'H..."t’. Al... . - . We hear a good deal about the : high cost of livnng. This article does not deal with that subject, but, rather, with the low cost of living hi . Is not that a subject worth ta in; about? ' Few of us realize the value of a good and well-balanced home car- den. We hold in remembranc perhaps. the days of our youth, when it fell to our lot to ‘ weed the rows of beets, carrots and turnips out in the back yard, in the little plot of ground which served as a garden. It may he that we also remember some of the products of that garden. I. like most other boys, horn and reared on the farm. used to hold in horror the word Rarden. Then my years in the city tauirht me. to appreciate the poetry of a crisp cucumber, not one that had been sunning itself in a mar- ketman‘s window for a week, but a cuke of just the right size and fresh fer the vines. lcould not relish the taste of even the meagre side dish of green peas usually ser- ved in the city. Somehow, my thoughts would stray hack to the home garden of childhood and 1‘ would catch myself longing for the full htM'ls of green peas, cooked with plenty of pork. such as “mo- tho-r llsml to serVe".

There is a lot at work in taking the proper care of a good garden. but the work is plea- sant. now that we have outgrown our boyhood antipathy t0 gardens. i would also say that work in the garden is the best sort of exercise for the office worker or he who gets little exercise at his usual daily labor. ' We find many farms where the garden is turned over to the wo- men of the household. Puttering around with such small operations is considered to be beneath the dig- nity of the farmer, himself, or his hired help. Well, it is certain that women make good gardens. My ,mother did, and doubtless man ' of my readers can say the same t ing of their mothers, it they were for- tunate enough to have been born :and reared on a farm. The vegetable garden, as well as the [lower gar- den comes within the scope of wo- .men, even those women who do not live on farms, but who work in offices, stores and factories. (iardens are good for everybody but thpy are pspecially good for the farmer.
