Many farmers fall to realize that
one-tenth of an acre devoted to a well-
planned and well-tended garden will
In many cases produce as much food
as an acre of field crops.
The garden should be, and can with
a little planning be, made to produce
throughout the entire season Instead
of only during a month or two In the
spring.

Drops Every Seed at the
Bottom of the Furrow
Here is the profit maker for the farmer who grows grain of any kind. Famous
Peoria Single Disc Furrow Opener insures even depth planting, uniform
yields. Shoe works independently of the disc, on a pivot, allowing it to
follow disc at all times. No matter what depth the disc cuts, the seed
is always drilled at the very bottom of the furrow. This means all
your grain grows and ripens evenly.
PeoriA Disc Shoe cuts any trash and hardest ground ; double run
force feed; sows all kinds of grain, flax, peas, beans or corn.
No‘seed wasted—none lost to the birds or wind—it is all
covered on the bottom of a packed seed bed.

THE OLD WOODEN TUB.
I like to get to thinking of the old
days that are gone,
When there were joys that never
more the world will look upon,
The days before Inventors smoothed
the little cares away
And made what seemed but luxu­
ries then, the joys of every day ;
When bathrooms were exceptions,
and we got our weekly scrub
By standing in the middle of a lit­
tle wooden tub.
THE APE
We bad no rapid heaters, and no
blazing gas to burn,
We boiled the water on the stove,
and each one took his turn.
Sometimes to save expenses we
would use one tub for two.
The water brother Billy used, for me
would also do,
Although an extra kettle I was grant­
ed, I admit.
On winter nights to freshen and to
warm it up a bit.
We carried water up the stairs In
buckets and in palls,
And sometimes splashed it on our
legs and rent the air with
walls.
But if the nights were very cold, by
closing every door
We were allowed to take our bath
upon the kitchen floor.
Beside the cheery stove we stood
and gave ourselves a rub
In comfort most luxurious in that
old wooden tub.
modern homes no more go
through that joyous weekly fun,
And through the sitting rooms at
night no haif-drled children run ;
No little flying forms go past, too
swift to see their charms
With shirts und
underwear and
things
tucked
underneath
their arms;
The home's so full of luxury now,
It’s almost like a club
1 sometimes wish we could go back
to that old wooden tub.

The ape has long, eager toes and

violently with anybody who tries to
pass him a sour peanut. The commer­

thing he Is half undressed. The gorilla
Is the nearest approach to the male
sex which science has yet dug out
In Africa. He walks on two feet with

The chimpanzee Is a blood relative
of the ape, but comes In a larger pack­

one late planting of peas, and frequent
small sowings of lettuce will insure a
continuous supply of these vegetables
during the entire season.
Sweet corn should be planted every
two or three weeks during the early
part of the season, and If the growing
season Is long two plantings should be
made in July or August for autumn
use.
The early garden should also be
planted so that space will be available
when needed for planting full rind win­
ter crops, thus making it possible to
have fresh vegetables practically the
entire year.

In corn fields or wheat fields, or even
in pastures or meadows, may often
be stopped with a little straw. Even
cattle paths in pastures often deepen
so that they need such treatment. In
other places it is necessary to plan to
sow sorghum to stop washing, but if
the gullies are more than a foot deep
and two or three feet wide it Is usu­
ally better to use brush, according to
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture.

Is great enough to make the water cut
seriously It is likely to be necessary
to stake down the brush and straw so
that they will not be washed away.
The less busy winter time should be
used In active work to stop losses
from soil washing nnd In planning,
next season's field work so that the
fields will be planted and cultivated
across the slope or around the hill.
Then the rows will not run straight
down the slope and thereby furnish
the steepest possible channel for the
run-off from rains. Those who have
such winter cover crops as rye to hold

those who do not should not flatter
themselves that no washing Is going
on even In winter when there Is less

SCALES OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Aa Nearly All of Farmer’s Produce Ie
Sold by Weight He Should
Have Set on Farm.
Nearly all of the farmer’s produce Is
sold by weight, and It is not enough
to stand by and see It weighted on the
buyer’s scales. Tou should have a set
of your own In your yard so that you
may be sure you are getting all that
you are entitled to.

Chickens Afford Means of More Cash
and Meat Than Any Other
Stock on Farm.
Chickens are too often discriminated
against when feeding at the bam Is
done. As a rale chickens afford the
family more food and sometimes more
cash for the money and time expended
on them than any other live stock.
Purebred cows In bull association
herds have Increased 249 per cent since
1918, according to the bull association
directory recently complied by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The records for 1918 show that
the number of cows owned by mem­
bers of bull associations was 10,248,
of which 597, or 5.5 per cent, were
purebreds; while the records for 1919
show the total number of cows was
18,244, of which 2,086, or 11.43 per
cent, were purebreds.
Comparing only those associations
which reported in both 1918 and 1919,
it Is found that In 1918 there were 450
purebreds, and in 1919, 1,001 pure­
breds, or an increase of 118 per cent.
That the bull association Is proving

producing milk and butterfat of the

endeavor to extend all these Ideal
conditions throughout as much of the
year as possible, and will succeed just
as far as he recognizes and applies the
factors which go to make up the ideal
conditions.

War, Execution of Saloons
and Disappearance of Free
Lunch Rooms—Hobo No More.
What has become of the old-time
hobo?
Not that anybody wants him back
again, but bls disappearance is a mys­
tery.
To be sure, the war cleaned him
out, but even so, he was a diminish­
ing quantity before the bugle called.
Chief Thomas Shaughnessy of Mad-
ison, WIs., like many other police
chiefs, reports that the tramp has
ceased to be a problem for him and
that the hobo is extinct
Despite the war. It is still a puzzle
to Madison’s custodian of the law what
has become of the 2,605 hoboes who
have disappeared from Madison in the
last five years.

ise Ite value. If the present rate of
improvement la maintained it Is cer­
tain that the future will show a steady
replacement of the gradee by pure­
breds, and that thia will take place
both by natural Increase and by pur­
chase until the members of bull asso­
ciations will have practically all pure-
bred cows in their herds. Without a
bull association few of these smaller
breeders would have found It possible
to get Into the raising of purebreds.
number or lodgers at the police sta­
tion was 2,820, in comparison with 215
In 1919.
The extinction or execution of the
saloon is one contributing factor to
the lack of “’boes” according to Chief
Shaughnessy.
Disappearance of free
lunches and slumbering joints have
set the tramps to working for bread
und butter.
Scarcity of labor during
the war forced » lot of the triflers to
work. And a lot learned how to work
in the army, says the chief.
In 1914, 2,820 lodgers registered at
the police station ; tn 1915, 3,486 ; in
1916, 2,320; in 1917,1,066; in 1918, 156;
and in 1919, 215. The almost steady
decrease in numbers is shown by a
comparison of the lodgers In the
months of December during the five
years which show 313 lodgers at the
police station in 1914; 518 in 1915;
166 in 1916 ; 40 in 1917 ; 15 in 1918, and
only several in 1919.
Azores Once the Object of
Scientific Interest Owing
to the Volcanic Eruptions
The Azores Islands were made the
objects of scientific interest by the
volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
while the former were alive.
Sub-
oceanic eruptions, sometimes piling up
islands which soon disappeared, were
characteristic phenomena.
The Azores comprise three groupe
of islands, their total area being less
than that of Rhode Island.
Their
population is about 300,000, most of
the Inhabitants being Portuguese.
About the middle of the fifteenth cen­
tury the Portuguese sent expeditions
to settle on these islands. One island,
Fayal, was presented by Alfonso V
of Portugal, to bls aunt, Isabella,
duchess of Burgundy.
It was upon
her marriage to Philip the Good, duke
of Burgundy, that he founded the
famous knightly order of the Golden
Fleece.

ica, to offer thanks. On Santa Maria
