loses its sugar rapidly, and to be en
joyed at its best must be taken di
rect from the garden. A borne gar
den, for the city dweller, for the
suburban or town resident, has so
many advantages that it is hard to
understand Why everybody don't have
a garden of some kind. Aside from
Its advantages in sunnlying the fam
ily with a variety of healthful foods
during a long season, a good garden
contributes to the health and morals
of every person who acquires a love
for the work. It takes qualities of
thrift and persistence of purpose to
make a good gardener, qualities that
are needed to make a success of any
business, and if you are lacking in
these a good garden will help to
train you. A good gardener learns
to plan ahead and is forever looking
ahead to the rich promises of nature.
He knows froiri experience that na
ture rewards all his efforts abundant
ly. If you hayen't the garden habit,
get it this year. Make plans now.
You. may not succeed just as you ex
pect this, year. m Next year you will
know how to plan better. Keep at
it a few years and you will never
give it up, for it, will become a part
of your nature. A good start in this
direction is to get the catalogues of
the seedsmen, and take advantage of
the many helps they contain. Some
of these advertisers may be found in
this issue vf The Commoner. It will
pay you to look them up.

$10,000,000 A Year
Wasted On Trusses
Wrong to Buy Anything for Rupture
Without Getting Sixty Days Trial
A c onservatlve estimate shows that nearly ten million dol
lars a year In this" country alone 5s practically wasted on
worthless rupture appliances all because people- trust to a
mcei try-on Instead of making a thorough test.
It is well ' to know how organic
matter from plants and animals is
converted into food for plants, says
Farm and Ranch. Everyone is
familiar with the odor of fermenting
manure. This Is a eood example of
I Hi a nrocess of -nitrification -which
Changes organic matter into avau-
nhlVv rlnnf.' food. Certain bacteria
.attlaclc the1 manure and convert it
into ammonia, wbich gas has the foul
smell. Other bacteria convert the
ammonia into nitrous acids or ni
trites, which are 'further transformed
into nitric acid' or nitrates by other
bacteria. In the form of nitrates
this is soluble in water and is
renrtllv takcri tin by plants. This
same process is constantly taking
place in the soil. Leaves, stalks or
other organic matter in the soil pass
through this process called nitrifica
tion, a portion being transformed
into nitrates and a larger portion
being broken down into mold called
humus. After the nitrates are used
by the plants and the plants build up
their tissues, produce and die they
go back through the same process
and thus the cycle in nature con
tinues so long as man is wise enough
to permit it. But when he gathers,
sells off and burns nature is defeated
in her plan of maintaining fertility
and feeding man and animals.

each a year, twenty of which he paid
to tho owner; the rest brought 30
cents a dozen; including the owner's
$200 ho received $1,000 from his
400 hens. His two cows gave almost
300 pounds of butter fat each. His
400 fruit trees were worth to him
more than 40 cents each, not, a year.
His garden was heavily manured and
gave great returns and tho general
conditions of his land were constant

of such plots lying adjacent to our
cities, many of them aro handled by
people "short" on their management,
yet there are thousands of farm boys
who could make a success of this
work who rush to the cities with the
idea that a $1,000 a year job is a
munificent salary. Tho result is that
city dwellers suffer because of these

Small farms have great value
when near large cities and under
proper management. This does not
follow that anyone can go out and
take up this kind' of work and make
a success of it simply because he has
the best markets right at his own
doors, but there are many of just
such opportunities open to men who
can do just common, everyday farm
work. The owner of a twenty-four
acre1 farm near Providence, Rhode
Island, leases it for $18 an acre, or
4 per cent on $10,000. The tenant
agrees to bring to the owner eggs to
the value of $200 and garden vege
tables to the value of a little more.
The owner lives in the city and these
are as good as cash. The manage
ment was not unusual and the prices
were not high. His greatest asset
was the ability to do the most com
mon farm work in a sane, common
sense manner. And here are his fig-

There is no combination of feeds
