V. 1H GARDENS LESSEN COST OF C They Will Return Abundantly In Proportion to Time and Effort Expended. COMMERCIAL PLAHT1HG GUT , Big Vegetable Gardeners See No Way of Obtaining Enough Labor to Conduct Usual Operations Make All Plans Early. (Prepared by tho United States Depart ment of Agricultures One way of reducing the cost ot living Is open to uvery man, woman nnd child who can get the use of an Idle plot of ground. That, way lies through the planting and cultivation of a home garden a Thrift garden. War gardens played their part In the great mobilization of resources In wartime Thrift gardens now have their own big Job In helping house holds to feed themselves. The reasons for Thrift gardens nre many and various. The same reasons that existed last year and the year be fore still nre present. Thrift gardens will produce food where nothing other wise would be produced, they will re duce family footl bills, they will return abundantly In proportion to the time and effort devoted to them. Hut add ed to these reasons Is another one pe culiar to this year. Less Commercial Planting, Reports to the Unitod States de partment of agriculture Indicate that tho plantings by commercial vegetnblo gardeners will be materially reduced this year, because the commercial gar deners see no way of obtaining enough labor to conduct their usual opera tions. The commercial gardeners claim that they have paid high wages In endeavors to keep up production, but now have reached the point where the returns will got justify the con tinuance of this expense. At least, that Is the report reaching the depart ment of agriculture from seed mer chants, whose operations at this i- I A Typical Home Garden The oort That Will Bring Health and Profit to the Tillers. son ore regarded as a good Indication of what conditions will be a month or two from now. If the reduction of commercial gar dening becomes a fact, the obvious re sult will be fewer vegetables and higher prices. The logical remedy lies partly In home gardens. This Is a remedy, moreover, that will work no harm even If the commercial ncre age should be up to normal, as any surplus of fresh vegetables may be saved by- canning, drying, nnd other means of conservation and the surplus kept so that It will be useful next fall and winter. Many More Gardens Needed. Thousands of families learned tho value of home gardens In wartime. United States department of agricul ture specialists believe It essential that these families' Interest be main tained nntl Hint other thousands be added to the home-food producers. "Now Is the time to begin mnklng plans for your 1020 Thrift gardens," these specialists declare. "First, lo cate a piece of suitable land; second, make your plnn; third, get your seeds; fourth, start work at the earliest ios slble moment." A request to the United Stntes de partment of ngrlculture, Washington, D. C, will bring a booklet that will toll how to plan your garden, how much seed to buy, bow to get tho land In shape for cultivation, how to take every other step-in the process of making your bark yard or some. other vacant lot help feed you. WEEDS ARE VALUABLE ASSET Noxious Plants Cut Down and Turned Under Excellent Fertilizer for Garden, Weeds In the back yard, or on flint vacant lot next door are an asset to the gardener, for ho knows, or should know, that these weeds, cut down and turned under In the garden plot, mean fertilizer for his soil. Turn the rank grass under with the wheel boo nnd cultivate It once to destroy the growth. When mnnure Is not procur able this green material Is Invaluable, lit lilP EFFICIENT PLANNING OF GARDENS FAVORED important to Make Cultivation Easy and Simple. Plant In Long, Straight Rows and Cultivate at Least Once Each Week Hardest Part of Work Performed by Horse. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Of several thousand fifrm women who answered a series of questions sent out by the extension service of the United Stntes department of agri culture, 1)2 per cent had gardens and fift per cent of the gardens were tend ed mainly by the women themselves. If this ho universally true, It Is Impor tant that the farm garden be planned so that the work of cultivating It will be simple and easy. All of the heavier work, such as plowing and fitting the laud, should be dune by men with the aid of a team. The jrnrden should ho planted In long, straight rows and cultivated onco a week with a horse, according to sdc- Til Lonq Rows in This Farm Garden Are Great Time and Labor Savers, Making Possible the Use of a Horso in Cultivation. clallsts. If this much Is done by tho men the work of the women will be materially reduced. The care of a home garden Is not hard work If the lilting of the land and the main psfrt of the cultivation Is done with horse- I drawn tools. IMan the farm garden right, work It right, and It will provo the most profitable piece of hind on the fnrm. TEST SEEDS BEFORE SOWING I Essential Preparation Consists of Pro. vlding Apparatus and Knowledge i of Methods. ' Practically the only element In crop production that the farmer has com- j pletely under his own control Is tho , planting of good seed. I It Is Important that farm seeds bo tested before they are sown. Other- I wise, a full crop cannot ho grown i even under the most favorable weath- i er conditions. Seetl testing for practical results, i says the United Stntes Department of Agriculture, can be done much moro easily than Is generally believed. The essentlnl preparation for mak ing seed tests consists of providing the simple apparatus necessary anil of becoming familiar with the general purposes nnd methods of testing and the features of Importance peculiar to tests of particular kinds of seeds. Ask the county agent, or write tho Department of Agrleulturo for a bul letin. FEED LITTLE CALVES GRAIN Young Animal Deglns to Eat When About Two Weeks Old, Amount Gradually Increasing. When the calf Is about two weeks old It will begin to eat. If a small amount of grain Is plnccd In a box and kept before the calf It will he only a short time before it begins to eat reg ularly. A quarter of a pound or less each day will be sulllclent for ten dnys or more and this can be gradually In creased, giving tho calf all It will clean up. PoultpyNoteS Take care of your setting hens, feed und water them regularly. Perhaps the greatest drawback to turkey farms Is tho lack of range. When tho chicks have learned to roost It Is much easier to protect them from mites. Although ducks nnd geese nre water fowls, they must have a dry, well-bedded house or shed to rest In. . Mites, lice nnd fleas are tho prolific anil everlasting root of most of the troubles of the poultry raiser. Only laying fowls nre worth keep ing In the spring; the first step toward beating last year's record Is to cull the non-luyers. A good, laying strain of hens will keep busy Inylng all during tho breed ing season If they nre shut up and 'their hroodlaess broken each time. URIC ACID IN MEAT CLOGS THE KIDNEYS Take Glass of Salts If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers. If you must havo your meat every day, cat It, but (lush your kidneys with units oCHslonntly, says a noted au thority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paraly7.es tho kidneys In their efforts to expel It from tho blood. They become slug gish nnd weaken, then you suffer with n dull misery In the kidney region, Bhnrp pains In the tmck or sick bend nche. dizziness, your stomnch sours, tongue Is coated and when tho wenther Is had you have rheumatic twinges.
