EATT TO GARDEN PLOT Likely to Be Most Profitable Acreage on Farm for Pro ducing Food for Family. REFUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED Considerable Increase In Farm Income Can Oe Made by Sale' of Young, Plants in Hotbeds heady for Transplanting. (Prepared by tho Unltod States Depart ment of Agriculture) Whether t Is conducted on nn ex tensive scale to supply tho market or whether it Is to produce food for tho fuiplly the garden plot Is likely to bo the most profitable acreage on the farm. Any rubbish, dead vines or plants, and bean poles or tomato stakes should bo cleared awny. The earliest and choicest vegetables are hurvested by the man who main tains n few hotbed sashes and uses them to start his garden, lie Is able to handicap the frost lino by several weeks, and to sot strong," well-developed plants In his gnrden at u time his neighbors are planting seed. Increase Farm Income. The farm Income is at its lowest point In the early spring, but It can bo Increased considerably by the sale of young plants grown in tho hotbeds and ready for transplanting. Tomato, cabbage, eggplant, and pepper plants are always snapped up when the llrst wnrni planting days come, and they are easily grown In the hotbed. A lit tle more space and a little more seed than the grower needs for his own use are likely to bring good profits. Be fore tho ground freezes In the fall Is a good .time to clean out the old hot beds. Unless the soil usel In the hotbed '.s to be exchanged for fresh earth It sh'iuld be shoveled from the bed afid tt.i-sed Into a pile nearby. The decayed manure from the bottom Is scattered over tho pile and thoroughly mixed with it to form rich soil for next year's beds. Over this goes a coat of straw or leaves held down by bits of board to keep It from blowing. Some farmers lind it convenient to use evergreen boughs Instead of straw for the outer covering. Hotbed Should Face South. Now hotbed pits should be dug so thnt they will face the south, and tho location should bo selected so that tho beds will bo protected from cold north winds ifhd late spring storms. Some times the earth taken from tho new pit Is suitable for use In tho hotbed, but this Is the exception rather than Coldframc Shown Open tor Ventila tion and Hardening of Plants The Hotbed Is Constructed In Much the Same Manner. the rule. A few loads of leaf mold from the woods mixed with the nat ural soli will often form a smooth, rich, stoncicss mass which gives an Ideal hothed tiller. The back or north side of the frame Is usually made from 12 to 18 Inches high, while the south end Is about eight Indies, so ' that tho whole bed may have pitch enough to get the sun upon all parts. The standard hotbed hmkIi h handled by most dealers, and measures three feet In width ami six feet In length. A frame Just wldo enough to support the sash seems to be tho mint satisfactory, though wider beds are homotlnies used with support ing ridges plnced at six-foot intervals. A well-pnlnted "cypress sash, glazed with good double-strength glnss well set In putty should give the careful gardener 12 to 15 years' service. Heat for tho hotbed Is furnished by means of a bed of horse manure 8 to 10 Inches thick In the bottom of tho pit. Permanent hocheds are often heated with colls of steam or hot-water pipes under the bed. Hotbeds require constant caro to prevent their becoming overheated, es pecially during bright weather. KEROSENE TO DESTROY BUGS Easily Prepared Emulsion of Soap and Oil Is Excellent for Plants and Animals. Kerosene emulsion is one of the vest lice killers on plants and animals, says North Dakota college. It Is enslly pro pared and very cheap. Dissolve one half pound of soap In one gallon of kerosene and stir very vigorously, or better yet, churn with n force pump for a few minutes. For use. dilute one gnllon with nine to ten gallons ot wn ter. Stir well. It Is best to uso rain water. If only a small quantity Is wanted use one to two ounces of soap, two quarts of boiling wnter and ono pint of kerosene und dilute to two gallons. BERKSHIRE BREEDERS BOOST BETTER SIRES Plan Suggested to Increase Uso of Purebreds. American Association Urging Various State Organizations to Favor Ex change of Registered Boars for Qrade Animals. An Indication of tho nctlvo and widespread support being given to tho bettor-slro campaign now systemati cally fostered by tho United States Department of Agriculture Is Illus trated by a proposal recently mndo by the American Berkshire association. This association, according to u letter recently received by the department, Is suggesting to Statu Berkshire Breeders' association n plan designed to broaden the market for Berkshire boars and Increase the uso of pure bred anlmnls on farms. The association la urging tho vari ous state organizations to mall circu lar letters to their members suggest ing that breeders exchange purebred boars for grudqjhours now being used by farmers, pricing tho registered boar at a close figure and taking the grade bear at the market price uri A Purebred Berkshire Sow. part, payment, tho breeder then send ing the grade boar to the butcher. In their letter to the state associations the national body points out that every Berkshire breeder who follows this suggestion does three things: He puts a Berkshire boar on an ad ditional farm. He provides a mentis of getting good Borkshlro feeder hogs for the market. He puts the purebred slro on n farm where formerly there' was a grade or scrub. Signs bearing the .legend, "Regis tered Berkshire bonr used on tills farm," will bo furnished by the Amer ican association to all farmers who take advantage of this plan. There Is nothing In the plan, sny specialists of the United States Pe partment of Agriculture, that docs not seetp practicable for any other hog breeders' association to use. WINDBREAK FOR PROTECTION Should Be Located on Side of Building and Yards Against Which Pre vailing Winds Blow. Windbreaks for protection of the home and buildings should ho located on the side of the structures and tho stock-feeding yards against which tho prevailing winter winds blow, say for est specialists of tho United States Department of Agriculture. If a nnr row windbreak of only n few rows Is planted, It should bo several rods dis tant from "tho building or ynrd. Snow drifts under tho lee of such a wind break and lies deep around buildings or a feed lot close to It. This drifting may he partly prevented by planting two narrow windbreaks parallel to each other, about two rods apart. Snow then will drift Into, and for tho most part be held In, this Intervening space. Windbreaks for crop protection should bo arranged to protect the crop from tho most damaging winds, which usually come In tho summer. As ofll clent windbreaks give protection along llio surface for n distance of from 15 to 20 tltuos their height, the Intervals between them should be about 15 or 20 times tho height of the trees at their maturity. POTATOES LOST IN STORAGE Decay, Shrinkage and Sprouting Are Caused by Too Much Light and High Temperature. Losses of potatoes in storage can bo minimized If proper enro and attention are given through tho winter. Ade quate ventilation must ho provided. Storage places should bo kept uni formly cool, dark nnd frost-proof. These precautions aro emphasized by potato men of tho Minnesota College of Agriculture. Decay, shrinkage and sprouting nre caused by light and high temperature. FEEDING VALUE OF SOY BEAN Cannot Be Compared to Fodder Corn Because of Protein Content Supplement Each Other. Soy beans can scarcely bo compared to fodder corn In feadlng vnluo bo cause soy beans are very much richer in protein than tho corn plant. They nre splendid foods to supplement each other in u ration. GROWING OLD TOO SOON? Is backache wearing you out making you feel years older than you aref It's you find it hard to keep going?
