
AS daily operation of a tractor is tir-
ing, prospective purchasers are urged
not to overlook features of construc-
ton that add to the comfort of the
operator and contribute to safety.
First cost of a machine should not be
the only. consideration, says the bulle-
tin, as other important features may
be overlooked and poor choice result.
The bulletin gives formula for es-
timating the proper size of pulley to
use on any machine to be run from the
tractor.
