(Fnpsnd by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) It is Impossible to make an accurate estimate of the value of the vegetables which may be grown in home gardens ID the South, but it is safe to say that a well-kept garden will yield a return eight or ten times as great as the re­ turn from an equal area devoted to cotton or to other general farm crops. Of even greater importance than the money value of the products of the garden is the satisfaction of having a bountiful supply of vegetables close at hand where they can be' secured at A moment's notice. Location of Garden. -- 2& selecting the location for a home vegetable garden the question of prox­ imity to the house should be given first consideration. As the work of caring for the garden is usually done in spare time, the location selected should be a» near the house as possible. The slope and type of soil should be the next considerations. A slope to the south or southeast is usually prefer­ able, because here the soil warms up early in the spring, which permits early planting and stimulates the early growth of crops. Practically any type of soil can be used for the garden, but a sandy loam is to be preferred. Good drainage is of prime import­ ance. The land should have sufficient Where diseases are very severe, the same crop should not be planted con­ tinuously on the same area. Rotation of crops is one of the safeguards against soil infection. Land upon which a diseased crop has been grown ^should not be used for the same or a fClosely related crop oftener than one* in three years. It Is usually advisable to rotate crops in such a way that foliage crops (such as cabbage, kale, spinach, and mustard) follow root crops (Irish potatoes, beets, parsnips, carrots, etc.) or those grown for fruits (tomatoes, peppers, melons, etc.). This can be accomplished in a fneasure by changing the location of crops in the planting plan or by reversing the s plan from year to year., Preparation of Soil. The soil that is to be used for vege­ tables should be thoroughly prepared before planting. A deep see«lbed is desirable, and when an area that has never been plowed more than four inches deep must be used it should be deepened by gradually increasing the depth of plowing for a period of three or four years until the desired depth is attained. Clay soil should be plowed in the fall if there is no danger of washing, so as to get it in a good mechanical condition before planting time. In the cooler regions of the South freez­ ing will pulverize the soil, while in regions where freezes do not occur the pulverizing must be (lone by harrowing and cultivation. Sandy loams or soils that contain a large amount of humus should be plowed far enough In advance to allow the soil to settle be­ fore planting . Manures and Fertilizer*. The soil for vegetable growing should be rich and well supplied with humus. Barnyard or stable manure is the best fertilizer, because it furnishes both plantfood and humus. An appli­ cation of 20 to 30 tons of manure to the acre is very satisfactory, and on some soils this application will need but little re-enforcing with commercial fertilizers. The manure should be ap­ plied far enough in advance of plant­ ing time to allow it to decay. Where PATCH OF TALL GROWING PEA8 IN HOME GARDEN. tall to drain off surplus water during heavy rains, but the fall should not be so great as to wash the soil. If the land near the house is level, artificial drainage should be employed. Open ditches or tile drains will be satisfac­ tory. On level land that is not arti­ ficially drained it is necessary to plant on ridges or in beds to prevent drown­ ing the crops, during wet weather. The ridges or beds should be as wide and flat as conditions will allow, for nar­ row, sharp ridges dry out quickly. Arrangement of Garden. The first consideration In planning the garden is the kind of cultivation to be given. Horse cultivation is rec- . ommended whenever possible, and where the work is to be done mainly by means of horse tools the garden should be long and narrow with the rows running the long way. The gar­ den should have no paths across the rows, but turning spaces should be left at the ends. For hand cultivation the rows can be much closer together and may run across the garden. Straight lines should be followed, oe matter what method of culture is used. The size of the garden depends upon the number of persons to be supplied. One-fourth to one-half an acre is suf­ ficient for an average family and should produce enough vegetables for use throughout the year. By close at­ tention to the rotation of crops, the succession of crops, and interplanting, one-fourth of an acre may be made to supply a family of six. Where land is plentiful it is recommended that a suf­ ficient area be set aside to allow part of the garden to be planted to a soli- improving crop each year. The location of permanent crops, such as asparagus, rhubarb, and small fruits, should be carefully considered. These crops should be placed at one side, so that they will not be in the way when the garden is plowed. v Succession of Crop*. In planning the location of crops, consideration should be given to the matter of succession, in order that the land may be occupied as large a part of the time as possible. It is not ad­ visable to have a second planting of the same crop or a closely related crop follow the first. Cabbage should not follow cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, mustard, or kale, for many of the same, diseases and insects affect all bf these crops. Tomatoes, eggplants and pep­ pers should not follow each other. In some sections three or four crops can be grown on the same land each year, while in other sections two crops are all that can be grown to advantage. When a crop is harvested early in the season and it is not practicable to plant another vegetable for two or three months, the land may be planted to cowpeas or crimson clover. Rotation of Crops. Rotation of crops is as important In growing vegetables as in growing field crops, and the same principles can be iipplied. Crop rotation is important In checking diseases and insects and in keeping the soil in good condition. coarse manure Is used, it should be ap­ plied in the fall and turned under, but well-rotted manure should be applied after plowing and shoul^ be well mixed with the soil by harrowing. On many soils it is advisable to apply com inercial fertilizer, especially phos­ phates, in addition to the manure. Cultivation of Garden Crops. Frequent shallow cultivation should be given garden crops. By keeping the surface of the soli stirred a dust mulch is formed, which prevents the loss of moisture through the pores In the soil and keeps down weeds. The soil should be cultivated as soon as possible after a rain, to break the crust and prevent baking. Sandy soils may be cultivated when quite wet, but clay soils should not be stirred when sticky. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the matter of thorough cul­ tivation. If the work is properly done at the right time there will be little difficulty in controlling weeds. In cultivating the garden, small tooth cultivators should be used to pre­ vent ridging or furrowing. A turn plow or sweep should not be used for cultivation unless the land becomes so woody that cultivation will not do the work. Frequent cultivation kills the weeds between, the rows before they become large, but hand work will be necessary to keep the soil stirred be­ tween the plants and to keep down weeds in the row. ENORMOUS WASTE OF MANURE Estimated That Farmers of Country Lose $200,000,000 Yearly--Much Could Be Saved, It has been estimated hy some au­ thorities that the farmers of this coun try lose the enormous sum of $200,- 000.000 a year in waste of manure. A large portion of this loss, doubtless could be saved, and the use of this plant food Is greatly needed on man; farms. TEST ALL SEED FOR PURITY Advice of Secretary of Department of Agriculture--Absolute Waste to Plant Weeds. The secretary of the United States department of agriculture, states that "every farmer should test all seeds fdr purity and germination before plant­ ing." It is an absolute waste to plant dead seeds or seed which is badly mixed yrith noxious weeds. Wasting Manure. The farmer who allows the best part of his stable manure to leak out into the creek has little reason to complain of poor crops doe to the sqardty at fertilizers. Coal Is Cheapest. Coal Is pretty expensive, but at that It i« cheaper for warming up drinking water for the, stock than corn and oat a or oil meal. TURN TO BOWDITCH Book by Salem Man, Long Dea$ Has Become War Factor, i I. Young Officers of the United States Merchant Marine Are Poring Over % American Navigator?* as Sailor's Guide. No American of today is exercising so potent an Influence in the country's present extraordinary development In seagoing as Nathaniel Bowditch, who has been in his grave for more than eighty yedfcs, and whose name is unrec­ ognized by millions of his fellow coun­ trymen. Persons who follow the rise and de­ cline of the "best sellers" among boioks may be surprised to know that Bow- ditch was the author of one of the best-selling books ever produced, which has run through hundreds of editions, In all civilized languages, has been sell­ ing steadily for more than a hundred years, and since the great war began has been in greater demand than ever. This book is known as the "Ameri­ can Practical Navigator." It, Is the guide of every keel that sails the Seven Seas, and Is familiarly known to sail­ ors the world over as "Bowditch,** or "Bowditch's Epitome.** With America's entry Into the war, the demand for Bowditch's "Naviga­ tor" became so great that a special edition of the book was published to meet it, by the United States hydro- graphic office, notwithstanding that editions had been as recently Issued as Ip 1916, and also In 1914. For a time it 'fras difficult to obtain a copy of the "Navigator." Since the appearance of the 1917, edition, however, all demands for the hook can be met. The Increased demand for the book was caused chiefly by the stimulus given the study of navigation among young Americans by the training serv­ ice of the United States shipping board, which Is schooling hundreds of young men to serve as officers on the ships of the new merchant marine. Bowditch was Called by his contem­ poraries "an Intellectual prodigy." He" has since been termed "the Ocean Pathfinder." On receipt of the news of his death. In 1836, vessels in the chief ports of the world half-masted their flags. His book was then said by one eulogist to be "In practical utility second to no work of man ever pub­ lished." Of the personality of the man who achieved this great distinction very little is recalled today, in spite of the vital influence of his work In the pres­ ent development of his country. He was born in the old shippiDg town of Salem, Mass., in 1773. His people were poor, and he was obliged to leave school when but twelve, to serve in a ship chandler's shop. There, while selling rope and marlln- splkes, the youth fell In with men from far voyages. One was an old British sailor, who taught the lad navigation. Algebra so fascinated the boy he "could not sleep after a first glance at It." It chanced that about this time privateer came Into Salem with the booty of a cruise that Included a library of philosophical works, the property of Dr. Richard Kirwan, an Irish scientist, taken from a freighter captured off the Irish coast. The books were sold at auction, and bought by Salem citizens as the nucleus of a library. Young Bowditch had ac­ cess to them, read them eagerly, and copied most of them for further use. When twenty-two, Bowditch made his first voyage to sea, as captain's clerk on a Salem ship. He sailed nine years in all, one voyage being on the Astrea, the first American ship to visit Manila harbor. Every man In the Astrea's crew soon learned they had a genius among them, Bowditch looked the scholar and de­ voted many hours a day to study. He made every man aboard a navigator, and it was said, each of them "could work a lunar observation as well as Sir Isaac Newton." When not studying young Bowditch paced the deck in deep thought. At such times nobody spoke to him, know­ ing that in due course he would dash Into his cabin to set down the restilts of his concentration, as he rarely failed to do. It is related that one day the ship was attacked by a privateer, and Bow­ ditch was assigned to pass powder from the magazine. The gun crews got no powder, anu investigation showed Bowditch seated on a powder keg, working out a difficult problem on his bin It!. On arriving In Boston harbor from a voyage in 1802, Bowditch attended the commencement at Harvard college, and was surprised to find himself named for an honorary degree as bach­ elor of arts, his work as an authority on navigation having won him recogni­ tion. Retiring from the sea In 1804, Bow­ ditch became president of a fire Insur­ ance company. He declined professor­ ships at Harvard, the Military academy at West Point and the University of Virginia. His life was devoted largely to per­ fecting his "Navigator," and to the translation from the French and an­ notation of La Place's "Celestial Me­ chanics," a coliossal work on astrono­ my showing great erudition by the translator, bat now known only to a few astronomers. Powerful Exterminator. In India and Australia a rat and rabbit exterminator was tested some time ago. It consists of an outer and inner metal shell, like one small egg In a larger one. In the outer shell is sulphuric acid, In the inner metal egg is dry cyanide of potash. The outer shell Is filled with acid and placed in the rat hole or burrow, and all rat holes are tightly sealed. After an houi" or so the acid eats into the cyanide and turns loose a lot of deadly prussie add gas. HOW FRENCH WOMEN SAVE Their Natural Talent for Economy Has Done Much to Help Withstand -• Hardships of War. ^. J *Ttie French housewife, with ht-r t&- tive talent for economy, has saved France up to the present time fully as much as have those fighting in the trenches. Good advice has been given to Americans, If they will only take It. Rich women who have had many servants now have few. Expenses are cut ail along the line. Simple meals and simple habits replace elaborate ones. A lady 'buys clothes, but for or­ phans and refugees, not for herself. Poor women, who must reduce sim­ plicity to frugality--what do they do? They make one son buy two sous' worth by watching every centime. This, for countless women In Paris, means getting up at five o'clock in the morning to get a choice of things at the great market, Les Halles; walk­ ing long distances to go where things cost not so much as nearer home; walking instead of riding; keeping vig­ ilant watch on the venders' carts along' the street for good values; turning plain foods into attractive dishes by a well-flavored sauce and a garnishing which costs nothing. In the old residential quarters of Paris there are hundreds of women of aristocratic connections and moderate means who before the war had several servants and who now have none, or perhaps one. And to women of all de­ grees of wealth there could scarcely be a more interesting study than to see how these gentlewomen and their htimble helpers give a charming touch to hard economy. A representative household Is one where the regular Income has suddenly stopped, but leaving a little more than the small government allowance. The Ingenuity of housekeeper and cook ac­ complishes wonders. In many a home butter may now be served once a week and perhaps with only one course. Perhaps three large strawberries must suffice for „each serving at des­ sert, but they will be served with a grace that makes the eating of them a pretty ceremonial. If gooseberries and currants are Inexpensive they will com­ bine remarkably with othef' berries for„ a compote. Perhaps dessert will be a spoonful of jelly with a simple little cake; or perhaps dessert will give way to cheese, taking on a new attractive­ ness on its plate of green leaves.--Les­ lie's Weekly.

The report published In a Bridge­ port newspaper that the owner of a grist mill at Sandy Hook, Conn., having secured a few bags of wheat, ground it up and sold it to his neighbors to be mixed with Western flour, the result being a cheaper material for bread, brings us back to the days of hardly more than a generation ago, when Northern farmers produced grain on their farms and had it ground in the neighboring grist mill, then an institu­ tion to be found within a few mHes of every neighborhood. There was no in­ dication in those days that the ground product of the grain, whether corn or wheat, was Inferior to any produced elsewhere. But now with the advent of modern machinery our civilization seems to demand a flour from which every particle of nutritious gluten, so far as it tends to discolor tlR flour, is eliminated. As for home-grown, home- ground cornmeal, that is a rarity, known only to a few old-time epicures and secured by them with considerable difficulty. In the southern Appalach­ ians. however, the old-time grist mill 1b still in use.--Providence Journal. Eleven, by Actual Count. An old toper started home one night in his normal condition, with a tur­ key which he had bought for his Christmas dinner. The road was rough, and he fell several times over all sorts of obstruc­ tions In the path,, dropping the turkey each time, but picking it up again. Entering his house, he steadied him­ self as well as he could, and said to his wife: "Here, wifey, I've brought you' eleven turkeys." "Eleven turkeys!" Cried his wife. "I see but one." "Nonsense, you're blind!" cried her good man. "Why, I fell down eleven times coming home, and I swear I pick­ ed up a turkey every time!" Convenient Wrist Watch. "I can't understand why the public make such a Joke of the wrist watch, said the knut to the hardened sinner. "I'm sure it's a great convenience." "Yes. With the old kind of watch I always had to unbutton my coat and fish in every one of my waistcoat pockets for it. Now I have to unbut­ ton my coat, fish In every one of my waistcoat pockets, discover that the watch Isn't there, push up my sleeve, and look at it. A great convenience! His Opinion. Doctor Eaton, a former president of lfadison university, was beloved by the students. One day a student who bad spoken in debate asked him what he thought of the efforts The doctor look­ ed at him and then said slowly, "Ed­ ward, If you would pluck a few feath­ ers from the wings of your imagina­ tion and stick them in the tail of your Judgment, you would make better speeches."--Christian Register. Coal in Caucasus Region. While peasants were recently dig­ ging a well near the village of Tzar- idvor, in the Ressen valley, in the Caucasus, coal was found 16 feet from the surface; the vein, however, was but 2.25 feet in thickness. Enough coal has already been found In this particular locality to supply the entire neighborhood, and in all probability there art* other and greater deposits not yet located. Pitying Jklot Consoling. It is said thjfct the blind are easily discouraged, and one should never talk to them about their misfortune. In Portugal, where the blind are more numerous, posters are placed on the walls of the workshops bearing fftis inscription: "Never pity the blind when talking to them." This advice has been followed In France. In many schools in France one reads signs as follows: "Pitying is not consoling." TREMENDOUS VALUE FOR 15e Washington, D.
