GROWING RAD EASY MATTER Garden Docs Not Seem Complete Without Short Row or Patch of Vegetables. j(Jf 0IL MOST IMPORTANT Almost. Any Variety la Good, Main Difference Being in -Type of Root It Is Cool Weather Plant And Grows Quickly. The rndlsh Is practically a uni versal vegetable. It Is now In the mnrkot the year around and rnrely Is there a garden planted without at least a short row or small patch broadcast to these pungent appetiz ers of the garden. There Isn't a grcut difference In the vnrlous kinds of rad ish offered for sale by the seedsman and almost any of them will be suc cessful. The main difference Is In the type of root. Stick n pencil blindly on nlmost any of them nnd order the one spiked and you will have good radishes If the gar den conditions are sultnble for grow ing good radishes at all. In the South the rndlsh can be grown outdoors almost all winter ex cept In the colder sections, plnntlngs being made every ten days or two weeks for succession, in the North It Is the first vegetnble to go Into the ground In the spring; In fact, It should he planted as Soon as the soli can be worked, ns It Is quite hardy and won't be hurt by n little frost. It Is Cool Weather Plant. It is a cool weather plant und must he grown steadily nnd quickly. Hot weather or a dry spell, either giving a check In growth, result In hollow, pithy roots, which nre quite worthless. Cool and fairly moist conditions make the crisp, Milld, toothsome radishes that everyone relishes In the enrly days of spring. Of the white radishes, Icicle has at tained great popularity and Is n tine radish. It Is excellent In the summer when other types nre not nt their best. In case of doubt, French Breakfast In the olive shade, Scarlet Globe In the round, nnd some of the 20-day specialties can be recommended. Any of the long scnrlet types give much the same result, tho Improvement In the newer varieties being In regular ity and uniformity of growth. Radish soil must be rich and tine nnd (deeply worked. It In best to have the manure dug In during tho fall or if this hns not been done It should be well rotted nnd well Incorporated with the soli In the spring. Radishes will If These Radishes Had Not Been Thinned They Would Not Have Been So Perfect In Shape. grow almost anywhere If the soil Is rich and In almost any sort of soil ex cept clay. Clay soil needs to be light ened with ushes or sand nnd copious dressings of niauuro spaded into It if radishes are to do their best in It. Radishes may be sown broadcast pro vided the seed Is not scattered too thickly or In rows as close together ns six inches. Clean Up Rubbish. Clean up last year's garden If this was not attended to In the fall. All remnants of vegetables and (lowers must be gathered together and burned. This will destroy tho eggs of Innumerable Insects. Weeds should likewise be destroyed, but do not yet destroy mulches which have been placed over hardy plants and around shrubs. If you have not alrondy sprinkled limestone over your garden urea, this Is a good time to do it so thnt the spring freezing and thnwlng and tho early rains may help to dis Integrate and carry tho lhno water Into the soli to sweeten It. Llnio Is especially boncflclnl to grapes. Later Garden Planting. Lnter gurden vegetables require less work and less anxloty, as u rule, than early vegetables. The soil should be neither too hard to prepare nor should It lie so slow to germinate and start growing the plnnts as curly plantings. Advantage of Clover. When the ground In cultlvutcd fields becomes hard and dry In tho growing season wo should know thnt tho soil Is calling for humus.

Bird Seems to Have Special Liking for Galls Formed by Parasitic Worm Other Means for Control ling Disease. (Prepared by th Un'tedtSUtei Department of Agriculture.) Itecent Investigations conducted by the United States Department of Agri culture have shown that tho Kngllsh sparrow Is a benefactor to humanity nt least In one respect. It Is able to kill nematodes parasitic on wheat. In this nematode disease of wheat the parasitic worm, forms galls which take the place of the normal kernels. During the early development of these gnlls the sparrows seem to have a special liking for them. At first It was suspected that the sparrow might spread the Infection In this way, but it was found that the sparrow's diges tive apparatus sufficed to kill the nemntode. The nematode disease of wheat oc curs In Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina. It also attacks rye. English Sparrow Is Useful in Control ling Disease of Wheat. enimer, and spelt. Tlie disease In comes serious if precautions are not taken for its control. Fortunately practicable control measures are known. They necessitate (1) the use of seed free from nemntode galls, (2) sowing such clean seed on nematode- freo land, (3) keeping wheat or other susceptible crops off Infested fields for nt lenst one year, nnd (4) keeping nemntode-Infested straw nnd manure off land to be used for wheat within a year. The nematode Is not able to move laterally In the soli by Its own efforts except for very short distances. Re- cause of this fact the disease can bo eilectlveiy controlled by tin- farmer on whose land It inn;' occur. No wheat variety adapted for cul ture In the Infested sections bus been found resistant to this disease. TEACH CALF TO LEAD EARLY Young Animals Are Easier to Handle and They Should Be Fitted With Halters. Calves, especially those to be used In the show-ring or purebred bulls or heifers should he taught to lend when very young. They are easier to handlo and much time und trouble will 1)8 snved later on. When cnlves nre a few months old they should he carefully fitted with halters and tied up n short time each day. This will cause them to lead very readily. Lead the calves to suckle or to water for a few days. In lending them for the first few times pull diagonally first to one side and then to the other. SELF-FEEDER PLEASES HOGS Better Gains Made by Use of Device and Are Built in Many Dif ferent Ways. It Is h fact well recognized by feed ers thnt hogs having nccess to a self- feeder mnko better gains than thosa that do not. These feeders for hogs ure made In various types. Double- side feeders with a single door on top, double-side feeders with a double door on top nnd single-side feeders with n single door on top, nil have proved practical. FEED HORSES SWEET CLOVER Better for Them Than Any Other Class of Animals Because Fiber Is Easily Digested. Sweet clover, If nllowed to become fnirly mnture, Is very coarse and stem- my. Hay of that character Is more .favorable for horses than any other class of anlmnls becnuse horses can consume and digest a larger percent age of crude fiber In plnnts. This Is bpenuse the horse has nn Intestine of largo cnpnclty ond tho crude fiber fa digested In the Intestine rather than the stomach. CURE DIGESTIVE DISORDERS Value of Charcoal as Preventive of Ailments Cannot Be Over-Emphasized. The vnluo of charcoal can scarcely bo over-emphasized and It should be fed to fowls of all ages as a preventive of bowel disorders and disease. It In best to keep it before the fowis at all tjmcH, ns there is no danger of them eating too much. Charcoal has a grent purifying effect In absorbing noxious gases and will correct many digestive I disorders. DAIRY POINTS HOUSE FOR SMALL DAIRYMAN Convenient, Sanitary and Inexpensive It Should Be Well Built and Located. (Prepnred by the United State Department of Agriculture.) The dniry house that will fulfill sanitary requirements, and at tiie samo time be practical and Inexpensive, has been planned by the United States De partment of Agriculture. Many re quests nre received for Information concerning tho construction nnd ar rangement of such buildings. To meet this demand the department has drawn up pinna for dairy houses of various sizes which cun he constructed economically. Copies of the plans will be sent free to thoso upplylng for them. For n person who Is striving to Im prove the quality of his products a practical, Inexpensive typo of dairy house, such as that, planned by the department, Is nn absolute necessity. Milk that Is poured or strained in the barn, or allowed to stand there, Is liable to he contaminated by bacteria and to absorb stable odors. As soon as the cow's milk Is drawn It should he carried to the dairy house, to bo cooled Immediately to 50 degrees F. or lower. An up-to-date sanltnry dairy house Is provided with all the facilities for cooling milk in the most economi cal manner. For convenience the dairy house should be near the bnrn, yet so fnr from it thnt no barn odors can be detected in tlio house, and should be on well-drained lnnd that slopes from the house. The principal purpose in building n dairy house is to provide a place where dairy products may be handled apart from anything else. To carry out this Idea It Is necessnry to divide the Interior of the building so that tho utensils do not have to be washed in Interior of Model Dairy in Which Electricity is Used. the same room where the milk is hnndled. The idea of absolute clean liness must always be kept In mind; nnd for this reason there should be no unnecessary ledges or rough sur faces on which dirt may lodge. Venti lators are necessary to keep the stir In the milk room fresh and free from all odors, nnd to carry steam away from the wash room. Windows nre of great Importance, as they admit sun- Blt n(l fresh nlrt nnd facimtlte w6rl In summer the doors and windows should he screened to exclude files and other insects. It Is necessary that there be n plenti ful supply of cold, running water at the dairy house. If It Is not possible to have a regular water system, water may he piped from nn elevated tank by nn engine, wind mill, hand pump, or hydraulic rnm. The dairyman can 111 afford to spend his time carrying water In a pall to cool milk and wash utensils. For tho proper sterilization of uten sils nn abundance of steam or hot water Is needed. A pall or can may appear to bo clean nnd still may con tain numerous bacteria which will hasten the souring of milk, cause bud llavor in butter nnd cheese, or sprend contnglon. After the utensils nro thoroughly clean they should be either scalded with boiling water or steamed Too dairy house should .be so built as to economize lnbor to the greatest OX' tent. To do this the building must bo arranged to nvold unnecessary steps. The equipment of the dniry house consists of a 1V6 to 2 horsepower vertical boiler which supplies steam to tho sink nnd to the steam jet In tho drain board, a galvnnlzed-Iron wash sink, n can rack, a Babcock tester, n concrete cooling tnnk, a milk cooler, nnd milk scnles. A separator may nlso bo located In the milk room.
