HOME GARDEN SHOULD PRODUCE
SURPLUS FOR WINTER STORAGE
Boys Gathering the Product of Their Work, and They Are Pleased.
A half-acre Harden, If cured for prop'
i-rly, will produce far more vegetables
tlnui tlio average family can eoimimo
luring tin1 maturlnL' period of the
Drops. Only a small portion of a car
lien of this size should bo devoted to
those vegetables that inut he used as
fcoon as they reach maturity. It Is
advisable to deote the major portion
of tlio space to tho'-e crops which If
not needed at once may bo kept for
winter use. In fact, If the space is
available the garden should be planned
with the definite purpose of growing
crops for storage for winter use.
Lato beets, late cabbage, carrots, cel
ery, onions, parsnips, lato potatoes,
sweet potatoes, salsify, and late tur
nips may be stored in their natural
condition and if possible should be
Brown to tho extent of the family
needs for storage for winter u&e.
Work Garden All Season.
It Is possible In nearly all sections
of tho country to grow late beets, late
cabbage, late potatoes and turnips on
ground that has already produced a
crop of lettuce,, radishes, beans, early
peas, early potatoes, or some crop re
quiring n relatively short period for
Its maturity. Gardeners are Inclined
to neglect the opportunities for crop
production In the garden after the llrst
of the season has passed and frequent
ly space Is allowed to He Idle that
should be producing a crop of late po
tatoes, cabbage or turnips. In sections
where the season is short it Is possi
ble to plant tho late crops between the
rows of early crops before the early

Atl tho L'round In the garden should
bo kept fully occupied nil the season.
As soon ns one crop Is removed, some
thing else should take Its place. The
following grouping of vegetables will
nerve to indicate which ones may pre
cede or follow others.

In planning the garden all early-ma-tiirinir
rrons should be grouped to
gether, so that after removal tho
ground will be avallablo ns n unit for
planting something else. It Is not al
ways necessary to wait until tho crop
Is removed. Lato cabbage or sweet
corn may be plnnted between tho rows
of enrly potatoes some two or threo
weeks before the potntoos nro bar
vested. Some dissimilar crop should
fallow tho llrst crop occupying tho
ground, In order to help In the control
of Insects and diseases.
crops are romowd, thus gaining two
or three weeks' time.
I.ate potatoes may be planted on
ground from which early pea- or string
beans have been removed.
I.ato cabbage may be planted be
tween the rows of early potatoes be
fore this crop Is mature. Turnips may
be sown between the rows of late corn
and late bush beans. I.ate beets may
be planted between the rows of late
beans and will grow long after frost
has killed the beans.
Storage In the Home.
Ily utilizing every square foot of
space In the garden a considerable
quantity of vegetables may be grown
for storage for winter use. If no stor
age facilities exist In tho homo all the
crops suitable for keeping may bo
stored In outdoor banks or pits. How
ever, It Is not at all dllllcult to provide
storage facilities In inot homes, It be
ing only necessary to make use of the
cellar, the attic, a large closet, or oth
er parts of the dwelling, depending up
on the character of the product to bo
stored.
Iteiins, including the Limns, may be
stored dry, and It Is ndvlsable to grow
them to as great an extent as possible
for winter use. Limns and other pole
beans may be planted around the fence,
It being possible In this way to produce
considerable quantities of dried beans
for winter use. The pods should be al
lowed to remain on the vines until dry
enough to rattle, should then be gath
ered, spread on the attic lloor or In
some other dry place, and when dry,
shelled and stored In bags.

Growing Specialties.
It will pny the home gardener tc
grow certain specialties of which he
may be fond, and which mny he
troublesome or expensive to purchase.
Okra Is "tin example of this class, and
little beds of parsley, chlvos or other
herbs take up very little room and
provide the housewife with additions

Heroic Memories of the Past Insplro
Many Regiments of the Army of
the United States.
We have luard of thoM' UrltMi regi
ments the "IllncU Watch," "Seafortl
Highlander." "InnMdllon KuslloerV
"Sherwood Koresters," and some nth
er.s, famous fur the long years thej
have been In cnNiuico. for their licrnlt
deeds In past wars, for the tradltloni
that hae come down through geneta
lions of soldiers, of what they did a
Waterloo, or Inkormann, or at tin
siege of Luc know.
Who, oulslde the army Itself, know;
that we In America have reglmenti
more than a century old, with heroic
traditions, too? That fact was brought
to mind the other day by a little news
Item recoidlng the annual dinner In
Camp Kagle l'ass, T a. of the olll
cers' mess of the Third Tutted States
Infantry regiment, and said the Item:
"Kver since the battle of Monterey,
In the Mexican war, when for three
days the Third bore the brunt of a
great battle, It has been the custom for
'.he officers to assemble annually for
regimental dinner."
Hut the history of Hint regiment
coos away back of that battle In Mex
'co in September, IS 17. It goes back
ivor 125 years of active service, since
Its organization In 170'J as tin "Infan
try of the Third Subleglon." Knur
vear.s later It Ik came the Third In
fantry, and so It has remained ever
since.
This famous regiment wns not In tho
Revolutionary war. but many veterans
of that war were In Its first organiza
tion. It was part of the first regular
army of the United States, and fought
In the War of 1S12 and lir the cam
paigns against warring Creek, Chip
pewa, Sioux and Hlackfeet Indians. In
the days before there was a house oi
a road In Kansas territory It did duty
there. It went through the Mexican
war, the Civil war and the Spanish"
American war.
Hut there is an older regiment than
the Thlrdi The First regiment of In
fantry was organized In 3789. from n
regiment of state troops which fought
tinder Washington In the Revolution
nry war, and It Is yet In existence, Its
colonel being Daniel L. Howell of Iowa.
This regiment has n history of glori
ous deeds, too; and both these old
regiments will have those traditions of
the past to spur them on to greater
deeds In this war.
Plants which grow high and cause
heavy shade should not bo located
where they will Interfere with sun-loving
small plants. It Is well, also, to
sepnrate perennials, such as rhubarb
and asparagus which are not culti
vated, from plants which must be
tilled.

Planting Castor Beans.
A bushel of castor beans of tho Indlu
variety will plant from 15 to 20 acres.
Tho seed should bo soaked In warm
water for 12 to 2-1 hours before plant
ing. Such treatment makes germiua
Hon more rapid and certain.
Mining Soil Profitable.
Mining the soli can only bo made
profitable by the miner turning man
ufacturer and selling his product on
tho market nearest tho consumer, nnd
roturnlng the waste to the soil.
The same kind of vegetables should
not bo grown twice, If this can be
avoided, In the same part of the gar
den. If a radlcnlly different kind Is
grown, disease spores nnd Insects,
though present In the soil, probably
will not attack the second crop.
Ready Market for Crops.
Early calibage, cauliflower, celery
tomato and other garden plants shoulc
find a ready market this year. Flor
Ists In some of the towns and cities arc
using part of their houses for grow
ing this kind of stock.
Depth for Planting Beans,
neans of any kind should not be
planted nny deeper thun Is necessnrj
to secure good germination. This
should never be more than 2 Inches and
on heavy soil It should not be more
than 1 to lJi Inches.
Many Gardens Neglected.
Many gardens which start very fa
vorably In tho spring gradually decline
In productivity as the season ndvnnces
and become weed patches long before
fall arrives.
Great Nitrogen User.
Corn Is n great user of nitrogen
while potatoes and root crops need
plenty of potassium. Has your soil
enough of these?
Don't Experiment.
Do not experiment with crops about
which you know nothing. There Is no
easy way of beating tho crop produc
tlou game.
Indians Making Good Soldiers.
At a soldiers' camp In Texas there
Is a Cherokee, Jesse Flxon. He can't
talk English, but he can talk the al
lied language. A few days ago he
wanted to convey some menage to n
lieutenant, and, using an Interpreter
nnd sign language, he declared ho
wanted to go to Franco right away
nnd bayonet the kaiser nil by himself.
There are some noted members of
the various tribes In servlci'. Oeorgo
Uaconrlnd, son of Chief lhiconrlnd, of
the Osage nation, Is u good soldier and
patriotic. His father, back In tho
Osage country, still wears a blanket.
Herbert Whlteshleld, n noted base
ball player, sought by several major
league clubs, Is In tho army. At ono
of the cantonments Major Koehler,
long West Point swordmnster, put tho
men through strenuous exercise. It
wns play for Indians. Some men
were overcome nnd had to drop out,
but not one of the Indians did. Tho
Indians, too, are not only healthy and
strong ns a race, but they follow all
tho sanitary regulations In camp.
Several Indians havo reached tho
grade of captain.

Nature's Inconsistencies.
"IIow shall we Interpret tho slnj
Ing of birds? nsks John Ilurroughs in
un article In Harper's.
"Our turkey-buzzard has no voice
brcause It has no syrinx (the musical
box of tho birds)," he says. "Maybe
Nature did not dare tmst the unclean
ly glutton to speak. The hawks one,
the eagles she seems moro liberal
with because theirs Is a nobler type
of savngery.
"And yet, not to bo too sure about
nnture's motives, thero Is tho Euro
pean stork, n rather noble bird, whlct

fathom nature's inconsistencies. See
what n voice she has given to the

A Word of Precaution,
JUST wherein lies tlio reason for tho uso of vegetable preparations for infants
and children ?
Why are any but vegetable preparations unsafe for infants and children ?
Why aro Syrups, Cordials and Props condemned by all Physicians and
most laymen ?
Why has the Government placed a ban on all preparations containing, among
otiVr poisonous drugs, Opium in its variously prepared forms and pleasing tastes,
aud under its innumerable names?
These aro questions that every Mother will do well to inquire about.
Any Physician will recommend tho keeping of Fletcher's Casturia in tho
